The ancestor is here, she is here with space

The Second Prince and the Third Prince met with accidents one after another, so the Sixth Prince naturally could not remain immune. It was obvious that he was involved in this matter.

"Your Highness, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. The Second and Third Princes have met with accidents one after another, which may arouse the suspicion of Your Majesty." An adviser said solemnly.

The Sixth Prince frowned, his eyes flashing with coldness: "This matter is strange, we must secretly investigate and find out the mastermind, otherwise we may be the next target."

The counselor nodded and whispered, "Your Highness, now that the Fifth Prince is in a coma and the Seventh Prince is missing, we must act with caution."

The Sixth Prince took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "I know. Inform our people to step up their vigilance and secretly search for clues. We must find out who is behind this."

In the eldest prince's mansion, the eldest prince sat in the study. The flickering candlelight illuminated his deep and unfathomable face.

He gently stroked the jade pendant in his hand. The jade was as warm and smooth as jade, exuding a hint of coldness, as if it was carrying endless worries.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink, with the occasional sound of the night watchman's clappers in the distance adding a bit of loneliness and uneasiness.

"In the past few days, the capital has been in a state of constant change, and people in all the prefectures are in a state of panic." The eldest prince whispered to himself, with a barely perceptible hint of worry in his tone.

He put down the jade pendant and stared at a corner of the study with sharp eyes, as if he was examining some invisible force.

"Your Highness, would you like to summon a few of your trusted aides to discuss countermeasures?" A secret guard dressed in black appeared silently at the door of the study, with lowered eyebrows and a respectful tone.

The eldest prince pondered for a moment and shook his head: "We should not act rashly at this time, so as not to alert the enemy. First send someone to observe secretly, especially pay attention to the movements of the Sixth Prince. Although he usually does not show his true colors, he must have some intentions for this matter."

The secret guard took the order and withdrew, and the study room returned to peace again.

The eldest prince stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the dark night in the distance, and felt mixed emotions.

He knew very well that the battle for the throne had quietly begun, and every step had to be taken with extreme caution. If he was not careful, he would be doomed.

"Forget it. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative." The eldest prince made up his mind secretly, with a cold smile on his lips.

-------------------------------------

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the courtiers of His Highness. The courtiers all lowered their heads and did not dare to look him in the eye.

"My princes have met with accidents one after another, but you can't find any clues. What use do I have for you?" the emperor asked angrily. His voice echoed in the hall, shocking the ministers.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We will definitely handle this matter well." The ministers answered in unison, with a slight tremor in their voices.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked into the hall and knelt before the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince requests an audience."

The emperor frowned, then his expression softened a little: "Send him in."

The Sixth Prince walked quickly into the hall and knelt down in front of the Emperor with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

"Stand up." The emperor waved his hand. "What do you want to see me for?"

"Father, I have something important to discuss with you." The Sixth Prince stood up and looked at the Emperor firmly. "I think there must be something fishy about the successive accidents that happened to the Second and Third Princes."

The emperor frowned and said, "Oh? What did you find?"

"I discovered that the Second and Third Princes had come into contact with some unidentified people before the incident." The Sixth Prince said in a deep voice, "I suspect that these people may be the mastermind behind the incident."

A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Do you have any evidence?"

"There is no conclusive evidence yet, but I have already sent people to investigate secretly, and I believe there will be results soon." The Sixth Prince replied.

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you this chance. You have ten days to find out the truth, otherwise I'll hold you accountable!"

"Your son obeys your command!" The Sixth Prince took the order and retreated with a serious look.

At the same time, the eldest prince also received the news. He sneered and said, "It seems that this competition has just begun."

Then, he said to the air, "Come here, keep an eye on Sixth Brother, and report back immediately if you get any news."

There was a faint fluctuation in the air, as if someone appeared and disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

After leaving the palace, the Sixth Prince immediately gathered a group of confidants and began to investigate the matter intensively.

He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and that any mistake would lead to an irretrievable disaster, so he was extremely cautious and took every step carefully.

However, just as the Sixth Prince was investigating the matter with all his might, something unexpected happened again.

The backyard bedroom of the fifth prince’s mansion.

Inside the house, the aroma of medicine and the gloomy atmosphere intertwined, permeating every corner.

Suddenly, a quick and weak cough broke the silence of the night, followed by a slight struggle on the bed, but ultimately it was powerless.

The fifth prince’s face was as pale as paper, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

As the news of the fifth prince's sudden death exploded like thunder inside and outside the palace, the entire imperial city was shrouded in a thick haze.

The emperor was heartbroken. Losing three sons in a row was undoubtedly a huge blow to this elderly emperor.

The court officials were in a panic and discussed the matter in private, but did not dare to mention a word in public.

In the Sixth Prince’s residence, the study was brightly lit.

The Sixth Prince sat at the desk, looking solemnly at the secret letter in his hand. The letter detailed the various abnormalities of the Fifth Prince during his lifetime and the suspicious people he had contact with.

"This matter is getting more and more strange." The Sixth Prince muttered to himself, "Fifth Brother was always cautious and careful when he was alive, how could he suddenly die?"

His heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, and he vaguely felt that a huge conspiracy was brewing in secret.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the Sixth Prince's thoughts.

A guard came in hurriedly: "Sixth Prince, there are unusual movements in the eldest prince's mansion."

The Sixth Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What's the unusual noise?"

"The eldest prince secretly gathered a group of confidants and seemed to be plotting something." The guard replied.

A cold light flashed in the Sixth Prince's eyes: "Send someone to keep a close eye on their every move, and report back immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes, sir!" The guard took the order and retreated.

The Sixth Prince stood up, walked to the window and looked into the distance.

Night has fallen and the sky is dotted with stars, but these stars give people a cold feeling.

"Heh..." The Sixth Prince suddenly chuckled. He turned around slowly, a gloomy light flashing in his eyes: "Finally you can't hold it back anymore, are you ready to take action?"
