Chapter 297: Vinegar

Mai Dongzi understood Prince Arthur's affectation. As the heir apparent to a country, whether he was in power or not, it would be fine if he had convincing evidence to treat his brothers. However, if he had no evidence that could be made public, it would be too cruel and would give people the impression that he was not a legitimate ruler, which would be very detrimental to his future rule.

So Prince Arthur first ruined his reputation in front of his clansmen, letting everyone know that he was a fool who ignored the overall situation and cared about his own selfish desires. Serving as the king of a country would lead the country to a dead end and cut off the possibility of other clansmen supporting him to take the throne.

Although people are likely to disregard everything for the sake of their own interests, in most cases, people still value successors with good character, especially in such turbulent times.

Although Prince Arthur's behavior was a little softer, a person who was loyal to his relatives was always more popular than a cruel person.

Therefore, after Prince Arthur did this, his relatives who were originally on his side would be even more on his side.

Even if you are someone bribed by Prince Ali, when you see Prince Arthur publicly stating that although I don't have enough evidence, I know what happened, and I'll let you go this time because you're my brother, but I won't be soft-hearted next time, you have to think twice before doing anything.

"This kind of person who doesn't consider the current situation or the consequences will not stop attacking you again just because you let him off this time," said Mai Dongzi.

She had no objection to Prince Arthur's actions, because she herself was a person with a very strong stance, and she hated people who abused their power for personal gain and committed crimes.

Once the superiors start to abuse their power, the people below will become even more corrupt.

Only when those in power strictly and fairly abide by the law can they lead their subordinates to strictly abide by the law and serve the country sincerely, which in turn will influence the morale of the people and make it possible for the entire country to prosper.

"Don't worry, I won't make this mistake again." Prince Arthur said.

In order to prevent Mai Dongzi from feeling uneasy, he analyzed the matter to her.

The reason why he was caught this time was because the palace was not under his control at that time.

Although King 녢加 handed over most of the power to him, King 녢加 still held some power in his hands. The palace was controlled by the king's guards.

There are not only the father and son in the palace, but also Queen Du and other princes and princesses.

The thing that King 녢 of Canada can't tolerate most among the princes and princesses is sibling quarrels.

Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Prince Arthur could not interfere too much in the security of the palace, so as not to offend the King of Canada.

Since King Arija was no longer here, he was the actual owner of the palace, and the security was naturally under the control of Prince Arthur. No matter what Prince Ari wanted to do, he would be discovered as soon as he moved.

After listening to Prince Arthur's analysis, Mai Dongzi felt relieved and told him another important matter.

"I heard a piece of news from Ren Guang the other day, and then I heard from the students I'm familiar with in the Conductor Department that Erica had a secret relationship with Princess Mary at the beginning of last year." Mai Dongzi said.

Prince Arthur thought for a moment: "My people discovered that Ari and Erica were in close contact a month ago."

"She should have been with Prince Yari for longer than this. Princess Mary was most likely the one who pushed her and Prince Yari together." Mai Dongzi analyzed.

Prince Arthur nodded in agreement.

"In this poisoning incident, Erica was not harmed at all." Mai Dongzi felt very regretful.

Prince Arthur also said with regret: "Negri may have been on guard against this matter being discovered, and brought Erica here early. Erica really has never participated in this matter, but it is impossible to say that she was unaware. You must also be extremely careful about her and the people around her. She must hate you very much."

He wanted to deal with Erica more than anyone else because she was the biggest threat to Mai Dongzi, but unfortunately he didn't have any evidence at all.

Mai Dongzi nodded. No matter how Prince Arthur reminded her, her parents and Mai Zixuan were already guarding against Erica as if they were guarding against something else.

"I'm looking for the Moonlight System today..." Mai Dongzi had just said the word Moonlight System when she saw Prince Arthur looking at her strangely. She couldn't figure out what this look meant for a while.

"Do you keep in touch with him?" asked Prince Arthur.

"No, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with him?" Mai Dongzi asked somewhat confusedly. Now she was sure that Prince Arthur was a little unhappy.

As far as she knew, the Yue family was on Prince Arthur's side, and Yue Guangxi was the young master of the Yue family. He should not have done anything to betray Prince Arthur. Why was Prince Arthur so unhappy when he heard his name?

"No, please continue." Prince Arthur's eyes returned to normal.

Although Mai Dongzi thought he was a little strange, now was not the time to discuss this because she had something important to say.

"Because Moonlight and Princess Mary are classmates, I sent a message to Moonlight this morning, hoping that he could help me find out whether Princess Mary is often with Erica, and whether Princess Mary's behavior at school is inappropriate. It turned out to be true. Although Princess Mary and Erica don't meet often, they often talk on the phone. Over the past year or so, I have been concentrating on training and cultivating them, and I paid little attention to the movements of other people in the school. I thought Erica was honest and wanted to be a good person." Mai Dongzi said.

Prince Arthur nodded. After making sure that Mai Dongzi was safe, he didn't dare to let anyone continue to pay attention to Mai Dongzi's whereabouts. He was afraid that if the two of them might be together in the future, Mai Dongzi would find out that he had someone monitor her and get angry.

But there were still people around her, so he was still clear about what she was doing in school.

The people around would naturally pay attention to Princess Mary, but in their reports, there was no mention of Princess Mary and Erica being close. If these two people were really close, they would have done it secretly without letting anyone know.

There must be something fishy going on. If someone wants to do something shameful, he or she would not dare to show it to others. Otherwise, who would say anything if a princess and a noble lady were to interact with him openly?

"Moonlight personally went to question the girl next to Princess Mary, and then he sent me all the records of his conversation with the girl. I found some very interesting things in it." Mai Dongzi said.

Prince Arthur raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue, but Mai Dongzi did not say anything. Instead, she sent him some information and asked him to figure it out on his own.

After reading the information, Prince Arthur quickly understood. He said with some meaning but not quite, "You think Mary wants to be queen."
