Sickish Prince is Scheming - C309

Within the study of Duke Xuan’s Mansion.

“Reporting to King Xuan, Prince Rong’s army has already defeated the Grand Tutor of Dongyu Country. In a few days, he will be victorious!”

When King Xuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. “You mean that Prince Rong won the battle and will be back soon?”

“Yes.”

King Xuan’s face turned white and red. He stood in a daze for a moment before saying coldly, “Go and invite Lord Zuo.”

It wasn’t long before Zuo Tiancheng appeared in the manor.

“King Xuan, what happened?” It was obvious that Zuo Tiancheng still hadn’t understood the situation of Fang Zinan’s army. He looked confused.

King Xuan sneered, “I just received news that Prince Rong’s army has defeated the enemy. They will be back soon!”

Zuo Tiancheng was stunned for a moment as he revealed a stunned expression and said, “How could this be? What do you think now, my lord?”

“I want to make my move as soon as possible!” King Xuan spat out these words word by word.

Zuo Tiancheng’s face slightly changed, “Although I have some power in the military, but in terms of military strength …”

“You don’t have to worry about the military, and Kong Youwei’s army will listen to us.” After saying this, King Xuan looked at Zuo Tiancheng and said, “Besides, we still have the disciples of the ‘Thousand Revolution Sect’. We should be absolutely safe!”

Hearing this, Zuo Tiancheng laughed and said, “Alright, since you’ve made such arrangements, this official will obey your orders!”

“Alright!” King Xuan smiled coldly, “Since Lord Zuo has no objection, let’s arrange for a move as soon as possible!”

Zuo Tiancheng stood up and said, “I’ll go back and arrange everything as soon as possible. As long as the king orders us, we’ll listen to him.”

“Sir Zuo, please!” King Xuan made a gesture of farewell.

After seeing Zuo Tiancheng leave, King Xuan stood in the study room for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, “I really didn’t expect Fang Zinan to force me to make a move so quickly. Anyone who tries to stop me from being the emperor is my enemy. I won’t spare anyone, not even my own brothers!” In King Xuan’s mind, there was nothing that could change his mind.

Zuo Tiancheng quickly left Prince Xuan’s mansion, and at this time, a person appeared from the back wall of King Xuan’s study. Zuo Tiancheng quickly left Duke Xuan’s mansion, and at this time, a person appeared from the back wall of King Xuan’s study. Thinking up to this point, Dongfang Hao didn’t stop any longer. He quickly dashed out of Duke Xuan’s Mansion.

An hour later, Dongfang Hao appeared in the Rong King’s manor.

“Dongfang Hao, you’re finally back!” Ying Ying really liked Dongfang Hao very much.

Dongfang Hao gently smiled. “Yes, I’ve returned. Now, I have something important to discuss with Princess Rong.”

Ying Ying brought him to the back garden where Shang Yiqing was busy with her plants. When she saw Dongfang Hao return, she knew something must have happened. She quickly dropped the plants in her hands and asked, “Prince Qi, what happened?”

“I’ve found out that Prince Rong and the rest have defeated the Grand Preceptor, so the teachers will be able to return to court soon!” Dongfang Hao tried his best to say it in a relaxed manner. He was afraid that if he did, Shang Yiqing would be shocked.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Thinking that Fang Zinan would be back soon, Shang Yiqing was overjoyed.

Dongfang Hao shook his head and looked at Shang Yiqing, “Things are not as simple as you think. Now that King Xuan knows about this, he’s going to rebel now!”

Shang Yiqing was surprised. Although she knew that King Xuan was plotting against them as expected, she didn’t expect it to come so soon.

“So what do we do now?” Ying Ying asked impatiently.

Dongfang Hao turned his gaze to Shang Yiqing. “I would like to hear the opinion of consort Rong.”

After thinking for a while, she said, “I think King Xuan will definitely harm the Emperor. We will tell Fang Zinan about his rebellion and tell him to bring the army back as soon as possible. Even if he does try to rebel, Fang Zinan will have troops to restrain him, and he won’t dare to act rashly.”

“I think so too. Although we don’t know what Duke Xuan is about to do, it’s still not wrong for Prince Rong’s army to rush back.” Dongfang Hao continued, “However, this matter must not be delayed. We must notify Prince Rong as soon as possible.”

“I know, I’ll inform him about it now.” As Shang Yiqing spoke, she led the two into the study.

Shang Yiqing finished writing a letter and called Manager Li in.

“General Manager Li, send someone to deliver this letter to Prince Rong. You must hand it over to him as soon as possible. Do not let anything go wrong.” Shang Yiqing passed the letter to Manager Li.

Manager Li nodded as he promised, “Please rest assured wangfei, I’ll definitely send someone to personally deliver this letter to you as soon as possible.” As he spoke, he left the study.

Shang Yiqing looked at Manager Li’s back and sighed, “I wonder when this letter will be delivered to Fang Zinan?”

“Princess, don’t worry. They’ll be arriving soon.” Dongfang Hao consoled her before turning around to look at Ying Ying. He said, “I can’t leave for too long. I have to return to Duke Xuan’s Mansion now.”

“What? Are you still going back to Duke Xuan’s Mansion?” Ying Ying was greatly shocked. At the same time, she was also unwilling to let Dongfang Hao take the risk again.

Shang Yiqing suddenly turned around and asked, “Are you planning on infiltrating Duke Xuan’s manor and asking for further information?”

Dongfang Hao nodded: “That’s exactly what I was thinking! “Now that King Xuan has decided to make a move and has yet to determine when he’ll make his move, I feel that it’s still necessary to infiltrate Duke Xuan’s manor and probe further.”

Actually, she was right about what Dongfang Hao said. However, Ying Ying really didn’t want him to take any more risks. So, she nervously looked at him, then bravely stepped forward. “Dongfang Hao, don’t go anymore.”

“Ying Ying, you also know that this matter is extremely troublesome. Since I’ve already joined, how can I give up halfway?” It was unknown if it was because of Shang Yiqing, but Dongfang Hao felt that every minute he helped would be worth it. Moreover, Fang Zinan had brought an army to help the Kingdom of Dongyu; regardless of whether it was out of selfishness or morality, he had to do it.

Ying Ying lowered her head slightly. The sunlight shined beautifully on her face. Her lips moved as she whispered, “I’m just worried about your comfort. If you really insist on doing so, how could I possibly stop you?”

“Ying Ying …” Dongfang Hao let out a long sigh and pressed both of his hands heavily on Ying Ying’s shoulders. He felt that the warmth coming from that frail shoulder caused his heart to be thrown into disarray, and his heart began to beat faster and faster.

Shang Yiqing raised her head. Seeing the deep love in their eyes, she felt that the softest part of her heart had melted. She was deeply touched and also wanted to think about Fang Zinan. Only this kind of parting would let her know that missing someone was actually such a painful thing. It could slowly gather up in her heart and then take root and germinate.

Upon catching a glimpse of Shang Yiqing’s gaze, Ying Ying felt a little embarrassed as she pulled away Dongfang Hao’s hands. “Princess Rao is watching over there. Since you want to leave, then hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I’ll go back on my word and pester you until you refuse to let me pass!”

Only then did Dongfang Hao let go of his hands and looked at Shang Yiqing in surprise, smiling without saying a word.

“You can ignore me!” Shang Yiqing smiled in embarrassment.

This caused Ying Ying to feel even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and did not say anything.

Dongfang Hao took a deep breath and turned around. “I’m going to the Duke Xuan Palace. You guys must be careful.”
