Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Deep in the palace of Halibam, the third and fourth princes secretly dispatched their most trusted men to covertly investigate the maids, servants and nannies sent by Prince Jiayang to serve the old king.

They knew very well that it was of vital importance to find out the murderer who poisoned the old king. This was not only related to the safety of the old king, but also to the future of the entire kingdom.

These men carefully shuttled through every corner of the palace, their eyes were sharp and vigilant, not missing any suspicious details. They secretly observed the every move of the palace maids, servants and nannies, trying to find clues from them.

During the investigation, they found that these people seemed ordinary, but each of them was hiding some unknown secrets.

Some palace maids had flickering eyes, as if they were hiding something; some servants behaved furtively, making people doubt their true purpose; and the maids seemed to be extremely cautious, and no one could find anything wrong for the time being.

The secret guards of the third prince and the fourth prince were not fooled by these superficial phenomena. They continued to investigate in depth and did not miss any possible clues.

They carefully checked the old king's diet and daily necessities, and even searched every corner of the palace.

As the investigation deepened, some clues gradually surfaced. They found that a palace maid often added some strange powder to the old king's diet, and this palace maid was the confidant of Prince Jiayang.

In addition, the palace maid who poisoned the palace often secretly passed items to a servant. It is possible that the servant who was allowed to go out brought the poison back from outside the palace.

The secret guards of the third and fourth princes collected these clues one by one and prepared to report to their master. They knew that this investigation was far from over and they had to continue working hard to find more evidence to bring the murderer to justice.

Although some of the people around the old king were replaced, in addition to the old people who had served him before, there were also the king's own secret guards protecting him in secret. Therefore, even though Prince Jiayang was very much looking forward to the old king's immediate death, he did not dare to harm the king blatantly.

However, if the servants and palace maids who plotted against the king were arrested immediately, it would not affect Prince Jiayang.

Because they can insist that it was their own decision and will not reveal that Prince Jiayang was the mastermind behind it.

So the third and fourth princes could only pretend they didn't know for the time being, and still let those who were secretly harming the king believe that their conspiracy had not been discovered.

Although the maid continued to drug the king, because her actions were already known here, the maid who personally fed the old king food and medicine was replaced by one of their own.

Although the poisoned food and soup seemed to be brought to the king's bedside and fed to him, in fact, the poisoned food and soup had already been secretly poured out and replaced with clean food and water that had been prepared in advance.

The old king's body has basically recovered. But he can't let those who want to harm him know. So he still acts very weak.

But his body was recovering and his complexion was much better than before. In order to avoid the suspicion of those who secretly wanted to harm him, those people had been assigned to the outer courtyard or other places to serve, and had no chance to serve the king closely at his bedside.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan would occasionally come to check on the situation here. They already had a basic understanding of the character of the third and fourth princes.

Both princes are suitable to be the future heirs, but the third prince is more stable and the fourth prince is more enterprising. But they both have their own shortcomings.

The final choice of who will inherit the throne depends on the old king's thoughts.

Xiao Yunyan checked the old king's pulse again and found that the remaining poison in his body had been completely eliminated. Moreover, because the resurrection pills were repairing and nourishing the old king's damaged body, he was now basically no different from a normal person.

One day, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan came to the old king's bedroom again.

This time they waited quietly in the bedroom for the old king to wake up. The king was very surprised when he saw them. Since he was bedridden, no outsiders were allowed to visit him.

Even if his concubines and sons wanted to come in, it would be very difficult.

Recently, the third prince and the fourth prince have been taken in and out by their own secret guards, and they have come here much more often than before.

However, the old king was not afraid of Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan. He had seen countless people and knew that they had no ill intentions. He was also familiar with Prince Duanjing and his wife, and had dealt with them before.

The old king was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "When will the two noble ladies, Prince Duanjing and Princess, arrive to visit? What can you do for me?"

After Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan saluted, they stated their purpose. They were concerned about the old king's health and also mentioned the third and fourth princes.

The old king's eyes flashed with admiration. He understood the intentions of the two nobles. He thanked them for their concern and said that he would carefully consider the succession to the throne.

Afterwards, the old king talked with Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan about the current situation and future of the country. The three of them discussed the way to govern the country and exchanged opinions. The old king was filled with emotion and deeply admired the insights of Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan.

During the conversation, the old king revealed his concerns about the future of the country. He hoped to find a suitable successor who could lead the Halibam Kingdom to prosperity.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan listened silently, thinking about something in their hearts.

Finally, the old king decided to invite the third and fourth princes to come together. He wanted to hear their plans and opinions about the future of the country.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan didn't plan to stay for too long.

The selection of a new crown prince was a major event within Halibam. It concerned the fate of the country and the people. Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan had just made their thoughts very clear.

They could give advice but could not help the old king make decisions. The secret conversation between the three of them involved too many secrets within Haribam. It was inconvenient for them to stay.

