Chapter 300 Wake up
Chapter 300 Wake up
"The imperial physician is still studying it, but there is no serious problem for the time being." Lin Congyun shook his head and said.
Hearing Lin Congyun's words, the Seventh Prince nodded and said, "That's good. Fifth brother is a lucky person. God will be happy. Everything will be fine."
"Yeah." Lin Congyun smiled when he heard that, then looked at the Seventh Prince and asked, "By the way, Seventh Brother, you came to see me late at night, what's the matter?"
When the Seventh Prince heard Lin Congyun ask this, he remembered the purpose of his coming here.
He looked at Lin Congyun and said solemnly, "Second brother, I got the news that the eldest brother is trying to recruit people to his camp in the court!"
"Oh? Is that true?" Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's absolutely true." The Seventh Prince said with certainty.
Lin Congyun frowned when he heard this and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, wondering what he was thinking.
"Second brother, should we do something? If the eldest prince can win everyone over, then..." The seventh prince looked at Lin Congyun and said worriedly.
"Seventh brother, who told you that?" Lin Congyun interrupted the Seventh Prince, raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes.
"This..." The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but thinking that there was nothing to hide about this matter, he said directly: "It was the son of the Minister of Revenue, Song Yangqing. He accidentally let it slip when he was having dinner with me today."
Hearing the words of the Seventh Prince, Lin Congyun frowned slightly.
The son of the Minister of Revenue?
As far as he knew, Song Yangqing was a dandy boy who had no education and spent his days in debauchery. How could the Seventh Prince have any dealings with such a person?
Moreover, the Seventh Prince has been staying in the Second Prince's residence these days on the pretext of recuperating. When asked to return to the Seventh Prince's residence, he always said that he couldn't eat or sleep well in the residence alone, so it would be better for him to stay here.
Lin Congyun didn’t say anything at first. If you want to stay, just stay.
I didn't expect that I would go out to eat with Song Yangqing, and happened to find out such a private matter. This was too much of a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Lin Congyun couldn't help but look at the Seventh Prince with a hint of scrutiny.
Seeing that Lin Congyun had not spoken yet, the Seventh Prince could not help but ask, "Second Brother, what should we do next?"
"Seventh brother, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to think about it carefully."
Hearing what Lin Congyun said, although the Seventh Prince was somewhat dissatisfied, he thought that he could not do anything now, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and nodded.
"Then second brother, think about it carefully, I will go back first."
After saying that, the Seventh Prince stood up, bowed to Lin Congyun, turned around and strode out of the study.
Looking at the seventh prince's back, Lin Congyun frowned, a thoughtful look on his face.
After leaving the study, the Seventh Prince did not go directly back to his guest room, but turned into a remote corner.
He stood in the corner, looking up at the dark night sky, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. After the Seventh Prince noticed it, he turned around and looked. When he saw the face of the person, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"why you?"
"What? Are you surprised to see me?" The man in black looked at the seventh prince, smiled and said.
"What are you doing here? If you are discovered, I..." The Seventh Prince looked at the man in black and said vigilantly.
"Don't worry, no one has discovered me." The man in black interrupted the seventh prince and said to him, "I came to you today because I have something to tell you."
Hearing what the man in black said, the Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"what's up?"
"The eldest prince has already begun to take action. Our people have received news that he has contacted many officials in private, trying to win them over to support his ascension to the throne." The man in black looked at the seventh prince and said solemnly.
"What?!" Upon hearing this news, the Seventh Prince was shocked. "How dare he be so blatant?"
"What is there for him to be afraid of? He now has the support of the Queen Mother and has won over many officials. Naturally, he has nothing to fear." The man in black said with a sneer.
"Then what should we do?" The Seventh Prince looked at the man in black and asked worriedly.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death." The man in black looked at the Seventh Prince, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "You continue to stay in the Second Prince's Mansion and find a way to gain his trust, and then..."
The man in black leaned close to the Seventh Prince's ear and whispered something, then he stood up, looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Do you understand?"
The Seventh Prince nodded upon hearing this, "I understand."
"Very good, then let's do as we said just now." The man in black patted the seventh prince on the shoulder, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the direction where the man in black disappeared, the Seventh Prince took a deep breath, then turned around and strode away from the corner.
In the following days, the Seventh Prince stayed obediently in the Second Prince's Mansion. Apart from going to the study to find Lin Congyun every day, he stayed in the guest room reading.
Lin Congyun never mentioned what happened that day again, as if he had already forgotten it.
Although the Seventh Prince was somewhat anxious, he could only suppress his anxiety and continue to wait for his opportunity when he thought of what the man in black had told him.
On the other hand, the eldest prince was also not idle. He had been secretly winning over officials and expanding his own power.
As a result, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense.
Time flies and half a month has passed.
That day, the seventh prince went to the study to find Lin Congyun as usual.
As soon as he walked into the study, he saw Lin Congyun walking back and forth in the study with an anxious look on his face. When he saw the Seventh Prince coming in, he hurried to greet him.
"Seventh brother, you are finally here."
Seeing Lin Congyun's anxious look, the Seventh Prince's heart tightened and he quickly asked, "Second brother, what happened?"
"Hey, it's the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Someone has been caught with evidence of him embezzling disaster relief funds. Now my father, the emperor, is furious and has ordered a thorough investigation of the matter." Lin Congyun looked at the seventh prince and said with a worried look on his face.
"What?!" Upon hearing the news, the Seventh Prince showed a look of shock on his face.
The Minister of Revenue is the eldest prince's right-hand man. If anything happens to him, the eldest prince will definitely be implicated.
Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but feel excited.
However, he did not show it, but looked at Lin Congyun and asked: "Second brother, what should we do now?"
As soon as the Seventh Prince asked this, he felt something was wrong and asked again, "Seventh Brother, did you just say that our father was furious?"
Lin Congyun nodded, "Yes!"
"Is Father awake?"
