Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1424

Chapter 1424: Chapter 1419: Taiping Along the Coast

Minister Liu ordered the guards of the second prince of the Dongyi Kingdom to be taken away, walked to the bedside, and saw Fan Yugan open his eyes and glance at him. Suddenly, he rose and leaned over the bedside to vomit; the servant quickly brought a basin over, looking very familiar with the action.

Lu Fenglang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and took a few steps back, and Minister Liu also frowned deeply.

Seeing Fan Yugan almost finished vomiting, Liu Rushi frowned and said to the servant brought by Fan Yugan, "Go get a bowl of hangover soup for your young master, this is too disgraceful!"

Once everyone had left, Fan Yugan sat up, no longer showing the drunken appearance from before: "My Lord, I met the second prince today, but I was afraid he would think I did it on purpose, so I pretended to be drunk and fell over without saying or doing anything! I came back to report to you!"

Liu Rushi had just seen Fan Yugan’s clear eyes and knew he wasn’t very drunk, not expecting this young man’s mind to be so sharp.

Indeed, he met the second prince but said nothing and passed out, which was truly a coincidence. Had he said anything, even a word, it could have seemed intentional to others!

"Take three days off starting tomorrow, then go again..." Liu Rushi pondered for a moment, "Tell others you have been punished by me!"

"Yes!" Fan Yugan responded.

Unexpectedly, the next day at noon, the guard sent by the second prince last night to return Fan Yugan arrived, inviting him to the pleasure boat on behalf of the second prince.

Liu Rushi received the news and chuckled softly, "This second prince seems to have a thoughtful mind!"

Lu Fenglang spoke, "No wonder this crown prince of the Dongyi Kingdom, who holds the legitimate position, has always been overshadowed by this violent second prince!"

Lu Fenglang, often beside Prime Minister Lu, saw the second prince’s guard openly inviting Fan Yugan and knew that the officials secretly stationed in the Dongyi Kingdom were instructed to contact the crown prince of the Dongyi Kingdom on behalf of Zhou, and the second prince had found out about it.

It seems the crown prince has a spy from the second prince by his side, and this spy must have an extraordinary relationship with the crown prince.

With a crown prince like this, can he really stand up against the second prince?

Besides... even if they tell the crown prince about the spy, the indecisive and sentimental crown prince might be more inclined to trust his own people rather than the envoys from Zhou.

"My Lord, tonight Fan Yugan is going to meet the second prince, how about... I secretly go to meet the crown prince." Lu Fenglang immediately made a decision, "Fenglang wants to meet this crown prince. If this crown prince truly cannot be supported, we should not waste our efforts. We should just try to disrupt the current balance in the Dongyi Kingdom’s court, ideally causing both the crown prince and the second prince to be mutually ruinous. Our Zhou can support a puppet emperor... now the six-year-old legitimate seventh prince to ascend the throne!"

Although the crown prince is the legitimate heir, the former empress has long passed, and the current empress gave birth to this seventh prince, considered the Emperor’s child in his old age due to his leg ailment at birth. The current empress without a powerful family, the crown prince and the second prince competing for the throne, have not considered this seventh prince at all.
