âSpeaking of which, I remembered something. I heard King Rui was nearly assassinated when he returned to the capital.
âIf itâs not us, then the only one who has the ability to make a move is King Kang.
âDo you think Seventh Su became King Kangâs scapegoat?â
âIt seems like King Kang is getting anxious. Thatâs true. In light of the sterilization incident, the Emperorâs impression of him will definitely fall rapidly.
âThenâ¦
âThinking about it this way, King Rui had become the person most likely to ascend the throne.â
âSo should weâ¦â
âDonât⦠Listen to your cousinâs arrangements. Weâll wait for your uncleâs news quietly.â Sun Wenhao stood up and said, âLetâs go and comfort your mother. Maybe sheâll know something when she wakes up.â
âYes.â After that, the father and son walked straight to the backyard.
Zhou Ying followed them to take a look at Mrs. Lu.
After this incident, Mrs. Luâs hair turned completely white, her face became much thinner, and a circle of blisters appeared on her mouth.
It seemed she was seriously ill.
After confirming she was still running a high fever, Zhou Ying left and looked at King Kangâs Residence.
At this moment, King Kang was drinking with a few strategists.
From the tone of his voice, although the Emperor did not ground him, he was suspended from all his duties.
They were now discussing how to resume their duties.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying shook her head and looked at the Prime Ministerâs Residence again.
At this moment, although the Prime Ministerâs residence looked oppressive, one would find that Prime Minister Su did not seem anxious at all. Instead, he looked very relaxed.
Zhou Ying could not help but mutter when she saw this. Could it be that he had a way to save Seventh Su?
At night, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about this and asked, âRui, do you think Prime Minister Su knows that King Hui is going to attempt a rebellion? Otherwise, why is he not anxious at all?â
âSmart. Actually, King Kang was too reckless this time. If he had discussed it with Prime Minister Su, he would not have agreed to their plans.
âAfter all, King Hui and the Empress are more anxious than they were. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTherefore, Prime Minister Su is probably waiting for King Hui to make a move. At that time, Seventh Su would probably survive.â
âHow cunning. However, if King Rui is a hunter under the tree, thenâ¦â
âThat depends on how long King Rui can stay in the capital.â
At this moment, King Rui was also discussing this matter with Zhou Huaiming.
âYour Highness, shouldnât we make a move?â Zhou Huai Ming asked directly.
âItâs time to prepare. Pull out some unnecessary nails, but donât take action. Itâs not so easy to be the first to stand out.â
âUnderstood. You should recuperate well in the residence. Leave the rest to me and Big Brother Feng.â
âGo find Gu Chengrui.â
âAre you trying to pull him in?â
âSince he married Gu Wanning to me, heâs already prepared to be implicated.
âHiding it from him now might harm him instead.
âHowever, if something really goes wrong, Iâll leave a way out for them.â
âAlright, Iâll go find him tomorrow.â Zhou Huaiming nodded.
The next morning, Gu Chengrui did not see Zhou Huaiming. Instead, he met the butler of King Kangâs Residence.
After Gu Chengrui learned of his intention, he asked in surprise, âYou must be joking. There are many imperial physicians, yet you asked me to treat your masterâs injuries?
âI donât dare to show off my lame skills in front of His Highness. Isnât this courting death?â
âHow could that be? His Highness heard that you know how to suture wounds and make them heal faster, so he asked me to invite you.
âYouâd better hurry up; His Highness is still waiting..â
