Honger seemed to have expected his coming and was already waiting.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The Third Prince waved his hands in annoyance, "Forget it, you should know why I came to see you."
Hongger's eyes flickered and he stood up.
"Of course I know. Your Highness, don't worry. The funeral has been properly handled and nothing unusual will be found. Didn't the imperial concubine also have a checkup today? There is nothing unusual."
"But you promised that Ning Yujing would be disabled if not dead, but now he just has a slight sprained arm, he is still fine!"
The third prince frowned, and there was a hint of distrust in his eyes.
Hong Geer cupped his hands, "This time it was because the loyal and brave marquis rescued the emperor in time and acted decisively. If he had been a little slower, the fourth prince would have been thrown off the horse and seriously injured and disabled..."
"No buts, it's all your fault!" The Third Prince said in a low voice, his eyes sinister, "The Fourth Prince really has a good uncle."
Hong Geer felt a little uncomfortable with his attitude.
After all, he is the eldest son of the Third Prince, and now he is the Crown Prince and will inherit the title in the future. He has never been yelled at like this before.
But thinking about his father's arrangement, he clenched his fists and endured it.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. My father has made new arrangements. This time, it will be foolproof. I just need Your Highness to wait patiently. Now that the Fourth Prince has just been injured, everyone is very alert and it is not advisable to take action."
The third prince understood this principle and nodded.
The anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he felt that his tone just now was a bit too harsh, so he took the initiative to make up for it.
He reached out and patted Hongel's shoulder.
"If the Third Prince can help me become the Crown Prince, when I ascend the throne in the future, you, the Crown Prince, will also inherit the title of Prince. Naturally, I will not forget my friendship with you."
He gave Honger a way out, and Honger was very polite and went along with it.
"Then I will rely on your highness for promotion."
But at the end another thing was brought up.
"Your Highness is wise and brave, a rare young talent in the world. I have a sister named Ulan Tuya, who is the same age as Your Highness. My father intends to marry Your Highness, but I wonder if Your Highness..."
The Third Prince's expression changed, and there was hesitation in his eyes.
The crown prince of Nanqi always chose his wife from among the nobles in the Central Plains, preferably well-educated and well-mannered ladies.
She was the Concubine Yu that my father had married before. After entering the palace, she was also given the Han surname Su. This Su was not entirely of Zasak bloodline, but also had half Central Plains bloodline.
The third prince had never thought of marrying a jasak woman as his wife.
After thinking for a while, the Third Prince said, "Marriage is a matter of life and death, and it is up to the parents and the matchmaker to decide. I am afraid that I cannot make the decision on my own marriage."
As if he had known that he would use this as an excuse, Honger immediately said, "What if my father can convince the emperor?"
"Of course I am willing to do so." The third prince agreed for the sake of more benefits.
Anyway, he is not yet of age, and even if he gets engaged, it will take several years to get married, so it doesn't hurt to accept it first.
He also believed that his father would not ask him to marry a jasak woman as his wife, but at most as a concubine.
Especially since she is Enhe Jin's legitimate daughter, my father is now on guard against Enhe Jin in every way.
Seeing that he agreed, Hongger's sharp eyes softened a little.
At this time, the third prince asked again about their next plan.
Honger waved for him to come closer, and the two of them leaned in and whispered.
After hearing this, the third prince's eyes widened.
"Isn't this a bit too risky?"
"Your Highness, don't you know that wealth and honor come from risk?" Hong Geer said with a half-smile, "Your Highness, don't worry, my father knows his limits and will not take lives that are not necessary."
The Third Prince looked up and stared into his eyes to make sure he was telling the truth.
After a long time, he nodded.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Your half-brother..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Angqin's biological mother was a maidservant of my mother. His mother's life is in my mother's hands. He won't say anything nonsense." Hong Geer said calmly, "Besides, he also pierced the iron needle into the horse with his own hands. It has nothing to do with others."
During the horse race, Angqin deliberately controlled the speed, pretending that his skills were similar to those of the Fourth Prince, and cooperated with their angry words. After seeing that the Fourth Prince was speeding up, he quickly inserted three thin iron needles into the Fourth Prince's horse.
The iron needle was very thin, and the horse racing field was dusty and under the scorching sun, it was impossible to tell whether he was waving a whip or taking the opportunity to throw a hidden weapon.
The horse felt pain and was whipped by the Fourth Prince, so it naturally lost control.
However, the needle had already been taken away by the Third Prince's guards when everyone surrounded the Fourth Prince, and nothing unusual could be detected through the tiny needle hole.
Originally, the Third Prince had assigned this matter to Honger, but Honger was afraid that he would be exposed, so he forced his illegitimate brother to do it.
The third prince resolved his doubts and left with peace of mind.
However, when he was leaving, he was seen by Angqin, who came to see Hongger.
At this moment, Angqin roughly guessed what his eldest brother was doing, but he didn't care about it. He just wanted to save his mother's life.
But this time he still couldn't see Honger, he was only told that his mother had taken the medicine.
And he gave him a belt that his mother had made for him.
Angqin felt relieved and left.
The next day.
When the Fourth Prince woke up, he felt sore muscles all over his body. He gritted his teeth in pain when he moved even a little.
Ye Jun just came in with breakfast and saw that he was awake.
"Jing'er, don't move. Your left arm is injured. Wait for mother to help you up."
As she spoke, Huiyue had already brought the pillow over and let the Fourth Prince sit up on it.
"Let me call the imperial physician." Nan Zhi said from the side.
Ye Jun nodded and looked at the child with worried eyes.
"Does it hurt a lot? You'll feel better after I change the medicine. Eat something first. I'll feed you your favorite wontons."
"Mother, I'm not very hungry, but my mouth tastes bitter. Let me wash up first." The fourth prince moved around and felt very uncomfortable.
This love of cleanliness is inherited from Ye Jun.
I didn’t clean it when I came back from the horse farm yesterday because I didn’t dare to move.
"Okay, then let's see the imperial physician first before washing." Ye Jun said with a smile.
Soon, the imperial physician arrived.
After taking the patient's pulse and examining the injury, he said that the patient was recovering well and that he could do anything except move his left arm.
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince went downstairs to take a bath, applied medicine, and then came back to sit.
He immediately asked, "How is your uncle? He rolled down with his son, is he injured?"
"It's okay. Your uncle is a skilled kung fu master. He just injured his waist and needs to rest. The rest of his problems are fine. Your aunt and cousin Shu Ran are taking care of him." Ye Jun said.
It’s a good thing that his son knows how to care for his family, and Ye Jun is also relieved.
But now she wanted to know more about what happened, so she took the initiative to ask why the horse suddenly became frightened and lost control.
