C363 Transactions by the Crown Prince (2/2)
”Is it because I'm worried that Miss Mu Rong will know about it?” Perhaps it was because of his attitude that Feng Qing was satisfied. He nodded his head, his voice was cold, but there was also a trace of helplessness in his voice, ”That's all I want. As for what you want, if I get what I want, I will let you get what you want. Available... ”If I am unable to fulfill my wish …” Feng Qing did not finish his words.
However, there was only coldness in Feng Qing's eyes.
The Fifth Prince couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw Feng Qing like this. He helped the crown prince because of this person's invitation. He wasn't as supported by the eight noble families as the sixth, nor as supported by the fourth. He was now the empress's adopted son. If the empress had no children, then the fourth would definitely be the empress's pillar of support.
As for third brother, third brother looked like royal father the most, but also had the same temperament as royal father. Besides Feng Qing, he was also the prince that royal father doted on the most. Even royal father didn't give third brother any title, for the sake of waiting for him to perform meritorious deeds in the future, so that he would have a better title.
All these years, many good things had happened because of him. If the Crown Prince didn't appear, then he would be the most dazzling. There were more people in the imperial court who were willing to help him. After all, which emperor didn't want his successor to be very similar to himself?
It was because of this that he couldn't compare to these brothers. As for Feng Qing? If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to fight for the throne and wasn't interested in everything, there wouldn't have been a chance for him and his brothers to fight for it.
Feng Qing was just fighting too late, but … In terms of being an emperor, he was the one with the most hope. Thus, even though he was now, he was still not interested in the throne. That was why he made the deal with him.
After giving him a chance to think like this, the Fifth Prince's eyes became serious, ”I will naturally do what my Royal Brother said, but I hope that at that time, my Royal Brother will not regret today's decision. After all, there are many times when authority can decide many things.”
”That's just an impression in your eyes. I am not interested in the coming month, nor in power. Since you have done what I wanted, I will be of the greatest help to you. This is my bottom line. ” Feng Qing said indifferently.
”Imperial brother, aren't you afraid that I'll fall out in the future?” The Fifth Prince couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Feng Qing heard this, he looked at him indifferently before he circled around the Fifth Prince and left. However, after Feng Qing left for a long time, the Fifth Prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how to describe that look, but he felt as if his entire body was being controlled at that moment. He even felt that his reaction speed had slowed down. This feeling made him unable to calm down.
The Fifth Prince also had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
After walking down the city wall, the Fifth Prince headed straight for a clinic. The infirmary was simple, and it was hidden in a small alley. If one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to find this place.
It would also make it difficult for the Fifth Prince to know of such a place. The person here was an old doctor. The doctor's eyes couldn't see anything, but after hearing the footsteps, he asked, ”Is Little Wu here?”
When he got to this point, the Fifth Prince's expression became friendly, and his voice even carried a trace of respect. He supported the old man in the small, dilapidated courtyard as he sat on the rattan chair outside of the courtyard. ”How did you know it would be me?” he asked.
”Lil 'Wu, your footsteps are different from ordinary people. This old man said before that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Although I am unable to see you, I can guess that you are.” The old man had a friendly face. A warm smile could be seen in his murky eyes.
The Fifth Prince didn't have the shrewdness to treat others right now. He also didn't have the scheming ability to do so. He only laughed and said, ”But I am also just an ordinary person. A person who can't even make his own choices. ”
”Xiao Wu, in fact, everyone's choice is to follow their own hearts. You are a good man. ” The old man said.
”Only you, uncle, would think so.”
”One day, someone will understand your suffering.”
”I hope that such a day will come.” The fifth prince's tone was very calm, and then he said, ”Uncle, I came today to ask you to take a look, I …” Was it poisoned? ” The Fifth Prince handed his hand to the old man as he spoke.
The old man was a bit surprised. He took the Fifth Prince's pulse and pressed it against his chest. His face slightly changed as he said: ”Little Wu, don't tell me you have offended someone from the other side?”
