Chapter 180 Rescue
Chapter 180 Rescue
Pei Yunzhao never thought that anyone would save him. He knew that he was a useless playboy, and without He Guangquan, he would never have come this far.
He actually doesn't care. Although he also wants that position, if he can't get it, being a rich and powerful prince will also be nice.
Pei Yunzhao knew his own weight and that he could not compete with the prince, but he also knew that his mother's family was powerful and his father doted on him very much.
It would be a pity if he didn't fight for the throne.
What's more, his mother also hopes that he can sit in that position. After all, only by truly sitting in that position can he have real power and be able to do whatever he wants.
Pei Yunzhao has lived a reckless and flamboyant life since he was a child. He has never thought that he would have to live a humble life in the future.
But if the prince succeeds in ascending to the throne, he is destined to be inferior to others.
The prince had disliked him and was jealous of him since he was a child.
They only have one father, and the fatherly love he can give them is pitifully little.
The crown prince was appointed as the crown prince since he was young, so he has many more responsibilities than Pei Yunzhao. He must restrain himself and study diligently. He cannot act like a spoiled child like Pei Yunzhao and act like a spoiled child like his father.
The prince hated Pei Yunzhao. If he sat on the throne in the future, he would probably not let Pei Yunzhao have an easy time.
It just so happened that Pei Yunzhao had the help of a capable man, He Guangquan. Although he was a playboy, he was obedient and did whatever He Guangquan asked him to do. Therefore, he was able to fight against the prince on equal terms.
But he has grown older over the years, his temper has not been as good as before, and he is even less willing to listen to others' arrangements.
During his visit to Jinzhou City, He Guangquan had told him many times not to offend Pei Xu, but to stay by his side and earn merit. Furthermore, their troops were stationed in Jinzhou City, so as their leader, it would be beneficial for him to visit and take a look.
But Pei Yunzhao offended Pei Xu as soon as he arrived, and then he indulged himself in pleasure in the house and never cared about the soldiers.
Pei Yunzhao knew that He Guangquan was probably furious and calling him a waste.
But he felt it was a good feeling.
If his deeds had not been exposed and Hu Dequan had not confronted him with irrefutable evidence, his life would have continued like this.
until--
After the emperor's death, his soldiers could appear with justification.
It’s a pity that he was exposed too early, and he had no way to refute it.
Pei Yunzhao didn't know how his father would deal with it, and he didn't care much.
He knew very well that his mother would not let him die.
He is his mother's only son and her only hope.
He thought a lot and became more confident, so he rejected Hu Dequan's kindness.
Hu Dequan might be right. As long as he was willing to bow his head, his father would forgive him, but this also meant that from then on, he would never have the chance to compete for the throne again.
Although he did not really want to be a good emperor and did not have any lofty political ambitions, not wanting something yourself and not being given something by others are two different concepts.
"Your Highness, are you okay? We're here to rescue you."
The rough voice interrupted Pei Yunzhao's thoughts and made him subconsciously look outside the door.
He didn't expect that anyone would come to save him. After all, many things were handled by He Guangquan, and he would not interfere.
Now that He Guangquan is not free just like him, the person who came to rescue him must not have been arranged by He Guangquan.
Pei Yunzhao felt complicated and didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness, please at least respond and let us know that you are fine."
The man spoke urgently, seeming unsure whether it was Pei Yunzhao in the room.
Pei Yunzhao found the voice unfamiliar, but he did not doubt it.
Because he doesn't even know his subordinates.
Except for the few people he often met when he was in the capital, he never showed up in Jinzhou City. Everything was arranged by He Guangquan.
At this moment, he remembered He Guangquan's kindness again, but he also knew that he was a bastard and had made He Guangquan very angry. He Guangquan was very loyal for not abandoning him at this juncture.
"I'm fine, you should go see Mr. He first."
Pei Yunzhao spoke in a very friendly manner. There was a reason for his arrangement.
The subordinates in Jinzhou City all deal with He Guangquan, and they must truly admire He Guangquan in their hearts.
"Your Highness, you should come out of your room and leave with us. Mr. He is just a scholar, and I don't think Eunuch Hu will make things difficult for him. But if you are detained here again, Mr. He will definitely be worried."
These people were not Pei Yunzhao's men, so they naturally would not go to see He Guangquan. If they met He Guangquan, they would be exposed.
Pei Yunzhao was stunned for a moment. He had never thought of leaving.
In his opinion, returning to the imperial city is just going home, what's wrong with that?
Even if he made a big mistake, just as he had thought before, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"Don't worry about me. I've already promised Eunuch Hu that I will go back with him."
Hu Dequan didn't expect that he was a man who kept his promises, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Although Pei Yunzhao said this, he still opened the door.
He folded his arms and looked at the people standing in front of the door.
"You are being too rude. What if you scare Eunuch Hu by meeting me in this way?"
Even if he made a mistake, he would still be the almighty Third Prince.
Hu Dequan was moved when he heard Pei Yunzhao's words.
He didn't expect that the third prince was still thinking about him at this time.
"Your Highness, I certainly didn't think this through. I apologize to Eunuch Hu."
After apologizing, the man changed the subject and said that Pei Yunzhao should leave with them.
"Your Highness, I have already apologized to Eunuch Hu. Could you please leave with us this time?"
After all, the apology was just a means to persuade Pei Yunzhao.
Eunuch Hu knew the truth and would not make a fuss about it.
He only hoped that Pei Yunzhao would refuse, otherwise he would fail in his mission and would inevitably have to bear the wrath of His Majesty.
"You can leave, but I have a question."
Pei Yunzhao nodded casually, looking nonchalant.
"Mr. He and I are now imprisoned in this yard. Who ordered you to rescue me?"
Pei Yunzhao was not really smart, and he doubted the other party's identity. He really couldn't figure it out.
He might not know as much about Jinzhou City as Hu Dequan.
The other party seemed to have anticipated Pei Yunzhao's words, so he smiled and replied, "Your Highness, although Mr. He cannot make arrangements right now, he will always leave a way out for Your Highness. Mr. He is truly doing this for Your Highness's own good."
This person also did not forget to say a good word for He Guangquan, which makes it even more difficult to doubt.
