As the saying goes, truth comes out when drunk, and Prince An and Prince Gong believed it.
However, there was a hint of disappointment in Prince Gong's lowered eyes.
"Third brother, you are so brave! Hiccup, you actually dared to come up with such an excuse to deceive father!"
Prince An burped and gave Prince Kang a thumbs up.
Prince Kang narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, this is not a lie to the emperor. Don't talk nonsense. Fourth brother, come, let's continue drinking!
I won’t go home until I’m drunk tonight!”
The four Song Wenyu brothers, who were sitting aside listening to their father bragging, exchanged glances and all breathed a sigh of relief.
They all knew that their mother's previous nightmare was about the snowstorm. It could be said that their mother's nightmare seemed to be able to predict what would happen in the future.
Prince Gong actually came to drink with their father and ask questions. It seems that Prince Gong was somewhat suspicious that his mother had a nightmare.
Fortunately, their father knew the true face of Prince Gong and did not tell their mother's secret from the bottom of his heart!
Prince Gong and Prince Kang drank for a while, and then talked about how Prince Kang could come up with the idea of using the fact that Princess Kang had a nightmare as an excuse to tell his father about the snowstorm.
But he was interrupted by Prince Kang every time, and Prince Gong had no idea where to start if he wanted to get any information.
Since his goal was not achieved, Prince Gong was too lazy to procrastinate any further.
He simply pretended to be drunk, staggered to his feet and burped.
"Third brother, Seventh brother, hiccup, I have to go back. Tomorrow morning, hiccup, I have to go to court."
"Okay, come on, send Prince Gong out. Hiccup, make sure Prince Gong returns safely."
Prince Kang stood up and shouted for people to come in, then helped Prince Gong out.
The housekeeper went to Qingzhuyuan to invite Princess Gong.
As Prince Gong and his wife left, the confusion in Prince Kang's eyes disappeared instantly.
If his face wasn't red and he wasn't smelling of alcohol, someone who didn't know would have thought he hadn't drunk any alcohol at all.
King Kang turned his head to look at King An. He originally wanted to see if King An was also drunk. If so, he would ask his servants to send King An back.
As a result, when he turned his head, he met Prince An who was looking at him with a look of satisfaction.
King Kang: “???”
"Seventh Brother, what are you looking at?"
King Kang was speechless.
Prince An and his brother stood on tiptoe and put their hands on Prince Kang's shoulders, "Third brother, I'm so happy and relieved. I'm relieved that you finally know that you can't tell Prince Gong everything!
Third brother, have you finally realized that Prince Gong is not a good person?"
King Kang: “…”
The four Song Wenyu brothers wanted to laugh at this moment, but tried hard to hold it back.
"Father, Uncle An, we will withdraw first."
Song Wenyu bowed and spoke, temporarily interrupting their conversation.
King Kang waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go back and rest."
"Seventh Brother, come in and talk to me in detail."
Prince Kang put his arm around Prince An's shoulders and dragged him back into the house.
"Third brother, do you want to say something to your younger brother?"
Prince An straightened his clothes with a smile, sat at the table, poured himself a glass of warm water and took a sip.
"What did you mean by what you just said? Why did you say that Prince Gong was not a good person?"
King Kang looked at King An seriously and asked.
In fact, compared to his younger brother Prince Gong, who had always had a good relationship with him but stabbed him in the back unexpectedly.
He felt that his younger brother, Prince An, was more honest and trustworthy.
"Third brother, everyone has always known that you have a very good relationship with Prince Gong. Prince Gong is the brother you have the best relationship with among all your brothers.
It is said that those who are involved in the matter are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things clearly. It is normal for you to feel this way, third brother, but I can't stand it.
Prince Gong is not a good person. His ambition is all in his eyes. I can tell at a glance.
His biological mother's status and position are unknown, and she has been dead for many years, but your biological mother is the Imperial Concubine, and you are known to everyone as the Emperor's most beloved son!
Prince Gong is trying to get close to you because he wants to use you as a stepping stone! He wants to use you!"
As Prince An spoke, he became increasingly angry and emotional.
King Kang felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that his younger brother, the Seventh Brother, could speak to him so frankly.
"The reason I came here tonight is because I happened to see you, Third Brother, bringing Prince Gong back home.
I was worried about what Prince Gong might do to you, so I thought of coming over to take a look.
With me by his side, Prince Gong wouldn't be so bold as to attack you directly.
And what Prince Gong said just now was obviously a cliché!
Fortunately, Third Brother, you didn't foolishly follow his words and tell him everything in detail."
After Prince An finished speaking, he took a breath and drank some water.
King Kang scratched his head and said, "Seventh Brother, if Third Brother says that what he just said is true, would you believe it?"
Prince An: “???”
"ah?"
"Didn't Fourth Brother just want to ask if the reason I knew there would be a snowstorm in the capital was because of my wife's dream?
The fact is, it is not, and what I just said is indeed the truth.
It's been some time since this happened.
I just don't know why the fourth brother suddenly asked about this.
By the way, Old Seven, do you know what's going on in Prince Gong's Mansion recently?"
King Kang changed the subject and asked about this matter.
Prince An thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. My brother hasn't paid much attention to Prince Gong's Mansion. However, my brother came here tonight not only to prevent Prince Gong from doing something bad to you, Third Brother.
There are other things as well. Didn't my younger brother say last time that he wanted to help you, Third Brother, investigate the evidence that the Minister of Rites sent an assassin to kill my niece at the full moon ceremony? "
King Kang's eyes brightened a little, "Yes, what did you find out?"
Prince An spread his hands and shrugged, "No, we didn't find anything. I even suspect that the people I sent out weren't very good at investigating.
I asked someone else to investigate again, but still nothing was found.
Forget about the fact that the Minister of Rites sent assassins to kill my niece. The Minister of Rites has never had any conflict with you, my third brother!
How can this be said to be his plan to assassinate my niece? I even suspect that the assassin just made up a scapegoat to protect the mastermind behind the scenes."
Prince An curled his lips and said, "Besides, if you don't investigate, you won't know. Once you investigate, you will be shocked. The Minister of Rites is usually very low-key. I'm afraid few people know that he is actually a kind-hearted person!
When the capital city was hit by a snowstorm before, he quietly gave a lot of supplies to the people. On ordinary days off, he would also order people to give porridge to the people.
These were just the small good things he did. There were many other things, but I don’t remember them clearly.
It can be said that this Minister of Rites has never done a bad thing. He has been an honest official and a good person in a low-key manner, doing good deeds.
I still think he wasn't the one behind sending the assassin to kill my niece at her full moon ceremony."
Prince An's words made Prince Kang fall into deep thought.
If it wasn't the Minister of Rites, then who was it?
Could it be that the assassin was deliberately trying to smear the Minister of Rites?
