The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010: 479 Handsome Man Scheme (First Update)

The moon was shrouded in darkness, the wind was fierce.

Capital City, due to a series of continuous battles, had plunged into a tense and guarded state. Yuan Tang had been hiding here and there in the City East for several days, like a rat crossing the street, living in a state of disgrace that he had never experienced before in all his years.

When Gu Jiao told him that his uncle, the Prince of Bo, was planning to rebel, he did not believe her. After all, his uncle was the most beloved legitimate son of the former emperor. When his father was still the crown prince of Chen Country, he had committed a serious crime. It was the Prince of Bo who had single-handedly exonerated his father, preserving his position as crown prince.

How could one not trust such an uncle, the Prince of Bo?

As for the Rong Family, his maternal family.

The daughter of the Rong Family, his mother, was the noble concubine of Chen Country, esteemed and superior to tens of thousands, merely waiting to be crowned empress and to be the mother of the nation.

The Prince of Bo, his uncle, had no marital relations with the Rong Family. Had the Rong Family lost their minds? To not help their own daughter and grandson, but instead assist an outsider?

He felt that Gu Jiao must have been mistaken, or perhaps she was maliciously trying to sow discord between him and his uncle, the Prince of Bo.

However, he had indeed harbored some suspicions, always instructing his people to pay attention to the royal family’s movements in Zhan Country. It was not until the emperor issued an order for his arrest that he realized the seriousness of the situation.

He managed to escape first.

And just a few days into his flight, news came from the frontiers that Chen Country’s army had pressured the borders, and Zhan Country had lost three cities in succession.

It was also at that moment that he finally understood that Gu Jiao had not deceived him. His uncle, the Prince of Bo, had truly revolted!

The emperor still ordered his capture, probably thinking that by capturing him, he could threaten Chen Country. But Gu Jiao was right, it wasn’t his father who had violated the treaty between the two nations; it was his uncle, the Prince of Bo.

So even if they killed him, his uncle wouldn’t blink an eye.

At this point for him, it was a checkmate situation.

He didn’t even know how his father was faring.

If his uncle, the Prince of Bo, dared to do such a thing, he must have seized control of the court, and it was even possible that he had placed his father under house arrest.

Thinking this, Yuan Tang’s face grew cold.

"Go look over there!"
