Chapter 230 Realizing the Seriousness of the Matter
Zhao Yucheng, filled with joy, walked briskly into the Third Prince's Mansion.
Along the way, he was secretly looking forward to meeting Concubine Yin, hoping to see her stunning beauty again.
Finally, after passing through layers of corridors and bypassing several courtyards, Zhao Yucheng finally saw the Concubine Yin he had been thinking about.
At this time, Concubine Yin was sitting on the main seat in the hall. Her gorgeous clothes made her look more graceful and elegant.
When she saw Zhao Yucheng coming, a smile immediately appeared on Concubine Yin's face.
She said softly to Zhao Haoli, "Li'er, please step aside first. Mother wants to talk to your Wang Ka alone to learn about your academic progress."
Zhao Haoli, who was standing nearby, heard this and hurriedly bowed respectfully to Concubine Yin, saying, "Yes, mother, I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and saluted Zhao Yucheng, then walked out of the hall with steady steps.
Looking at Zhao Haoli's departing back, Concubine Yin and Zhao Yucheng followed him with their gazes at the same time.
Although Zhao Haoli is still young, his every move and gesture reveals a courtesy far beyond his peers.
Seeing this scene, both Concubine Yin and Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but reveal expressions of satisfaction.
After Zhao Haoli completely disappeared from his sight, Zhao Yucheng could no longer suppress the emotions surging in his heart, and rushed to Concubine Yin in one step.
His blazing eyes were fixed on the beauty before him, and he murmured softly, "Ling'er, I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yucheng couldn't wait to open his arms and hug Concubine Yin into his arms.
And at this moment, a trace of barely perceptible disgust suddenly flashed across Concubine Yin's eyes, which were originally full of smiles, but she cleverly concealed it in an instant.
Then, she raised her head slightly, opened her red lips, and said with a look of both anger and joy: "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
"Ling'er, how can such a big thing be compared to the importance of my longing for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his restless hands began to wander impatiently on Concubine Yin's delicate body.
Concubine Yin looked at Zhao Yucheng with a serious expression and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, please stop fooling around. I really have something extremely important to tell you."
Seeing this, Zhao Yucheng calmed down a little and slowly loosened his arms that were tightly holding Concubine Yin.
However, there was still a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, and he muttered, "Ling'er, what exactly is making you so anxious?"
Concubine Yin reached out to tidy up her slightly messy clothes, and then looked around.
Then she lowered her voice and said to Zhao Yucheng, "Your Highness, according to reliable information brought back by my subordinates, the Crown Prince is not dead. He is even with Wang Xinyao from Nanhu County!"
"What?" Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard that.
He retorted suspiciously, "Wang Xinyao is just an ordinary village woman, and she's a widow. How could the prince get involved with someone of such low status?"
Concubine Yin said without hesitation in a decisive tone, "This is absolutely true. The Crown Prince's strength has now reached the peak of the Martial King realm. Moreover, Wang Xinyao's cultivation is also not to be underestimated!"
"What? The peak of Martial King? How is this possible!" Zhao Yucheng was shocked when he heard this.
"Two years ago, the prince was only an eighth-grade martial artist!" His face was full of disbelief.
A hint of cruelty suddenly flashed in Concubine Yin's eyes.
She lowered her voice and said, "It is precisely because of his astonishing growth rate that Your Highness must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!"
Zhao Yucheng also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.
"I am now in this palace, and I am trembling with fear and walking on thin ice every day! The only one I can rely on and depend on is you, Your Highness!" Concubine Yin said slowly.
Then, with a hint of worry, she continued, "The newly promoted Imperial Concubine Li is deeply favored by His Majesty. If she successfully gives birth to a prince, or if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the palace safely, then what will become of our Li'er?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yucheng frowned and began to pace back and forth in the room.
After a long while, he finally stopped.
He said solemnly, "I intend to arrange for several Martial Emperor-level experts to go to Nanhu County in the next few days."
"Let them lie low, carefully investigate the situation over there, and wait for an opportunity to strike!"
"It would be best if we could eradicate them by a chance, but I'm afraid they'll come back with a swagger, and by then, it will be difficult for us to take action easily!" Zhao Yucheng said with some concern.
Concubine Yin nodded slightly, a hint of determination showing on her beautiful face: "I naturally understand that Li'er's position as Crown Prince is of vital importance, and the slightest stain cannot be allowed! I will leave this matter entirely to His Majesty for his decision."
When she looked at Zhao Yucheng with her autumn-water eyes, they were full of trust and dependence, but in her heart she cursed him countless times.
Zhao Yucheng raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, and said loudly: "Ling'er, don't worry. Not to mention that the Crown Prince is only at the Martial King level, even if he was a little more powerful, I would not take him seriously."
"My cultivation has now reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, and I can be called the most powerful person in the world!" As he spoke, he straightened his body unconsciously, emitting a powerful aura.
Perhaps before, he was a little afraid of the powerful eunuch Xu.
However, today, with his own strength growing by leaps and bounds, he no longer fears anyone.
Looking around this huge capital city, I am afraid no one can compete with it.
If it weren't for the thought of preserving the incomparably noble throne for Li'er, if it weren't for the reputation of wisdom that he was pursuing.
Moreover, half of the officials in the court were promoted by him personally. With his current strength and influence, changing dynasties is just a piece of cake for him!
"Ling'er, you have to be careful and cautious during this period of time and don't reveal your true identity." Zhao Yucheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of pride and possessiveness, and he slowly explained to the person in front of him.
"It would be best if my royal brother doesn't come to you. In this way, you will belong to me alone!" After saying this, he gently raised his hand and gently stroked Concubine Yin's silky soft hair.
Then, the two began to discuss some key details in a low voice.
They sometimes whispered to each other and sometimes fell into deep thought. After a detailed discussion, Zhao Yucheng finally felt that everything had been arranged.
So he stood up and quietly left the Third Prince's Mansion.
