Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 496 Chen Zheng (Part )

Unexpectedly, the Third Prince burst into tears, cursing as he cried, howling at the top of his voice: "Situ Qi! You traitor! You rebel!

"You murdered my grandfather and elder brother, and you dare to murder my father and second brother!

"You are a beast who has no king or father and who murders your own blood relatives. You should be cut into pieces, fried in oil, burned in fire, and have your tongue pulled out in the eighteen levels of hell!

"Wuwuwu, Father! Big brother, second brother!

"Uncle Dun, I want my father! I want my father!"

The third prince is still a child after all.

When he heard that his grandfather, father, and elder and second brothers were all in danger, he was so heartbroken and frightened that he could not sit still. He slid off his chair, sat on the ground, and burst into tears!

All the ministers were infected by his tragic crying and their eyes turned red. Looking at Prince Yu, they felt that he was a rat-like and hideous person, not like a human being at all!

Prince Dun was so upset by the Third Prince's crying that he had no choice but to go back to the bed, hold the child, and cry himself:

"Good boy, don't cry! Don't cry!

"Your father brought elite troops with him, as well as various kinds of good medicine!

“Besides, your father has always been a man of great military and political wisdom. When he heard that your grandfather and the crown prince were in danger, he naturally made adequate preparations.

"Think about it, he could even plan ahead for the southeast and southwest thousands of miles away, so how could he ignore his own safety?"

After all, he was just a child. The Third Prince felt that this made sense. His crying slowed down and he asked with sobs, "Really? Uncle Wang didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Prince Dun breathed a sigh of relief, hugged him tightly, and whispered, "Before your father left, he gave the imperial gold medal to your aunt Zhaoqing.

"If he had left the capital in a hurry on a whim, without any proper arrangements, how could he trust such an important thing to a woman of another surname?"

The Third Prince wiped away his tears, sniffed, calmed himself down and thought about it, then asked in a low voice:

"So, Father, this is a strategy of arrogant soldiers?"

Prince Dun nodded vigorously.

Well, of course, he didn't know either.

But, at such a critical moment, you can’t even control a naughty child, right?

Then what is the use of him being the regent?

As for the uncle and nephew whispering to each other, Prince Yu thought that they were just crying and comforting each other because they were at their wits' end.

But in the eyes of the ministers, Prince Dun was able to suppress the Third Prince who was about to make a scene with just two or three words, which meant that His Majesty might not really be tricked by Prince Yu!

The three or five people who were about to move took their steps back.

This scene was seen clearly by Zhai Daogong who was standing a little further back.

The middle-aged man lowered his neck a little more.

Well, as the eunuch just told me, as long as I keep my life and wait for His Majesty to come back, and report everything I saw, it will be a great achievement!

As for whether the young eunuch could sneak out and enter the harem, that was not something a mere doctor like him could worry about.

"Prince Yu, you are a little funny." Cao Feng finally couldn't help it, he took a step forward and stood beside Master Zhitong who was clasping his hands and sighing.

With a fake curiosity on his face, he tilted his head and stared at the arrogant Prince Yu, "Don't you know exactly what kind of person the current emperor is?

“If you didn’t regard him as your lifelong rival, you wouldn’t have thought of reaching out to his backyard when he wasn’t even the crown prince yet.

"I certainly wouldn't go all the way to Fujian and pretend to be a pirate.

"Even when the Queen Mother bestowed upon you the honorary title of Princess, you hastily took advantage of it and ruined the reputation of Her Majesty!

“You don’t even dare to confront him head-on in the court!

"You only have the courage to fight piecemeal outside, using these devilish means, even a woman in the backyard is more upright than you!

"Why would you kill the emperor on his way back?

"Do you think His Majesty is a fool like you who only cares about the beginning and not the end?

"The Crown Prince and His Majesty were attacked, and His Majesty left the capital with not only the Imperial Seal, but also the Tiger Tally! Doesn't he know how to mobilize troops?

"Do you really think that the three stupid governors of Chang'an, Ping'an and Yongxing can resist the tens of thousands of troops in five camps in the north of the capital?

"Prince Yu, with your brain, you want to fight for the world?!"

Prince Yu was so choked by these words that he rolled his eyes.

Everyone looked at Cao Feng and silently moved back three inches.

As expected, the Cao family has a tradition of swearing.

What the King of the East said is true!

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the King of the East, only to see him resting with his eyes closed. He was actually - sleeping while standing! ?

The message conveyed in Cao Feng's words, as well as the King of the East's calm state, gave reassurance to everyone standing behind them.

Suddenly, several more people around Prince Yu and Prince Zhongshun began to look at him with flickering eyes, bit their lips, frowned, and subconsciously moved their toes slightly.

If Emperor Zhaoming really had prepared a trap for them to dig into...

"Ha! Cao Feng, you are a civil servant, you are only responsible for managing the account books and the roster! You can mobilize tens of thousands of troops in a hurry, why are you bragging here?

“Don’t forget it!” Prince Yu narrowed his eyes, looked at Cao Feng fiercely, and said word by word, “The emperor and his father are not on good terms!

"The military power of the world has always been in the hands of the Supreme! It has never been truly given to your little emperor!

"The Crown Prince is dead, and the Supreme Emperor has already vomited blood and fainted! Where does your little emperor get the face and power to mobilize those five camps!?"

The Supreme Lord and Emperor Zhaoming are suspicious of each other!

This is something that everyone in the world knows!

No one expected that Prince Yu would even take this into account!

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Cao Feng's eyes widened, his brows twitched slightly, but he immediately raised his eyebrows high again, smiling: "Yes, what Prince Yu said is very true."

Everyone was stunned again.

Forehead? !

What does this mean?!

"You must think so! You must always think so! Hahaha!" Cao Feng put one hand into his sleeve, put it behind his back, and trembled quietly.

With his other hand, he raised his index finger, twisted his beard gently, and laughed loudly towards the sky!

This confident look once again reassured people's hearts.

But the King of East who was standing behind him, caught a glimpse of the boy's trembling sleeves through his squinting eyes, and while he felt amused, he also felt a sense of admiration!

What a courage!

At this moment, there was a commotion in the back hall!

A young eunuch came rolling in, crawling, with his hat lost, his clothes torn, one boot half lost, and his face covered in blood!

Without stopping for a moment, the little eunuch rolled directly in front of the Third Prince, raised his scarred hands, and shouted loudly:

"Princess Zhaoqing of Shoukang Palace has been granted a gold medal by the Emperor to be presented to His Royal Highness the Third Prince!

"Princess Zhaoqing ordered this servant to report to His Highness the Third Prince:

"General Feng is fine!

"The traitor was killed on the spot by Prince Zhongshun, Situ Ang!

"The eunuch Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, led the enemy into the palace and was surrounded and killed by General Feng in the city wall outside Xuanzheng Gate!

"The Taiji Palace sent a message: All the rebels who attempted to kidnap the Concubine have been killed!

"As for the spies hiding in the inner palace, they have all been arrested by the guards of each palace and executed on the spot!

"Except for the Hanyuan Palace, all the rebels in the two palaces have been eliminated!"

A series of news made everyone dizzy!

"That's great!" Prince Dun was overjoyed and blurted out!

The eunuch raised his face and grinned. His two missing front teeth made him look very funny. “There is another piece of news.”

The Third Prince looked at him, smiled in surprise, and excitedly reached out to take the gold medal: "Thank you Changqing!

"What other good news?!"
