Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1939: Smile

The Fourth Prince was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He did not want to live with the Prime Minister, as the latter often spoke to him in a senior tone due to the generational gap. Meeting occasionally was bearable, but living together every day was beyond his patience to handle.

However, he could not voice these thoughts directly, so he hinted, "Grandfather, isn’t it improper for you to live separately from Grandmother for so long? Shouldn’t you be living with her?"

The Fourth Prince had observed for a long time, and amidst the crowd, he did not see his grandmother’s figure.

"No, no."

"What’s the matter? Now that Uncle is no longer here, you should reconcile with Grandmother."

"Your grandmother has entered the Imperial Palace, and Grandfather, being a grown man, cannot stay in the palace overnight."

"Oh, I see!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Yes, indeed. Grandfather is at such an age and yet has no fixed residence. Ultimately, it’s all because of the War Prince’s arrogance; he does not regard the Emperor at all and even dared to demolish the mansion of the Father-in-law of the Emperor. It’s simply outrageous."

The Prime Minister grew more irate as he spoke but was helpless against Long Rui. Even now, he feared that Long Rui would lodge a complaint at tomorrow’s imperial court session.

Though the Emperor harbored great disdain for the War Prince, and wished him dead, on the surface, he maintained a facade of harmony due to Long Rui’s power over the military. In reality, the Emperor knew well how much he loathed the War Prince.

The Fourth Prince was extremely disdainful in his heart and said, "Grandfather, I must say, after maneuvering through the court for so many years, how could you do something so foolish!"

The Prime Minister grew displeased upon hearing this: "Xuanxuan, how can you speak like this? Grandfather ended up in this situation to help you, and if you can’t comfort me, at least don’t call Grandfather foolish?"

The Fourth Prince arched a sword-like eyebrow and continued, "Indeed, last night’s operation lacked thorough consideration. Such an important assassination of Situ Xueer, how could you use our own people! If anything happens, you won’t be able to escape."

The Prime Minister was also deeply regretful, as his men were trained with devilish rigor and had always been loyal to him. He never anticipated that things would not go as planned, and judging by the morning’s events, they had already betrayed him.

This time, it can be said he suffered a humbling in humiliation.

The Fourth Prince glanced at him and said in a ghostly manner, "Isn’t there a way to sneak people into the War Prince’s Mansion, kill those few, and when there’s no evidence, the War Prince can’t do anything to us."

The Prime Minister shook his head and said helplessly, "The War Prince’s martial arts are supremely strong, and since last night was unsuccessful, with him now stationed at the War Prince’s Mansion, we would be courting death."

"Is there no choice but to wait for doom?"

"Take it one step at a time." The Prime Minister, after all, was of advanced age, feeling some backache after standing for so long, said, "Xuanxuan, Grandfather is getting old, let’s go inside and sit."

The goods from more than ten carriages were gradually being moved into the mansion, and at this moment, the Fourth Prince could only resign himself to fate.

"Grandfather, please."

"Eh! Alright!"

The Prime Minister and the Fourth Prince spoke as they walked into the mansion.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Several shadowy figures swiftly ran across the rooftop, quickly stopping in front of a large mansion.

The leader stopped, looked up at the plaque above the main gate.

On both sides of the gate hung two large lanterns, and in the faint light, the three large characters "General’s Mansion" were clearly visible.
