I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

320 Happy to Watch

“You also know that Mr. Gao’s previous actions have made things difficult for Mr. Pei.” Lu Ze didn’t let go of the opportunity to slander Gao Xuwei. He explained everything he had learned about Gao Xuwei to the fourth prince. When he saw the fourth prince’s expression change drastically, he stopped talking at the right time and changed the topic to Pei Qian. “Mr. Pei also knows that we can’t rush this matter now. We can only take our time.

However, General Gao can only have his power striped for the time being.”

“What else does he want?! He’s so useless!”

The fourth prince’s expression darkened. It would have been better if Lu Ze had not mentioned it. At the mention of it, he thought of the reason for his trip to the north.

!!

It was because of Gao Xuwei’s incompetence that northern barbarian spies infiltrated!

Fortunately, he was the one who came. If it had been his third brother, he would probably have to watch as his third brother uprooted his faction!

Gao Xuwei’s mistakes were enough to charge him with colluding with the enemy and treason!

“Your Highness, calm down. Mr. Pei once told you very seriously that even if you know about this, you can’t act rashly.” Lu Ze lowered his eyes and advised at the right time, “He has everything planned out. If you attack the Gao family out of anger now, it’s hard to guarantee that you won’t agitate him and force him to take drastic measures.

No matter what, Gao Xuwei had been in the north for many years.

We’re still investigating what he has in his hands. If you really fall out with him at this time, many investigation trails will probably be completely cut off.

“Your Highness, please take the overall situation into consideration and suppress your anger first.”

Actually, the fourth prince also knew that now wasn’t the time to deal with Gao Xuwei.

He was trying to rope in forces everywhere now, so if he really made a move against his maiden family’s kin at this moment, even if Gao Xuwei really deserved to die, in the eyes of others, he would seem a little ruthless.

Moreover, the Gao family had relied on the Pei family’s power to climb to their current position. If they really toppled the Gao family, the Pei family would definitely be implicated!

This was the last thing he wanted to see.

Therefore, just as Pei Qian had arranged previously, they could not deal with Gao Xuwei for the time being. Not only could they not deal with him, but they also had to think of a way to provide him with good food and drinks to appease him.

As he spoke, the guard outside had already reported to the carriage that they had arrived at Duke Huai Yang’s ministry.

Seeing that things had come to this, the fourth prince knew that he could not continue speaking. Although he was a little indignant, he suppressed the temptation and said to Lu Ze, who had sent him off the carriage, with a fake smile, “I’ve really troubled you today, Gu Erlang.”

Since your residence is closest to Song Tao’s, I’ll have to ask you to take good care of Song Tao and protect him!

If Song Tao stays safe and sound, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness.” Lu Ze bowed slightly and cupped his fists.

The fourth prince glanced at him, then turned around and entered Duke Huai Yang’s ministry with a group of guards without looking back. When the fourth prince entered the residence, Zhou Hengchang, who was in charge of the safety of the entire Duke Huai Yang’s ministry, walked over in military armor and greeted Lu Ze.

“How is it?” Lu Ze looked at the guards who had quietly spread out around him and Zhou Hengchang. He knew that no one would hear their conversation, so he asked Zhou Hengchang, who didn’t look too happy, “Could it be that the task of guarding Duke Huai Yang’s ministry is really a hot potato? It’s fine if Qian He doesn’t want it, but why do you look so unwilling?”

“Stop making fun of me.” Zhou Hengchang smiled helplessly. He didn’t hide what he was thinking. “It’s likely that there will be even more trouble.”

Zhou Hengchang felt a headache coming on when he thought of the things Princess Ning Fu had done.

In the past, he had ulterior motives towards her, so he tolerated her. Now that he had changed his mind, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine when he thought of the things Princess Ning Fu had done.

Fortunately, he found another way out. If he really succeeded in fulfilling his wish back then and married this princess, the consequences…

The consequences would have been unimaginable.

“I only arranged for you to come because I think you’re the most qualified person for this task at the moment.” Of course, Lu Ze understood Zhou Hengchang’s difficulties.

In order to transfer Zhou Hengchang out of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry, Princess Ning Fu would definitely play some tricks.

After all, everyone knew that Zhou Hengchang wanted to marry her previously. Now that she was focused on entering the fourth prince’s inner residence, she naturally could not let an outsider like Zhou Hengchang, who had once been close to her, stay by her side.

If any news of this leaked, her plan would fail!

Therefore, to be safe, Princess Ning Fu would definitely think of a way to make Zhou Hengchang give up this job.

“I understand. Princess Ning Fu is acting like this because she thinks that I, Zhou Heng, will ruin her path to riches.” Zhou Hengchang smiled, but his eyes were filled with mockery. “Don’t worry, I know how to deal with her.

“Moreover, from my observation after I came over, the fourth prince doesn’t seem to be too interested in Mr. Peiss. Instead…”

At this point, Zhou Hengchang seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. He quickly stopped talking and glanced at Lu Ze uncomfortably. After thinking about it for a moment, he could not help but continue, “He seems to be paying special attention to your affairs.”

“I know he won’t give up that easily.” Lu Ze wasn’t surprised by Zhou Hengchang’s reminder. After a while, he said, “It seems that maintaining the status quo is indeed not a solution. We have to find something for them to do.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Hengchang raised his eyebrows. Lu Ze’s words piqued his interest. He was the person closest to the two of them now and might get caught in the crossfire, so if he could really find trouble for them, he would be the first to benefit. Therefore, he was very willing to see it happen and was looking forward to it!
