Universe Storage Box

Two bad things in a row disappeared, and the Tenth Prince was completely defeated. These two pieces of news had almost made him lose all possibility of competing for the throne. Therefore, he had always been in a bad mood. On the way to the Imperial Palace, he seemed to be somewhat absent-minded. The surrounding people greeted him, but he did not hear them most of the time.    

    

And now, Fourth Prince had invited them to the Imperial Palace. The Tenth Prince naturally didn't want to stay with Fourth Prince. In that case, it would be as if the other party was showing off to him that they had won the competition. He was going to face Fourth Prince as the victor as a loser.    

    

Besides, no one else knew about it, but the Tenth Prince knew about it. The reason why he lost the chance to fight for the throne was because Fourth Prince had sent someone to kill General Yan. It could be said that the opponent had destroyed the possibility of him fighting for the throne. Under such circumstances, how could the Tenth Prince be willing to be alone with the other party?    

    

However, the situation was stronger than the others. Now, it was not just the ministers. The Tenth Prince also realized that among the princes... The strongest one was Fourth Prince. If nothing unexpected happened... Fourth Prince would soon be able to defeat the other princes with his absolute strength. After that... To the throne of the Emperor.    

    

Therefore, it was obviously not a wise decision to offend Fourth Prince at this time.    

    

And because of this, after hearing Fourth Prince's invitation, the Tenth Prince cursed him in his heart. However... He forced a smile on his face. Then, he recalled that he, father, had just passed away. He stopped smiling.    

    

"Then I'll have to trouble Fourth Brother." The Tenth Prince said politely.    

    

"No problem, it's on the way. Anyway, I have to go to the Imperial Palace." Fourth Prince said with a smile. He was somewhat unscrupulous, and the smile on his face showed no intention of hiding.    

    

"Right. father has just gone to the Immortal World. This country cannot be without a ruler for a day. We, the Fengjue Country, will need to rely on Fourth Brother's leadership in the future." The Tenth Prince said respectfully on the surface.    

    

"It's still a matter of not being seen. It's too early to talk about this now. We should deal with father's funeral first." Fourth Prince waved his hand and said. However, from the confident smile on his face, anyone could tell that he was determined to get the throne. Although he said it with uncertainty, however, in his heart... He must have already regarded the throne as something in his hands.    

    

"Fourth Brother is being modest. In the entire Fengjue Country, who can be more qualified than Fourth Brother to inherit the throne? If it was someone else who succeeded the throne, I would be the first to express my dissatisfaction." The Tenth Prince still spoke respectfully to Fourth Prince.    

    

What the Tenth Prince said made Fourth Prince very happy. After all... Fourth Prince was also a prince, and theoretically, he was qualified to inherit the throne. Now that he had said so, it was obvious that he had expressed his sincere admiration for ___. This made Fourth Prince feel a little proud in his heart.    

    

"I know that Tenth Brother has always been very talented. If I can really get that position, I will definitely treat you well." Fourth Prince promised.    

    

Fourth Prince wasn't stupid, even though he was very strong now. However, not everyone in this country supported him. Some of them would certainly support the other princes. In this way, there would surely be a competition for the throne.    

    

Under such circumstances, Fourth Prince naturally hoped to get more support. Although he already felt that he was the strongest, even if there were other people who opposed it. It wouldn't affect the final result. However... He also didn't want any accidents to happen. Thus, it was always good to have one more person to support him.    

    

Especially since the Tenth Prince was a prince, his support... Of course it's more important than the other generals and ministers. From the very beginning, Fourth Prince had never regarded the Tenth Prince as an opponent. Of course! He wanted to win him over. It's not impossible.    

    

"Then Chen-er will first thank Fourth Brother." The Tenth Prince cupped his hands and said.    

    

Although he really wanted to ascend to that position, however, it seemed like it was no longer possible. Since that was impossible, he needed to consider his future path ahead of time. Supporting the future emperor in advance was obviously a good choice.    

    

After Fourth Prince ascended the throne, it would be good if he could be put in an important position. His life would no longer be in danger, and he would still be able to obtain some power. This was already a good result.    

    

Of course, whenever he thought of the throne, his heart would bleed. No matter how good the other positions were, they couldn't be compared to the throne. He naturally wanted the throne more. He knew that it seemed impossible now. He could only retreat and seek the next best.    

    

"No problem, no problem. You and I are brothers. Naturally, we should support each other." Fourth Prince said with a smile.    

    

"That's right, that's right." The Tenth Prince replied, "I will definitely stand on Ling's side."    

    

The Tenth Prince knew the reason why Fourth Prince was so friendly to him. If he was the slightest threat to ___... ___ wouldn't welcome him with a smile.    

    

The Tenth Prince felt somewhat aggrieved in his heart. He naturally didn't want to be looked down upon like this. However, he didn't have the right to say anything tough now. He even felt fortunate that Fourth Prince didn't treat him as a threat.    

    

"Tenth Brother, tell me, how did father die?" Fourth Prince changed the topic to Old Emperor. "According to the news from the palace, father died in an assassination attempt. The guards, eunuchs, palace maid, and others outside the palace were all knocked unconscious. Those people didn't even know how many assassins there were and what they looked like. Obviously, this assassin came prepared and was an expert. However, I don't know who is behind him and what his purpose is."    

    

As Fourth Prince spoke, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, as if he was thinking about who had assassinated Old Emperor.    

    

The Tenth Prince was secretly observing Fourth Prince's expression. He wanted to see if he was putting on an act. The first thing he did when he found out that Old Emperor had been assassinated... The Tenth Prince's first suspect was Fourth Prince. After all... Fourth Prince had benefited the most from Old Emperor's death. He was now the strongest. As long as Old Emperor died, he would have the greatest chance to ascend to the throne.    

    

As for the other princes, including him, they would lose the chance to fight for the throne. They might even get revenge from Fourth Prince. Therefore, Fourth Prince had the motive to assassinate Old Emperor.    

    

However, Fourth Prince now looked like he had no idea what kind of assassin he was. The Tenth Prince didn't know if he was putting on an act or not. But... He did not dare to question him face to face, as that would put him in danger. He obviously wouldn't do that.
