The alliance between the Liu, Xu and Huang families not only made the feudal lords and forces in Dongqing uneasy, but the Northern Borderline was also in turmoil.
Other than external factors, the internal affairs of the Northern Borderline were also full of hidden dangers.
First, the nine princes of the Northern Borderline plotted against each other, then the King of the Northern Borderline's health deteriorated, like a river declining day by day.
"Cough, cough, cough, come, come, come, come, bring my medicine over …"
Frequent consumption of Hanshi powder, in addition to frequent outbursts of anger, almost drained the King of the Northern Borderline's body.
How was he still the majestic king now?
He was clearly a dying male lion, weak and frail, his sharp teeth could not even bite through the skin of his prey.
How could the King of the Northern Borderline accept such a situation?
The more it was so, the more he relied on the state he was in after consuming Hanshi powder …
His mind was clear and his body was full of energy, as if he had returned to his strongest and youngest days.
He shouted for a few times, only after a while did his beloved concubine enter the room.
"What, what happened outside … why did you come so late?"
Ever since he consumed Hanshi powder, the King of the Northern Borderline's temper became more irritable, he would vent his anger by killing the slaves when he was unhappy.
He raised his hand and waved the tray, fiercely pinching his beloved concubine's wrist. His eyes were wide open, his heavy breathing came out from his nostrils onto his beloved concubine's face.
"Spare me, my King! Spare me, my King … "
The beloved concubine begged pitifully.
"Tell me!" The King of the Northern Borderline held on for a while, he laid back down exhausted, his chest rising and falling rapidly. "Tell me …"
The beloved concubine seemed to be used to the King's violent temper, she knelt on the ground to clean up the remains and changed a new set of medicine.
After consuming large amounts of Hanshi powder, the King of the Northern Borderline was immersed in a wonderful state, a carefree yet sly smile appeared on his face.
The beloved concubine at the side saw the situation, she only shivered, as if she fell into an ice cellar.
She watched for a while, until the King's chest calmed down, then she carried the tray and retreated.
The moment she left the main tent, her waist was suddenly tightened, before she could scream, her mouth was covered by someone.
The beloved concubine blushed, "Ninth, Ninth Highness … not here …"
The King of the Northern Borderline's beloved concubine reminded him, "Ninth Highness, do you still remember the Sixth Prince?"
The King of Northern Borderline's favorite concubine reminded him, "Your Highness, do you still remember the sixth prince?"
When the Ninth Prince heard about the Sixth Prince, he immediately lost interest and pushed the woman away with an ashen face.
"It's really unlucky to mention Sixth Brother at this time."
The Sixth Prince thought that the King of the Northern Borderline was seriously ill and the throne would fall on his head. So he held the King's beloved concubine and did whatever he wanted in front of the bed. He didn't expect that the King of the Northern Borderline would wake up at this time and fiercely attack the Sixth Prince, almost killing him.
Learn from the mistakes of others and learn from the mistakes of others.
The Ninth Prince could not fall into the same trap.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. We still have a long way to go. There's no need to rush."
Compared to the Ninth Prince, who was willful and outstanding, this concubine was much calmer and saw things more clearly.
"There's no need to be so careful. Now, apart from number four, who else can threaten me? "
The Ninth Prince sneered as a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister, do you really think that Sun Wen is doing his best to help you?
He and Harrencha are both my people. He's just using you as a target to sweep away the enemies on the surface.
The concubine said, "Aren't there still the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince?"
The Ninth Prince sneered and said disdainfully, "The two of them? Although they share the same mother, they don't get along and have been fighting ever since they were young. "
The Third Prince was also unlucky.
This person studied under Wu Liba. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be in such a miserable state. Unfortunately, he had a traitorous younger brother — the Fifth Prince.
The death of Zhan Ying dragged the Third Prince down and his reputation in the court plummeted.
In order to prevent losses, the Third Prince could only lay low and plan for the future.
However, the Fifth Prince was unwilling. He caught the other and bit him, treating his brother from the same mother as if he was his father's murderer.
The two brothers fought so fiercely. Sun Wen even pushed them from behind and easily knocked them out of the game.
Now, of the Nine Sons of the Northern Borderline, only the Fourth Prince, whom Sun Wen assisted on the surface, and the Ninth Prince, whom he secretly supported, were left.
"Thank you for your plan, sir!"
The Fourth Prince had been very successful recently and gave all kinds of rare treasures to Sun Wen.
He and the Ninth Prince shared the same mother, but the Ninth Prince had never been adopted by the Queen. He was only the son of a female slave and had a very lowly bloodline.
In the Fourth Prince's eyes, the Ninth Prince was not a threat. The throne of the Northern Borderline was already in his hands.
Sun Wen smiled and said, "The Fourth Prince is favored by the heavens. I'm just following the will of the heavens."
These words made the Fourth Prince's body and mind feel good.
He said, "When I ascend the throne, I hope that you will continue to assist me to unify the Northern Borderline and fight against the traitor Liu!"
Ascending the throne didn't mean that he could rest easy. His other brothers had all returned to their respective tribes and were all great troubles for him.
Sun Wen smiled and said, "That's natural. I will definitely sacrifice my life for the Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince was overjoyed at his loyalty. He held Sun Wen's hand and refused to let go.
Sun Wen's schemes were unparalleled. If he could wholeheartedly assist him, he wouldn't be afraid of his brothers, let alone the covetous Liu Xi.
As long as the Ninth Prince was eliminated, he would be the next King of the Northern Borderline!
Sun Wen frowned and warned, "The Fourth Prince can't let his guard down. Although the Ninth Prince is not as good as the Fourth Prince, he is still the 'youngest' and the King loves him the most. The Ninth Prince usually hides behind others and lets others take the blame for everything. I don't know how many connections he has secretly accumulated. The Fourth Prince should be more cautious in case he takes the opportunity to force the King to abdicate and act first … "
The Fourth Prince's expression turned serious and he said seriously, "Thanks to your advice, I almost got carried away."
The Ninth Prince was usually quiet, but he was the youngest son and was loved by the King of the Northern Borderline. All the good things were given to him.
After so many years, who knew what trump cards the Ninth Prince had?
A few days later, the Fourth Prince received a secret report from an informant. The Ninth Prince was gathering troops to force the King to abdicate.
There were only two princes left in the imperial court. The Ninth Prince must have felt the pressure and couldn't wait to act first.
"Sir, what should we do? The Ninth Prince is really going to force the King to abdicate … "
According to the King of the Northern Borderline's love for the Ninth Prince, he might really hand over the throne to him.
Sun Wen comforted him, "The Fourth Prince is not in a hurry."
"Why not?" The Fourth Prince said eagerly, "My plan has removed all the obstacles. Do you think it will be all for the Ninth Prince?"
Sun Wen said with a smile, "The Fourth Prince is not in a hurry. This is a ready-made weakness."
As soon as he said this, the Fourth Prince was immediately comforted.
"Sir, you are right …" The Fourth Prince came back to his senses, his heart beating wildly, "The Ninth Prince really made a bad move!"
The Ninth Prince couldn't bear the pressure and brought troops to force the King to abdicate. This was a stupid move made when there was no other way out.
If he won the bet, the King of the Northern Borderline's position would fall to the Ninth Prince. If he lost, the Fourth Prince would be the final winner.
Sun Wen suddenly frowned and asked, "The Fourth Prince, is this news true?"
The Fourth Prince said, "Of course it's true."
