Chapter 497 Fight to the death
After Prince Meng hurriedly left Meng Yao's yard, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. It was winter and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stood in the snow to calm down for a moment, but his heart was still uneasy. He turned on his toes and went to the study room in the Bo Mansion, which was most heavily guarded.
Pingyuan Bo was thinking about something in his study. He had to put aside the affairs of the court for the time being, but he still needed to worry about and plan things at home.
After Prince Meng knocked on the door and came in, he interrupted his thoughts and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"
Prince Meng politely performed the ceremony and then said hesitantly, "There is something I want to talk to you about..."
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Pingyuanbo became worried, "Didn't you go to see Yaoyao? It was her..."
His voice suddenly stopped. He sent away all the people who were serving him. When only the two of them were left, he sighed with a complicated expression, "Tell me, what happened to her?"
His feelings towards his granddaughter are very complicated now. He can't be far away from her, but he can't be close to her either. He is in a dilemma. This is his current situation.
Prince Meng wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Pingyuan Bo urged impatiently, "What else can't you tell me? Tell me quickly, I have other things to do..."
Prince Meng took two steps closer and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Father, I just went to Yaoyao to discuss the matter of treating my second brother, but she refused..."
Hearing this, Pingyuanbo was not surprised at all. "What's her reason?"
Prince Meng still remembers the cold expression on Meng Yao's face when she said those words, so his voice tightened when he spoke, "She said that letting the second brother continue to be crazy would be good for our family. She, she still doesn't believe that the second brother will change for the better after learning this lesson. She didn't even give him a chance..."
It's so cold and cold!
"No hesitation?"
"No, no, she was very calm, not at all upset. No matter what happened to my father or my second brother, he was still her biological father. How could she..."
Everyone else could blame Meng Chonglou for bringing trouble to the Bo Mansion, and everyone could worry that releasing Meng Chonglou again was a risky move, but Meng Yao alone could not.
That is unfilial!
Pingyuan Bo was silent for a moment before saying, "She is also considering the overall situation and the entire Bo's Mansion. Your second brother cannot be cured for the time being..."
"But if we delay for too long, what if he can't be cured? The doctor also said that those medicines will damage the brain. What if he really can't be saved after a long time?" Prince Meng couldn't explain how he felt. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried. He was also afraid that Meng Chonglou would cause trouble again after he regained consciousness and bring disaster to the Bo Mansion. But if he left it alone, he would feel guilty and always felt sorry for his brother, unable to enjoy everything he had now.
Pingyuan Bo said cruelly, "That was his fate. If he had been content, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Karma is a cycle, and no one can be blamed."
Prince Meng blurted out, "But it was you who ordered him to befriend the Prince of Chu..."
Pingyuan Bo slammed the table fiercely, "I asked him to be on good terms with the Prince of Chu, but I didn't ask him to do anything stupid. He didn't even consider his own abilities and dared to make trouble. After making trouble, he didn't have the ability to fix it. If I don't drive him crazy and lock him up, he might even lose his life!"
"Why?"
"Humph, have you forgotten about Li Yunzhao? He was the son of a marquis, but what was his ending? He died tragically on the road, and even the Jinyiwei were around him, but they couldn't protect him. Your second brother's status is even lower than his, do you think no one dared to do anything to him?"
Prince Meng's face changed. Thinking of that possibility, he couldn't help but shudder. "Could it be that the Prince of Chu's Palace really did it? But..."
Pingyuan Bo said expressionlessly, "The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times. When the superior needs you, you will be favored. Once you are no longer useful, you will become a discarded child and can be killed at will. Li Yunzhao is like this, and so are the officials who were tried before and failed to enter the capital alive. Do you still expect to talk about friendship with the royal family?"
Prince Meng couldn't help but ask, "Who would be willing to work for them if they treat them like this?"
Pingyuan Bo said, "Of course there are those who want to take a gamble for the sake of wealth and glory, and bet that they will not be abandoned because of their own abilities. There are also those who are as stupid as your second brother, who can't see their own weight and dare to do anything, and finally hurt others and themselves."
Prince Meng argued, "My second brother's original intention was also for the good of the mansion..."
