Chapter 301 Taking advantage of the situation
"Yes, I just woke up today. Not long after I woke up, I received the news that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was corrupt. Now I'm angry." Lin Congyun nodded, with a bit of sadness on his face.
The Seventh Prince was extremely shocked. No wonder his second brother was so anxious. It turned out that their father had woken up.
But it’s better this way. Now that the emperor has woken up, the eldest prince will no longer dare to openly win over officials.
The matter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue can be put to good use.
Thinking about something in his mind, the Seventh Prince casually said a few words to Lin Congyun and then left the study.
Looking at the seventh prince's leaving back, a hint of doubt flashed in Lin Congyun's eyes.
She always felt that the Seventh Prince was hiding something from her, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
After leaving the study, the Seventh Prince did not return to the guest room, but went straight out of the Second Prince's Mansion and walked towards a remote house.
This house was given to him by the man in black, who told him to come here to find him if he had any problems.
As soon as the Seventh Prince walked into the house, he saw the man in black waiting there.
"How are things going?" the man in black asked the seventh prince.
"It's going well. My second brother has already believed me." The Seventh Prince looked at the man in black and said, "But I just got news that my father has woken up."
"What? The emperor is awake?" Upon hearing the news, the man in black showed a look of shock on his face.
Now that the emperor has woken up, won’t their plan fail?
No, they can't just sit there and wait for death, they must act quickly.
Thinking of this, the man in black looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "We must act as soon as possible. When you go back, find a way to get the Second Prince to tell you about his power, and then..."
The man in black leaned close to the Seventh Prince's ear and whispered something, then he stood up, looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Do you understand?"
The Seventh Prince nodded upon hearing this, "I understand."
"Very good, then let's do as we said just now." The man in black looked at the seventh prince and said solemnly.
The Seventh Prince nodded, then turned and left the house.
When the Seventh Prince was at the corner of the street, a figure walked out and looked in the direction where the Seventh Prince had left, as if thinking about something.
At night, in the study of the Second Prince’s mansion.
Fang Xinfeng, who was not wearing the human skin mask, sat opposite Lin Congyun. "Grandmother, who do you think the man in black who met with the Seventh Prince could be?"
"It's hard to judge at the moment..." Lin Congyun shook his head, pondered for a while, looked up at Fang Xinfeng and said, "However, we can start with the Seventh Prince. He will reveal his true colors eventually."
"Yeah, I think so too." Fang Xinfeng nodded, "But the Seventh Prince has been staying here all the time, so some things are hard to investigate..."
At this point, Fang Xinfeng suddenly thought of something, looked at Lin Congyun and said, "Grandmother, do you think the Seventh Prince has noticed something and is deliberately stalling for time here?"
"It's possible." Lin Congyun pondered for a while and said, "Well, have someone follow him secretly and see if they can find any clues."
"Okay." Fang Xinfeng nodded, then stood up and left the study.
Lin Congyun looked at Fang Xinfeng's leaving back, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
Feng'er has really grown up and can handle many things on his own.
In the following days, the Seventh Prince stayed in the Second Prince's residence and never left.
Fang Xinfeng also had people secretly follow the Seventh Prince, but after a few days, they found nothing.
Just when Fang Xinfeng was about to give up, the guard came to report that the Seventh Prince had secretly met someone.
"Oh? Who did he meet?" Fang Xinfeng became interested immediately and asked the guard.
"A man in black, whose face cannot be seen clearly." The guard said truthfully.
"Man in black?" Fang Xinfeng frowned slightly when he heard that. Who could it be?
Thinking of this, Fang Xinfeng looked at the guard and asked, "What did they say?"
"Because they are too far away, I can't hear clearly what they are saying." The guard lowered his head in shame.
"It's okay, just keep watching and report immediately if anything happens." Fang Xinfeng ordered.
"Yes." The guard responded and turned and left.
Fang Xinfeng stood quietly in the courtyard, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate the thick fog. He stared at the guard's departing back, thinking secretly in his heart.
The Seventh Prince's actions eventually revealed an unknown flaw.
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this Seventh Prince.
He laughed secretly in his heart, this clue was the tail of the cunning rabbit, once caught, it would not be allowed to hide in the dark again.
Thinking of this, Fang Xinfeng curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, then turned around and went out to the Second Prince's Mansion.
The Third Prince had been recuperating in his own house these days, so Fang Xinfeng pretending to be a servant in the Third Prince's house did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Grandmother, the Seventh Prince is moving." Fang Xinfeng said in a low voice, looking at Lin Congyun lying on the couch.
"Oh? What did he do?" Lin Congyun became interested immediately after hearing that. He sat up and looked at Fang Xinfeng and asked.
"He secretly met a man in black." Fang Xinfeng said truthfully, "I couldn't see his face clearly, and I don't know what they said."
"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this Seventh Prince." Lin Congyun sneered, "You continue to have people keep an eye on him, and report any situation immediately."
"Yes." Fang Xinfeng responded and left the room.
The Seventh Prince always thought that he had done everything perfectly, but he didn't know that his every move was under the control of Fang Xinfeng and the Second Prince.
A few days later, the Seventh Prince secretly met the man in black again.
"How is it? The second prince is not suspicious, right?" The man in black looked at the seventh prince and asked in a low voice.
"No, he trusts me very much." The Seventh Prince shook his head, "But we have to act as soon as possible, otherwise we will be exposed sooner or later."
"Well, I have already made the arrangements. We will take action tomorrow night." The man in black looked at the Seventh Prince and said solemnly, "When you go back, find a way to lure the Second Prince out of the city. The rest will be left to us."
"Okay." The Seventh Prince nodded, "I will take care of this."
The conversation between the Seventh Prince and the man in black was heard clearly by Fang Xinfeng in the dark.
After learning about the plan of the Seventh Prince and the man in black, a cold light flashed in Fang Xinfeng's eyes.
They really wanted to attack the Second Prince.
However, they won't succeed as long as he's around!
Thinking of this, Fang Xinfeng turned and left the yard.
After arriving at the Second Prince's residence, Fang Xinfeng told Lin Congyun the news he had heard.
After learning about the conspiracy of the Seventh Prince and the man in black, Lin Congyun and Fang Xinfeng decided to take advantage of the situation.
