CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 340 TERRIFYING PRINCE CHU_3

"Your Highness, should we inform the Crown Prince about Prince Chu’s successful entry into Peng City?"

"What’s the point of telling him?" Prince Wei had long been displeased with the Crown Prince. "Let Prince Chu investigate the copper theft incident."

Yu Hai understood Prince Wei’s intention, yet he recalled the Crown Prince’s plan to send his Highness to Peng City.

"Your Highness, once you arrive in Jinling, you are to go to Peng City to investigate the copper theft case."

"When the time comes, I can just pass all this onto the fourth prince," said Prince Wei, picking up a pen to write a reply to Prince Chu.

"Your Highness is wise."

After finishing the letter, Prince Wei handed it to Yu Hai.

Yu Hai passed the letter to the Hidden Guard and then returned to Prince Wei’s side.

"Your Highness, we will arrive in Jinling tomorrow, and there will be a lot for you to handle. You should rest early."

"No need, prepare a fast boat for me. I want to hurry to Jinling tonight."

"Ah? Your Highness, you want to rush to Jinling tonight?"

"I want to visit the tenth prince in Jinling first," Prince Wei stated. "For the time being, no one can know about the tenth prince’s whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hai snarkily thought to himself: Your Highness, you can’t wait to see the tenth prince.

Seeing Yu Hai standing there dazed, Prince Wei glared and said, "What are you standing there for? Go and prepare quickly."

"I will go immediately, Your Highness." Yu Hai dared not delay and quickly went to prepare the fast boat.

A moment later, Prince Wei, along with the Hidden Guard, left by fast boat. Yu Hai stayed behind on the official ship, "putting on a show."

Meanwhile, Li Jue’s group scoured Jinling City yet couldn’t find Zhao Yao, who was happily eating fruit and reading a book.

Mr. Fan took great care of Zhao Yao, causing him to gain a few pounds.

To avoid suspicion, Zhao Yao hadn’t informed Tong Xi and the others of his whereabouts. After reading so many interesting books, it was a pity he couldn’t share them with Tong Xi.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Yao, without lifting his head, said, "Come in."

Mr. Fan entered, respectfully reporting to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, the prince will arrive in Jinling tomorrow afternoon."

"Really?" Zhao Yao, hearing this, immediately put down the book he was holding, his face full of joy, "Eighth Brother is finally coming."

Mr. Fan, worried that Zhao Yao might impulsively run out to meet Prince Wei, quickly advised, "Your Highness, I understand you’re eager to see the prince, but you must not go out to meet him." Currently, the Li Family is fiercely searching throughout Jinling City for the tenth prince.

"Don’t worry, I’ll stay put here and wait for Eighth Brother to come to me. I’m not an idiot."

Feeling reassured, Mr. Fan left without further disturbing Zhao Yao.

After reading for a while longer, Zhao Yao finally went to sleep. In his drowsy state, he sensed someone watching him and heard a voice speaking by his ear.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

In his dream, Zhao Yao felt he had heard it somewhere before. Who was speaking?

The voice sounded like Eighth Brother’s.

Eighth Brother?!

Zhao Yao suddenly awoke with a start.

Prince Wei was about to leave and was taken aback to see Zhao Yao suddenly awaken.

Seeing it was indeed Prince Wei, Zhao Yao hurriedly sat up, rubbed his eyes, and incredulously called out, "Eighth Brother?"

"It’s me." Prince Wei smiled apologetically, "I’m sorry, did I wake you?"

"Eighth Brother!" Zhao Yao, full of joy, dashed toward Prince Wei and tightly embraced him, continuously calling "Eighth Brother."

Seeing Zhao Yao so happy to see him, Prince Wei couldn’t help but smile warmly. He held Zhao Yao firmly and gently patted his back.
