Volume 1, Chapter 241: Speculating on the eldest prince’s background.
After coaxing all the kids to sleep.
Ye Tingmu also returned to his room.
Just as I was about to turn off the lights and go to bed.
There was a knock on the door.
Dong....Dong...Dong....
"Mr. Ye, are you asleep?"
Ye Tingmu said: "Not yet, Palace Master Xu, is there anything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open.
Then Xu Ping'an walked in with a smile on his face.
"There are some things I want to talk to Mr. Ye about."
Ye Tingmu quickly stood up.
"Palace Master Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Ping'an was not polite either.
Sat down at the table.
Ye Tingmu poured him a cup of tea.
Also sat down.
"I wonder why Palace Master Xu came to visit so late at night?"
He got straight to the point and asked directly.
Xu Ping'an also went straight to the point.
"We will arrive in Zhulu City tomorrow. Although the Crown Prince hasn't made any moves yet, the conflict is still ongoing. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ye so that you can be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingmu put down the teapot in his hand.
It is indeed as he said, the fight is still going on and is still confusing.
Whether it is Tianhai Hou or Lilong, the involvement is still unclear.
He made a gesture of invitation.
"Palace Master Xu, you can say whatever you want."
"I wonder if Mr. Ye still remembers the battle with the dragon in Shuiyun Gorge."
Ye Tingmu frowned.
Of course he remembered that when he entered the canyon, he did not see the body of Li Long or the body of Wang Changsheng. Instead, he met Tian Hai Hou.
But Dongfang Shuo told him nothing.
I don’t know whether he forgot or just didn’t want to say it.
He didn't ask at that time.
Therefore, he thought about this matter for a long time and never dared to make any rash conclusions.
"Of course I remember. To be honest, I have also been confused about this matter recently."
Xu Ping'an's expression became a little more serious.
"I didn't want to tell you, sir, because I was afraid you would worry too much. That dragon was not transformed by someone else, but by the old Heavenly Master..."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that I really guessed it right?
The Lilong clan took action because Wang Changsheng was originally from the Canghai God Clan.
There was no third person involved in the battle at that time.
This makes sense, as there was indeed no trace of a third person taking action on the battlefield.
He nodded slightly.
"It's a bit unexpected..."
Xu Ping'an chuckled.
"I don't think Mr. Ye is surprised. He must have guessed it a long time ago."
Ye Tingmu did not deny it.
"I did guess a little, but I wasn't sure. After what Palace Master Xu said today, I figured out some things."
Xu Pingan continued, "The Canghai clan and the Chao clan are sworn enemies. I sent people to investigate for a long time and gathered some information."
"The old Heavenly Master entered Jiuzhou 600 years ago, became the head of Tiandao Academy 300 years ago, and then 23 years ago, when the eldest prince was born, he accepted him as his chief disciple."
"In his entire life, he only accepted this one disciple in Jiuzhou. As a member of the Canghai Divine Clan, it is indeed puzzling that he assisted the eldest prince to ascend the throne. If he said that the eldest prince was a waste, then he could also say that he wanted the successor to be a dizzy emperor who would bring disaster to the country."
Having said this, he paused and his tone lowered a little.
"But...everyone knows that the eldest prince is a genius once in a thousand years. I really can't understand the reason behind this."
Ye Tingmu shook the cup in his hand, his eyes full of depth.
Also lost in thought.
There are two possibilities if you act this way.
First, Wang Changsheng betrayed the Canghai royal family.
But this can basically be ruled out.
If not.
The Sea Marquis will not show up that day.
Second, the relationship between Wang Changsheng and the eldest prince may not be as simple as imagined.
A bold idea emerged in his mind at this moment.
That is.......
Is it just because Wang Changsheng is from the Canghai clan that he can get the Canghai clan to help him ascend to the throne?
In his opinion, this is far from enough, as that is the strength of an entire country.
Moreover, Tianhai Hou’s attitude that day was very clear.
The emperor of Jiuzhou can only sit facing Xiao with the eldest prince.
Why could he help the eldest prince in this way?
He looked at Xu Ping'an and asked, "Palace Master Xu, since ancient times, the royal family can only give birth to three royal bloodlines. You must know this, right?"
Although Xu Ping'an didn't know why Ye Tingmu suddenly asked this.
But he still nodded and said: "Of course, everyone knows this!"
Ye Tingmu continued, "If that's the case, has no one ever doubted why the current emperor was able to give birth to four sons? Is it possible that among these four sons... there is a civet cat?"
Xu Ping'an's expression became more serious. He naturally knew what Ye Tingmu was referring to.
"Mr. Ye, I dare not speak of matters concerning the royal family. When the Fourth Prince was born, the clan conducted a blood test, and all four sons were found to have divine blood, without exception."
Ye Tingmu knocked on the table, and the sound of "dong...dong..." echoed.
"What if...the eldest prince is also the son of a god? But he is from another god clan, can we detect it?"
Xu Ping'an couldn't sit still anymore.
"You mean... the eldest prince might be..."
Ye Tingmu nodded.
"It's possible, but it's just my guess."
Xu Ping'an's chest rose and fell slightly.
If it is true as Ye Tingmu said, then the test back then really can’t prove anything?
But why are there other gods appearing in this Jiuzhou Imperial City?
Moreover, when the prince was born, the man was surrounded by three layers of people, so it was impossible for him to be replaced.
There is only one possibility, surrogacy.
But this is a bit too ridiculous.
There is one more point, which is also the most important one.
"I dare not speculate on this matter. Among the eight divine clans in the East Sea, except for the Chao clan, the other seven clans all have their own strengths in appearance, such as different hair colors, different pupil colors, or other things."
"The four current princes all have normal looks...so this idea may not hold true."
Ye Tingmu disagreed.
If Wang Changsheng wanted to, he would naturally have ways to cover up his hair color or eye color.
“Palace Master, before the Lilong appeared, you could probably tell that Wang Changsheng was from the Canghai Divine Clan.”
Xu Ping'an shook his head slightly.
"Don't even mention looking at it. Even my star deduction technique can't detect it."
"To be honest, Mr. Ye, I did have the same idea as you. This Chao Xiao is... the bloodline of the old Heavenly Master. For the past few days, I have also tried to deduce the eldest prince's life story, but I was blocked by an invisible barrier. Someone must have placed a restriction on him."
Xu Ping'an expressed what Ye Tingmu was thinking.
It is indeed difficult not to be suspicious.
The royal family of the enemy country actually tried their best to teach and cultivate an unparalleled genius.
Is Wang Changsheng really that stupid?
He even tried his best to secure the throne for the eldest prince.
Is it just because he is his master?
Is it possible?
But Ye Tingmu didn't look like that.
Moreover, in order to ambush and kill Feng He, the Canghai clan even sent out Tianhai Hou, Canghai Xiao, who is known as the third most powerful person in the Canghai Empire.
