Arbitrary and cruel, but also with a strong desire stirred from the depths of his heart, this is the second prince Li Yuntian.

Liu Zhongqing stared at Li Yuntian for a long time.

After a while, he chuckled and said, "The second prince is indeed young and promising, and I admire him."

"It's just my fish pond. What I want to do with it, that's my business."

"It's not the second person's turn to intervene!"

The smile gradually faded away, and then there was a biting coldness. These words were said with great determination and indifference, and did not give Li Yuntian any face at all.

Li Yuntian's expression froze slightly. He did not expect Liu Zhongqing to change his face so quickly.

Because his age is comparable to that of Emperor Wu, Liu Zhongqing's face has fallen slightly, making him look senile.

The eyebrows on both sides extend downward, giving a rather immortal look.

At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Second Prince, do you think you killed my fish, and I don't dare to do anything to you?"

Hearing this, Li Yuntian swallowed unconsciously.

It turned out that Liu Zhongqing already knew that he killed Su Zhaoyang.

Why wasn't it exposed immediately?

Are you worried about his throne? Or do you have other plans?

Li Yuntian couldn't guess Liu Zhongqing's psychological activities, but he knew that his current situation was definitely not good.

If you offend the Prime Minister, I am afraid that you will encounter a lot of resistance in the court battles in the future.

Just being a prince is enough for him to drink a pot. If he becomes an enemy of Liu Zhongqing, it will be even more difficult.

Li Yuntian secretly cursed himself for being reckless and impulsive.

But before doing anything, you should think twice and be cautious.

Li Yuntian cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Liu Zaifu, please forgive me for being rude just now. I..."

Liu Zhongqing looked sideways at the second prince, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"This junior knows that Liu Zaifu must have known everything about King Zhaoyang's death. This junior no longer hides and hides. It was indeed this junior who did it."

"Humph." Liu Zhongqing snorted coldly, with a cold look in his eyes.

Li Yuntian continued, "Actually... this junior does these things... all for the sake of you, Mr. Zaifu."

Hearing this, experienced people like Liu Zhongqing were shocked by such strong words.

Everyone in the Wu Dynasty didn't know that Su Zhaoyang was a chess piece that the Liu family had trained for many years and was his right-hand man.

But now, Li Yuntian said that he did all this for himself!

Liu Zhongqing couldn't help but sneered and said mockingly: "Although I am old, I am not confused. The second prince does not need to bluff here."

Li Yuntian looked extremely sincere and said seriously: "What this junior said is true. Su Zhaoyang committed a serious crime by losing food and herbs in Jingzhou and became a shame to the Wu Dynasty."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not kill him precisely because he is yours and it is easier to impeach you with him."

"Instead of leaving this clue for the prince to catch, it is better to deal with him. Only by having no weak points can you be foolproof."

"All this this junior has done can be said to be for the sake of the great cause of the Wu Dynasty for generations to come, or it can also be said that it is for the sake of your safety, Lord Zaifu."

Liu Zhongqing was silent for a moment and did not refute.

Li Yuntian was unexpectedly honest by Liu Zhongqing, saying that he would rather deal with real villains than make friends with hypocrites.

This greatly changed Liu Zhongqing's impression of the second prince.

"I know that when the second prince comes to see me today, it will definitely not be as simple as it seems."

"Since the Second Prince has heard so much from me, an old man, why don't you tell me what happened when you came to visit me today."

Li Yuntian was overjoyed to see that the other party's attitude had finally softened, and he quickly said, "My father is old, and now the prince has the final say in government affairs. There are undercurrents among the major factions in the court."

"My father is critically ill now. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive March or May. Then there will definitely be a bloody storm in the court."

"Liu Zaifu was a high-ranking minister of the Wu Dynasty, so how could he bear to watch the court lose balance and the country collapse? Are we going to let the prince continue to be so arrogant and domineering? Are we willing to watch the people being displaced and living in dire straits? Is it just that?

Do you want to allow traitors to run rampant and do whatever they want?"

"I don't believe that there is no one in the world who can punish the prince! As long as we unite, we can definitely kill the prince and restore peace to the Wu Dynasty."

When the second prince spoke, the atmosphere was high and the blood was surging, as if in the next second he was ready to send a hundred thousand troops to the border to force the prince to hand over his throne, depose him, and establish a new king.

However, Liu Zhongqing just glanced at Li Yuntian indifferently.

It seemed that he turned a deaf ear to his suggestion.

Liu Zhongqing knew that Li Yuntian was very ambitious, and he had repeatedly advised Emperor Wu to depose the prince.

However, Emperor Wu always resolutely defended the prince and even reprimanded Li Yuntian because of this incident.

From then on, he never dared to mention this matter in front of Emperor Wu.

However, not saying it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to. Over the years, he has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that can bring down the prince.

And he also vaguely sensed that this opportunity was coming soon.

Liu Zhongqing handed over the bait and threw it casually into the pond, then walked slowly back to the hall, sat down and took a sip of the cold herbal tea.

He said coldly, "Second Prince, do you still want to kill the king and seize power?"

Although Liu Zhongqing looked gentle and elegant with a smile on his lips, there was a cold light in his deep eyes.

Obviously, he does not agree with or support Li Yuntian's words.

This sentence was like a basin of ice water, which woke up Li Yuntian hard.

He almost committed a big taboo just now.

This is the crime of beheading.

Li Yuntian opened his folding fan and gently fanned the cool breeze, more like fanning away the anger in his heart.

He said: "Prime Minister Liu has misunderstood this prince. I have no intention of killing the king and seizing power."

"Oh? Now that the prince is the eldest prince, how do the second prince plan to realize the grand plan you just described?"

"Is it possible that after the eldest prince becomes the emperor, the country of Wu Dynasty will be handed over to you?"

Liu Zhongqing's voice became colder and colder, and danger flashed in his eyes.

His eyes were locked on Li Yuntian, not missing any subtle changes in him.

Li Yuntian's heart trembled suddenly.

However, this man has always had a strong psychological quality. Even though he was shocked for a moment by Liu Zhongqing's threat, he quickly calmed down.

There was an arrogant look in his eyes, and he laughed and said: "Liu Zaifu, since I dare to say it, there must be a way."
