In the Yongning Palace, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a bright red python robe, with a bronze face and cold eyes, was staring at Liu Changchun who was kneeling on the ground.
"I deserve to die. I deserve to die." Liu Changchun fell to his knees, his head banging loudly.
"He escaped again. You guys have ruined the king's plans. You deserve to die." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.
"I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Liu Changchun didn't dare to look up.
"Have the tasks of the East Hall and the West Hall been completed?" King Yongning changed the subject and asked other questions.
Liu Changchun continued to lower his head, "The mission is accomplished. General Xue and General Yang's grandsons have all been transferred."
After half a year of planning, we have finally accomplished something big, which is good news.
King Yongning nodded with satisfaction, "Generals, do you realize that it was your people who did it?"
Liu Changchun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't noticed anything yet. All the people involved have been killed."
“Okay… okay… okay…”
King Yongning said yes three times. As long as he had the grandsons of General Xue and General Yang in his hands, he would be able to threaten or bribe the two generals in the future.
I have the military power of the capital and the north in my hands. What can my good third and fourth brothers use to fight against me?
Even if the two generals find out that I did it in the future, I will probably have ascended to the supreme throne by then, so what?
King Yongning was full of confidence.
"Pass the order down, take good care of the two young masters, and don't neglect them."
"yes!"
It’s a pity that Chen Taihong, who was part of this plan, escaped. If he could have been caught or killed, things would have been much easier.
King Yongning glared at Liu Changchun fiercely again.
Liu Changchun seemed to sense King Yongning's murderous intent towards him. He was so scared that he fell to the ground and continued to kowtow.
"Your Highness, there is news from the capital." Liu Yuyi walked in hurriedly.
Liu Yuyi glanced at Liu Changchun lying on the ground and was secretly happy.
This kid is allowed to show off his power every day, doing shady things for the prince and claiming to be the prince's confidant.
This time things went wrong and he deserved to be punished.
"What news?" Prince Yongning stood up. Everything in the capital city was of particular concern to him.
"The emperor is ill." Liu Changshi handed the letter to the prince.
Prince Yongning read the letter without saying a word.
After a long while, Prince Yongning raised his head and looked at Liu Changchun, "Just now you said that the people from Beitang found Chen Taihong in Bingzhou? Was he heading to the capital?"
Liu Changchun answered honestly, "Yes."
"Xiao Tai went to the capital?"
"I'm afraid so."
“…”
If something bad were to happen, Prince Yongning knew that, given his father's love for Xiaotai, he might love his father as well and pass the throne to his third brother.
Or, the emperor could bypass his generation and pass the throne directly to Xiao Tai.
It’s all the fault of this useless person. Letting Xiaotai run away is like letting a tiger return to the mountain.
"Have the envoys to Western Turkestan returned?" King Yongning still had one last trump card, relying on the power of foreign races.
But that would undoubtedly be courting disaster, but at the last moment, King Yongning was unwilling to take this step.
"Your Highness, Mr. Li has not returned yet, but he should be back soon." Liu Changshi replied.
…
No one outside knew what happened in the palace.
Qian Chunhua brought her three children back home. Seeing the four of them coming back, Qian Li brought out the meal that she had prepared in the morning.
There was really some meat on the bone, and it was quite substantial. Qian Chunhua felt like she was not her biological daughter.
"Mom, isn't Xingshan back yet?" Qian Chunhua looked around but didn't see her brother.
