CH 97.2
Chapter 97.2 – Straight to the Point
News of King Wu’s accident quickly spread throughout the capital. King of Wei was delighted when he first learned of it, but he became scared once he calmed down.
Today, there were only a few princes left. Within a short period of time, some were abandoned, and some disappeared. Now, only he and the Crown Prince remained standing in the court.
King Wei naturally knew that he never attacked his brothers, and he didn’t have the ability to take them out one by one in the first place. At the same time, he didn’t believe that there could be such a coincidence, so who could have done it?
The answer seemed clear, especially when King Chu was taken down by Lu Qipei. It was obvious.
King Wei couldn’t help but worry. After what happened to King Wu, what could be waiting for him?
He talked with the aides in his mansion, and after discussing for a while, he felt even more desperate. The Crown Prince was calm and dignified, courteous and wise. He had managed his image too well.
Even when Lu Qipei took down King Chu, it was King Chu who asked for trouble first, and no one could say anything about it. Other people would not believe that the Crown Prince attacked King Qi and King Wu, so as the only one remaining to benefit from it, naturally he would carry the blame!
After being told this by his aides, King Wei was so aggrieved that he almost cried. But crying was useless, and no one would believe him. Not only would he have to carry the blame, he also had to prevent the Crown Prince from attacking him. Things were simply the worst.
While King Wei was huddled in his mansion, wanting to cry but tears wouldn’t come out, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei was already discussing countermeasures with the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace.
Sitting by the side, Lu Qipei listened to Qi Yang and the Crown Prince’s conversation. “Royal Brother, it’s unusual for the kings to encounter accidents one after the other. Right now, Royal Brother Wu’s situation is not good, and the only remaining Royal Brother Wei should be protected more.”
King Wei was still alive, so naturally he would bear all the blame. With the Crown Prince’s good reputation, no one would point fingers at him first. But if King Wei was also gone, then some people would spread rumors that the Crown Prince killed all his siblings.
At that time, the officials would be suspicious, and a rift would appear in the relationship between father and son. The Crown Prince’s situation would be a thousand times more difficult than now, and the court situation would be unstable.
The three of them could see the matter clearly, and the Crown Prince nodded in assent. He would think more about the matters of the court in the future, and he privately planned on sending some people to guard King Wei in case he was attacked by others. He even planned to send some people to watch King Chu and King Qi.
Of course, this matter could not be hidden from the Emperor, because doing so would raise doubts about himself.
On this matter, the Crown Prince and Qi Yang easily reached an agreement. At this moment, Lu Qipei spoke and said, “Aside from the King of Wei and other princes, Your Highness should also be careful.”
Hearing this, the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and asked, “Does the Prince Consort think that I would be the next target?'”
Lu Qipei’s expression remained unchanged as she looked at the Crown Prince, “Don’t you think so, Your Highness? Let’s not mention the matter of King Chu for now, let’s say it was just an accident. But neither King Qi nor King Wu was your doing, so who made the move? King Wei?”
The Crown Prince shook his head. Of course he had doubts about King Wei, but whether it was the results of his investigation or his own judgment, he didn’t believe that this series of situation could be set up by King Wei.
To put it bluntly, If he really had this capability, it was impossible for him to remain unknown for so many years. And even if he was the one who set this up, he wouldn’t have been so anxious to make the timing happen so close to each other.
Looking at it this way, the Crown Prince would be under more suspicion for having made the move. After all, his body was weak now, and he was more pressed for time than his healthy brothers. As for motivation, his brothers coveted the position reserved for him, so would he need any other motivation?
I’m afraid that some people would have already thought this way in private.
Of course, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang would not suspect the Crown Prince, so when they saw him shaking his head, Lu Qipei said, “Since Your Highness doesn’t think it’s King Wei, what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes who did this? Or in other words, since he can take action against the other princes, why does Your Highness think that you would be the exception? It’s not like someone would do this to pledge their loyalty to Your Highness, right?”
Of course, the Crown Prince had also thought about it. His expression hardened as he looked at Lu Qipei, saying, “Take out the kings and princes one by one, leave them stranded in injustice, and make Liang lack successors. se princesses have all thought about it. His expression condensed and he looked at Lu Qipei, saying, ‘Reduce all the kings and princesses one by one, leave them alone in the land of injustice, and make the country of Liang lack successors. He’s after Liang’s power, right?”
He really had a daring guess, and he was really straight to the point. What shocked the two event more was the Crown Prince’s next sentence. His eyes were bright and he said in an almost certain tone, “It’s Xie Yuan, isn’t it?”
Author notes:
Lu Qipei (shuddering): Is my alt account1 going to be exposed soon?
Qi Yang (tightening the vest1): Prince Consort, tighten it up quickly. Don’t admit anything!
