In the early dynasty, the crown prince suggested to the emperor that the king of Wei assist King Jing to go to Jinling to take charge of the imperial examination.

King Jing immediately came out and said that he didn't need anyone's help. He knew in his heart that the purpose of the prince sending King Wei to assist him was to spy on him, and more to sabotage his affairs. He will never allow the eighth child to ruin his good deeds.

The prince put on a posture of a good brother and kindly persuaded King Jing, saying that he went to Jinling alone to do things, and he was not at ease as a brother, so he asked King Wei to accompany him. He also said that with the help of King Wei, he could do things smoothly in Jinling.

After hearing the prince's words, King Jing sneered with disdain, and then unceremoniously said something disgusted and belittled King Wei.

When the prince heard King Jing say this, King Wei was dissatisfied, and lectured King Jing.

King Wei himself did not open his mouth to refute King Jing's words, he lowered his head and did not say a word.

King Jing did not pay attention to the crown prince, and he told the emperor that he could do good things by going to Jinling alone, and he did not need anyone's help.

The acting king saw that King Jing and the crown prince were arguing, lest the world would speak for King Jing without chaos. He said that King Jing is the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he should believe in his own brother's ability. He also helped King Jing say good things, reassuring the emperor and let King Jing go to Jinling alone to be responsible for presiding over the imperial examination.

The crown prince saw that the acting king was instigating him and King Jing, and asked the acting king not to sow discord with a cold face. The reason why he asked King Wei to assist King Jing was mainly because he was worried about King Jing.

When the emperor saw that the king and the crown prince were about to quarrel again, he interrupted them with a straight face.

He took a deep look at King Wei, and immediately agreed to let King Wei assist King Jing and follow King Jing to Jinling.

King Jing glared at the prince hatefully, and immediately reluctantly accepted King Wei's assistance to him.

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to play, the emperor asked Sun Kui to announce his retirement from the court.

After the emperor left, King Jing walked up to the prince and said with a displeased face that he would never let the prince get his wish. The crown prince only smiled at this, and gently told King Jing and King Wei to get along well.

King Jing glared at the prince viciously, then at King Wei, and said, "Let's see."

Before King Jing became an adult, he was still very polite to the prince's brother on the surface, but since he became an adult, he didn't bother to pretend anymore, unabashedly showing his dissatisfaction with the prince's brother, and also showing his ambition for the prince's position.

"Big brother, looking at Brother Seventh like this, he really wants Jinling to hold the imperial examination smoothly." King Wei walked beside the crown prince and whispered, "Seventh Brother is really going to spoil our business. ”

The crown prince thought of King Jing confronting him in the court, and his eyes were full of coldness. He said in a deep voice: "He can't make any waves, but you still have to be optimistic about him." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Seventh Brother and never let him spoil our affairs." King Wei assured the crown prince.

The prince suddenly thought of something, took out a token from his bosom and handed it to King Wei, and gently told King Wei: "With this token, the people over there in Jinling will obey your dispatch." ”

King Wei reached out and took the token and held it in his arms.

"With this token, you can do things in Jinling." The crown prince told King Wei again, "The main purpose of your trip to Jinling this time is not to see the seventh brother, but to go to Pengcheng to investigate that matter, you know?" ”

King Wei nodded seriously and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely find out the traitor over there in Pengcheng." ”

The crown prince raised his hand and patted King Wei's shoulder, "Pay attention to safety on the road." After speaking, he remembered King Jing's attitude towards King Wei, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "If you go to Jinling with the seventh brother, he will inevitably embarrass you......"

Before he finished his words, he heard King Wei say, "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will put up with Seventh Brother." ”

"Who told you to let him?" As an elder brother, the prince not only has no trouble with King Jing, but also has to tolerate King Jing. "He is a prince, you are also a prince, you have the same identity, no one is high or low, if he makes things difficult for you, you don't have to let him, you can do what you want."

King Wei didn't expect the crown prince to say this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Ah, big brother, are you serious?"

The crown prince lowered his voice and said to King Wei: "You help me teach him a good lesson, don't show mercy to your subordinates." ”

King Wei instantly understood what the prince meant, smiled meaningfully and said, "I understand, big brother." ”

The crown prince patted King Wei on the shoulder again, "You hurry up and go back and prepare." ”

"Big brother, I'll go first."

