But he heard Ji Lanjin's clear and slow voice sounding like the wind: "Is the Fourth Prince too confident in himself? Did I ever say that I was going to leave? Or does the Fourth Prince think that you will really leave if you say you won't let us go?"
Not going out?"
"The fourth prince plots against me at every turn, even sending assassins to assassinate me over and over again. Don't you need to give me an explanation?"
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes, and played with the ring on his hand carelessly: "What? Could it be that the Nine Emperors Uncle still wants to kill this prince in front of everyone in the world? If he does, the Nine Emperors Uncle has been keeping a low profile these years.
Aren’t all the good intentions of hiding it in vain?”
Ji Lanjin was dressed in white and spoke with a burning voice: "Didn't the Fourth Prince do the same to me just now? I was eager to protect my wife, fought back in self-defense, and accidentally killed the Fourth Prince. I have nothing to explain to the world. But you, the Fourth Prince
, you have been pretending to be ill since you were young, deceiving the people of the world, and assassinated the king many times, even arresting the king's concubine to plot against the king. The one who really needs to explain to others is probably you, the fourth prince."
The fourth prince was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he gave a wicked smile and said: "So what if you kill me? My father is wary of you. If you take action against me, my father will not do it."
I’ll keep you again.”
Ji Lanjin's expression was indifferent, and his face was extremely calm, as if he was talking about a topic that had nothing to do with him: "I'm afraid your Majesty didn't intend to keep me, right? Your Majesty sent me here just to take advantage of the chaos in Yuncheng.
Are you going to accuse me of collaborating with the enemy and treason, so that you can take the opportunity to kill me? Presumably the fourth prince will show up here and openly attack me, right? This is the Holy One's secret instruction? In this case, do you think that I still want to kill you?
Will you sit back and wait for death?"
The movements of the fourth prince's hands paused, but only for a moment he returned to his previous indifferent and lazy expression: "Oh? Then I wonder what Uncle Nine Emperors plans to do?"
Ji Lanjin did not answer, only said: "The troops from various countries have gathered under the city, and the war is about to break out. The fourth prince appears in Yuncheng at this time. He must have received the military power granted by His Majesty, but I am afraid it has not been announced to the public.
You said, if something happens to the fourth prince at this time, I wonder who the emperor will transfer the military power to next?"
The fourth prince replied calmly: "No matter who it is, in short, my father's military power will never be handed over to the Nine Emperors Uncle."
Ji Lanjin also nodded indifferently: "I naturally know this, but if the person who gets the military power next knows, the fourth prince has been pretending to be ill these years, and it was with the emperor's tacit approval that he didn't know about the other party.
What will you do?”
The fourth prince's eyes turned cold, and then he stopped moving his hands. He raised his head and looked at Ji Lanjin and said, "I have been negligent. Uncle Nine Emperors has always been a high-ranking and low-key man. In addition to the Crown Prince of Chengjun, there is also the Crown Prince of Prince Heng's Palace.
Apart from these two people, I never have close friendship with anyone, but I don’t know who else can fall under the eyes of the Nine Emperors Uncle? Is it the Second Emperor Brother or the Seventh Emperor Brother?”
Ji Lanjin's expression was indifferent: "If the fourth prince is destined to leave here today, he might as well go find the answer by himself. Take down the fourth prince, and see him alive and his corpse." The cold voice pierced the sky, like the sky.
The moon is clearly filled with solemnity.
That was the first time Qingwan saw Ji Lanjin showing such an expression, and it was also the first time she knew that this man was far more ruthless, decisive and scheming than she imagined.
