Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Splashing Dirty Water
Doctor Wang’s emotions were in turmoil, uncertain whether he should reveal the truth. He cast a glance at Prince Pu and saw the prince staring at him furiously, as if he wished to consu him whole.
Instantly, his heart turned cold. He had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the father and daughter.
To think, with just a slight hiccup,
Their true colors were unveiled.
Without a word, they wanted to execute him, not even allowing him a chance to explain.
At this mont, Doctor Wang finally understood one thing.
To Prince Pu, he was nothing but an expendable chess piece.
Thereupon, he steeled his resolve. With the War Prince present, he could seek his protection. Perhaps, he might still be able to carve out a path to survival.
“War Prince, spare my life! I am truly innocent. All of this was Auntie Tang’s doing. Everything I did was under her command,” Doctor Wang pleaded on the ground, slamming his forehead to the point of bloodying it. At this mont, desperate to save his own skin, he couldn’t care less about the consequences.
Indeed, even an ant will fight for its life, let alone soone who is very much alive.
“Tell the story from beginning to end, slowly.”
“War Prince, you have to promise to save my life before I dare to speak,” Doctor Wang said, while casting aningful glances at Prince Pu, clearly afraid that Prince Pu would revenge himself on him later, taking his life.
Prince Pu was extrely irate, “You treacherous servant, spewing such nonsense, I will wipe out your entire family.”
Doctor Wang imdiately dared not speak and lay prostrate on the ground.
War Prince cast a frigid look at Prince Pu, “Prince Pu, you have quite the nerve. To threaten soone in the presence of myself?”
“For a traitor’s dog servant, I have no need to be polite,” Prince retorted.
“If Prince Pu doesn’t restrain himself, don’t bla
for being rciless,” War Prince warned.
“What… what do you want to do?” Prince Pu asked.
“In the next mont, even I do not know what I might do,” the War Prince said nonchalantly, as he produced a dagger out of nowhere and toyed with it in his hand.
Seeing this, Prince Pu instantly fell silent.
Indeed, the War Prince’s power in Moli Country was vast, he commanded such respect that even The Emperor gave him leeway. A re idler Prince like himself was nothing in the eyes of the War Prince.
“He sched against my daughter, am I not to be furious?” Prince Pu’s tone softened significantly.
“He hasn’t spoken yet, how do you know he was slinging mud at your daughter? Could it be that Prince Pu has a guilty conscience?”
“That dog servant certainly has nothing good to say. He holds a grudge against
for nearly killing him just now.”
“Following that logic, if he was to fra anyone, it would be Prince Pu. Why would he fra Auntie Tang?” War Prince said with a half-smile.
Prince Pu was left speechless.
The War Prince glanced at Doctor Wang, “Speak, I assure you safety within the General’s Mansion.”
“Thank you, War Prince,” Doctor Wang said, repeatedly kowtowing hard on the ground.
Prince Pu was anxious, afraid that Doctor Wang would say sothing he shouldn’t, but with the War Prince there, he was powerless.
Securing a promise for his safety, Doctor Wang no longer had reservations and spilled everything about how Auntie Tang wanted Situtu Qinger to go to the Imperial Palace and attend the Empress Dowager’s banquet but had no way to get in. After giving it so thought, she set her sights on Xuexue. However, Auntie Tang was rebuffed by Xuexue and in a fit of rage and indignation, concocted a new plan: to poison Madam Xie so that Xuexue would be too preoccupied to attend the Empress Dowager’s banquet, giving Situtu Qinger the opportunity to go in her place.
Who would have thought that despite all her calculations, Madam Xie did not get poisoned, but instead, Auntie Tang herself fell victim to it.
