PDLP Chapter 147 Complaint
Chapter 147 Complaint
"Waste." The Fourth Prince angrily kicked the butler to the ground.
"Keep investigating for this prince. Don't come back if you can't find anything."
The butler scrambled away.
The Prime Minister came over and sighed, "Your Highness, there's no need to investigate. This was most likely done by the Second Prince."
"He has suffered assassination attempts one after another, so he must be holding a grudge. However, for the sake of his reputation, he would not commit assassination. He would only spread rumors."
The fourth prince gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, you bastard."
"When this prince conquers the capital, I will cut him into pieces."
He was just speaking out of anger now, and he couldn't do anything to the second prince at the moment.
The Prime Minister said calmly, "Your Highness, I think it's best to abandon this plan."
"What?" The Fourth Prince looked at him suddenly. "Prime Minister, you are not kidding, are you?"
"This prince has already discussed it with Atulu and sent the plan to all the generals. If you stop now, what do you want me to do?"
The Fourth Prince had been planning this for a long time.
Even his private army is now rapidly expanding.
Be prepared to attack the capital at any time.
All we need to do is assassinate that bastard the second one, and then we can let the barbarians take action.
The Prime Minister still shook his head and advised, "Your Highness, this is now known to everyone in the city. Do you think our plan can still succeed?"
"Believe it or not, the guy in the palace has his eyes on you."
"If we make the slightest move, we will be crushed to pieces."
Everyone in the capital knew that they were going to rebel. According to the Prime Minister, they had to stop now and wait for an opportunity.
As long as they can convince Emperor Wu that they have no intention of rebelling, that will be enough.
The Fourth Prince was quite unwilling to give up. He clenched his fists, his eyes reddened, and suddenly roared uncontrollably: "You asked me to wait for an opportunity, where is the chance?"
"Do we have to wait until the old man dies?"
"When the time comes, the second brother will ascend the throne, and all that awaits me will be a three-foot white silk and a pot of poisoned wine."
In this hall, the Fourth Prince could no longer care about so many things.
So what if someone heard it?
If Arturu had not come to tell him about the barbarian plan, the Fourth Prince would still be willing to wait for an opportunity.
At worst, we can wait until the old guy dies and then immediately gather a large army to come to the capital.
If there is a chance to capture the capital, it would be the best. Then we can declare that the Second Prince forged the imperial edict and forcibly capture the Second Prince.
Even if he failed to capture the capital, his 100,000 troops could escort him out of the capital and force the new emperor, the Second Prince, to appoint him as a vassal king.
Even though he usually has his eyes on the throne, after fighting for the throne for so long, how could he not leave a way out for himself?
But now, seeing that there is a real hope of becoming the person sitting on the throne, why would he be willing to stop suddenly when he is so close?
Moreover, the assassination attempt on the second prince has never been successful.
He didn't believe that the second prince was willing to forgive him.
The Prime Minister saw the Fourth Prince’s angry expression and knew that his mind was not clear.
He bowed helplessly and said, "Your Highness, I have tried everything I can to persuade you. Please think about it carefully."
Watching the Prime Minister's departing figure, the Fourth Prince uttered a "Pooh" sound and snorted coldly, "Old fellow, you are such a coward."
"At the slightest sign of trouble, he becomes a turtle."
......
At night, Ning Yi was hugging Yang Ziqin and sleeping peacefully.
He has needed Yang Long's help a lot recently, so naturally he has to please his wife.
Suddenly the window was pushed open and a dark shadow rushed in.
He held a shining sword in his hand and stabbed the man on the bed.
The noise startled Ning Yi, who suddenly opened his eyes and kicked the black shadow beside the bed away with a quick kick.
The black shadow groaned and stepped back.
Yang Ziqin also woke up in a daze and saw Ning Yi, who was already wearing clothes, and a dark figure holding a weapon by the wall.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock, and she screamed in panic, "Hurry, help! There's an assassin!"
Soon, the door was pushed open and several female guards rushed in.
Everyone drew their weapons and rushed towards the dark shadow by the wall.
The black shadow covered his chest, knowing that he could not escape, so he simply gritted his teeth and decided to die.
Ning Yi snorted coldly: "Drag him out."
Wait for the guards to receive orders and drag the body away.
When Ning Yi returned to the bedside, Yang Ziqin's panicked face had turned pale. She lay in his arms like a frightened kitten, "Husband, how could there be an assassin?"
"Call the guards quickly."
Ning Yi patted her back gently and comforted her: "It's okay, it's been dealt with, it's nothing serious."
He looked at the roof, not worried at all, because he already knew that this was just a trick done by the Second Prince.
The next morning, Ning Yi went straight to the palace.
Yang Ziqin was so anxious and worried that she insisted that he bring more guards. As a result, hundreds of guards, fully armored and with splendid weapons, marched towards the palace in a mighty manner.
As soon as Yang Ziqin came back, she put away her delicate look and asked someone to call all the guards who were on duty last night.
They were beaten dozens of times in public.
His fair and handsome face was covered with frost, and he said coldly: "The assassin rushed in through the window so brazenly, what are you doing?"
"Do you have to wait until both I and the prince are assassinated before you know how to save me?"
"Tonight, the guards will be doubled. If this happens again, go to the brothel yourself."
Several skilled female guards were frightened and begged for mercy.
They were all raised by the Yang family and trained as female guards who had been practicing martial arts since childhood and were specifically used to protect the female members of the Yang family.
After all, they are also servants of the Yang family. Any word from the Yang family can make them suffer for the rest of their lives.
As soon as Ning Yi arrived at the palace, he rushed directly to the imperial study with great momentum.
Now that Emperor Wu's health had just improved, he was being massaged by Concubine Xian, with a young eunuch reading memorials to him.
As soon as Ning Yi came in, he knelt down and shouted, "Father, this is terrible."
"The child was assassinated in the mansion."
The Emperor Wu frowned slightly on his slightly pale face: "Who is so bold as to assassinate you?"
Ning Yi didn't even get up, and he shouted, "Father, it was my fourth brother who assassinated me. You have to take charge of this for me."
People on the side were originally confused. Why did the Sixth Prince come here so early in the morning, shouting that he was assassinated? Who had the guts to assassinate the Sixth Prince?
When she heard him say it was the fourth brother, the virtuous concubine was suddenly shocked. Her own son assassinated him? How could it be possible?
But after thinking about it for a while, he realized that with the Fourth Prince's personality, if the Sixth Prince made him angry, he might really assassinate him.
The virtuous concubine is now terrified, fearing that the Sixth Prince may have some evidence.
Emperor Wu also heard this and became furious: "Sixth Brother, you said your fourth brother assassinated you?"
"Is there any evidence?"
"Of course there is." Ning Yi said immediately: "Father, you don't know."
"People on the street are saying that the Fourth Prince has colluded with the barbarian envoys and they are planning a rebellion together."
This had already spread outside, but it was the first time Emperor Wu heard of it.
He couldn't believe it: "Old Four is rebelling? And colluding with the barbarians?"
Ning Yi assured on the spot: "Father, just ask people to ask around on the streets."
