I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 273

273 Could It Be That The Fourth Prince Discovered Their Movements?

“We’ll see.” After Lin Suisui thought for a moment, she felt that Lu Ze’s suggestion was feasible. However, she suddenly thought of something and suggested, “No, we can’t be the villains!

The person who wanted me to arrange for Doctor Luo and the others was Pei Qian. I’ll leave this matter to him!

Moreover, Mr. Pei has so many capable people under him. It’s easier for him to find someone to manage the accounts and entertain guests than us!”

Lu Ze didn’t respond and only looked at Lin Suisui with a smile.

!!
Lin Suisui was very dissatisfied with his reserved attitude. She pushed his shoulder gently as she asked unhappily, “What do you think?”

“Of course it’s a good idea.” Lu Ze nodded. “After I go back, I’ll tell him not to make things difficult for you. How about that?!”

This arrangement didn’t sound like a problem. However, after Lu Ze went home and found Pei Qian, he didn’t have the time to tell him about this because Pei Qian had brought him even more troublesome news—the fourth prince had come to the north.

“The matter regarding the refugee camp was still brought to the royal court. In order to calm things down, the fourth prince took the initiative to come to the north personally. By the time I sent all the news back to the capital, the fourth prince was already on his way!

I’ve received the relevant news too late.”

At the mention of this, Pei Qian’s expression darkened.

“So be it. Can you stop him now?” Lu Ze ground his tea slowly. When he heard Pei Qian’s complaint, he replied calmly, “Don’t worry, his eyes can’t see through much for the time being. He won’t see through you.”

“Is that what I’m worried about?!” Pei Qian was so angry when he heard Lu Ze’s words that he almost jumped on the spot. He turned around, but was rendered speechless by Lu Ze’s calm appearance. Helpless, he sat opposite Lu Ze and tried to reach an agreement with him at least in terms of emotions and attitude.

At the very least, there had to be some urgency!

“Your Highness, don’t forget that he’s your biological brother!”

This hint was obvious enough!

Even if Lu Ze was disguised now, since they were biological brothers, after interacting for so many years, the fourth prince should know Lu Ze better than an outsider, right?!

If the fourth prince really discovered something…

If he died, but what about the Crown Princess?!

“Don’t worry, your cousin doesn’t understand me as well as you think. He’s thinking about how to compete with his third brother for the throne. How can he have the time to understand my preferences?”

Lu Ze raised his hand and handed Pei Qian a cup of tea. Then, he said slowly, “Instead of worrying about me, why don’t you think about how you’ll end up if your cousin comes over and wants to join forces with the general who stabilizes the north?”

Your aunt is not someone who can tolerate it!”

With her feisty personality, it wouldn’t be easy to shut up her up when she saw the fourth prince.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it!” Pei Qian took a sip of tea. Since he was here to worry about Lu Ze’s business, he was naturally confident in dealing with the trivial matters on his side.

Still…

At this point, Pei Qian subconsciously thought of something else.

“Your Highness, aren’t you worried at all?” Pei Qian played with the teacup in his hand as he sized up Lu Ze, who was still calm and composed.

As Lu Ze held his teacup, he didn’t even look up as he said, “Previously, when I left the East Palace with the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess bade farewell to the fourth prince on the palace path.

At that time, I wasn’t even worried, so what’s there to worry about now?”

“Huh, what did the Crown Princess say to the fourth prince?” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Ze curiously.

His cousin had never mentioned anything to him about this!

“The fourth prince probably apologized and gave the crown prince consort some silver!” Lu Ze gently shook the teacup in his hand as he said aloofly, “The crown prince consort accepted the silver and used it to buy medicine for my injuries.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Fourth Brother for this. If not for the money he gave the crown princess back then, it would have been difficult for her to buy me medicine.”

“…”

Pei Qian rolled his eyes. He didn’t want to speak now. He even wanted to spit at the man in front of him on behalf of his cousin!

“The fourth prince will come to Cloud Mountain City in about three days. We can put aside other things for the time being, but we must complete the change in the city’s security personnel as soon as possible!”

Lu Ze dumped the remnant tea before instructing Pei Qian solemnly, “At the very least, there can’t be anyone else sneaking into Cloud Mountain City so easily and causing trouble like today!”

“I think a little bit of chaos isn’t that bad.” Although Pei Qian nodded in agreement with Lu Ze’s arrangements, he still had a new suggestion. “My cousin has always been timid and has always lived in the capital, so he hasn’t suffered much before. It’s cold in the north, so it’s better for him to return to the capital as soon as possible!”

Lu Ze didn’t respond. He just refilled Pei Qian’s cup of tea and the two of them didn’t say anything else. They just turned to look at the snow outside the window and the red plum tree that was blooming in the snow…

Lin Suisui only found out from Lu Ze that the fourth prince was coming to Cloud Mountain City later on.

Even though she had always been calm, she couldn’t help but panic when she heard this news. “Isn’t the fourth prince about to get married? Why did he come to the north during the new year?”

From the looks of it, he had probably even spent New Year’s Eve on the way to the north.

So, what was he up to?!

Could it be that the fourth prince had discovered their whereabouts?

If that was really the case…

Lin Suisui gritted her teeth. “I knew that Mr. Pei wasn’t a good person. Could it be that he told on us?!”

“The fourth prince didn’t come because of us!” Although Lu Ze also felt that it was better for Pei Qian to be scapegoated, he felt that blaming him for this was really too farfetched. Therefore, he explained for Pei Qian, “It’s about the refugee camp. The information we sent back previously allowed the third prince to seize the opportunity to target the fourth prince, so the fourth prince volunteered to help.

The weather in the north is quite harsh now. By the time Pei Qian’s new news was sent back, the fourth prince had already set off!”