"But he doesn't know his own limits, he has big eyes but a hollow heart!"
"Father……"
Prince Meng wanted to plead for mercy, but was interrupted. Pingyuan Bo said without question, "It's enough that you have this intention, but your second brother cannot recover yet, otherwise, given his character, he might get into trouble again. You are also aware of the current situation in the capital. It seems calm, but it is not. Next year, the fights among the princes will be more intense. By then, each family will be involved. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Yaoyao's approach is correct."
Prince Meng stopped arguing, but still muttered, "Even if it's true, it's too hard-hearted..."
Pingyuan Bo did not respond to this question, but asked, "Is there anything else?"
Prince Meng hurriedly said, "And the words you asked me to convey, my son said them word for word. Yaoyao looks a little upset!"
Pingyuan Bo frowned and asked, "Why is it bad? Is she still unwilling to give up on finding someone?"
Prince Meng shook his head. "In fact, I said that there is no need to look for her. I asked my son to withdraw everyone. However, my son felt that she was in a strange mood. I asked her to calculate her position again, but she seemed very nervous and rejected it. She refused without thinking. Is there any other explanation for this divination?"
Pingyuan Bo seemed to be thinking about something.
Prince Meng asked again, "Father, who is the origin of the child we were looking for before? Why did Yaoyao insist on finding him and asked the servants to treat him with respect?"
Pingyuan Bo said nothing.
Prince Meng suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "Even if you don't look for it, can't you tell your son? My son has always been tight-lipped, can you spread it everywhere?"
After hearing this, Pingyuan Bo said, "I didn't hide it from you on purpose. It's just that there are so many people and I'm afraid that the news will leak out accidentally and cause unnecessary speculation and trouble. I wanted to wait until I found someone before telling you. Who would have thought that there has been no news..."
"Who is that?"
"The former eldest prince, now the eldest son of the King of Qi, and the eldest grandson of the emperor, Yuan Jin."
"Ah?" Prince Meng was stunned. No matter how hard he tried, he never expected this answer. He asked in disbelief, "Why would it be him?"
Pingyuan Bo said calmly, "Why not? The whereabouts of the emperor's eldest grandson was unknown last spring, and there has been no news since then."
"But finding someone is the royal family's business, how can it be our uncle's turn?" Prince Meng was still puzzled, "Besides, what does this have to do with Yaoyao?"
It can't be that she is just helping others. Now that I have seen how cruel she is, I will never think so.
Pingyuan Bo said without any hesitation, "Father doesn't know either. Maybe it was Yaoyao who wanted to use this opportunity to make the Qi Palace owe him a favor."
"A favor from Prince Qi's mansion?" Prince Meng curled his lips. "It's not that valuable, right? You know best what the family paid to find someone. Is it worth it?"
"Nothing is not worth it..."
Although Prince Meng looked simple-minded and had no courage or determination in dealing with things, he was not stupid. He felt that his father was not telling him the truth, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be that Yaoyao predicted what opportunities Prince Qi would have in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Pingyuan Bo immediately scolded, "Be careful with your words!"
Prince Meng hastened to apologize, but he had a vague answer in his heart. He thought that before, his father sent his legitimate sister to the Prince of Qi's Mansion as a concubine, which was difficult for him to accept. But now, he understood it all.
So this is ah!
This must be the result of Meng Yao's divination, otherwise, my father would definitely not believe it, let alone cooperate.
It's just a little unbelievable. How could the supreme position belong to the King of Qi?
Obviously he is the least likely to get that!
Now that several princes have come out to fight, showing off their own abilities and wealth, many officials in the capital have placed bets, hoping to gain the credit of following the emperor. However, that road is really difficult to take, and there are many dangers. Their Bo Mansion did not want to get involved, and they did not have the strength to get involved. Who would want...
He had actually chosen his target long ago, and he was definitely the winner!
What would the Meng family have to worry about in the future? They were also real in-laws. Who knows, they might even be able to win the title of Duke Cheng'en in the future!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He spoke incoherently, "Dad, do we have to continue looking for that person? This favor is too important. No, if we find him, how can my nephew have a chance? What does Yaoyao think? Is it that... my nephew has no chance? Even with our help, it still doesn't work? What right does the emperor's eldest grandson have?"
