Chapter 356: Knows Something About This
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
His expression darkened as he looked at his advisors.
Are they trying to cause trouble? If I really go against Qian Jiyun and have my father dismiss him, chaos will erupt at the southern border. Daqing Kingdom will not have peace.
I know this. Don’t underestimate me.
“Your Highness…”
“Your Highness…”
The advisors looked at each other and wanted to say a few more words to persuade him.
However, Prince De did not listen to them. He waved his arms impatiently.
“Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!”
He was vexed. Trying to survive between his father and Qian Jiyun was already difficult enough. What else did they want him to do? Slit his throat and commit suicide?
In the end, the advisors could not persuade Prince De and left dejectedly.
“Your Highness, should we still… prepare the carriage?” his guard asked softly.
He felt that His Highness was overthinking it. Given Qian Jiyun’s maturity, he would not take His Highness seriously.
“Actually, there’s no need for that, Your Highness. You can just go to the border and be an idle prince.”
Prince De looked at his guard as if he were looking at a fool.
Be an idle prince? Haha!
Would he actually be able to be an idle prince if he went to the border? Did the Emperor appoint these advisors for him for fun?
Everyone was eager to report to the Emperor everything that Prince De had said and done. Did he really think the Emperor doted on him?
“Wei Ran, you don’t understand.”
Didn’t Prince Lei Ting want to be an idle prince when he went to the border back then?
However, the truth was that some things were beyond their control. They could be forced to continue moving forward without stopping.
“Have you found out what happened over there?”
The guard, Wei Ran, scanned his surroundings and confirmed that there was no one else around before speaking, “I haven’t found out everything, but I’m sure of one thing.”
“Hm?” Prince De glanced at him sharply.
“The people working with Prince Lei Ting are not as simple as we think,” Wei Ran said.
People from Li Kingdom? They were only pretending to be from Li Kingdom.
What were their true identities? Investigating that was not easy. Even Prince Zhan Yun could not find out, right?
“I think Prince Zhan Yun knows something about this. On the surface, however, all of the information about Prince Lei Ting’s collaborators points to Li Kingdom.”
Prince De sneered.
He should have known. But only the heavens knew who Prince Lei Ting was really working with.
“Continue your investigation. We need to figure out who was behind Prince Lei Ting,” he instructed.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Wei Ran replied.
He would investigate this matter further. After all, it concerned his master.
If nothing had happened to Prince Lei Ting, the Emperor would not have ordered Prince De to head to the southern border.
Fortunately, the imperial edict did not specify when they had to set off. Prince De could stall for as long as he wanted.
“Your Highness, are you still going to hide outside for a while?” he asked.
Prince De looked up at the sky.
“It’s too late today. Go and prepare tomorrow morning. We’ll stay in the villa for a few days.”
He still had to leave and hide. But he was hiding from his father, not Qian Jiyun, of course.
Now that Qian Jiyun was back, the Emperor would immediately summon him to the palace and force him to set off for the southern border. If he did not hide quickly, he would be summoned to the palace soon.
