Chapter 375 The Ninth King (Ⅱ)

It was already late night when Xuanyuan Shi returned. It was not because that Yaochi did not escort him correctly, but that Yaochi had encountered some trouble on the way, and these people were obviously coming for Yaochi. The first thought came to Yaochi was that these people were the subordiantes of Xuanyuan Shi. And it turned out that he was not wrong, because just when he dealt with these people in black, Xuanyuan Shi was already nowhere to be found.

However, Yaochi knew that Xuanyuan Shi had returned to the mansion, and he had also completed his mission. Moreover, Qingyan wasn't very concerned about what had happened at that time, not to mention that their only goal was not to stop Xuanyuan Shi from helping the Xuanyuan Shi. Thus, their goal was very successful for now.

Xuanyuan Shi was cautiously afraid of Xuanyuan Yvzhen, or the strength behind Murong Jingxuan. However, he would definitely not think that all the things were under the control of Su Qingyan. Qingyan was the real key character behind it.

Xuanyuan Shi didn't know what mood he was when he walked into the mansion. The words of Xuanyuan Yvzhen and Murong Jingxuan still kept resounding in his ears. In fact, he had originally planned to help the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince and the Third Prince didn't get along well, anyhow, Emperor Hongjia was his brother. If he helped the Crown Prince win the throne, he thought at least Emperor Hongjia would be happy.

After all, Emperor Hongjia was not the eldest son of the family, but he managed to become the emperor after he killed his eldest brother. Outsiders did not know it, but Xuanyuan Shi knew clearly about it.

In order to take the throne, Xuanyuan Hong had used all kinds of methods, and he had even thought of murdering the Crown Prince. However, Emperor Hongjia certainly hadn't thought that his son would do it the same way now.

The Crown Prince was Emperor Hongjia's eldest son, but Xuanyuan Shi was clear in his mind that the best candidate for the throne was Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Because he

k glanced at Xuanyuan Shi's expression and revealed a smile.

Xuanyuan Shi looked at the furnishings in the Study Room and was lost in thought. This room was carefully made for him by Emperor Hongjia when he was a prince. He liked Ding Shuqi very much, but it wasn't Emperor Hongjia's fault, but when it was the Ding clan who had torn them apart. If he still holds hatred he should not hate Emperor Hongjia, but the Ding clan.

But in this case, what's the point of hating the Ding clan? Xuanyuan Yvzhe was not Emperor Hongjia's biological son, but he was kept by Emperor Hongjia. At the thought of this, Xuanyuan Shi could only feel inexplicably sad.

Back then, the scene that Xuanyuan Yvzhe happened to find out his secret was still ringing in his mind. Xuanyuan Yvzhe was his own son, but his words made Xuanyuan Shi heartbroken. However, even though the empress knew that he had an affair with Ding Shuqi, it did not mean that she knew thatXuanyuan Yvzhe was not Xuanyuan Yvzhe's biological son.

But Xuanyuan Yvzhe seemed to have decided to help Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Besides, Xuanyuan Yvzhe's character decided he would not fit to be the emperor. Sooner or later, the Donghe Kingdom would be taken over by another emperor. He might as well choose to help Xuanyuan Yvzhen win the throne. At the very least, in Xuanyuan Yvzhen's heart, he would be of some use.
