"Honored tutor Wang? What are they doing? " Dong Fang Su frowned, although he had been recuperating in his residence during the past few days, he did not leak any news of the situation inside the city. Sooner or later, Cai Yuan would tell him about the latest news from the Jinling, so he knew that Wang Liang and Jing Yu had once gone to the Yi Cui Shu to persuade Dong Fang Chuan to withdraw.

"They killed Wang Liang and kidnapped Jing Yu. The news of his death should be spread around Jinling soon."

Hearing that Wang Liang had been killed, Dong Fang Su's face became extremely serious, "What are they trying to do?" When he was shot previously, Mu Qian Xue's analysis had already allowed him to understand that behind every step that the group of oriental took, was a profound meaning.

"Because of the Yi Cui Shu." Under Dong Fang Su's puzzled gaze, Mu Qian Xue said slowly: "Wang Liang's appearance caused him to be forced to withdraw the people surrounding the Yi Cui Shu, but he was not willing to give up. He wanted to blame Wang Liang's death, and shift the blame onto the 'lost' Jing Yu, so that he could bring the entire Jinling's gaze back to the Yi Cui Shu!"

Dong Fang Su stared at that peerlessly beautiful face, and asked: "Who is the 'he' you spoke of?"

Mu Qian Xue could hear the tinge of a tremble hidden under his calmness. She knew that Yun Che had guessed a few things from his words, but... The truth was much more cruel than he had thought!

Mu Qian Xue took a sip of tea and suddenly asked: "How is the relationship between the Prince, the Duke Xin King and the Mu Wang?"

"You …"

"Mu Wang's character … Has it always been this impulsive? "

Dong Fang Su lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "That's not true, Ninth Brother used to have a calm personality. Just these two years, I don't know what happened, but he became more and more uncontrollable, and jumped a lot."

"These two years …" Mu Qian Xue repeated herself, raised her eyebrows and said: "So this means that the change in Mu Wang's personality started after she ascended the throne?"

Dong Fang Su heard that something was wrong, "What does Princess want to say?"

Mu Qian Xue looked at him deeply, and said seriously, "Has Prince ever carefully thought about why Emperor Cheng established the Emperor Zhou as a crown prince and passed down the position of Emperor to him?"

"Rationally?" The corner of Mu Qian Xue's mouth rose slightly, carrying a hint of mocking laughter. "I don't know what the situation is like, but what is logical … Emperor Zhou is not considered the eldest son of the Emperor Cheng. "

Dong Fang Su's eyes revealed a look of astonishment, and then he seemed to understand something, "You're referring to number nine?"

"That's right, the Nine King's mother is the husband and wife of the Emperor Cheng. In the end, the Empress Dowager Wei is still the successor, so the real eldest son should be the Nine King and not the Emperor Zhou."

"Although Ninth Brother's talent is not bad, he is still young and loves to move. Before Dong Fang Su even finished speaking, Mu Qian Xue had already caught up, "Then what about Camping, why is it that Emperor Cheng isn't willing to pass it down to Emperor Zhou?"

Dong Fang Su's pupils shrank slightly and his gaze locked onto Mu Qian Xue's face. He asked again, "What exactly does Princess want to say?"

Mu Qian Xue spread out her wide sleeves as the silver threads rolled about, and said with a sigh: "There are some things that I have always wanted to say to Prince, but have never known how to put it into words."

"What is it?" When he asked that question, Dong Fang Su felt an unexplainable sense of panic, and had the urge to leave the place.

"Emperor Cheng made the Emperor Zhou his Crown Prince not because of his status as the legitimate son, nor because of his temperament and abilities, but just because... Other than him, none of the princes will live to ascend to the throne, including you or the Nine Kings. "

Dong Fang Su's eyelids jumped, "How is that possible!?"

"As far as I know, there are five generals in this dynasty who were conferred the surname 'King' because of their outstanding military achievements. The Prince Pingyang married the young sister of the Empress Dowager Wei and the son of the Prince Fenyang married the niece of the Empress Dowager Wei. The other generals are more or less related to the Weiss family by marriage, am I right?" After Dong Fang Su nodded, she continued: "Think about the civil and military officials in the imperial court. Similarly, 67th of the people here are related to the Weiss family.

Dong Fang Su frowned, he had really not paid attention to these before, but now that he thought about it, it was exactly as Mu Qian Xue had said. Whether it was the civil and military officials or the nobles, all of them had the shadow of a Weiss family, "So what?"

Mu Qian Xue said seriously: "The Xu, Li, Wei, and Nangong Families, followed the Great Ancestor Emperor down Dazhou more than a hundred years ago, and after that, the other three clans fell to the ground successively, leaving behind only the Weiss family. They flourished with people and each generation surpassed the last, but their strength was not as great as it is now, and twenty odd years ago, the Weiss family suffered a great calamity and their foundation for a hundred years was almost destroyed."

After speaking so much in one breath, Mu Qian Xue was slightly out of breath. After calming herself down, she slowly said, "Twenty odd years ago, when Emperor Cheng had just ascended the throne, someone poisoned her and her life, causing her to be in danger. When the young couple of Emperor Cheng and First Queen, Jays, found out about this matter, they were naturally enraged and ordered to search the palace. When a palace maid who served in Imperial Concubine Wei's palace all those years ago, after he grew old, he was sent out of the palace. Because his hometown no longer had any relatives, he stayed in Jinling to help the girl from the brothel while he hung out his face.

"Although under the meticulous treatment of the Imperial Physician, the previous Emperor managed to turn the situation around, the Emperor Cheng still intended to put Imperial Concubine Wei to death. However, just before the decree was passed down, the Emperor Cheng accidentally found out that the person who poisoned the person was someone else, and Imperial Concubine Wei was framed."

"After finding out that she wronged Imperial Consort Wei, Emperor Cheng released her and released her as well as the rest of the Wechsler's clansmen. However, Imperial Concubine Wei's mother was not able to walk out of the prison alive, and when something happened, she was infected by an illness that no one paid attention to, causing her to become more and more serious. The moment before the Emperor Cheng was released, the Imperial Concubine Wei was stricken with grief and illness due to her mother's illness.
