Zhu Zhengqing was puzzled. Now that Wu Ma An was gone, he had lost a powerful foil!
"Alright, allow me to undress."
After changing into a new robe, Zhu Zhengqing walked into the hall uneasily and saw the person he didn't want to see the most!
Wu Ma Cao!
Che Hongliang and Celestial Master Ying Wei were there as well. They seemed to be discussing something.
Wu Ma Cao wasn't as handsome as his youngest son, Wu Ma An. His fierce face showed the traces of time. Even when meeting the emperor, he wore armor!
If Wu Ma Cao knew that his youngest son had been killed by the crown prince, he would probably kill the crown prince.
"Why did General Wu Ma suddenly rush back?" Zhu Chengxuan, who was sitting on the throne, asked curiously.
Wu Ma Cao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I received a secret report from the Celestial Master and immediately rushed back!"
Wu Ma Cao's voice was loud and clear.
Zhu Chengxuan was unhappy. The Celestial Master was making a big deal out of nothing!
"Celestial Master, General Wu Ma is guarding the border. How can we let him come back so suddenly?"
The Celestial Master was terrified. "Your Majesty, this is a special time. With General Wu Ma here, the royal hunt will be safer."
Wu Ma Cao cupped his hands and shouted, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to protect Your Majesty!"
"Then I will have to trouble General Wu Ma." Zhu Chengxuan was helpless. A trace of annoyance flashed between his brows.
"Crown Prince, the royal hunt is in three days. Finish this quickly." Zhu Chengxuan said to his son. This was also a chance for his son to perform for the royal family.
Zhu Zhengqing cupped his hands and said, "Your son understands."
Zhu Chengxuan nodded and scanned the crowd. "I don't want to hear anyone else talk about this bloody light! Anyone who disobeys will be executed! "
The four knelt together. "Your Majesty is wise!"
"You may all leave."
The four bowed and left the hall. Zhu Zhengqing quickened his pace. He didn't want to talk to Wu Ma Cao in case the latter saw through him.
However, this action made Wu Ma Cao feel like something was wrong. In the past, this crown prince was trying to curry favor with him, but now he was leaving so quickly.
"Your Highness," Wu Ma Cao called with a smile.
Zhu Zhengqing stopped in his tracks and cursed under his breath. However, he still turned around and smiled. "General Wu Ma!"
"Why is my son not accompanying the crown prince?" Wu Ma Cao asked curiously.
"Oh, I didn't see it today either." Zhu Zhengqing smiled. You won't be able to find this corpse in your entire life.
Wuma Cao smiled. "That's strange. He's not at home either."
"Maybe I'll go to a girl's house and stay the night."
Zhu Zhenqing's words made Wuma Cao believe him. Being romantic was their motto.
"This general will not disturb the crown prince any further. I hope the crown prince will guide my son." Wuma Cao cupped his hands in greeting.
Zhu Zhengqing laughed heartily. "Well said, well said."
Seeing Wu Ma Cao leave, Zhu Zhengqing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, today was a secret mission, and no one knew.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Che Hongliang suddenly walked out from the side, a pair of small eyes revealing shrewdness.
Zhu Zhengqing was startled, but he squeezed out a smile, "Sir Che."
Che Hongliang chuckled, "Today, Your Highness the Crown Prince brought the General's son and a few subordinates out. I'm sure your luck with women is not shallow."
Zhu Zhengqing really wanted to chop this bastard in front of him into pieces. He actually sent people to spy on me!
Furthermore, he also found out about today's matter. What should I do!
Seeing that the crown prince did not speak, Che Hongliang said indifferently, "Just now, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the General said that you don't know Wu Ma An's whereabouts, this is a bit …"
"Sir Che must have remembered wrongly." Zhu Zhengqing gradually stopped smiling. At this moment, he could not even smile anymore.
"Then, if the General knows that the crown prince lied, I'm afraid that the matter will be reported to His Majesty."
"Che Hongliang! Just what are you trying to do! "Zhu Zhengqing lowered his voice and shouted. Relying on the support of the Empress, the crown prince actually dared to speak rudely to me.
Che Hongliang did not expect the crown prince to have such a big reaction. At the start, I was only probing, but from the looks of it now, something must have happened!
Otherwise, the crown prince would not be this nervous. Could it be that Wu Ma An has already …?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, I'm just afraid that Your Highness the Crown Prince is too busy."
Don't you just want a plane? I'll give you one and seal your mouth.
"So it's this matter. Sir Che, you can be at ease, after the imperial hunt is over, I will report this matter to my father."
This was precisely what Che Hongliang wanted to hear, "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Take care, Sir Che."
Looking at Che Hongliang leaving, Zhu Zhengqing wished that he could take out his sword and stab Che Hongliang in the back. To actually dare to trick even me!
Just now, it would have been great if I had brought the unconscious Wu Ma An along with me, if not, why would I be threatened by Che Hongliang now!
Right now, the most important matter is to properly handle the imperial hunt! After the imperial hunt is over, I will think of a way to get the Donghuang Bloodline, Nuwa Bloodline, and those two women.
This matter cannot be spoken out even if I am beaten to death. After all, this matter is more important than the throne.
Three days passed by very quickly.
Because it was the imperial hunt, the people in the city were celebrating as if it was a festival. To them, the imperial hunt was a big day.
The more the imperial hunt was, the more glorious the imperial family was, and the more peaceful the Heaven's Mansion was.
Of course, the hunt was also a chance for the princes to perform. Although the Crown Prince had already been decided, it was still possible to remove him from his position. The princes all wanted to drag the Crown Prince down from his pedestal.
There were more than two thousand members of the imperial family in total. Including the generals and guards, there were more than ten thousand people.
Zhu Zhengqing was the person in charge of this hunt, and he was in charge of everything.
Just as Zhu Zhengqing was busy, Wu Ma Cao walked over in his armor. He was in charge of safety this time.
"Your Highness, have you seen my son these past few days?" Wu Ma Cao asked in a low voice. His eyes were filled with displeasure.
Zhu Zhengqing felt Wu Ma Cao's questioning and immediately greeted him with a smile. "General Wu Ma, the Crown Prince has been busy making arrangements for the hunt these past few days. He has been so busy that he has not seen Young Master An."
"That is strange. Once this hunt is over, I hope that Your Highness will give me an answer!" This was Wu Ma Cao's final message. His son's sudden disappearance was definitely not normal.
It must have something to do with the Crown Prince!
Zhu Zhengqing hurriedly comforted him. "Do not worry, General Wu Ma. Once the hunt is over, this Crown Prince will immediately go find Young Master An. Perhaps he is infatuated with someone's daughter."
"Then I hope that Your Highness will remember your words." Wu Ma Cao was not so easy to trick. He, the father, had returned, but his son had to come and see him. Which family's daughter could be kept?
Seeing Wu Ma Cao leave, Zhu Zhengqing let out a sigh of relief. His heart was heavy.
