Chapter 168: Disruption!
Chapter 168: Disruption!
"What? Xiao Chenfeng was called back by the Emperor?"
"He actually killed a demon king and saved Beihuang City?"
"How is this possible? You must be lying to this prince, right?"
When Xiao Yuxuan got the news, he questioned his subordinates like a madman. His eyes were bloodshot and looked extremely ferocious!
"Your Highness! It's absolutely true!"
Looking at the crazy Xiao Yuxuan, the reporting guard couldn't help but tremble with fear, his eyes filled with terror!
"Damn it! Why? Why?"
"Why was even that loser Xiao Chenfeng called back to the royal city? Why was even he crowned king?"
"How exactly is this prince inferior to him?"
"This prince is the most gifted scholar in the Great Yan Dynasty in the past hundred years!"
"Why did Father see this? Why did Father treat me like this?"
……
Xiao Yuxuan knocked over everything around him and angrily questioned the guard in front of him, which scared the guard so much that he trembled all over like a sieve!
"Why don't you speak? Are you afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me? Why?"
"Pfft~~~"
The next second, the guard looked at the dagger stuck in his chest with an expression of disbelief, and then lost his life with unwillingness!
“Haha ...
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Xiao Yuxuan's crazy laughter spread throughout the mansion, which made the guards in the mansion show a hint of horror!
Ever since he was summoned back to this royal city from Beiling City, Xiao Yuxuan completely lost his status. Because of him, Xiao Lintian’s most trusted eunuch Xiao died in Beiling City!
This naturally made Xiao Lintian completely disappointed in Xiao Yuxuan, and then Xiao Yuxuan was confined to his own mansion. He was afraid that he would never be able to leave in his life!
Even though Xiao Yuxuan is extremely talented in literature, he is still a chess piece that can be discarded at will by the royal family, because Xiao Yuxuan's identity is not irreplaceable!
"Seventh Prince! What are you doing?"
Just after Xiao Yuxuan killed the guard, a voice made Xiao Yuxuan tremble all over, and then he slowly raised his head and looked towards the person who came!
"Murong Yunfeng?"
Xiao Yuxuan wiped the blood off his body, then sat down on the ground. "Aren't you going to avenge your daughter yourself? What are you doing in this prince's mansion?"
"Yes! This old minister really wants to avenge his daughter personally, so I came to see His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Murong Yunfeng's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Yuxuan's face. He didn't quite understand what Murong Yunfeng meant!
"Seventh Prince, you are also a smart man!"
"Xiao Chenfeng wasn't the only one who killed this old minister's daughter!"
"Are you talking about the third and ninth brothers?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuxuan's eyes narrowed slightly. It was true that it was Xiao Chenfeng who killed Murong Yan'er, but it was the third prince Xiao Jue and the ninth prince Xiao Chuyu who caused the Murong family to be unjustly imprisoned!
If the Third Prince Xiao Jue and the Ninth Prince Xiao Chuyu had not framed the Murong family and Xiao Chenfeng for treason, the Murong family would not have been wrongly imprisoned, and Murong Yan'er would naturally not have died!
"So, what is the purpose of Marquis Wu'an coming to see me?"
"I beg the Seventh Prince to lend me a helping hand!"
Murong Yunfeng knelt down directly in front of Xiao Yuxuan: "As long as the Seventh Prince is willing to help this old minister, this old minister is willing to help His Highness the Seventh Prince seize the throne and clear all obstacles for His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
"Marquis Wu'an, you can't say such things carelessly!"
Hearing Murong Yunfeng's words, Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but flash a trace of panic on his face, but he could see a hint of ecstasy in his eyes;
"This prince is now confined to this palace and cannot even leave. How can I help you?"
"I think Marquis Wu'an has found the wrong person!"
Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh and said, "This prince is really powerless!"
"Seventh Prince, there's no need to underestimate yourself!"
Murong Yunfeng looked at Xiao Yuxuan and slowly said, "Everyone knows that His Highness the Seventh Prince is the most gifted scholar in the Great Yan Dynasty in the past hundred years. He is truly the future of the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"You are confined here because His Majesty the Emperor is incompetent and confused. He cannot see the good in His Highness the Seventh Prince. Compared to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, you, the Seventh Prince, are the only one who can inherit the throne!"
Xiao Yuxuan felt so comfortable with Murong Yunfeng's flattery that he even felt like he was floating in the air!
"Marquis Wu'an is truly embarrassing this prince!"
For a moment, Xiao Yuxuan's attitude towards Murong Yunfeng changed from the initial indifference to extremely enthusiastic, as if he had met a close friend over a drink!
"Every word the old minister said is true!"
"With the Seventh Prince's talent, the Ninth Prince only needs to raise his hand and all the officials in the court will respond. You are the emperor they want!"
Murong Yunfeng knelt directly in front of Xiao Yuxuan, and then said seriously: "This old minister earnestly requests His Highness the Seventh Prince to work hard for the future of the Great Yan Dynasty and rebuild the government!"
"This old minister is willing to fight for His Highness the Seventh Prince, devoting himself to his work until his death!"
After hearing Murong Yunfeng's words, Xiao Yuxuan's face was also somewhat moved. Then he sighed slightly: "But this prince really has no power!"
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, there is no need to belittle yourself!"
"I know that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has a team of War Kings. As long as His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince commands this team, I promise to take His Royal Highness back to the palace in three days!"
"How...how do you know about the War King Army?"
Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. The War King Army was his last trump card. No one knew about the existence of this army. Why?
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince! If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
"I, your Highness, am well aware of your ambitions. You are the future of the Great Yan Dynasty, and now is your only chance to seize the opportunity!"
Murong Yunfeng said solemnly, "Perhaps His Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't know that His Majesty summoned Xiao Chenfeng back to the royal city. Everything behind this was instructed by the Third Prince!"
"In order to escape the death row in the royal city, I had no choice but to join the Third Prince's camp. However, I know that the Third Prince is not a wise ruler!"
"For the past few months, I've been playing both sides with the Third and Seventh Princes, and I've finally learned of their plans. If they succeed this time, I'm afraid they'll be on the verge of success!"
"What? What on earth is the Third Brother going to do?"
After hearing Murong Yunfeng's words, Xiao Yuxuan could no longer remain calm. After all, he knew very well what Murong Yunfeng meant by "success".
But it was precisely because of this that his heart was completely confused!
