Chapter 1235 - 1241: Who is the Culprit?
"Ever since the Emperor turned forty, his health has declined," Qin Longyun analyzed. "Yet he has a strong fate; several times he faced deadly peril, but he survived each ordeal. Now, even Master Xiao cannot predict how much longer he will live. Moreover, with King Qin’s power growing day by day, the Emperor is definitely shaken."
Prince Liang, concerned about losing his power, made preparations, which was understandable.
Furthermore, King Qin uncovered evidence of corruption in the Empress’s Bloodline and suffered considerable loss due to the counterattack from Duo Meifang. This forced Prince Liang to urgently need a large amount of gold to fill the gaps, compelling him to dispatch more people to hasten the mining.
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips, "He’s too anxious. If he did nothing and merely relied on being the legitimate eldest son, his odds would be better than now."
"Duo’er, do you have any idea?"
Qiao Duo’er gestured for the others to gather close and whispered a few words; after hearing her out, everyone gave her a thumbs up.
"Indeed, no merchant without guile; Prince Liang truly has rotten luck to meet you."
"You lampoon me when you could be contacting King Qin. We alone can’t deal with Prince Liang," Qiao Duo’er kindly reminded.