"Shut up!" Hearing that what he said was becoming more and more outrageous, Pingyuan Bo glared at him fiercely and warned, "How can you say these words? Are you going crazy too?"
As if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Prince Meng suddenly woke up and shuddered, "Father, I was wrong. I will never dare to talk nonsense again!"
After saying this, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice.
Pingyuan Bo did not stop him, but his expression softened a little, "You should understand that words can cause trouble. Some things can only be buried in your heart and cannot be told to anyone."
Even if you guess it, you can't admit it.
Prince Meng nodded repeatedly, "Son, I'll remember this and I won't make the same mistake again!"
"Well, just remember it. Don't just talk about it. Be careful with your words and actions outside. Don't let others see any traces. Just treat your sister and Prince Qi the same as before. If there is too much difference between now and then, it may arouse suspicion."
"Yes, father."
"Also, no one knows what the outcome will be until the end, so don't be too optimistic. There is no such thing as a foolproof plan in this world."
"My son understands and won't put all his hopes on others to wait for me."
Pingyuan Bo was relieved after hearing this. "Is there anything else?"
"There is one more thing..." At this point, the excitement that had just risen up disappeared completely. Prince Meng whispered, "My son will pass on your instructions to Yaoyao, telling her not to think about the war in the south anymore..."
"She won't?"
"He didn't say whether he was willing or not. But after he questioned his son for a few more questions, his face changed drastically, as if he was stimulated by something. He looked abnormal. What he said was even more..."
"Moreover, how?"
“It’s really creepy when you think about it!”
Pingyuan Bo's expression became serious. "Speak carefully, don't miss a single word."
Prince Meng endured the psychological discomfort and repeated it.
After hearing this, Pingyuan Bo also felt a chill down his spine, his throat was blocked and he was unable to speak.
What kind of monster is his granddaughter?
Seeing that his father seemed to be shocked, Prince Meng whispered, "The war in the south seems to be going smoothly now, with more wins than losses. Although there was an accident at the Prince of Min's Mansion, it had little to do with the soldiers in the barracks. Now we have temporarily stopped the war, and there will definitely be a result in the spring of next year. Do you think it is possible that it will become like what Yaoyao said? With corpses all over the ground and no one can come back?"
After saying that, he did not wait for Pingyuan Bo to speak, and continued to talk on his own, "If that's the case, it would be too terrible. The defeat is so tragic. Can the court withstand it? The northwest is also losing. It won't be a mess that is full of holes in the end for Prince Qi, right?"
This time, Pingyuan Bo did not scold him, but said in a hoarse voice, "Father doesn't know either..."
He thought more deeply than his son. After hearing his granddaughter's reaction, it was obvious that there was something wrong with her divination results, otherwise she would not have been so shocked.
It was because of his interference that Xu Huaiyi was allowed to join the military camp and go to the south to fight against the Japanese pirates. As for the reason, it was very clear. His granddaughter always believed that Xu Huaiyi would be a threat to the Earl's Mansion and needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.
He sent people to assassinate Xu Huaiyi several times, but they all failed and he almost got himself into trouble. He didn't dare to do it again in the capital, but if Xu Huaiyi met with any accident on the battlefield, it would be normal.
Swords and knives have no eyes, so how can there be immortals in a war?
Unexpectedly, he was able to escape the arranged kill situation. Not only that, his performance on the battlefield was as if he was assisted by God. He was extremely brave. The news sent back showed that he rarely lost any battle he participated in. Moreover, he charged into battle and was rarely injured, let alone in danger of his life.
What kind of luck is this?
A person with such good fortune must be a blessed person. How dare he commit murder again?
But obviously, the granddaughter hasn't given up yet!
What’s worse, it seems that there is something wrong with her granddaughter’s ability, which is her greatest reliance!
If the emperor knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would his granddaughter's status plummet, but the Earl's Mansion would also likely be reduced to its original state.
And the predictions and arrangements she made in advance would no longer make people fully believe them.
