Chapter 691 (2): Difficult To Deal With
Pri Minister Wen made a quick calculation upon hearing this. What’s important now is to get over the obstacle that’s right in front of . If I don’t, things may spiral out of control.
“May I have a few days to think about it?” Pri Minister Wen tried to stall. Even one day was better than none.
Obviously, Hua Ziqing knew what the older man was up to. “Pri Minister Wen, this Prince doesn’t like to beat around the bush. If you’re not sincere about this, I might just show this to the world.”
The thinly-veiled threat was enough to make the pri minister compromise.
Originally, this matter only involved the imperial family. But now, Prince Hao, the Western Region King, and even Yun Ruofeng are involved.
“You need my help, while I need to keep this safe. Why the rush in forcing to decide?” Pri Minister Wen decided to take a softer stance.
Hua Ziqing was unconvinced. “Your tricks don’t work on , Pri Minister Wen.”
“Prince Qing, this old subject suggests that you know your boundaries.” Pri Minister Wen did not back down.
“Pri Minister Wen, this prince is treating you with utmost sincerity,” Hua Ziqing answered with a smirk.
Pri Minister Wen frowned slightly. “You call threatening sincerity?”
“Pri Minister Wen is intelligent, so I’m sure you know what I really an,” Hua Ziqing said calmly.
Pri Minister Wen seed to have had enough as he said, “Prince Qing, I’ve already given Xiliu’s imperial secret scrolls to the emperor. There’s no use in continuing to threaten .”
“No need to pretend, Pri Minister Wen. Only soone like Hua Zirong would trust in the incomplete set of scrolls that you gave him.” Hua Ziqing felt blood pool in his mouth, but he swallowed it back down forcefully.
“What do you an by that, Prince Qing? This old subject would never hide such an important docunt.” A fierce glint flashed past Pri Minister Wen’s eyes before his expression returned to normal.
Hua Ziqing asked sarcastically, “I’m sure Pri Minister Wen knows the truth better than anyone else, isn’t that right?”
Pri Minister Wen maintained his innocence as he said, “Prince Qing, this old subject doesn’t understand what you are talking about.”
Hua Ziqing then said, “You are a smart person, Pri Minister Wen. Be careful of accidentally hurting yourself.”
“Prince Qing, this old subject knows what your aim is. Since we have different objectives, please leave.” Pri Minister Wen wanted Hua Ziqing out of his residence.
Though he understood the severity of the issue with military paynts, that was nothing when compared to Xiliu’s imperial secret scrolls. There was no way he was going to miss the forest for the trees.
“Pri Minister Wen, do you think you’ll still be trusted after Hua Zirong finds out you’ve given him sothing incomplete?” Hua Ziqing decided to be direct this ti.
Pri Minister Wen said, “This old subject has no idea what you’re talking about. All of Xiliu’s imperial secret scrolls belong to the emperor, and this old subject would never dare hide any of them. Please do not falsely accuse , Prince Qing.”
Hua Ziqing smirked at the old man’s response. A fox, no matter how sly, will never be able to get away from a skilled hunter.
“Mada Wen killed your daughter.” Hua Ziqing said.
Anger instantly bubbled up in Pri Minister Wen. “Please leave, Prince Qing.”
What happened was an embarrassnt for Pri Minister Wen, and he did not want anyone talking about it.
