Chapter 159 After His Highness the Crown Prince was reborn, he merged with the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister set off for his next destination.
Then they encountered a group of "robbers".
Without saying a word, the robbers immediately started fighting with real weapons.
The two sides quickly clashed.
The prime minister, feeling extremely itchy, abandoned his horseback riding and opted for a sedan chair instead.
Moreover, my thighs are covered in red rashes, which would definitely chafe if I rode a horse.
The scratches on my arm from last night are now oozing pus.
Although I tried my best to control myself last night and even wrapped my fingers to avoid scratching, there were still some broken skin on my body.
You can't scratch with your hands, but you can scratch with your feet; even your back has its own ideas.
I was so tormented last night that I barely slept a wink.
They would drag the prefect's corpse out and whip it to distract themselves and feel better.
Having given up on the doctors here, the Prime Minister planned to go to the next place and ask his own people for a doctor.
They even encountered bandits, which greatly annoyed the prime minister.
Anyone who disturbs his journey deserves to die.
The order was given: kill them all, leave no one alive.
The prime minister remained seated in the sedan chair and did not leave.
They're just bandits; the guards he brought can definitely handle them.
They were calculating which people belonged to the emperor, and those people would simply be beheaded.
Those who remain neutral can be kept if they know what's good for them.
If they remain stubborn, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
The Prime Minister no longer intends to proceed slowly; sometimes, swift and decisive measures are just as effective.
The people sent by the prefect were already the most capable ones they could find, but the people brought by the prime minister were no less formidable.
In the end, the bandits were all wiped out.
However, the people brought by the Prime Minister also suffered heavy losses, with many of them seriously injured.
However, the prime minister had no intention of resting. Seeing that the bandits had been eliminated, he continued on his way.
He couldn't stand it anymore; the itching was unbearable.
They even wanted to peel off the skin completely.
The Emperor received the message.
Upon seeing the memorial sent back by the Prime Minister, the Emperor trembled with anger.
The Prime Minister has some nerve; he actually dared to act first and report later.
They killed his men on the spot.
He had already given instructions to the prefect, but he didn't know what precautions to take, nor did he know if the prefect had made any additional arrangements.
Is he really going to die so easily?
The emperor then quickly sent a message to the people in the next place.
This time, we must strike first.
He made his move the moment he saw the prime minister.
Don't wait any longer, it's either you or me who lives.
The prime minister hasn't gone far, yet he dares to be so arrogant.
One can imagine how the Prime Minister would behave in a place far from the capital.
They might just replace the person directly, and the emperor wouldn't even know.
Upon arriving at the destination, the prime minister immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor.
When the doctor arrived, some of them guessed that it was poisoning.
But they didn't know what kind of poison it was or how to detoxify it.
The prime minister was furious when he heard the result.
They actually poisoned him.
What a fine prefect! What a fine emperor!
The Prime Minister has already found the secret letter sent by the Emperor in the Prefect's study.
The emperor wanted to get rid of him.
The emperor trusted him so much before, but now he wants to get rid of him.
The prime minister could only think of one reason why the emperor would do this: His Highness the Crown Prince.
Your Highness, so you hate me that much that you never want to see me again in this lifetime.
They even gave me this excruciating poison, torturing me like this.
Your Highness, if you want to hate, then hate.
No one can stop him from doing what he's set out to do.
Once he rebels, he wouldn't mind locking His Highness the Crown Prince on that throne.
But no matter how angry he got, he couldn't relieve the itch.
They could only continue their journey while searching for a doctor who could cure the poison.
Along the way, the Prime Minister's symptoms became more and more severe.
Even though he tried his best to control himself from scratching, and even tied his hands up.
However, these rashes are very fragile and began to break open when rubbed against clothing.
One by one, the red rashes on my body began to ooze pus and rot.
The sedan chair was filled with a rotten stench.
The prime minister's body was completely wrapped in bandages.
The pain now far outweighs the itching.
However, the Prime Minister's condition was very poor.
The doctor couldn't detoxify him and could only relieve his symptoms with medication.
The Emperor summoned the Crown Prince to his study.
Since the Prime Minister left, the Emperor has kept the Crown Prince in the palace.
As soon as the Crown Prince entered the study, the Emperor's teacup was smashed.
The prince quickly jumped aside, dodging the teacup.
"Father, who made you angry? Why are you so furious?"
His Highness the Crown Prince was completely unconcerned about his father's anger.
Whether in his past life or this life, his father has always been very good to him and has always doted on him.
He couldn't be sure whether the prime minister liked or hated him throughout his life, but he was certain that his father had always loved him.
She will spoil him unconditionally.
The Crown Prince wasn't worried when he saw the Emperor was angry, since it wasn't the Emperor who was angry.
The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince, unsure whether the Crown Prince was genuinely feigning ignorance or being manipulated by the Prime Minister.
He really couldn't tell at all.
"Your Highness, take a look at this."
The Emperor showed the memorial that the Prime Minister had sent to the Crown Prince.
When the Crown Prince saw that his father had asked him to look at the memorials, he felt a terrible headache.
He hates looking at this stuff the most.
After reading it, his father would ask him for his insights.
He hates using his brain.
Sigh, his father treats him very well in every way, but it's very difficult for him to learn how to conduct himself in society.
Father already has children, why don't you give him up?
Perhaps because the child hadn't been born yet, the emperor didn't know if it was a prince or a princess, so he could only continue to hold onto the child.
He'll be free once the baby is born.
Although he didn't know whether the concubines in the palace would give birth to princes or princesses, he knew for sure that the Crown Princess would give birth to a grandson of the emperor.
His Highness the Crown Prince resignedly took the memorial.
Did the Prime Minister write this?
The prime minister has only been gone for two days, hasn't he?
You've only just left the capital, and you've already taken care of things?
This prefect actually forcibly abducted a woman; he deserves to die!
The prime minister beheaded the prefect?
Is the prime minister really that cruel?
Has this matter been thoroughly investigated? Was it just cut off like that?
Shouldn't the Ministry of Justice thoroughly investigate this before drawing any conclusions?
Can the prime minister execute first and report later?
What an imposing official attitude!
Could the prime minister also execute him first and then report to the emperor?
I feel like the prime minister is really capable of doing something like this.
Father Emperor must be angry about this, right?
Not to mention his father, he was angry too.
I was both angry and scared.
"Father, the Prime Minister acted first and reported later; he must be severely punished."
If the prime minister continues like this, wouldn't it become a one-man show by the prime minister?
Whether the charge is true or false, the person is dead. Even if it's false, what can be done?
What His Highness the Crown Prince fears most is that the Prime Minister will simply behead him and then fabricate a charge against him to report to the Emperor.
He's already dead, so what can the Emperor do even if he's furious?
Even if you kill the prime minister, he won't survive.
"Your Highness, what do you suggest we do? A general in the field may disobey orders, and since the Prime Minister is currently in the field, he can also disregard my decrees."
“Father, I will go myself.”
Instead of worrying that the prime minister would behead him.
Why not kill the prime minister first, then we won't have to live in fear anymore?
