Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 188 Cooperation

"Eunuch Hu, it's useless even if you look after Third Brother. You don't understand medicine."

What's more, he was the one who stabbed the victim with his own hands. It has been so long and the doctor has not come yet. Pei Yunzhao may not survive.

Although Pei Yunqing had no intention of killing him, the sword's deviation caused a fatal wound.

Pei Yunzhao was bleeding all over the floor. Even though no one touched him, no one was there to stop the bleeding.

Pei Yunzhao is doomed.

Although Pei Yunqing was extremely panicked when he killed someone, he felt unexpectedly relaxed at this moment.

It turns out that killing is nothing special, there's nothing to feel bad about.

Hu Dequan couldn't bear to hear Pei Yunqing say such sarcastic words, but Pei Yunqing was a prince after all, and he couldn't scold him, so he wiped his tears and cried.

"Fifth Prince, when I left the palace, His Majesty repeatedly instructed me to take good care of you and bring you back to the Imperial City in good health. Now that the Third Prince has become like this, how can I explain this to His Majesty?"

Hu Dequan really couldn't explain. He was alive and well, but Pei Yunzhao lost his life. Even though he was eloquent, he couldn't convince the suspicious emperor.

He looked at Pei Yunqing with tears in his eyes, his voice filled with despair.

However, Pei Yunqing could not understand his feelings and was only thinking that Pei Yunzhao must not come back to life.

"Okay, stop crying. What's the point? The most urgent thing now is to solve the problem at hand."

Pei Yunqing's tone was impatient. He had already realized that Hu Dequan didn't want to work with him at all.

This old guy wasn't crying for Pei Yunzhao, he was crying for himself.

Hu Dequan's crying stopped abruptly. He seemed to have not expected Pei Yunqing to have such an attitude, so he was shocked.

"Fifth Prince, you..."

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Pei Yunqing had regained his composure. He glanced at him and said calmly, "There's no point in crying. It's already happened. You've caused your father to blame you. You should think carefully about how to deal with this matter."

Hu Dequan is not a brainless person, he believes that Hu Dequan knows how to choose.

It was just as he thought. Hu Dequan didn't know how to choose, he just wanted to avoid making a choice.

"Fifth Prince, I am but a servant, doing what I am told. Now that such a serious matter has occurred, how dare I confront Your Majesty?"

Hu Dequan is an old and experienced man. He would never leave any room for gossip.

"Besides, I feel that the most important thing right now is to do my best to save His Highness the Third Prince."

Hu Dequan became more and more anxious. Why did it take so long to see a doctor?

Pei Yunqing sneered. What’s the point even if he saved Pei Yunzhao?

Hu Dequan arrived so late that even if Pei Yunzhao was rescued, he would not remember his kindness.

"Anyway, I've already made it clear to you. If you insist on this, I can't do anything about it. But I think you've already guessed what happened today. Even if you rescue him, what will happen? Will the emperor let you go, or will he let you go? Eunuch Hu, this is the result of your indulgence, so you have no choice but to help me."

Pei Yunqing smiled with his eyes curved, he really didn't seem to care that he had killed his brother with his own hands.

This made Hu Dequan feel that the Fifth Prince in front of him was a little unfamiliar.

At this moment, he was also glad that the people he brought today were all his confidants, and there were no people arranged by Prince Su to act together.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince is right. I have no other choice, but how can you guarantee that if I cooperate with you, I can save my life?"

What Hu Dequan said was not to help him, but to cooperate.

He knew very well that once he boarded Pei Yunqing's pirate ship, there would be no turning back.

"Eunuch Hu, I can't make any promises, but you don't have any other choice, do you?"

Pei Yunqing smiled, his tone firm.

"Besides, if you don't tell me, who will know how Third Brother died?"

As for the group of people outside, in his eyes, they were nothing to worry about.

Now that we have killed a prince, what's the harm in killing a group of guards?

As long as Hood nodded, these problems would no longer be a problem.

"I'll have to think about it."

Hu Dequan is a cautious person and he doesn't dare to make a decision now.

What if the Third Prince can still be saved?

If he is really asked to watch someone die without helping, that is of course possible, but he must have the confidence to do so.

"Tsk, what do you have to think about? Things have come to this point. Do I still need to plot against you?"

Pei Yunqing really couldn't understand why this man became so timid as he got older?

No matter what Pei Yunqing said, Hu Dequan did not agree immediately.

It was not until the doctor came to examine him and confirmed that Pei Yunzhao had no chance of survival that he reached a cooperation with Pei Yunqing.

And none of the people who followed him today left alive.

Hu Dequan announced to the public that a gangster had kidnapped the third prince and was determined to kill him when he was desperate. He and the fifth prince tried their best to rescue the third prince, but ultimately failed.

Such words naturally fell into Pei Xu's ears.

"Your Majesty, do you believe their lies?"

Gu Jiaorong asked with a smile, holding a cup of hot tea.

They all knew in their hearts that this was not the case.

Hu Dequan's words may fool others, but they can never be fooled.

However, Pei Xu did not expose their plan.

At least not now.

"What does it matter whether you believe it or not? The Third Prince is already dead anyway."

Pei Xu curled the corners of his lips, his goal had been achieved.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Jiaorong didn't ask any further questions. She just sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would actually be so cruel as to do this to him. After all, he is still his brother."

But if you think about it, this isn't surprising.

Anyone who can sit in that position is a ruthless person.

The lofty throne was actually made of bones.

"The struggle for the throne is so cruel. If he doesn't kill others, others will come to kill him."

Pei Xu's eyelids drooped. Even a man like his father eventually died under the imperial power.

"Your Highness is right. I thought it was too simple."

Gu Jiaorong sighed. She was suddenly glad that she did not enter the palace. Otherwise, if she had been so cautious, she would probably have lost her life long ago.

"I don't blame you, it's just that I asked Fu'an to monitor the whole thing, so I know everything."

Pei Xu smiled faintly, but did not tell Gu Jiaorong that he was also responsible for Pei Yunzhao's death.

He had already made up his mind to let Pei Yunzhao leave Jinzhou City lying down.

Especially when Pei Yunqing arrived, he became even more certain that Pei Yunzhao would not be able to return alive, so he made many plans.

But I also have to thank Hu Dequan. I became more cautious after I got older, so I really asked him for help.

It was easy to guess what the old eunuch was thinking. He would soon be returning to his hometown to retire, so he became more cautious and careful in his actions, unwilling to make a single wrong move. However, the more careful one is, the more likely one is to make mistakes.
