Chapter 1876: Guilty Prince Ping
“Master, mission failed! The leader was caught by Lin Yuelan on the spot!”
In the manor of the eldest grandprince, a black-robed man reported to Yuwen Xuhong with an emotionless voice.
Bang!
Yuwen Xuhong was so angry that he flipped the table over. The fragments of the teapot and teacup blossomed all over the ground, creating a mess.
“Bastard!”
He didn’t know if he was cursing because he was useless or because he was targeting Lin Yuelan.
The kneeling subordinate didn’t utter a word, only quietly waiting for his master’s order.
Yuwen Xuhong was trying to calm down his anger and not lose his mind.
If he didn’t calm down now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He took a few deep breaths and rubbed his hands together. He looked anxious and nervous. After a while, his mind calmed down.
He flung his sleeves and quickly returned to the study. He quickly returned to the small courtyard in the suburbs through the secret passage.
The masked Yama Pavilion Master stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
The moment Yuwen Xuhong entered the Yama Pavilion, he angrily questioned,” What’s wrong with you? Why did he leave such a big flaw in the jade pendant? Now, he had been exposed! This prince is telling you after this matter is exposed, the entire Yama Pavilion that will be implicated. Yama Pavilion, just wait to be exterminated!”
If it weren’t for the clues left behind by this person, no matter how good Second Brother Hu’s memory and drawing skills were, even if he drew the jade pendant, it would only make people think that the current Emperor might have used the five brothers of the Hu family to frame Princess Gu.
As long as one was in the government, one could tell at a glance that this was the prelude to the Emperor’s plan to make a move on Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan.
As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and a high achievement shocks the master!
No matter how broad-minded, magnanimous, and tolerant he was, he could not tolerate the existence of a person who threatened his seat and the Yuwen family.
After all, after Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan got married, they would have military power and wealth. Coupled with their outstanding contributions and prestige in the hearts of the people, they would be able to overturn the Yuwen family’s power.
Therefore, even if the five Hu brothers had really wronged Lin Yuelan, the truth would still come true.
In this way, not only did he cut off the Crown Prince’s left and right arms, even if the Crown Prince was not implicated by Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, but there was a deep gap between him and the Emperor.
Yuwen Yanyu’s position as Crown Prince would be abolished sooner or later, and the Crown Prince’s position would definitely fall into his hands.
However, all of this was ruined by the jade pendant.
The Yama Pavilion Master wore a mask, revealing his lips. His lips curled up slightly, and it was obvious that there was a trace of mockery and contempt. He turned around and faced Yuwen Xuhong’s question. He said in an overbearing manner,” Your Highness, how can you say that? You didn’t give me the jade pendant; it’s just a drawing. My sculptor followed the drawing and carved it!”
Yuwen Xuhong said angrily,” The blueprint I gave you clearly has no cracks!”
It even left such obvious marks!
He was not that stupid!
It was obvious that the jade pendant representing Imperial Entertainment’s identity could not be flawed!
Therefore, all he could think of was that he had been tricked by the Yama Pavilion Master.
Moreover, if this pit was not handled properly, they would never be able to climb up again and could only be buried in the pit.
“Cracks? What cracks?” The Yama Pavilion Master was puzzled at first, but he seemed to have thought of something. His masked face darkened, and he asked sharply,” Oh, Your Highness, what do you mean? Could it be that you’re implying that I faked it and deliberately left clues behind?”
Yuwen Xuhong pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. He only stared at the pavilion master with his angry and sharp eyes. It was obvious that this was what he meant.
When the Yama Pavilion Master saw this, he was not angry but laughed instead. He snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, since His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, suspects me so much, then our cooperation will end here. From now on, we will walk our separate paths!”
Yuwen Xuhong’s expression changed when he heard that. He then said sternly,” Pavilion Master, things have already reached this stage. Do you think you can just walk away if you want to?”
Pavilion Master frowned slightly and asked coldly,” What do you mean?”
