Chapter 201 Seizing Power (3)
"Your people have been discovered, so the regent deliberately passed this news to you."
"It's bad!" Duanmu Lei broke out in a cold sweat and quickly kicked the servant, "Go and get my dad!"
"No need, I'm here!" The majestic voice of Zhenwei Hou came, and he walked over wearing a cloak.
Wei Ning sneered in his heart, as expected, he had alarmed this old fox.
"Dad, did you hear what she said?" Duanmu Lei hurried forward.
Marquis Zhenwei looked Wei Ning up and down with his shrewd old eyes. He saw that her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in blood, and she had obviously suffered a lot of injuries. Her clothes were tattered, as if she had escaped from somewhere.
He had already suspected that the prince had been abducted. Who could be so powerful as to abduct the prince under the nose of the regent?
Besides, everyone in the world knows that this prince is a waste. If anyone wants to use him to threaten the Qinglong Empire, then the person who kidnapped her is definitely a fool!
Furthermore, even if he coveted the crown prince's beauty, kidnapping her would mean challenging the authority of the regent. Who would be so lustful and dare to endure the wrath of the regent and the entire Qinglong Empire?
Marquis Zhenwei has been thinking about this matter these days . The more he thinks about it, the more he feels he cannot figure out the Regent.
Maybe the Regent wanted to do something, but what was it?
He had been thinking about it for several days but couldn't figure it out. Now when he saw the prince, he remembered that his people had heard from the regent that the prince had been abducted, and he suddenly felt cold.
If all this was done by the Regent and the Crown Prince was imprisoned by him, then he was trying to set a trap for the Duanmu family to fall into!
"What exactly is going on?" asked Marquis Zhenwei in a deep voice.
Wei Ning shook her head and said in a panic, "I don't know the details. I only know that the Fourth Prince has secretly brought people into the palace with the intention of holding the Emperor hostage."
"What? He's so bold that he dares to usurp the throne!" Duanmu Lei shouted, "He doesn't deserve it!"
"Has the Regent allowed it?" Marquis Zhenwei's expression changed slightly, but he did not show any panic.
"The Regent is not in the capital right now, otherwise how could I escape?"
Zhenwei Hou was shocked, his eyes widened: "What did you say?"
"I only know that he and Qin Feng had left Kyoto and headed for the border ."
Duanmu Lei looked at his father, then at Wei Ning , confused: "Why is the Regent going to the border?"
"Idiot! He will personally mobilize the troops! When the time comes, the Fourth Prince will hold the Emperor hostage and ask the Emperor to issue an edict saying that our Duanmu family is in rebellion, and the Regent will lead the troops to the capital to defend the Emperor!"
Duanmu Lei was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was furious and angry. "What a jerk Mu Tianhua is! Dad, we can't let them succeed! How can we just sit there and wait for death!"
"Hmph!" Marquis Zhenwei rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Ning.
Wei Ning hurriedly said: "My Lord, you must save me. Once they succeed, they will kill me immediately!"
"Don't worry, Prince. You are the legitimate heir." Marquis Zhenwei glanced at her again, "You should go to the palace now. Don't alert the enemy."
"But what if they kill me?"
"If they kill you, it would be real treason, and then you will be cursed by the world. They will treat you well and let you write a letter of abdication in the future." Marquis Zhenwei comforted him kindly.
Wei Ning nodded: "I see, that's good, that's good."
He looks like a cowardly and useless prince.
