Chapter 1920: Ambition!
 

Seeing the Emperor’s appearance, Yuwen Xuhong instantly understood the Emperor’s intentions.

Then, he smiled bitterly and said,” I see, I see!”

The heir, in the eyes of the Imperial Grandfather, had always been the Crown Prince’s Imperial Uncle, and he had given them hope only because he wanted them to train with the Crown Prince.

Yuwen Xuhong felt sad.

Perhaps this was also the sorrow of the royal family.

However, he was still very resentful and angry.

He complained,” Since you wanted to give me freedom from the start, why did you give me hope? You let me see hope, but in the end, I fell into despair. Royal Grandfather, sob sob…”

At this point, the Emperor could no longer answer.

His original intention was to let Yuwen Feiye and Yuwen Xuhong accompany the Crown Prince to train. With the Crown Prince’s generous personality, after he ascended the throne, he would definitely not kill his brothers and even treat these brothers and nephews well.

Before he passed away, he would definitely order the Crown Prince to set Yuwen Xuhong free.

However…

Yuwen Xuhong’s entire body went limp. He felt powerless and defeated. He laughed at himself and said,” Hehe, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have taken the risk and made so many mistakes!”

There was resentment, hatred, unwillingness, grievance, sadness, and bitterness in his tone!

Hearing Yuwen Xuhong’s words, everyone fell silent.

Right or wrong, at this moment, it was already impossible to judge.

However, no matter if it was right or wrong, Yuwen Xuhong’s grave mistake was simply irreparable and unforgivable.

The Crown Prince was shocked!

Speaking of which, emperors were unpredictable!

What happened today had completely overturned his understanding of the emperor.

In the past, he thought that his father had made him the Crown Prince because he liked his mother.

Later on, he slowly noticed that the Third Prince began to fight for power and profit. He used his mother’s favour and the power of his mother’s clan to constantly provoke him, the Crown Prince. He even had the intention of replacing him.

If The Third Prince hadn’t committed suicide and forced his father to abdicate, perhaps he might have lost his position as Crown Prince.

This was because Yuwen Feiye had done a meritorious job in investigating the case and had won over a portion of the courtiers. Under the hint of the Zhou family, there was even a faint intention to abolish him as the Crown Prince and make Yuwen Feiye the Crown Prince.

However, they were all suppressed by his father.

After that, he failed to force the abdication and ended up in a miserable state.

Only now did he understand that he had long been designated as the heir by his father. In order to train him to become a qualified heir, he did not hesitate to use his own son and grandson.

His heart was very shocked, and at the same time, he felt a surge of sadness.

This was the tragedy of being a member of the royal family!

If he was not recognized as the heir, then as the son of the Empress, would he also become a chess piece in the hands of his father like them?

He didn’t need to look for the answer to this hypothesis. He knew that it was certain.

” So, you guys have already reached some sort of cooperation at the five-nation exchange meeting?” Lin Yuelan said with certainty,” Back then, was Xiao Jingyu marrying into the Imperial Grandprince Manor also one of the conditions for your cooperation?”

Yuwen Xuhong nodded,” Yes! Xiao Jingyu married into the Imperial Zhangsun Estate to keep an eye on me. Secondly, there was an excuse to work together to better communicate and pass on information!”

“So, after I rejected Xiao Jingrui’s proposal, they purposefully chose you.” Lin Yuelan asked sharply.

“Yes!” Yuwen Xuhong did not deny it.

“Bastard!” Upon hearing this, the Emperor became furious again.

He had never thought that there was such a conspiracy behind the fake princess Xiao Jingyu marrying into the Imperial Grandprince Manor.

“Then, did you know that Xiao Jingyu was a fake?” Lin Yuelan asked again.

“I don’t know!” Yuwen Xuhong shook his head and said,” I only knew that this was fake when you exposed the fake Xiao Jingyu’s identity!”

Lin Yuelan nodded. She glanced at the Crown Princess Consort and then at Yuwen Xuhong. She asked sharply again,” Then, when did the Crown Princess Consort and His Royal Highness, the eldest grandprince, start working together?”

As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, the expressions of the people present changed. However, the purpose of this change was different.

“Three months ago!” Since things had come to this, Yuwen Xuhong had nothing to hide.

Moreover, Lin Yuelan’s question meant that she already had the relevant evidence. Therefore, he had to confess!
