How do I coax him?
"Visit the Duke's mansion more often."
"The Duke of Zhenguo is coming back, how am I supposed to get there?"
Kong Qing choked on her words.
I vaguely recall that three or four years ago, my lord and the Duke of Zhenguo had a heated debate in court over military issues. My lord even said that the Duke was too conservative, inflexible, and stubborn.
My master's mouth can be so sharp it could drive you crazy.
The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that his face turned blue.
From then on, a grudge was formed between him and the Duke.
The Duke never hid his dislike for him from the outside world.
His own prince was always arrogant and unconventional, and he didn't care whether the Duke liked him or not.
Since they usually command troops in the south and north respectively, they rarely have a chance to meet.
Now look what's happened, you've actually taken a fancy to that girl.
You're finished.
The sins committed in the past will eventually have to be repaid.
"By the way, have you found the people who tried to assassinate me?" Although they were all silenced, there are always clues to be found.
"He is one of the Third Prince's men."
"Still not behaving himself even when confined in the manor?" A cold glint appeared on his lips. "Since he's one of his men, then send him back."
——
The third prince was already furious at being stripped of his title and imprisoned, and he was even more enraged when his trusted confidants and allies were cut short by his uncle.
He thought that the Crown Prince and his uncle were already in poor health. If his uncle were to pass away, his father might still give him an important position. In any case, he was his father's biological son.
Therefore, he had a sudden evil thought and sent someone to assassinate the royal uncle.
The person sent out did not return overnight, and there was no news of him.
He also waited in the study all night.
It wasn't until dawn that he planned to go back to his room to rest, but as soon as he left the study, he was terrified.
Several were hanging from the trees in the courtyard...
dead!
Swaying gently in the tree, under the cold, pale moonlight, those faces looked terrifying, with blood even slowly dripping from them.
Several corpses lay neatly laid out under the tree!
He was horrified. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground. His head was buzzing, and he almost instinctively let out a scream.
The servants in the mansion were alarmed, and one after another they arrived. Upon seeing the scene, they were all terrified.
A bold guard stepped forward to investigate.
"Your Highness, everyone is dead. I don't know who was so bold as to leave so many corpses here. I'll report to the authorities immediately!"
"Wait!" the Third Prince called out to the guards. "No one is to tell anyone about this!"
"Anyone who dares to utter a single word will have their life taken!"
Although the crowd was puzzled, they could only listen.
How did he manage to kill everyone and send them to his mansion without anyone noticing?
The third prince was puzzled, but he understood.
This must be the work of the Imperial Uncle; he is indirectly warning himself:
Taking his life would be as easy as turning one's hand!
devil!
He really is a demon god; even when he's sick, he's still terrifying.
The events that occurred in the Third Prince's residence were kept strictly secret, and outsiders had no way of knowing about them.
Shen Zhiyi had no mind to think about anything else, because she hadn't slept well. She had only taken a short nap when it was just past dawn and was woken up by Hongrui just after 9 a.m.
"Girl, wake up quickly."
"I don't need breakfast." Shen Zhi was extremely sleepy.
"The Duke, his wife, and the two young masters have returned; their caravan has arrived outside the manor."
Mom and Dad are back!
Chen Zhiyi was instantly wide awake.
