Chapter 2324 Bad News
Sending messages through bird was a common method that has been used over the years.
Prime Minister Zhu heard his servant’s words and quickly went to the place where he had set up to receive the message bird.
The bird was perching on a branch, sitting while looking at Prime Minister Zhu and then pecked at the food prepared there.
“Let me see…”
Prime Minister Zhu took the message that was tied to the bird’s leg and unfurled it. In order to make the bird easier to carry, the message was usually written on a piece of cloth. The handwriting was somewhat ugly but it was readable.
It was just that Prime Minister Zhu’s face turned ugly when he read it.
The person he sent to Fei Yang Kingdom was found and the few pawns that have been contacted in Fei Yang Kingdom was also caught. This is not good.
Without these people, Prime Minister Zhu would not have people who would do his dirty work in Fei Yang Kingdom. “I need to see the second prince,” Prime Minister Zhu said and went to Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince’s palace.
These princes from Fan Yi Kingdom each have their own palace and their own people when they were old enough. Though, the so called old enough was when they were actually still children or teenager.
They were taught to be independent and had their own power.
Fan Yi Kingdom’s Emperor didn’t manage his sons much.
That was why the first prince could and dare to assassinate Fei Yang Kingdom’s Emperor on his own many years ago. Unfortunately, his attempts failed miserably and they failed after being intercepted by the people in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Imperial Palace.
The Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince also had his own people. Through this very same system, Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince could even order Prime Minister Zhu to do things.
Well, it was more like Prime Minister Zhu was pulled to his side.
For the throne’s battle, Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince had already booked Prime Minister Zhu in advance.
At this moment, Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince was playing with his concubine. When he heard Prime Minister Zhu wanted to see him, he frowned and then waved his hand, letting the concubine left while Prime Minister Zhu entered the room. “Your Highness,” Prime Minister Zhu greeted.
“Say, why did you look for me?” Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince asked with a frown. He knew that there were soldiers outside Fan Yi Kingdom’s new Capital City, but these soldiers hadn’t started attacking yet.
Moreover, he was not given any position whatsoever by his father. All he had to do was to wait until the battle was over or slip out when the battle was still ongoing.
He would never ever fought on the frontline.
Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince knew his capabilities very well and if he dared to make such a move, he would only seek death.
“Your Highness, there’s a message from Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City.” Prime Minister Zhu’s face was grave.
Upon seeing this, Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince knew that whatever message that arrived, it shouldn’t be good. He frowned.
“Say.”
“The few people whom we sent there have been caught. Moreover, the planted people from years ago are also uncovered one by one.”
This is truly bad news.
Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince’s face was black as ink. When his older brother sent people to Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City back then, he did some tricks to send his own men. There were naturally only a few people because his brother at that time was already the crown prince.
Unless something unexpected happened or his older brother made such a big mistake, the position of crown prince would never change. What Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince wanted back then was simply to prepare a way out for himself. In case the situation in Fan Yi Kingdom got heated up, he could escape to Fei Yang Kingdom.
As for why it was Fei Yang Kingdom?
That was because Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince felt that his older brother would never expect that he would escape to his enemy’s territory.
Right?
Who would expect that kind of thing?
Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince felt that he was so smart at that time.
But things changed quickly and the war between Fan Yi Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom started. Because there were also pressure from the north, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was forced to stop the war through giving up his older brother.
Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince was pleasantly surprised.
Now, the position of the crown prince was open once more and Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince naturally would not stay silent and do nothing. If it was possible, he really wanted to be the one to make a move.
But considering that the situation was unstable after the war, Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince only recruited some people into his faction, including Prime Minister Zhu. “Did they leak out my identity?” Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince asked.
This was what he worried the most.
If his father got wind that he was the one behind these people, who knew whether his cruel father would choose to give him up once again. When Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince thought about his older brother’s fate, he felt cold on his back. No matter what, he didn’t want to die.
“It’s possible, Your Highness.” Prime Minister Zhu really felt bitter.
He knew that Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince had sent people many years ago. But at that time, he was not Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince’s person. He didn’t interfere much and even though he felt some of them were quite unreliable, he let it be.
Who would have thought that he would enter Fan Yi Kingdom’s second prince’s faction and then saw these people truly failed in Fei Yang Kingdom. And they did it at the most critical moment. If possible, Prime Minister Zhu really wanted to smash some porcelains too.
