The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Dozens of assassins were sent out, but not a single one came back to report the situation. The situation was definitely very dangerous.

The Fourth Prince was completely anxious and roared, "Useless! They are all a bunch of useless!"

"This prince spent so much money to support them, but they couldn't even kill a few merchants. What's the point of having them?"

While cursing, the Fourth Prince became even more panicked.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

"Sixth Brother has arrested all the merchants and even found evidence of exchanging relief grain. Even the killers should be apprehended now. If the Emperor finds out, we'll all be finished."

There is both witness and evidence for this series of events, and the Fourth Prince cannot deny it even if he wants to.

The Prime Minister paced back and forth, and he was also uneasy in his heart. At this time, if the Fourth Prince was in trouble, he would also suffer.

Grasshoppers on the same rope, no one can escape.

The Fourth Prince was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Prime Minister, please say something. Why are you walking back and forth?"

The Prime Minister was even more annoyed by his yelling: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. Let me think about it carefully."

The fourth prince watched with eager eyes as the prime minister walked around in circles like a donkey pulling a millstone.

Finally, the Prime Minister stopped, tugged at his beard with his withered hand, and said fiercely: "It seems that we have no choice but to fight to the death."

"Should we send troops to storm into the Sixth Prince's mansion and chop him into pieces now?" the Fourth Prince asked.

He felt that this was the only way to go at the moment. Otherwise, when the daybreak came and Lao Liu took so much evidence to the palace, he would only be imprisoned.

The Prime Minister couldn't help but roll his eyes in disdain: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

"If we do this, it will either be a fight to the bitter end or a sure death."

"Then what should we do?" The Fourth Prince said with a sad face: "What are you talking about?"

The Prime Minister was now confident: "Your Highness, you should enter the palace immediately before it is completely bright."

"Go to the palace now?" The Fourth Prince was stunned. "Go to my father and cry to him, admit my mistakes, and beg for forgiveness?"

"Forget it, my real father won't care about these two tears of mine."

"It would be better for you to have this prince flee the capital now and gather his men to rebel immediately."

The Prime Minister shook his head slightly: "Of course, I will not allow Your Highness to do so now."

"Your Highness, that's all you need..."

The Prime Minister gave a detailed explanation, and the Fourth Prince's eyes changed.

"Is this reliable?"

"Haha." The Prime Minister sat down confidently and slowly picked up the hot tea that had just been changed by the servant: "Trust me, it will definitely work."

"Even if we can't do anything to the Sixth Prince, it should be enough for His Highness to get through this."

The prime minister was a shrewd and calculating man. He knew the character of the man on the throne whom he had followed for decades very well: he was insidious, cunning, moody, and even suspicious.

The Fourth Prince thought it was feasible and immediately arranged for people to prepare all the details.

......

Ning Yi obtained all the witnesses and evidence, as well as confessions from several businessmen.

With so many things, there is still great hope of killing the Fourth Prince.

Just had everyone pack up and get ready to go.

Qin Haifeng suddenly came in: "Your Highness, Eunuch Zhao has arrived with a team of imperial guards, saying he is here to announce the imperial decree."

"Eunuch Zhao?" Ning Yi frowned. "How did he know about this place and bring the Imperial Guards with him?"

Eunuch Zhao is the most trusted person around the emperor. The fact that he came in person and brought the imperial guards to announce the decree is definitely not a good thing.

Could it be that Emperor Wu already knows all this?

Ning Yi couldn't figure it out, so he ordered, "Let Eunuch Zhao come in."

Not long after, Eunuch Zhao came in with only a whisk in his hand, but without the imperial edict.

Ning Yi greeted him with a smile on his face: "Eunuch Zhao, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Is there anything important?"

Eunuch Zhao also smiled and said, "Sixth Prince, His Majesty has sent this old servant to bring you a message."

"Well, wait a moment." Ning Yi asked him to wait.

He straightened his clothes and bowed properly in the direction of the palace.

He bowed to Eunuch Zhao again and said, "I respectfully listen to your instructions, father."

This set of actions was performed last time in the prince's mansion.

Everyone in the yard still looked strange.

Especially Gao Qingshui, it was even more strange when they met for the first time. Why was it so grand for His Highness to receive an oral order?

He was more respectful than even the emperor himself.

Even though it was the second time Eunuch Zhao saw it, he still wanted to laugh.

He coughed and said slowly, "His Majesty has ordered that the Sixth Prince enter the palace immediately."

"Alright, Sixth Prince, His Majesty only has this to say."

Ning Yi bowed solemnly and said, "I obey your command. Long live the emperor."

This time, it was facing the direction of the imperial palace, making others feel that the Sixth Prince was quite respectful to the Emperor.

After all the flattery was over, Ning Yi didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

Although these actions on TV seem like child's play and useless to others, and are even flattery through the air, the emperor cannot see them.

But Ning Yi didn't think so. He believed that Eunuch Zhao or someone in the Imperial Guards would describe it to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu was a very suspicious person with a strong sense of self-esteem. He must have been satisfied when he heard others describe the Sixth Prince as being so tolerant even when listening to an oral order.

Just a few simple actions brought satisfaction to Emperor Wu, which was well worth it.

After fooling Emperor Wu, Ning Yi grabbed a few large ingots that had not been divided yet and forced them on Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao declined briefly and put it into the pocket of his wide sleeve.

"Lord Zhao, my father is calling me to the palace. What's going on?"

Ning Yi's whispered words "Lord Zhao" made Eunuch Zhao feel so relieved.

Although on the surface, calling the eunuchs "gonggong" seems to show respect to them.

In fact, everyone knows that the word "eunuch" refers to eunuchs like them.

But it’s different when Ning Yi calls him Mr. Zhao.

What kind of people can be called public?

Only people of very high status and position would be called this.

Besides, Eunuch Zhao is just a eunuch, which makes people feel at ease.

Sure enough, Eunuch Zhao's face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum, and he whispered: "Your Highness, please be careful."

"This morning, the Fourth Prince went to the palace and said a lot of bad things about His Highness to the Emperor. The Emperor looked very unhappy and was very angry."

This made Ning Yi frown.

At this time, he, the Fourth Prince, didn't rush to find a way to deal with it, but actually went to the palace to say bad things about me?

Isn’t he afraid that once this prince enters the palace, he won’t even have a chance to escape?

Even if he described the day as black, compared with his own solid evidence, his mouth would be useless.

Ning Yi couldn't figure it out, but he was full of confidence. In front of the Martial Emperor, you won't be allowed to jump around.

Smiling, he bowed, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhao. I will remember this favor."

Eunuch Zhao nodded slightly in satisfaction and said, "I will return to the palace to report first. Your Highness, please hurry up and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
