In Black Tortoise Country, many people revered the Imperial Advisor as a deity. Only the Grand General, who was a military officer, did not take him seriously.
In his eyes, the Imperial Advisor was just a swindler. What did he mean by knowing the past, the present, and the future? It was all nonsense! Only a bunch of idiots would believe his words.
"Fifth Imperial Brother?"
Pang Ran blinked, staring at the Fifth Prince in confusion.
He didn't know why, but he felt that his Fifth Imperial Brother was different today, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"Grand General!"
Lin Yue was so angry that his entire body was on fire. Unfortunately, his leg was still in Baobao's mouth, and he did not dare to move. He could only stare at the Grand General's expressionless face, then sweep his gaze towards the Fifth Prince. Suddenly, he laughed and said mockingly, "So that's how it is. The few of you have conspired to harm His Imperial Majesty. Aren't you afraid of having your entire family executed?"
He gritted his teeth as he spat out the last three words!
However, the Grand General did not even bat an eyelid. He said coldly, "Guards, take Lin Yue down. I am going to see His Imperial Majesty now!"
"Yes, Lord General!"
Following this command, Baobao finally loosened its mouth. It raised its paw and gave Lin Yue a fierce slap, sending him flying and landing heavily in the middle of the soldiers' encirclement. Just as Lin Yue was about to move, countless weapons were placed on his body, preventing him from moving.
The Fifth Prince walked to Gu Ruoyun's side, his eyes filled with gratitude. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you."
This time, Pang Ran was completely dumbfounded. He rubbed his head and said, "Goddess, this... What's going on?"
How could he not know when the Goddess had met my Fifth Imperial Brother?
Of course, that was aside from that time at the restaurant!
Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly, but did not explain anything.
After she and Pang Ran left the Imperial Palace, she knew that Pang Zihuang would definitely interrogate Imperial Concubine Lin. So, she went to find the Fifth Prince. At the beginning, the Fifth Prince was still surprised by her intentions. However, when he found out that Pang Zihuang would be in danger, he immediately returned to his usual self.
Gu Ruoyun then gave him an antidote and instructed him to head to the Imperial Palace immediately and feed it to Pang Zihuang after Imperial Concubine Lin and the Imperial Advisor had left.
The reason she was so sure that the antidote would work was because, with Pang Zihuang's strength, even if they attacked him secretly, they would not be able to kill him. They could only use poison! The Fifth Prince had indeed heard a lot of shocking news, and after Imperial Concubine Lin and her sister had left, he sneaked in and fed Pang Zihuang an antidote, then went to seek the help of the General.
As for why Gu Ruoyun did not warn Pang Zihuang, it was because she wanted to use this opportunity to expose the ambitions of Imperial Concubine Lin and her sister. Only then would Pang Ran be able to ascend to the throne. After all, a mere catnip plant was not enough to punish them. Otherwise, Pang Zihuang would have no other choice but to use the excuse that they didn't recognize the croup plant …
"Hahaha!"
Abruptly, a loud laughter came from Lin Yue's mouth and said, "Do you really think that the great general can save you? Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, have you forgotten who I am? The young master of the Xia family, Xia Yu, is my brother-in-law. Since you've made a move against me, the Xia family will never forgive you! And you, Pang Ran, do you think that you can become the Emperor just because you've defeated us? Dream on, haven't you heard of keeping the goodies within the family? How could the Xia family allow an outsider like you to become the Emperor? "
