Chapter 166: The Imperial Court’s Secret Disturbance (3)
Speaking of the eldest prince, Yin Moxuan sighed helplessly: "You also know that the eldest prince has always been a benevolent and indisputable person, and he doesn't care about the throne at all. Because of what Concubine Xian said, she spends these days praying for the emperor in the imperial temple. I persuaded the old prime minister repeatedly, but refused to come forward, and said that Su Yuanye is more suitable to be emperor than him."

Ru Jin listened quietly and probably knew what was going on.After being reborn, she also inquired a little about the court affairs.

There are currently six princes in the Holy Spirit, and the ones who are most likely to be crowned princes are the eldest prince and the third prince.The eldest prince Su Yuanxuan, born of a prince, is known as benevolent, but he is too kind.The third prince, Su Yuanye, has fought many battles with General Chang Sheng in recent years. He is brave and resourceful, and he is the most suitable person to inherit the throne, but he is the son of Concubine Hua Gui.Yulong Kingdom has always had the rule of setting up a heir but not a concubine, and setting up a senior but not an inferior, so the position of the crown prince has been suspended for a long time and has not been established.

Listening to Yin Moxuan's words, it means that the current sage is seriously ill, and the ministers of the court support the third prince as the crown prince.The old grand master and the old prime minister opposed it, both of them were important ministers, and if they could temporarily suppress the ministers, they could not hold them for a long time.Moreover, Su Yichen and Yin Moxuan wanted to support the first prince as the crown prince, which made Rujin a little puzzled, why they didn't want to support the third prince as the crown prince?Could it be because the eldest prince is the queen's son, and the queen is Su Yichen's aunt?
Yin Moxuan looked at Su Yichen's slightly cold face, sighed, and said, "Chen, if the great prince also supports the Third Prince, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop him..."

Listening to Yin Moxuan's words, Ru Jin also looked at Su Yichen, seeing his expression, her heart paused slightly, thinking of the dream that night, she felt a little distressed.With a twinkle in her beautiful eyes, she suddenly remembered that the new emperor in her previous life was not the eldest prince, nor the third prince, but the second prince!
The second prince, Su Yuanjun, whose birth mother Yue Guifei was deeply loved by Lafayette, but died of illness after giving birth to Su Yuanjun. Lafayette loved the house and house, and raised Su Yuanjun by him until his death. Jun entrusted to the queen.

The empress also has a relationship with Concubine Yue, so she took good care of the second prince.The second prince is very humble and rarely shows off on weekdays, so the eyes of the Holy Majesty, the court officials and the people are not on him.The second prince's ascension to the throne in the previous life was extremely unexpected by the people of Yulong Kingdom, and most of them didn't know the specific reasons for it.

After hearing Yin Moxuan's words, Su Yichen's face became even colder, but because of his mother and concubine, he didn't speak.

"Can you tell me the reason why you don't want to make the third prince the crown prince?" Ru Jin asked Su Yichen, she wanted to know the reason first.

Su Yichen eased the coldness on his face, looked at Rujin, became gentle and pampering, frowned and said: "Although Su Yuanye is capable of writing and martial arts, and has great strategies, but he is too ruthless."

Rujin's eyes flickered slightly: "The third prince is too ruthless?"

Yin Moxuan nodded: "Yes." His eyes looked a little deep: "When Su Yuanye was seven years old, I entered the palace with Chen, and I accidentally saw a cat raised by Concubine Hua tear Su Yuanye's clothes, He actually had the cat's teeth pulled out, its limbs broken, and the cat's skin was skinned with his own hands, the little Nian Jing was so vicious..." After a pause, he continued: "Two years ago, I also caught him abusing a young maid, and in the end she was killed by the head of Siyiku."

Ru Jin listened, her beautiful eyes paused slightly, a little frightened, she never thought that the third prince is such a vicious person, a seven-year-old child can skin a cat alive!Afterwards, I was a little disappointed again, the third prince is not the only vicious person in the world!
"Have you been scared, girl?" Yin Moxuan asked with a slight smile.

