Chapter 243: Chapter 107: Journey to Yu State (28) The Angry Prince Dog_4
"I’ll seek out Gu Xingchuan alone," Xiao Jinxing decided resolutely.
Some matters, it is naturally better to discuss them earlier.
He can’t let a trace of personal feelings mess up his grand plans.
Ye Qichi isn’t that important yet.
"Alright," Bai Mowan nodded.
Xiao Jinxing stood up and returned to his own room.
He called his servant, "Go to the plague area and summon Gu Xingchuan to see this Prince."
"Replying to Your Highness, this morning, Young Master Gu and Miss Ye have already returned to Pang Mansion; according to the servants, both have already gone to sleep," reported the servant.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyebrows knitted slightly.
He didn’t expect Ye Qichi and Gu Xingchuan to have returned already.
His voice turned cold, "Where did Ye Qichi go to sleep?!"
This room was once also occupied by Ye Qichi.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Ye insisted on sleeping in a separate room, so the servants arranged a room for Miss Ye in the side court, which coincidentally is quite close to Young Master Gu’s," the servant answered honestly.
Xiao Jinxing’s face instantly turned grim.
The servant seemed to sense the Prince’s fury as well.
He quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Highness wishes to see Young Master Gu; this servant will immediately call Young Master Gu over."
"No need!" Xiao Jinxing said coldly, "When Gu Xingchuan wakes up, bring him to see this Prince."
"This servant will make the arrangements right away."
With that said, the servant left with a heart full of fear.
After the servant left,
Xiao Jinxing also walked out of the room.
Then, he went to the door of a room in the side court.
"May this Maid be graced by Your Highness," the Maid standing by the door hastily curtsied.
"Is Ye Qichi in this room?"
"Replying to Your Highness, Miss Ye is indeed in the room. She had just finished bathing and eating before going to sleep," the Maid hurriedly reported.
Xiao Jinxing reached out to push the door open,
paused for a moment, and then withdrew his hand. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
In his mind, he saw the image of Ye Qichi in the plague area, opening her eyes filled with red bloodshot lines.
He said, "When she awakens, have her come to my room to see this Prince."
"Yes."
Xiao Jinxing turned and left.
Carrying a sense of inexplicable oppression in his heart, he still departed!
...
In the residence of Prince Daxuan.
Xiao Jinsen flung the tea on the table all over the floor in a single motion.
Rage reached its zenith.
"Wasn’t it said that no medicinal materials could enter Yuzhou City? What’s the situation now?! And what is the meaning behind the message Xiao Jinxing sent to the emperor?!" Xiao Jinsen fiercely interrogated the people kneeling before him, "Can’t such a trivial matter be handled properly?!"
No one dared to speak.
All of them bowed their heads, enduring Xiao Jinsen’s anger.
"Who is in charge of the medicinal materials?!" Xiao Jinsen asked coldly.
A man kneeling on the ground trembled slightly but still mustered the courage to answer, "It is this subordinate!"
"Execute him!" Xiao Jinsen said cruelly.
"Your Highness, this subordinate indeed has been negligent, but there was no intention of wrongdoing. I beg Your Highness to be lenient, and from now on, I will reflect on my actions and never make the same mistake!" the man pleaded in fear.
"There is no next time! No one has the privilege to be given another chance by this Prince! Guards!" Xiao Jinsen’s face was cold-blooded, "Take him away and execute him at once!"
"Your Highness, this subordinate has loyally followed Your Highness for over ten years, watched Your Highness grow up, and for just one mistake, Your Highness would treat me so! Your Highness is cruel to those loyal to you; have you considered the hearts of the people?!" the man questioned loudly.
"Hearts of the people?!" Xiao Jinsen’s cold voice was filled with a bloodthirsty smile, "The precondition for caring about the hearts of the people is not to harbor useless individuals! Drag him away!"
Another order was given!
The guards promptly moved forward, dragging the man away.
The others kneeling did not dare to make any movements,
Fearing they would be implicated.
Only the man’s cries of despair resounded in the great hall, "Xiao Jinsen, even if you become the emperor with such methods, you will still not gain the people’s hearts, you will still be scorned by the world, and you will still fail to keep the lands of Daxuan..."
The voice finally disappeared.
Xiao Jinsen was utterly indifferent, "I do not wish to see his fate on any of you!"
"We will certainly not fail to live up to Your Highness’s expectations," all promptly pledged.
"All of you, out!" Xiao Jinsen snapped.
The others hastily got up, bowed, and retreated.
In the great hall, only the furiously enraged Xiao Jinsen and his staff Shi Yongcheng remained.
"Your Highness, Xiao Jinxing has fortunately established great merit in Yuzhou, allowing him to return in triumph will certainly be commended by the emperor. If the emperor looks upon Xiao Jinxing favorably, that poses a threat to Your Highness. Should we not..." Shi Yongcheng’s eyes turned cold, his meaning left unsaid.
Xiao Jinsen’s grip on the armrest tightened, barely containing his trembling.
He stated bluntly, "Killing him is easier said than done. Right now, the Bai Family’s army is in Yuzhou, and if things go as expected, the emperor will surely appoint Pang Nan, the current supporter, as the Military Governor. This means that the entire Yuzhou City is Xiao Jinxing’s territory."
The more he spoke, the angrier he got.
Without a doubt,
He had just lost control of a city.
One that was of utmost importance to him.
"But what about leaving Yuzhou City?" Shi Yongcheng queried.
Xiao Jinsen’s eyes paused slightly, then he said, "Last time, we failed to kill him as well."
Implying that they had a chance to kill Xiao Jinxing on the road last time too.
He simply couldn’t comprehend,
how Xiao Jinxing could have such a tenacious life!
A cripple, what skills does he truly possess!
"Last time, we underestimated him," Shi Yongcheng stated.
"This Prince is concerned that if we attempt assassination again and he catches leverage on us..."
"Your Highness, there is one person we can still use," Shi Yongcheng offered a strategy.
"Who?!" Xiao Jinsen asked coldly.
"The Ten Extremes Sect!"
