When Huang Haichuan arrived, he was full of confidence and joy. He felt that the prince was willing to rescue him, which meant that the prince must have already taken a different view of him. He believed that if he performed well, he would definitely be given an important position by the prince.
But now, Huang Haichuan knows he has been tricked and deceived, and has even implicated the prince, so he doesn't dare to say a word. He shrinks to the side and prays that the prince won't notice him.
After listening to his advisor's words, the man finally calmed down, checked himself over, and said strangely, "I'm not injured, but the assassin didn't come to hurt me, nor did he take anything from me. So why did he come?"
As they were talking, Baihu returned, his face filled with anger. All three people in the room were looking at him. Baihu said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I am incompetent and have been sent away!"
"Fine, it's not your fault!" The man paused for a moment, then waved his hand to tell Baihu not to mind the matter. Although he comforted his subordinate like this, he was still very angry. After thinking carefully and recalling all the assassin's actions since he arrived, he realized one thing—he had been played for a fool!
Thinking this, the man glared at Huang Haichuan with murderous intent. It was all Huang Haichuan's fault; he had no brains at all and couldn't even tell if he had been deceived, which was why he had attracted people here.
When Huang Haichuan saw the prince looking at him with murderous eyes, he trembled and said timidly, "Your Highness, since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
Seeing his cowardly appearance, the man was furious. He had been holding back for a long time, but if it weren't for the fact that he needed this man to take over the Hu family and use him, he would have crushed him on the spot!
"Hmm!" the man squeezed out through gritted teeth, "Go back. Things need to be done as soon as possible. I hope you can completely take control of the Hu family before Hu Mingmei's poison takes effect!"
Huang Haichuan nodded in agreement, not daring to tell the man that they had all been infected by Hu Mingmei's Gu worms!
We can only take it one step at a time. Maybe we can go back and have a good talk with our parents and come up with a solution.
"Let's go!" As soon as the man finished speaking, Huang Haichuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly retreated, closed the door, let out a deep breath at the doorway, wiped away his cold sweat, and hurried away.
Although the people inside the room couldn't see his movements very clearly, they could still vaguely make out a shadow. Seeing Huang Haichuan's appearance, Baihu immediately felt that this person was too cowardly. Moreover, if it weren't for him, the master wouldn't have been exposed and would have been in such a passive situation. "Master, why don't I go and kill him?"
"No!" The advisor quickly stopped Baihu and said to the man, "Your Highness, Hu Haichuan and his son should be kept alive to take over the Hu family. If Hu Mingmei is gone, they will be the most legitimate ones. If anything happens to them, it may be detrimental to Your Highness's great cause!"
"I know!" the man sneered. "Otherwise, just for putting me in such a passive situation today, I would have killed him!"
"Now that the matter between Your Highness and Hu Haichuan is known, we don't know who sent the assassin. Soon, Prince Chu will definitely enter the court. Your Highness should observe carefully!"
The most important thing is to see how Prince Chu reacts. The reactions of the other princes are not so important. In any case, the struggle between the princes and the other princes has never stopped.
"Um!"

On the other side, the assassin, who had just completed his mission, entered a courtyard with practiced ease and went straight into a room. Only after removing his dark, grimy attire did he say to the person watching him, "Second Master, I know who is behind Huang Haichuan!"
This person was none other than Xia Donglai.
"Who is it?" Hu Mingmei asked casually. "Prince Cheng?"
Xia Donglai was somewhat surprised, "Second Master, how did you know?"
Hu Mingmei held a book in her hand, turned a page, but her eyes remained fixed on the book. "I guessed, and he might even be waiting for me to die!" Only the Prince of Cheng would have such ambition and make no attempt to hide it.
"Could it be that you suspected him from the very beginning, Second Master?" Xia Donglai asked.
"Yes!" Hu Mingmei nodded. "Although I had this idea, I only became certain it was his after what Princess Cheng said to my wife at our house!"
Having worked his entire life, he had only just learned that Huang Haichuan and the others would obtain the antidote within a short period of time. However, he died before he could get the antidote from them. After being reborn, although he finally obtained the antidote, to his surprise, there was only half of it. Moreover, not only was it ineffective, but taking it would also hasten his death. He kept wondering who was behind this.
In his past life, he thought that Huang Wenbai and the others just wanted him to die so that they could smoothly and legitimately take over all the property left by the princess. In this life, he realized that they had done so many things not for himself, but for the sake of becoming king!
Huang Wenbai not only wronged his own grandmother, but he also colluded with outsiders to seize all the power accumulated by the Hu family over generations.
Although I died young in my previous life, it was also because I died young and knew nothing that the Hu family most likely fell into the hands of Prince Cheng.
“Prince Cheng doesn’t know we’ve already obtained the prescription. If he knew you were alright, then Huang Haichuan and his gang would be finished!” Xia Donglai said, expressing his thoughts. “Thanks to the prescription sent by Prince Duan, your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled!”
