Chapter 1423: Chapter 1417

Fuzhou is one of the Three Great Sovereign Countries. The position of the Fuzhou Crown Prince can be described as being under one and above the multitude.

Besides the Fuzhou Emperor, that’s Wu Yuan.

"You know only one part, not the whole picture. You come from Longteng, a Vassal Country where the Crown Prince is born of the Empress, so it’s not obvious; however, Fuzhou is a Sovereign Country. The Fuzhou Emperor has a harem of three hundred beauties. Wu Yuan’s mother was also the former Empress, who passed away years ago. Currently, the most favored in the court is Noble Princess Consort Zhu, who also has a son, the Fourth Prince. Besides her, other noble concubines also each have offspring. Furthermore, there are various political factions within the court supporting different princes. The former Empress was the daughter of the Grandmaster, but the Grandmaster passed away many years ago, and no one from the Grandmaster’s family holds any official position now. In contrast, Noble Princess Consort Zhu’s elder brother is the foremost general in court, holding military power. With what I’ve explained, you should understand."

Tu Suxuan roughly explained the current situation in Fuzhou.

"Is Noble Princess Consort Zhu dissatisfied because her son has been subordinate for too long, so she plotted against my second brother?"

Xin Lin is well-versed in various palace drama shows, so intrigues within the royal court are common knowledge to him.

"Your second brother had only me as a close friend. Back then, for self-preservation and also to enhance his cultivation, he traveled with me. He was a carefree person by nature, as you’re aware, but being the Crown Prince, he had no other choice. He became a mercenary to train himself, but also to escape the palace’s constraints. Unfortunately, you can evade for a moment but not for a lifetime."

Tu Suxuan shook his head in sigh.

He too was born into a family, well aware that family sons often cannot dictate their own fate, let alone the Royal Family like Wu Yuan.

Just a few days ago, Tu Suxuan received a letter from Xin Lin; he came to Yunshui City.

Before departing, Wu Yuan wanted to accompany him.

However, just before departure, Wu Yuan suddenly received news that the Fuzhou Emperor wanted to worship Heaven.

Worshipping Heaven is a significant event in Fuzhou, and as a Prince, Wu Yuan naturally couldn’t be absent.

He could only entrust Tu Suxuan to deliver his regards to Xin Lin and sincerely invite Xin Lin to Wangjing.

The plan was to personally entertain Xin Lin after arriving in Wangjing, but who would have thought, before the worship ceremony formally began, Wu Yuan himself encountered an incident.

Due to limited space, Wu Yuan didn’t specify the details in the letter, only knowing the incident occurred at the Sealing Land, and Wu Yuan’s situation isn’t looking good.

"If he’s injured, why can’t he inform the Fuzhou Emperor? Isn’t he the biological father of my second brother?"

Xin Lin asked puzzled.

"The Fuzhou Emperor has become increasingly violent over the years; even Wu Yuan as the Crown Prince finds it difficult to approach him. Only Noble Princess Consort Zhu can console the Fuzhou Emperor. Noble Princess Consort Zhu has been speaking ill of Wu Yuan to the Fuzhou Emperor, causing discord between father and son. This worship ceremony appeared routine for the Fuzhou Emperor but was actually designed as a test by ministers led by Noble Princess Consort Zhu’s brother for Wu Yuan. They claim that as the Crown Prince, he must stand alone. If he can’t preside over the worship ceremony, how is he fit to be the Crown Prince? They want to use this worship ceremony to find fault and dethrone Wu Yuan."

Tu Suxuan sighed.

In fact, he and Wu Yuan went to Longteng to seek the Dragon Vein also to deal with Noble Princess Consort Zhu and her brother.

Noble Princess Consort Zhu and her brother have been disrupting the harem, and as for her brother, he has significant cultivation in Martial Arts. Currently, in Fuzhou, military power is almost entirely in his hands!
