Chapter 929: Chapter 931: Mo Ziqi’s Promise (3)

Cai Wei pondered in her heart, would he succumb to Nangong Shi’s temptation? If he switched sides, what would Nangong Yi do?

No, she couldn’t allow him to switch sides, nor could she continue to let Nangong Shi do as he pleased...

"Brother Ying, you stay inside the palace to keep an eye on the prince. Report everything to me without missing a single word about whom he meets and what he says."

After giving her orders, Cai Wei emerged from the Space. She had to take care of her man’s affairs, but she couldn’t neglect her own home either. She wrapped a few leek boxes in corn leaves and delivered them to Lady Du’s room. Mother was pregnant, and eating cold things wasn’t good for the children.

Seeing the warm leek boxes she brought, Lady Du asked in surprise, "Where did these come from? Aren’t we not allowed to start fires during the day?"

Cai Wei replied unflinchingly, "I have my own people who brought them to me."

Lady Du was timid, and upon hearing that Cai Wei’s people were coming and going from this place, she worriedly said, "If your people are coming and going here, could it not expose us? If there’s danger, don’t let them come anymore, especially now that the weather is hot, eating something cool won’t hurt the stomach!"

"Mother, my people will definitely be fine, I know proper measure," Cai Wei said reassuringly, then called over Dad, Wen’er, and Wu’er to eat with Mother...

"Mmm, delicious, much better than the cold buns we had this morning!"

Wen’er and Wu’er ate with relish, the innocent children oblivious to what it meant to be fleeing hardship, still eating and drinking joyfully.

Cai Wei watched her family eat and drink with tenderness filling her heart. Then Brother Ying’s voice came through again.

"Master, I’ve heard it again. There’s a skinny, tall guy by the prince, who’s urging him to capture and execute King Qin during the Emperor’s funeral to prevent future troubles!"

They wanted to kill her man!

Cai Wei was furious.

Nangong Shi, that ungrateful and vicious patricide, was plotting to ambush and kill her man. How dare he!

"Brother Ying, come back," she said.

With a cold expression, Cai Wei suddenly had an idea. Since Brother Ying could kill Jin Guifei, it wouldn’t be a problem to kill a few more. She had always hated sly plots and schemes. Since the Prince and his military advisers liked playing dirty games, let them have their fill in the Underworld!

And Li Kaifeng—if he dared betray King Qin, Cai Wei wouldn’t mind using the same means she used on Jin Guifei on him too, sending him underground to cooperate with the prince.

A few minutes later, Brother Ying returned.

Cai Wei got a package of highly toxic poison from Old Turtle and instructed Brother Ying to carry it back to the palace and wait for a chance to poison Nangong Shi, taking out his cunning strategist in the process.

With the Emperor’s death, Nangong Shi as the prince surely had many things to attend to, hence, he had to be busy all over the palace. Just when he was outside, if Brother Ying flew over his head and sprinkled that packet of highly toxic poison on him, he would have no chance of survival!

With his death, all plots and cooperation would vanish, and the danger to Nangong Yi would naturally be lifted.

Thinking this, Cai Wei sent Brother Ying away...

In the East Palace, at the Crown Prince’s Mansion

Helan Xue was completely stunned when she got the news from the maid.

"Are you saying Nangong Yi is going to make a deal with Li Kaifeng, trading the Empress’s seat to win over Li Kaifeng?"

"That’s right, Empress. The Prince was discussing this very thing with General Li while Little Path was standing by and heard everything. Little Path said that though General Li didn’t agree immediately, he seemed to be tempted," the maid reported.
