Chapter 399:1 Trust You!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Pei Qian didn’t panic at all in the face of Pei Zhaoyue’s question. He was still calm and composed as he looked at Pei Zhaoyue disdainfully. “Actually, you might not believe me if 1 tell you now, but 1 really didn’t plan to attack you now.
Unfortunately, you insisted on shooting yourself in the foot. I couldn’t stop you!
You’ll have to die at the hands of the northern barbarian spies.”
As Pei Qian spoke, he slowly stood up. He looked at the ashen-faced Pei Zhaoyue as he explained to her with a smile, “Aunt, don’t worry. After you die, 1’11 report it to the Fourth Prince and do my best to eliminate the northern barbarian spies who infiltrated and avenge you!
As for my uncle, you don’t have to worry.
With me around, 1 definitely won’t let you be too lonely on the road to hell. He will accompany you to hell!”
“Pei Qian, you’ll die a horrible death!” When Pei Zhaoyue saw Qian He coming over with the medicine bowl, she screamed and wanted to hide. Unexpectedly, a guard who had been waiting beside her came forward and subdued her without a word. She could only curse angrily as Qian He poured the black medicine down her throat.
…..
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to see if I’ll die a horrible death, but you’ll definitely die a horrible death.” After Pei Qian walked in front of Pei Zhaoyue, he slowly bent down and looked at Pei Zhaoyue with a devilish smile. “What I prepared for you is the poison you once arranged for those concubines. Don’t worry, you’ll suffer enough pain before you die.
“But that might not be the case. Who knows if you’ll be burned to death or poisoned first?”
After saying that, Pei Qian ignored Pei Zhaoyue, who was curled up and struggling on the ground. He turned around and strode out of the imperial court. Without needing Pei Qian to instruct him, Qian He had already started to disguise this place as a scene of murder and arson with the shadow guards.
After Pei Qian’s carriage reached the foot of the mountain, Qian He caught up and reported to Pei Qian through the carriage curtain, “Master, everything has been arranged.”
“Keep someone guarding the place. Don’t let anyone escape!” Pei Qian instructed Qian He in a low voice, “Also, have the arrangements in the general’s residence been made?”
“Don’t worry, Master. His Highness arranged for the matters in the city to be dealt with. I believe it has already started!” Although Qian He had yet to receive a reply from Cloud Mountain City, when he thought about the Crown Prince’s usual style of handling things, he believed that he wouldn’t fail.
“Then it’s time for us to meet the Fourth Prince and tell him this sudden bad news,” Pei Qian replied. Although his words were heavy, his tone was filled with schadenfreude.
Just as Qian He had reported to Pei Qian, by the time their carriage rushed back to Cloud Mountain City, Cloud Mountain City was already in an uproar.
The entire northern general’s residence had already been lit up by the fire. When County Governor Tang received the news, he rushed over to the scene to investigate without even wearing his official uniform. Looking at the residence that was burning with servants inside, he didn’t feel the warmth of the flames. Instead, he felt a bone-chilling sense of coldness.
Who attacked the general’s residence, which was heavily guarded?
“What did you say? Aunt…” When the Fourth Prince was woken up from his dream, he was originally angry, but before he could vent his anger, he was stunned by the news Pei Qian brought him.
“Yes, not only my aunt, but everyone in the general’s residence was also slaughtered by thieves. I just came from the general’s residence. I’m afraid no one inside was spared.”
Pei Qian lowered his eyes and answered this question flawlessly.
“How could this be? Could it be that Aunt offended someone?” The Fourth Prince actually didn’t have much contact with his aunt since he was young and he didn’t have a good impression of her, but this had happened under his nose. If he didn’t figure out the situation, how would he answer when his mother asked?
Although his mother rarely said anything good about his aunt, she was still her biological sister. Now that she was gone, things would probably be different when she mentioned her again.
Therefore, no matter what, the Fourth Prince felt that he had to ask.
“It was the northern barbarians.” Pei Qian sighed as he explained everything he had investigated to the Fourth Prince. “I just found out that people in the general’s residence have been colluding with the northern barbarians, and the large sum of money my aunt received was from the northern barbarians.
The northern barbarians probably attacked her and General Gao to silence them.”
“You mean that after being in the northern region for so many years, our aunt and her husband have actually been…”
Before the Fourth Prince could finish speaking, Pei Qian came forward and quickly covered his mouth. “Your Highness, walls have ears. It’s better not to say some things out loud!”
“Are they crazy?!” Although the Fourth Prince was stopped by Pei Qian, his anger didn’t subside. He spat on the ground before glaring at Pei Qian. “Were they trying to screw me over?”
“Therefore, while I heaved a sigh of relief this time, I also broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, we came this time. If we had come a little later and they succeeded, we would have been doomed.”
Pei Qian consoled the Fourth Prince in a low voice as he dispelled the Fourth Prince’s sympathy for Pei Zhaoyue. “The most important thing now is to use this matter to eliminate those northern barbarians who infiltrated the northern region!
Only by killing them can this matter be truly covered up!
Moreover, as long as we deal with these people, even if anyone mentions it in the future, we can use the excuse that there’s no evidence. Besides, my aunt and the others died at the hands of those northern barbarians. As long as we handle it well, not only will this matter not affect us, but it will also silence those who are trying to frame us.”
Pei Qian’s words made the Fourth Prince, who was originally nervous and worried, happy. He heaved a long sigh of relief and patted Pei Qian’s shoulder as he said confidently, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Song Tao.. I’ve always trusted you!”
