Well, thank goodness for Master Yan!
She is Chu Yan's master. Chu Yan and I were like sisters back then, so we're practically family. I need to cultivate a good relationship with her so that it will be much easier for her to deal with Yun Jian Yue.
Hmph, the Demonic Sect Leader has been famous for so many years, and how old is Azu? He actually wants to take advantage of a young woman, doesn't he know any shame?
"Xue'er, what are you laughing at?" Zu An suddenly noticed the strange expression on Qiao Xueying's face and thought she was unwell, so he hurriedly asked.
"Am I laughing? No." Qiao Xueying's face flushed. She had just been fantasizing about Yan Xuehen beating Yun Jianyue to a pulp, while she was holding Zu An's arm in a romantic moment under the moon. She was so happy that she didn't realize her expression had betrayed her.
Worried that the three women might notice something, she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the day before yesterday, after the Crown Prince Jinwu returned, he caused a big incident. He publicly accused the Second Prince in court of sending assassins to kill him in the imperial mausoleum, intending to disrupt the succession ceremony. At the time, the court was in an uproar. This is a very serious accusation. If it is proven true, even if the other party is the Second Prince, he will probably not escape death."
Zuan smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this definitely can't be confirmed."
Qiao Xueying nodded slightly: "That's right. The Second Prince naturally denied it outright, and his close officials also cheered him on, demanding that he produce evidence. The Crown Prince did produce several corpses, but those people were all his own subordinates. The Crown Prince said that these people were bribed by the Second Prince. Both sides held their own opinions and argued fiercely."
"There's no way to prove anything now that they're all dead. It'll be difficult to convict the Second Prince based on this." Zu An was somewhat puzzled. Although the Crown Prince was a bit petty, he was definitely not a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of the Five Greats among the younger generation of the demon race.
Why did he openly challenge the Second Prince in court, even though he knew he couldn't convict him?
“The Golden Crow Prince did mention another witness, who seemed to be a descendant of the Mountain-Piercing Clan, but unfortunately he also died in the secret realm,” Qiao Xueying recalled the various rumors she had heard these days. As a princess of the Elf Clan, she had access to more information than the average person. “It’s just that because there’s no way to verify the truth, we can’t convict the Second Prince. But the details he described were so detailed and complete that everyone knows in private that he couldn’t have just made it up on the spot.”
"Furthermore, many people know that the Second Prince has always been dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, so it is not surprising at all that he did such a thing."
Zuan suddenly realized that evidence was only important to ordinary people. For some people, it was not necessary to go through all this trouble to deal with someone. As long as the bigwigs in the court believed that this matter had indeed happened, the evidence was no longer important.
At worst, they can just find some other charges to pin on them later. Anyway, these people in the court are easy to find out if they are investigated.
It seems that Crown Prince Jinwu is planning to take action against the Second Prince!
"By the way, why are there so few Golden Crow Guards outside compared to before?" Zu An asked, puzzled. He had clearly used his divine sense to investigate when he first left the secret realm, and at that time, the Golden Crow Guards surrounded the imperial tomb in layers, but now only a small portion remained.
Otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for them to escape from the Golden Crow Guards, the most elite troops of the demon race.
"I don't know. I noticed a few messengers rushing by earlier, and then Black Tooth Fei and Ma Tian each led their troops away in a hurry." Qiao Xueying was here, but she didn't know what had happened either.
Just then, bursts of firelight came from the direction of the royal court. Zu An's expression changed: "Something strange has happened at the royal court. Go and take a look!"
