The ancestor is here, she is here with space

In a courtyard in the capital, Lin Congyun, Fang Xinfeng, and Feng Lieyang were discussing the death of the fifth prince.

"The fifth prince died at this time. Was it a coincidence or did someone do it on purpose?" Feng Lieyang said in a deep voice.

"I think someone must have done it on purpose, wanting to muddy the waters so they can take advantage of the situation," said Fang Xinfeng.

Lin Congyun nodded slightly: "I have the same feeling, let's see who will be the first to take action."

"Should we get involved?" Fang Xinfeng's eyes lit up. "This is a good opportunity."

"No." Lin Congyun shook his head, "Let's not act rashly."

"Okay." Fang Xinfeng was a little disappointed.

Lin Congyun looked at his grandson and smiled, "Xinfeng, we just faked our own death to get away. We still need to take our time with some things."

"Got it, Grandma!"

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

The cause of death of the fifth prince was eventually diagnosed by the imperial physician as illness.

Although the emperor had some doubts in his heart, he could not find anything after investigating and could only accept the result.

However, the death of the fifth prince still caused a stir in the court, and many neutral ministers began to consider taking sides.

In the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

"Sixth Prince, now that the Fifth Prince is dead and the Eldest Prince is ready to make a move, what should we do?" an aide asked in a deep voice.

"Let's wait and see." The Sixth Prince said calmly, "Although we haven't found any clues about Fifth Brother's death, it is definitely related to the eldest brother."

"Now we just need to keep a close eye on our eldest brother. He will definitely show his hand."

"I understand." The staff nodded.

In the following days, the entire capital city fell into an eerie calm.

But everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm.

Many ministers had private contacts with each other, trying to find a good backer.

The fight between the eldest prince and the sixth prince has reached a white-hot stage. Both sides are secretly competing with each other, trying to suppress the other.

In this peaceful environment, Lin Congyun and his three companions lived a very comfortable life.

Because Lin Congyun knew that no matter whether it was the eldest prince or the sixth prince, they would not let each other go, so he only needed to add fuel to the fire at the appropriate time.

Sure enough, as Lin Congyun expected, the fight between the eldest prince and the sixth prince broke out completely a month later.

The Sixth Prince found some evidence from somewhere, proving that the First Prince was secretly raising private soldiers and had evil intentions.

When the emperor learned the news, he was furious and immediately ordered the eldest prince to be placed under house arrest.

Although the eldest prince made all kinds of excuses, the emperor simply refused to listen to his explanation.

This made the eldest prince very desperate. He had never thought that he would end up like this.

At the same time, the Sixth Prince's reputation in the court was getting higher and higher, and many ministers chose to stand on his side.

With the eldest prince's fall from power, the sixth prince was in high spirits at court and seemed to have everything under control.

However, an imperceptible shadow quietly arose in the emperor's heart.

He sat on the dragon throne, looking at the Sixth Prince who was kneeling below. His eyes, which were once full of trust and expectation, were now deep and unfathomable.

After all, during this period, three princes died, one prince went missing, and one was placed under house arrest. The biggest winner was undoubtedly the Sixth Prince.

The emperor's heart couldn't help but feel a complex ripple. Although the Sixth Prince was the crown prince in his heart, as the Sixth Prince's influence in the court grew, his heart was gradually shrouded in a thick cloud.

So, before long, the emperor began to intentionally or unintentionally suppress the Sixth Prince and weaken his influence in the court.

This move surprised everyone, after all, the emperor's favor for the sixth prince was well known.

The Sixth Prince was also filled with doubts and anxieties. He didn't understand why his father suddenly changed his attitude.

However, he had no time to think about this problem, because with the emperor's suppression, his situation became increasingly difficult.

Many fence-sitters in the court took advantage of the situation and turned against the Sixth Prince, starting to target him.

For a time, the Sixth Prince was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

What the Sixth Prince could not have imagined was that the Seventh Prince actually came back at this time.

The seventh prince originally disappeared in the second prince's mansion. The emperor originally wanted to punish the second prince, but not long after, the second prince was assassinated and the clues were cut off. The matter became an unsolved case.

Now that the Seventh Prince has returned safely, the Emperor is in a very good mood. Although he was very good to the Seventh Prince before, the crown prince in his heart is the Sixth Prince, so he brought out the Seventh Prince to serve as a shield.

Now, the Sixth Prince's power is growing stronger and stronger. The Emperor senses the crisis and after seeing the Seventh Prince who has returned, he plans to support the Seventh Prince to balance the Sixth Prince's power.

Of course, the emperor still asked where the seventh prince had been these days? Why did he disappear from the second prince's house at that time?

The Seventh Prince had already prepared an explanation, saying that he didn't know who knocked him unconscious and when he woke up he was already in an unfamiliar place.

It took him a lot of effort to escape from that place and return to the capital.

Although the emperor had some doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions when he saw the seventh prince's sincerity.

He had wanted to use the Seventh Prince as a shield that day, so the emperor was very happy about the Seventh Prince's return.

Of course, the one who was most unhappy about the Seventh Prince's return was the Sixth Prince.

He had finally overthrown the eldest prince, and the throne was about to be in his pocket. How could he not be angry when the seventh prince returned at this time?

However, the Sixth Prince also knew that he could not show any dissatisfaction now, otherwise he would leave a bad impression on his father.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and welcome the return of the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince looked at the Sixth Prince's hypocritical smile and sneered in his heart, but he did not show any expression on his face, and he also looked like a loving brother.

"Sixth brother, I haven't seen you for many years. You seem to be more and more energetic." The Seventh Prince said with a smile.

"Seventh brother is the same, and his demeanor is even better than before." The Sixth Prince also said with a smile, but a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the Seventh Prince said to the Sixth Prince somewhat boastfully, "Sixth brother, my father has promised me that I can enter the court and help you handle state affairs."
