Chapter 265 Ruins
Prince Li's face suddenly turned dark. "Why is there no sign at all? Yue Song, there is no news coming from there, why didn't you report it earlier?"
He picked up an inkstone and threw it at Yue Song.
Yue Song did not dodge or evade, but took it head-on.
His forehead was broken and blood soaked the study floor.
He knelt upright in front of Prince Li, lowering his head, "It is my fault. I was negligent. I will send someone to investigate right away."
Yue Song rolled and crawled out, not daring to delay.
If something really happened to the garrison, the prince would kill the entire family and all those related to the Yue family.
Qian Yuan also had his own plans. If Prince Li's power was weakened a little, he would be evenly matched with the other princes and would no longer have any advantage.
"Come here, take County Magistrate Lin away. We will discuss things later." Prince Li gave an order, and someone took Lin Chrom away.
"Mr. Qian, who do you think planted these people in the garrison?"
Prince Li knew clearly in his mind that this person must be of a high status, otherwise why would he follow him away.
Qian Yuan pointed to the sky, "Could it be that person?"
"It's him." Prince Li slammed the table and cursed loudly, "He is closely related to the death of the emperor. I didn't expect that he still refuses to give up!"
Qian Yuan quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"Mr. Qian, what do you think we should do next?" Prince Li's voice was filled with anger, and his tone was not very good.
"Your Highness, I don't know why that person started from here. We are completely in the dark about the situation in the capital. I heard that Magistrate Lin came from the capital and has a close relationship with Concubine Lian in the palace. Why don't we ask him?"
Qian Yuan was indeed interested in Lin Ge and wanted to get some valuable information from him.
"Yes, he has some connection with Imperial Concubine Zhonglian in the capital, so start with him."
After being reminded by him, Prince Li directly ordered the person to be brought over.
After this earthquake, news from the capital was cut off.
Prince Li also wanted to send someone to check it out, but unfortunately there were people guarding near the capital, who were only allowed to enter but not leave. Once they entered, it would be difficult for news to get out.
Lin Ge came over trembling with fear, feeling a little scared.
At this point, he couldn't help but regret coming to Prince Li's palace to surrender in a hurry.
"Lin Ge, are you surrendering to the prince now and joining his side?" Qian Yuan asked seriously.
After hearing this, Lin Ge felt relieved. "Yes! I can't go back to the capital. In this case, I must find a wise leader."
Speaking of wise leaders, Lin Ge glanced at King Li without caring about status.
Seeing that King Li was not angry, he dared to continue:
"I am from Ping County, Lingzhou, and I am a classmate of Bai Zhao. Bai Zhao's wife, Wei, and Concubine Lian are cousins..."
Lin Ge explained the relationship and began to focus on the things happening in the capital.
"Noble Concubine Lian was quite favored in the past few years and had cultivated a lot of power. I helped her deal with Bai Zhao's family, but when the plan was almost completed, Noble Concubine Lian turned against me and drove me out of the capital."
"The Eighth Prince is Concubine Lian's only son, but he is not favored by the Emperor. Concubine Lian and her son have always kept a low profile."
"This earthquake caused serious damage to the capital city, which has become a ruin. Several of the emperor's adult princes were killed in the aftershocks, leaving only the eighth prince."
Prince Li was already a little impatient after hearing him talk so much. "Speak to the point! Stop rambling. What is the connection between what you said and the appearance of the rebels in Jucheng this time?"
"Your Majesty, please listen to me first. I have several informants around Concubine Lian, and the news I got is absolutely true."
Hearing what he said, Qian Yuan couldn't help but glance at him a few times.
A minor official who came from a merchant family was able to place people in the imperial concubine's place. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
Qian Yuan was extremely alert and didn't want to miss any important news.
Lin Ge was definitely releasing a big news at this time, "In fact, the emperor has an illegitimate child raised outside. Concubine Lian discovered it a long time ago, but unfortunately she failed every time she tried."
Prince Li and Qian Yuan said at the same time, "Illegitimate child?"
The emperor hid this illegitimate child very well.
“This illegitimate child is very much loved by the emperor. The emperor covets the things of the Wei family and is also making plans for this prince.
Of course, no one else can check this information, it was obtained from Concubine Lian."
Qian Yuan listened silently without saying anything.
"This time, we, the princes, were really used as guns." Prince Li's expression became even uglier.
That man still loves to use these conspiracies and tricks as always.
"It's different with Concubine Lian! She was originally planning for the Eighth Prince. They coveted the resources of the Wei family, but they were used as pawns by the Emperor."
Lin Ge had something against Concubine Lian, and the dissatisfaction revealed in his words was obvious.
"After Concubine Lian was beaten by the emperor, she took her anger out on me. If I hadn't gotten the news in advance, none of our family would have had a good ending."
When Lin Ge thought of this, his feelings for Concubine Lian had long since vanished, and he now only regarded her as an enemy.
"Also, this time Imperial Concubine Lian also murdered several princes. But now the witnesses are dead, so her true face cannot be revealed. But God has eyes, and the Eighth Prince has a lame leg, so it's a pipe dream for him to climb to the top."
When Lin Ge talked about this, he became very excited.
Qian Yuan saw that he didn't have any point in what he said, so he quickly asked:
"Did the illegitimate child show up this time?"
Prince Li was more concerned about this, and he couldn't sit still. "Did the illegitimate child show up? Is he still alive?"
After the two asked, Lin Ge looked embarrassed, "Reporting to the prince, I don't know anything about the illegitimate child. Concubine Lian didn't find out where he ended up, and I don't know if the cattle are safe this time."
He really didn't know the specific news, and he didn't dare let the people he had planted with Concubine Lian to ask too many questions and attract attention.
"Your Majesty, County Magistrate Lin is also tired, why not let him go down and have a good rest!"
Lin Ge looked at Qian Yuan gratefully and said nothing.
Prince Li waved his hand and said, "Go and settle down! You don't have to go to Huaicheng, just stay in the palace."
When Qian Yuan heard this, he was shocked. This guy is not someone you can easily deal with. He has to be careful with him next time.
Lin Ge was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
If Prince Li were to become emperor, he would also be a direct descendant of the Dragon's patriot.
After everyone left, Qian Yuan spoke, "Your Majesty, the situation in the capital is a bit complicated, we still need to deploy some people. Such important news is only known now."
Prince Li nodded, "Yes! This brother of mine is always good at playing tricks, and he even has a hidden son. I don't know who the child's biological mother is, and she hid it so well."
"That person won't care about the royal family's opinion. It's better to get rid of this prince as soon as possible."
Qian Yuan had a worried look on his face, but he was extremely excited in his heart. Their Nalan family... would finally have the day to turn things around.
