Universe Storage Box

1"This, this subject doesn't know either." The Tenth Prince pretended to be deep in thought, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said these words.    

    

In reality, it could not be said that he was pretending to be deep in thought. He was indeed thinking about who those assassins were. And who was the one who commanded them. The first suspect was naturally Fourth Prince. However, he saw that Fourth Prince seemed to be thinking about something as well, as if he wasn't pretending. He began to think about the possibility of others doing this.    

    

However, it seemed like other than Fourth Prince, no one else would be so suspicious about this matter. After all, Old Emperor was dead, except for the powerful Fourth Prince. It wouldn't be beneficial to the others.    

    

"Could it be the doing of the people of Yuan Feng Country?" Such a thought suddenly popped up in the Tenth Prince's mind.    

    

After that, he denied this guess of his. Although Old Emperor was dead, it was still a huge loss to the Yuan Feng Country's army outside the city. It's good, too. However, on their side... On the city wall, in the city, even in the Imperial Palace... They had arranged a large number of troops. The people of Yuan Feng Country outside the city couldn't enter at all. They wouldn't have the chance to kill Old Emperor either.    

    

Therefore, the Tenth Prince didn't think that this matter would be done by the people of the Yuan Feng Country.    

    

"That's true. It's normal that you don't know about this matter." Fourth Prince said.    

    

Fourth Prince didn't suspect that this matter had anything to do with the Tenth Prince. In his eyes, this matter had nothing to do with the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince had no power and influence, except for the title of prince. There was nothing else that he could do. There was no way that he could arrange for someone to assassinate Old Emperor.    

    

Furthermore, Old Emperor's death wouldn't do any good to the Tenth Prince, who had been 'useless' all this time. He didn't make any moves at all.    

    

"If you want to talk about it, the one who benefited the most from father's death will be himself. The others wouldn't think that it was him who did this, right?" This thought suddenly appeared in Fourth Prince's mind.    

    

Furthermore, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was. After all, no matter how he looked at it, he was the one who profited the most. The other princes obviously did not wish for Old Emperor to die now. Therefore, they would not harm Old Emperor.    

    

However, he was different. He was powerful and influential in the entire country. Old Emperor was the only one who could fight against him. Therefore... Once Old Emperor died, he would take advantage of the situation and show his face. It would be the most beneficial to him. He had thought about it more than once in his heart. How good would it be if Old Emperor died? In that case, no one in the entire country would be able to keep him in check. He was the real boss.    

    

And now, Old Emperor was really dead. To be honest, after Fourth Prince found out about this, the joy in his heart was greater than sadness, because finally, no one could suppress him anymore.    

    

However, after calming down and thinking about it, Old Emperor's death... Perhaps it would put him in trouble, because he was the only one who could benefit from it. Furthermore, he had quarreled with Old Emperor several times when he entered the Palace. This matter couldn't be hidden from many people's ears. He believed that many people knew about it. In that case... Now that Old Emperor was suddenly killed, it was very easy for people to suspect him.    

    

"Tenth Brother, you wouldn't suspect that I was the one who did this, would you?" Fourth Prince looked at the Tenth Prince and suddenly asked.    

    

"Ah?" The Tenth Prince was stunned when he heard this. After all... This was the doubt in his heart, but he did not expect... Fourth Prince had actually asked the question directly. This had caught him off guard. However, he immediately reacted and waved his hand, "How is this possible? How could I suspect Fourth Brother? This matter was done by anyone, and it couldn't have been done by you, Ling. You were trusted by father, and he gave you a large portion of the military force in the country. How could you harm father?"    

    

Even though he suspected that this matter was related to Fourth Prince, the Tenth Prince clearly didn't dare to admit it, especially when he saw Fourth Prince's unpleasant expression.    

    

"En." Fourth Prince nodded after hearing the Tenth Prince's words. Apparently, he was very satisfied with what the Tenth Prince said. "You are right. This matter wasn't done by me. I don't need to do that."    

    

"But, Ling." The Tenth Prince hesitated for a moment before saying to Fourth Prince, "Although this subject believes in you and believes that this matter has nothing to do with you, others might not believe you."    

    

Fourth Prince frowned. He had also thought of this possibility. It could be said that this possibility was very high, especially those princes who had the chance to fight for the throne. After Old Emperor's death, they had completely lost their chance. They would definitely not be willing to give up, and would naturally suspect him.    

    

"Humph! I didn't do this in the first place. If others were to suspect... I can't do anything about it either! " Fourth Prince snorted and said, "However, even if they suspect me, it won't change anything. They can't do anything! "    

    

Fourth Prince was now very confident in himself. There was still Old Emperor who was suppressing him. Now that Old Emperor was dead, no one else was a match for him. He was the strongest existence in this country, while the others... Even if they suspected him and were dissatisfied with him, it was useless. Their strength was simply not enough to shake him.    

    

"Yes, yes, Ling is right." The Tenth Prince replied.    

    

The reality was indeed like this. Otherwise, the Tenth Prince wouldn't have been so aggrieved as to compromise with Fourth Prince. Because, he had also understood the current situation. Even though he hated Fourth Prince very much, Fourth Prince had destroyed his chance of seizing the throne. However, it was true that Fourth Prince was powerful now. No one else could compete with him. The Tenth Prince wanted to live and live a better life. He could only lower his head to Fourth Prince.    

    

Obviously, Fourth Prince was very satisfied with the attitude of the Tenth Prince. As the first prince to submit to him, Fourth Prince had a good impression of the Tenth Prince. He was also prepared to put the Tenth Prince in an important position after he ascended the throne.    

    

As for the other princes?    

    

Humph, if they didn't know what was good for them and went against him... I'm sorry, but once I ascend the throne, I'll take care of them one by one... If they take the initiative to lower their heads, I'll take back all the rights in their hands. In the future, I will let them be free and unfettered kings.    

    

After the carriage fell into silence, only the sound of wheels could be heard. Outside the carriage, there were people constantly passing by, and there were also people constantly greeting Fourth Prince's carriage. Even if they could not see Fourth Prince's face, they did not dare show any disrespect towards him.    

    

This was the situation. They had to do this.
