Chapter 500

A look of satisfaction appeared in Wang Jian's eyes, and he nodded.

"But this matter..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Wang Ben.

"Father, given your status, how many pairs of eyes are watching you?"

"I fear that as soon as you have contact with Prince Hu Hai, someone will report the news to His Majesty."

"If His Majesty learns of the news, I fear he will be furious; after all, what His Majesty detests most is the princes having too close a relationship with officials like us."

Wang Ben continued to speak.

Wang Jian's brow furrowed slightly, and then he nodded slowly.

"What you say is very true."

"If I were to have contact with Prince Hu Hai personally, I fear it would truly make His Majesty dissatisfied with our Wang family."

Wang Jian fell into silence.

Having contact with the two princes—if one's status is not sufficient, how can it be done?

In the entire Wang family, besides him, only Wang Ben could have contact with Prince Hu Hai.

"How do you intend to probe Prince Hu Hai?"

Wang Jian pondered for a while and then asked.

After all, Wang Ben's choice could affect the direction of the entire Wang family; he had to be cautious about this matter.

"What does Father think?"

Wang Ben looked up at Wang Jian, seemingly seeing from his eyes that Wang Jian had something to say.

"Why not ask Prince Hu Hai how he views the ghosts that have appeared in Xianyang City in recent days?"

Wang Jian said slowly.

His eyes narrowed slightly, hiding all the thoughts in his heart.

Wang Ben looked up at his father but could not see what he was thinking.

His eyes flickered for a moment.

He also did not know what kind of answer his father wanted.

But based on Wang Ben's understanding of his father, I fear this answer will affect his choice.

"This child understands."

Wang Ben nodded.

With the father and son having discussed this, over in the imperial palace,

after Fusu had heard everything Fonian had to say, he intended to head to Ying Zheng's palace once again.

He also knew that he had been completely wrong just now.

So, by going there this time, he wanted to seek his father's forgiveness.

He had never forgotten his elder brother, nor had he ever forgotten how his elder brother had died.

It was only because his heart was with the people of the world that he had been a bit too hasty.

"I ask the Prince to leave; His Majesty is not seeing anyone right now."

For the first time, Fusu was blocked outside the palace that had previously been unobstructed.

He looked at the guard with the icy expression in front of him.

"Please go in and report to Father; tell him I have an urgent matter to discuss with him."

Fusu said.

"I ask the Prince to leave early; His Majesty has said he is not seeing anyone."

The guard still spoke coldly, without making any move, as if he had no intention of going in at all.

Fusu understood immediately; it seemed this was his father's will.

It seems he truly has been cast aside by his father, otherwise, his father would not even be willing to see him.

Fusu's gaze dimmed somewhat.

He looked incredibly dejected.

Suddenly, he remembered what Fonian had said to him earlier.

The footsteps he had been taking to retreat were suddenly frozen in place.

He must see his father; he must clarify this matter in person.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of determination flashed in Fusu's eyes.
