Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne

Chapter 715: Chapter 351 Crown Prince’s Anger

In the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince received a letter from Prince Wei, and in his anger, he kicked over the table in front of him, scaring Lv Cong, who was standing beside him, so much that he trembled violently and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger!"

"A bunch of useless people!" the Crown Prince roared in anger, "Incompetent fools, can’t even find one person!"

Seeing the Crown Prince’s face turn beet red with anger, veins bulging on his forehead and his chest heaving violently, as if he might faint from rage at any moment, Lv Cong quickly tried to soothe him, "Your Highness, please calm down, don’t harm your health with your anger!"

The Crown Prince reached out again and knocked over another table; a vase on it fell to the ground, shattering with a crisp sound.

He reached out to push over another table, cursing furiously, "Useless! A bunch of good-for-nothings! A bunch of gluttons!"

Seeing the Crown Prince so enraged, Lv Cong didn’t dare step forward to advise him, he could only wait for the Crown Prince to vent his fury.

The Crown Prince unleashed a great deal of anger, smashing everything in the room to bits. The previously neat and clean room now lay in a complete mess.

Seeing the Crown Prince stop, Lv Cong hurriedly called people in to clean up, and he quickly poured a pot of calming tea for the Crown Prince.

After venting his anger, the Crown Prince regained some of his composure, but his expression remained grim.

"Your Highness, please have some tea to calm down, don’t harm your health with anger."

The Crown Prince grabbed the teacup, taking a few rough sips, then threw the cup in his hand fiercely to the ground.

Lv Cong cautiously asked, "Your Highness, did Lord Wei not find Prince Chu in Peng City either?"

The Crown Prince replied grimly, "No."

Lv Cong was surprised, "Even Lord Wei couldn’t find him?"

"The eighth brother didn’t completely fail to find the fourth brother." The Crown Prince spoke, his expression turning hideous, gritting his teeth, "The eighth brother found the fake bodies concocted by the fourth brother, not the fourth brother himself. The fourth brother is truly too cunning and treacherous!"

"Another fake body?" Lv Cong cursed angrily, "How many fake bodies has Prince Chu created, truly despicable."

"The eighth brother wrote saying Peng City is filled with fake bodies of the fourth brother. They not only mislead but also confuse, leading the Governor Yan and the eighth brother in circles!" The Crown Prince’s eyes were cold and sinister, "I truly underestimated the fourth brother!"

"Your Highness, is Prince Chu a magician?" Lv Cong scoffed disdainfully, "How could a member of the royal family use such lowly tricks, utterly vile and shameless."

"The eighth brother wrote to me that he also found the fourth brother’s fake bodies in Jinling City." The Crown Prince cursed with a distorted face, "Does the fourth brother plan to fill all of Jiangnan with his fake bodies?"

Lv Cong was shocked, hardly believing, "Your Highness, what is Prince Chu trying to do?"

"He just doesn’t want us to find him."

"Then is Prince Chu in Peng City or Jinling?"

"The eighth brother said the fourth brother should still be in Peng City. The reason the fourth brother created so many fake bodies is to make us think he isn’t in Peng City."

Lv Cong asked nervously, "Has Prince Chu discovered something?"

"He hasn’t." At this, the Crown Prince’s expression softened slightly, "The eighth brother said if the fourth brother had discovered something, he wouldn’t have made so many fake bodies in Peng City."

"It’s good he hasn’t found anything."

"Thanks to the eighth brother." Mentioning Prince Wei brought a smile to the Crown Prince’s face, "If the eighth brother hadn’t rushed to help Governor Yan in Peng City timely, that useless Governor Yan would’ve already been caught by the fourth brother, and the fourth brother would’ve found some clues by now."

"Lord Wei always handles things meticulously and will not let Prince Chu discover anything." Lv Cong comforted the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, even though we haven’t found Prince Chu yet, with Lord Wei’s assistance, Prince Chu definitely won’t find anything out, so please don’t be angry."

"Though the fourth brother hasn’t discovered anything, as long as he’s alive, I won’t be at ease." Currently, to the Crown Prince, Prince Chu posed the greatest threat. Even if Prince Chu found nothing in Peng City, if he returned safely to the capital, father would continue to trust him.

What’s more, once Prince Chu returns to the capital, it will be much harder to assassinate him. While he’s out in the provinces, it’s easiest to execute an assassination. Plus, if Prince Chu is killed outside, we can blame others entirely.

The Crown Prince’s face was stern, his voice vicious, "The fourth brother must die!!!"

"Your Highness, don’t worry, Prince Chu will definitely die!"

"I hope Governor Yan in Peng City won’t disappoint me again!"
