Chapter 180 - 180 “Would You Believe Me If I Said I Want The Empire To Be At Peace?!”



When he heard that she had woken up, he came over to visit her despite the fact that he had yet to recover. In the end, he suffered such grievances!

What was the point of him going out of his way to see her?!

He should immediately write a letter and report the true identity of this evil couple to the Imperial Court. Then, he would send them back to the capital so he could receive a reward!

He wanted to see if they could still talk nonsense in front of the Imperial City’s torture officers after they were sent to the capital!

!!

Just as Pei Qian was thinking about how to settle scores with Lu Ze and Lin Suisui later, Lu Ze took the initiative to come.

“What are you doing here?!”

Pei Qian glared at Lu Ze, who had walked in calmly as if no one was around. He gritted his teeth indignantly and leaned against the pillow as he glared at Lu Ze, who was sitting beside him calmly.

“To see if you’re dead or not!”

Lu Ze sat by Pei Qian’s bed. Although he didn’t show it on his face, the mischief in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.

“Tsk, I didn’t know that you’re so mischievous!”

Pei Qian spat and turned around in disdain. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll reveal your whereabouts to the royal court?!”

How fearless!

“If you really wanted to reveal it, it would have been impossible for me and Suisui to leave the capital!” Lu Ze stood up and walked to the table at the side to pour himself a cup of tea. “I’ve always been very curious about what your motive is!”

Actually, Pei Qian wasn’t the only one observing them along the way. He had also been paying attention to Pei Qian.

Actually, the moment he saw Pei Qian at the city gate of the capital, he knew that his and Lin Suisui’s identities had been exposed! Originally, he thought that it was impossible for them to leave and enter the city successfully, but to his surprise, Pei Qian didn’t expose them. Instead, he let them set off safely with the refugees from the refugee camp to the north.

He had once suspected that Pei Qian was doing this for the sake of the fourth prince’s family.

Although he had been demoted from the East Palace because of the false accusation, he had not been deposed!

As long as he didn’t return, no matter how powerful the Third Prince was in the royal court, he could only be a prince! This way, the Fourth Prince’s faction could have time to slowly expand their power until they could rival the Third Prince one day!

However, what Pei Qian had done along the way didn’t seem to be the case.

His target wasn’t only the Du family, but also the Gao family, which was related to the Pei family!

The Northern Battlefront Army was the most important force on the Fourth Prince’s side. Although most of it was in Gao Xuwei’s hands, there were still 200,000 troops!

Compared to the divided Yanyun Army, if this faction, coupled with the Yuelin Army that Pei Qian had once controlled at the southern border, could really be used by the Fourth Prince, then the military power he had as the crown prince would probably be incomparable.

However, from Pei Qian’s current actions, it seemed that he wanted to completely wipe out the Gao family!

What did he want to do?!

“If I say that I want the peace of the empire, would you believe me, Your Highness?!” Pei Qian raised his hand to take the teacup from Lu Ze, but because of his words, Lu Ze retracted his hand. Pei Qian couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright, alright. Not to mention Your Highness, even I don’t believe myself!”

“But don’t worry, Your Highness. Although it’s not convenient for me to tell you my goal now, don’t worry. I definitely won’t be your enemy for the time being!

I even want to follow you!”

After he took the teacup from Lu Ze’s hand, the smile on Pei Qian’s face widened. His tone was very calm and sincere, which surprised Lu Ze. “You want to follow me?!

Mr. Pei, your cousin is the Fourth Prince.

“The Fourth Prince has many supporters in the imperial court now. Compared to me, who has fled to the north, if you want to fulfill your ambitions, shouldn’t you follow your cousin?!”

Lu Ze sat back down beside Pei Qian. He didn’t believe a single word Pei Qian had just said.

“But Your Highness knows better than me that my cousin is suitable to be a profligate prince, but if he rules the world… is he qualified enough?!”

Pei Qian took a sip of tea slowly as he said disdainfully.

“That’s not what you said previously! I remember that you gave most of the credit to your cousin, the fourth prince, for the victory at the southern border!

At that time, there were people in the royal court who were dissatisfied with this, but you came forward and said that the fourth prince was kind and loyal!

“It’s only been a few years, but you’ve changed your mind already?!”

Lu Ze wasn’t so easy to fool. When Pei Qian mentioned the fourth prince, his tone was disdainful, so when Lu Ze refuted Pei Qian, his attitude wasn’t very amicable.

Pei Qian wasn’t angry. He only replied very calmly, “People change. Previously, I felt that he was good, but now, I feel that he’s not good enough. I just had a change of mind!

I’m not surprised that you don’t believe me, Your Highness!

After all, your current situation doesn’t look good! Therefore, it’s reasonable for you to be worried that I’ll hit you when you’re down!”

“I’ve thought about it carefully. There’s only one difference!” In the face of Pei Qian’s provocation, Lu Ze seemed abnormally calm. “You’ve actually been keeping a respectful distance from your cousin. On the other hand, your concubine brothers are very close to the fourth prince! Because of this, you were almost dragged down from your position by your father!

However, later on, there was news that the fourth prince had dealings with the sixth daughter of the Left Ministry. In less than half a year, you became your cousin’s trusted aide!

However, a few months ago, Suisui married into the East Palace and became my first wife. As for the fourth prince, he married another confidant. It seemed like he had strengthened his relationship with the Left Ministry, and you chose to leave the capital again. With such an excuse, you distanced your relationship with the fourth prince.

“If I’m not wrong, the most fundamental reason for your change in attitude is actually Suisui, right?!”

“Your Highness, don’t you think your speculation is too indecent?!” Pei Qian narrowed his eyes and looked up to meet Lu Ze’s scrutinizing gaze as he sneered.
