Chapter 740 - 740 Trouble (1)

740 Trouble (1)
In Prince Zhou’s and Prince Li’s mansion, people were faced with the same conundrum.
Tonight, someone knocked on the door of Prince Zhou’s room. Prince Zhou thought that it was a servant and called him in, but no one entered for a long time. Prince Zhou stood up to open the door to see two cold corpses lying outside. No one knew how these two corpses got here. Prince Zhou flew into a rage and severely punished all the guards who were on night watch.
The identity of these two corpses were also found. They were the assassins sent to assassinate Shen Miao today.
Prince Zhou felt uneasy and got someone to send a message to Prince Jing overnight. The two brothers planned to investigate this matter carefully.
Someone threw two corpses into Prince Li’s mansion from outside the wall, scaring the guards. The guards went out to chase after the person but to no avail. In the end, they found that the two corpses were assassins sent by Prince Li to assassinate Shen Miao. Prince Li was extremely frustrated and uneasy.
On the other side, Prince Zhou and Prince Jing were talking.
Prince Zhou asked, “Who do you think did it?”
Prince Jing pondered for a moment. “Maybe it’s Prince Li.”
“I think so too.” Prince Zhou nodded. “Maybe he wants to use this to threaten me.”
“But Prince Li has always been amiable on the surface. He won’t use this matter to go against you.” Prince Jing shook his head. “It might be the crown prince’s doing.”
“The crown prince?” Prince Zhou paused and nodded. “All these years, the crown prince has been saying that he’s sick. Who knows if it’s a smokescreen? None of us know what he is up to. If he sows discord between Prince Li and me, he can benefit from it.”
“That’s right.” Prince Jing sighed. “But don’t forget about Ninth Brother.”
“Ninth Brother? I don’t think so.” Prince Zhou waved his hand indifferently. “Even if he has the guts to do it, he doesn’t have capable people under him who can’t kill the assassins I sent.”
“For some reason, I feel that Ninth Brother is not as simple as he looks.” Prince Jing said, “Don’t underestimate him.”
“In short,” Prince Zhou sighed, “this matter is not that simple. Whether it’s Prince Li or the crown prince, they don’t have good intentions. I’ll investigate carefully and see who’s behind it.”
Prince Jing nodded in agreement.
Prince Zhou and Prince Li naturally did not know that the person who wiped out the assassins they sent out was not the crown prince or Fu Xiuyi, but someone who was completely unrelated. The battle between the princes of Ming Qi unknowingly became more and more intense.
As time passed, while everyone in the Shen family was anxiously looking for a “suitable man” for Shen Miao, the imperial edict did not come for a long time. It was not because Emperor Wen Hui forgot it, but because Emperor Wen Hui had been extremely troubled by something else recently.
He asked the crown prince beside him, “What does the Daliang Dynasty mean? Are they going against Ming Qi? I’ve never seen such an arrogant person!”
