Chapter 1591: Unstoppable
Chapter 1591: Unstoppable
The Eighth Prince's words were sincere and earnest, and Ye Yun felt even more guilty after hearing them.
He slapped himself in front of the Eighth Prince. The crisp sound of the slap startled the Eighth Prince so much that his pupils shrank slightly.
He said anxiously, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Ye Yun felt the burning pain on his face and became more awake.
He immediately smiled at the Eighth Prince and said, "Your Highness, I am reminding myself. Otherwise, no matter how nicely I say things now, if I encounter similar things in the future, I will be lucky and unconsciously make decisions that will embarrass you."
The Eighth Prince was stunned, then he reached out to support him, and said in a gentle voice: "I just want to support you and live with you for a long time. As for what the future will be like, I have already anticipated various situations."
"It's just that Wen Baicao has a grudge against the royal family. My father's increasing debility as he grows older might be related to him. Therefore, I feel uneasy when I see him."
"Not to mention that he has been with Lao Jiu for a while. Lao Jiu's ability is much stronger than mine. If Wen Baicao is willing, he will definitely abandon me and choose Lao Jiu."
"So once I knew about your and Wen Baicao's decision, I was worried that Wen Baicao had deliberately asked for it, but you just went along with it."
The more he spoke, the weaker his voice became, and his face was pale.
"Old Lady Shang is Lao Liu's person, and I didn't dare to trust her, but she was the first person who told me that she could remove the Phoenix Gu."
"I didn't believe in Phoenix Gu before, but I wanted to use its power to make myself the rightful ruler of the world."
"Now that Chang Xuewei's incident has come out, I want to believe in Phoenix Gu."
The Eighth Prince said this and clenched his hand with all his strength.
His knuckles turned white and his arms trembled constantly. When Ye Yun saw him like this, he immediately understood the purpose of his words.
He looked straight into his eyes, his words devoid of any emotion, but his expression showed concern and care for him.
"If you want to use the Phoenix Gu to break the impasse, I will risk my life to make Old Lady Shang take out the Phoenix Gu."
"But Mrs. Shang's words may not be credible, and Liu Ying's death was too coincidental. I suspect that the murderer is Mrs. Shang."
"She chose to kill Liu Ying in front of us, just to make us suffer in silence, so that we would have to use her and be controlled by her."
Ye Yun felt a wave of pain in his heart. He specifically asked Tu Zhizhi and learned that she had several capable poison masters under her command, but none of them could compare to Old Lady Shang.
He knew that before Mrs. Shang's true purpose was revealed, Liu Ying's death could only be an accident.
"Old Lady Shang gave me a message earlier, that is, she is going to take the Phoenix Gu in three days." The Eighth Prince's voice was hoarse.
Ye Yun's expression changed slightly: "But Chen Changli is helping us now. If we do this..."
"There are still a few days left." The Eighth Prince's chest rose and fell violently, as if his emotions were unstable. "Didn't you say that the situation has stabilized? According to this situation, a few days will be enough."
Ye Yun frowned unconsciously: "Your Highness, are you planning to take Chen Changli's life at this time?"
The Eighth Prince's eyes were as cold as ice, and his aura was terrifying, as if he could not suppress his murderous intent towards Chen Changli.
"He looked sick before, and was trapped in Prince Yong's Mansion, unable to go anywhere, so I ignored his lethality."
"Now that I have seen his ability again, and he happens to be the prince's man, I naturally cannot tolerate him any longer."
Ye Yun was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "Your Highness, why don't you kill someone with a borrowed knife? And test Wen Baicao at the same time."
The eighth prince tentatively asked the question in his mind: "Do you think a businessman can establish a new dynasty?"
From ancient times to the present, no businessman has ever become a founding emperor, so even if he knew that Wen Baicao was the victim of the Prince Mingde case, he still looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
The reason why they were on guard against him was because he had stayed with the Ninth Prince for some time, and his son had an emotional entanglement with Tu Zhizhi.
The Eighth Prince knew what Tu Zhizhi was capable of, and what he was most worried about was that Tu Zhizhi would betray him at this moment. Therefore, he was both disgusted and wary of Wen Baicao, someone who might induce Tu Zhizhi to betray him.
"Merchants have nothing but money, and the heroes of the world look down on them. If a merchant really wants to be emperor, these heroes will do their best to stop him."
As soon as Ye Yun heard what the eighth prince said, he immediately understood what he meant.
He quickly followed the Eighth Prince's train of thought, and when the Eighth Prince looked satisfied, he quickly changed the subject.
"But Wen Baicao is not just a businessman. He comes from a prominent family and is a victim of the Prince Mingde case."
"He must have accumulated a lot of wealth during his years as a businessman. If he wanted to be the founding emperor, he would have used the money to help many victims of the Prince Mingde case."
"As far as I know, those implicated in the case of Prince Mingde were all descendants of aristocratic families. The reason why the case was so tragic was because many aristocratic families were destroyed along with Prince Mingde."
"But even a broken ship weighs three pounds of iron, not to mention these aristocratic families. If Wen Baicao targets these people and secretly plots for many years, none of the princes can be his opponent."
Ye Yun said this with a heavy heart, and suddenly felt that if Wen Baicao was determined, he could indeed do this.
"Your Highness, we can't take him lightly, but we can't show it too obviously, otherwise it will alert the enemy."
The Eighth Prince snorted coldly: "If Wen Baicao has such thoughts, I will kill him with a single blow."
Hearing his unhappy tone, it seemed that he felt that Wen Baicao was just a businessman now and had no right to compete for the world. Ye Yun wanted to give him some advice, but didn't know how.
He pondered for a moment, looked into the Eighth Prince's eyes and expressed his thoughts: "If Wen Baicao has been planning this for many years, then Chang Xuewei and Xintianhui may be the shields he has put forward."
"Tell me in detail." The Eighth Prince was stunned.
Ye Yun carefully considered his words and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Chen Changli said that Chang Xuewei is the granddaughter of Prince Mingde. So the fact that she is still alive today may be due to Wen Baicao's efforts."
"And it's possible that he was the one who fueled the idea that Your Majesty and the Queen had. In other words, the birth of the prince was his plan."
"What's his purpose in doing this?" the Eighth Prince was shocked.
Ye Yun was not a worm in Wen Baicao's stomach, so he couldn't guess his plan, but he felt that he had bad intentions.
"Perhaps he wants to make the whole world despise Your Majesty, so that he can ascend to the throne smoothly."
"Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The older His Majesty gets, the more confused he becomes, causing him to make many mistakes. Dajing is experiencing natural disasters and man-made calamities at this moment, which naturally disrupts his plans."
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he couldn't help but feel that Ye Yun's guess was right, and he immediately hated Wen Baicao so much that his eyes could bleed: "This abominable thief, this prince and he can never coexist."
