"Are you sure the Minister of Rites' son really brought that wooden box into Prince Kang's mansion?!"
An Yi appeared silently and said, "Your Majesty, I am certain of this and have seen it with my own eyes.
However... because there are no spies in Prince Kang's mansion, I am not sure whether the Minister of Rites' son actually buried the wooden box in Prince Kang's mansion. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The old emperor sneered, "So it's very likely that the Minister of Rites' son didn't bury the wooden box in Prince Kang's mansion at all, so my guards never found it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
An Yi even thought that it was because King Kang discovered the existence of the wooden box early and dug it out in advance.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to express his thoughts.
"Forget it. The one who should be more angry than me about this matter is Prince Gong. Keep observing Prince Gong and figure out whether this incident is caused by the son of the Minister of Rites or Prince Kang."
The old emperor ordered that he would rather hide in the dark than stand in the open, and that he would continue to watch Prince Gong and Prince Kang plotting against each other.
"yes."
At Prince Gong's Mansion, he learned that the royal guards had found nothing from Prince Kang's Mansion. He was so angry that he smashed everything in the house to pieces.
"How is this possible! How is this possible! Could that wooden box just disappear out of thin air?!"
The secret guard knelt beside him and asked, "Your Highness, could it be that the Minister of Rites' son didn't bury the box at all?"
Prince Gong was so angry that he was panting violently, his chest heaving up and down. "That's a possibility."
“Your Highness, moreover, if the Minister of Rites’ son had indeed buried something in Prince Kang’s mansion, yet the royal guards did not find it this morning.
Another possibility is that King Kang may have discovered the wooden box, dug out the contents in advance and hid them somewhere else.
There are only these two possibilities. After all, it is impossible for a wooden box to disappear out of thin air."
The secret guard expressed his guess.
But upon hearing this, Prince Gong sneered and said, "Prince Kang doesn't have the brains to discover in advance that his mansion has been tampered with.
Rather than King Kang discovering it in advance, I think it was the son of the Minister of Rites who didn't bury the wooden box at all!
Such a good opportunity has been missed. It seems that I can only think of other ways."
The secret guard frowned slightly, "Your Highness, do you need to ask the Minister of Rites to come to your residence and ask him about the wooden box?"
"No need, I'm sure the Minister of Rites has heard about what happened in Prince Kang's mansion this morning.
If he is truly determined to surrender to me, he will come here in person to explain.
If he hadn’t come…”
Prince Gong narrowed his eyes, the murderous intent in his eyes undisguised.
Just as Prince Gong had expected, the Minister of Rites was now pacing anxiously at home.
"Alin, are you sure you buried the wooden box under the big tree in Song Le'an's backyard?!"
This is the fifth time the Minister of Rites has asked this question.
Dong Lin was also confused, "Father, I am very sure that I buried the wooden box with my own hands!
It’s right under the only big tree next to the bamboo forest in Song Le’an’s backyard!
My son buried it himself! There's no way the guards wouldn't have found it!
The son suspected that the wooden box was discovered by people from Prince Kang's mansion and dug out early.
Otherwise it would be hard to explain how a wooden box could disappear out of thin air.”
"Are the people in Prince Kang's Mansion so smart? I don't believe it. Even I don't believe it, let alone Prince Gong."
The Minister of Rites shook his head and sighed, "But I, your father, must go to Prince Gong to explain this matter. Otherwise, Prince Gong will think that you didn't bury the wooden box, which led to the failure of this plan.
You go out, I will go to Prince Gong's Mansion later."
The Minister of Rites patted Dong Lin on the shoulder.
"Yes, thank you, father."
After Dong Lin pushed the door open and left, a figure came out from the corner and watched him leave.
That evening, Song Le'an hurried back home after school.
"Mother! Mother! My son has learned an important piece of news!"
As soon as he ran into Qingzhuyuan and before entering the house, Song Le'an shouted at the top of his voice.
Song Jiujiu had just woken up for a while. After Ye Peizhu changed her diaper, she heard the voice of her little son coming from outside.
[Is this my fifth brother's voice? He's so excited. What news did he hear?]
Song Jiujiu curiously stretched out her chubby little hands and grabbed her mother's sleeves, wanting her mother to pick her up.
Ye Peizhu picked up her daughter, and Song Le'an ran in panting.
"An'er, take it easy, don't get excited, drink some water first."
Ye Peizhu poured some water for Song Le'an and sat at the table holding her daughter.
Song Le'an drank a glass of water in one breath and finally recovered.
"Mother, your son heard something important!"
Song Le'an lowered his voice and said, "That black wooden box was buried in my son's backyard by Dong Lin himself when he came to see my son when he had a fever last time!
But in this matter, the Minister of Rites was not the mastermind. The real mastermind was Prince Gong!
This is what Dong Zhuo said to his son. Dong Zhuo heard the conversation between the Minister of Rites and Dong Lin with his own ears!
The Minister of Rites said that this plan had failed, and Prince Gong was likely to plan another plan.
But because of this failure, he still doesn't know whether Prince Gong will let him participate, so he will go to Prince Gong to explain the matter clearly.
Let Prince Gong know that it wasn't Dong Lin who didn't bury the wooden box, but that someone from our Kangwang Mansion discovered it and dug it out and hid it somewhere else!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Peizhu frowned, "The mastermind behind this is actually Prince Gong?"
Song Le'an nodded, his expression serious and frightened, "Dong Zhuo heard what his father said with his own ears. He didn't expect that the Minister of Rites was actually Prince Gong's man.
Prince Gong sent people to set fire to my second and third brothers last time, and now he's planning to target our family again...
Mother, Prince Gong wants to kill our entire family. We can’t just sit there and wait for death. We have to think of a way to fight back against Prince Gong!
The Minister of Rites said that Prince Gong will try to plot against our Kangwang Mansion again. We escaped this time, but what about next time?
[Fifth brother is right. We should fight back and not let Prince Gong jump around like this.
This time my precognitive dream came several hours in advance. My parents trusted me very much and really took me, a two-month-old baby, out. By chance, they found the wooden box and avoided the disaster.
But next time, if Prince Gong attacks us again, I am not sure if I can help my family escape the disaster by relying on my predictive dreams!
Instead of being so passive, why don't we take the initiative? 】
Song Jiujiu clenched her little fists, and the words in her heart spoke loudly.
When Song Le'an listened to his sister's thoughts, he wanted to applaud and say that what she said was good.
But he had to protect his sister's secret, so he could only pretend that he heard nothing.
