I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 306 - 306 Wishful Thinking



306 Wishful Thinking

“If there’s anything difficult to deal with, you can tell me. I’ll get someone to deal with it.”

Pei Qian naturally knew very well that the Du family had come to cause trouble previously. However, his attention had been mainly on the fourth prince recently, so he didn’t ask Lin Suisui.

At this moment, he mentioned this to show his stance.

“There are more than just one or two military households in Cloud Mountain City. Since you’ve handed this matter to me, don’t worry. I’ll settle everything.”

Lin Suisui rejected Pei Qian’s kind offer.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do here, she stood up and was about to leave when she was stopped by Pei Qian.

“If you have nothing to do recently, it’s best if you don’t go out too often.” Pei Qian put down the teacup in his hand and turned around to instruct Lin Suisui solemnly.

“The fourth prince is in Cloud Mountain City now, so there has been some chaos in Cloud Mountain City recently. For your safety, it’s better to stay indoors.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Pei.” Lin Suisui thanked Pei Qian before turning to leave.

Pei Qian’s words were not to scare Lin Suisui, but the truth.

For some families in the northern region, it wasn’t a small matter for the fourth prince to come to Cloud Mountain City.

After all, the north used to be Crown Prince Lu Ze’s territory, but now, the Crown Prince had been sent to another palace in the name of recuperating. At this moment, the fourth prince had come all the way to Cloud Mountain City in the snow. Anyone who wasn’t a fool could guess that this trip wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Many people wanted to seize the chance to take a gamble.

If they were lucky, they might get rewarded in the future!

Compared to the restless commoners, the prestigious families in the north were very calm. After coming to pay their respects to the fourth prince, they returned home and didn’t do anything else.

This made the situation in the entire northern region even more unpredictable.

“Gao Xuwei is useless. In just a few years, he has already caused so much chaos in the north.” Pei Qian sat by the fourth prince’s bed as he analyzed the current situation with him.

His tone was calm, but his words were very impolite. “Your Highness, your current situation is different from before. Sooner or later, the position of Crown Prince will be vacated.

The Third Prince has the support of the Jiao Yun Army in the east. You originally wanted to rely on Gao Xuwei to stabilize the situation in the north, but now, the north is just Gao Xuwei’s cash cow!

All these years, he had secretly replaced all the officials in the north!

The army is corrupt. Those generals don’t have the ability to lead troops in battle, but they’re quite good at fishing for money!”

“Song Tao, calm down. General Gao is at least loyal to me. Aren’t you being a little too unreasonable by replacing him just like that?”

When the fourth prince thought of how pitiful Gao Xuwei and his aunt had looked when they came over today, he felt some pity for them.

Just as his mother had said, they were family. At least, they were in the same boat now, so they wouldn’t betray him!

“Your Highness, if you really reveal your true intentions to the Third Prince in the future, the north will be the best weapon for the Third Prince’s faction to target you with!

Have you forgotten why you had to make this trip in such cold weather?

Now, the northern barbarians have entered the empire unobstructed! For the past few years, the northern region seemed peaceful on the surface. Things have been smooth sailing for the northern barbarians for quite a few years now!

How much longer do you think they can endure it before they invade again?

If they invade now, Your Highness, do you think Gao Xuwei can hold them off?”

Pei Qian was already very familiar with the fourth prince’s habit of being soft-hearted when he shouldn’t be. Therefore, he couldn’t be bothered to be perfunctory and pointed out the pros and cons directly.

“If something happens in the north, who will bear the brunt?

I know that Your Highness is soft-hearted and can’t bear to make a move on Gao Xuwei. That’s why I handed over the matters in the north to Gu Erlang to deal with.

As for Gao Xuwei, he can continue to be the general who stabilizes the north on the surface, so it’s not a bad thing for him either!”

Pei Qian lowered his eyes as he told the fourth prince the solution to this matter calmly.

As expected, the fourth prince didn’t feel sorry for Gao Xuwei anymore. He simply nodded and agreed to Pei Qian’s plan.

However, he was only silent for a moment before he frowned, as if he had thought of something. “Is Gu Erlang really worthy of your trust?”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I know him very well. Also, I have something else to tell you.” After Pei Qian glanced at the fourth prince, who was leaning against the head of the bed with a bowl of soup in his hand, but had not taken a sip for a long time, he decided to explain the matter to him.

“Now, you’d better not make a move on Gu Erlang’s wife.”

“What are you talking about, Song Tao? I just admire her beauty. Speaking of which, it’s quite strange that although that day was the first time I saw Madam Liu, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her, as if I’ve met her before.”

The fourth prince placed the cold soup on the short table at the side. He had always trusted Pei Qian, so he spoke without restraint in front of him. “I heard that her medical skills are very good. Speaking of which, I haven’t been this interested in a woman in a long time! If yᴏu ωant to read more chapters, Please visi̾t̾ 𝔫𝗼νℯ𝙡𝙗Ꭵ𝖓.𝑛𝔢𝒕 tᴏ experience faster update speed.

Still, I’m not the type to ignore the big picture.

Don’t worry. Since you said that Gu Erlang is still useful now, I definitely know my limits and won’t force him to do anything he’s unwilling to do now.

“But Song Tao, if he’s willing, there’s no reason to stop it, right?”

“He’s willing?” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows. For a moment, he didn’t understand the meaning of these words and asked the fourth prince, “Who are you talking about, Madam Liu, or…”

How could Lu Ze be willing to be cuckolded?!

For some reason, Pei Qian suddenly felt anticipation. He really wanted to see if Lu Ze would personally smash the fourth prince’s head after knowing his delusional plan.

“For men, power is often the most important thing! If you have power, how can you be unable to find a woman you like?” The fourth prince seemed very convinced and didn’t even notice Pei Qian’s ugly expression. “No matter how outstanding Gu Erlang is, he’s still a man!”
