Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 377 Your Highness, I am terrified

San Yisheng, who was standing by, heard the servant's words, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at Ji Fa and said slowly:

"Second Prince, this matter is of great importance."

"We should thoroughly investigate the truth, find out the murderer who dared to murder His Highness, and bring him to justice to comfort His Highness's spirit in heaven."

When Ji Fa heard this, his body trembled slightly, and an expression of sadness and solemnity that was difficult to conceal emerged on his handsome face.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm the waves in his heart, then nodded slowly, with a barely perceptible sob in his voice:

"Doctor San, you are right. This matter is of great importance and must be investigated thoroughly. I will leave this matter to you and make sure you get to the bottom of it."

Upon hearing this, San Yisheng bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to fulfill my mission."

Ji Fa thought for a moment and continued:

"Also, immediately send someone to the place where the two armies are fighting to inform the Prime Minister of the tragic news that my brother has been poisoned to death."

"However... we need to carefully consider how to convey this bad news to the Prime Minister, so as not to affect the morale of the army."

"Don't worry, Second Prince. The Prime Minister has always been resourceful and far-sighted. He will definitely not let this news affect the overall situation." San Yisheng responded.

Ji Fa nodded gently. Then, he explained the current situation and turned his attention to Bo Yikao, who lay lifeless on the bed.

For some reason, looking at the brother he grew up with, he did not feel too sad. Instead, he felt only excitement and anticipation for reaching the pinnacle of power.

"Brother, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. If you want to blame someone, blame your status as the eldest son."

"Without you, my brother would definitely lead the soldiers of Xiqi to destroy the Shang Dynasty and unify the world." Ji Fa said secretly in his heart, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He knew that he possessed talent and wisdom that was no less than anyone else's, but he had always been overshadowed by Bo Yikao's brilliance.

Now, Ji Fa finally had a chance to prove himself. He wanted everyone to see that he, Ji Fa, was the one who could truly lead Xiqi to glory.

Jifa took a deep breath and tried to put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He walked slowly to Bo Yikao's side and gently stretched out his hand, trying to smooth his frown.

However, when his fingers touched the cold skin, he couldn't help but shiver slightly.

"Brother, have a good sleep." Jifa said in a low voice, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his voice.

San Yisheng stood quietly by the side, watching all this, not knowing what to feel.

"Second Prince, I suggest that the matter of finding out the truth should not be done in a high-profile manner, but should be done in secret."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fa raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked up and glanced at everyone in the tent, and said in a deep voice:

"Before Prime Minister Jiang returns, no word of my brother's death from poisoning can leak out. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

When everyone in the tent heard this, they were all startled and lowered their heads, not daring to look Jifa in the eye.

Jifa's gaze lingered on everyone for a moment, and finally fell on San Yisheng who was standing aside.

He slowly walked up to San Yisheng and said softly:

"Doctor San, you are the person my father once trusted the most. I will also ask you to stabilize the morale of the army."

San Yisheng nodded in agreement and bowed respectfully, "I will follow the Second Prince's orders."

Ji Fa nodded with satisfaction. He knew that San Yisheng was a reliable person.

But in order to ensure that everything went well, he decided to give a few more instructions:

"Doctor San, the current situation is very delicate. The cause of my brother's death is still unknown. We cannot let any disturbance affect the morale of the army."

"You must pay close attention to the developments in the military camp. If you discover anything unusual, report it to me immediately."

"I understand." San Yisheng responded solemnly.

"Alright," Ji Fa took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "You all can leave first. Doctor San, please stay. I have something else to discuss with you."

After hearing this, everyone bowed and left. Soon, only Ji Fa and San Yisheng were left in the tent.

Ji Fa looked at San Yisheng, and his expression softened a little:

"Doctor San, you have followed my father for many years and you are very familiar with the situation and people's hearts in Xiqi. Who do you think was responsible for my brother's death?"

San Yisheng frowned upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:

"Second Prince, this matter is very complicated. The First Prince is now the confirmed successor to the Great Zhou. His sudden death will undoubtedly cause an uproar in the army and may even shake the foundation of the entire Xiqi."

"I don't know who has the ability to attack Your Highness, and I don't know what kind of conspiracy and conflict of interest is hidden behind such an act."

Ji Fa listened quietly to San Yisheng's analysis, his eyes deep and meaningful.

"Doctor San's words make sense," Ji Fa finally spoke in a deep and magnetic voice, "However, according to your analysis, the one who will benefit the most from this is me, Your Highness."

When San Yisheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

The Second Prince has always been deep-minded and difficult to guess. Is his words now a test, or does they have some other meaning?

"Your Highness, you are too kind," San Yisheng calmed down and responded with a smile, "You and Your Highness are brothers from the same mother. You can doubt anyone but yourself, right?"

"Your Highness is kind and generous, and Your Highness is wise and intelligent. Brothers are united and their strength is strong. How could you harbor resentment for a little power?"

Jifa smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to contain endless profound meaning:

"Doctor San is really good at talking, but perhaps I am not as good as you say."

His tone was calm, yet it carried an indescribable majesty that froze the atmosphere in the entire tent.

San Yisheng was slightly shocked when he heard this. He quickly adjusted his mentality and responded respectfully:

"I am terrified. When the late king was alive, he often praised the Second Prince for being a brotherly friend, respectful and wise."

"I firmly believe that the late king's vision was not wrong."

"Haha, Doctor San is indeed a man favored by the emperor. Even his words are so flawless."

"However, you are right. My brother and I are brothers from the same mother. We are connected by blood, so naturally there will be no conflicts of interest."

"Okay, Doctor San, you can leave first. By the way, tell the soldiers stationed in the camp not to let in even a mosquito without my order."

Upon hearing this, San Yisheng bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

After saying this, he turned and left the tent, his steps steady and solemn.

However, before leaving, San Yisheng looked back at Bo Yikao lying on the couch, sighed in his heart, and his eyes revealed a bit of worry and helplessness.

He knew that although the prince was gentle and polite in his daily life, he was bound to become a target of calculation in the vortex of the royal power struggle.

San Yisheng walked out of the tent, gently closed the curtain, and whispered a few words to the soldiers waiting outside, emphasizing Ji Fa's oral instructions, ordering them to guard strictly and not slack off in the slightest.

The soldiers looked solemn and nodded in agreement. They were well aware that the situation was tense at the moment and any disturbance could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Inside the tent, Ji Fa sat quietly beside the bed, his eyes deep. He reached out and gently held Bo Yikao's cold hand, muttering to himself:

"Brother, let your younger brother accompany you tonight."
