149 A Wishful Plan; War Repor (2/2)

Guan Zhengwen laughed loudly too.

“More luckily, the steward of the House of Ye, Song Jue, is a superior cultivator. He knows about the Melting Bone Palm in a certain extent, so he immediately confirmed that Ye Xiao was hit by the Melting Bone Palm. However, he didn't know it well enough. He thought somebody did it then and there. He started to accused those people from different houses. Those people knew that things were going astray, so they all left. Apparently, that wouldn’t be the end of this thing… At least the House of Ye has sent a carrier pigeon to inform Ye Nantian…”

Guan Zhengwen spoke seriously, “Song Jue has aimed at those houses. The only thing we need to worry about is that there may be someone who knows well about the Melting Bone Palm. I think Ye Nantian would investigate on this after he returns… There is plenty of time before he receives the message and return to the capital. As long as we can do something during this time… I believe your highness know what I mean.”

The Crown Prince nodded and said, “That’s true. What a close one. I never expected things could go so well for us. As long as we handle everything well, the result might even make Ye Nantian join and support us… This is such a wonderful thing. The gods are blessing me indeed. The son of the real god always gets the gods’ helps.”

He stood up and walked around in the study room. He said, “I am going to the royal palace and ask my father to send a doctor to the House of Ye immediately. I should ask the doctor to try his best to keep Ye Xiao alive. It will give Ye Nantian the last chance to see his son alive.”

Guan Zhengwen said, “Amazing move!”

If the royal doctor could check Ye Xiao’s condition, then he could confirm the reason behind Ye Xiao’s wound. After all, the Crown Prince would never doubt Guan Zhengwen, and they could use this opportunity to show benevolence to the Ye Clan and do a great favor for Ye Nantian.

“And then, I will go visit Ye Xiao myself.” The Crown Prince said, “I need to show him this. I have to!”

“That’s true!” Guan Zhengwen said.

“After that, I need to do something to… Jiang Yuming, the Revenue Minister, and Li Shixiong, the Right Prime Minister. Both of them are my father’s men. They have never given me nor the princess any good impression. Besides, they are controlling most of the power and departments in the court. I can’t even fight them upfront… The Rites Department… The Rites Minister is my older brother’s man…”

“These men are all the Left Prime Minister’s opponents. The Left Prime Minister, Minister Zuo, never gets involved into the affairs among the princes, yet he will have to cooperate with me on this. If I take down these people, he will be the one who gets the biggest profit.”

“As long as I can make a turbulence through this event and make things go bigger, the Left Prime Minister will own me a big favor.” The Crown Prince’s eyes lit up, “Besides, me visiting Ye Xiao will become a message to the military group… It is that I am trying to get close to the military side and I am being considerate to their families… That is important too.”

“That is truly an unexpected surprise. What happened this time actually had actually worked in our favor!” Guan Zhengwen spoke admiringly, “You highness is truly smart and wise! Within a few sentences, you have decided the future of the whole world!”

The Crown Prince laughed and said, “Hurry! We don’t have time. I have to go see my father right now!”

Then he just stood up.

“Take care, your highness.” Guan Zhengwen bowed and then left.

Although the Crown Prince had been promising that he would protect Guan Zhengwen, Guan Zhengwen himself knew clearly that he would be the one who would be taking the whole responsibility this time if things went wrong. Even the king couldn’t help him.

However, now he didn’t have to worry about that anymore!

Those foppish lads had become the scapegoats for him now!

[I seems it is a good thing that there are some foppish ignorant bastards in the world. They always do something that surprisingly saves your ass when you want them to…]

Guan Zhengwen was happy about it. He felt much relaxed now.

[I don’t think the great General Ye will keep his eye on me anymore.]

…

In the royal palace, the king was reading three newly delivered war reports. He was frowning!

Things went bad in the south and Prince Hua-Yang had left for the battle there. Three troops of the Kingdom of Lan-Feng were coming over from the southeast, as well as the union force of the seven barbaric tribes of the south.

That was truly like a huge wave. It was fierce. The south was in a dire situation. Even if Prince Hua-Yang’s army arrived in time, the situation might still remain the same!

Right after Prince Hua-Yang left the capital, there was a new report. The Kingdom of Lan-Feng’s troops attacked the west of the Kingdom of Chen. There were 200 thousand men marching over from the west!
