Ye Heqi's identity was beyond Zhao Letong's expectations. He was actually the king of intelligence and the richest man in the world. His influence spread across four countries and he was an invisible boss.
If the emperors of the four countries are the emperors in public, then Ye Heqi is the emperor of the dark night, and in some things he is even more powerful than the emperors of the four countries.
"Brother Ye is so awesome."
Zhao Letong was generous with his praise, and Ye Heqi actually felt a sense of accomplishment and was very happy. It was worth it for all his efforts over the years to be able to gain Letong's sincere admiration.
"Brother Ye is so powerful, how come he got poisoned?"
"It was done by the royal family of Southern Xinjiang. Their country is not big, but they are very good at poisons, and even some strange curses and witchcraft. This poison is a witchcraft, and ordinary doctors can't cure it.
I thought I was going to die and had already started to arrange my funeral. I didn't expect that you, Letong, saved me and also saved our Ye family.
The Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is now our common enemy. Let us unite and wipe out this restless little nation."
It was during his revenge that Ye Heqi discovered that the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was targeting the Zhao family, and his bond with Le Tong grew deeper and deeper.
"He must be eradicated. I can't help with anything else, but don't worry about the curse and poison. Even if I can't remove them, there's still the Supervisor. He's made a breakthrough now, and the people in the world who can handle him are few and far between."
"Master Supervisor? Can he help us?"
Ye Heqi placed many officials in the court to collect information, but the Supervisory Office did not belong to the court's power, so he could not interfere.
Zhao Letong was a little proud. "The Supervisor is my junior brother. He calls me "Little Senior Sister." All the disciples in the Imperial Observatory are my nephews."
Ye Heqi: "..."
Oh, look how proud she is. However, Zhao Letong's ability was beyond his expectations. This little girl is simply a treasure. It is a great blessing for anyone to meet her.
"Le Tong is really amazing. He can even command the Supervisor. Brother Ye, please take good care of him in the future."
"It's my turn, as it should be."
Zhao Letong was very proud. Although she was young, she knew a lot.
After chatting with Ye Heqi for a while, it was getting late, so Ye Heqi sent someone to take her home. Now was a critical time, and Le Tong's safety had to be protected.
Zhao Biao also came back, his face not looking good. He found Zhao Letong alone to discuss something, "Your third brother is missing."
Zhao Letong screamed inwardly, "What? My third brother is missing? You only just found out about such a big thing now? Are you sure he's my biological father? You didn't just pick him up?"
He really doesn't care about the third brother at all. He didn't even know he was missing.
If Zhao Letong hadn't forced him to look for someone, Zhao Biao might not have taken it seriously.
Zhao Biao's expression was gloomy, and he whispered, "He's really not his biological child."
Zhao Letong: “…”
"Dad, this joke isn't funny at all. You're not going to disown your son just to shirk responsibility, are you?"
"Hey, why would Dad lie to you? I picked up your third brother. Your mother was also pregnant at the time, but the child died at birth. She was very sad. I wanted to use this child to replace your third brother, and your mother didn't know either."
[Hehe, for my mother's sake, you gave her a fake son. You're really good. What about my fourth brother? Was he also adopted?]
[You've been so ruthless towards my fourth brother that you're about to kick him out of the family. Could he be the son of an enemy?]
"How could this be? I only dare to treat him like this because he's my biological son. After all, he's my blood, and I feel completely at ease with what I'm doing. I gave birth to him, so any instruction I give him is not excessive."
"As for your third brother, I wouldn't dare be so rude. Ask your eldest brother. I treat your third brother the best. He's also good at studying, not martial arts, unlike the rest of the Zhao family."
"So your third brother took the imperial examination route and was entrusted with an important task by the emperor, serving as the governor of the country, supervising all officials."
"But this job is also very dangerous. After all, those corrupt officials are rich and powerful. If your third brother finds out anything, he will definitely be silenced."
"Your third brother has encountered many dangers over the years, and he has suffered the most losses among his guards. Sigh, it's also my fault. I should have not let him do this job in the first place."
Zhao Biao was a little annoyed, thinking that studying was good, and that passing the imperial examination would allow him to become a civil servant, which would be very stable. However, who would have thought that the emperor would take a liking to the third son because he came from a general's family and was stronger than ordinary scholars, and gave him the difficult job of governor.
At first, he only inspected a prefecture, and later an entire continent. After making repeated contributions, he was given the position of governor of the world. It can be said that among the four sons, the third one is the most promising, but also the most dangerous.
Calculating the time, the third brother hasn't been home for three years. Now something happened again. Zhao Biao couldn't help feeling guilty.
[Where was my third brother last seen? Finding him is important.]
Zhao Letong would not indulge in useless emotions. The person was just missing, not really dead. He would find out the truth first.
"Ningzhou, near the Ning King's fiefdom."
Zhao Letong's brows furrowed even further. "Prince Ning, you have a grudge against us. Chen Boyang's death is closely related to us. Will you take revenge on my third brother?"
"It's hard to say. I'll plead with the Emperor and ask him to send someone to look for your third brother."
Zhao Biao couldn't stay any longer. After all, this was the son he raised, and he was no different from his biological son. "I'm going to the palace now. You should eat well and rest early."
When Zhao Biao entered the palace, Zhao Letong was full of worries. It was the first time that her nephews saw her so silent, as if she had returned to her silly days.
"Auntie, did anyone make you angry?"
[No, I just have a poor appetite.]
Zhao Youning didn't believe it. His aunt was not good in any way except for her appetite. She never felt full no matter how much she ate.
"Does my aunt miss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhao Letong was stunned for a moment. [If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about Xiaoshan. He's back in the palace and living a good life now. Why would I miss him?]
Zhao Letong really didn't think about it. A little kid always forced himself to study and do homework like a little old man. What did he want him to do?
"Although Xiaoshan is the crown prince, there are many rules in the palace, and life may not be easy for him. Aren't you worried?"
Don't worry, Xiaoshan is smarter than you. He knows how to protect himself and eat. There's so much to think about. Children who think too much won't grow tall.
"My aunt is younger than me."
"I am your elder."
Zhao Letong finished his meal in a few bites and said, "I'm going back to rest. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
She wanted to go find her third brother in person, but the journey was long. Even though she had some Taoist skills and could draw a lot of talismans, the journey was still full of dangers.
If she doesn't show up, who can go to Prince Ning's territory to find the third brother?
It is impossible for the emperor to turn against Prince Ning for the sake of his third brother and break the current balance. My father will probably return empty-handed if he goes to the palace.
Zhao Letong asked about his third brother's birth date, calculated it with his fingers, and his expression became even uglier. "Third brother is in danger."
