Chapter 547: The plot thickens

While she was off to have fun and adventure, others were meeting to plot in secret. The one thing two of the plotters had in common besides their family ties was their hatred for Chi Lian. Four people were meeting, two women and two men. Of all places to meet and plot, they chose the safest one in the empire, the royal place. After all, who would dare to eavesdrop on a conversation in the emperor’s Palace?

They forgot however, that the peep star could be everywhere and they would never know.

In order to ensure secrecy, the crown princess had thrown a fit which sent all of her maids running for the hills.

Now, alone in her private quarters, she sat with her most vicious cousin Yan Daya, her cousin Yan Fei and her uncle Yan Moon.

The most laughable detail about this meeting was the fact that all three of them were drinking tea from Juan tea shop. After all the fuss the crown princess made about Da Hong Pao and it’s precious value, she was hypocritically enjoying a cup of honey grape fruit tea from Chi Lian’s shop.

Yan Daya had been feeling uneasy from the moment they met, she could not help shaking off the feeling that someone was watching them. Then again, the crown princess had been a constant face on the peep star’s weibo in the previous months so it was not abnormal for her to be wary.

"Are you sure that everyone is gone?" She asked the crown princess. She did not stop at questioning her, Yan Daya stood up and used a frequency monitoring device to scan the room for any hidden cameras and bugs.

"I did all that just before you arrived, relax, nobody is watching us. I found the peep star’s hidden camera last week and crushed it like a bug." The princess assured Yan Daya, looking mighty pleased with herself.

If Chi Lian was watching she would be laughing at the arrogance of the crown princess. Of course she found a hidden camera, it had been deliberately placed there for her to find and boost her confidence in order to make her lips looser because she had been speaking in too much code lately. Whatever they were plotting, Chi Lian had a feeling they were coming close to it.

Yan Daya gave her cousin a minimising look and she cursed. "Shit!!! You shit head, that camera could have led us to the true identity of the peep star. We have all the means of tracing the camera back to where it was purchased from. Must I teach you everything? This is why we are so close and yet so far from our goal. It’s because the family sent a fool like you here."

"Calm down Daya," Yan Moon, their uncle said. "You had every opportunity to become the crown princess but you turned it down."

"Because she thought she would be marrying the great Jun Muyang but look at her now, still single and almost thirty. You have become a bitter old maid cousin." The crown princess saw an opportunity to take a jab at Yan Daya, one that would hit were it hurt the most and she took it.

In both of these women’s eyes was a cruelty laying beneath which they masked daily in front of others with smiles.

"Who says I cannot get Jun Muyang?" Yan Daya smiled and gave her cousin a cold gaze. "If I were you, I would concentrate on preparing myself for widowhood. The emperor thinks he is so slick in his plans to get rid of you. They have already picked a replacement for you, a girl from the Rai family. It’s a good thing that we have ears close to the emperor or else we would miss this news. We are keeping an eye on her as well and we will get rid of her at the first chance we get."

"We agreed to use the assigned words Daya, one never knows where the ears are." Her brother Yan Feng reminded her.

Yan Daya sneered at him and she smirked, " I just scanned the room and two of our people are watching the doors. We can freely plot the demise of the crown prince and that whore Chi Lian as well. "

"I want that bitch dead for humiliating me, I want her death to be painful."The crown princess added. "Burn her alive, or peel off skin while she screams in pain."

"Or find a few beggars to to do some dirty things to her children while she watches. " Yan Daya suggested maliciously and she laughed.

Yan Feng shivered and he pushed himself away from her. "Jeez Daya!!! They are just kids. Don’t you have any limits? Why is your mind so sick?"

"I support you cousin Daya, add that bratty little prince to the list." The crown princess added and the two women laughed.

Yan Feng swallowed, fighting the urge to excuse himself because he was slowly realising the extent to which some some members of his family were sick. They were not just sick, they were rotten to their very cores.

He was on board with planning the murder of the crown prince but not children. He would not touch children.

"Can we just get back to the issue at hand? There should be a royal funeral in three months, whether it’s the crown prince or the...." Yan Moon spoke sternly before looking around and revising his words, "the big fish himself. The company doesn’t care who goes first but all the power of the Long’s should fall into our hands soon. Why have you failed to have a male child crown princess?"

"I am doing my best but the crown prince will not touch me anymore. I am sure that he is in agreement with his father to dethrone me somehow. Why else would he maintain silence when the peep star tarnished my name everywhere." The crown princess was very sullen about this. "Short of drugging him my hands are tied."

"We brought something that could help." Yan Feng gave the crown princess a small bottle. It was similar to the one which was used in an attempt to drug Muyang. "The company expects good news in one month. If the crown prince won’t do it physically then we can do it artificially. And if that fails, we will use the seed of a worthy person from the company. There is no time to waste anymore, we must make haste before the emperor’s dogs start raising concerns about your character which will lay the grounds for your dethronement."

Despite all the scanning and assurances of privacy, a little drone was perched on the sill of a window, listening and recording as they plotted evil. Soon, Chi Lian would find out that trouble was brewing and she would be right in the centre.