Rujin raised her eyes, shook her head, and asked again: "What's wrong with the Holy One?"

Both Su Yichen and Yin Moxuan's eyes flashed, and they shook their heads: "The imperial physicians in the palace can't diagnose the emperor's illness."

"Even the imperial physician in the palace can't diagnose the emperor's illness..." Ru Jin repeated with her eyes narrowed, trying to recall what she heard in her previous life, maybe it will be helpful to her now.

"Yes, more than 20 days ago, the emperor suddenly fell ill. He was lying on the bed and could not move or speak. There was no sign of poisoning. The imperial physicians tried their best, but they could not cure the emperor." Yin Moxuan said worriedly. They tried their best to conceal the illness of the Holy Majesty, but it still more or less spread to the court.

Su Yichen looked at Rujin, saw her thinking slightly, her phoenix eyes flashed, he knew exactly how smart Jin'er was, and Jin'er was an outsider, if he explained the ins and outs of the matter to her , she might be able to hear something strange.

Thinking about it, he turned to Rujin and said, "Jin'er, did Xiao Kang enter Shengjing with you?"

Rujin regained his composure, and shook his head: "Second Cousin, don't rush to leave the second day after you leave."

Su Yichen's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it, and said indifferently: "Xiao Kang is from Su Yuanye."

"The second cousin belongs to the third prince?" Rujin couldn't believe it, Xiao Kang was just the son of a businessman, how could he have anything to do with the royal family!After a pause, I thought of myself... and thought that things in the world are changing, and it is impossible for Xiao Kang to have a relationship with the third prince... Then I vaguely remembered that Xiao Kang had indeed lived in Shengjing for a few years. The three princes knew each other.

"Jin'er still remembers that I had no intention of saving you at that time." Seeing Rujin nodded, he continued: "At that time, I was going to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the people who secretly communicated with Su Yuanye, and I suspected it was the Xiao family. Sure enough, the result of the investigation pointed directly at Xiao Kang."

"But...how did the second cousin get involved with the third prince?"

"Let me talk about it." Yin Moxuan hurriedly said, "You must be wondering what this villa is for, right?" Without waiting for Rujin to answer, he said again: "This villa was built by the Emperor Chen Feng and I five years ago. It was built in the dark to cultivate shadows. Shadows refer to the Jinyi guards outside. They are all unrelated people, and Chen and I are the shadow masters and shadow masters of shadows respectively. He Chen established the shadow because the emperor noticed that the third prince and General Chang Sheng had changed five years ago, but there was no evidence to move them. Therefore, Chen and I were asked to secretly investigate the third prince and General Chang Sheng, and establish a shadow. Prepare for emergencies."

After taking a sip of tea, he said again: "Since then, Chen and I have been secretly monitoring the Third Prince and General Chang Sheng, but the two of them are extremely cautious in doing things, so that people can't catch their mistakes, and they are also very patient. We waited for nearly five years. Until half a year ago, we discovered that the third prince and General Chang Sheng had close contacts with the court officials, and we noticed something was wrong. We did a secret investigation and found that the third prince often entered a business in Shengjing to withdraw bank notes. And that shop was built by the Xiao family in Jiangnan, and it was related to most of the shops in Shengjing, which almost blocked all the shops in Shengjing. Therefore, Chen rushed to Jiangnan to investigate the Xiao family, and found that Xiao Kang, the second son of the Xiao family, and the third son The prince has always been in contact. After investigating Xiao Kang, he learned that Xiao Kang was seriously ill at the age of seven and went to Shengjing for treatment. By chance, he met the third prince. The third prince invited an imperial doctor to treat Xiao Kang. Two years later, Xiao Kang recovered from his illness, but he didn't know where he was going, and after another five years, he returned to Jiangnan and lived a very ordinary life."
