Jie Kong, upon hearing this, only wanted to sneer: "Useless thing, still afraid of his wife? Just a re woman, what’s there to be afraid of."
Sun Qing lightly coughed and said, "Well, I think it’s because he’s trying to please the General on the Second Prince Consort’s side. After all, a quarter of the military power in Liehuo Country is in the General’s hands, so it’s not unreasonable for the Second Prince to act this way..."
Jie Kong stood with his hands behind his back, though his face showed no expression, his tone was full of disdain, saying sternly, "Having to rely on a woman to stabilize his own position, allowing a woman to ride over him, only the Second Prince would do such a ludicrous thing!"
Sun Qing nodded in agreent, "The Second Prince Consort indeed is heard to be sowhat domineering, the Second Prince is daring to be angry but not daring to speak in her presence."
Jie Kong snorted coldly and asked, "What about the Fourth Prince?"
The Eldest Prince was born from the noble consort, the Second Prince’s mother, however, was just a minor consort.
Below them, the Third Prince, who is the Crown Prince, was born from the Empress.
Remarkably, the Crown Prince was ingrained with the respect for order since his youth, and showed no disdain towards his half-brothers, having been taught by the Emperor and Empress to be knowledgeable and treat others with courtesy.
Disappointingly, these brothers, whom he never looked down upon, conspired together to harm him.
Nowadays, when they are ntioned, Jie Kong naturally doesn’t have a good expression.
Sun Qing slightly coughed and said, "King Xuan is quite likely."
Among the ten or so princes, only five were adults.
Among them, only the Crown Prince was conferred the title of Surprise Attack King, and Fourth Prince Yulin, having rendered ritorious service, was conferred the title of King Xuan.
King Xuan is now twenty-one years old, only a year younger than the Surprise Attack King, yet he is amiable and resourceful.
Jie Kong was unsure whether he had participated in this event, but such a character as Yulin certainly wouldn’t willingly remain beneath others.
Nowadays people often say, if the Crown Prince falls, King Xuan is the most likely to be established as the Crown Prince.
Jie Kong squinted his eyes, "Did he go anywhere last ti when he accompanied to Moyan Country?"
Sun Qing thought for a mont and said, "There didn’t seem to be any suspicious places, if there were it should have been discovered last ti."
Indeed.
Because people were sent to keep an eye on him.
After all, King Xuan was too much of a threat to him.
Sun Qing thought for a mont and said, "But if King Xuan wants to avoid our surveillance, it is not impossible. After all, he knows who are our people."
Jie Kong glanced sideways, "He knows?"
"I am speculating, King Xuan may not know exactly who, but his martial arts prowess is on par with yours, if he wants to avoid detection, it wouldn’t be difficult."
Jie Kong squinted his eyes, "This brother of mine truly is enough to keep worried."
"Indeed, King Xuan is excessively excellent."
"What about Lao Wu?"
"The Fifth Prince... is said to have been following the Empress Dowager chanting prayers and hasn’t visited Moyan Country."
"Why has he started playing that trick?" Jie Kong glanced sideways, "This Lao Wu has always liked strolling and teasing birds, causing trouble every day, hasn’t he?"
"Because he was confined, the Emperor let the Empress Dowager discipline him, so..."
Jie Kong shook his head, "Pitiful."
Sun Qing thought it over and said, "Therefore, King Xuan’s possibility is the greatest, and besides... King Xuan’s appearance is most similar to yours."
Indeed.
Jie Kong had also thought of this point.
