693 Throw him Away

Lin yuelan’s voice came from the carriage, ” since you know you’re wrong, I will let you off this time. There won’t be the next time. Do you remember? ”

Ming Yue nodded and said, ” yes, yes, Ming Yue will remember!”

“Then let’s get on the carriage and continue our journey!”

“Mm, okay!”

After Lin Xujie and Lin Qingsong rudely carried the injured man to the front of the horse carriage, Lin yuelan and the others continued on their way.

At Qingfeng city…

“Your Highness, we’ve searched the entire place, but we still can’t find the milkvetch flower. ” The guard reported to the third Prince, Yuwen Feiye.

Yuwen Feiye was wearing a purple Python robe. With his hands behind his back, his face was dark as he asked sternly, “Can’t you find anything? Could it be that this thing can just disappear into thin air?”

The reason why he was in a hurry to find the milkvetch flower was so that he could present such a gift to the old Emperor at the end-of-the-year banquet.

The milkvetch flower could make a person younger by ten years. The old Emperor was more than sixty years old today, and who knew when he would stomp into the Imperial mausoleum?

This was very disadvantageous to him.

Because there was a Crown Prince in front of him blocking the way, if something happened to the old Emperor, it would not be his turn to take the throne.

Hence, he had two objectives for finding the milkvetch flower. First, he wanted to please the old Emperor and let him feel his filial piety. Secondly, he still needed the old Emperor to be in power for a few more years. In these few years, he would plan again and strive to seize that position in one fell swoop.

He had unintentionally heard from an official who was on his side about the milkvetch flower being auctioned off in Qingfeng city.

Originally, Qingfeng city was the territory of the crown prince’s maternal uncle. However, he found an excuse and was ordered by the Emperor to be an Imperial envoy to investigate a case.

The crown prince’s uncle’s surname was Ye, and he was the governor of the nine gates Admiral’s office. He was also in-laws with Zhou Anping of Qingfeng city.

Chen Shanbiao joined up with a few big merchants to Sue Governor Zhou of Qingfeng city for corruption and bribery. The third Prince’s party immediately seized the opportunity and asked the Emperor to investigate Governor Zhou thoroughly. Then, the Emperor sent the third Prince, who was opposing the Crown Prince.

This made the crown prince’s party anxious, but they couldn’t do anything for the time being.

“keep looking!” Yuwen Feiye said sternly.

Yuwen Feiye stood in the living room with his hands behind his back. He looked at the calligraphy in front of him with a dark expression.

He didn’t believe that this stalk of flower could disappear into thin air.

The guard beside him asked suspiciously, ” Your Highness, could it be that this stalk of milkvetch flower has already been used? ”

Yuwen Feiye immediately said, ” let’s go to the prison.”

When he arrived at the prison, Governor Zhou sat on a straw mat with a disheveled look on his face. When he saw Yuwen feiye’s arrival, he stood up and greeted, ” Your Highness, the third Prince!”

“where is the milkvetch flower? ” Yuwen Feiye asked.

Zhou Anping was slightly taken aback. Then, he replied, ” there’s no more! Third Prince, don’t waste your time looking for the flower!”

The third Prince’s guard immediately pointed his sword at his neck in dissatisfaction and warned, ” speak to His Highness properly. Otherwise, your head will immediately fall to the ground when you’re charged!”

Zhou Anping did not say a word. He only snorted.

Yuwen Feiye asked again, ” you said that there are no more flowers. What happened to it?”

“I ate it!” Zhou Anping immediately replied.

“Impossible!” Yuwen Feiye did not believe him at all. “if you ate the flower, you should be at least ten years younger. However, when I look at you, not only did you not look younger, but you even looked older. Tell me, where is that thing?”

Zhou Anping looked away and did not reply.

Yuwen Feiye was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and said, ” Hmph, I don’t believe that we can’t find the flower after digging three feet deep into the governor’s manor!”

After Yuwen Feiye and the guards left the prison, Zhou Anping stared at their backs and said coldly, ” Hmph, that thing is in the crown prince’s residence. If you have the guts, go and search the crown prince’s residence!”

That’s right, this item was given to him by the richest man in Qingfeng city, li Fazhi, and he had sent it to the crown prince’s residence overnight.

When Yuwen Feiye returned to the inn, his aides immediately went up to him and asked, “Third Prince, how is it? ”

Yuwen feiye’s eyes were sharp as he said, ” Hmph, that Zhou Anping insisted that he used the milkvetch flower.”

An advisor with the surname Ma said, “That’s impossible!”

Generally speaking, when one obtained such a precious item, they would definitely think of giving it to someone who could bring them great benefits.
