Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 121: Fence-sitters never have a good time!
Eunuch An was the first to realize something was wrong. He was about to shout, but his body suddenly lost all strength. He wanted to warn the prince, but he opened his mouth wide and couldn't make any sound. He could only dejectedly sink into the darkness.

When the prince saw Eunuch An falling down, he snorted in his heart, then showed a look of panic on his face, called out "Eunuch An", and then slowly fell down like him. After struggling for a while, he fell unwillingly on the table.

The person outside was probably afraid that the medicine would not take effect quickly, so he waited for a while before quietly pushing the door open, walking around Eunuch An who was lying by the door, and quickly walked up to the prince.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" The man nervously pushed the prince's arm, and when he found that he had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief and took off the hood of his cloak, revealing a delicate face as beautiful as a lotus in clear water. It turned out to be a young woman.

She sat down next to the Crown Prince, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Then she turned her head to look at the Crown Prince's face. After a moment's gaze, she whispered, "Your Highness, I had no choice but to do this. You blocked the Third Prince's path, and he happened to have something on me! I hope you won't blame me afterward."

After saying this, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the prince, then reached out to the prince's collar with trembling hands.

Before her hand could touch the prince, she felt a sudden pain at the back of her neck and lost consciousness.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Mo Ziyuan asked in a low voice after knocking the woman unconscious.

The prince, who had been unconscious just now, opened his eyes, sat up straight and said, "Gu Wuai, how are things going over there?"

Seeing that the Crown Prince didn't seem to be in trouble, Mo Ziyuan finally felt relieved and bowed, replying, "It's been done. He's outside the hall now."

"Go ahead and follow the plan."

"Yes." Mo Ziyuan wrapped the woman from head to toe with a cloak, tied a knot at her waist, and reached out to hold the knot and walked to the side hall.

After his figure disappeared, the prince looked back at the still sleeping emperor, then looked at Eunuch An who was slumped at the door. He lowered his head and put the left collar of his clothes in his mouth. After a while, he lost consciousness and fell on the table.

Night falls outside, and darkness is the protective color for many crimes.

When daybreak came, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and the clearest sound was the sharp voice of Concubine Feng.

"Mo Ziyuan, you are just a mere imperial guard, yet you dare to stop me? You are quite brave!" Concubine Feng narrowed her eyes and looked at Mo Ziyuan who was standing tall and blocking her way.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was attending to His Majesty. He hasn't come out yet. It's probably not appropriate for Your Highness to go in at this time." Mo Ziyuan said calmly.

"Asshole! He hasn't come out since he was sick. I suspect that the emperor has been murdered by him. As the emperor's personal guard, you are making excuses and refusing to let me in. Can I assume that you and the prince are in cahoots and have conspired to murder the emperor together?" Concubine Feng put the big hat on the prince without saying a word.

Mo Ziyuan quickly knelt on one knee and said, "I dare not!"

"Since you don't dare, get out of here! If anything happens to His Majesty, I'll have you tortured to death by slicing! Humph!" With that, Concubine Feng kicked Mo Ziyuan on the shoulder, sending him sprawling to the ground. With a snort, she strode toward the main hall, followed by several members of the royal family and their wives. Just as Concubine Feng and her men were about to reach the main hall entrance, a strange noise suddenly erupted from the side hall. First, a woman's voice, a mixture of pain and pleasure, was followed by several men's low growls of release.

Concubine Feng's eyebrows twitched, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a happy arc. Then, her expression suddenly changed to nervousness. She suddenly stopped in her tracks, tilted her ears and said in a neither-too-low-nor-low voice, "I think I heard something. Everyone, listen and see where it came from."

The commotion just now was quite loud. Everyone following her was smart and immediately understood why she had called everyone here this morning. A sense of bitterness welled up in their hearts. Perhaps after today, they were bound to be tied to the Third Prince no matter what.

At this moment, as if responding to Concubine Feng's words, the same noise came again, this time much clearer than the last time.

There was no one present who had not experienced human affairs, so they could naturally hear what the people inside were doing.

"How dare you! Who is so bold as to do such a treasonous thing in Luquan Palace! Come, pull that person out for me." Concubine Feng shouted loudly, and the guards who had been arranged in advance immediately rushed over and surrounded the gate of Luquan Palace.

"What do you want to do? This is my father's bedroom. Are you going to rebel?" The door of the hall was suddenly opened from the inside, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared in front of everyone with a pale face. Following behind him was Eunuch An, whose face was covered in water.

When the guards saw that it was the prince who opened the door, they were stunned. This was not what they had agreed on!

Concubine Feng was also shocked. She looked carefully at the prince's face and found that he was not only pale, but also revealed a fatigue that could not be concealed at all. Then she looked at his clothes, which were slightly open at the collar and wrinkled everywhere else. She immediately knew what was going on.

But the royal relatives who came with her were unsure!

One of them was particularly skilled in martial arts. Just when the prince opened the door for them, he could still hear faint movements in the side hall. What does this mean?
This means that either the prince was lucky enough to escape the disaster, or someone had already seen through Concubine Feng's "conspiracy" in advance and used the same trick against her. In his opinion, the latter possibility is more likely. He just doesn't know who the unlucky guy in the side hall is.

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. He remembered that when Grand Tutor Feng was still around, the prince had been oppressed to the point of suffocation. Not only did the Crown Princess die, but even the little grandson of the emperor was forced to leave the capital overnight and disappeared. For the sake of his family's future, he had no choice but to board Grand Tutor Feng's ship.

But since Grand Tutor Feng was killed, his faction has been leaderless. Everyone wants to be the leader, but no one has the ability of Grand Tutor Feng. As a result, the things they did were worse than the last, which allowed the prince to take a smooth path out.

Seeing Concubine Feng and the Third Prince's solemn promises today, he thought that everything was foolproof, but he didn't expect that it was all in vain again.

He felt that if he continued to cling to the Third Prince's ship, sooner or later he would be doomed to go down with the ship.

But he hadn't enjoyed his wonderful life enough! He didn't want to die so soon, nor did he want to be relegated to a humble position and live the rest of his life.

"It seems that it's time to make a decision. Those who sit on the fence will never have a good ending!" The young royal family member thought to himself.
