Sickish Prince is Scheming - C320
Shang Yiqing narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance. After some thought, she said, “I can’t thank the Qi King enough for what he has done.” However … “Even if I were to go to Duke Xuan’s Mansion and inquire more, it can’t be now!” As she spoke, she turned around with a gentle yet calm smile on her face. “At the very least, you should have let me bandage your wounds first. Besides, you should also rest well.
“Esteemed wangfei is right, what you need to do now is to rest well. You can’t do anything without physical strength! ” Ying Ying agreed and agreed with Shang Yiqing’s suggestion.
Dongfang Hao smiled again. “Of course I know to conserve my strength.”
“I think what you need to do now is to get a good night’s sleep and then talk about your visit to Duke Xuan’s manor.” Shang Yiqing knew that it was unnecessary for her to stay here, so she stood up and walked outside.
Fang Zinan really was coming back soon! Shang Yiqing could not help but smile as she thought of this. What could be more anticipated than the return of a lover? Ever since she came back from the Kingdom of Dongyu, she had been thinking about why when the two of them were together, she did not feel this way. Thinking of this, his heart began to beat wildly, and his emotions surged.
When they arrived at midnight, Dongfang Hao regained his spirit and headed for Duke Xuan’s manor. Dongfang Hao had long since known where King Xuan’s study was because he had visited the manor many times before. He quickly went to the window of his usual study to inquire about the situation. He raised his eyes to look at the sky. It was already quite late. Normally, King Xuan would wait for news at this time. There was no activity in the study. Perhaps the person he was waiting for hadn’t arrived yet.
After a while, he saw a black shadow rushing over from not too far away. Dongfang Hao hid under a tree outside the window familiarly. He waited for that person to enter the study before quietly going up and sticking to the wall to listen.
“Why did you come at such a time?” This was the voice of King Xuan.
“In reply to your highness, Prince Rong has defeated Grand Preceptor Xie. Tomorrow morning, we will return to the capital. This is the information your subordinate has just gathered.” The voice of the speaker sounded quite familiar. Of course it was Li Guo Guo.
“Prince Rong is coming back so soon? Should we make our move as soon as possible? ” Li Guo asked again.
King Xuan paused before saying, “I really didn’t think that Fang Zinan would act so quickly! It was him who forced me to do this, so it’s no wonder that I don’t remember brotherly affection! ” Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright! We will act tomorrow, and we must be caught off guard. ”
“But …” Li Guoguo hesitated, “Eunuch Li’s kung fu is high. With him around, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get him easily.”
“Eunuch Li …” King Xuan thought for a moment. “Why don’t we find someone to transfer him tomorrow?”
“Eunuch Li has been serving his majesty for a long time. Can you move him away so easily?” Last time he fell into the hands of Eunuch Li, he still had some lingering fear when thinking about it.
“You think too much. This King naturally has his ways.” After saying this, King Xuan ordered Li Guoguo, “This King knows about your loyalty to Ben Wang. After the matter is completed, Ben Wang will give you a great reward. This time, you will depend entirely on the disciples of the ‘Thousand Revolution Sect’.”
“Your subordinate is already extremely grateful to be able to work for Your Highness. I will now go back and gather all of your disciples. I am only waiting for Your Highness to give the order, and I will not refuse it!”
“Good!” This King is very happy that you can think like this. Go back to the ‘Thousand Revolution Sect’ to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting with This King. ”
Li Guo Guo responded and left. Dongfang Hao quickly hid himself.
It looked like King Xuan was about to make his move! Dongfang Hao also rushed outside when he heard this. He had to tell Shang Yiqing about this matter as soon as possible and see what she had to do.
An hour later, Dongfang Hao appeared in the Rong King’s manor.
Shang Yiqing and Ying Ying were still awake. They were both wondering if Dongfang Hao would return, because this trip was indeed much more dangerous than any previous one. Both of them had a smile on their faces when they saw Dongfang Hao’s return.
“Dongfang Hao, you’re back!” Ying Ying could no longer control himself as he stood up and said.
Dongfang Hao nodded slightly. “I’m back. Not only am I back, I also have important news to tell Princess Rongfei.”
“What is it?” Hearing Dongfang Hao’s words, Shang Yiqing realized that perhaps Dongfang Hao was talking about King Xuan’s conspiracy. Could it be that King Xuan really wanted to make a move in advance?
“King Xuan has decided to make his move tomorrow. I want to hear Princess Rong’s opinion.” Ever since Dongfang Hao received this news, he had been thinking about how Fang Zinan’s army hadn’t come back yet. Even if they knew that King Xuan was conspiring against them, just their strength alone wouldn’t be enough to accomplish much.
King Xuan made his move so quickly? Shang Yiqing was surprised. Even though she knew that the conspiracy was inevitable, but now that Fang Zinan’s army had yet to return and King Xuan had colluded with Zuo Tiancheng, there was no power in the capital that could fight him. What was she going to do to stop King Xuan?
Ying Ying also looked surprised. “Then what do we do now?” With our abilities, we won’t be able to accomplish anything. ” He looked at Shang Yiqing, who was also lost in thought.
The night was very quiet and very late. The late autumn weather was even colder.
Ying Ying stood up and closed the window. Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, everyone still had no idea what was going on. She couldn’t help but say, “If you still don’t think of it, at dawn, the emperor will arrive.”
Shang Yiqing’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She quickly stood up and asked Yingying, “What did you just say?”
“I said the sun is about to rise?” Ying Ying was at a loss.
“Not this one. I want the last one.” Shang Yiqing’s eyes flashed as she asked anxiously.
Ying Ying was puzzled by her question. She thought for a moment before replying, “I’m just saying that the emperor is about to begin his assembly.”
“Yes!” Shang Yiqing slapped her thigh happily. “I’ve thought of a way.”
“What method?” Dongfang Hao and Ying Ying asked in unison.
“Since King Xuan wants to harm the emperor, why don’t I go to the palace tomorrow and speak to His Majesty and explain everything to him. As long as I tell the emperor that King Xuan is conspiring, he’ll definitely be prepared.” Shang Yiqing revealed her thoughts. Of all the things she could think of, this was the only one. Nothing else was practical.
Ying Ying stroked her hair as she felt that there was a certain reason for Shang Yiqing to do so. In short, she had to let the emperor know of this matter sooner or later.
Dongfang Hao didn’t agree. “We have no proof at all right now. Even if Consort Rong goes before the emperor, the emperor probably won’t listen.”
“Then what do you think we should do? Are we just going to allow King Xuan into the palace? ” Shang Yiqing was excited.
“Of course I don’t mean that!” Dongfang Hao sighed, “What I’m afraid of is that the Hou Emperor won’t believe Princess Rong’s words, and he still has to alert the snake. That won’t be good.”
“But now we have no other way. We must try to do so.” Shang Yiqing understood very well that since Fang Zinan hadn’t returned yet and the Grand Preceptor was at the center of the court, she had no choice but to fight it out.
Dongfang Hao shook his head helplessly, “Princess Rao, what you said makes sense. Right now, we only have one move to take. No matter what happens when the emperor listens to your words, we have no other choice.”
