Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2079: Annoyance

"What’s all the fuss about? Just a few servants, why report to the government? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, so that Father dislikes me even more? So that Empress Mother abandons me?"

The heavy accusation frightened the steward so much that he fell to the ground, kowtowing desperately, "Fourth Prince, spare me. That’s not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean? Knowing full well that Empress Mother has started to disdain me and has adopted Second Imperial Brother under her name, at this crucial time, I need to keep my head down more than ever, yet you think of reporting to the government? I think you want to ruin me, right?"

"No, no, Fourth Prince, you’ve misunderstood me. That’s not what I meant." The steward was terrified. Recently, he’s clearly felt significant changes in the Fourth Prince, perhaps because of the blow from losing his sight, his speech has become more gentle yet sinister, and he’s taken to wearing red clothes and wandering around at the Third Watch of the Night.

Several times, when he’s gotten up in the middle of the night to visit the toilet, he saw the Fourth Prince in a red robe, wandering around the mansion, which startled him. However, a master is always a master, and no matter how strange he finds it, he dares not speculate wildly.

Fourth Prince said fiercely, "Do not report to the government, understood?"

Steward: "Yes, I remember, sir."

Fourth Prince: "Do not speak of the missing servants to anyone else, lest it causes panic. If Father gets a bad impression of me, I’ll chop off your head."

The steward shivered: "I understand, Fourth Prince, rest assured, no one will know about this."

The Fourth Prince was satisfied: "Alright, you may retire."

"I take my leave."

After the steward exited, he closed the room’s door.

The Fourth Prince let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize the steward; otherwise, once the government office comes to investigate, the corpses in the dry well would surely be discovered, and even if they don’t catch him directly, suspicion would certainly fall on him.

He walked to a bronze mirror and slowly removed the eyepatch from his face. Where there was once only a black hole in his left eye, an eyeball was gradually growing out. However, as it’s not fully healed yet, the eyeball remained white. After a period of diligent practice, the eyeball would return to normal.

At that time, he would claim to have found a Divine Doctor who healed his eye, allowing him to seamlessly participate in the battle for succession.

A strange smile appeared on the Fourth Prince’s face, originally thinking his life was over, but who knew, facing death, Heaven allowed him to encounter his Master, thus embarking on his path to greatness once more.

Then, he would kill the Second Prince before Empress Mother and tell her that his position is irreplaceable.

War Prince’s Mansion, at the gate.

A luxurious carriage arrived at the gate, and curious passersby watched. To their surprise, they discovered it was the Fourth Prince’s carriage, naturally inducing their curiosity—hadn’t the Fourth Prince fallen out with the War Prince?

Why is the Fourth Prince visiting the War Prince’s Mansion again?

The Prime Minister’s residence is the Empress’s family, and also the Fourth Prince’s support. The War Prince killed the Prime Minister, cutting off Empress’s backing. Their enmity has reached a point of no return, a situation of life and death struggle. The Fourth Prince visiting the War Prince’s Mansion today, what’s the meaning of this, could he be stirring up trouble?

And so, some curious onlookers stopped to watch.

Not only did the passersby think this way, but even the guards at the gate thought so too. As soon as the Fourth Prince’s carriage stopped at the gate, they appeared extremely wary.

They knew clearly that not long ago, the War Prince’s Mansion was attacked by over a hundred assassins in the middle of the night, with the mastermind behind it being the Fourth Prince.
