Chapter 605 The stupid fifth prince
However, Cui Mingchong failed to land safely in the end and became the first victim in this battle.

If it were her, she would definitely be deceived by the Eight Wise Kings after listening to his words and his attitude while drinking just now.

They may even think that someone deliberately put the blame on the Eight Wise Kings.

Ye Wanqing sighed: "Then what should we do next? Will my husband take this opportunity to report the princeling to the emperor?"

The couple discussed it last time and chose not to report to the emperor for the time being, in order to force the princeling to reveal their flaws.

This time the Eight Wise Kings were exposed, whether it was intentional or not, once Lin Yun reported it, it would definitely shock the government and the public and cause a storm.

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't say! The last time I met the emperor, I always felt that the emperor knew everything, but he pretended to know nothing! Let's wait a little longer!"

He couldn't guarantee whether it was a good thing for him to tell that thing and expose the Eight Wise Kings.

After all, this is an internal fight between clans, and if you make one wrong move, you may be doomed.

If it happens like last time and the emperor protects Fu Lin'an at the critical moment, then he will be used by the emperor again.

The Eight Wise Kings are much more difficult to deal with than Fulin'an, and I just learned that the Eight Wise Kings are Meng Yuan's son-in-law. The story behind this is intriguing.

Maybe Meng Yuan was also involved in Cui Mingchong's death.

"Hey! Okay! Sir, you should think carefully! Do you think there is another possibility that the Eight Wise Kings deliberately leaked themselves?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and rubbed his face vigorously.

"Forget it! My husband is already convinced! There is no need to go into details! Wanqing, my husband plans to leave for Fengyang County as soon as tomorrow morning! While I am not at home, you can go back to our dad's house side!"

Ye Wanqing's eyes lit up, she grabbed his hand and said, "I want to go too! My husband, I haven't been back for a long time! Just take him with you!"

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly: "Do you think I'm going back to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not! There is something wrong with the Lin family! My husband needs to go back to deal with it! You must be obedient! When you return this time, you will bring Wu Yue and Oona back together!"

Prince Xian's Mansion, Study Room.

The Eight Wise Kings sat in front of the desk, sipping tea with their heads down.

The fifth prince sat aside and said excitedly: "Old man, it has to be you! You actually arranged for someone to kill Cui Mingchong without saying a word! I have long been unhappy with that brat! What a pleasure!"

The Eighth Sage King said solemnly: "Fifth brother, can you restrain your temper when you face Lin Yun in the future?"

The fifth prince said displeased: "Okay! You don't need to teach me how to do things! Then Lin Yun is about to shit on my head! Does this king have to endure this humiliation?" After saying that, he sorted it out. The robe on his body continued: "I didn't take action directly just now, so I gave him face!"

A flash of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Eight Sage King, but it disappeared in an instant. He sighed: "Fifth brother, you should keep a low profile these days! Although Cui Mingchong is a small person, he is the one whom Lin Yun focuses on protecting. Based on my little brother’s understanding, he will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge..."

"Hmph, can he still kill me? I wouldn't dare even if I borrowed his courage!"

After all, the fifth prince is a member of the clan. Even if his relationship with the current emperor is not good, Lin Yun cannot be touched by a foreign minister.

If Lin Yun really does this, the emperor will definitely not let him go. This is related to the face and prestige of the clan. The Eight Wise Kings smiled contemptuously, took a sip of tea, and looked at him like he was an idiot.

At this time, the fifth prince said: "Old man, tell me the truth. Is this action your intention or the prince's?"

The Eight Wise Kings were playful: "Of course it's the prince. If he doesn't nod, how can I make such an arrangement?"

The fifth prince nodded: "Then you are not afraid that Lin Yun will find out about you?"

"He can't find it! The killer arranged by my younger brother is the garrison of Jiangxia County! He was just wiped out in Yun County outside the capital!"

The Eighth Sage King smiled proudly. How did he know that Lin Yun would mark the ammunition? He thought he did it without anyone noticing.

The fifth prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What about Meng Yuan? Your father-in-law is a bit dishonest. He is obviously the one who colluded with the prince to seduce the prince. Why do you leave all this dirty work and offending work to us?"

"Fifth brother, don't worry so much! We are all in the same boat. Are you still worried that Meng Zhongtang will harm you?"

"Huh, that's not the case! Old man, I'm not talking about you as a brother. After all, we are brothers. Our relationship should be closer than those of foreign ministers, right? If possible, I still think that this Meng Yuan should be eliminated as soon as possible. Good!”

The Eight Wise Kings looked at him meaningfully and sneered inwardly.

He knew the true intentions of his fifth brother without asking. He always felt that since he had no military power, there was nothing to worry about at the critical moment.

On the contrary, Meng Yuan has the best relationship with the prince and will pose the greatest threat in the future.

"That's enough!" The Eighth Sage King suddenly stood up and said displeasedly: "Meng Zhongtang is my father-in-law. Do you still want me to kill my brother?"

The fifth prince smiled sinisterly: "What's wrong? Don't forget that the fourth child did even more..."

The Eighth Sage King walked around the desk and came to the Fifth Prince. He looked face to face with him and said solemnly: "If something big happens in the future, will it be the fifth brother's world or the younger brother's?"

The Fifth Prince was obviously feeling guilty. He avoided his eyes and forced a smile: "Of course it's you, the eighth brother! In my life, I will not obey anyone but my eighth brother. If that day comes, I will definitely support you." ! I just hope that my eighth brother will be kind to me in the future! Don’t try to imitate the old brother by crossing the river and burning the bridge!”

The Eight Wise Kings nodded with a smile: "Hey, that's wrong! I think the fifth brother is the most suitable to rule the world! What's more, I also know myself. The fifth brother has a heavy army. Who in the world would dare to disobey an order in the future?"

The fifth prince was delighted: "Eighth brother really thinks so?"

"Of course! Although Meng Zhongtang did everything in the hope that my younger brother could rise to the top, I know how much I have. I just hope that the fifth brother can be merciful in the end and save the lives of my younger brother and his family!"

"Haha!" The fifth prince laughed to cover up his embarrassment. He was not stupid, so he naturally heard the mystery behind the eighth brother's words and said: "Okay, old eight, we are far from reaching that step yet! What happens in the future will still be Let’s talk about it later! It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now!”

After that, he turned and left.

The Eight Wise Kings looked at his leaving figure with a fierce look.

He has completely lost patience with this fifth brother. With the fifth prince's character, he will cause big trouble sooner or later, which will affect the overall plan and even implicate himself.

The Eight Wise Kings were very aware of Lin Yun's cunning, and even saw that Fifth Brother could not defeat Lin Yun.
