For Fu Kun, what is more important is...
"He and we have a common enemy!" Gongzi Hong's words expressed what Fu Kun was thinking. Yes, they have a common enemy!
Before Gongzi Hong appeared, Fu Kun thought that his power could compete with the Right Prime Minister and his men. The prince was a good friend of his second son. The Right Prime Minister had nine gates, and he had eight gates. When Fu Minghui gained a foothold in the army, he would have an army in his hands.
After the Lantern Robbery, he realized that all his performances were just illusions. The Crown Prince was indeed on good terms with his second son, but his heart was with the Right Prime Minister. And if the Second Son's Eight Gates were really like what the eldest son Fu Mingsu said, that the Nine Gates were demons, then they would not be able to compete with the Nine Gates.
In the end, Fu Kun discovered that he had always been alone and fighting alone.
“In the Qian Dynasty, there is an order of seniority. What ability do you have to make the Third Prince the crown prince?” Fu Kun lowered his voice, and the dim light concealed the aggressive ambition in his eyes. “Didn’t you say that the Nine Gates are specifically designed to guard against people like you…?” After calming down, Fu Kun quickly figured out the role of the Nine Gates, which is: to use monsters to guard against monsters. It turned out that the Nine Gates were really the magicians employed by the royal family.
Gongzi Hong's purple eyes smiled charmingly: "So, I can't do it. If I don't move, the Nine Gates won't move. But the Third Prince can make the prince disappear."
"Disappeared?" Fu Mingsu was somewhat surprised and confused. Fu Kun's expression was calmer than Fu Mingsu's. Everyone knew that only when the crown prince Duanmu Qingchen disappeared, the third-ranked Duanmu Jinhong could become the new crown prince.
But how easy is it to make a prince disappear? And he also needs to disappear in a reasonable way, without arousing anyone's suspicion, at least, without anyone suspecting that it was Fu Kun who did it. How can this be done
This matter is extremely risky. If it doesn't work, then you will die. This is an attempt to usurp the throne! It is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!
"Don't worry, Left Prime Minister. I have a good plan. Just ask Left Prime Minister to invite the Third Prince out to meet me." Gongzi Hong's eyes were filled with confidence.
Fu Kun looked at Fu Mingsuo, who thought for a moment and looked at Fu Kun: "Father, what do you want to see?"
Fu Kun nodded solemnly. Sometimes, you just have to take a gamble. When a man gambles, he gambles the whole world!
Fu Kun's body leaned forward slightly, like a beast slowly emerging from the darkness, gradually approaching his prey. He raised his face and his deep gaze fell on Gongzi Hong who was also in the darkness: "What is your purpose?" Anyone who does things with Fu Kun has a purpose.
Gongzi Hong's purple eyes flashed with a sneer in the dim room, and the corners of his lips slowly rose: "After the matter is accomplished, the Nine Gates will belong to me."
A deep smile appeared on Fu Kun's lips, and his body slowly leaned back again, disappearing into the darkness. He understood that the Nine Gates were used to treat demons, so the person in front of him must have been treated by the Nine Gates.
“Hahahaha—hahaha—” Suddenly, Fu Kun laughed out loud.
Gongzi Hong also nodded and smiled. This time, he wanted to make Jiumen and the prince disappear together!
Today the sun is exceptionally bright, and it is the golden autumn season for climbing mountains. When Duanmu Yaxin gave Fu Minghui a gift at the Lantern Festival, Emperor Cheng's restrictions on Duanmu Yaxin became less and less. How can you let your children improve their relationship if you don't let them go out on dates
Therefore, Duanmu Yaxin can now freely enter and leave the palace, which is the best gift for Duanmu Yaxin who has been stuck in the palace for many years. Of course, Emperor Cheng would not let Fu Minghui and Duanmu Yaxin be alone together, so he would let other princes accompany them.
Fu Minghui came early to pick up Duanmu Yaxin from the palace. Duanmu Yaxin came excitedly, followed by Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng. The two were also in plain clothes, and it was obvious that they were planning to use Duanmu Yaxin's fame to go out and have fun.
Ever since she chose Fu Minghui, Duanmu Yaxin increasingly felt that she had made the right choice. Fu Minghui was not only handsome, far surpassing her brothers, but he was also talented in both civil and military affairs. Most importantly, Fu Minghui could make her happy. The two were of opposite ages, so they had many similar views and could get along well together.
Fu Minghui greeted Duanmu Yaxin with a particularly bright smile. Fu Minghui's smile had a special clean and infectious power, and when people looked at his smile, they would think he was an innocent boy.
Duanmu Jinhong, on the other hand, was quite uncomfortable with Fu Minghui's brilliant smile. He felt that Fu Minghui was just like the dissolute prince Duanmu Qingchen, who liked to use such a fake smile to disguise himself.
"Brother Minghui!" Duanmu Yaxin's call of brother made people feel soft inside.
"Seventh Princess!" Fu Minghui also greeted her with great enthusiasm, as if they had not seen each other for a long time.
Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to tease, so one raised an eyebrow and the other grinned.
"Hey, it's been only a short while since we last met, and you two are already so close?"
"Oh, I'm so envious~~~"
Duanmu Yaxin pouted: "Humph! Stop making trouble!"
Duanmu Jinhong, who came along to see them off, looked serious and said, "Stop making trouble." Duanmu Jinhong's stern voice made several people stick out their tongues.
"Greetings, Third Prince." Fu Minghui bowed to Duanmu Jinhong with a pure and brilliant smile.
Duanmu Jinhong felt disgusted when he saw his smile and turned away from Fu Minghui.
Fu Minghui's eyes flickered, but he still kept smiling.
Duanmu Jinhong instructed Duanmu Ruifeng: "Protect your seventh sister well and don't go to such places!" Duanmu Jinhong saw through the two boys' thoughts and stared at them coldly.
The smiles of the Duanmu Yankang brothers froze immediately. How could the third brother be more strict than their father? Originally, the two of them wanted to take the opportunity to sneak out and see the world, but in the end, they were still tied to Duanmu Yaxin.
"Hmph! Perverted man!" Duanmu Yaxin made faces at Duanmu Yankang and the others.
Fu Minghui immediately said, "Today I will take the princess out of the city along the Yujing Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers. Would the Third Prince be willing to go with us?" Fu Minghui suddenly made this suggestion because he knew that Duanmu Yaxin had always wanted Duanmu Jinhong to go with them, saying that a perfect lake cruise would be one in which the princess could hear Duanmu Jinhong's piano music while they were on the cruise.
Therefore, Fu Minghui was not worried about being suspected by others when he made this invitation today. The only thing he was worried about was that Duanmu Jinhong was unwilling to go.
Sure enough, Duanmu Jinhong was already frowning, but Fu Minghui still smiled easily because he knew someone would assist him.
"Brother, let's go together~~~~" As expected, Duanmu Yaxin stepped forward and took Duanmu Jinhong's arm, "You really haven't left the palace for a long time, how about going boating on the lake today? You can play the piano in the cabin, and we can listen to the piano outside the cabin." Duanmu Yaxin grinned mischievously, and continued to act coquettishly with Duanmu Jinhong, "Let's go together~~Let's go together~~"
Duanmu Jinhong was also moved. It was indeed a bit boring in this palace. He finally nodded. (To be continued)