As soon as King Wei walked out of the palace gate, he saw Wei Mian beside King Chu.

Wei Mian stepped forward and respectfully saluted King Wei: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei. ”

King Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Mian, and asked in an indifferent tone, "What's the matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Wei, my Royal Highness has something to tell you, please move."

King Wei guessed what the King of Chu was looking for him, and said coldly: "Lead the way." ”

Wei Mian took the King of Wei to the King of Chu, who was waiting for the King of Wei in a secret place.

The King of Wei walked over and sat down opposite the King of Chu.

Wei Mian and Yu Hai guarded the door.

King Wei didn't want to stay with King Chu for long, so he said with a cold face: "I will find the tenth brother." ”

King Chu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at King Wei coldly, and showed a sneer on his face: "Who captured the tenth brother, I think you know best in your heart." ”

King Wei naturally knew who had kidnapped Zhao Yao. He also understood why the King of Chu said this.

"No matter who captures the tenth brother, I will save the tenth brother and will not let him go."

"I hope you can do what you say." As the King of Chu spoke, his eyes suddenly became very sharp, and he warned the King of Wei in a gloomy tone, "If you put your tenth brother in danger for your own selfishness, I will never let you go." ”

"You'd better mind your own business." King Wei stood up and looked at King Chu with a cold look in his eyes, "You don't need to worry about the affairs of the tenth brother. ”

The King of Chu asked, "Who is the tenth brother arrested this time for?" ”

Although Zhao Yao's arrest has nothing to do with King Wei, it has something to do with the prince's people. King Wei didn't expect that the people on the other side of Jinling would dare to arrest Zhao Yao recklessly.

King Wei didn't say anything to King Chu again, and turned around and left directly.

After a while, Wei Mian walked in. Seeing that King Chu's face was displeased, he hesitated before asking, "Your Highness, is His Royal Highness King Wei unwilling to save His Royal Highness the Ten?" ”

"Nope."

"Since His Royal Highness King Wei promised to save His Royal Highness the Tenth, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that he's putting the tenth brother in danger again." Although no one in Jinling is in King Chu, he has a little understanding of the affairs in Jinling, "The arrest of the tenth brother this time has nothing to do with him. ”

"Your Highness, if you really don't feel at ease, the slave can go to Jinling quietly."

"Jinling is not our territory, and it is not good for you to go." The king of Chu wanted to go to Jinling to find his tenth brother in person, but he had a heavy responsibility to go to Pengcheng, so he couldn't leave to go to Jinling. Besides, if he goes to Jinling, he will attract the attention of the prince's people, and at that time, not only will he not be able to save the tenth brother, but it will make the tenth brother's situation even more dangerous.

Wei Mian knew that the King of Chu had been worried about Zhao Yao's safety during these days, and comforted him: "Your Highness, although His Royal Highness the King of Wei is insidious and treacherous, he is also very concerned about the Ten Highnesses, and the slave maid feels that he will definitely find the Ten Highnesses." ”

King Chu said coldly: "If he can't find the tenth brother, then he doesn't need to live in this world." ”

"That's what Your Highness said."

King Chu stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to set off too." ”

"Your Highness, if you go to Pengcheng this time, the crown prince and the acting king will definitely send someone to assassinate you, we have to be careful." His Royal Highness's departure from the capital is a good opportunity for the crown prince and the acting king to assassinate His Royal Highness, and they will never miss this opportunity.

The King of Chu bowed slightly: "Act according to the plan." ”

After King Wei saw Queen Chu, he did not rush to the dock, but returned to King Wei's mansion first, and he had something to explain. By the time he went to the docks, King Jing had already left. He had already guessed that King Jing would not wait for him, nor would he go to Jinling with him.

King Jing didn't wait for him, just what he wanted. If he was on the same boat as King Jing, he would have a lot of things that were inconvenient for him to do.

The king of Chu did not choose to go to Pengcheng by boat, but rode directly to Pengcheng.

Sure enough, they were guessed by the king of Chu, and they were assassinated one after another on the way to Pengcheng, but fortunately, the king of Chu had already prepared and did not let the crown prince and the people of the acting king succeed.

Zhao Yao, who was far away in Jinling, was still locked up in that secret room, still locked up with the man who was too beautiful. However, in the past few days, people who are too beautiful have begun to talk to him, and they no longer ignore him as much as before.
