The Prince of Zhennan continued, "At first, I thought his mother was a good person, but later I discovered that she only cared about wealth and glory, and she was obsessed with becoming the Queen. She approached me only because my father had intended to choose me as the Crown Prince. Later, when she saw that I had no interest in the throne, she joined forces with my good brother and wanted to kill me. One was after the Queen, the other after the throne. They were truly a match made in heaven! It's a pity that I was lucky enough not to die."
This royal secret shocked all the civil and military officials, making them dizzy and dazed. They had no idea how things could turn out like this.
"Then...then what did you mean when you said that the Third Prince has no royal blood?"
A minister asked cautiously.
When the Prince of Zhennan heard this, his eyes became even more disgusted. "Back then, I saw with my own eyes that woman having an affair with another man behind my back. I had no intention of making it known, so I distanced myself from her. Perhaps that's why this vicious woman wanted to get rid of me."
The ministers were stunned again. They looked at each other in silence for a while.
At this time, the Prince of Zhennan was heard to say, "So, we still don't know whose child this Third Prince is, but it's definitely not mine."
The third prince also stood where he was, without uttering a word of rebuttal. His confidence in victory had long been shattered.
He calculated everything very well.
However, he never expected that the 'biological father' he mentioned, who was the favorite crown prince of the late emperor when he was still alive and the legitimate heir to the throne, was still alive.
"Wow, it's so lively."
At this time, only a light laugh was heard, and the laughter was full of unconcealable charm.
At the entrance of the hall, a figure walked in. He was dressed in dark red brocade clothes, and his temperament was elegant and noble.
The ministers looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hua Yanyue.
This person is...
The expression between her eyebrows is somewhat similar to that of the former Queen.
The ministers were confused.
Hua Yanyue walked up to the King of Zhennan, clasped her fists, bowed, and saluted.
"Yan Yue, meet the Emperor's uncle."
Prince Zhennan snorted and nodded in agreement.
"Uncle? Could it be... could it be him?"
A minister exclaimed in surprise.
Prince Zhennan nodded and said, "Yes, he is the Ninth Prince who died young, and he is also the bloodline of the Queen and the late Emperor."
Halfway through his words, the Prince of Zhennan looked at the Third Prince and said coldly, "So...it's not the turn of a bastard of unknown bloodline to sit on the throne!"
The ministers remained silent and did not refute.
When the Third Prince saw Hua Yanyue coming, his face suddenly became hideous and distorted.
He looked at Hua Yanyue and gritted his teeth, "Ninth brother, you really have a good plan! You planned all this, didn't you?"
Hiding behind the scenes and reaping the benefits is a really good plan.
Hua Yanyue's smile widened a bit as she looked at him and said, "Third brother, what are you talking about? I just found out about my identity as well, and when I came back, I accidentally ran into all this. I'm really sorry."
The Third Prince suddenly burst into laughter, his cold eyes becoming even colder. "You were the one who ordered the release of that letter, weren't you?"
One day, he suddenly received a secret letter and learned his identity. He was not of royal blood. In addition, the letter also contained the secret of his mother and Prince Zhennan, as well as many unknown secrets of his mother.
So in order to avoid his identity being exposed, he made plans in advance. Those so-called brothers died or became disabled in just a few months. Now, he is the only one left in the royal family who can inherit the throne.
He also controlled the old emperor's personal eunuchs, which caused the old emperor's health to become increasingly weak.
Later, he learned that the ninth prince was alive. He was afraid that the old emperor would find the ninth prince and pass the throne to him, so he planned to send the old emperor on his way in advance.
Therefore, he controlled Master Fu's family in advance, let him enter the palace at that time, pretend to greet the old emperor, and then asked the old emperor's personal eunuch to transfer the guards near the palace to make it easier for him to take action.
The old emperor had always trusted Grand Tutor Fu and had not had too many doubts. It was only because of Grand Tutor Fu's testimony that the throne was secured that he was able to ascend the throne smoothly.
No one would have thought that Grand Tutor Fu, who had taught three generations of emperors, was such a hypocritical and fame-seeking person.
All his calculations were perfect. As long as the old emperor died, he would ascend the throne smoothly. By then, everything would be a done deal and could not be changed.
History books are also rewritten by the victors, and who will know about the past a hundred years later?
He also sent out hundreds of shadows to block his way back to the palace, but he failed to stop him and was allowed to return without even a single hair being hurt.
I planned for so long, calculated everything, but I never thought that in the end, I would lose by one wrong move...
When the third prince thought of this, he laughed wildly, his eyes cold and chilling.
"Hahaha... I lost. I underestimated Ninth Prince. From thousands of miles away, you were able to reach into this palace. From the moment I received that letter, everything was part of your plan, right? Ninth Prince, you're quite resourceful."
The Third Prince laughed crazily and terrifyingly, and his eyes were cold and terrifying. He looked at Hua Yanyue with a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.
Hua Yanyue just smiled faintly, "I don't know what Third Brother means."
Although he said so, there was a look of victory in his eyes, and one of his eyebrows was raised, which was extremely provocative.
His thin lips opened and closed silently, uttering silent words.
"I would like to thank my Third Brother for contributing to my great cause."
The third prince, noticing his appearance, became furious and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
All the ministers kneeling on the ground did not dare to say a word and quickly lowered their heads, wishing they were invisible.
