Their scandalous deeds ironically became his best cover; the person hiding in the Beili Post Station was always a double for Bei Ye and Wei Qingyi.
In reality, the two of them pretended to be a married couple and traveled around the capital.
The two pretended to be husband and wife? Everyone's face froze. Who would have thought that a prince and the eldest son of a powerful minister would make such a sacrifice for their own purposes!
"By the way, Little Pearl, speaking of aristocratic families, Xie Lao Si and Xie Xiao Jiu, one was startled by a horse and the other fell into the water."
Just a few days later, one person ate a poisonous mushroom, and another encountered a 'ghost' in the middle of the night.
"Was this all done by the powerful families?"
Speaking of this, Yue Fuguang found it amusing. Poisoning a horse, pushing someone into the water, or even putting poisonous mushrooms in mushroom and chicken soup—all of these were understandable.
They never expected that those people would actually come up with the idea of dressing up as ghosts to scare the Ninth Prince, and that they were dressed up as Zhou Yunxin, who was bleeding from all seven orifices.
Despite shouting that he would take him away, Xie Xiaojiu, a superstitious local, was not scared out of his wits on the spot. He really has a strong mentality!
The system also realized this, and cheerfully replied, "Master, it was the aristocratic families who did it." Xie Xiaojiu got up in the middle of the night and secretly went to see the spy Bei Li had left in the Dayan Imperial Palace.
As a result, he ran into Zhou Yunxin.
No wonder the Ninth Prince is such a ruthless person, poisoning and killing his own elder brother and 'adoptive father'!
Terrified, he ran back to his own palace before calling for help!
Everyone: Ancestor, you call His Majesty your foster father. Does His Majesty know this?
Emperor Mingxi: The dried-up wound has started bleeding again! This wound is constantly mentioned by the Divine Artifact Master, and it just won't heal at all!
"If the emperor doesn't realize this isn't an accident, his two sons will die at the hands of powerful families!"
Wei Ping, Cai Xian, and the others' eyes flickered. Wasn't this exactly what their Emperor wanted?
While making the two take the blame for the Grand Tutor, he used the powerful families to kill two princes who were not in a position to act on his own.
This would not only thwart the plans of the Southern Yue and Northern Li, but also provide an opportunity to launch an attack on the aristocratic families.
Before the imperial court could expand outwards, these destabilizing factors had to be eliminated.
If it weren't for their power, the ruler and his ministers wouldn't have been so tolerant.
"So what if they're dead? These two have committed countless evil deeds, and we're already seeing the first signs of their crimes. Master, you won't let their young age stop you from taking your heart away, will you?"
The Southern Yue, behind the Fourth Prince, has been quite restless lately. Consort Xin and the dying Yue Ying even tried to contact the aristocratic families.
They wanted to unite with them to turn their attention to the other princes and princesses.
And the Ninth Prince, don't think he's pitiful just because he lost his birth mother and the emperor's favor.
Actually, when Zhou Yunxin fell out of favor, the mother and son had already contacted the spies of the Northern Li people who were hiding in the palace.
The two looked to be only teenagers, but they were already very mature. Even Xie Xiaojiu, the fake prince, never gave up his ambition to seize the throne.
They even considered taking advantage of the chaos while they were being targeted for assassination to strike at the Crown Prince's palace.
Attacking the Crown Prince? Wei Ping and the others were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost tripped and fell flat on their faces.
The current crown prince holds a more important place in their hearts than before.
Especially knowing that countries would gradually descend into turmoil in the coming years, the importance of a mature, steady, wise, and favored imperial successor by the Junior Tutor became paramount.
If the Junior Tutor was the pillar of stability in the celestial realm stories they had heard, then His Highness the Crown Prince was undoubtedly the crucial cornerstone for the future development of the Great Evolution.
Looking at the emperor's many sons, only His Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable to inherit the throne.
If the Great Yan Kingdom loses its Crown Prince Xie Zhiyan, then...
No one dared to imagine the consequences!
"Are Consort Xin and Yue Ying planning to use someone else to poison the Crown Prince again?"
Can't you come up with a different approach using the same three tricks?
[It's not about impersonating someone else, after all, such planning is too time-consuming, and what they lack most right now is time.]
Moreover, the Emperor and Empress are currently maintaining strict control over the palace, and few dare to act recklessly at this time. Therefore, it's impossible for Consort Xin and her group to remain hidden behind the scenes this time.
The best option is to step forward and do it yourself.
Moreover, Yue Ying didn't have many days left to live, so naturally he wanted to gamble before he died, and also fight for a future for his child.
Yue Fuguang paused for a moment and then said, "By the way, I remember the Crown Prince sent a bunch of gifts the other day, and we haven't given them a return gift yet."
What does the master want to do?
"Since we said we would protect the Crown Prince, he cannot die. Send two antidote pills to the Eastern Palace tomorrow."
Shouldn't we tell them about the schemes of the Northern Le and Southern Yue?
"As the crown prince, he should discover this himself. If we keep reminding him, what will they do if we leave here one day?"
Isn't it better for them to learn to walk on their own than for us to help them walk?
Despite her righteous words, Yue Fuguang was actually just looking to slack off and live a life of leisure. She thought that these people would be good tools if they helped her with her tasks.
But the people behind her didn't know that she just wanted to slack off!
They really thought that this young master, who hadn't mentioned running away for some time, had settled down.
To my utter surprise, the Junior Tutor never abandoned this idea!
They listened with trepidation, several times more frightened than if they had known the Southern Yue people were going to attack the Crown Prince.
On the way to the kitchen, they relied entirely on instinct to lift their legs and take steps. Wei Ping, Cai Xian, and the others even had to be supported by their sons to avoid falling.
Now that Dayan is getting better day by day, they feel they can no longer do without the presence of the Junior Master.
She was like the anchor of the imperial court; their experience was completely different when she attended court versus when she didn't.
I dare not even imagine a court without the Junior Tutor...
Yu Chongshan and his son exchanged a glance. Thinking of the sea ship his granddaughter had mentioned, Fu Guang probably meant going to sea, not actually leaving Dayan or this world.
Didn't we agree to stay until I'm eighty? I can't just go back early!
Little did they know that Yue Fuguang's idea was to complete the mission before she turned eighteen; she still had nine years.
According to her plan, nine years would be enough to build up Dayan and pacify the five kingdoms!
With their own thoughts, everyone walked forward, heads bowed and eyes downcast, like defeated soldiers, dejected and lacking most of their energy.
Wei Shouyi quickly continued, "Young Master, since you don't intend to take those five people with you, shall I select five more to replace them?"
Before Yue Fuguang could speak, Wei Ping and Cai Xian simultaneously gave their son, who was helping them walk, a push and said, "Why would General Wei need to choose more people? Aren't there a few ready-made here?"
Although the young master said he would bring their son along, they were still worried because nothing was confirmed yet.
Wei Yan, Cai Bing, Huo Sui, and a group of other纨绔 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) immediately stepped forward, bowed to Yue Fuguang, and said, "Young Master, we hope to join the Yue Army and follow the soldiers to Sanchadi to garrison."
I humbly request that you grant my request!
