The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 149 Another Assassination

Ning Yi's words touched the scar in the Fourth Prince's heart.

He had been busy with the rebellion recently, but this bastard reported it to the old emperor, forcing the Fourth Prince to interrupt many of his plans.

Of course I hate that bastard Lao Liu.

"Sixth Brother." The Fourth Prince's tone was gloomy, his voice full of threats: "Just based on what you said now, this prince will definitely cut you into pieces in the future."

He now hates Lao Liu to death.

I was worried that the second child would come and complain to the old man.

Who knew that in the end, Lao Liu, the trouble-making bastard, would show up.

He hasn't paid any attention to Lao Liu recently. Why does this guy have to pop out and annoy people like a flea?

Ning Yi snorted and rolled his eyes: "Do you still have a future?"

"Don't you think about it? With the second brother here, you still want to grab the throne and be buried with that old woman who has always been helping you?"

"If I were you, I'd get a remote fiefdom as soon as possible, and quickly go back to the mountains to be a local tyrant, and never come out again."

Ning Yi's words hurt the Fourth Prince so much that he wanted to fight him right now.

The Fourth Prince pointed at him and said, "Okay, Sixth Prince, just wait and see."

He threw his sleeves and left angrily.

Ning Yi looked at the back of this mentally ill guy leaving and raised his eyebrows in joy.

As long as he can be held down this time, his goal will be achieved.

......

In the East Palace Hall, the Second Prince was having breakfast.

After hearing the eunuch's report, the second prince burst into laughter.

"It's refreshing, really refreshing."

"Sixth Brother, you are indeed a good fighter chosen by me."

The second prince was extremely happy. The fourth prince was taken to the palace and given a beating. I believe it is time for him to behave himself.

The counselor beside him also smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your Highness, it's time to have a good rest this time."

"I believe that the Fourth Prince will not dare to act recklessly again. Instead, His Majesty will keep a closer watch on him."

"Well, not bad." The second prince was very satisfied.

"Let's see if the fourth prince dares to assassinate him again." The second prince dropped his chopsticks and stood up, saying with a click of his tongue, "The sixth prince performed well this time."

"And he always makes Old Four uncomfortable, and he does a lot of good things for me."

"When I ascend the throne, I will definitely spare his life."

Ning Yi's actions all along seemed to be a fight for the throne.

However, he has no development capabilities at all, and he just has multiple fathers-in-law who are ministers of war.

And there are hundreds of little servants.

In the eyes of the second prince, it was no different from playing house.

As long as Ning Yi is sensible and cooperates with the Second Prince honestly.

Don't be ungrateful. Wait until the old man dies and the new emperor ascends the throne.

The second prince thought that it would be better to give him a remote corner as a vassal king.

This would also demonstrate his magnanimity towards his brother who had seized the throne.

As for the fourth prince, that bastard was too ungrateful. After several assassination attempts, the second prince decided that he must beat him to death in the future.

The counselor smiled and complimented, "The Sixth Prince is arrogant and domineering, and has a simple mind. If Your Highness hadn't helped him several times, he would have been thrown into prison long ago."

"He will naturally express his gratitude to His Highness and be extremely grateful to His Highness."

There was laughter in the Second Prince's mansion.

But in the Fourth Prince's mansion, as soon as the Fourth Prince came back, he took a whip and started whipping the butler.

The butler was beaten so hard that he rolled on the ground and screamed for mercy for a long time.

The Fourth Prince was tired of beating this loser who couldn't even find out who spread the rumor, so he told him to get out.

Even though the butler was beaten black and blue, he was still the Fourth Prince's most trusted confidant.

He stood obediently, enduring the pain, and asked quietly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, should we ask the other troops to restrain themselves?"

After being glared at by the Fourth Prince, the butler knelt down again without hesitation: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

The Fourth Prince snorted coldly: "Why restrain yourself?"

"Just because you were frightened by the old guy, you won't move?"

"Tell them to train well for this prince and continue to expand the army."

"The old man is now a blind man trapped in the palace. There is nothing to be afraid of."

The Fourth Prince also knew through his own channels that the old man's most loyal eunuch, Eunuch Zhao, had betrayed him long ago.

"Has the commander of the Royal Guard been captured yet?"

The butler immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

"We have taken control of the family of the commander of the Royal Guards."

"And I also promised him that if you succeed in ascending the throne, you will definitely make him a marquis. However, he needs a letter from you personally, Your Highness, guaranteeing that you will not take revenge after the success."

The butler looked at the Fourth Prince's expression and said cautiously, "Your Highness, I think he is courting death by making such a request."

"If I take the letter to the Emperor..."

"That's all." The Fourth Prince said without any worries: "It's just a letter. I'll write it myself. I believe he won't abandon his entire family just for this old guy."

"Once the Imperial Guards are under control, the entire palace will be under this prince's control."

The Prime Minister asked the Fourth Prince to stop, but the Fourth Prince was naturally unwilling to do so.

Instead, he became even crazier and did a lot of things in private.

But the Fourth Prince was furious when he thought of that bastard Ning Yi and his arrogant and domineering behavior today.

"Old Six is a troublemaker. He actually said that this prince wanted to assassinate him. So that's the case."

The Fourth Prince stared coldly at the butler and said, "Find some powerful assassins to cripple him."

The butler took the order and limped away.

His master had even assassinated the crown prince, let alone the powerless Sixth Prince.

In the evening, Ning Yi was busy in the study in the middle courtyard.

Suddenly, Qin Haifeng shouted from outside: "Catch the assassin."

Then there was the sound of weapons clanging.

Ning Yi frowned in dissatisfaction. What's wrong with the second brother? He came to assassinate once, put on a show, and then helped him to file a complaint and suppress the fourth brother.

Why are you still doing this assassination? Is assassination addictive?

Ning Yi opened the door and looked out. Qin Haifeng was already leading dozens of guards.

There were several assassins in black clothes surrounding them, and there were continuous screams of pain from the men in black being struck by Qin Haifeng's sword.

Suddenly, another man in black approached Ning Yi quickly from the side.

Ning Yi suddenly turned around, and the man in black held a steel knife in his hand, which flashed with cold light, and slashed towards Ning Yi.

Ning Yi dodged quickly and punched the man in black in the chest.

The man in black groaned in shock and took several steps back.

I didn’t expect that this arrogant and domineering Sixth Prince was actually a martial artist.

The noise here alarmed Qin Haifeng.

He rushed over with an anxious roar: "Thief, Xiu is trying to hurt His Highness."

The man in black looked at the calm Ning Yi and Qin Haifeng who was approaching.

Knowing there was no chance, he turned around and ran.

Suddenly there was a "bang".

White smoke flashed in Ning Yi's hand, and the man in black suddenly felt a pain in his back. He staggered two steps and fell to the ground.

When Qin Haifeng arrived, Ning Yi was holding a musket, his face pale as he leaned against the doorway: "Quick, catch him, interrogate him properly, cough cough cough."

Ning Yi's condition looks too much like he's injured.

Qin Haifeng exclaimed anxiously: "Your Highness, Your Highness, how are you? Someone come and call the doctor."

Ning Yi was carefully helped by him to rest on the bed in the room.

Yang Ziqin got the news in the backyard and rushed over. Seeing Ning Yi lying on the bed with a pale face and coughing constantly, she was so scared that she cried.
