Chapter 598: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow [Second Update! ]

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was celebrating happily in his mansion.

The Second Prince had been dead for several days, and the murderer had not been caught until now. In fact, it was not only that he had not been caught, but there was no trace of him at all, and even the most basic clues were missing.

But, whether he was caught or not, whether there were clues or not, it was irrelevant to the Crown Prince!

The only important thing was that the Second Prince was dead, dead as hell, dead as hell!

In other words, the biggest rival for the throne was gone!

And because the rival's reputation was so bad, it showed the Crown Prince's wisdom and bravery in disguise. Who could compete with him? !

From now on, I can really rest easy!

How could the Crown Prince not be happy?

As for the death of my brother...

Humph, who still recognized him as my brother? The guy with a bad reputation all over the country? !

"Since ancient times, there has been no relatives in the royal family!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince highly praised this sentence: "What brother, bullshit! He died well! He died wonderfully! He died terribly! He really died at the right time!"

That night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly held a banquet in his mansion.

Although he did not admit that it was his brother in his heart, in fact, no one could deny it! Including the Crown Prince himself. ,

If a big banquet is held after his brother dies... then, if people know about it, it will be a big mistake, a big mistake!

So although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was excited in his heart, he did not dare to celebrate openly on the surface, and had to put on a sad face. But in private, it is harmless to gather some die-hards, have a few drinks, and be happy.

At this moment, he was smiling and raising his glass: "Old Guan, it seems that our last step will not be needed."

There was also a smile on Guan Zhengwen's fair face.

The most fearful General Ye did not find himself; now that the powerful enemies are gone, even the last step is saved, just waiting for the death of the terminally ill emperor and the crown prince to ascend the throne; how can I, the most solid and loyal minister who shares a secret with the crown prince, not be treated unfairly?

Glory and wealth are just around the corner, how can I not be happy?

"When I rule the world, I will not forget that you are here today." The crown prince smiled and used the last sentence to end the drinking party that lasted until midnight.

Guan Zhengwen walked leisurely, his clothes fluttering, and he felt that his body was floating in the air and he forgot himself.

The anesthesia of alcohol made his nerves extremely excited, but what excited him most was the promise of the crown prince.

"Guan Qing has worked hard and made great contributions, and he is even above everyone else. I will never forget him. When he seeks the throne in the future, with Guan Qing's ability, he can take charge of the court!"

This sentence was said by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Guan Zhengwen in private.

However, whenever he thought of this sentence, Master Guan was excited.

One side?

Taking charge of the court?

I definitely can't count on the official position of the old emperor.

But...as the saying goes, a new emperor chooses new ministers! I finally caught up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's train.

Before, three princes competed for the throne, among which the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were the strongest and most powerful, and they argued with each other. The Third Prince was just a supporting role.

Now the Second Prince's faction has completely collapsed, and he has even lost his life, and his reputation is notorious. The Third Prince is weak, how can he fight against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is in the limelight?

It is a foregone conclusion that the throne belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In this case, isn't the fate and future of myself, and the fate and future of my whole family... set in stone?

My son... grandson...

As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, all his family members will rise to heaven. This sentence is also suitable to describe the officialdom.

As long as the three generations below me can gain a foothold in the court, then my family is basically a new official family.

Once the family is formed; as long as nothing major happens, it can basically stand firm from now on.

All descendants will benefit from it.

It will last forever and a hundred generations can be expected!

With my own achievements in cultivation, it will definitely not be a problem to persist for another fifty or sixty years. With such a mainstay and stabilizer like me, even if the Guan family does not want to prosper and stand firm, I am afraid it will not work!

As long as Guan Zhengwen thinks of the infinite glory in the future, waves of wonderful tastes rise in his heart.

Even the dim night and hazy night fog at this time feel particularly lovely.

In the sky, the moonlight shines palely. Although the moon is in the sky, people can hardly feel the brilliance of the moon.

The fog is too thick.

Guan Zhengwen is still in high spirits at this moment. He turns to the alley in front of him as if he is strolling in the garden. As long as he turns another corner, he will be home, that warm place.

Guan Zhengwen's fair face subconsciously reveals a warm smile. This good news must be shared with his family as soon as possible. For so many years, he has secretly helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do a lot of bad things, but everything is worth it.

Even if his conscience is guilty, as long as his family is safe in the future, he will not regret it!

Guan Zhengwen's steps became lighter and lighter as he turned into the next alley.

However, the moment he just turned into the alley, his body suddenly stiffened.

His eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, and almost burst out of their sockets.

In the narrow alley, in the thick night fog; a person stood in front of him, quietly waiting for his arrival.

"You're here, you're here so slowly." The man's clear voice sent ripples through the night fog.

When Guan Zhengwen saw this, the hairs all over his body stood up.

This person was clearly standing here, so why didn't he notice any signs of his existence? He didn't know the other person's existence until he caught a glimpse of him. Also, even though it was just a glimpse just now, he had already seen that person's victorious appearance. Dressed in snow-white clothes, he has a long body and his back is facing him. However, the distance between the two parties is already so close. With his own cultivation, even if the other party's back is turned to him, how can he not be able to sense the other party's true appearance? Since he cannot sense the other party Doesn't it mean that...

"May I ask who you are? Are you here specifically to wait for someone to be imprisoned?" When Guan Zhengwen was speaking, he had fully mobilized all the spiritual power in his body. He had already realized that this time, he might be It was the most dangerous battle in his life.

Maybe, as long as one carelessness or carelessness is needed, the soul will disappear and die!

Although the man in white did not reveal the slightest trace of murderous intent.

But the fact that he is waiting here at this time is enough to explain too many problems.

As he spoke, the man slowly turned his body sideways, letting the dim moonlight shine on half of his face, intentionally or unintentionally.

Guan Zhengwen's pupils shrank immediately, then bulged violently, almost popping his eyes out, and he lost his voice: "Ye Xiao!?"

The person opposite has a tall figure, handsome face, elegant demeanor, deep eyes, and a faint smile lingering on his lips.

This person is none other than the general’s son, Ye Xiao!

The one who had been plotted by him, Ye Xiao!
