I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

382 Conspiracy

This wasn’t because Lu Ze’s subordinates were incompetent, nor was it because he had underestimated his enemy. It was because Pei Qian had always been in charge of matters regarding the general’s residence.

The reason he arranged for two people to go over was that he was used to being in control of the situation.

However, to his surprise, this surveillance gave them some different information.

“Will anything happen?” Lin Suisui was a little worried. In her impression, Madam Pei wasn’t easy to deal with.

Of course, this was mainly because she was arrogant and domineering.

She was a woman who would do anything to achieve her goal, so who knew what trouble she would cause at the sacrificial ceremony this time?

“It’s fine.” Lu Ze rubbed the top of Lin Sui’s head as he comforted her in a low voice, “I’ll handle it. However, if you don’t have anything to do in the next few days, it’s best not to go out. Before we completely figure out the northern barbarians’ motive, it’s best to be careful.”

After hearing Lu Ze’s instructions, Lin Suisui nodded seriously.

She wasn’t really afraid of anything, but since the other party cared so much about this booklet, it was best for her to stay at home and copy it down just in case.

This way, even if she had no choice but to return this booklet or destroy it, she could still keep a copy.

With this plan in mind, she and Lu Ze began to get busy with their own matters for the next few days.

A few days later, Lu Ze brought her another piece of news.

When the two northern barbarian spies were interrogated again, they couldn’t help but reveal new information. This new information was very important to Lu Ze and the others.

To be honest, this matter was a long story.

The current Khan of the northern barbarians wasn’t a ruthless monarch. In his early years, he had participated in the protracted border war between the northern barbarians and the empire and had seen too many casualties.

However, after sacrificing so many people and paying such a huge price, neither side actually benefited from this war in the end.

The empire stopped trading with the northern barbarians and closed the trading border city, completely isolating the northern barbarians from them with the Great Wall.

The northern barbarians started the war because they coveted the empire’s prosperity and strength and wanted to obtain more wealth from the empire!

However, after a few years of war, not only did the northern barbarians not gain any benefits from this war, but their living environment also degraded because of the interruption of trade.

This outcome shocked Sr. Khan.

After the initial shock, he began to think of a way to resolve the matter. In the end, Sr. Khan learned that if he wanted to improve the living conditions of the northern barbarians, war definitely wouldn’t work.

Therefore, after Sr. Khan took over, the first decree he issued was to stop the war and focus on recovering.

He humbled himself and sent people to the empire’s Imperial City to seek peace.

Because the northern barbarians had a humble attitude and secondly, the empire couldn’t stand such continuous wars, the empire and the northern barbarians stopped fighting.

Although there was no big war between the northern barbarians and the empire after that, small-scale conflicts and confrontations had never stopped.

Even so, the lives of the ordinary people of the two races had improved greatly.

However, the balance that Sr. Khan had tried his best to maintain began to show signs of rupturing because of his old age and health.

After all, the grassland had been fertile for so many years and had accumulated a lot of wealth.

Sr. Khan’s eldest son was a very ambitious person. Unlike his father, he didn’t care about the lives of ordinary people. He only cared about whether he could expand his territory and have the entire empire under his feet.

However, this idea had never been supported by Sr. Khan.

Because of his son’s militarism, Sr. Khan even thought of passing the throne to his other gentler sons.

This wasn’t what the eldest son wanted to see.

Therefore, after realizing that his father didn’t want him to become a tyrant, he quickly concealed his true intentions and pretended to be a gentle and polite person.

This disguise lasted until now. Sr. Khan’s health deteriorated day by day, so he could finally put away his disguise and show his true colors.

“King Zadeh colluded with the shaman and blamed Sr. Khan’s illness on the fiendish demons.” When Pei Qian thought of what he had heard previously, he couldn’t help but want to laugh. “This so-called fiendish demon is someone from the empire cursing Sr. Khan.

Therefore, King Zadeh sent spies over with the goal of disturbing the border of the empire.

“What’s even more interesting is that King Zadeh only married the second princess consort at the beginning of the year. This second princess consort is actually a woman from the Siamese Kingdom’s royal family.”

“In that case, King Zadeh is colluding with the Siamese Kingdom?” When Lin Suisui heard Lu Ze’s words, she could guess the seriousness of the matter.

If King Zadeh became the new Khan and join forces with the Siamese Kingdom to target the empire, and war broke out in the north and south at the same time, then their empire…

“We can’t be sure about that yet. I’ve already asked Wei Qing to send a secret letter to his father and brother and ask them to investigate the recent movements in the southern border.” Lu Ze turned to look at Lin Sui. “Therefore, I’m wondering if these spies in the northern region have any direct connection with the previous troupe.”

“That’s hard to say.” After Lin Suisui thought about it, she felt that it was really possible.

The timing of this troupe’s appearance was too coincidental and coupled with what had happened to the hemp leaves previously, the situation was simply terrifying.

If they had not discovered this by accident and waited for the hemp leaves to spread further and destroy the entire Zhou family’s cavalry, how could they resist the northern barbarians’ prepared army with the strength of the northern region’s incompetent troops?

Wouldn’t the northern region fall into chaos, as King Zadeh wished?!

“I have a feeling that these two spies who brought patients to our medical center have other tricks up their sleeves.” Lin Suisui looked up at Lu Ze worriedly as she spoke in a low voice.
