Chapter 596 Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs
The next day.
Lu Hailong has been waiting for Xu Wuyan to come.
He thought that once he had made his attitude and position clear to Xu Wuyan, the other party would seek him out for cooperation.
But he waited from morning till dark, but no one came.
Lu Hailong had to sigh. The other party had no intention of talking to him at all.
It should be said that the other party puts himself in opposition.
Now, we are in big trouble!
Lu Hailong had a terrible headache.
At the same time, the Fu family in Beijing.
Prime Minister Fu Yuanming, who had just returned home after a busy day outside, was sitting in his study resting with a tired look on his face.
The emperor was incompetent, and the ministers in the court were divided into several factions. Factionalism was a serious problem, and everyone was arguing endlessly for their own interests. The court was now as noisy as a market.
The emperor was so obsessed with finding an immortal that he had no intention of managing state affairs.
He was impeached in the court today.
If the emperor had not interfered in state affairs, he would probably have been imprisoned by now.
At this moment, Butler Fu walked in, followed by a man wrapped tightly in a black cloak.
"Master, Prince Heng is here." Butler Fu said softly.
Fu Yuanming came to his senses and quickly stood up.
At the same time, he waved his hand to let Butler Fu go down and guard the room, not letting anyone approach the study.
After the study door was closed, Fu Yuanming looked at Prince Heng with a frown:
"My Lord, why are you here tonight?
Did something happen?"
If nothing had happened, he wouldn't have risked coming to find me.
Prince Heng took off the black hat on his head, revealing his pale and bloodless face. "Something big has happened."
Fu Yuanming frowned, "What's the matter?"
He remembered that many things happened in the court, but they were all trivial matters and would not endanger the prince. But why was the prince so serious?
The issue of his impeachment was temporarily resolved by himself, wasn't it?
Prince Heng's face was gloomy. "Let me ask you, when Fu Wenjie left Beijing to lobby Xu Wuyan, did he tell you that he was going to dig up Prince Anping's grave?"
Fu Yuanming shook his head subconsciously.
Then his face changed drastically, and he asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, don't tell me he dug up Prince Anping's grave!"
Damn idiot.
How dare he.
Prince Anping was very popular among the people and was well-liked. If people knew that his tomb had been dug up, it would probably cause an uproar.
How dare this idiot!
If he did such a stupid thing, it would not be lobbying at all, but would completely offend people.
No one has the magnanimity to dig up the other person's father's grave and still expect him to cooperate with you.
Fu Yuanming felt like he was going to faint.
Prince Heng nodded with a distorted expression, "He led people to dig up Prince Anping's tomb and took away Prince Anping's head.
This matter has become a big deal, and some people have already formed a group to go to the capital to seek justice for Prince Anping."
Fu Yuanming staggered and stopped only when his body hit the table.
How dare this rebellious son?
That is the tomb of a loyal minister.
The emperor had Prince Anping beheaded, but arranged for a grand funeral for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the people. However, that rebellious son was so ignorant as to dig up his grave.
Fu Yuanming felt like fainting at this moment.
When King Heng saw him looking at him, he said in a bad tone:
“I have stopped those who came to Beijing to cause trouble.
But I'm afraid I can't hold them back for long; there are too many people and this has caused public outrage."
King Heng paused and pursed his lips.
"I've already sent a letter to him quickly, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible and not to have any further contact with Xu Wuyan.
If this gets to Xu Wuyan, let alone cooperation, he might even kill Fu Wenjie without hesitation."
And there is a high possibility that he will vent his anger on me and become antagonistic to me.
Fu Yuanming smiled bitterly, "I would like to thank the prince on behalf of that evil boy.
This bastard is truly stupid."
"Now is not the time to say he is stupid. We should find a way to solve the mess he has created." Prince Heng said with a frown.
He no longer wants to win over the Xu family to his side.
Now, as long as the Xu family doesn't cause trouble for him, he should be thankful to God.
Prince Heng's face was gloomy. "Prince Anping has a very high status among the people. If this matter is not handled properly, it will become a disaster."
Thinking of the consequences if this matter were to be revealed and it was related to him, King Heng felt like vomiting blood.
Fu Wenjie, this idiot, got himself into so much trouble without paying attention. He really wanted to kill him.
Fu Yuanming said cautiously, "Your Majesty, how about we fabricate some evidence to ruin Prince Anping's reputation?"
"Are you trying to force Xu Wuyan to fight us to the death?" King Heng sneered:
"Xu Wuyan's influence in Mocheng has already begun to take shape, and I've received news that he's on good terms with the Seventh Prince of Beiling. If he goes all out against us, do you think our plan, which we've been planning for years, can still be maintained?"
