“The late Emperor treated his uncle quite well as well. Because the two of them were of the same age and had grown up together, he was able to live a peaceful life with the title Prince Ying.
“My father actually treated him quite well too. Even though he still had some complaints about the fact that my father had succeeded to the throne, he had never thought of rebelling. However, in his previous life, my father passed away after a coma. Everyone thought that the Crown Prince had really been cut into pieces, so Prince Yi succeeded to the throne. Prince Yi was a b*stard son so Prince Ying couldn’t take it anymore. He felt that he was much more respected than Prince Yi, so he secretly rebelled. Later on, he even openly started recruiting soldiers and buying the hearts of the soldiers.
“In the beginning, Prince Yi had no way of dealing with Prince Ying at all. This was because he had just ascended the throne, and it seemed like the situation was already set. However, many people were tempted to betray him because of his young age. Prince Ying wasn’t the only one.
“In the tenth year of Prince Yi t s reign, his position became stable. At that time, he couldn’t tolerate Prince Ying becoming brazen and took action.”
“Did he succeed?” Jiang Yue asked.”
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded.
Jiang Yue stared at him. In her previous life, Prince Yi was already 18 years old when he was in the tenth year of his reign. He would have been an official long ago. Now that he had become an official, if he didn’t hold back, no one would be able to defeat him. Prince Yi would have definitely sent an army to eliminate Prince Ying.
Xue Yan instantly broke out into laughter. Immediately after, he still sighed before nodding his head and saying in a low voice, “Yes, I helped him get rid of Prince Ying.”
“He used you.” Jiang Yue immediately concluded. Without waiting for him to speak, she said calmly, “l won’t go easy on him.”
In this life, Prince Yi had only sent people to investigate the relationship between them instead of immediately murdering them. Obviously, he wanted to see if Xue Yan could still be used in this life.
Knowing that she was protective of him, Xue Yan did not refute. He even nodded with a smile in his eyes. “Yes.” Whether she would let him go or not, he would never let Prince Yi go in this lifetime.
“Did Prince Ying die in the end?”Jiang Yue asked again.
Xue Yan shook his head. “Prince Yings seniority in the royal family was too prestigious, and Prince Yi wanted to show his mercy, so he didn’t kill him. In the end, Prince Ying was only put under house arrest.”
After a pause, Xue added, “Prince Ying is the most powerful person among all the people who had fiefs. He still has some complaints about what happened back then. He still thinks that he should have succeeded the throne. Since Prince Yi is reborn, he might use this complaint in Prince Yings heart to instigate Prince Ying to rebel. Then he will benefit from the chaos and slowly lay a foundation for himself. Only then will he have the capital to compete for the throne in the future.
“Also, Prince Yings fief is in the Jing Yue region. Prince Yi had sent his warrior to meet up with him in the Jing Yue area. Presumably, his first thought might be to make use of Prince Ying.”
“Then the first person he wants to use should be Prince Ying.” Jiang Yue nodded in agreement. Then, Jiang Yue lowered her head again and looked at the names on the paper. “Then who are Mu Huanyu, He LianBai, and Yu Yunzheng? You circled those names as well.”
However, these three names were written in slightly smaller font than Prince Yings, and they were placed quite close to the center of the paper.
“Mu Huanyu is Prince Liyang, Helian Bai is Prince Dingzi, and Yu Yunzheng is Prince Weimin..”
