C2723 How Did He Know
Last night, when he was discussing this matter with the Eighth Prince, there was no one else around. Only the two of them knew about this matter.
As for the Eighth Prince... He probably wouldn't go and report it either. After all... The relationship between him and Fourth Prince was very bad, and just now, in the main hall... The two of them had completely shed all pretenses of cordiality. Once Fourth Prince ascended the throne... The Eighth Prince's life would definitely not be easy. There was no reason for him to inform them. Furthermore, he should want Fourth Prince to die more than him.
The Tenth Prince racked his brain, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on. Where did this news come from? And how did Fourth Prince know about this?
Obviously, the Tenth Prince wouldn't know about it. Back in the main hall... It wasn't just him and the Eighth Prince, there was also another person present. However, that person was invisible, so they did not notice him at all. The content of their conversation was also heard clearly.
"You still want to complain?" Fourth Prince said disdainfully, "I never thought that you would have the courage to do such a thing. Since you have already done it, you have to bear the consequences."
After saying that, Fourth Prince gestured to the guards behind him and went forward to grab the Tenth Prince. Fourth Prince would never be polite to someone who dared to plot against him. He had brought a lot of guards, and all of them were elites. Although the Tenth Prince had wanted to keep these guards outside the palace, however... Fourth Prince insisted on bringing them along. The Tenth Prince was afraid that Fourth Prince would have doubts in his heart. Therefore, he didn't insist.
But now, these people that he had personally let in had become the ones who wanted his life.
When he saw the guards behind Fourth Prince wanting to capture him, the Tenth Prince was naturally frightened, and quickly ordered the guards around him to block the attack. Fortunately, this was his territory after all. Although he didn't have the support of a large number of generals and officials, however, he still had some guards.
However, the Tenth Prince was not valued. Whether it was officials, generals, princes, or old princes... They all did not place much importance on the Tenth Prince, so although the Tenth Prince also had guards... However, the number and quality of the guards were not very high. The Tenth Prince's guards couldn't compare to Fourth Prince's guards in terms of individual combat ability.
"Do you think these people can stop my men?" Fourth Prince looked at the Tenth Prince with disdain and said, "Since I already knew about your matter in advance, I naturally made preparations to come here."
Although Fourth Prince had brought some guards with him, however... Compared to the Tenth Prince's men, they had a slight advantage in terms of individual strength. Although the Tenth Prince wasn't valued, he still had a huge advantage in terms of numbers. However, since this was the opponent's territory, there were still some guards.
However, although Fourth Prince didn't bring many people with him, it wasn't a problem to ensure Fourth Prince's safety. Fourth Prince's biggest reliance wasn't the guards who followed him in, but the people who came after him. Just like what he said just now, since he already knew the secret plot of the Tenth Prince and the Eighth Prince... The fact that he dared to attend the banquet indicated that he was prepared for this. Otherwise, why would he come here and seek death?
As for how Fourth Prince knew about the conspiracy between the Eighth and Tenth Prince, he had to start from this morning.
This morning, when Fourth Prince just woke up, he was actually by his bed. He found a piece of paper, which shocked him greatly. This meant that someone had come to his room at night. However, he and his guards did not notice... Luckily, the other party had no intention of harming him, or else... Wouldn't he die without knowing how?
Thinking of this, Fourth Prince broke out in cold sweat, thinking that he had been too careless. After that, the first thing he thought of was that the person who entered his room at night... It was the person who killed Old Emperor, because the person who had sneaked into his bedroom... His skills were truly amazing. As for the person who killed Old Emperor... He was not weak either.
With such a person hiding in the dark, Fourth Prince felt very uneasy. Fortunately, the only good news was that the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions towards him. Otherwise, he might have been killed by the other party just like Old Emperor.
Fourth Prince thought as he arranged for more people to protect him. The next time the other party came, he would recruit them if he had the chance. After all, everyone wanted such an expert. Furthermore... He didn't have any ill intentions towards the other party, which gave him the chance to recruit him.
After thinking about this, Fourth Prince opened the note and saw the content written on it. After reading it, his expression changed many times.
The content of the paper was about the conspiracy between the Eighth and Tenth Prince, including the time when the Eighth Prince went to the Tenth Prince's place. The way the two of them were about to attack was similar to how the man was at the scene. It was as if the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince had conspired against each other, and they had explained it too clearly.
Fourth Prince had been suspicious at first, but when he thought about the strength of the other party... After the guards around him didn't notice him sneaking into his bedroom, he started to believe the other party's words. Perhaps, the other party had been hiding in the residence of the Tenth Prince. Thus, he had overheard the conversation.
In Fourth Prince's point of view, the fact that the other party had taken the initiative to inform him was a sign of goodwill. He felt that the chances of him recruiting the other party had greatly increased.
After that, he started to think about how he should deal with this matter.
Fourth Prince naturally cherished his life. His first thought was to not participate in this banquet. In this way, regardless of whether the contents of the note were true or false, he wouldn't be in any danger.
However, he rejected this idea after that. If he didn't go, he wouldn't be able to prove that the Eighth and Tenth Prince were plotting to kill him in secret. Those two could continue hiding. Who knew when they would try to assassinate him again? Maybe next time, no one would remind him.
If I go this time, I can take advantage of this opportunity. After eliminating the Eighth and Tenth Princes and eliminating the two hidden dangers, at the same time, he could also warn the other princes not to have any unnecessary thoughts. He could make them behave, and if that was the case, he would ascend to the throne. And there would be no more obstructions.
He could still ensure his own safety and ensure that his plan could be implemented before he knew the contents of the plan of the Eighth and Tenth Prince.
However, Fourth Prince didn't know that the person who thought like this was surnamed Yan, and had been killed by him.
