The Fourth Princess's Gossip System

227

The Prince's uncle felt hollow at the Emperor's departure. He stood upright in front of the Emperor's courtyard, silent and motionless from the moment the Emperor died. His gaze was empty, yet behind those eyes, there was such a deep and unexpressed feeling. He looked towards the Emperor's room with an expressionless face, hands behind his back.

No one dared to approach or greet him. The cold aura surrounding Uncle Prince felt sharper than the bone-chilling night wind. Like ice frozen in silence, his presence felt so petrified, blocking anyone who intended to get close.

Although a deep sense of grief filled his heart, Uncle Prince still showed a strong determination, impenetrable to anyone. His subsequent decisions and actions would probably show the other side of Uncle Prince being so tough.

"Master, there is a message from the Little Palace Princess," said a shadow guard who suddenly appeared in front of the Prince's Uncle who was standing tall.

If noticed, it turned out that this shadow guard was the one who had written the short and dense information from zhang Fei.

The Prince's uncle did not glance, but let the shadow guard hand over the paper he was holding.

Calmly, Uncle Prince read the message. His facial expression suddenly turned into a grinning smile, creating a frightening look after reading the message.

"Good, now I will finish off the enemy down to his roots" the Prince's Uncle said in a stern tone as he squeezed the paper.

This was the first time after the Emperor's death, he spun his body from before the Emperor's room.

"Let's go, there's work to be done today as well. A day full of blood will accompany the funeral of the Emperor, "he added without glancing at his interlocutor, the shadow guard.

With a light movement, the Prince's Uncle seemed to disappear in the darkness. The shadow guard also followed in his footsteps, and instantly the two disappeared from the place.

The place where Uncle Prince was standing was as if he had gone back into silence, as if there had never been a figure standing there.

That way, Zhang Fei who was asleep in his palace .Not knowing if Uncle Prince was also holding an impromptu meeting that scheduled the information sent by Zhang Fei.

The Prince's uncle waited until the meeting hall was full before he finally took out a map depicting the capital.

Inside the room, the Princes had a subordinate group consisting of their nobles and ministers of trust. However, in contrast to Uncle Prince, he only had a number of elite shadow guards that he had trained alone with his concubine mother before his death.

Given their exclusive existence, Uncle Prince trained and developed the abilities of his own shadow guards, as well as increasing their numbers as time went on. Now, the elite shadow guards present at this gathering numbered over 20,000 people, scattered at various points that functioned as spies.

"With care, look at this map. Look at these points, these, and these. There are 6 points that should concern us, and your job is to prevent anyone from getting out of there" the Prince's uncle said firmly.

It points to several locations marked on the map, explaining the strategy to be carried out at each point. There were locations in the form of passageways that would be transformed into traps with drug fumes, as well as other locations that would be a point of defense against rebel warriors.

The Prince's uncle planned things simultaneously and his elite shadow guards had to form 6 groups working together to execute the plan.

Their movement was aimed at preventing the men involved from escaping, while others were tasked with preventing the rebel soldiers from retaking control of the capital.

"do you all understand what to do?"

"well, our Master understands "

"well then go and I don't want to see any wrongdoing" said the Prince's Uncle again with a serious face.

On a pitch-black night, around 04:00 in the morning, Uncle Prince was still presiding over the impromptu meeting that was going on.

Not to forget, Uncle Prince had also instructed the secret forces to pick up the 4th Prince. He wanted to make sure that the 4th Prince arrived in the capital safely and was not distracted by the movements of the rebel soldiers.

This entire movement was done in secret, a tight sound was only heard from within the sealed hall. However, in the darkness of the night, the Prince's Uncle never expected that there was one other group that was also meeting impromptu secretly in the capital, other than his own group.

The group was the Orchid Pavilion, a group with nothing to do with politics in Dayun.

They are also holding an impromptu meeting, hand in hand with a beggar party that now has its own chairman.

The initial plan was, how do the distribution of stamina guard pills and cleaning books that are shared for free for people who want to learn it.

After sending the product and giving some conversation representing the Princess . The Peaches girl did not stay but instead went straight back to the small palace to serve in her position.

The peach girl was completely unaware, as soon as she left the party chairman of the Pavilion instantly gave some code that suggested an impromptu meeting addressed to the recently appointed beggar party chief.

The pill given by the Princess was actually aimed at the beggar party that had already acted spontaneously to save the capital.

Yet here the orchid Pavilion also wanted the same thing as they had also been a beggar in the past.

In the impromptu meeting that was taking place, the beggar party chief raised his hand respectfully, showing his respect for the Princess who was clearly nowhere to be seen.

