Chapter 215 Second Prince Wu Yun
"real"
Looking at Ze Xin with tears in her eyes, Wu Zhu nodded confidently, then comforted her again and walked out quickly.
After Wu Zhu left, Concubine Yue and Concubine Xin smiled at each other, and after a glance exchange, Concubine Yue took the palace maid back to her own bedroom.
After everyone left, Ze Xin remained silent with a gloomy face, thinking about his son's words in his heart.
"Mother, it's common knowledge that our father favors the Crown Prince. Look at my second, third, and fourth brothers."
"Although my son is only thirteen years old, he is not stupid. If Second Brother had not been ill, he would have been sent out early, just like Third and Fourth Brothers."
As he thought about it, Ze Xin thought of the fourth prince who was sent to the northwestern fiefdom when he was only a few years old.
Just because the Fourth Prince's maternal family had no background and his mother passed away early, that person actually made him a king and gave him his fiefdom early on.
That fiefdom was in the northwest, the poorest place in the entire Wuxi Kingdom.
There, close to the covetous Qinglan Kingdom, frictions often occurred. Although there were troops on the border, the general of the Xu family had long been called back by that person, and it became the most dangerous place in the entire Wuxi Kingdom.
I thought the Northwest would get worse and worse, but after more than a decade, not only is it not getting worse, it is even showing signs of prosperity.
If the Crown Prince had not stopped him, he would have probably already begun a thorough investigation of the Fourth Prince's fiefdom.
Thinking of this, a scornful smile appeared on Ze Xin's face, and he thought to himself: Prince, should I say that you are self-righteous or guilty and timid?
You're actually suppressing the rise of the Northwest. You're determined to take over the Wuxi Kingdom...
But, does the Second Prince really have a hidden disease?
I'm afraid the sky in the capital is about to start to become stormy...
Imperial study.
"Deqing, go to the Second Prince's residence tomorrow and bring Old Five back."
"promise."
As soon as the sun rose, Deqing left the palace and quickly went to the second prince's residence.
"Eunuch Qing, does the Emperor have any instructions?"
Looking at the Second Prince Wu Yun, who was lying on the bed, breathing in less than breathing out, Deqing whispered, "Second Prince, the Emperor has ordered this servant to bring the Fifth Prince back to the palace."
"Ahem, Old Five, Eunuch Qing, Old Five is not at my house, ahem, ahem..."
Hearing this, Deqing was stunned.
Seeing Deqing's expression, Wu Yun said to the servants, "First, the Fifth Prince has arrived at the palace."
"My lord, I haven't seen the Fifth Prince."
"Go find it."
"yes."
After Yi left, Wu Yun looked at Deqing and said, "Eunuch Qing, do you know when Lao Wu came to my house?"
"Replying to the Second Prince, it has been more than half a month."
"More than half a month, cough cough... No, I haven't seen Lao Wu for almost two months, cough cough..."
Seeing Wu Yun coughing violently after speaking a few more words, Deqing was afraid that he would accidentally cough out the thing beating in his chest, so he hurried forward and gently soothed him.
At the same time, he said, "Second Prince, please be quiet. Perhaps the Fifth Prince is afraid of disturbing you and has gone out to play."
“Cough cough… cough…”
Looking at Wu Yun, who was coughing so hard that he was almost out of breath, Deqing quickly comforted him: "Second Prince, don't worry, don't worry, relax, slowly..."
The person standing aside quickly brought a cup of ginseng tea, "Master, ginseng tea. Eunuch Qing, quickly give the master some ginseng tea..."
Deqing took it and immediately scooped some with a spoon and handed it to Wu Yun's pale mouth, "Second Prince, ginseng tea."
Seeing Wu Yun gasping for breath and slightly opening his mouth, Deqing hurriedly fed him. Seeing him swallow it, he scooped another spoonful and continued...
After drinking a few sips, Wu Yun's chest heaving was not as severe as before. Deqing raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then handed the ginseng tea to the person waiting on the side, stood up, said a few words to the second prince, and then left quickly.
Not long after, Yi came back.
"Old Five should have reunited with Old Six."
"My Lord, yes."
Wu Yun sighed, "Do you think I'm soft-hearted and let them go?"
Seeing Yi silent, Wu Yun finally spoke up: "Do you think the third and fourth brothers really have no strength?"
"In terms of strength, I think the fourth one is the most talented. As long as they don't want that position, then I'll let them go."
"If it weren't for my brother, the Crown Prince, who pressed on me every step of the way, Bai Qi wouldn't have been sent to the capital by the Third Brother, and even to the palace."
At this point, Wu Yun looked at Yi and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
"As expected by the master, it wasn't the Third Prince who captured Bai Qi. After the Fourth Prince left, the Third Prince brought Bai Qi back to the capital with a large army."
"Moreover, on the day he returned to the capital, the Third Prince left the capital and went to the Fourth Prince's fiefdom. It was said that he was going to convey an imperial decree."
"Deliver an order," Wu Yun said suspiciously, then hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at Yi, "Could it be to confine Old Four?"
"According to the information we have received, the Fourth Prince is not allowed to return to the capital unless summoned."
Listening to Yi's report, Wu Yun smiled slightly, "I'm afraid this news was leaked intentionally by my third brother."
"Alas~~ It seems that these two are determined not to take that position. In that case, let's hand over the fifth and sixth brothers to them for their instruction."
"One, pass the message on. As long as they don't return to the capital to cause trouble, I will keep them safe."
"Yes, Master."
After Yi left, Wu Yun, who had been sick and dying just now, got out of bed and slowly walked to the half-open window, muttering to himself: "Mother, are you okay over there?"
"Don't worry, mother. Soon, I will have the person who harmed you come over to apologize to you. I will never let the person who harmed you go!"
"Mother Xin protected me back then, and I'll remember it in my heart. I'll repay you for that."
After saying this, Wu Yun's aura suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "San, have you investigated the Dark Pavilion and the Tianxuan Sect?"
"My Lord, there is no concrete news. It's just that the Dark Pavilion and the Tianxuan Sect seem to have some kind of relationship with General Xu's family."
After the man spoke, Wu Yun also remembered that year.
People from the Dark Pavilion and the Tianxuan Sect appeared at the Xu family's house at the same time, just after the two generals of the Xu family disappeared.
However, based on General Xu's expression at the time, it was obvious that he did not know any Dark Pavilion, let alone anyone from the Tianxuan Sect.
There is only one possibility, someone in the Xu family is familiar with these two forces.
Suddenly, Wu Yun thought of the Qi family, the Qi family that disappeared overnight.
Old Madam Xu's surname is Qi, and she comes from the Qi family. The Qi family, which was rumored to have been wiped out, still has descendants.
Moreover, he was the young master of the Qi family and the nephew of Old Madam Xu.
Could this Dark Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect be related to the young master of the Qi family?
Wu Yun fell into deep thought...
