I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 144: I have some metaphysics in me
[There was a bit of metaphysics in the late emperor's appointment of a crown prince. In order to test the will of heaven, the late emperor specially created something similar to a mock crown prince, intending that whoever was fine would be the next crown prince. As a result... some were stung by poisonous bees, some were chased by vicious dogs and hit against the wall, some were hit by a plaque that fell from the sky, and some...]

[Oh, look at how unlucky this is. If we rank the sons who betrayed us, the late emperor would definitely get a rank. Even the tyrant had his carriage flipped over and fell into a stinking ditch because he was named the proposed crown prince.]

[Although he was the least injured among all the princes, he was the most disgusting. When he climbed out of the stinking ditch, he was surrounded by people and became a laughing stock among the people. ]

Xiao Jingfan, whose unpleasant memories were suddenly awakened...his face turned two shades darker, and he could still smell the strange odor of the sewer.

Chu Liuzheng was still sighing here.

[The tallest one among the short ones, it seems that the tyrant becoming emperor is destined by heaven? Chosen by heaven or something, well... it's hard to judge. ]

Xiao Jingfan, whose mood had gradually improved because of the first half of the sentence, could not help but grind his teeth when he heard the last two words, as if he wanted to chew up some audacious woman.

What is so difficult to comment on? Is there anything wrong with my being an emperor?
He was destined not to get an answer because Chu Liuzheng's attention returned to the late emperor.

[The late emperor was afraid of seeing his younger son die before his father. After that, no matter how much the officials urged him, he never thought of appointing a crown prince again. His attitude towards the princes was also ambiguous. He seemed to value all of them, but also seemed to be dissatisfied with none of them. While fooling God, he also made it difficult for the officials to take sides.]

[Since it is difficult to judge the attitude of the late emperor, we can only compete with comprehensive strength. Among all the princes, Prince Cheng and the fifth prince are the most likely to inherit the throne. After all, one has a favored mother who will influence others; the other has strong personal abilities and gets the most responsibilities.]

[On the contrary, the tyrant, the final winner, has been neither hot nor cold, neither trying to stand out nor coming to the fore. It seems that apart from that face that is more outstanding than all the other princes, he has no real strength at all... Wait! I think I understand what Shangbao Siqing is trying to do. ]

Chu Liuzheng suddenly had an idea.

[This guy stole two imperial edicts and gave them to the two princes. Wasn't he just trying to play both sides? If either Prince Cheng or the fifth prince becomes emperor, he will make a fortune! ]

[Tsk tsk, he had a good plan, but unfortunately he missed the tyrant, a dark horse who was hiding his talent. The tyrant defeated a group of people by himself and ascended the throne with great force, leaving him with nothing. He was so angry that he secretly stabbed the tyrant. ]

Prick a villain?
well.

Xiao Jingfan had a gloomy face and solemnly wrote down the name of Shangbao Siqing in the little notebook in his heart.

The Minister of the Imperial Treasures was chatting with Prince Cheng when suddenly his right eyelid began to twitch violently, making him feel very nervous.

Prince Cheng had no interest in watching a man blinking his right eye at him like he was having a cramp, so he considerately stopped talking and motioned for Shangbao Siqing to do as he pleased.

Shang Bao Si Qing ended the conversation with a convulsive smile.

Prince Cheng turned around with a smile, a hint of gloom flashing across his eyes.

Here, Chu Liuzheng continued to search in the system, wanting to get the whole melon.

[Hmm... The Fifth Prince turned the blank edict into the late emperor's will, and the one in Prince Cheng's hand is still blank. I wonder what his plan is. Tsk tsk, if the tyrant knew about the existence of these two edicts, he would probably be very upset and unable to sleep or eat.]

Xiao Jingfan, who was forced to know: "..."

Thanks for the invitation. I want to kill two people to vent my anger.

Chu Liuzheng suddenly caught sight of a line of words and paused. After reading it, he opened his mouth slightly in surprise. [Frog fun! The Fifth Prince's wife can actually disguise herself! ! ]

[This is true that a person with great skills is bold! Relying on her superb disguise, when the Jinyiwei were arresting people all over the city, she had already disguised herself as Han Cunzhong's mistress. Not only did she plan in secret, she also strolled under their noses many times. ]

[Han Cunzhong had not been in the capital for many years, and had no contact with the Fifth Prince's people. Who would have thought that Han Cunzhong was also a secret agent left by the Fifth Prince? Even the Jinyiwei missed him when they arrested people. ]

[Han Cunzhong confessed his guilt so readily before, wasn't it because he was worried that the Fifth Prince's wife would be implicated? If this matter is found out, I don't know if Han Cunzhong's nine clans can be saved, but the whole clan will definitely be executed. ]

[Tsk tsk, he really cared about the Fifth Prince's wife, but it was a pity that the Fifth Prince's wife would rather destroy a useful chess piece than take his life. After all, only the dead have the tightest mouths. ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

After searching for so long, he turned out to be hiding in the capital and even knew how to disguise himself.

I really underestimated that woman who would fall down at the slightest gust of wind and would cry for a long time even at a wild flower on the roadside!
However, the Jinyiwei arrested all of Han Cunzhong's relatives and friends and found no suspicious people, so the woman must have escaped.

Chu Liuzheng's next words confirmed this.

[…After issuing the last order, the Fifth Prince’s wife fled to Jiangnan to reunite with her son. Oh, she was so good at disguising herself that she changed into five or six fake identities on the way to Jiangnan. Who could track her down? Where on earth did the Fifth Prince marry such a powerful princess? ]

She curiously looked up the life story of this master of disguise, muttering to herself as she flipped through the pages.

[I remember that this Fifth Prince’s Consort was just the daughter of a sixth-rank official. Because she saved the Fifth Prince’s life when he fell into the water, the Fifth Prince was grateful for her life-saving grace, so he asked the late Emperor to grant her marriage and marry her. At that time, it was even spread as a good story... Wait! ]

Chu Liuzheng's eyes widened. Xiao Jingfan, who was eavesdropping, bit his back teeth, silently prepared himself to be deafened again, and focused all his attention on the voice in his heart.

[Fuck! ! The Fifth Prince's wife is actually an orphan from the previous dynasty! ]

Xiao Jingfan's first reaction was, it was really loud, and then... an orphan from the previous dynasty? !

[No, the throne of Dasheng has been passed down for six generations. How can there still be orphans from the previous dynasty? You still want to overthrow the Dasheng empire? What the hell! ]

Chu Liuzheng, who had uncovered the identity of the Fifth Prince's wife, was speechless. Before he started to fight against Sheng and restore Yong, he should have done some research first. How many people still remembered the extremely corrupt Yong Dynasty? Who still felt that they were the people of the Yong Dynasty?

Return to Yong, stop making trouble!
She continued to scroll through the pages, and as she was flipping through, her consciousness suddenly shook and she almost shut down the system.

[Wow! The murderer who poisoned the late emperor was not the favored Concubine Zhen, but her good daughter-in-law, the Fifth Prince's wife who helped make the osmanthus lotus root soup. It was she who poisoned the osmanthus lotus root soup, so the late emperor died suddenly, and the princes fought for the throne, almost causing chaos in the world! ]

Xiao Jingfan's eyelids jumped when he heard this. The murderer was not that vicious woman. Then he must have killed...

【Wait a minute, it’s too early to draw conclusions. 】

Xiao Jingfan thought he had killed the wrong person: "..."

Could you please stop breathing so hard!
