The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The King of Wei looked at Zhao Yao carefully from head to toe several times. When he saw that Zhao Yao's complexion and energy were very good, he was completely relieved.

"Bago, I'm fine." Zhao Yao said, stood up, jumped off the bed, and jumped up and down in front of King Wei. "Myna, look at me, I'm not injured at all, I'm still alive and kicking."

King Wei grabbed Zhao Yao and asked him to sit back on the bed obediently.

"Okay, okay, Brother Bage knows you're okay."

"Brother Bage, you must have been worried during the time I was caught and disappeared." Zhao Yao thought to himself that the fourth brother was probably worried about him too.

King Wei reached out and poked Zhao Yao's forehead, "You also know that I am worried about you."

"Bago, I don't want you to worry, but I don't know why I was arrested." Mentioning this matter, Zhao Yao felt aggrieved, "I am an unpopular prince who has done nothing and has not offended anyone. Who are they? I don’t know why those people arrested me.”

King Wei had a lot to say to Zhao Yao, but it was already midnight, so it would be better to say it tomorrow.

"You continue to sleep well, we will talk tomorrow."

Zhao Yao also had a lot to say, but when he saw King Wei's face looking a little tired, he knew that Bago had come in a hurry.I'm afraid I didn't even get a good rest during this journey.

"Myna, please go and wash up quickly. We will sleep together later."

"Okay." King Wei reached out and touched Zhao Yao's head, and said warmly, "Don't wait for me, go to bed quickly."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep first." Zhao Yao lay down on the bed very obediently, then closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

King Wei couldn't help but smile when he saw his well-behaved appearance, and immediately withdrew.

Zhao Yao originally planned to wait for King Wei, but he was too sleepy and fell asleep soon.

When King Wei came back after washing up, he saw that Zhao Yao had fallen asleep, and he felt funny and relieved at the same time.He stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for Zhao Yao, then turned and left.

He didn't sleep with Zhao Yao because he was afraid that he would wake Zhao Yao up if he went to bed.Besides, he was not sleepy, and he still had something to ask Shopkeeper Fan.

Shopkeeper Fan had already been waiting for King Wei in another room.Seeing King Wei walk in, he immediately knelt heavily on the ground with a thud and kowtowed several times vigorously.

"A small crime deserves death, please punish me."

King Wei looked down at Shopkeeper Fan and said in a cold tone: "You will apologize."

Shopkeeper Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, had cold sweat covering his back and his forehead and face.His body trembled slightly, and his lips trembled as he spoke: "Little... little Wansi..."

King Wei walked aside and sat down. Shopkeeper Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately turned around and faced King Wei.

"If the tenth brother hadn't been smart this time, by the time you arrived, the tenth brother would have been dead." King Wei's words sounded neither salty nor light, but to Shopkeeper Fan's ears they were as terrifying as a reminder of death.

"Young one..." Shopkeeper Fan was so frightened that he was shaking violently. He didn't dare to defend himself and stammered, asking King Wei to deal with him. "You deserve to die, please punish me."

King Wei asked calmly: "How long has the tenth brother been imprisoned?"

Shopkeeper Fan said with a pale face: "Ten...ten...ten..." Zhao Yao was imprisoned for more than ten days.

"When did you find him?" King Wei said, his face suddenly darkened, and his whole body exuded a cold and sharp aura, "You guys really impressed me."

"Little one..." Shopkeeper Fan was so frightened that he almost fainted.

King Wei still had something to ask Shopkeeper Fan, so he did not punish him for the time being.

Shopkeeper Fan cautiously reported everything that happened during this period to King Wei.

When King Wei heard that Zhao Yao had guessed that the person who captured him was Li Jue, he was a little surprised, but at the same time he was a little proud.

The tenth brother is usually carefree and innocent, and he doesn't want to think too much about things.Unexpectedly, this time I came to Jinling, I became a lot smarter.

Shopkeeper Fan saw that after King Wei heard about Zhao Yao, his expression softened a little and the pressure on him became less intense.He quickly talked about some more things about Zhao Yao, such as what Zhao Yao did, what he ate, what he saw in the past few days... The most important thing was to emphasize that Zhao Yao had always missed King Wei.

Sure enough, after hearing this, King Wei's face looked better and he was not as angry as before.

"For the sake of taking good care of my tenth brother, I won't punish you severely for this incident."

Shopkeeper Fan was ecstatic when he heard what King Wei said.He quickly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"After this matter is over, you can go to the northwest to receive my punishment."

