Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 273: Forbearance and the Waiting One Behind

After reading the letter from the Eighth Lady, the Ninth Prince could not help but slam the table, "What a good old Fourteenth Prince is! The Eighth Prince has always been kind to him, but I didn't expect that he would end up raising a tiger to cause trouble!"

The Tenth Prince was not surprised by this result. He picked up the letter that was thrown to the ground by the Ninth Prince and began to read it. After all, the Eighth Lady followed the Eighth Prince's idea. Although she told the Ninth Prince that some of it was written by the Fourteenth Prince, she also stated the reason why the Eighth Prince would not pursue it.

"Eighth brother is right to worry. In the current situation, if we don't want to be killed by Fourth Prince, the only way is to support Fourteenth Prince." Tenth Prince assessed the situation in front of him and couldn't help but be amazed by Fourteenth Prince's quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness.

The Ninth Prince raised his head and said proudly, "Does the Ninth Prince really want to bow down to a young boy?"

The Tenth Prince was helpless, "Then Ninth Brother, do you think you can support this business or I can support it?" The Ninth Prince is greedy for money and the Tenth Prince is straightforward. This is a common understanding among the government and the public. Even if they want to take over, the Eighth Prince's party will not recognize it!

Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let Fourteenth get away with it so easily!"

The Tenth Prince was equally unconvinced, but he didn't show it just to appease the Ninth Prince. "The situation is beyond our control! Ninth Brother, I gave birth to six sons, four of whom died, leaving two young ones. The oldest is just ten years old, and the youngest is only seven. We are no longer alone."

If it weren't for that large group of people behind him, the Tenth Prince would definitely follow the Ninth Prince and vent the Eighth Prince's anger in any way he wanted.

The Ninth Prince wanted to scold the Tenth Prince for being a coward, but when he thought of the two pregnant women in the mansion, he remained silent.

The tenth prince said dejectedly, "We grew up with mynah brother. Although mynah brother is gentle, he has the arrogance of the descendants of Aixinjuelu in his bones. Mynah brother can't do anything about it, so what can we do?"

The Ninth Prince has many children in his family, and the Tenth Prince has two sons and three daughters, but the Eighth Prince has only one boy and one girl. The Eighth Prince is not a man who ignores his children, so he has no choice but to give in.

"Anyway, I will follow Eighth Brother." The Ninth Prince said firmly. Even if Eighth Brother is no longer the core of the Eighth Prince's party, the Ninth Prince will only listen to the Eighth Prince.

The Tenth Prince knew that he could not change the Ninth Prince's mind, "I will listen to Ninth Prince. No matter how cunning Fourteenth Prince is, he can't risk the world's disapproval and bear the reputation of being ungrateful and do harm to Eighth Prince."

The Ninth Prince said disdainfully, "With the two of us here, how dare he?"

The words of the Tenth Prince aroused the fighting spirit of the Ninth Prince. What if the Fourteenth Prince feared the influence of the Eighth Prince after he came to power and wanted to get rid of him? Only if the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince still occupied an indispensable position could the Eighth Prince be saved.

The Ninth Prince said anxiously, "I originally thought that Fourteenth Prince and Fourth Prince were different. Now it seems that these two are indeed brothers from the same father and mother. Their backstabbing methods are exactly the same. No, Tenth Prince, we can't withdraw. If Fourteenth Prince has bad intentions towards Eighth Prince, we have to deal with the two of us first."

The tenth prince smiled innocently, "I will listen to the ninth brother."

This made the Ninth Prince hesitate, "Tenth Prince, why don't you withdraw? If anything happens, you can stay out of the matter to protect Eighth Brother and my family's bloodline." The Tenth Prince has the Nianhulu family behind him. No matter who comes to power, as long as the Tenth Prince behaves himself, nothing will happen.

The Tenth Prince, who always appeared rough on the outside but was actually delicate on the inside, just said sullenly, "I just follow Ninth Brother. Wherever Ninth Brother goes, I'll go there." This was the case when they assisted the Eighth Prince, and it is naturally the same now.

In Kangxi's tent.

Liang Jiugong walked into the tent with light footsteps and reported to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, Prince Dun sent a letter to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. Not long after, the Eighth Lady's confidant also sent a letter to the Ninth Prince."

Kangxi sneered and said mockingly, "Look, these are my sons. I don't know what benefits the sinner Yinsi promised to the ninth and tenth princes that made the two princes so eager to be his filial sons and grandsons." This was almost like saying that the ninth and tenth princes only cared about the eighth prince and had no regard for Kangxi, their emperor and father.

Without needing Liang Jiugong's answer, Kangxi directly talked about another matter, "Did the spy also pass on the news?"

The spy Kangxi mentioned was the Fourteenth Prince's man. Since the Fourteenth Prince dared to plot from a distance, he must have ears and eyes monitoring the situation at all times.

Kangxi was just old, not confused. As soon as the two half-dead eagles appeared, he knew that the Eighth Prince had been plotted against, but so what? Kangxi's dissatisfaction with the Eighth Prince had been going on for a long time.

Just like what he said about the Eighth Prince, Kangxi even released the deposed prince again in order to balance the Eighth Prince's power, but the Eighth Prince still did not reflect on himself, but became more arrogant. How could Kangxi not be angry?

Therefore, when he found out that something was wrong in the cage, Kangxi took advantage of the situation and kicked the Eighth Prince out completely. But at the same time, Kangxi's anger was not false, and he was also full of anger towards the mastermind who cursed himself in order to plot against the Eighth Prince.

Perhaps because he was too confident, the Fourteenth Prince did not cover his tracks too well, and Liang Jiugong easily found the person who tipped off the enemy. In order not to alert the enemy, Kangxi did not arrest the person directly.

Although he had guessed it long ago, Kangxi still couldn't help feeling sad. He even suspected the Fourth Prince first before checking the Fourteenth Prince.

"Back then, I was furious and picked up a knife, but it was Fourteen who desperately stopped me and pleaded for his brother. How come he has become like this now? Is power really that important? He doesn't even care about brotherhood."

But Kangxi was the least qualified to say this. Who valued power the most? He even deposed his favorite prince for the sake of power. Moreover, Kangxi clearly saw the flaw in the eagle killing incident, but didn't he still take the opportunity to depose the eighth prince? Now he is blaming his sons for fighting for power and disregarding blood ties. How ridiculous.

Liang Jiugong asked Kangxi, "Your Majesty, the news has been leaked. Should we deal with the spy?"

Kangxi waved his hand, "Dealing with the spy means telling that evil creature Fourteen that I know the truth, right?"

The situation in the northwest is unstable now. Although Nian Gengyao is needed, Kangxi is not unaware of his investments everywhere. With such despicable behavior, the Fourteenth Prince is really needed to act as a stabilizer.

But Kangxi was fed up with these restless sons, so he ordered, "Let Concubine Xuanshu and the Seventeenth Son come."

Shu Fei, despite her reputation as the descendant of a traitor, was the most well-behaved and obedient. The seventeenth prince Yinli was both talented in civil and military affairs but the most indifferent and clear-minded. The mother and son were sensible and in line with Kangxi's wishes, so in recent years, Shu Fei and her son's favor became increasingly strong.
