New book is open: "Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Consort", welcoming new and old friends to follow.
Before transmigration, Lin Mengyao was a leftover woman ...
Thirteen gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty should have thought of this a long time ago..."
The Fourth Prince pondered for a moment, then turned around and decisively said, "We must cut off the Fourteenth Prince's escape route before he takes action, otherwise, if he escapes, the consequences will be dire! But right now, he must be one of my trusted confidants, and we must keep it a secret from others. After all, the Fourteenth Prince is still a prince, the son of the late Emperor!"
Li Wei knew that anyone who did this would be subject to gossip, so he prepared to volunteer. Unexpectedly, Thirteenth Brother stepped forward a second before Li Wei, sincerely saying, "Your Majesty! Your subject is willing to go and intercept Fourteenth Brother..."
"No! You can't go. You've just recovered from your illness! I'm afraid you'll be in danger!" Fourth Master waved his hand and refused Thirteen's request without thinking.
Li Wei also stepped forward, firmly disagreeing: "Thirteenth Prince, His Majesty is right. After all, the Fourteenth Prince hasn't taken any concrete action yet. It's not right for you to lead troops to arrest him now. Besides, your status is different; you'll be branded in the court as a ruthless murderer of your own brother!" Fourth Prince nodded; what Li Wei said was exactly what he was worried about.
“Your Majesty, let me go instead…” Li Wei turned to the Fourth Prince and said firmly.
Thirteenth Master reached out to stop Li Wei, saying impatiently, "I told you you guys are always so hesitant. I'm not worried, so why are you all worried?" He then turned to face Li Wei and said, "You're asking me to lead the troops? Can you take down Fourteenth Master?"
Li Wei lowered his head guiltily.
The Thirteenth Prince then walked up to the Fourth Prince, took a deep breath, and slowly persuaded him, "Brother, I know you mean well, but it's only legitimate for me to go. I'm going to arrest this unfilial son for Father Emperor; what right do others have to object?"
Fourth Master thought for a moment, but still disagreed: "Thirteenth Brother, I can't let you take such a risk..."
The Thirteenth Prince looked up and sighed helplessly, "Brother, don't hesitate anymore, I can definitely handle this! Just agree to let me lead the troops... If we keep dragging this out, the Fourteenth Prince will have already run away!"
After much deliberation, the Fourth Prince realized that only the Thirteenth Prince was truly trustworthy and capable of handling the matter. Reluctantly, he had no choice but to agree to the Thirteenth Prince's request.
After receiving the Fourth Prince's approval, the Thirteenth Prince, full of fighting spirit and confidence, clasped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations and vow to protect Your Majesty and the Great Qing with my life!"
The Fourth Prince helped the Thirteenth Prince up with heartache, deeply moved, and said, "I don't want you to be in danger. Don't talk about dying or anything, only by living can you properly help me protect the Qing Dynasty."
The Thirteenth Prince chuckled sheepishly and nodded, saying, "You're right, Your Majesty! Don't worry, I'll definitely intercept him!"
After speaking, Fourth Master turned around and instructed Su Peisheng to take out a map of the area surrounding the capital. He and Thirteenth Master Li Wei walked to the map and carefully analyzed the geographical location of Fourteenth Master and the tactical plan.
Fourth Master pointed to a spot on the map and said to Thirteenth Master with a serious expression, "This is a route that Fourteenth Master might take around this time..."
After walking around the map, Thirteen said with a troubled expression, "Your Majesty's analysis makes a lot of sense. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it's a mountain road. Even if I lead troops there now, I have no way to guarantee that I can stop Fourteen's army."
Li Wei stood aside, lost in thought.
