Chapter 258 I didn’t
"I didn't! If you don't believe me, you can ask His Highness!"
Yan'er was holding a feather duster in her hand, and when the second prince turned his head, she smiled at him very gently.
"Ask, just ask! Don't I know how to see and hear?"
But the next second, a gust of wind blew past the second prince, and when he came to his senses, there was no figure behind him. This made him realize what such horror was.
Mr. Shen was really chased halfway across the mansion. After the woman calmed down, she appeared in front of him with a grin on her face. There were a few more marks on her face. She saluted him and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
The second prince hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Sir, you really opened my eyes."
Feng Jiuqing waved his hands and took a breath, "Hiss, Your Highness, please stop teasing me. Your Highness, please, let's talk in the hall."
After the servant served the tea, the second prince changed his previous leisurely attitude and said with a bitter face: "Sir, save me! My father was attacked by an assassin last night. Not only were his meridians interrupted, but his voice was also destroyed. He can't even speak."
"The third child was already a fish on the chopping board, just waiting for the emperor to cut him down with the knife. But now the emperor has become like this, and the third child's mother is the queen. His mother's family is powerful. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely kill me to eliminate future troubles!"
"Please sir, save me!"
"Is there such a thing?" Feng Jiuqing pretended to be shocked and thought for a while, then said softly: "Maybe there is a plan to save His Highness."
The second prince was immediately overjoyed and said, "Please give me some advice, sir."
Feng Jiuqing skimmed off the foam on the teacup and whispered, "I got the news that someone sent someone to assassinate Princess Songshan tonight. If you can save the princess and get the support of King Songshan, things may turn around."
The second prince frowned: "Sir, do you mean that father wants to kill the imperial aunt? Why? Father has always loved the imperial uncle very much, why would he kill the imperial aunt?"
"The Second Prince should know that the person who dislikes the Great Yue people sent someone to reprimand Your Highness yesterday, right? The person who wanted Your Highness to use Shen Qing to surrender to him, did Your Highness ever feel moved?"
The Second Prince looked dazed for a moment. When his father sent someone to reprimand him yesterday, he did think of using Shen Qing to win his father's favor.
But he received such news early this morning. If he really killed Shen Qing according to his father's wishes, he would soon follow in Shen Qing's footsteps.
The emperor is in this state now, no different from a useless person. Even if I gain his favor, it will be of no use.
So he came to the Shen residence as soon as possible, hoping that Shen Qing would give him some advice. He couldn't even submit a letter to pay respects to his father, as the court had been controlled by the mother and son.
In other words, my father is still alive and he is under house arrest. They haven't found any evidence against him, but this is not a solution.
"Sir, you are joking. I have always trusted you. How could I attack you?"
Feng Jiuqing was very calm. The Second Prince could not see any expression on his red and green face, so naturally he could not guess what Feng Jiuqing was thinking.
"He despises all the people of Great Vietnam. He thinks the princess has tarnished the bloodline of the Western Yan royal family, so he wants to kill her. Your Highness should go to Songshan Palace as soon as possible. If you are late, I am afraid that things will change."
The second prince nodded, immediately stood up and said: "I will go now."
Feng Jiuqing nodded and watched the second prince leave.
The third prince's mother's family is already on the way. The third prince will definitely launch a coup by tomorrow at the latest.
He asked the second prince to accuse the third prince of treason. The Emperor of Western Yan probably did not completely believe it, so he imprisoned the third prince in the palace.
Now that the Emperor of Western Yan had become like that, the news of the Third Prince's rebellion had not spread far, and most of the court officials did not know about it, thus giving the Third Prince an opportunity.
However, all this was within his expectations. If he didn't add fuel to the fire, there was no telling how long these people would continue to pretend to be nice before turning against each other. He was in no mood to continue wasting time with this group of people.
Two days later, all of the Third Prince's men were captured by King Songshan, and the Third Prince and the Queen committed suicide.
The second prince invited him into the palace and wanted to make him the imperial teacher.
Feng Jiuqing did not refuse. The play was not over yet, so he took Wuyou to live in the palace first, and all the treatments were in accordance with the first-rank officials of the current dynasty.
As a result, that night, the Second Prince, who was originally scheduled to ascend the throne the next day, died at the hands of the Fourth Prince at the celebration banquet. Everything happened so suddenly that even Shadow didn't have time to stop it.
After the Fourth Prince killed the Second Prince, he had them all surrounded. He smiled and sat on the dragon throne, sighing comfortably.
"Don't waste your time. I have basically persuaded my second brother's people to rebel. If you are willing to serve me as the emperor, I don't mind sparing your lives."
The people he surrounded looked at each other in bewilderment. The fourth prince laughed and said, "If you want to resist to the end, then I'll be sorry. Kill!"
"Wait!"
Feng Jiuqing smiled at the Fourth Prince, who also laughed: "Mr. Shen, do you have any other insights? You might as well speak up. The Emperor's uncle was sent by the Second Brother to wipe out the Third Brother's remnants, and he won't be back for a while. I've heard that Mr. Shen has a plan that is never missed, and I also want to know if Mr. Shen has planned until today, hahahaha!"
Feng Jiuqing still had a perfect smile on his face: "Thank you for your praise, Fourth Prince. Shen Qing is just a businessman and does not deserve your praise. But, Third Prince..."
"two--"
"puff--"
The fourth prince suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and spat out a mouthful of black blood. He glared at Feng Jiuqing and asked, "You poisoned me?"
Feng Jiuqing hurriedly shook his head: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
The fourth prince endured the pain and said, "Why don't you go and call the imperial physician?"
Feng Jiuqing said calmly: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you were hit by the Heartbreak Grass, there is no cure."
"puff--"
When the Fourth Prince vomited blood, blood also started to flow from all his seven orifices, scaring the people below so much that they were at a loss as to what to do.
"You still say it's not you? You even know what kind of poison I have. Who else could it be if not you? Someone, kill him for me!"
"slow."
Feng Jiuqing said softly: "It's really not me, it's His Royal Highness the Second Prince. The Fourth Prince doesn't think that you can hide everything from His Royal Highness, right? His Royal Highness originally wanted to poison you at this banquet, but who knew that you would kill him first."
"But before you killed him, you drank the poisoned wine from His Highness."
Feng Jiuqing spoke very calmly. The Fourth Prince was furious, but after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he fell on the dragon throne and died with his eyes open.
Feng Jiuqing kept his merits and fame hidden and quietly played the role of a mascot. The guards who originally came to kill Feng Jiuqing did not do so because of the death of the Fourth Prince.
The civil and military officials at the celebration banquet were all stunned. In less than an incense stick of time, both princes were dead, and now only the imprisoned eldest prince was left.
The Fourth Prince's men glared at Feng Jiuqing fiercely, and the other ministers also whispered dejectedly, and finally reached a consensus to welcome the imprisoned eldest prince back to the palace.
