Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 722 - 560: Success or failure, it all lies in today_3
"....."
"So this time, how many people will die in Yanzuo Square? How much chaos will break out in the city?"
"....."
"Once Daxing City falls into chaos, over at the Eastern Capital, not to mention Wang Shaoji who is about to head north and the ever-watchful Turkic tribes, how could they not take action?"
"So that’s how it is,"
Upon hearing him say this, Pei Xingyuan was immediately enlightened and sighed softly, "I thought Uncle had grown senile—"
As he said this, he realized he had misspoken, and cautiously glanced at Yu Wenye. Although Yu Wenye didn’t say anything, he merely glared at him, while Shen Wuzheng helplessly shook his head at the side once more.
Pei Xingyuan chuckled and continued, "But who would have thought, in this world, besides being senile, there is also, rare wisdom in playing dumb."
Shen Wuzheng said, "The Grand Chancellor is like this, not even possessing the rare wisdom."
"....."
"He clearly has complete control over our every move. As long as we don’t stir up any major trouble, he doesn’t intervene much. Because his ultimate goal is to manage this epidemic, while through this epidemic, discern certain people’s stances and assess some people’s abilities."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Wenye, "All of us have already been discerned and assessed by him."
"....." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"And today, he is forcing your elder brother to find the person who administered the medicine in Yanzuo Square and extract the antidote to save Taiyuan and your third brother. Firstly, because the epidemic in Daxing City is already under control, he has the leverage to capture the person behind your elder brother; secondly, he also needs to discern the person behind your elder brother, because—the Young Master Yu Wen is just a step away from the Grand Chancellor’s ’great reward’."
Yu Wenye furrowed his brows again.
Pei Xingyuan also shivered slightly and said, "I thought we had thought through enough already."
"....."
"Never expected the Grand Chancellor—worthy of being the Grand Chancellor."
Shen Wuzheng asked Yu Wenye again, "So where has your brother gone now? Has he gone to find that person?"
Yu Wenye said, "After coming out of the palace, he walked with me for a while. I said I was coming to see Xingyuan, he asked me to send his regards, and he was going to Yanzuo Square to handle affairs."
"He returned to Yanzuo Square?"
"Yes."
"Didn’t he go to find someone?"
"My people over at Changle Square can see the situation in Yanzuo Square. For now, it seems he is still inside Yanzuo Square, hasn’t left, and hasn’t sent anyone to deliver a message."
Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan exchanged a glance, both displaying a hint of confusion. After a while, Pei Xingyuan murmured, "From the situation over the past few days, that person couldn’t possibly be hiding in Yanzuo Square. He must be somewhere in the city, able to figure out many of our clues."
"....."
"Your brother going to Yanzuo Square, could it be he’s not planning to find the medicine to save your third brother?"
Yu Wenye shook his head and said, "That’s impossible. Not to mention our father’s words, just considering the relationship between my elder brother and third brother, he couldn’t possibly disregard third brother’s illness."
"....."
"So, I speculate he has another means, or there’s another person, who can help him to notify that person."
"....."
"And his lack of movement is simply to avoid leaving any trace for us."
Shen Wuzheng pondered for a while and asked, "Were there any others present besides you today?"
Yu Wenye nodded, "Yes."
"Who?"
"Left Brave General, Yu Dingxing."
Upon hearing this name, Pei Xingyuan’s eyes lit up immediately and said, "This man, he and your brother, have a ’deep relationship.’ If not for their prior collusion—" He paused at this point, seeing Shen Wuzheng shaking his head slightly at the side, he quickly chuckled, corrected himself, and said, "Collude! If not for their collusion, your brother wouldn’t have been able to capture Daxing City so easily and accomplish that great feat. Speaking of which, did your brother have any prior dealings with him?"
Yu Wenye shook his head, "Our family has never had any dealings with the Yu Family. How he and Yu Dingxing got acquainted, and why they were able to take down Daxing City together this time, up until now, I haven’t figured it out."
"....."
"Only, from the current situation, there seems to be an invisible link between them."
"An invisible link..."
Shen Wuzheng murmured these words again, his gaze flickering slightly, and he softly said, "Perhaps, it’s a person who has never surfaced?"
Upon hearing these words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tightened.
A person!
A person who never shows up, yet appears in every crucial matter, calculating each step.
So—
Everything seems to be just right!
Shen Wuzheng turned his head to look out the window. By this time, the afternoon was already past. The sun at its peak was slowly moving westward, as if their plan was also moving step by step towards its end.
He murmured, "It seems, success or failure, hinges on today."
He then turned to Yu Wenye, "By the way, where is Ru Yi?"