Although the northwest is very difficult, it is better than death.Shopkeeper Fan was grateful to King Wei. "Where are Li Jue and the others?"

"Reply to the prince..." Shopkeeper Fan reported to King Wei in detail the movements of the Li family and the Fang family in the past few days.

After hearing this, King Wei had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Shopkeeper Fan asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, are we going to take action against Li Jue and the others next?"

King Wei gently turned the ring on the index finger of his left hand with his right hand, and said in a nonchalant tone: "It will be easier for them to kill them now."

"My lord, do you mean to let them go for now?"

"Don't hold them still for now, and then take action when the time is right." King Wei raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "They captured the tenth brother, fed the tenth brother poison, and made the tenth brother sink into the river to feed the fish, killing them happily , it is mercy to them, I will make their life worse than death."

Shopkeeper Fan felt his scalp numb and frightened.

"What the lord said is."

"How is it over there in Runzhou Mansion?"

"Everything is under control..." Next, Shopkeeper Fan not only reported in detail the situation in Runzhou Prefecture, but also talked about the affairs of Suzhou Prefecture.

King Wei wanted to rush back to the official ship before dawn. After listening to Shopkeeper Fan's report, he quickly left by ship.Before leaving, he repeatedly told Shopkeeper Fan to take good care of Zhao Yao.

When Zhao Yao woke up, King Wei had returned to the official ship safely and smoothly.

"Myna's gone, when did he leave?" Myna won't rush back to the official ship overnight, right?

"The prince left before dawn."

"What, didn't Bage stay up all night last night?" Zhao Yao felt a little sorry for King Wei, "Did Bage come here specially to see me last night?"

Shopkeeper Fan didn't sleep all night last night, and his face looked very haggard.

"The prince has been worried about you, so he came to see you quietly last night." Shopkeeper Fan explained to King Wei, "The prince will be very busy after arriving in Jinling, and he will be accompanied by the prince's people, so it is not convenient for him to come to see you. , I could only come to see you last night.”

"I'm fine. Brother Bago doesn't need to come specially to see me."

"Your Highness, the prince didn't come to Jinling originally. Because you were in Jinling, he specifically asked the prince to come to Jinling. On the surface, he was here to assist King Jing." Shopkeeper Fan said again, "Just now, King Jing has already Arrive at Jinling."

"Seventh brother is here, what is he here for?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "He is here to preside over the imperial examination in Jinling?"

"Yes, the emperor ordered King Jing to serve as the examiner and be responsible for presiding over the imperial examination in Jinling."

"You really want Seventh Brother to preside over it?" My father is still as sinister as ever. He asked Seventh Brother to come to Jinling to preside over the imperial examination. Isn't this just asking Seventh Brother to follow the prince?However, with the methods of the prince and the Duke of Zhen, Brother Qi may not be able to do anything.However, with Brother Qi's temperament, it is very likely that there will be a big fuss when the time comes.

"Your Highness, before the prince leaves, he asked me to tell you that he will be very busy during this period and will not have time to visit you. Please wait here for him." Shopkeeper Fan conveyed the message from King Wei to Zhao Yao word for word. "The prince asked you not to worry about him."

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait here obediently for myna."

At this time, King Chu, who was far away in Pengcheng, received a reply from King Wei and learned that Zhao Yao was fine. His heart that had been hanging around for a while was finally settled.

Wei Mian saw that King Chu's brows suddenly relaxed, and his stern face softened. He guessed something in his heart, and his face was filled with joy: "Your Highness, is the Tenth Highness okay?"

King Chu nodded slightly and said, "The tenth brother is fine. Lao Ba's people rescued him and hid him well."

"It's great, it's really great." During this period, Wei Mian had been thinking about Zhao Yao's safety. "Your Majesty, my servant said that His Highness Huiji has his own destiny."

King Chu smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Tenth is fine. You can finally investigate the matter in Pengcheng with peace of mind." For a day without knowing the safety of His Highness Tenth, the Prince's heart would not be at peace, and he could not concentrate on investigating the matter of stealing copper.

"Yeah." Finish investigating the copper theft as soon as possible and take the tenth brother back to Beijing as soon as possible.Although Lao Ba's people will protect the tenth brother, it is still not safe for the tenth brother to stay in Aurous Hill for a long time.

Thinking that the prince actually sent someone to arrest Zhao Yao, a cold look flashed in King Chu's eyes.

The tenth brother is innocent, but the prince actually involves the tenth brother and murders the tenth brother. Such a prince is not worthy of being the heir apparent.

He will investigate Pengcheng's stealing of copper carefully and will never let the prince have an easy time.