His voice sounded sincere as he spoke, "I can't speak much, but I have to say this. The gift that the Princess gave us was amazing. We never imagined anything like this before. This is an immeasurable act of generosity, and I represent the party of beggars, thank you profusely."

Smiling full of happiness, the beggar party leader continued, "This stamina guard pill and self-cleaning book not only gives us hope, but also symbolizes Princess peipei's care and concern for the marginalized."

A happy and appreciative face emanated from the beggar party chief as he said these words. Her expression became a reflection of the deep feelings of generosity and concern for this little palace Princess.

The first chairman of the Orchid Pavilion softly continued after the beggar chief finished speaking, "We all in the Orchid Pavilion also think so. We all realize how valuable this gift is .However, regarding the same rights and uses towards the stamina guard pills and cleansing books, I think the orchid pavilion also has the same rights"

The second chairman of the Orchid Pavilion added respectfully, "Actually, we are two different parties, but are actually still under the tutelage of the Princess. But since these two gifts are aimed at the sacrifice of the beggar party, we need to ask permission first"

The third head of the Orchid Pavilion nodded his head in agreement, "If these pills and books can help everyone, then we should work together to ensure these benefits are spread evenly."

The leader of the beggar party agreed to nod, they felt bound on a journey together under the guidance of Princess Peipei. Their conversation became even deeper with the princess's commendable actions.

However, their conversation turned to one fact that surrounded the Princess. His fate is shared with Uncle Prince, a man who is considered by many to have mental retardation. In the end, their conversation slumped toward a deep sense of regret.

"We know, Uncle Prince is actually not what he pretended to be," said one of the head of the Orchid Pavilion with a face full of regret.

The beggar chief chimed in with a voice full of worry, "Really, we have been caught up in this pseudo-view. The Prince's uncle was a smart and strong man. But for personal purposes, he chose to hide himself behind the curtain of mental decline."

Brakes...

The pounding of the beggar party leader's desk sounded so loud, and he stood with his eyes blazing with gusto.

"Over this time we only let Uncle Prince appear stupid with a low IQ in everyone's eyes. We have to change this situation. We have the power to form opinions and control the public's view of the Princess" he exclaimed, a fiery voice.

Some people in the room were confused, they did not fully understand the direction of the conversation. The 1st Chairman of the Orchid Pavilion finally got up as well, his expression revealing confusion.

"The party chief beggar, why don't we directly reveal your intentions? Speak blatantly do not convolve, that we may understand," he urged with a hint of annoyance.

The beggar party leader chuckled, and he said again"Sorry, I'm sometimes too excited. Our main strength, both from the Orchid Pavilion and the beggar party, lies in our ability to spread rumors and control information. What if we start spreading rumors that Uncle Prince is actually being cared for by a genius healer?"

Brakes...

The table was again snapped, this time by the 2nd Chief of the Orchid Pavilion. His expression was full of vigor, as if fused with the idea.

"Fuckin' thick! If we give new rumors and restore the dignity of Uncle Prince, Princess Peipei will have a better stage in the eyes of the nobility. This idea is brilliant!" he said with a lively laugh.

The atmosphere that was once serious now turned cheerful and excited. They agree to carry out this plan, believing that the rumors and information they spread can change the public's view and give Princess Peipei a better position.

So at four in the morning, there are 3 meetings with 3 different agendas and of course with 3 different locations.

the first location was the third Prince who held a meeting discussing how to take back the capital with the remnants of the existing power.

Also how to get their families out of the capital.

The second meeting was on the Uncle Prince's side which discussed how to prevent the takeover of power by the third prince.

He also discussed how to escort the 4th Prince to return as soon as possible to the capital, to take over power automatically.

So the two meetings above are really things that are interconnected but destroy each other in the end.

The last meeting was at the orchid pavilion where, those leaders were planning to clear the name and reputation of Uncle Prince as a foolish man.

Beggar Party and Orchid Pavilion, two different entities, but had a mutually supportive relationship. They work systematically and responsively, having thousands of members spread across the country.

As the sun began to rise, beggar party members were already preparing to spread the news through word of mouth. The merchant who left the capital also brought the news, and the letter-sending pigeon was blown into the air, bringing the news to various corners quickly.

Before the Third Prince's first steps could be taken to realize the results of the previous night's meeting, the entire country, including the capital, had heard the same news, The Prince's uncle had recovered and become a normal man thanks to a genius healer who appeared out of nowhere.

This rumor also gives an extra touch, saying that this healing is a blessing from the marriage of Uncle Prince with Princess Peipei, wife of Uncle Prince. This information had already spread rapidly, giving off the impact that the beggar party and the Orchid Pavilion wanted.