I just hope Fu Wenjie doesn't talk nonsense in front of Xu Wuyan, and it would be best if they haven't met yet."
At this point, Prince Heng gritted his teeth, a look of determination on his face. "We must give Xu Wuyan an explanation, and give the people an explanation, otherwise there will be no end. We must push someone out to make him take responsibility for this."
Seeing Fu Yuanming's eyes widened, King Heng sneered, "Don't worry, I won't push your son, the culprit, out, but find a scapegoat for him."
An unnatural look flashed across Fu Yuanming's face. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
Even though that evil son was not a good person, he was still his own son after all. He certainly couldn't just watch him die.
"Zhang Feng, the person he trusts the most, didn't try to persuade him about this matter, so it's not unfair to use him as a scapegoat." King Heng directly decided on the person.
After the clapping of the table, Prince Heng left immediately.
Fu Yuanming took a look at the darkness outside, then turned around and went to the desk to write a letter.
He wrote a letter urging the evil son to come back quickly.
If he doesn't come back quickly, once Xu Wuyan gets wind of it, that will be his death.
…
"Young Madam, something happened!"
Xu Dapeng rushed into the study with a pale face. When he saw Lin Mo, his lips moved but he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, his eyes became red.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo stood up while frowning.
Because of nervousness, my stomach suddenly hurt a little.
She suppressed her discomfort and asked, "Did something happen to Old Xu?"
According to the letter I received the day before yesterday, wasn’t Old Xu safe? Could something have happened to him again?
"Young Madam!" Xu Dapeng's face was filled with annoyance. He had frightened the young madam.
"Hurry up and sit down and rest. I'll go get a doctor right away."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and rushed out.
"Come back, I'm fine!" Lin Mo slowly sat back down, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled:
"Tell me, is there something wrong with Old Xu?"
She clenched her hands, trying not to get nervous.
"No!" Xu Dapeng shook his head quickly.
Seeing her doubt, Xu Dapeng didn't dare to hide it anymore and quickly explained:
"Something happened at the prince's tomb."
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xu Wuyan was not in trouble.
But when he heard that something happened to Prince Anping's tomb, he couldn't help but frown again:
"What happened over there?"
Xu Dapeng pursed his lips and said, "Twenty days ago, the two families guarding the prince's tomb were killed and were not discovered until five days later.
Furthermore, the prince's tomb was dug up, his bones were scattered everywhere, and his head is nowhere to be found!"
Bang!
"What!" Lin Mo stood up excitedly and slapped the table.
The originally sturdy table could not withstand his blow and fell apart.
Lin Mo's face was filled with anger. "Who on earth is so heartless as to dig up the prince's grave and take his head?"
As she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly tightened, and a sharp pain spread from her stomach to all parts of her body.
The color on Lin Mo's face faded instantly.
She suppressed her discomfort and sat back on the stool.
"Go, call a doctor, my stomach is not right!"
"Young Madam!"
Xu Dapeng's face changed drastically, and he rushed out and yelled:
"Quick, go get Doctor Mu!"
The whole house was in chaos because of Xu Dapeng's words.
Soon, Lin Mo was helped to the room by Xu Xianyu and others who rushed over.
When Xu Dapeng looked at Lin Mo, who had turned pale and bloodless due to the pain, he couldn't help feeling guilty again.
He shouldn't have told the young lady about these things.
The young lady is pregnant now. If something happens to her, he will be the sinner of the Xu family.
Lin Mo, lying on the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Peng, no matter what method you use, you must find this thief for me. I will tear him into pieces.
You must personally lead a group to retrieve the remaining remains of the prince. I will have someone retrieve his head. Go quickly!"
Xu Dapeng nodded, "I will handle this matter personally, Madam.
But your body..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable!" Lin Mo said with a gloomy face, "Go quickly, don't delay the important business.
There are so many people here, they will take care of me.”
Xu Dapeng nodded, turned and left.
Xu Xianyu, who was standing beside her, was trembling, her face pale.
"Sister-in-law...what happened?"
Her voice was trembling.
When my sister-in-law mentioned the prince just now, was she referring to her father?
What happened to her father's corpse?
"Calm down and do me a favor." Lin Mo said seriously:
"Go find Huangfu Cheng to see me. I want to see him. Go quickly."
At this time, Doctor Mu was pulled in by Xu Pinggui carrying a medicine box.
"Doctor Mu, I'm sorry to trouble you with my sister-in-law." Xu Xianyu saluted Doctor Mu and rushed out.
Doctor Mu didn't even bother to answer her question and immediately went forward to take Lin Mo's pulse.
After taking the pulse, he frowned.
“Something’s wrong!”
