Chapter 189: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
The prince watched Su Wan leave, and then looked at his immobile right hand, his eyes full of sinisterness.
He thought of the stinging pain in his palm just now, that needle was poisonous.
The prince calmed down, went to the main courtyard, and knocked on the door.
There was no movement inside.
The prince looked at Luo Cheng beside him.
Luo Cheng looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose.
The scene of the prince entangled with Su Wan just now had been seen by the master through the window.
"Uncle, I have something to discuss with you."
The prince's tone was calm, implying respect.
There was still no movement in the room.
The prince's face gradually stiffened.
"Your Highness, I will make tea for you right now." Luo Cheng immediately ran away.
The prince's face was covered with clouds, and he naturally did not dare to get angry in the Regent's Palace.
It would be even more inappropriate to leave at this time.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lights were on in the house.
Luo Cheng came from nowhere, raised his head and knocked on the door: "Master, the prince is here."
The regent's low voice came: "Come in."
The prince stood for half an hour and pushed the door open.
The regent sat on the couch in his outer robe, as if he had just woken up, with gloomy eyebrows.
"Uncle, I am here to go to Xiliang. You are not feeling well, why don't I go to Xiliang?" The prince asked tentatively.
"No need." The regent made a stroke and pinched his brow: "I have something else for you to do."
The prince's eyes moved.
"I will be back to Da Zhou for about half a year. Your father is obsessed with the art of longevity and ignores government affairs. Someone must be able to control the situation." The regent took a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and said slowly: "You haven't been on your own in these years. Let me see your ability."
"Uncle, please give me your orders." The prince did not think that the regent gave him an easy job.
As expected, the Regent said, "Except for Marquis Dingyuan, within three days, I will have evidence of his guilt on my desk."
The prince's face suddenly changed.
The Regent's eyes were cold and sharp: "No?"
"Don't worry, uncle, I will do it." The prince walked out of the room, and the cold wind blew, making his mind clearer.
He wondered what the Regent's intention was. Did he know that he was secretly doing something with Su Jihong, so that Su Jihong would bite him out in desperation?
If he didn't deal with Su Jihong, the Regent would definitely find a way to suppress his participation in the government.
The prince straightened his sleeves, a cold light appeared between his eyebrows, and he walked out of the Regent's Mansion.
Luo Cheng looked at the prince's back disappearing in the night and entered the room.
The Regent said coldly: "The day after tomorrow, reveal the news to Su Jihong, and the prince will kill the donkey."
Luo Cheng's eyebrows jumped. Is it really a dog-biting-dog drama?
"What if the prince uses a knife to kill someone?"
"The spies placed with the prince can be used."
Luo Cheng was awed. If the prince's people touched Su Jihong, it would be useless for the prince to borrow a knife from anyone else.
"I will make arrangements right away." Luo Cheng retreated.
——
When Mrs. Su heard that Su Wan was going to accompany the regent to Xiliang, she immediately asked the nanny to pass a message to Su Wan, asking Su Wan to come and send her to the nunnery tomorrow and to tell her something.
The nanny left the house with Mrs. Su's words.
Soon someone told Qinglan the news.
Qinglan found out that Mrs. Su had given all the valuables in her hands to Su Wan, and was worried that she could not find a chance to get them back. Hearing the news, a vicious light flashed in her eyes.
She went to the study to find Su Jihong: "Master, I am going to the National Temple to burn incense tomorrow. Please assign a few skilled people to me."
Su Jihong held the letter sent by the prince in his hand, his eyes flickering.
"Okay, I'll prepare a few more people for you." Su Jihong put the letter in the candlelight and burned it: "I'll go with you."
