SWNOVELS Chapter 1572 Duanmu Ge's Ambition (1)
"The one who put the Beast Attracting Grass was His Highness, the second prince?" Liang Zongxing said with an ugly expression.
"Pretty much."
Lu Zijia paused for a moment and said again, "If you think you need to be cautious and don't want to wrong the second prince, we can lure him out."
Liang Zongxing didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Duanmu Heng, obviously asking him to decide for himself.
After all, the second prince was Duanmu Heng's brother after all, and their relationship was usually passable.
Duanmu Heng was silent for a moment before he finally made a decision. "I believe Jia'er, but what you said just now isn't enough. Father won't believe it without conclusive evidence."
The main thing was that his image as the second prince was too deeply rooted in people's minds. Without conclusive evidence, it was very difficult to believe otherwise.
Liang Zongxing nodded in agreement. "That's right. Besides, we don't know how far the second prince's power has developed. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to alert the enemy rashly."
"Lure the snake out of its hole. I suggest we split up," Mu Tianyan suddenly said.
Everyone's gaze was instantly attracted by him, waiting for him to continue.
"Uncle, you can make up an excuse not to go to the Imperial City on the surface, but you're actually going alone in secret to investigate the situation. If you find something wrong, you can save her first."
The person Mu Tianyan was talking about was undoubtedly Liang Wenmei, who was imprisoned in the cold palace. She was also Duanmu Heng's mother, Consort Xian.
"The others will travel with the second prince. If the second prince was really ambitious, he would definitely think of a way to get rid of the fourth prince. The key is whether he will get rid of him on the way or to make a move after returning to the Imperial City. Once Uncle confirms that Consort Xian is safe, we can boldly test the second prince. If he really has ambitions for that position, he'll definitely do something."
Everyone present nodded after hearing that, apparently agreeing with what Mu Tianyan said.
Lu Zijia even gave her man a thumbs up with a smile. What he said today was one and a half times more than yesterday!
After the discussion, Lu Zijia took out a lot of pills, talismans and other things for Liang Zongxing, which could help him reach the Imperial City faster.
Three days later. It was the day they agreed to set off for the Imperial City with Duanmu Ge.
As Lu Zijia and the others expected, Duanmu Ge didn't see Liang Zongxing and indeed asked why he didn't go to the imperial city.
"My father has just advanced to the Golden Core realm and his cultivation level hasn't stabilized yet, so he asked my brother and me to go to the Imperial City on his behalf. I hope you can understand, Your Highness," Liang Yingyue took a step forward and said to Duanmu Ge.
Duanmu Ge looked at Duanmu Heng when he heard that. Seeing Duanmu Heng nod slightly with a normal expression, he smiled and said, "Miss Liang, you're worrying too much. As a cultivator, I naturally know how important it is for cultivators to consolidate their cultivation. If Father knows, he'll definitely understand."
Even though Duanmu Ge said that, he had a question in his mind, because Liang Zongxing's seclusion was too coincidental.contemporary romance
However, he couldn't find anything wrong with the reason that he wanted to consolidate his cultivation.
So, Duanmu Ge went to the imperial city with Lu Zijia and the others as the question lingered in his mind.
The journey was quite calm.
Half a month later.
Duanmu Ge took advantage of the time when he stopped to rest to find an excuse to leave and quietly came to the hidden forest.
"What is it?"
Duanmu Ge frowned and looked at Wang Jiu, who had also left the team quietly and met up with him.
Sensing Duanmu Ge's obvious displeasure, Wang Jiu quickly sent a voice transmission. "Your Highness, there's news from the Imperial City. The Emperor is about to die. They want you to go back quickly."
