Capítulo 2119: Chapter 2119: Weirdo
“You fool, don’t you know how many eyes are watching this prince in the Capital? Especially those imperial brothers of mine, who can’t wait for sothing to happen to . Despite my countless warnings, you still went to report it to the authorities. Tell , are you a spy sent by another prince?” The Fourth Prince was extrely furious.
The steward, both shocked and frightened, kowtowed desperately on the ground, “Fourth Prince, I am wronged! This servant is wholeheartedly devoted to the Fourth Prince, with absolutely no disloyalty.”
“If that’s the case, why did you harm this prince?” At this mont, the Fourth Prince detested the steward greatly. If the Fourth Prince’s mansion wasn’t already under intense scrutiny, he would have used the steward for martial arts practice.
The steward’s forehead was bleeding, and he continued to kowtow sincerely, “It was an unintended mistake by this servant. Fourth Prince, spare my life!”
The Fourth Prince irritably waved his hand and said angrily, “Enough, send soone to investigate and find out who is behind this.”
“Yes, this servant will handle it imdiately.”
“Now hurry up and leave.”
“Yes.”
The steward was terrified, never having seen the Fourth Prince this angry.
Damn it, who is spreading rumors? Once found, we’ll skin this rumor-monger alive for causing the Fourth Prince to scold him, the steward thought viciously to himself.
The steward, filled with panic and fear, ran out to find soone to investigate who was spreading the rumor.
Once the steward was gone, the Fourth Prince imdiately went to seek help from Lin Kong to co up with a strategy.
The Fourth Prince’s mansion was very large, and the Fourth Prince had specially arranged a luxurious courtyard for Lin Kong, staffed with dozens of maids and servant boys dedicated to attending to Lin Kong.
When the Fourth Prince entered, Lin Kong was having breakfast and, feeling troubled, waved his hand toward the maids in the hall, saying, “You all leave. This prince has sothing to discuss with Master.”
“Yes.”
The maids all withdrew.
Lin Kong glanced up at the Fourth Prince and asked, “Disciple, what’s wrong? Still upset about last night?”
Thinking of last night’s six million taels of silver, the Fourth Prince still felt distressed. That was his entire fortune, and he bought the much-desired miracle dicine. Yet, instead, he only got his imperial father’s precious bottle. All of this was already overwhelming, and to hear more bad news in the morning made him feel murderous.
Thus, the Fourth Prince recounted the steward’s words verbatim to Lin Kong.
“Master, this matter has caused a public uproar, and they’re all pointing fingers at , calling a murder demon.”
Lin Kong glanced at the Fourth Prince and calmly said while continuing to eat breakfast, “Disciple, you are indeed a murder demon. People are just stating facts. Why are you nervous?”
The Fourth Prince was unsettled and said, “Master, we can’t let others know about this. If it gets exposed, how will I ever secure the position of Crown Prince? Don’t you still want to be the State Preceptor?”
Lin Kong leisurely chanted a phrase, “What is destined to be will be, what is not won’t be forced.”
At a ti like this, the Fourth Prince was almost dying of anxiety. Why was his master so nonchalant?
The Fourth Prince, frustrated, cried out, “Master?”
Lin Kong put down his spoon, picked up a handkerchief to gently wipe his mouth, and said, “How unambitious, getting rattled by such a small matter, yet you want to beco the Crown Prince?”
Fourth Prince: “Then what should I do?”
Lin Kong: “Disciple, are you sure no one saw you when you committed the murder?”
The Fourth Prince tried hard to rember and suddenly recalled the weirdo and woman who broke into the Fourth Prince’s mansion that night.
“Master.”
“Hmm.”
“Could this matter be related to the weirdo and woman from that night?”
