Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041 Condolences

The Prime Minister had hoped that after venting for some time, he would calm down and not make any more trouble.

However, on the day following the Young Master’s death, rumors were rife in every street and alley of the Capital; they were saying that the incident was the doing of the Fourth Prince.

Now, with his own Imperial Son implicated, The Emperor could no longer sit idly by; he immediately sent Eunuch Zhang to the fourth prince’s mansion to summon the Fourth Prince for questioning about what exactly had happened.

When the Fourth Prince was brought by Eunuch Zhang, he too was utterly confused; he didn’t even know about the disaster the dwarf had brought upon him!

Learning of his maternal grandfather’s only son’s death, the prince was deeply moved. What is not meant to belong to you will not stay, no matter how hard you try to cling onto it. Now, at least, the Empress Mother had no need to worry about her own mother’s status in the Prime Minister’s Mansion any longer.

After much anguish, the Fourth Prince intended to visit the Prime Minister’s Mansion with his guard and pay his condolences to his short-lived uncle.

It was at that moment that Eunuch Zhang arrived, dusty and exhausted from the journey.

"Fourth Prince, The Emperor summons you." As soon as Eunuch Zhang entered the door and caught sight of the Fourth Prince, he called out in a high-pitched voice.

The Fourth Prince, ready to leave, paused and turned his head towards Eunuch Zhang, "Eunuch Zhang, what brings you here?"

"Good grief! Don’t ask - The Emperor summons you, come with me quickly."

"My uncle has passed away, and I was about to visit the Prime Minister’s Mansion!" After all, having a grandfather as the Prime Minister was of great help in the battle for succession; at such a critical moment, he must show his concern.

"Good grief! You still dare go now with things so tense?" Eunuch Zhang expressed great admiration for the Fourth Prince’s courage.

Indeed, the son the Prime Minister had yearned for over decades, died because of someone brought by the Fourth Prince.

Though not the direct culprit, the Fourth Prince was an indirect assassin. Instead of retreating, he was pushing forward; wasn’t this asking for death? In these past days, the enraged Prime Minister would not give consideration even if he were dealing with his own grandson!

Otherwise, The Emperor wouldn’t have intervened, inviting the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Palace in the hope of mediating the rift between him and the Prime Minister.

"What’s there not to dare? A tragedy happened at my grandfather’s home; as his grandson, is it not quite normal for me to offer my condolences?" The Fourth Prince listened, perplexed and confused.

"Indeed, it’s normal, very normal, but The Emperor’s summons is of greater urgency. Come, let’s proceed to the palace quickly; The Emperor is waiting anxiously!" Eunuch Zhang didn’t wish to explain much and tugged at the Fourth Prince to leave.

"Eunuch Zhang, even if I am to go, let me change my clothes first." The Fourth Prince was dressed in black, ready to mourn at the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

"The attire you are wearing is fine, The Emperor won’t mind; let’s not change, hurry on."

Eunuch Zhang forcibly dragged the Fourth Prince onto the carriage.

The Fourth Prince, known for his meticulous mind, sensed Eunuch Zhang’s unusual behavior today.

So, the moment he sat down in the carriage, he started to probe Eunuch Zhang, "Eunuch Zhang, what urgent matter does imperial father have with me?"

"This... this... I shouldn’t say, you should ask The Emperor." Having spent much time beside The Emperor, Eunuch Zhang was also a seasoned character from the Itinerant World, stubbornly refusing to leak a word.

"Could it be related to the incident at my grandfather’s house?"

After much thought, the biggest event in the Capital these days was the death of his grandfather’s Young Master, and the Prime Minister, in a fit of rage, had his guards killing throughout the Capital, leaving the Capital City People in a state of panic.

"That’s what you say, not me."

With this statement, Eunuch Zhang effectively confirmed that the Fourth Prince’s guess was correct.
