Along the way, Yang Xuan looked at Lu Jingliang and felt something was wrong. When he boarded the ship, he finally couldn't help but asked: "Your Highness, you are too scared to death. Is it too exaggerated to bring so many guards?"
Already?"
Lu Jingliang said with a mysterious face: "You don't understand. I will not come back to Qiongzhou this time. If you are not familiar with the place, you should not bring more people with you."
Yang Xuan's eyes widened: "You...are you trying to run away?"
According to the laws of the Dasheng Dynasty, the vassal king was not allowed to leave the vassal territory without permission, and the same was true for the vassal king's sons, especially the eldest son like Lu Jinliang.
When nothing goes wrong, it's okay. At most, I can issue a few reprimands. When something goes wrong, it's not impossible to label you as a rebel.
For example, right now, at this sensitive moment when the emperor is critically ill, as the eldest son of the feudal king, you actually slipped away from the feudal land?
Lu Jinghao took his time and stuffed a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, I can come out, the house has its own arrangements, and no one will catch me."
Brother Yang was silent, you two are still playing coquettishly.
Even before things get chaotic, you two have already thought of a way out, right?
"Mr. Yang, does he know what's going on in the DPRK now?"
Yang Xuan pouted: "Although the undercurrent is surging, it is generally stable."
Lu Jingliang was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xuan's perfunctory answer: "Let me just say it directly. If the prince succeeds to the throne, what do you think?"
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you have to express my opinion?"
"The prince is still capable. If he is in charge of the affairs of the court, there won't be any big problems in the short term."
"Then what Mr. Yang means is that there will be problems after a long time?"
When Lu Jingliang said this, his eyes showed unabashed shrewdness.
Damn it, this guy has been pretending to be stupid all this time. This guy may not have the ability to do business, but he is definitely not as unsophisticated as he showed before.
Hunting geese all day only to be pecked by geese?
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes: "Then what does the prince think of the prince taking charge of the government?"
Lu Jingliang smiled but did not answer.
Yang Xuan was secretly annoyed that these royal family members did not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
Only the third prince is kinder.
No, that guy didn't have good intentions at the beginning and wanted to recruit me. Do you think I can't see it?
…
Ying Tianfu.
Imperial City.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Outside the palace gate, Prince Lu Chengyou was looking at Wang Daban, glaring angrily.
"You dare to stop me from meeting the emperor?"
Wang Daban lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Majesty is not in good health and does not want to see anyone."
"I'm sorry, I've been in trouble for so long. My son wants to see me, how dare you, a slave, stop me?"
Wang Daban lowered his head a little further: "Your Highness, the Emperor has already fallen asleep. It is inconvenient for the Prince to disturb you at this time."
"You said that my father is sick. What kind of illness is it? How long have you been sick for? Why is it still not getting better?" The prince was furious and paced back and forth anxiously, but he did not dare to force his way in.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is old and already suffering from diseases. In addition, he has been depressed recently. The imperial doctor has said that he needs to rest peacefully and take proper care before he can recover. You must not disturb him at this time."
Wang Daban's words were obviously aimed at the prince. What's wrong with the emperor? He's not angry with you. Why are you still angry with him when you go in?
The prince was stimulated by these words. He didn't want anything to happen to the emperor. After all, he was not powerful enough to inherit the throne. If the emperor died now, it would be a bit difficult for him to succeed.
But without seeing the emperor, he felt uneasy. He wanted to know how sick the emperor was. If he was really seriously ill, he might as well prepare in advance.
But this Wang Daban insisted on obstructing him and refused to let him in to see the emperor.
The prince gritted his teeth and waved to the two eunuchs behind him: "Stop him."
The two eunuchs looked at each other, their bodies changed, and they stopped in front of Wang Daban. The prince was about to enter the Yangxin Hall.
Wang Daban wanted to stop him, but the two eunuchs in front of him slapped him with their palms and reminded him: "Manager Wang, be careful."
Wang Daban snorted coldly, stretched out his arms, and the two eunuchs felt their eyes blur, and after two bangs, they fell to the ground exhausted.
When the prince heard the voice and looked back, his pupils suddenly contracted. The two eunuchs were bleeding from their mouths and noses, their chests were collapsed, and they were obviously dead.
He had known for a long time that Wang Daban was very skilled, but the two eunuchs beside the prince were also masters selected by the Western Police Department. Unexpectedly, they were killed instantly without even being able to withstand a single move.
"Two little bastards, how dare you attack the Za family."
Wang Daban bowed his hands towards the prince: "These two little eunuchs have no rules. Your Highness is frightened. It would be better for His Highness to choose two well-behaved and sensible little eunuchs to accompany you."
The prince's eyelids twitched, and the hairs on his body stood up. If Wang Daban attacked him at this time, I'm afraid he would suffer the same fate as the two eunuchs.
He calmly took a step back, glanced at the palace guards not far away, felt a little relieved, and was about to say something, when a voice came from the Yangxin Palace.
"Who is making so much noise outside that I can't even sleep well?"
The prince was startled and his mind was spinning. Just now, Wang Daban said that his father was sick because of his anger. He also believed it. If he alarmed his father at this time, what if his father's condition worsened...
Before the prince could come up with a countermeasure, Wang Daban bowed towards the Yangxin Hall and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. There were two young eunuchs arguing here just now. I have killed them and disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
A voice came from inside: "Keep them away, I get upset just looking at them."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have dismissed them. Please rest in peace, Your Majesty."
The prince quickly bowed his hands to Wang Daban, expressed his gratitude with his eyes, and then left in a hurry.
Although he lost two eunuchs, the prince felt that it was worthwhile to come today. Although he could tell from his weak voice that his father was indeed ill, it should not be too serious.
The prince felt a little relieved. As long as his father was still there, he could still develop for a while, and when his wings were full, he would be able to take his place.
However, after the prince left, Wang Daban entered the Yangxin Hall. Behind a screen, a eunuch was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
Wang Daman knelt down and patted his shoulder: "You did a good job just now. Don't worry, your family will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and your clan will also get the care it deserves."
The eunuch kowtowed again and again: "Thank you so much, Manager Wang, thank you so much, Manager Wang."
Wang Daban stood up: "Have a good rest. Having such an opportunity to serve the Emperor is a blessing you have earned over several lifetimes. As long as you delay, the more your family will get."
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, Wang Daban looked through the palace wall into the distance.
