Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 801 - 637: Good-for-Nothing

"I was hiding in the shadows, watching the man in black at a disadvantage, and wanted to assist. But his martial arts were too formidable, I feared I wouldn’t be able to match him, so I hesitated. Unexpectedly, one of the men in black suddenly shouted in my direction."

You Yuan was hiding in the shadows, and yet the man in black could still spot his hiding place, shouting for him to come out and give them a hand?

Yuan was naturally startled; he never expected his hiding place to be discovered, nor for such words to be spoken.

Could it be that these people knew him? His first thought was the Third Prince; could these people have been sent by the Third Prince?

Since he had been discovered, he decided to go all out. He covered his face, charged forward, and began to fight.

"I thought those men in black and I were on the same side, so I went forward to attack the Eldest Prince with them. However, Assistant Leader Liu Dong beside the Eldest Prince saw through my martial arts and recognized me."

Saying this, he anxiously glanced at the Third Prince. Noticing the Third Prince deep in thought with his eyes closed, he relaxed a bit.

"He revealed my identity, and that man with a dark face was closing in step by step. Unable to avoid it, I feigned only then recognizing the Eldest Prince and started fighting against those men in black."

You Yuan was equally at a loss; at first, he thought those men in black were his allies, so he wanted to lend a hand. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But who would have thought that dark-faced man would turn the tide, seeing the men in black were no match, and for self-preservation, he had to switch sides.

If not, the people on the Eldest Prince’s side were not to be trifled with and would surely take care of him on the spot.

In fact, he was already contemplating defecting at the last minute; he had no choice, as the situation was beyond his control!

However, he did not strike those men in black harshly, just put on a show!

Who would have thought those men in black were not with him? And the Eldest Prince kept him alive to frame the Third Prince.

He thought at the time he had escaped a disaster, feeling such relief he almost wept with joy.

The Third Prince knew You Yuan’s thoughts well enough; wasn’t he just greedy for life and fearful of death, afraid of being killed by the Eldest Prince’s men?

However, this was not the time to ponder these things; the number of people he could use was dwindling, and this person still had some utility.

Once the Third Prince calmed down, his mind naturally spun quickly.

"Those men in black were outmatched and had to retreat! After they left, the Eldest Prince couldn’t hold on and fainted."

You Yuan did not mention himself, better let the Third Prince not focus on him for now.

Yesterday, the Emperor had already summoned him to the palace to discuss the matter briefly.

Unfortunately, at that time, he was dead set on ambushing and killing the Eldest Prince, not closely observing those men in black.

He didn’t know if the Third Prince would want his life after this, You Yuan pondered, maybe he should plan ahead.

"They left you alive just to more clearly frame me; after all, with you present, there was no way I wouldn’t be implicated. Big Brother is truly a master strategist! Never missing a chance to bring down a brother."

The Third Prince coldly snorted, his expression slightly grim, flames of resentment burning in his heart.

In his heart, he cursed, hoping the Eldest Prince would never awaken again as the best outcome.

"Your Highness, judging from this, we’ve fallen into the trap. The mastermind behind this is truly scheming; once this event occurs, the Emperor will undoubtedly investigate you first. These days, we should remain cautious and not act recklessly."

You Guangzong feared the Third Prince might not swallow this anger and do something untimely.

Like assassination or impeachment, he was truly worried. He feared the Third Prince would act impulsively.

The Emperor had already expressed considerable criticism of the Third Prince recently, and with the previous court battle over succession, the Eldest Prince’s injury, the Emperor’s first thought would certainly be the Third Prince.

"Am I unaware of this? It’s just that the injustice is unbearable. And why did Big Brother go to Hejian Prefecture; this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated."

The Third Prince was puzzled—his Big Bro had a perfectly good Prince Mansion to stay in, why was he running around?

To be assassinated was deserved, but the hateful part was getting him involved, forcibly pulling him down with them.

He thought of that previous extermination case, indeed, he had a hand in it, but there was no need for Big Brother to go personally, right?

"We got no news, yet the mastermind knew in advance, and even made so many arrangements ahead of time. Could this person be a soothsayer or what?"

Advisor Wang Chang interjected at this moment, holding a bit of admiration for the mastermind.

However, whether the Eldest Prince’s survival was part of the plan or a slip-up, no one knew.

Even if it was a slip-up, the mastermind’s sagacity was genuinely impressive.

The Third Prince’s face grew darker listening to this.

Not offering plans or strategies is one thing! But to praise others while belittling our own strength?

The tone clearly showed admiration for the mastermind, was he rebelling or what?

You Guangzong could tell the Third Prince was about to erupt from these words; Wang Chang sure was brainless, but he was secretly glad to see Wang Chang getting scolded.

After all, this guy usually found him disagreeable, always picking on him; he didn’t want to intervene this time.

"Predicting the future? Does Mr. Wang think this person can foresee the future?"

The Third Prince looked at Wang Chang with disdain; how did such a person manage to enter the Prince Mansion?

He had several advisers, and they generally had some wit. No wonder Wang Chang seldom approached him; the man was a fool.

The Third Prince somewhat wanted Wang Chang gone, finding this person very displeasing, deciding to remove him from his sight.

This person knew some of his affairs; he wouldn’t let him leave the Prince Mansion alive.

At that time, his Prince Mansion must be closely watched by others, so he didn’t dare make any big moves. He decided to wait for the storm to pass before dealing with this person.

With this plan in mind, the Third Prince looked at Wang Chang as if looking at a dead man, his gaze extremely cold.

Wang Chang shivered involuntarily, feeling the Third Prince’s gaze on him was somewhat strange.

"Your Highness! It must be that they have a hidden guard in the Eldest Prince’s Mansion, that’s how they can grasp his movements timely, and the status of this hidden guard in the Eldest Prince’s Mansion is not low."

Another adviser, Fang Yan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, and his words were deemed very logical by both the Third Prince and You Guangzong.

Fang Yan had been silent for a while, but he had to speak now.

He noticed the Third Prince’s gaze toward Wang Chang was unfavorable and realized the Third Prince was thinking of clearing Wang Chang out.

He was no Wang Chang, knowing that he could not compare to You Guangzong, but he had his schemes.

To preserve his life, Fang Yan didn’t want to lag, actively joining in.

The Third Prince nodded, "Indeed! It seems Big Brother’s Mansion isn’t as solid as it appears! Gentlemen, who do you think this mastermind might be?"
