"How do you know it's the Emperor or the Fourth Prince? The Emperor ….. no matter what, he is still Lei Chen's father. Although Lei Chen is a little scheming, but he is still a good Crown Prince. At least on the surface, he seems to be doing a good job. Why would the Emperor ….. treat him like this? "Qiao Chu felt that his brain was not enough to process the information.
Jun Wu Xie paused and was silent for a moment before she suddenly asked: "Do you know who the current Emperor of the Qi Kingdom is?"
Qiao Chu was taken aback a moment before he replied: "I do. Isn't it the previous Crown Prince?" As Jun Wu Xie was the Young Miss of the Qi Kingdom's Lin Palace, even Qiao Chu had heard about the Qi Kingdom.
"Then do you know that when he was still the Crown Prince, his mother and his maternal family were killed by the previous Emperor? And he himself was poisoned for many years, almost losing his life? "Jun Wu Xie asked.
"How is that possible?" Qiao Chu's eyes widened.
"Nothing is impossible." Jun Wu Xie's face was expressionless, as if she was describing something she did not want to do. "The previous Emperor did not like the Crown Prince and wanted the Second Prince to be the heir apparent. But because of his reputation among the people, he did not want to remove the Crown Prince too obviously, so he resorted to sinister methods to push the Crown Prince to his death, and at the same time, to tarnish the Crown Prince's reputation within the country, to push the Second Prince onto the throne. If not for that accident, the current Emperor of the Qi Kingdom would not be the current one. "
A secret chamber of the Imperial Palace. This was the first time Qiao Chu and the others were hearing about it. Although Jun Wu Xie had said it in a mild tone, they were all shocked to hear it.
"The Crown Prince ….. is actually so aggrieved?" Just thinking about it, Qiao Chu felt that the current Emperor of the Qi Kingdom's life ….. was very bitter!
Fan Zhuo looked at Jun Wu Xie thoughtfully. "You think that Lei Chen's situation is the same as the current Emperor of the Qi Kingdom?"
Jun Wu Xie nodded. "I wasn't sure at first, but I confirmed it yesterday. The Spirit Battle Tournament this time, is a trap set up by the Fire Country's Emperor to bring down the Crown Prince. "
"But why? His Majesty now has a total of four sons. Other than the Crown Prince, the Second Prince is muddle-headed and stupid, the Third Prince is timid and cowardly, and the Fourth Prince is still young. Moreover, the Fourth Prince and Lei Chen were raised by the Empress, and the Empress is the Crown Prince's birth mother. The Fourth Prince is only born of an inferior imperial concubine. Even if the Emperor really wanted to change the Crown Prince, he wouldn't be able to find a second candidate. " Fei Yan quickly ran through all the princes of the Yan Country in his mind. Besides Lei Chen, there really didn't seem to be any other suitable candidate.
"Reestablishing the Crown Prince is not something that can be done overnight. Although the Fourth Prince is still young, but he will succeed in a few years. By that time, the Crown Prince's reputation will have fallen and it will be the best time to promote the Fourth Prince." Jun Wu Xie said lightly.
"Fourth Prince? Do you really think it's him? "Hua Yao raised his eyebrows.
Jun Wu Xie nodded. "I'm sure Lei Chen knows that in his heart as well, or he wouldn't have been so hostile towards the Fourth Prince."
Just because the Fourth Prince was in the Empress' palace, he didn't even want to greet the Empress. This disgust could not be more obvious.
"But even if the Emperor has such intentions, wouldn't the Empress agree to it? The Fire Country's Empress' maternal family holds quite a lot of power and influence and they are currently at the peak of their power in the Fire Country. Lei Chen is the Empress' biological son, how could the Empress possibly turn a blind eye to the Emperor's actions of persecuting her biological son just because of an adopted son? "Fan Zhuo still felt that something did not make sense.
