Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1072 - 1070: Startling News

Although there was an initial inclination to collaborate with Jun Wenqi, this cooperation was not something that could be instantly achieved by merely verbally agreeing to collaborate in business. There was still a lot of preparatory work to be done.

Wufu not only had to draft regulations but also find the right people to follow up on this matter, and she was as busy as a dog. Not only her, but the people around her were equally busy, as she directed them like spinning tops.

Since it was necessary to avoid the current state of the Jun Family and create a stable new route, Wufu sent Chi Wu to the Skull Gang’s stronghold to deliver a message to Thirteenth Lady Xiao. Naturally, the message was about business cooperation.

During this time, Wufu did not ignore the comments that partnering with pirates might be lacking in consideration. However, in her eyes, even those living in the underworld have their own sense of justice, potentially more enlightened and fair than some who hold themselves as righteous. As long as everyone refrains from playing tricks behind the scenes and stabbing each other in the back, the collaboration could be relatively pleasant.

Therefore, she didn’t mind collaborating with pirates. Who said doing business must be entirely above board? Who said the world couldn’t tolerate people navigating the gray areas?

After sending out another person, Wufu felt even more that she didn’t have enough people to rely on. Fortunately, several parties were contributing people to this business cooperation; otherwise, she wouldn’t know where to find help.

"Miss, Mei Er is here," Jadeite reported upon entering.

Mei Er was from Ah Jiu’s Secret Guard Camp, responsible for gathering information in Changan City, especially from the palace.

Wufu lifted her head from a pile of charcoal pens and paper: "Come in."

Mei Er quickly entered and cupped his hands in salute to Wufu: "Subordinate greets Miss."

"Is there any news?" Wufu asked.

"Miss, the Crown Prince is gravely ill," Mei Er replied.

"Oh," Wufu first responded, then suddenly lifted her head: "The Crown Prince is gravely ill? Are you talking about the Crown Prince of Nanyue?"

Mei Er nodded: "The news just arrived from the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince has been unconscious for a day."

"How could this happen so suddenly?" Wufu frowned and took a few steps: "Has the Eastern Palace sealed the news, or has it already spread?"

"The Emperor of Nanyue ordered the news to be sealed, but those who should know, know," Mei Er said.

Wufu looked at him: "Is he truly gravely ill, or is it orchestrated?"

Mei Er was a bit surprised but quickly returned to normal and said, "The news says the Crown Prince was poisoned due to food incompatibility, and the Eastern Palace executed a Liang Di."

"Food incompatibility? Do you believe that?" Wufu sneered, "This means it was orchestrated!"

Mei Er said nothing.

Wufu rubbed her chin and said, "Which side did it?"

Mei Er still said nothing.

"Investigate it. If you can find out, great. If not, it’s fine. The most important thing is that our people don’t get caught up in it," Wufu thought for a moment, then added, "If the Crown Prince of Nanyue cannot recover, withdraw our people from the Eastern Palace as soon as possible."

Mei Er listened, looking over with eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Wufu rolled her eyes and said, "It’s not easy to train a spy, especially in those places. If the Crown Prince of Nanyue can’t recover, why waste them as cannon fodder?"

She was someone who valued her wings!

"Yes, Miss," Mei Er’s gaze was gentle.

"Send this message to the Prince," Wufu said. "Also, have someone pay attention to the movements of the Tenth Prince’s Mansion and that Sixth Prince."

After all, these so-called brothers can’t wait for that eyesore to pass on sooner.

"Yes."

"By the way, compile a detailed dossier on the families within the court of Nanyue for me," Wufu instructed again.

Mei Er didn’t ask what she intended to do, just nodded and withdrew.