Therefore, the old king repeatedly asked them to stay and help observe the two princes. They still politely declined, said goodbye directly, and flashed into the space.

Soon, the two princes came to the old king's bedroom to visit their father.

The king looked at his two sons who cared about him and found it difficult to choose. Both sons were well behaved and filial. Their personal abilities were also gradually improving.

The king is not in a hurry to make a choice now. Children need to go through some hardships and tests in their growth.

It would be better to give these two sons a chance to train while thoroughly investigating the forces secretly developing in Jiayang.

Let them work together to do this thing and see if they have enough wisdom? Can they cooperate with each other? Do they have a big picture view? These are the abilities that a king must have.

The third prince Wenxuan thinks about problems very carefully and comprehensively. He is responsible for arranging the details and personnel arrangements of the investigation.

Because Jiayang's subordinates are all extremely capable people, the most important thing when investigating Jiayang's hidden strength is to ensure that the identities of your people are not exposed.

Facing the extremely vigilant Jiayang and his men, it is difficult to get inside without good skills. This person must also have a stable personality, a calm mood in times of crisis, and the ability to adapt to changes.

The Third Prince asked the Fourth Prince to screen their friends and subordinates with him to find the right person. After all, the Fourth Prince was lively, had a wide range of friends, and knew many masters.

After a selection, they finally found ten young men who were suitable in all aspects. These people were highly skilled in martial arts and extremely intelligent. Under the careful deployment of the third prince and the arrangement of the fourth prince, the ten people successfully infiltrated Jiayang's sphere of influence.

In the following days, the ten people secretly collected intelligence and maintained close contact with the third prince and the fourth prince.

However, Jiayang's power was far more complicated than they had imagined. In order to avoid alerting the other party to their actions, the investigation was very slow.

Before these ten people could investigate the deeper secrets, Jiayang had to make a lot of money quickly because he had suffered huge losses recently.

He now felt that not only had he lost most of his supporters, but the remaining subordinates were not as loyal and proactive as before.

On the contrary, they are considering quitting because their hopes for the future are becoming increasingly slim and they cannot obtain vested interests in the short term.

If he didn't have a few trusted confidants who were good at controlling people and who always used extraordinary means to force those subordinates to stop working for him, they would probably have left him long ago.

He wanted to earn enough silver. With silver, those masters who had left him would become his supporters again for the sake of money.

However, he could not achieve his goal of making a lot of money in a short period of time relying solely on his own abilities.

So, Jiayang turned his attention to the former second prince's wife. This woman was ambitious and had been the concubine of Prince Jiayang. However, her goal was to become a princess, and after seeing no hope, she confronted Prince Jiayang. The former second prince's wife asked Jiayang to set her free and cooperate with her in business.

Although the second prince's wife's family was of clean origin, when she was the princess consort of the second prince, Prince Wenhua, she relied on her status and extraordinary social skills to open many businesses in the capital of Beichuan and several surrounding prefectures.

Later, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan made Beichuan Kingdom more and more prosperous. The Princess of Wenhua, who had already been given a fief, secretly developed her own power. In addition to the fief, she also established various processing workshops in several surrounding prefectures.

The status and position of Princess Wenhua and the mistress of the fiefdom made her feel at home. Not only did she train her nephews and nephews who had no talent for studying into business talents, she also formed her own caravan and fleet to do business with other countries.

Later, the Second Prince's wife divorced the Second Prince and she became the Consort of Prince Jiayang. In just over half a year, she used this identity to establish her own fur and dried meat processing workshops in Haribam and several surrounding countries.

Many commodities under the name of Prince Jiayang were also transported to sea by the caravan of the Prince's Concubine and sold at high prices.

Therefore, when Prince Jiayang's wife parted ways with him, the two still maintained a friendly business partnership.

Now, Jiayang was in urgent need of making a lot of money. He immediately contacted the subordinates of the former second prince's wife, hoping to increase the amount of goods exported. After receiving the letter, the subordinates of the former second prince's wife went to discuss with their master.

In addition to normal merchandise sales, there must be more profitable business.

Prince Jiayang gathered a few of his men and asked them how to accumulate wealth quickly?

His subordinates are either assassins or wandering cultivators, and they all gain wealth through the underworld.

Therefore, the methods given are nothing more than robbing caravans, robbing the wealth of tribes in neighboring countries, stealing the warehouses of large families... and other simple and crude methods.

Prince Jiayang felt that although these methods were risky, as long as he was well prepared, they would quickly increase his wealth.

More importantly, those who follow him can also share huge wealth in the process.

In this way, the short-term vested interests of these people are satisfied. Not only will the people around him be loyal to him, but he is also likely to attract more people to work for him.

Although these people are all very capable, they probably don't have the ability to rob a wealthy merchant caravan on their own. So, after they join his school, he will gather these people with extraordinary abilities together so that they can do great things.
