Chapter 735: Meng Yunzheng's Plan for the Future

Shu Yu calmly took a sip of tea. After all, the Second Prince did indeed have a blood relationship with Gong Qiu.

Meng Yunzheng lightly tapped his fingers on the table. "You're right. Whether he is or not, we can say that he is. However, we shouldn't intervene in this matter. We need to let the Third Prince stumble upon it and guide him to think in that direction."

Shu Yu gave him a thumbs-up, impressed by his intelligence.

Although the book mentioned that it was the male and female leads who stumbled upon their affair, she had already confirmed that the process could be changed as long as the outcome remained the same.

By replacing the male and female leads with the Third Prince, the thorn in the Emperor's heart would be his own son, while the Fifth Prince could free himself from the situation.

However...

"Will it implicate you?" Shu Yu put down her cup, still concerned. "Although you don't acknowledge Gong Qiu, he is still your father. If he commits such a crime, the entire Gong family might not be able to escape the repercussions."

The book did mention that the Emperor didn't want the matter to escalate, so the rest of the Gong family was safe.

In the end, the Gong family gradually declined and soon disappeared from people's conversations.

But who knew if there would be any unforeseen circumstances?

However, Meng Yunzheng didn't seem worried about it.

"You just said it yourself, whether he is the son or not, we can say he is. The truth can be manipulated as long as we have evidence and enough power. We can dictate how things are said. Isn't that still within our control?"

He seemed prepared for this. "Don't worry, ever since I wanted to bring him down, I have already planned an exit strategy."

His life was protected by his mother's sacrifice, so how could he easily give it up and die alongside such a person?

Hearing his words, Shu Yu felt relieved.

Meng Yunzheng raised his head solemnly, took her hand, and said softly, "Ah Yu, thank you."

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "I've told you before, I may not be able to do other things, but I have a sharp mind. Did the idea I suggested help open up new possibilities for you?"

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, unable to hide his amusement. "Yes, your mind is indeed sharp. But when I said thank you, I wasn't referring to that. I wanted to thank you for listening to me and remaining steadfast by my side, willing to accompany me through this difficult time."

"It's nothing. Just make me prosperous in the future."

"Cough, cough." Suddenly, a soft cough came from outside the window.

Meng Yunzheng retracted his hand and looked towards the person outside the window. "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xi hastily explained with a strong desire to survive, "I didn't hear anything at all. I immediately spoke up to remind you when I arrived here. Well, after you finish talking, please come out. grandmother has been waiting for too long, and she's worried that you might do something bad."

After speaking, he quickly slipped away, afraid of being punished.

Shu Yu looked at his receding figure with mixed feelings and asked Meng Yunzheng, "So, Zhao Xi was brought by your father and his master to be your attendant?"

Meng Yunzheng remained silent. In fact, he also wanted to call her "grandmother."
