Chapter 142 The man behind the scenes
In Qinghe City, Wen Xiangzhu was not the only one who was planning.
The fourth prince Qi Puyan and Chen Muke also received news from Kyoto. Knowing that things in Kyoto were not going well, the two of them met in private.
What Wen Xiangzhu saw in the Third Prince's Mansion that day was correct. Chen Muke was moved by the Fourth Prince.
Qi Puyan, the fourth prince of Yunli Kingdom, seems to be simple-minded. He only wants to get a fiefdom, stay away from the court, and live a free and easy life outside.
Unfortunately, he didn't think so in his heart.
Although he is also a prince, his status is not as noble as that of the crown prince. He does not have the favor of the third prince, nor the attention and disgust of the fifth prince. He is like a transparent person.
He wants to get attention, but because of family constraints, he cannot cause trouble, and he cannot lose the emperor's favor. He can only be the fourth prince in this cold palace, who seems to exist but actually has no sense of existence.
How could Qi Puyan be willing to accept this?
He thought he was not stupid and had never caused any major disaster, but he could never get the attention of Emperor Jing'an, and even his own mother could not get the attention of him.
After so many years, he has also seen clearly that only when he sits on the lofty dragon throne and reaches the pinnacle of power, those who ignored him will take him to heart.
I can hear what he says, see him as a person, and even care about his life or death, and everything about him.
Qi Puyan knew in his heart that if he wanted to succeed to the throne, it would definitely be the biggest joke in the world.
So, just let them fight it out and make it a life-and-death struggle.
Tonight is a good time to go back and watch the show, and Qi Puyan had already sent a message to Chen Muke to meet.
While Wen Xiangzhu and Zhao Ji were chatting privately, the two of them were also plotting.
Chen Muke changed into casual clothes and shaved his face. He looked a few years younger. He didn't look like a strategist, but more like an ignorant young man.
"Your Highness, what do you want from me?"
"It's time to go back. I will go back tonight. Don't worry about Ye Hanshan."
"He won't amount to anything, so don't worry about him. But Your Highness, are you rushing back tonight to watch the show? The intelligence says that he will die in about seven days. By then, when the palace is in chaos, it won't be too late to go back."
"I can't wait that long. I'll leave this place to Ye Hanshan. If he wants to go back, just kill him. Don't disturb Qi Rui."
"Yes."
Chen Muke lowered his head and stopped trying to persuade her.
The two men packed up and rode out, but were seen halfway by Zhao Ji and Ling Feng who were also returning to Beijing.
It just so happened that Lingfeng needed to go to the bathroom, so the two of them hid their horses in the grass, and the two teams did not run into each other.
After they left, Ling Feng put his clothes in order and said, "I'll go back and report to the Master. Zhao Ji, you go first."
Zhao Ji nodded, then rode his horse and followed from a distance, following only the traces of the horse on the ground.
Not long after they left, Lingfeng was about to return to find Wen Xiangzhu, so he told him about their affairs.
Wen Xiangzhu burned the calligraphy he had just practiced, took the original and the copybook, and said, "Let's go."
He could never let them go back.
Qi Puyan and Chen Muke are not allowed to go back alive.
During this period, Wen Xiangzhu secretly observed for a long time and found out that the person behind Chen Muke was Qi Puyan.
Qi Puyan, who wanted to cause some trouble for the first time because he wanted to get attention, focused his attention on the Wen family.
Taking advantage of the profit-obsessed Cheng Boyi, he stabbed Wen Xiangzhu's father in the back and killed his entire family. Linyue City changed its owner overnight and the whole house was filled with blood.
There were eyewitnesses back then, and Cheng Boyi's actions were not perfect. People who were friendly with the Wen family reported the incident, but they were all stopped.
Nothing came of it, and the matter was left unresolved.
Through secret correspondence with Qi Binwei, he also got to know the Fourth Prince Qi Puyan a little. When he learned the truth, he wanted to kill him with a knife immediately.
But his life does not belong to him, but to the entire Wen family.
He could not die if he could live. He had to watch his enemies die one by one in front of him. Killing Qi Puyan would be a small matter, but he himself would not be able to survive.
Cheng Boyi, who was far away in Linyue City, was still alive, so how could he die first?
Thinking of all the things he had investigated during this period, Wen Xiangzhu's heart ached. He sped up his horse, determined to catch up with the person in front.
No matter how cold the wind was, he would rush forward with all his might.
……
Early in the morning, Shen Jiayu woke up from the stone. She had a dream. In the dream, Wen Xiangzhu was riding a horse in the dark, slowly coming towards her.
She asked Wen Xiangzhu what he was going to do, but Wen Xiangzhu remained silent and looked at her calmly without smiling or being annoyed.
The feeling of uneasiness forced Shen Jiayu to wake up.
She packed up casually and wanted to go to the city to see if there was any news, but a group of people came from the deep mountains, breaking the tranquility here.
They didn't even look at Shen Jiayu who was avoiding their gaze, but shouted loudly towards Chao Yan's hut.
"Concubine! His Highness has ordered us to take you back. Please come with us!"
They said please.
In fact, he didn't have the slightest intention of inviting Chao Yan to go back. It looked more like he was here to pick someone up.
No matter what Chaoyan thought, Shen Jiayu was a little horrified.
She went in and out of this deep mountain, but never saw any trace other than the three of them. However, these people came directly to Chao Yan's door as if they were familiar with the place.
This means that they already knew Chao Yan was here, and her return was probably reported to Qi Binwei a long time ago.
Shen Jiayu couldn't help but sigh, what a Qi Binwei, not only was he very scheming, but even the people he found were all very skilled in martial arts, and she didn't even notice any of them.
Fortunately, the system only made her the most powerful secret guard beside Wen Xiangzhu, instead of making her the best in the world, otherwise she might as well have died earlier.
Chao Yan pushed open the door with joy, and glanced around, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see. Her sparkling pink eyes dimmed instantly.
"Why doesn't he come?" Chao Yan asked indifferently.
She knew all these people, they were all people around Qi Binwei, but none of them was Qi Binwei.
The leader stepped forward and explained, "Please forgive me, Concubine Chao. Your Highness is busy and the palace is not peaceful right now. Your Highness needs to stay with the emperor. I can't see you for a while. It's almost autumn. If you stay here all the time, the cold weather may hurt your body. You should go back with us."
Chaoyan didn't say anything. Nukhadir, who had heard the noise and came out from the other side, protected Chaoyan behind him.
He slowly looked at Shen Jiayu beside him and signaled her to come over.
Shen Jiayu raised his eyebrows. Nukhadir was an easy person to get along with. As long as the person would not hurt Chao Yan, he would quickly accept the other person.
Now, as long as Chaoyan said something that showed any dissatisfaction, Nukhadir would rush out and drive this group of people away.
However, Chao Yan said one word.
"it is good."
