"Hou Yi, what exactly are you going to do!?"

When Guan Zhuo sent someone to inform the third prince, Yuan Ji couldn't help but whisper to Hou Yi, and there was no trace of the past affection in his words.

Hou Yi said lightly: "What am I going to do? Yuan Shangshu should have guessed it. Don't blame me. I have no choice. If the second prince is still there, I will naturally follow your steps and follow the second prince to the death. But now the second prince has died suddenly, and I have to think about the future of me and my family."

"So, you sold us without hesitation?" Yuan Ji still couldn't bear his anger.

Zhao Ke's death had already made Yuan Ji very angry. As a result, he was betrayed by Hou Yi again, which almost made Yuan Ji fall into madness. In the past, he would not take Hou Yi seriously at all, and never thought that Hou Yi would be betray him, but he did not expect that Hou Yi's rebellion would come so quickly and so urgently.

It was not until this time that Yuan Ji realized that the alliance between him and Hou Yi seemed so loose that he could not withstand any impact.

"The Yuan Shangshu said something a little too much." Hou Yi said: "I am just to protect myself, not to mention that I have not betrayed anyone."

The two of them were talking in a low voice, and Guan Zhuo next to him could hear it clearly, but he didn't say anything. He didn't want to participate in the battle for the throne before, and he still didn't want to.

However, Guan Zhuo was not in a good mood either. After all, he was relatively optimistic about the second prince Zhao Ke before, and also hoped that the second prince Zhao Ke could ascend the throne and become emperor successfully, thus ending the chaotic state of their Yanfeng Kingdom.

Guan Zhuo did not expect that such an accident occurred at this time. Think about it carefully, perhaps this cannot be called an accident. After all, everyone knows that Zhao Ke’s situation is very good after he is released from prison. As long as other princes still have ideas about the throne, they will not be indifferent at this time.

Guan Zhuo just didn't expect that under the heavy protection, the second prince Zhao Ke still said that he was poisoned to death by the people around him.

Looking at the corpse that was gradually getting cold, Guan Zhuo felt full of worries.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the person behind this incident is the third prince, but the problem is that after Zhao Ke's death, the third prince is already the most likely person to ascend the throne, but he is most likely to be the murderer. Butler Zhao's confession will inevitably affect Zhao Lun's ascension to the throne. In this way, it is still difficult to achieve the problem of ending their vacancies in the Yanfeng Kingdom in a short time.

In other words, they are likely to fall into a state of headless dragons for a long time.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Originally, before the old emperor passed away, their Yanfeng Kingdom had already had internal and external troubles, with rebels rising inside and three empires eyeing them. The situation was quite unfavorable to them. But now, they were unable to determine the new emperor for a while, which obviously gave the rebels and the other three empires a chance. To be serious, their Yanfeng Kingdom might even be in a slump!

The reason why Guan Zhuo retreated and took the risk of releasing the second prince Zhao Ke was because he had heard the news. Recently, the rebels in their Yanfeng Kingdom have become more rampant, and the other three superpowers also showed signs of being dispatched, which made Guan Zhuo decide to violate the principles slightly and release Zhao Ke in advance.

It can be said that Zhao Ke’s wish is good, but unfortunately, Zhao Ke did not succeed in ascending the throne, nor did he end the civil strife in their Yanfeng Kingdom, but he died suddenly.

What should I do now?

Guan Zhuo, who has always been calm and resourceful, was deeply confused at this moment, and suddenly he could not see hope.

Zhao Ke died, the eldest prince fled, and the third prince was suspected of assassinating the second prince. It can be said that the three princes who were most likely and qualified to ascend the throne were almost wiped out. Guan Zhuo wanted to break his head, but he could not imagine that there would be any prince who could overwhelm everyone ascend the throne and end the civil strife in their Yanfeng Kingdom.

"Are you going to die in our Yanfeng Kingdom? "Are you looking at it?" Guan Zhuo felt sad and felt that there was a dead end in front of him.

At this time, the eldest prince Zhao Lun, who was suspected by everyone, was also very bad in his heart. He had already learned in advance what happened in Zhao Ke's mansion, including the confession of Butler Zhao!

Butler Zhao did not lie. He was indeed Zhao Lun's person, and he was the insider who was placed in Zhao Ke's mansion in his early years. At first, Zhao Lun did not expect much from Butler Zhao, and just hoped that Butler Zhao could spread some news. After all, when Butler Zhao first entered Zhao Ke's mansion, he was just an ordinary servant, and the information he could get was limited. Zhao Lun secretly prepared a lot of people like Butler Zhao and inserted them into the mansions of different princes. However, in the end, only Butler Zhao stood out and changed from a small servant to the second butler of Zhao's mansion. As for the others, they were still just ordinary servants.

The growth of Butler Zhao gave Zhao Lun a great surprise. This was his trump card, a trump card that almost no one knew. He never used this trump card. Until this time, he felt the huge threat from Zhao Ke, and then used this trump card.

Butler Zhao did not disappoint Zhao Lun and successfully poisoned Zhao Ke, but what annoyed Zhao Lun was that Butler Zhao was not very brave and could not resist the scaring at all. Guan Zhuo and the others were a little scared and told everything, which made Zhao Lun very angry.

But he was just angry. Zhao Lun was not desperate, because now everything was just a side of Butler Zhao. As long as he didn't admit it, Guan Zhuo and the others couldn't do anything to him.

Of course, this will inevitably affect his reputation and thus affect his ascension to the throne. However, in Zhao Lun's view, he no longer has any opponents in this imperial capital. Even if his reputation is damaged, the ministers will still support his ascension to the throne in the end, and can only support his ascension to the throne.

Moreover, Zhao Lun was not completely unprepared. He had a backup plan, but he didn't want to use this backup plan if he didn't use it.

"Your Highness, a person from the Ministry of Justice came outside and said he wanted to go to the second highness's mansion." The housekeeper in the mansion came to report.

"It's coming very quickly." Zhao Lun sneered: "Tell him, I'll clean up and go. My dear brother died suddenly. As a younger brother, I have to pay some condolences."

"Yes, Your Highness."
