Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 998

Tan Lu bowed his head and saluted, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, I have no such intention. It's just..."

"Don't just say that." Booth was annoyed, "You just need to remember that no matter whose father-in-law you are, you have no right to lecture me."

He had traveled all over the world, but where had he ever suffered such humiliation? No girl he liked could escape, and no one he wanted to beat could escape...except Yata. This made him even angrier, and he disliked Tanlu even more.

If the anger he received today was left overnight, would it still be his style? He didn't believe that he couldn't deal with a few women from the Fu family.

A minister who came with them didn't dare to offend either side. Seeing that the two were silent, he finally stepped forward and said, "I think that the Emperor Mingde today is no longer the strict emperor in his early years. He is very cunning now. Since he dares to humiliate our Wan country in public, he must have made all preparations."

Neither Tanlu nor Booth responded, seeming to be pondering the possibilities of his words.

The minister added, "Normally, it is unlikely that such things as conferring titles and appointing officials would be carried out in front of the delegation. Emperor Mingde did this deliberately. He must have laid a net long ago, waiting for us to fall into it."

After Tan Lujing's analysis, his face turned very ugly. Under normal circumstances, he would have thought of this.

But today I was really angry.

Not only was he angry at Bei Yi, he was also angry at his own people. Tan Lu immediately sent someone to notify the assassins in a special way to stop the mission and quickly withdraw from the Shangshu Mansion.

Booth returned to his room gloomily. He didn't believe that Beiyi was so powerful that he could resist the assassination of Wanguo's assassins.

You should know that the assassins he sent out were all the secret guards who usually protected him.

Even if Emperor Mingde made arrangements, how many people could withstand the sneak attack of the secret guards?

However, this time, the Wan people suffered a setback again.

Until dawn, the people sent by Booth and Tanlu had not returned and there was no news.

Even the second group of people sent by Tanlu to withdraw the first group of people also fell into oblivion and there was no news of them.

The people of Wan did not sleep all night.

The people of Liang also stayed awake all night.

Ambassador Wu Xianwen of the State of Liang was tossing and turning until his colleague Wang Yi knocked on his door. The two of them talked by candlelight at night.

Wu Xianwen asked, "Don't you think so?"

Wang Yi said, "Not only do they look alike, they even have the same name. I heard his name is Chen Yuan, but the characters are different. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

Wu Xianwen fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he said, "I always suspected that the person who died was... the fourth prince Cen Mian."

"Is there any solid evidence?" Wang Yi didn't even notice that his teeth were chattering when he spoke.

Wu Xianwen smiled bitterly, "How could I have any evidence? It's nothing more than... I'm more familiar with them than anyone else. And they were naughty back then, often swapping clothes, and I caught them. Every time, Cen Mian... back then he was called Qin Mian, insisted that he was the Emperor Heng. I couldn't do anything to them, so I just let them do what they wanted and didn't tell anyone else."

Wu Xianwen was a famous Confucian scholar in the Liang State and was once the tutor of Emperor Heng.

Later, Emperor Heng died and a new dynasty came. Because he found it difficult to face the current Emperor Yong, he took off his official uniform and traveled around.

When he returned to the country many years later, he learned that the fourth prince Cen Mian had died of illness long ago.

When Wu Xianwen saw Prince Consort Haiyan appear on the scene today, he felt that he was exactly like Emperor Heng in the world.

Just then, there was a sound at the window.

After a few seconds, the window opened and the person who jumped in was Haiyan's son-in-law Cen Yuan.
