As this person grew older and had always had the upper hand, he was easily muddle-headed and abnormally stubborn. He became more and more
satisfied with his power, so he brazenly recruited soldiers everywhere, raised the flag high, and rebelled.
Now that Prince Ying had seen the Emperor in this state, he would definitely regret listening to him and thinking of killing him to apologize to the Emperor in the Imperial Capital.
Just as Prince Yi thought of this, he saw the butler of the residence come with his men.
The four men hurriedly drew their swords and protected Prince Yi.
“Don’t be rude,” Prince Yi said. As he spoke, he continued drinking the medicine.
The four men had no choice but to put away their swords and stand on both sides.
The butler acted as if he didn’t see the four men. He bowed slightly and said politely, “His Highness has invited you to his room.”
Because Prince Yi lived in the palace, he was considered one of the palace’s guests. He still had to be treated formally.
“Alright.” Prince Yi nodded. “I’ll go after I drink the medicine.” After saying that, he continued to drink his medicine unhurriedly.
After he finished drinking the medicine, he got off the bed and followed the butler to the hall in front.
When Prince Ying saw Prince Yi, he pulled out the sword from the guard’s hand and pointed it at him. “You’re so young, yet you’re already so cunning with your words. I fell for your trap. If you really sent people to Xinyuan to do all those treasonous things, what would happen to you when you grow up? Today, I will take this responsibility and personally cut off your head. Only then will I not let down the Emperor’s grace!”
With that, the sword stabbed him.
“Your Highness, can’t you see what happened to the Ji family?” Prince Yi didn’t dodge.
Prince Ying instantly paused, the tip of the sword stopping right in front of him.
It was so close to killing him.
Prince Yi said, “The Emperor spent fifteen years uprooting the Ji family. He even sent someone to pretend to be him and make my mother pregnant with me. He made me a prince for seven years just to stabilize the Ji family. Do you think he won’t use the same method to deal with you? He’ll make you loyal to him, and then he will slowly subdue you. Do you trust the Emperor so much?” Prince Yi asked when he saw that Prince Ying had relented.
Prince Ying pondered for a moment before finally putting down his sword. It was true that he did not trust the Emperor that much.
The guard quickly came up to take the sword away.
Prince Ying seemed to be completely out of sorts. He slowly walked to the chair before falling back into it.
“Your Highness?” The butler bowed and called out softly.
Prince Ying seemed to have recovered from his shock. He looked at Prince Yi and smiled. “l was the one who b.u.mped into you. I hope you won’t take offense.’
“Of course not.’
“Then, on to the next thing…” Prince Ying looked at him. “What should I do?”
Prince Yi said, “To take away your power, Emperor Hao sent people to secretly bring back the people he captured alive. I believe that he won’t confront you head-on for the time being.
“Emperor Hao has a lot of troops now and it’s his prime. If you confront him head-on, it won’t be impactful. You will lose. You can’t send troops to attack first.
“Emperor Hao is presumably trying to maintain his benevolent reputation. But I will send someone to keep an eye on him. Likely, there are already people from the Emperor watching your every move in Jingyue. It’s best to find these people first and deal with them. Even if Emperor Hao sends troops to suppress you in Jingyue, no one will show up to support him..”
