Chapter 43: Snatch



The Prince of Yan and the Emperor were born of the same mother. The Prince of Yan was smart and clever, and was extremely favored in his time. However, on the Lantern Festival more than ten years ago, the Emperor, who was still a prince, took the young Prince of Yan out of the palace to play, and he was the only one who came back late at night.

The late emperor was furious and wanted to punish the emperor after this incident. It was only when the empress dowager threatened him with death that the punishment was stopped.

A few years ago, it was said that Prince Yan had recovered his memory and returned to the palace. Since then, Your Majesty has been extremely indulgent towards Prince Yan as if to make up for his mistakes.

This was something that everyone knew, and no one had thought deeply about it because there was a huge age gap between the Prince of Yan and the emperor, and there was no possibility of them competing for the throne. So no one thought that it was the emperor who harmed the Prince of Yan. In addition, there were several princes who were as good at civil and military affairs as those who were vying for the throne, which made people's attention shift to the other princes.

"Royal brother, what nonsense are you talking about? What happened back then was my negligence, but haven't I compensated you now?" Emperor Wen said with great sorrow, as if he was wronged.

"Compensation? Just let me be a villager for more than ten years? If I hadn't been so smart and remembered my childhood memories, I would never have known that I was actually the prince of Tianqi Kingdom. I would never have thought that my brother who treated me so well back then would actually deceive me and let me be abducted!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was stunned.

[666! This is the true turning point, a life of hard work and perseverance!]

[The royal family's secrets were revealed so openly. It seems that the King of Yan is not going to leave a way out for himself! ]

[If it were me, I wouldn't risk everything and give up the throne. Wouldn't it be better to be a free and easy prince? ]

[So this is what the host meant when he said the show would start! ]

Hearing the Prince of Yan's confident words, Emperor Wen certainly did not admit it. He snorted coldly and said to the Imperial Guards who entered the hall, "Come here, take down the Prince of Yan!"

After he finished speaking, no one responded. Emperor Wen was a little bit unbelievable. The Imperial Guards were directly under the emperor, but now they were disobedient. This was the work of Prince Yan!

"Haha! Royal brother, you can shout as much as you want. If anyone moves, I lose. Don't forget that the Imperial Guards are the elite among the elites. They prefer to serve a powerful monarch. Royal brother, you are old and not as good as before. It's time for you to retire!" King Yan said arrogantly.

Emperor Wen's face suddenly turned pale, his anger obvious.

Then, as if he remembered something, he turned his head

Look in the direction of Murong Yanche.

"Prince, the Imperial Guards are under your control, quickly capture these people!"

"No hurry! I also have something to ask you!" Murong Yanche stood up and said slowly to Emperor Wen.

"What do you want to ask?" Emperor Wen really didn't expect Murong Yanche to have something to ask him at this time, so he asked anxiously.

"Does my mother's death have anything to do with you?" he asked seriously.

"Isn't your mother alive and well?" Emperor Wen frowned at that moment.

"That woman is not my mother, you know very well, she is just the queen consort."

Emperor Wen's thoughts turned quickly, and then he showed a trace of sadness to Murong Yanche, "Your mother died of illness that year, and the Imperial Hospital was unable to help. I also did my best. As for the fact that you killed her, my son, please don't take it to heart."

Killed?

Luo Fanjin frowned. She didn't expect that there were so many secrets in the royal family.

"No wonder the Crown Prince was almost deposed back then. It was his mother's family who wrote a petition and voluntarily withdrew from the government that resolved the matter. Now it seems there are other secrets involved!"

"Keep your voice down! Don't let the prince hear you, or you'll lose your official position!" someone whispered.

She had heard about the prince's unlucky behavior in the past two days. It was probably that anyone who came into contact with Murong Yanche would be unlucky for a while.

This is almost the same as a jinx! Then the close contact she had with Murong Yanche during the fight might have played a role!

Thinking of this, Luo Fanjin lowered her head, looked at her hands, and felt very regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would never have practiced martial arts with Murong Yanche.

Looking at Emperor Wen who was no longer calm on the high platform, his eyes were filled with tears as he spoke. Even Luo Fanjin wanted to applaud him. Being able to lie with open eyes is something not everyone can do.

"Let me tell you! Your mother was also killed by him, but because your mother's family was so powerful, he couldn't do it openly. Otherwise, how could he use the name of being killed by you to place officials under his control in positions?" The King of Yan said this unbelievable words.

Murong Yanche did not look at Prince Yan, but met the gaze of Emperor Wen.

"Is what he said true?" the voice asked.

"Humph, that's just nonsense!"

Emperor Wen shook his sleeves and spoke righteously.

At this point, Murong Yanche no longer needed to identify the cause of his mother's death. He had always suspected it, but he never thought that his biological father would harm his wife for power and even took it out on him.

"It seems that all these years, I have been worried and afraid that my physical condition would hurt you, but it was all just wishful thinking! Father has been prepared for this matter in his heart, so he doesn't want to touch me!"

As Murong Yanche spoke, he took a few steps back with a look of despair in his eyes.

Luo Fanjin observed that the mockery in his eyes was not directed at Emperor Wen alone, but seemed to be directed at himself as well.

"In that case, Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you still willing to help such a foolish, selfish monarch rule the world?" Prince Yan asked again.

Murong Yanche did not say anything, but the fact that he never ordered the imperial guards to come in and take action from beginning to end already made the problem clear.

Seeing that Murong Yanche remained indifferent, Emperor Wen shifted his attention to Luo Fanjin.

"General Luo, it is not common sense for a woman to be a general. I allowed you to join the army against all odds. Now that you have made great achievements, please don't forget your roots!"

Luo Fanjin raised her head and looked at Emperor Wen, whose expectant expression became increasingly intense, and she shook her head.

"Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that this general only knows how to fight and hates fighting for fame and fortune. For the common people of the North, whoever can give us the greatest peace, we will naturally be willing to believe in as the emperor."

Wow!

This sentence is almost a disguised way of stating one's own choice!

The court officials looked at Luo Fanjin in surprise and expressed regret.

They were always timid and no one dared to take sides, because until the last moment, no one knew what the final fate of the throne would be.

After hearing this, the King of Yan was overjoyed.

He couldn't wait to express, "General Luo, there is no need to investigate your background any further. You are my biological daughter. When I ascend the throne, I will restore your status as a princess!"

Or was he eager to recognize her without any investigation? Even if Luo Fanjin was stupid, she knew that the other party had ulterior motives. As long as Luo Fanjin surrendered, she would become his biological daughter even if she was not his biological daughter.

“Don’t be so shameless!” Emperor Wen didn’t expect that even the Prince of Yan would compete with him for Luo Fanjin.
