Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2106: Leave It to Fate
These matters are all advantageous for Noble Consort Wang.
She has been competing with the Empress for so many years without a clear winner, and now Heaven has helped them, making both mother and son very happy.
"Fourth Imperial Brother, I heard there was a murder case in your mansion, causing panic among the people of the Capital."
He leaned in close to the Fourth Prince and said in a concerned tone, "A murder demon is no joke, Fourth Imperial Brother, you are frail, so you must be careful."
The schadenfreude expression of the Eldest Prince was seen by the Fourth Prince, who coldly said, "No need for Eldest Imperial Brother to worry, I am quite well."
"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing you like this, Eldest Imperial Brother feels heartache. You were once so charming and dashing, captivating so many noble ladies, but now you’ve become someone unrecognizable. Fourth Imperial Brother, do you know who you resemble now?"
"Who?" The Fourth Prince remained unmoved, letting the Eldest Prince scrutinize him.
"The War Prince, hahaha...!"
After speaking, the Eldest Prince left with his entourage.
The Fourth Prince watched his back with a sinister expression, thinking, damn Eldest Prince, don’t be so complacent, who will win or lose is still uncertain! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Residence of the Second Imperial Prince.
Early in the morning, the Second Prince returned with a dark face after visiting the Imperial Palace to pay respects to the Empress.
The steward approached and curiously asked, "Second Prince, didn’t you go to the Imperial Palace to pay respects to the Empress? Why are you back so soon?"
"Don’t mention it."
The Second Prince looked gloomy. Today, when he went to Fengyang Palace, he unexpectedly discovered that the Fourth Prince’s eyesight had recovered. What does this mean? It means he is about to fall out of favor with the Empress. Not to mention ascending to the position of Crown Prince, even his life could be in danger.
The Fourth Prince is so vengeful; if he becomes Crown Prince, will he leave him a way out?
The answer is definitely no, hence the Second Prince is currently in turmoil.
"What happened?" The steward, an old servant loyal to the Second Prince, saw his gloominess and asked.
The Second Prince glanced around; recently, many new faces had entered the residence, all arranged by the Empress under the guise of caring for him, but actually meant to monitor him. Raised in the Imperial Palace, having seen many intrigues, the Second Prince understood this.
He pulled the steward into the room, bolted the door, leaned against it to listen for a long time, and only when he was sure no one was eavesdropping, did he sit down on the bed.
Seeing the Second Prince’s furtive behavior, the steward grew concerned. Despite his royal background, the Second Prince was unfortunate, losing his Mother Consort at a young age. The steward, pained by his plight, took great care of him, and asked, "Second Prince, what exactly happened?"
The Second Prince recounted everything he saw at Fengyang Palace to the steward.
Hearing this, the steward was also heavy-hearted. The Second Prince’s luck was indeed poor; losing his Mother Consort young, he finally caught the Empress’s favor and was adopted into her household, bringing some ease. Now that the Fourth Prince has recovered, the Empress will certainly not support the Second Prince to become the Crown Prince.
After all, the Fourth Prince is her biological son; now that he’s back to normal and eligible for the throne, it’s only natural the Empress would abandon the Second Prince.
The steward worriedly asked, "Given the situation, Second Prince, what are your plans for the future?"
The Second Prince helplessly said, "What can I do, but leave it to fate!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door...
"Knock knock knock...!"
