Chapter 440: 440 is good at scheming
The man in black exuded a cold light, “The Sikong Royal Residence has always been a part of the Royalist Party. Without getting rid of him, even if you control the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, what use is it? Don’t forget, the most important Ministry of War is still firmly in the hands of the Crown Prince.”
The second Prince seed pensive, obviously showing signs of being tempted.
The man in black added fuel to the fire, “As long as you eliminate Sikong Mo and then bla it on the War King, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone for you?
Moreover, the younger War King was already made a Prince as soon as he ca of age, not to ntion Sikong Mo who holds great power. Now look at yourself, a man in his forties who is still a Prince, and you haven’t even secured a princely title, heh…”
The second Prince was imdiately angered…
…
The War King and Ye Jiu didn’t go back after leaving the teahouse. He had just had an argunt with the Princess Consort over the matter with Liu San and knowing that the Princess Consort had treated Ye Jiu as his illegitimate daughter, the War King had no desire to go back and face the Princess Consort’s complaints.
So, when he found out that Ye Jiu’s yard was right next to Sikong Mo’s Royal Residence, he shalessly insisted on following her ho.
But just as they reached the entrance and before they had a chance to enter, a Hidden Guard suddenly appeared, “Master, news has co from the Heavenly Prison, the War King has suddenly been poisoned, and his life hangs by a thread.”
The War King’s expression changed and beca sharp, then he suddenly laughed, “Who the hell is so foolish, aren’t they just looking to make their scapegoat?”
It had to be said, at tis, the War King was quite astute, “If the mighty War King, Sikong Mo, were so easily poisoned, his body would probably have turned to ash long ago. I’m not going to fall for their trap and make a pointless trip to the Heavenly Prison.”
The War King waved his hand, and the Hidden Guard once again disappeared into the corners of the night.
After the Hidden Guard had left, Ye Jiu reflected thoughtfully, “Does the Prince an that soone is trying to harm Master Sikong?”
The War King glanced at Ye Jiu, “You’re quite sharp, girl. I barely ntioned it, and you’ve already guessed the conspiracy behind it.
However, harming Sikong Mo is only part of their plan; the people behind it must have intentionally let receive the news of Sikong Mo’s misfortune, aiming to lure there. Then, if Sikong Mo is killed, they’ll bla it on and sit back to reap the benefits behind the scenes, thinking it all too beautiful.”
Too bad. He isn’t going to fall for it.
As for Sikong Mo, he’s not worried at all; that kid’s intelligence and capabilities are both stronger than his own. Whoever tries to harm him will likely end up tasting their own bitter dicine!
After listening, the first thing Ye Jiu noticed was, “Doesn’t that an Master Sikong is in danger?”
“Don’t worry, if Sikong Mo were that easy to deal with, he wouldn’t be Sikong Mo,” the War King said with confidence.
“That’s not right, though. If soone dares to make a move on Master Sikong, they must be quite sure of their plan. Moreover, now that Master Sikong is trapped in the Heavenly Prison and is restrained, what if they poison him or drug him, then wouldn’t Master Sikong be totally powerless to resist!” Ye Jiu disapproved.
“You have a point, but what does that have to do with ?” the War King asked.
“It has nothing to do with you, but it’s getting late, and it wouldn’t be proper for to keep you any longer. So, you should head ho early,” Ye Jiu said and imdiately ran through the gate.
Then, she instructed the servant at the gate to close it, and with a bang, the War King was completely shut out.
The War King touched his nose.
This ugly girl, he wasn’t fooled. He could see right through her intentions.
