C2715 A Wise Choice

0When Fourth Prince and the Tenth Prince's carriage stopped in the palace, many of them had arrived early. When they saw Fourth Prince's carriage, Wushuang looked at him. These eyes were filled with complex emotions such as trying to please him, doubt, doubt, and so on.    

    

Without a doubt, after Old Emperor's death, Fourth Prince was the most powerful person in the entire Fengjue Country, the one who was most likely to ascend to the throne. His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people.    

    

When they saw that the Tenth Prince was in the same carriage as Fourth Prince, many people were guessing whether the Tenth Prince had already sided with Fourth Prince and expressed his goodwill to him.    

    

In fact, when they thought about it, they didn't find it strange. Now that Fourth Prince had succeeded, it would be very difficult for the other princes to shake his position. If nothing unexpected happened, he would surely ascend to the highest position.    

    

As for the Tenth Prince, he had always been an inconspicuous existence amongst the princes. He simply didn't have the strength and ability to fight for the throne. The generals had to surrender to New Emperor. And now, the situation had become very obvious. So... It wasn't strange for the Tenth Prince to take the initiative to express his goodwill to Fourth Prince.    

    

No one felt that there was anything wrong with what the Tenth Prince had done. Instead, they felt that what he had done was very wise.    

    

Of course, the other princes didn't think so. They looked at Fourth Prince and the Tenth Prince with furious eyes. In their point of view, they originally had the chance to fight for the throne. But now... Now that Old Emperor had suddenly died, their plan had completely failed. In this situation, only the strongest person could stand out from the rest. The strength of these princes couldn't be compared to Fourth Prince after they ascended to the throne.    

    

However, the other princes weren't willing to accept this. They were unwilling to accept this. They had been working hard for a long time to make them give up just like that. They were truly unable to accept this, in the eyes of these princes... As long as Fourth Prince hadn't ascended the throne, they would have a chance. But now, the Tenth Prince had already surrendered to Fourth Prince. To them, this was no different from betrayal, a sign of weakness. Although they didn't put the Tenth Prince in their eyes before this... However, at this crucial moment, there was someone at the level of a prince... Submitting to Fourth Prince would surely boost Fourth Prince's morale.    

    

Therefore, when the other princes saw the Tenth Prince's expression, they didn't look very good.    

    

The Tenth Prince didn't care about this. If it was possible... Of course, he didn't want to express his goodwill to Fourth Prince. However... The situation was better than the others. Now that Fourth Prince was in a powerful position, the only person he could show his hand to was... He was even assassinated. What could he do? Should he continue fighting to the death and fight for the throne with Fourth Prince? Isn't that courting death?    

    

Since he was certain that there was no way for him to seize the throne, he naturally had to seek refuge with the future emperor first. Only then would he be able to obtain the greatest and greatest benefits... As for what the others thought, he did not care. It had nothing to do with him.    

    

Besides, the Tenth Prince even thought that it would be best if the others fell out with Fourth Prince. In that case, he would be the only one who would seek refuge with Fourth Prince. Once Fourth Prince ascended the throne, he would be able to enjoy all the benefits by himself.    

    

Fourth Prince ignored the gazes of the other princes. In his point of view, those people would be the losers. No matter how angry their eyes were, it wouldn't have any effect on them. It could only reflect their incompetence.    

    

Fourth Prince walked into the main hall with the Tenth Prince. Old Emperor's corpse was still there, but it had already been processed. At least he didn't look like he was in a bad shape, but the wound on his neck... But it was clearly visible.    

    

Fourth Prince frowned slightly. No matter what he was thinking, it was naturally inappropriate for him to be too happy at this moment. He turned to the Imperial Guards officer beside him and asked, "Have you found the murderer?"    

    

"No." The general said awkwardly, "Many people didn't see what the murderer looked like before they were knocked out. However, palace maid had told a few eunuchs. Before they were knocked out, they had met someone who asked where His Majesty was. That person might be the murderer. We have already followed the description of the few palace maid and the eunuchs. Painting It's done! The portrait is currently being searched throughout the city. I believe we'll be able to catch the culprit very soon."    

    

Someone had infiltrated the palace and killed Old Emperor. To this general of the Imperial Army... He has failed his job. He had to bear a great responsibility. Thus, regarding the arrest of the murderer... He was particularly concerned about it, and the only thing he could do was to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Only then could he make up for his mistakes.    

    

Of course, even if the murderer was caught, Old Emperor would not be able to wake up.    

    

"It's necessary to search the entire city, but it must be carried out secretly. We shouldn't make it too obvious. " The general thought that Fourth Prince would agree with his actions. However, Fourth Prince refuted his idea. "Now, we are confronting the army of Yuan Feng Country. If it is because of the murderer, it will cause a storm in the city. If that is the case, it will make the people in the city panic. It's not good for us to defend the city, so we can arrest them. However... We can't make too much noise."    

    

"However, sending out a large number of troops to conduct a search, the commotion definitely won't be small... If we send too few people, there won't be too much of a commotion. However, if that's the case, it would be very difficult to catch the culprit. " The Imperial Army commander said hesitantly.    

    

It was clear that this was a dilemma. He wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible. In that case, he would have to send out a lot of people. He would definitely send out a lot of people. It would be very difficult to catch the murderer. After all, there would be a lot of people. Whether or not they could find the murderer, that would be considered true. There might not be one who could catch the murderer. After all, the murderer could sneak into the palace and kill the emperor without a sound. He was not weak, if there were too few people... He would probably not be a match for the other party.    

    

"Then I don't care!" Fourth Prince said, "The most important thing right now is to have a decisive battle with Yuan Feng Country. This concerns the future of our Fengjue Country. Nothing else can affect this matter. Not even father's death! "    

    

In Fourth Prince's heart, Old Emperor was dead. He didn't really care about it. What he cared about was the battle with Yuan Feng Country. As long as he could defeat the army of the Yuan Feng Country outside the city... Then... They would be able to unify the entire outer area of the pass. Such a temptation... He could not refuse... Therefore... In his heart... The battle with the Yuan Feng Country was the most important.    

    

"Now that the city gates have been closed, the murderer must still be in the city. It doesn't matter even if we can't catch him within a short period of time. Anyway, he must be in this city. As long as we defeat the army of Yuan Feng Country... At that time, we will have plenty of time and energy to search for him! " Fourth Prince continued.
