Chapter 82 The Second Prince's Ambition

The man in black frowned slightly when he saw Su Qian's hurried look.

Then he realized that something must have happened!

After finding the government office here, he used the token in his hand to have someone lead a horse out, and he also galloped towards Su Qian.

At this moment in Dongli Capital, Dongfang Yi was still sending people to investigate the incident in which he almost got into danger while going out to sea.

"Your Highness, I have found out that the deputy commander who pushed you to go to sea had met with one of the Second Prince's staff before he went to sea. After that, his family bought a lot of houses and land."

The person who came to report was another secret guard, who was asked by Dongfang Yi's mother to protect him from the monarch of Dongli State.

"The Second Prince? How is that possible? Hasn't he always been a peaceful person?"

Dongfang Yi frowned.

The second prince was born in the cold palace, and his mother was just a maid in the cold palace.

That year, Dongfang Yi's mother and his father were in a bad mood and asked to be sent to the cold palace. In order to appease his beloved, his father drank some wine to build up his courage.

Unexpectedly, the wine was tampered with, and as his mother avoided him, he favored a palace maid while his consciousness was hazy.

Afterwards, the palace maid became pregnant and gave birth to the second prince.

Originally, his father did not want to acknowledge this son, and even killed his mother and concubines.

Later, Dongfang Yi's mother was kind enough to allow him to enter the royal family tree, ranking second and being called the Second Prince.

Over the years, the Second Prince knew that he was of humble origin, and his emperor had long since stated that he was his preferred heir, so the Second Prince had always devoted himself to the mountains and rivers and never got involved in court affairs.

Did he do this?

Dong Fangyi didn't quite believe it. After all, the Second Prince had looked harmless for so many years.

"Your Highness, I have found out that the Second Prince is not as indifferent to worldly affairs as he appears to be!"

The secret guard continued to report, "I have found out that the matter of the Su family's general may also be related to the second prince!"

"What? How is that possible?"

Dong Fangyi was shocked again, "Is there any solid evidence?"

"I have found some clues. Please give me some more time, Your Highness. I will be able to investigate it thoroughly!"

The secret guard bowed to Dongfang Yi and said, "Then I will go down first!"

Dongfang Yi frowned slightly, waved his hand and asked the secret guard to retreat.

Under the rockery in the Second Prince's Mansion, there is a dungeon, dark and quiet.

At this moment, a thin young man wearing a white robe with auspicious clouds and a purple cloud crown was leisurely holding a white porcelain teacup.

After taking a sip, he looked across the fence.

In the cell opposite, there sat a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and covered in blood.

"General Su, have you considered this? If you agree to my request, I will clear your name and reinstate you to your post, with great power in your hands!"

He had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was having a leisurely chat with someone over tea.

If the place he was in looked like a dungeon, others would have thought he was playing chess and drinking tea with his friends.

"Bah! I never thought you would have such evil intentions!"

Su Wusheng, with disheveled hair, raised his face, with a look of contempt on his blood-stained face, and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva toward the east outside the fence.

Dongfang Qi, whose original name was Dongfang Qi, had his name given by his father at random. However, it was only after his repeated requests that the name was changed to Qi.

The word "abandon" means that he will never be able to obtain the throne in this life.

But the word “啓” is different. “啓” means to open, create and develop.

After changing his name, Dongfang Yi began to pursue his ambition to seize the throne.

Dongfang Qi smiled and said, "General Su, don't be angry. Just stay here for a few more days. I have already invited your wife, children and siblings. They will arrive soon! The general will think it through by then!"

"You despicable villain! How dare you use my family to threaten me? It's simply shameless. If the Dongli Kingdom falls into the hands of people like you, it will be a disaster!"

Upon hearing that his family was captured by him, Su Wusheng couldn't help but curse.

"General Su, don't worry. Your Su clan members are also under my control. If you don't agree in ten days, I will have them killed!"

At this moment, Dongfang Qi was using the softest tone to say the harshest words, "If the general still doesn't agree..."

"So what did you do? You killed my family and siblings?"

Su Wusheng frowned and looked cold, asking the other party coldly.

"No, no, no, if we kill them, you will definitely not agree! I value talent and don't want to miss out on such a talented person as the general! If the general doesn't agree, I will marry your eldest daughter and let you become my pillar of support!"

Dongfangqi continued calmly, "When the wedding comes, I want the entire Dongli capital to witness it! Let them know that we are all in the same boat!"

"Despicable! My Ah Qian has already been engaged to the Third Prince, how can she marry you?"

Su Wusheng yelled at him angrily, "You are ignoring morality and ethics, brother snatching brother's wife!"

Dongfang Qi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his voice was filled with sadness and desire for power.

When he lowered his head to face Dong Fang Sheng again, his eyes were already red. He was no longer as calm as before, as if he was possessed by a demon.

"Why does he get everything? Why?"

Dongfang Qi's eyes were filled with coldness. "Why? We are both sons of the emperor. My mother was executed when I was born, and I became the most lowly person in the entire palace. But he enjoys all the love of the emperor! Including the future throne, which was said to be reserved for him! Why?"

At this moment, Dongfang Qi's eyes were fierce and he looked unwilling. "Why are you, General Su, willing to support him and marry your eldest daughter to him? He is nothing but a mediocre person! A fool spoiled by my father and the imperial concubine, a brainless idiot!"

"The Third Prince is indeed not as scheming as Your Highness, but he is still kind-hearted!"

Seeing him so crazy, Su Wusheng calmed down. He said to Dongfangqi calmly, "As the saying goes, a mother's status is determined by her son, and a son's status is determined by his mother. Your highness's birth means that you have no chance of becoming the emperor of Dongli Kingdom in this life. Why bother?"

"Holding on? Haha!"

Dongfang Qi continued to laugh loudly, "I tell you, I will definitely take over this kingdom! If you are willing to assist me, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. If not, after I ascend the throne, it will be the day of reckoning!"

His eyes were filled with determination, "Your Highness, I'd better advise General Su to cooperate! Otherwise, the entire Su family will be wiped out. How will you face your ancestors in the future?"

Su Wusheng was shocked by his madness, then lowered his head and said nothing more.

"Don't count on the man who rescued you from Beicang! He can't save himself now!"

Dongfang Qi snorted coldly, "I'll give you a few more days to think about it!"
