CH 54.3

Wei Yunzhao asked respectfully, "This official is stupid, the second prince can tell this official what kind of information that shouldn’t be leaked."

The second prince pointed at Wei Yunzhao, "Wei Yunzhao, don't play stupid in front of Bendian, you understand what Bendian said."

"Yes," Wei Yunzhao responded.

But the second prince felt that he was perfunctory, and he was angry, "Wei Yunzhao, Bendian really regrets not getting rid of you earlier."

The killing intent was clearly on his face.

Wei Yunzhao thanked respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."

"Hmph, don't play this game with Bendian," the second prince walked up to Wei Yunzhao, kicked his leg, but Wei Yunzhao didn't move.

The second prince looked at him contemptuously, "The imperial doctor hasn't come to the mansion for a long time, it seems that you can only be a waste for the rest of your life."

The second prince bent down and approached Wei Yunzhao, "It's not good to know too much, today Bendian  is giving you a warning and also giving you a way to survive, even if you expose everything, Bendian can still kill you."

"Wei Yunzhao, it's not just Bendian who wants you to die, "The second prince kicked Wei Yunzhao's leg again, harder than before, "I can do it myself."

After the second prince finished speaking, he turned around and left, followed by Xiao Yang.

When the person walked away, Jiang Lin squatted in front of Wei Yunzhao and rubbed his legs, "Does it hurt?"

Wei Yunzhao shook his head lightly, "It doesn't hurt." It was just a kick, which was nothing compared to the swords without eyes in the battlefield. He was used to the pain, so this kick was nothing.

Jiang Lin pressed hard on the spot where the second prince had kicked. Wei Yunzhao didn't pay attention, and subconsciously hissed.

Jiang Lin laughed, "I knew there is something wrong with your leg, Wei Yunzhao, when will you stand up?"

Wei Yunzhao didn't hide it, "It can't be now, I still have a lot of things to do," if he stood up now , he couldn't do anything.

"Okay," Jiang Lin rolled up Wei Yunzhao's trouser, there were scars on his leg, the second prince's kick was really ruthless.

Jiang Lin blew at the scar, very dissatisfied with the second prince, "I thought he should at least have a begging attitude when he came today, but he still dared to kick your leg, did he think he died too slowly?"

Not only Jiang Lin who thought so, Xiao Yang, who followed the second prince back home, thought the same, "Didn't Your Highness come to ask Wei Yunzhao not to leak the information that shouldn't be leaked, why did you still make a move?" He was puzzled.

The second prince snorted, "I’m a majestic prince, do you still want me to humiliate myself i front of a fifth-rank official? Bendian was already giving him face by coming to the door in person. If he is not knowledgeable and it doesn’t need Bendian to take action, someone will directly take his life."

Xiao Yang saw the second prince glanced towards the direction of the palace, and instantly understood, "Your Highness mean the emperor?"

The second prince smiled, "No matter how wrong Bendian is, Bendian is still a prince. If father realizes the intention of Bendian, it's only natural to move me, but if others pass him and want to pull down Bendian, it means they don’t think of him as the emperor in their eyes, Bendian’s good father can't tolerate anyone challenging his imperial power."

Not to mention the the matter of two meirens before, the one his father suspected the most was the Wei family.

Even if there was only one cripple left in the Wei family, it was still a serious concern for his father.

The second prince said: "If the two of them are sensible enough to stop here, they can still live a cheap life, otherwise..."

Otherwise..., the second prince didn't say anything, but otherwise it would be a terrible tragedy.

After hearing what the second prince said, Xiao Yang was still very worried, "But Your Highness, if Wei Yunzhao refuses to stop, will His Highness be dragged into the water even if he dies?"

This was the situation that the Second Prince didn’t want to see the most, that was why he came to Wei mansion today.

Hundreds of people were killed, and private soldiers were plotting rebellion. No one could save him after all these charges were charged. Wei Yunzhao was dead, but he was also abolished.

However, good things never came in pairs. After returning to the mansion, the butler told the second prince, " Mr. Zhou, Zhou Shangcheng asked to see Your Highness, and the little one has already asked Mr. Zhou to wait in the front hall."

"Yes," the second prince said with his hands behind his back

. Walking in the living room, this Zhou family had been his people from the beginning, but except for Zhou Shangcheng, they were all wastes who would only slow him down, and couldn't handle small things well.

The second prince thought about Yin Ji who requested to investigate the disappearance some people and the quarry cases thoroughly in the court today, so he knew in his heart, the thing that the Zhou family did last time offended Yin Ji.

Zhou Shangcheng naturally knew what the second prince was angry about, so he quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, I have something important to report today."

The second prince gave him a faint look, "Speak."

"Your Highness, the person sent by Xiaguan to the cell didn't dare to do anything, he said that my younger sister sensed his intentions and said two words to him, Deng... Dengzhou."

[下 xià: below, lower; 官 guān: government official, official]

Dengzhou was the deepest secret hidden by the second prince. As long as there was no evidence, nothing could be done to him, but if the evidence was revealed, the consequences... Zhou Shangcheng could hardly imagine.

When the second prince heard about Dengzhou, his whole body exploded, and Xiao Yang's sword had already reached Zhou Shangcheng's neck.

The eyes of the second prince who wanted to kill fell on Zhou Shangcheng, "How could she know about Dengzhou, Zhou Shangcheng, you are so courageous!"

Although he had expected to bear the anger of the second prince, Zhou Shangcheng was still terrified when it really came, "Your Highness , Xiaguan...Xiaguan has never mentioned Dengzhou's matter to anyone. Xiaguan suspects that she learned about it from the Wei family. She failed in Yin's house that day, and Jiang Lin took her back to Wei mansion for questioning before sending her to the government office."
