C273 (1/2)
This time, Jin Chupei and the rest did not stay at the relay station with the same high profile as before. Instead, they entered the house that was set up in Ruan City a long time ago, a nail that had never been used before.
It was a very ordinary house, located at the east side of Ruan City.
This position was excellent. It would not be too far away from the imperial family's mansion on the north side of the city, nor would it be too far away from the business center on the south side of the city.
This time, Jin Chupei did not leave any leeway for Sima Yuzhu. Once he returned to Ruan City, he immediately sent people to look for Sima Hong for her secret meeting.
Sima Hong looked at the towering restaurant in front of him. There was an old acquaintance who was said to be waiting for him there.
He was somewhat surprised.
He had asked who the person who sent the message was, but it was obvious that the person did not want to reveal his identity before meeting him. He even said something that would make his heart beat, so he had no choice but to go.
”Prince Charming, why don't this subordinate take your place?”
His subordinate, Qin Guan, was very loyal and was afraid that Sima Hong would encounter danger. Because the day before yesterday, when Third Prince was outside the city riding his horse, he fell off his horse due to fright. He heard that his foot was broken and he kowtowed to the horse, causing him to still be unconscious.
Now that the First Prince was no longer present, it was no longer possible for them to fight for the throne.
The other princes were all cowards, and this matter was supposed to be a good thing for Sima Hong. However, this morning, in the Palace, Qin Guan found quite a few cowardly people and some people were even plotting something.
He spread out his methods and caught a few people. He said that they were being bribed to harm Canton Hong's life.
Therefore, Qin Guan felt that he had no choice but to be on guard.
”I don't know who he is, but he is definitely not my enemy.” Sima Hong believed in his perception.
He was willing to go for a walk.
”Then this subordinate will accompany Canton.”
”The letter says that I'm the only one who can go there. You just wait outside. Don't worry, if there's anything, I'll yell. Moreover, I'm not the only one who can protect myself.”
Qin Guan was helpless, yes, in the past few days, too many things had happened in Ruan City, but he was too worried about Sima Hong's safety, so he neglected Sima Hong, who was not a useless person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed by his side and advised him.
In fact, if it was possible, and Sima Hong really had a chance, then the Easternum would probably not be like she was now.
He was so weak that he was bullied everywhere, and he was always making up for it.
couldn't help but think that Sima Hong had already gone up to the third floor.
”Prince Charming, please come in.”
A waiter had long guided him into the room.
There was a person wearing purple silk inside. He was tall and had black hair that was tied together with a purple jade crown. He had an imposing manner.
Although Sima Hong did not see his face, he had already recognized the person in front of him.
”Sixth Prince... Why is it you … ”You haven't gone out yet?” He was somewhat surprised.
He couldn't help but be shocked. Obviously, he had personally watched them board the carriage and head towards Daylight Mountain that day.
But now he was back.
”Yes.” Jin Chupei slowly turned around.
”Sixth Prince returned, but if anything happened, I can help you. If there is something I can do, I am definitely willing to do it for you.”
Sima Hong's words were very polite.
No matter what, he couldn't offend Jin Chupei, he was his benefactor after all.
Moreover, there were no benefits in offending him. It would be better to build a good relationship with him and benefit from his great achievements.
Jin Chupei didn't have much of an impression towards Sima Hong's friendly attitude, he only looked at him seriously.
Ye Zichen waved his hand and summoned the Thunderclap.
”Tell the Prince Charming what we found out earlier.”
Before he began to speak, Sima Hong at least knew that Sima Yuzhu was the mastermind.
Otherwise, if he said that he was going to dry up, he was afraid that he was still ignorant.
Thunder answered and then told Sima Hong everything in a clear and orderly manner.
His voice was calm and soothing.
However, the content of his words scared Sima Hong to the point that he was drenched all over.
He didn't want to show fear in front of Jin Chupei, so he endured it and forced himself to calm down. But... He really couldn't control his flustered heartbeat.
”You all … Is everything you said true? ”
Could it be that the matters concerning the prince that happened in the Easternum were really related to that good cousin of his?
”Do you not believe in me, or do you not believe that Sima Yuzhu has that kind of ambition?”
Sima Hong should have been able to tell that Sima Yuzhu carried some ulterior motives. After all, he had her own methods as well.
When the same person looked at the same person, they would always have a different feeling.
”I can see some of it, but I never expected her to have such a positive idea and her movements to be so quick. It was so fast that he couldn't react in time and couldn't stop her in the slightest.”
”Are you willing?” Jin Chupei slowly opened his mouth only after he saw that Sima Hong had completely believed in what he had said.
Of course, Sima Hong was unwilling, but what could he do if he was unwilling?
”Of course I don't want to, but you know what? You had only left for a few days, yet Sima Yuzhu had already crippled Third Prince. Adding to the fact that the two of you had already taken care of him, he is already … If I were to show my head now, I'm afraid the first person she would spare is me. ”
It was true that he wanted to fight for the throne, but that was only if his life was at stake.
