26 Chapter 26 The Restless Second Prince (1/2)
While Lin Xulian and Feng Jun Yi are bonding and strengthening their relationship, the second prince on the other hand is throwing and breaking his precious vases and furniture. He is so furious after listening to the report of one of his spies placed in the Lin Manor. ”That's all?! So what if that Lin Xulian is gorgeous as an angel or a strong martial artist or talented in medicine. That wasn't what this prince wants to know! I want to know their dirt. Something that we could use to connect to Jun Yi and ruin him. The citizens favor him too much. We need something to put a crack on their trust. Trust is a fragile thing, remember that.”
Feng Jun Yu can't understand why Feng Jun Yi is so lucky. He could always survive any assassination attempt he threw at him. This time he found a woman with extraordinary background to marry. Previously, he was puzzled how Feng Jun Yi survived the last assassination. It was the most well planned they ever attempted. But discovering that Lin Xulian is a physician, he had a rough idea of what had happened.
In addition to his hatred towards Feng Jun Yi, the second prince also felt jealous. He had no idea how beautiful this Lin Xulian is, but having such capable and talented woman as a wife is really a blessing. It would be much better if he could also have such woman by his side. 'Maybe if I have enough power I can have the beauty all to myself as well.' Feng Jun Yu has a lecherous expression on his face. Even though he has a wife and a few concubines, the second prince is also a frequent patron in every brothel in the capital.
”Your highness, earlier today the emperor visited the Lin manor and I witnessed something unimaginable. Towards Lin Xulian, the emperor smiled.” The spy said confidently with a mysterious smile.
”So what if he smiled?! What does his happiness have anything good for me?!” Feng Jun Yu bellowed furiously.
”Your highness, what I mean is it proves that the woman has a place in the emperor's heart. If we target her instead of the emperor directly, it will affect him greatly. If we kill her, the emperor will not only lose a great ally but also hurt him emotionally.”
Hearing this, Feng Jun Yu has a thoughtful expression. ”We don't need to kill her. Just ask someone to kidnap her and bring her to me.”
The spy was puzzled. ”Your highness, may this servant ask what do you have in mind?”
”What would hurt a man more? Seeing their beloved dead or getting her stolen right under his nose? Once the rice is cooked, you can never uncook it. If I make that Lin Xulian my woman before their marriage, her background and skills will be mine.” Feng Jun Yu smiles lecherously. He is considered a handsome seductive man. But no one in the capital doesn't know how brutal he is towards women. Even his concubines end up black and blue after he is done with them. Only his wife, Xia Ruzhi had a better treatment.
”But your highness, getting someone alive is much more difficult than getting them killed. Her brothers are constantly around her protecting their sister like a wall.” Hearing Feng Jun Yu's plan, the spy is worried and scared. Who among the people in the continent didn't know how ruthless the people of Lin Mercenary clan is. ”Also your highness, if you touch their young miss wouldn't they get you back. If we assassinate her and do it cleanly, we can avoid the suspicion and blame. But if you continue your plan, they would know you are behind it.”
”Do you think they would risk their young miss' reputation? The only outcome would be marrying her to me instead of the incapable emperor, won't you agree?”
The spy is still doubtful. The plan is beautiful but executing it is a bit tricky. ”Your highness I still think this won't work.”
Feng Jun Yu frowned. He took a porcelain vase and throw it towards the spy then furiously said. ”Why would I need you then?! Prove to me that you are capable and make it happen!”
Fresh blood drenched the spy's head caused by the vase. He remained silent and just lowered his head. Although reluctant, he still acknowledged Feng Jun Yu's plan and thought of ways to execute them.
