Chapter 169: The situation is in turmoil!
Chapter 169: The situation is in turmoil!
There is no doubt that Murong Yunfeng's words made Xiao Yuxuan's heart completely confused!
Originally, Crown Prince Xiao Li, Third Prince Xiao Jue, and Seventh Prince Xiao Yuxuan were the three most likely candidates to inherit the throne among the many princes!
However, now, because of a wrong step, he was confined to his own mansion, so he became distant from that place!
It was precisely because of his early exit that the original three-way confrontation turned into a battle between dragon and tiger. The fight for the throne between Crown Prince Xiao Li and Third Prince Xiao Jue would surely become more intense!
But now, because of the beast tide in the Northern Wilderness, Xiao Chenfeng has returned to the royal city, and this seems to be turning into a three-way confrontation!
"Your Majesty the Seventh Prince!"
Murong Yunfeng couldn't help but sigh deeply, then slowly said, "Xiao Chenfeng is a variable in the succession to the throne. No one knows what his connection is with that powerful Fate Realm expert."
"The Third Prince didn't want this variable to exist, and coupled with the hatred between Xiao Chenfeng and this old minister, this is why this old minister was pushed out!"
"This time, the Third Prince not only wants to get rid of Xiao Chenfeng and the old minister, he also wants to get rid of the Crown Prince, and even you, the Seventh Prince..."
Having said this, Murong Yunfeng immediately revealed an expression of deep sorrow, which made Xiao Yuxuan's face become extremely ugly!
"Does the Third Brother dare?"
"How could he dare to do such a thing now that my father's hundred-year life has not yet arrived?"
Xiao Yuxuan didn't quite believe what Murong Yunfeng said, but he had to believe it, because if the third brother really dared to do so, then everything would be too late!
"At first, I didn't believe that the Third Prince would dare to do such a thing, but..."
Murong Yunfeng paused, then said, "But don't forget, the Third Prince's biological mother is the Empress. Although the Third Prince is not the Empress's biological son, he is the son of the Empress's sister!"
"The Queen's maternal family is determined to support the Third Prince's ascension to the throne. They can't wait any longer. What's more, the Third Prince controls the Royal City's Imperial Guards and the Fiery Battalion!"
"this......"
Murong Yunfeng's words gradually broke through Xiao Yuxuan's psychological defenses, which was equivalent to putting Xiao Yuxuan on the fire, putting him at risk of being burned to death at any time!
The Royal City Forbidden Army, the Fiery Camp, the Royal City Army, and the Night Patrol Guards are the four powerful armies that protect the Royal City, and they are also the four most powerful armies of the Great Yan Dynasty!
The Third Prince controlled two of the armies, and the Empress's mother's family was the main branch of the Zhennan King.
The King of Zhennan might not be a threat, but his lineage had an ancestor who was a peak Yin-Yang realm expert in the Imperial Mausoleum.
If Xiao Jue really planned to do something, and also got the support of the person in the imperial mausoleum, I'm afraid everything that happened later would be a foregone conclusion!
And with Xiao Jue's style of doing things, he would definitely not give any other prince a chance to turn things around. At that time, he might even secretly attack himself, which would make him a dead end!
"My Lord! What should this prince do?"
At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan could no longer care about so many things. He was now confined to this mansion, but it was impossible for him to sit and wait for death. He could only place his hopes on Murong Yunfeng!
"Seventh Prince! I'm afraid the only way to stop the Third Prince is to unite with the Crown Prince!"
"Alliance with the Crown Prince? No way!"
Without even thinking about it, Xiao Yuxuan directly refused. Joining forces with the prince would undoubtedly be like courting disaster. The prince and he were already on opposite sides!
If he joins forces with the prince to deal with Xiao Jue, the prince will probably regard him as a thorn in his side in the blink of an eye. Given his current situation, he will only become a fish on the chopping board!
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, cooperation is fake, and profiting from it is real!"
"How to say?"
"Your Highness, just hand over the War King Army to me, and I will go to the Crown Prince to discuss cooperation!"
Murong Yunfeng said slowly, "When the time comes, I will trick the Crown Prince into handing over the military power to me. Then I will just need to mediate and cause a fight between the Crown Prince's forces and the Third Prince's forces!"
"Just wait until both sides are defeated, and then the Seventh Prince can just sit back and reap the benefits!"
"That's a good plan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and his expression softened as he looked at Murong Yunfeng. He then directly made a promise;
"Marquis Wu'an, if this prince can really accomplish his goal, you will be a meritorious official for all eternity, and the most powerful official in Dayan will be you, Marquis Wu'an!"
"Your Highness! I only want to avenge my daughter. Please give me the opportunity to kill my enemy!"
Murong Yunfeng knelt on the ground with his knees, his eyes full of hatred, which made Xiao Yuxuan feel relieved.
A person who only wants to avenge his daughter is the easiest to control. Xiao Yuxuan is naturally very happy to help Murong Yunfeng fulfill this wish!
"My Lord, please get up quickly!"
Xiao Yuxuan quickly helped Marquis Wu'an up, then said solemnly, "Please rest assured, my Lord. Your enemies are my enemies. As long as you say the word, I will never refuse your wish!"
"Then this old minister would like to thank His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
Afterwards, Xiao Yuxuan directly handed the military order to mobilize the War King's Army to Murong Yunfeng, and then personally sent Murong Yunfeng out of the mansion!
"Your Highness, if you give him the War King Army now, then..."
"Do you think this prince would be so stupid?"
Xiao Yuxuan glanced indifferently at the personal guard beside him, then slowly said, "Do you really think that this prince's only trump card is the War King Army?"
"Go, deliver this letter to the blacksmith shop in the western suburbs of the royal city. The real show is about to begin. This show is extremely exciting, and this prince absolutely cannot miss it!"
.........
After Murong Yunfeng left the Seventh Prince's residence, he immediately went to the Crown Prince's residence, and only came out of the Crown Prince's residence after about an hour.
Then he went to the Third Prince's mansion, and it took him a full half hour to walk out of the Third Prince's mansion. Finally, he began to walk towards the Ninth Prince's mansion!
As for Murong Yunfeng's whereabouts from beginning to end, only one person knew, and that was the ninth prince Xiao Chuyu!
"Lord Murong, you really made me wait so long!"
Xiao Chuyu was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. Seeing Murong Yunfeng coming, he also poured him a cup: "This is the new ice spirit tea released by the Great Cold Dynasty this year! Try it!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince!"
Murong Yunfeng walked into the pavilion and sat down. Then he picked up the teacup on the stone table and started drinking. Suddenly, a cold breath spread throughout his body, making him feel a lot more comfortable!
"My Lord! How is the matter going?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Ninth Prince! The situation has been completely messed up. Everything is just as Your Highness the Ninth Prince expected!"
