The fat ghost has done a lot of things for Xiao Cunyu and can be regarded as an old man around Xiao Cunyu. He was an ordinary wealthy man when he was alive, but because he had too many relatives and friends in his family, the people and things he had to take into account during his lifetime always made him feel like he was tied up with ropes, without freedom and very tired.
His wishes were also very vague. He just said that he wanted to go out more often and live a truly happy life.
He was born very blessed, chubby, and looked like Maitreya Buddha when he smiled, so Xiao Cunyu always liked him very much.
As a result, this ghost has been captured for a long time, but has never fulfilled his wish.
"Sir." As soon as the fat ghost appeared, Xiao Cunyu felt as if he had seen a blessing coming to him, and he was quite happy.
"You're back so soon?" Xiao Cunyu was a little surprised. "Have you figured out who's behind them?"
"Hmm!" The fat ghost was very excited. "Sir, I followed them all the way. Those killers looked cold and scary, but I didn't expect them to say bad things about others behind their backs! They kept cursing on the way back, and then they went to a remote house. They looked quite lost. After nightfall, the leader went out alone and sneaked into a courtyard with a high gate."
"Luckily, I'm a ghost and can fly, otherwise I would never be able to catch up with him!"
"He stayed in the courtyard for quite a while before being summoned inside. Inside the study was a young man who looked...about the same age as your second brother, and not particularly outstanding. The mansion was large, but the interior was quite plain. He didn't seem particularly happy. I heard the mission had failed, and they had simply let him die."
"Not long after the leader went in, he took poison and committed suicide. Then that person called his confidants over and took the leader's body out and buried it. It seems like this kind of thing has happened many times before. That person's eyes are terrifying. Even though I know he can't see me, I still feel scared staying in that study!"
The fat ghost pretended to sigh for the nonexistent breath of life, and then said as if asking for a reward, "I thought you were anxious to know who was behind this, so I went to take another look at the gate and found that it said "Prince of Yue's Mansion"! I came back immediately after confirming it!"
After the fat ghost finished speaking, Xiao Cunyu was also shocked.
King of Yue?
In Xiao Cunyu's mind, he really didn't have much impression of this person.
She had only met the King of Yue once, and that was on the hunting ground. The faces of royal family members were not easy to read, as they had a natural layer of noble protection. Therefore, unless necessary, she would not look at the prince's face too carefully.
I only vaguely remember that the King of Yue behaved particularly mediocrely at that time, was not talkative, and even looked very honest and loyal, without any ambition at all.
Moreover, the biological mother of the King of Yue was originally of humble origin. It was only after the Wu family encountered trouble that the emperor promoted his biological mother to the position of Concubine Yu in order to counterbalance the biological mother of the King Qin.
Even so, this virtuous concubine still did not have the strong support of her maternal family, and the King of Yue's main and concubines were of ordinary origin. It can be said that among all the princes, even those who were still young and had not yet been crowned kings, were more likely to ascend the throne than the King of Yue!
He was neither a legitimate son nor supported by his ministers, nor did he have the emperor's favor or a powerful in-laws. He was destined to be a king without any support.
So, why does he keep assassins?
Want to rebel?
It’s not that Xiao Cunyu looks down on him, but judging from the facts, the possibility of a successful rebellion is zero!
Moreover, even if the King of Yue wanted to rebel, what had she and Zhou Jingmao done wrong?
Xiao Cunyu was completely bewildered. He really didn't know when he had offended the "honest man" King Yue!
