Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord Chapter 1924: Something’s Wrong

Upon learning that the War Prince’s Mansion was attacked by assassins, the citizens were not only talking but filled with righteous indignation. Their peaceful lives were all thanks to the War Prince, and now hearing that soone, who turned out to be none other than the current Pri Minister, wants to assassinate him, everyone was infuriated.

Imdiately, soone hurriedly found a scholar to draft a Petition of the People, containing tens of thousands of words, accusing the Pri Minister of abusing his power. Not only did he arbitrarily slaughter the citizens, but he also openly sent people to assassinate the ritorious War Prince. His heinous acts are truly shocking and show disregard for Moli Country’s laws.

The Petition of the People further stated that the Emperor always said that the Princes and the ordinary people were equally guilty under the law. It hopes that in dealing with the issue of the Pri Minister, the Emperor will be consistent in word and deed and provide an explanation to everyone.

Once the Petition of the People was written,

soone took responsibility for carrying the Petition from house to house, explaining its purpose. Everyone, without a second thought, pressed their fingerprints onto it. By noon, the lengthy Petition of the People was completed, covered densely with the fingerprints of the citizens.

After finalizing the Petition, everyone discussed how to prevent certain officials from colluding to suppress it and not present it to the Emperor.

Eventually, as a precautionary asure, it was decided to entrust the Petition to General Situ, allowing him to present it to the Emperor during the morning court.

The citizens had wisdom, knowing that General Situ was a family ally of the War Prince’s Mansion, ensuring he wouldn’t side with outsiders and neglect the mansion. Passing the Petition to him and having him present it to the Emperor was the safest route.

Upon hearing this, Xuexue showed a satisfied smile, for this was exactly the effect she wanted. Let the city’s citizens push the Emperor; even if he wished to protect the Pri Minister, given the pressure, he wouldn’t dare do so boldly.

Pri Minister’s residence.

Since he agreed with the Fourth Prince to kill Situtu Xueer, the Pri Minister was racking his brains. It was no easy task to assassinate soone within the heavily guarded War Prince’s Mansion.

Moreover, the War Prince was renowned for his exceptional martial arts, and the Pri Minister was not foolish enough to crash a chicken against a rock. He needed a ticulous plan and to seize the perfect opportunity for a successful strike.

Finally, one day, he learned that the War Prince had urgent business and was out of the mansion.

Thus, that night, he arranged for over a hundred skilled Hidden Guards to attack the War Prince’s Mansion. As a precaution, their weapons were coated with deadly poison, ensuring that the task would be executed more efficiently.

After the Hidden Guards set off, the Pri Minister couldn’t sleep, pacing in the study, awaiting good news.

However, after the rooster crowed thrice, there was still no sign of the Hidden Guards returning.

This ti, he was truly anxious; could it be that the War Prince had returned to the mansion and sothing had happened to his n?

The Pri Minister was very confident in his subordinates, believing no one other than the War Prince could harm them. If sothing went wrong, it surely ant the War Prince had co back.

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he beca. Thus, before dawn, he ordered soone to investigate whether the War Prince had entered the city the previous night.

Soon, a servant returned to report that the War Prince had not entered the city the previous night, and the Pri Minister was relieved. As long as the War Prince had not returned, his n would be safe; it must be sothing that delayed them from reporting tily.

By this ti, dawn had broken. The Pri Minister, being elderly, was feeling weary, so he lay down to rest for a while.

"Pri Minister, Pri Minister, sothing terrible has happened."

No sooner had the Pri Minister laid down than a servant hurriedly ca running and knocked at the door.

"Bang bang bang...!"
