Chapter 100 He finally took action.

 The next day, many people in the capital of Muyuan State received a piece of news.

Last night, a major event occurred in the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince's five-year-old son died.

The second prince was in great grief, and even the King of Muyuan State was anxious and angry when he heard the bad news. He fainted due to his anger.

The palace was in chaos, the lights in the king's bedroom were on, and all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital rushed over.

But King Muyuan was slow to wake up, and even the morning court was cancelled.

There was a lot of discussion in the court. On the surface, the ministers were concerned and worried about the old ruler, but in fact, they were secretly calculating in their hearts.

Should they seek refuge with the Second Prince?

Or would it be more beneficial to join the Fifth Prince's sect?

In a room in the guest house of the Fifth Prince's mansion.

Chu Yuan handed the note in his hand to Cheng Shengxuan beside him, then put one foot on the chair and leaned lazily against the back of the chair.

"Tsk tsk, this fifth prince is so cruel."

The child was showing signs of fever going down, yet in the middle of winter they actually sent someone to open the windows and change the medicine.

Cheng Shengxuan looked at the note, his lips tightly pursed, his brows tightly knitted, and his face solemn.

He still took action.

Chu Yuan stood up, walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Fortunately, we didn't choose him. Otherwise, given how ruthless he is, if he really became emperor, he would target your Cheng family first."

"snort!"

Cheng Shengxuan snorted coldly and threw the note into the fire, where it was instantly ignited.

"That depends on whether he has the ability to do so!"

Then he picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea, and looked at Chu Yuan.

"Has that thing been delivered?"

"Don't worry…"

Chu Yuan thought he was pouring tea for himself, and was about to take it with his hand stretched out, but Cheng Shengxuan put the cup directly to his mouth.

Chu Yuan: "…"

Okay, I'll do it myself.

He secretly rolled his eyes, pouted, turned his hand smoothly, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry about me doing the job. I've already handed it over to that person."

"He also asked you to meet him on the day of the winter hunt."

Cheng Shengxuan exhaled slowly, and his brows relaxed a little.

"That's good."

…

This day is the East Hunting Day.

Despite the tragic loss of his legitimate son, the Second Prince must cheer up and concentrate on preparing for all matters.

"Second brother, I want to express my condolences for Ah Xu's matter."

Shang Xiaomin patted the second prince's shoulder with a sad face.

"There are many things to do during the winter hunt. If you need any help, please let me know."

"snort!"

Shang Xiaohui slapped his hand away and glared at him with gritted teeth.

"You don't need to pretend to be kind here!"

Shang Xiaomin looked at him innocently.

"Brother, Ah Xu died young. I saw that you were too sad. I was afraid that you would not have enough energy for the time being. After all, this winter hunt is a big event, so I just wanted to help."

"Since Second Brother doesn't need it, then I will leave."

King Muyuan, who was getting off the carriage with the help of his young and beautiful concubine, happened to see this scene.

"Second brother!"

The two brothers and everyone around them quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Greetings, Father!"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, and to Her Majesty the Snow Queen."

King Muyuan covered his mouth with a handkerchief embroidered with black gold thread and coughed twice.

"Ahem!"

Then he raised his hand.

"Everyone, get up."

He looked at the second prince.

"Second brother, Ah Xu is in trouble. I know you are sad, but you are the elder brother and you cannot take your anger out on the fifth brother for no reason."

Shang Xiaohui lowered his head, with an icy coldness in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

Lao Wu still loves to play such tricks.

But this time Lao Wu was wrong, and he would not argue with him in public like he did before.

"Father is teaching me that it is me who is wrong."

He turned and looked at Shang Xiaomin.

"Fifth brother, my second brother is in a bad mood today and his tone was a little harsh. You are always considerate and you will definitely understand my second brother, right?"

Hearing him say this, Shang Xiaomin was subconsciously stunned, but quickly reacted and smiled at him.

"It's natural. How could I blame my second brother?"

I can't believe it, my penis has grown!

"Haha!"

The second prince smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Fifth brother!"

Shang Xiaomin held his hand.

"Second brother!"

The "friendly and respectful" appearance of the two men greatly pleased the old king.

"Okay, seeing you brothers getting along so well, I feel relieved."

Hearing this, the two brothers forced a smile and continued to exchange glances.

The ministers around and the palace servants all lowered their heads.

It's freezing cold and I'm sweating profusely.

The king is really old. Not only does he have a bad memory, but his eyesight is also not good.

How can the two princes be harmonious with each other?

Sensing that the atmosphere around them was not right, the beautiful Xue Fei beside them turned her eyes, then covered her lips and laughed.

"Oh, my Lord, it's so cold here. My legs are numb from the cold. Let's get into the tent quickly."

Hearing this voice, the old king looked at Concubine Xue, his old and turbid eyes still holding a hint of heat.

He reached out and held Xue Fei in his arms, and as he walked towards the tent, he leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Numb from the cold?"

"Then you just rest in the tent and don't come out."

Concubine Xue clenched her fist and gently hit the old king's chest.

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed. There are so many people here. What are you talking about?"

As she spoke, she glanced behind her, her gaze lingering on someone for a moment, then she turned back as if nothing had happened.

After the old king brought Concubine Xue into the tent, the rest of the ministers also walked out in groups of three or four, away from this place of trouble.

"Then I will go and prepare first. I wish my second brother will come out on top again this year!"

After saying that, Shang Xiaomin bowed and left with a smile.

The moment he turned around, the corners of his mouth instantly straightened.

Shang Xiaohui stood where he was, staring fiercely at Shang Xiaomin's back. There seemed to be two balls of burning anger in his eyes, and he wished he could burn two holes in Shang Xiaomin.

Xu'er's case was so bizarre that all the guards who were on night watch that night were knocked unconscious, and the servants who served him committed suicide out of fear of the crime afterwards.

It was as if those few servants were really holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Clean and neat, without leaving any clues.

But the absence of doubts is actually the biggest clue.

Now, in the entire Mu Yuan, he couldn't think of anyone else except Lao Wu who had been fighting with him openly and secretly!

Shang Xiaohui clenched his fists so tightly that his joints made crackling sounds.

Shang Xiaomin, the hatred of killing your son is irreconcilable, just wait for me!

On the other side, Shang Xiaomin's face became completely gloomy after returning to the tent.

"How is it going?"

Qingye lowered his head respectfully.

"Another group of people has been arranged. There are also our people among the guards around the king. We just need to wait for the situation to become chaotic and then take action."

Shang Xiaomin nodded.

"good."

There was some hesitation on Qingye's face.

"Your Highness, even if you want to take advantage of the chaos to get us out, isn't that a bit too risky?"

"I am worried..."

"No need to say more!"

Shang Xiaomin raised his hand and interrupted him harshly.

"If you want to achieve great things, you have to pay a price!"

"By the way, where is Cheng Shengxuan?"

Aoba replied.

"He is deploying according to the original plan, Your Highness. The plan has changed. Are we really not going to tell him?"

Shang Xiaomin didn't even think about it.

"No need!"
