Imperial Capital.
The Third Prince's Mansion!
"Waste! Waste! A bunch of waste!!!"
In the main hall, the third prince was sitting on the throne, his face was ferocious with anger, and he was roaring angrily.
Below the main hall, there are more than thirty Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors. Among them are Lu Hu, Zhu Pian, the young man in white, Mrs. Xiao, the Taoist nun, the old man in purple and others.
These people are clearly the warriors who were ordered to guard Lanting Xiaozhu.
Now that Lanting Xiaozhu has been lost, Lin Bai rescued the mother and daughter who were still pregnant. There is no point in guarding Lanting Xiaozhu anymore. They can only go back to the third prince's mansion to meet the third prince.
But as soon as they finished telling the news that their posthumous son had been kidnapped by Lin Bai, they were scolded by the third prince.
"What is going on?" The third prince glared at everyone and asked sternly: "There are more than 70 Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors in Lanting Xiaozhu!"
"More than seventy Taiyi experts! How could it be possible to lose! How could it be possible to lose!"
"Even if a warrior from the Daluo Daoguo realm comes, it's impossible to quietly take away the deceased child from the noses of more than 70 of you warriors!"
"What the hell is going on!!!"
The third prince was furious. He could not even dream of figuring out how Lin Bai, with more than seventy warriors guarding Lanting Xiaozhu, abducted his posthumous son.
The more than thirty Taiyi Daoguo warriors in the hall were all-powerful outside, but facing the anger of the third prince, they were like children who had done something wrong. They could only lower their heads and obey the instructions obediently.
Lu Hu looked ugly, and under pressure, he cupped his hands and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, they did not attack Lanting Xiaozhu, but Lin Bai sneaked into Lanting Xiaozhu alone with a crow."
"After Lin Bai found the courtyard where the deceased child was found in the Orchid Pavilion, he let the crow attract our attention."
"We were caught off guard and were taken advantage of by Lin Bai, so... so..."
Lu Hu looked remorseful and blamed himself.
When the third prince heard Lu Hu's words, his eyes were blood red, his gaze was like a knife, and his body was trembling with anger: "Li Bai! It's you again!!!"
"Lin Bai, you and I are at odds with each other!"
The third prince was so angry that he smashed the table next to him with one palm.
He calmed down, thought carefully, and then asked: "Lu Hu, you are proficient in the art of spiritual thoughts and magical eyes. No disturbance within a radius of one hundred thousand miles can escape your spiritual thoughts and magical eyes!"
"Don't you know that Lin Bai sneaked into Orchid Pavilion?"
Lu Hu's face was gloomy and he said guiltily: "I am not good at studying and did not find any trace of Lin Bai. This is why Lin Bai took advantage of the loophole. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
The third prince snorted coldly and said to the other warriors: "Lu Hu didn't notice it, so didn't you guys notice it either?"
"Lanting Xiaozhu is only a small building, covering an area of only about 10,000 meters. If you wait for more than 70 Taiyi experts in Lanting Xiaozhu, even if a mosquito flies in, you should be able to easily detect it, right?"
"Why didn't you find out?"
"Not only was it not discovered, but Lin Bai was also allowed to kidnap the unborn child!"
"Do you know how important this posthumous child is to me!!"
The third prince was so angry that his body trembled violently, his face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared repeatedly. He looked at the people in the hall and wanted to kill them quickly.
The more than thirty Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors in the main hall were scolded so badly by the third prince that they were all dejected and did not dare to refute.
Mr. Huo, the third prince's aide, looked gloomy, his eyes turned, and finally he shook his head and sighed.
"Your Highness, now that the posthumous son has been kidnapped, and now I think it has fallen into the hands of His Highness King Chen, even if we are very angry, it will not help."
"Please calm down your highness, bypass the people in the palace, and let them do things for your highness in the future, so that the merits can be exchanged for the sins."
Mr. Huo stood up and interceded for everyone in the hall.
The third prince took a deep breath, looked ugly, sat on a chair, held his forehead and sighed softly: "Since Mr. Huo begs for mercy, I will spare you for the time being."
"Everyone, go down."
Everyone in the main hall felt like they had been pardoned. After thanking him hurriedly, they turned around and left the third prince's office.
In the main hall, everyone left, leaving only the third prince and Mr. Huo.
"Mr. Huo, the posthumous sword is the most important sword in my hand. I wanted to use her to deliver a fatal blow to His Royal Highness Prince Chen, but I didn't expect that because of my negligence, Lin Bai took the posthumous sword away." The third prince held his forehead.
He sighed softly, looking helpless.
"At the court, I repeatedly accused King Chen of lax public security in the imperial capital, which caused so many disturbances. But my father seems to be intending to protect His Highness King Chen, and has made arrangements to deal with many of his mistakes!"
"Mr. Huo, I already feel that my father is partial!"
"The current situation is very unfavorable for us."
The third prince sighed softly.
After hearing this, Mr. Huo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if His Majesty the Emperor of Chu intends to support His Highness King Chen and secretly suppress His Highness, His Highness is still the most powerful prince in the imperial capital!"
"In the imperial capital, among the five major families in the imperial capital, the three major families, the Li family, the Zhao family, and the Sun family, are all loyal to His Highness."
"In the Sun and Moon Pavilion, there are thousands of powerful people who are following His Highness' orders."
"Even if you end up in a situation where you have no choice but to do so, Your Highness will not lose the opportunity to give it a try!"
The third prince chuckled and said, "Having said that, my power is more than enough to deal with His Highness Prince Chen."
"But in the eyes of my father, it's just a small fight."
"If my father wants to destroy my Sun Moon Pavilion, or the five major families in the imperial capital, he only needs to snap his fingers."
Mr. Huo continued: "So Your Highness, what we have to do now is to do nothing."
The third prince asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Huo Lao smiled and said: "We all know... His Majesty the Chu Emperor will announce the handover of the throne in front of the powerful men in the demon world on his birthday in two years."
"Judging from the current situation, His Highness is the first candidate for the throne."
"As long as His Highness does not make any mistakes in the past two years, hides his talents, keeps a low profile, and celebrates his birthday in two years, even if His Majesty the Emperor of Chu is unwilling to hand over the throne to His Highness, he will have no choice!"
"So, what we have to do now is to do nothing!"
“The more you do, the more mistakes you make, it’s better not to do it!”
The third prince suddenly became enlightened and felt that Huo Lao's words were reasonable.
Now Emperor Chu has made it clear that he is supporting the rise of His Highness King Chen, but in just two or three years, His Highness King Chen cannot surpass the strength of the third prince even with the support of Emperor Chu.
What the third prince has to do now is to do nothing and wait for his birthday to arrive!
As long as the third prince does not make any mistakes, he will definitely be able to successfully take over the throne before his birthday in two years.
The third prince smiled and said: "What Huo Lao said makes sense, pass on the order and ask all the warriors under his command to hide their capabilities and bide their time, and not to give His Highness Prince Chen any leverage!"
