He had never taken his third brother seriously before, thinking him too mediocre and unremarkable.
However, despite being a member of the royal family, he remained completely clean, never getting involved in any internal court conflicts or civilian affairs, and had no enemies whatsoever.
The fact that his third brother was not entirely clean actually put his mind at ease.
But now, no matter how they investigate, everything is clean, which has made him take it more seriously.
A few days ago, a spy risked his life to deliver a piece of intelligence, saying that the Third Prince had a booklet containing information about the dirty deeds that many people in the court were secretly doing.
They originally wanted the spy to investigate thoroughly, but there was no further news. By the time they received the next message, the spy was already dead.
Until he heard that Su Yan had become the third prince's personal maid and that their relationship was ambiguous.
He deliberately had someone pass the message to Su Yan, partly to test Su Yan's loyalty, and partly to verify the authenticity of the message.
To his surprise, Su Yan had actually seen that booklet.
In this light, it seems that his third brother had indeed been feigning stupidity and innocence all along.
Furthermore, Su Yan had actually gained the trust of his third brother, the emperor, and even saw such an important booklet.
Today's actions further prove that the Third Prince adores her.
Originally, Su Yan was just a pawn, cannon fodder.
But now, Su Yan has become a very important pawn in his game.
If used properly, it might produce unexpected results.
"Ancestor of the Witches"
"exist"
The strangely dressed, pale man responded.
"I need a kind of poison. It will not cause any problems at first, but after a while, it will kill you without a burial place."
The eerie laughter of the ancestor of witchcraft
"Your Highness, I certainly do."
"The Gu I want will surely kill him."
Xuan Yuan Yonglin emphasized the words "certain death" in his voice.
The ancestor of witchcraft nodded, his voice slow and deliberate.
"clear"
Xuanyuan Yonglin smiled.
What good are his great abilities, even if he is the third prince's brother?
They'll still die.
This is the best method he has thought about for so long.
Only his death can prevent future troubles.
After a while, the ancestor of witchcraft spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Your Highness, in seven days, an envoy from the Kingdom of Zhuri will be visiting. We have heard that their princess is born with the ability to tame wild beasts and make them her own, and is the most beloved princess of the Emperor of Zhuri. If Your Highness can marry this princess and gain her assistance, it will surely be of great help in Your Highness's ascension to the throne and in promoting peace with neighboring countries."
Xuanyuan Yonglin listened.
"Yeah?"
The words were phrased as a question, but the look in his eyes revealed an unwavering determination.
It was pitch black outside, and a chill was in the air.
The torrential rain that was pouring down is now showing signs of gradually stopping.
The rain finally stopped in the latter half of the night.
Not long after the rain stopped, Su Yan woke up from her sleep.
Of course, it's not because you've had enough rest.
This time, it was hunger.
Su Yan blinked, her body wrapped in a bed sheet.
Her hair was disheveled and looked somewhat messy.
She rolled over, lay face down on the bed, and pressed her hand against her stomach.
For a whole day and night, they hadn't eaten anything.
She didn't even have a sip of water; she was woken up by hunger.
Perhaps because the rain had stopped outside, Su Yan's impatience and irritability disappeared.
Her moist eyes regained their usual gentle appearance.
She rolled over, then rolled over again.
With a thud, it flipped right onto the ground.
Originally, Xiaohua didn't want to speak, fearing that she would be implicated.
But judging from the host's somewhat foolish reaction, is this... a return to normal?
Xiao Hua tentatively made a sound.
"Host, are you feeling better?"
