“Besides, you also know that the reason I’ve been staying in the northern region and unwilling to return to the capital is mainly because the wedding is imminent.
If 1 go back for the marriage before 1 can treat my hidden illness, what should I do?”
The Fourth Prince paced around the room in frustration, like a beast trapped in an iron cage.
“Your Highness, the King asked you to come back to the capital.”
Although the Fourth Prince was very against returning to the capital, Pei Qian wasn’t worried that he would continue to delay.
It might be possible for Lu Ze to disobey the King’s order, but the Fourth Prince…
It wasn’t that he was underestimating the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince probably didn’t even dare to think about it.
Therefore, although he might feel helpless and angry, he wouldn’t cause much trouble.
“I know!
Isn’t it because I know that this is my father’s instruction that I wanted you to help me think of a way?!
You know about my condition.
That person had just found some clues about his treatment, so he couldn’t let everything go to waste just like that.
“Besides, you know that if I go back to the capital, many eyes will be on me. If anything goes wrong and people see it, won’t I be doomed for the rest of my life?”
The Fourth Prince was actually afraid.
He didn’t dare to disobey orders, but he was even more afraid that the outside world would know that he was impotent.
If word got out, he would really lose that position forever!
“Your Highness, I think you can’t just rely on quacks. You have to find reliable doctors to check your condition.
The doctors in the capital were much more capable and reliable than those in Cloud Mountain City. After we go back, I’ll do my best to arrange things for you, Your Highness.
In addition, the matter of treating you can be delayed a little, but the matter of returning to the capital can’t be delayed anymore.
You’ve made great contributions repeatedly, so the Third Prince probably can’t hold it in anymore.
If I’m not mistaken, the reason the King is urging you to rush back to the capital is most likely because of the Third Prince.
Although it’s easy to make contributions outside the capital, for the sake of your future, 1 think you should return to the capital quickly.”
Pei Qian knew the Fourth Prince very well.
Therefore, he easily grasped the main point of the matter. The Fourth Prince, who was still a little frustrated, stopped and sat back in his seat.
“I know. Cousin, you’re right!
However, I’m unwilling to go back now!”
Pei Qian lowered his eyes to hide the killing intent and disdain in them as he slowly continued to persuade, “Your Highness, after you advance two more steps, which thing in the world won’t be yours?
However, we have to wait a few days!”
“Hahahaha, Cousin, you’re right! I like it!
Cousin, you’re right. I really should prioritize the overall situation now. I shouldn’t be too sentimental!
“Then I’ll leave it to you to arrange things when we go back to the capital.”
“By the way, from now on, the northern region will be handed over to General
Wei Bei to handle… Can we really trust him?”
The Fourth Prince was completely flattered by Pei Qian’s words and laughed out loud, but soon, he thought of what would happen after he left.
To be honest, General Wei Bei was indeed a talent.
In such a short period of time, he had already helped him a few times.
However, it was also because this person was so powerful and outstanding that if they continued to let him develop in the northern region, if he surpassed him…
“Your Highness, there’s no need to use anyone you suspect.
Besides, you haven’t reached that point yet.
This person has contributed greatly several times. If you suspect him at this moment, I’m afraid you’ll disappoint your other subordinates. Please think twice.”
Even though Pei Qian knew that the Fourth Prince was useless, he was still rendered speechless by his current consideration.
As the saying went, dispose of a person when he served his purpose.
Yet he wanted to dispose of him before he even served his purpose.
Did this person even have a brain?!
“I know. I was just asking!
Cousin, you also know that the northern region is extremely important. There are hundreds of thousands of troops here!
If I don’t hand it over to someone I trust, what if something goes wrong and they backstab me? Wouldn’t I become the laughingstock of the world?”
The Fourth Prince coughed softly. He also knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to raise such doubts at this time, but he didn’t forget to defend himself.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. General Wei Bei is still useful to us.”
Pei Qian lowered his eyes. He really wanted to leave.
“Then who should take over County Governor Tang’s position?” Although Pei Qian had promised him repeatedly, the Fourth Prince was still a little worried.
After some thought, he felt that after County Governor Tang was punished, his vacancy could be put to use.
At the very least, they had set up a mole!
Pei Qian couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw the Fourth Prince’s smug look.
Ignoring how much power the county governor had in Cloud Mountain City,
how much authority could a county governor have compared to a general at the border?!
He would be crushed to death with just a flick of the general’s finger.
If he wanted to rely on this position to keep Lu Ze in check, that would be pointless,
If this arrangement was really carried out, the new county governor’s family would probably have to hold a funeral as soon as they left Cloud Mountain City.
It was completely meaningless!
“Your Highness, I think it’s better for you to wait for the officials to make arrangements for the county governor’s residence in Cloud Mountain City. If you arrange everything now and people use this against you when you return to the capital, I’m afraid the King will think that you’re a crony.
If you’re really worried, I think you should think about the princess now.”
Pei Qian felt that it was better to change the topic. Otherwise, if he kept listening to the Fourth Prince’s self-righteous arrangements, he really wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to beat him up.
“What’s there to consider? Didn’t she want to enter my backyard? Then let her return to the capital with us this time.”
After 1 get married, I’ll definitely be conferred the title of king.
The backyard of the ministry is so big. How can she not have a place?”
At the mention of the princess, the Fourth Prince was clearly annoyed and dissatisfied.
A woman who was already in his hands was no different from a rag on the ground.
Besides, Princess Ning Fu had taken the initiative to approach him, so to the Fourth Prince, she was even more worthless!
Seeing the Fourth Prince’s attitude towards Princess Ning Fu, Pei Qian really couldn’t pretend anymore.
He finally understood why Lu Ze had been unwilling to accompany him to see the Fourth Prince recently.. Lu Ze wanted to beat the Fourth Prince up every time he saw him!
