Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?
Chapter 387: Falling out
"You said that these people from North City have fallen out with the Third Prince. Can the things that were previously spread still come true?"
"I think it's uncertain. The mayor of North City has disappeared. If something happens to them here, the people of North City would be fools to form an alliance with our Northern Frontier."
"Well, now the emperor will be even more eager..."
"Shh, stop talking and just watch the show. These things are not something we ordinary people can control."
The discussions around continued, and the Third Prince's smiling face became embarrassed because of what everyone said.
"Let go! Don't think you can treat me like this just because I invited you to the capital. Your master's disappearance has nothing to do with us. Instead of looking for him, you're making a scene here. It seems like you really think we in the Northern Frontier are soft persimmons."
Uncle Li's face turned red with anger because of his sudden change of expression, and even Li Yi let go of Uncle Li's hand.
"Alright, since the Third Prince said so, we won't bother you any more. But you should be prepared to accept the Leng family's revenge. Uncle Li, let's go. I don't believe that the master and his men are really in trouble. Since the people of Northern Frontier are so despicable, there's no point in us staying."
Uncle Li and the others left decisively, and did not forget to spit at the Third Prince and the others when they passed by them.
They made such a big noise here that even the Second Prince's Mansion and several other princes' mansions far away got the news.
When the Second Prince, who was awakened from his sleep, heard the news, his expression changed.
"Disappeared suddenly?" Why did he not believe it?
"Your Highness, I heard that someone broke into the inn and messed up their room. I guess they were too conspicuous and provoked retaliation."
The Second Prince was silent for a moment, then gathered his cloak and asked, "What did the Third Prince and the others say?"
"What can I say? I heard there was a fight with the people from North City. They left the city overnight, and before they left, they left behind some harsh words saying they were going to take revenge on them."
The Second Prince stroked his fat double chin and pinched the soft flesh of his double chin again and again.
"Have the fourth brother and his team also received the news?"
"Your Highness, when I went there, I saw several of your housekeepers there. I believe the news should have been passed back by now."
Seeing that he was silent, the butler added, "Your Highness, please ask a few other princes to come over."
The Second Prince waved his hand, beckoning the butler to come forward and whispered something in his ear.
"Yes, my Lord, I will do it right away."
The other princely palaces, except for the Sixth Prince, all sent a lot of people out of the city like the Second Prince.
Only when I saw Uncle Li and his men searching everywhere outside the city did I truly believe that Li Tianze and the others were missing.
The news was once again passed back to the various royal palaces.
The princes' thoughts were changing again and again.
When daybreak came and before he could make a decision, the Sixth Prince came to visit.
He first went to the Fifth Prince's mansion and saw that the courtyard was already busy. He knew that they also knew the news from last night.
"Fifth brother, you won't listen to what happened last night. Don't you think this is the best time for Second Brother? The emperor and those people have fallen out, and he must be in a mess right now. Third brother also had a conflict with their people. It's probably difficult to make amends."
The fifth brother knew very well that it would be beneficial for them if they broke up, but he knew the character of the second brother. Even so, he would probably still be hesitant!
"Sixth Brother, let's not talk about this for now. Tell me the truth, is this matter related to you?"
Lao Wu thought about it and realized that they were discussing this matter together yesterday, and the two men were attacked last night. It seemed too much of a coincidence no matter how you looked at it.
Such coincidences do exist, but they are somewhat far-fetched in the capital.
Although the two of them were ostentatious, they had never had conflicts with anyone, not to mention that those two were people the emperor valued.
I believe no one would really dare to take such a big risk to conflict with them.
If you really want to say whose interests they have harmed.
It seems that there is no one else except them.
He knew his second brother's character and knew he would never do such a thing.
As for the fourth brother, he just followed the crowd.
Then this matter can only be blamed on Lao Liu.
The Sixth Prince hadn't expected him to ask so bluntly. He straightened his clothes and said sternly, "Since Fifth Brother has guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Yes, it was me who did it. I just can't stand the way my brother treated them. We're obviously his brothers, but after all this time, he hasn't even given us a piece of land, but gave those two such a huge Liaodong. Tell me the truth, Fifth Brother, don't you have any objections at all?"
A subtle change appeared on the Fifth Prince's thin face.
How could there not be one? But what could they do? Their good royal brother seemed unwilling to be separated from them, but in fact, wasn't he afraid that they would pose a threat to him if they left the capital?
"Sixth Brother, tell me the truth, are they missing or..."
The Sixth Prince could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and whispered in the Fifth Prince's ear, "Break to pieces."
The Fifth Prince was shocked, his eyes widening, "Are you serious?"
"My people saw them tumbling down the cliff with their own eyes. How could it be false? Don't worry, Fifth Brother. This time, even if our good brother wants to keep things quiet, it will be impossible. The people in the North City can't find them, so they will probably send a message back. Then..."
After hearing his words, the Fifth Prince was shocked. He used to think that the Sixth Prince was cunning, but today he discovered that he was cunning and scheming!
"If my second brother really takes that position, what do you want?" The Fifth Prince asked the question in his mind.
Logically, they are all princes. Although the sixth prince lost his mother in his early years, his eldest brother treated him well.
To be honest, if it were them, if the Sixth Prince's mother did something like that, they really wouldn't be able to treat him the same way as everyone else.
But His Majesty did it.
"I don't want anything. I just don't want him to sit in that high position. Fifth brother, you know that although my mother didn't die because of the Queen Mother, she was there for her own reasons. Now the Chen family has no one left except me. Even if I wanted to do anything to him, I couldn't. I just hope that when Second Brother takes that position, he can treat me like he does now, and I'll be satisfied."
The Sixth Prince's words were sincere and heartfelt, and no one could hear anything wrong with them.
The Fifth Prince looked at him again and again, but could not see any abnormality on his face. "Since Sixth Brother is so frank, I will also tell you the truth. If Second Brother really takes that position, it will definitely not affect you in any way."
The Sixth Prince seemed to be suddenly relieved, "Fifth Brother, I believe you. Then we should..."
