I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

The prince sat there calmly, eating grapes leisurely.

Seeing that he was so calm and composed, Zhang Lai was very confused and puzzled.

"Your Highness, aren't you worried? Wang Hu has a deep misunderstanding of your Highness. Coupled with the instigation of the prince's uncle, he will definitely not forget everything so easily. He may even have hatred in his heart!"

Glancing at him, the prince spoke slowly.

"This is normal. He hates because he can't accept such a result. But if he knew that this was all a scam, it would be different!"

"Wang Hu, like you, grew up with me. Even if he is deceived, I believe he knows what kind of person I am and will not be easily deceived!"

In addition, one of the main reasons why the prince was so confident was that he met Wang Hu and said those words in person.

No matter what Wang Hu was thinking, he had already said what he needed to say very clearly.

Plus, Wang Hu is a smart man, so he will definitely be able to figure out what is going on and will not be deceived forever!
After learning of his thoughts, Zhang Lai nodded thoughtfully.

"So this is the main reason why His Highness is so anxious to meet Wang Hu. I hope he can figure it out. But I'm a little worried. After so long, he might have been influenced by the King's Uncle!"

The prince didn't say anything, he had his own considerations in mind.

If he doesn't have this little confidence, then where does he get the confidence as the crown prince to ascend the throne of the emperor?
Ever since the prince came to see him, Wang Hu's whole state has become a little different.

He did not lock himself in the house all the time, but would walk into the yard from time to time to stay for a while, calming down and thinking about whether what the prince said was true or false.

He wanted to believe it, but when he thought about what happened before, he couldn't forget it.

But he was also worried that perhaps, as the prince said, all of this was a conspiracy set up by the king's uncle.

At that time, the prince was paralyzed all over and could not move at all. Many things were done by his uncle personally, and even many decisions were conveyed by his uncle.

In this way, it is not impossible for him to do whatever he wants, and it is also completely possible for him to pretend to obey while secretly disobeying.

Just as he was thinking this, a voice came.

"What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought that it's not easy for you to come out of the house on your own initiative!"

Wang Hu looked in the direction of the voice and saw the king's uncle walking towards him with a smile on his face.

After seeing him coming, Wang Hu took the initiative to speak.

"I just remembered what happened before. I have never understood why the prince treated me like that. I am so loyal to him, can't he see it?"

Hearing this, the prince's smile froze on his face.

He didn't expect that even after so much time had passed, Wang Hu still hadn't forgotten it and was still brooding over it.

Soon, the uncle's expression eased.

He smiled and shook his head, explaining.

"Don't think too much. I've told you before that the prince is paralyzed and mentally twisted, so he naturally can't stand seeing others do better than he already does!"

"Plus, you two have known each other since childhood. Seeing you so comfortable, he naturally feels uncomfortable and wants to make you suffer. Otherwise, why would he do such a thing?"

Wang Hu said nothing more and fell into silence.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked.

"Then the prince's condition is even more serious now? I guess many people around him have met with accidents. What about Zhang Lai? We grew up together. Has he met with an accident too?" The prince's uncle sighed and nodded.

"Yes, Zhang Lai also got into trouble and almost died, but I found a way to save him."

Originally, Zhang Hu had no doubt about what the king's uncle said, but after hearing this, he realized that something seemed to be wrong.

He saw the Crown Prince and Zhang Lai coming together. If it was really as the King's uncle said, why would the Crown Prince bring Zhang Lai with him? There must be something wrong!
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, the prince asked tentatively.

"Why are you asking these questions? Is there something wrong?"

When asked, Wang Hu shook his head and showed no intention of telling the truth.

"It's okay, I'm just a little curious. I was thinking that the prince is still paralyzed, but he still hasn't given up the idea of ​​becoming emperor. It's also something to think about. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of any emperor in any country doing this."

Hearing him say this, the prince didn't think much about it, nodded and responded.

"That's right, but he is the prince. If he insists on doing this, what can we do?"

Wang Hu didn't say anything, but he had some ideas in his mind.

After the prince's uncle left, he quietly left the prince's mansion at night.

Now he has reached the realm of a land immortal, and it is not difficult for him to leave under the surveillance of these people.

In recent days, the prince has not rested, but has been waiting for Wang Hu to come to him.

He thought that they had grown up together and had some understanding of each other. It was impossible for Wang Hu to completely distrust him. Even if he was suspicious, there would definitely still be some trust in him.

After hearing the sound outside the door, the prince put down the brush in his hand and looked towards the door.

The door didn't open, but a figure came in.

When the prince saw that it was Wang Hu, a smile appeared on his face and he took the initiative to speak.

"I know you will definitely come to find me. Although we are kings and subjects, we grew up together. I believe you should know me relatively well and will not completely believe those words!"

Wang Hu had no expression on his face and his emotions could not be seen.

He looked at the prince and asked softly.

"I just want to know what happened that time. You sent us to investigate Zhu Feng's whereabouts, so how come we were attacked halfway? Doesn't this incident have anything to do with you?"

Hearing this, the prince explained patiently.

"Why would I do such a thing out of the blue? Besides, given my situation at the time, what reason did I have to do that?"

Wang Hu didn't believe his explanation.

"If you do this for a long time, your mind will become sick, and you will want everyone to be in the same situation as you, so that you can feel better."

"It's precisely because we grew up together that you can't bear to see me being so comfortable while you are forced to stay in bed!"

The prince took a deep breath. He understood that it was not Wang Hu’s fault. It was the king’s uncle who brainwashed him and that was why he had such thoughts.

Seeing this, he began to explain.

"If I really had such thoughts, why do you think Zhang Lai is fine? Why has he been safe and sound for such a long time? Don't you find it strange?" (End of this chapter)
