Chapter 64 Situation

Xu Qiuyue saw Lu Yuan pause for a moment, she stood beside Lu Yuan as if she didn't see anything, and whispered to him: "She chose to follow Xuan Jiuqing, so she is destined to encounter danger.

Even Xuan Jiuqing was nearly killed. He was treated as a beggar and driven away everywhere, unable to resist. In the end, he was picked up by Xu Chunhua and brought back to the Xu family.

What a pity! She thought she could rise to the top with this favor, but it brought disaster upon herself. "

The royal family members are cold-hearted by nature. Although Xu Chunhua had other intentions, she truly saved Xuan Jiuqing.

If Xuan Jiuqing really wanted to, he should have clearly rejected Xu Chunhua and not given her unnecessary hope.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything.

He just continued eating.

Maybe because I was full, I ate much slower.

"You may have guessed what I want to say! Lu Yuan, there is no absolute freedom in this world. Xu Chunhua wants to rely on Xuan Jiuqing, but it is worthless. Xuan Jiuqing really wants to get rid of this dog-skin plaster.

You don't want to depend on Xuan Jiuqing, but you are valuable and Xuan Jiuqing needs your help.

Although your father is only a small county magistrate, he has a high reputation among the upright people.

Your maternal grandfather is King Ning'an, but as luck would have it, all the children born to your uncles are daughters. You are the only son in the third generation.

Although you have a different surname, your identity means that you are definitely not an ordinary person.

This may not be the first time you have been wronged, but it is the first time you have been sent to prison. If you do not have sufficient strength, the storms you will encounter in the future will be even greater.

You think you can be independent if you don't stand with anyone.

But without sufficient strength, people are just like fallen leaves, flying wherever the wind blows. It seems that they have broken away from the big tree and gained freedom, but everything is controlled by the wind and they have no control over themselves.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now fifty years old, much older than your father.

Xuan Jiuqing is only twenty years old, in the prime of his life.

Although His Majesty is old, he still has ambition.

Among the remaining princes, although Xuan Jiuqing's Qi Hai was injured, his limbs are intact and there is still hope for recovery.

Unlike the other princes, some died and some were completely disabled.

In order to protect himself, the Third Prince took refuge with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he eventually lost his left hand completely due to an accident."

Xu Qiuyue said slowly to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan is very smart and has a good understanding. Before Xu Qiuyue spoke, he thought that Xu Qiuyue would say something unpleasant.

He understood what Xu Qiuyue said. Xu Qiuyue was asking him to fight for power.

Lu Yuan hated the world of fame and fortune the most in his life because he felt very tired and not free.

Being a businessman is different. He is free. As long as he doesn't want to be the richest man in Sheng Dynasty, but only wants to be the richest man in Taohua Town, it is very simple. He just has to fight with Lu's father every day.

Lu Yuan felt a little sad, as his father seemed to be upright and incorruptible.

Knowing that he was not the murderer, he was still thrown into prison. If it was someone else, would Father Lu still put him in jail?

But this time, Wei Yunsheng, the person he trusted the most, said that he was sick and could not fight the lawsuit for him.

However, his servants actually betrayed him and slandered him without any basis.

He was feeling very uncomfortable.

But now after hearing what Xu Qiuyue said, he understood that he was caught up in the struggle for succession.

How could he be so worthy as to be caught up in the struggle between the Crown Prince and Xuan Jiuqing?

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, and said to Xu Qiuyue: "Currently, only Xuan Jiuqing is trying to win me over, and none of the prince's men have shown up. Even if I want to waver and choose a backer, I have no choice but to frame Xuan Jiuqing."

There was another sentence that Lu Yuan didn't say. He could feel that Xuan Jiuqing's attitude towards Xu Qiuyue was unusual.

Xuan Jiuqing seemed to like Xu Qiuyue a little bit. When he was in Lu Mansion, he even met Xu Qiuyue specially. He also wanted to give Xu Qiuyue the jade pendant he carried with him.

Although Lu's father said that Xuan Jiuqing gave the jade pendant to Xu Qiuyue in order to win over the Lu family.

But Lu Yuan felt it was unusual.

"How do you know the prince's men didn't show up?"

Xu Qiuyue asked Lu Yuan back.

Lu Yuan's mind turned over and over, thinking again and again, and he thought about all the people around him, but he still couldn't figure out who the prince's man was.

Xu Qiuyue looked at Lu Yuan's puzzled eyes and kindly answered him: "Who would benefit the most from Xu Chunhua's death? Xuan Jiuqing didn't like Xu Chunhua, but Xu Chunhua was his lifesaver and married to him. If he repays kindness with enmity and people find out.

All the good reputation he had worked so hard to build up over the years would have been in vain.

Moreover, I heard a rumor in the black market a few years ago that the Rakshasa Cult seemed to have taken refuge with the Crown Prince."

Lu Yuan's chopsticks fell to the ground, then he picked them up, wiped them on his body, and continued eating.

The Rakshasa Cult is a well-known evil cult, even worse than the Blood Witch.

The Blood Witch is just a human being after all. She likes the blood of young girls, but she can only use a limited amount of it.

The Rakshasa sect is a group of people.

"How dare you, Prince!"

Lu Yuan didn't dare to say the rest.

Originally, Lu Yuan was thinking about joining the prince.

Unexpectedly, the prince is not a good person either.

That’s right, if the prince was a good man, how could his brothers have met with accidents, some dying and some becoming disabled?

The people in the Rakshasa sect can no longer be described as human beings. They all like to use human lives to practice various evil skills.

It was precisely because of this that it was subjected to comprehensive suppression by the Sheng Dynasty. The Sheng Dynasty had tried to wipe out the Rakshasa Sect many times, but unfortunately, it was never completely wiped out.

"Your Majesty wants to live another 500 years. Your Majesty is only 70 years old now, so he can live another 20 years."

But Xu Qiuyue remembered that the reason why Xuan Jiuqing was able to defeat the prince was not because Xuan Jiuqing was so powerful.

Instead, the Emperor outlasted the Crown Prince, and when Xu Qiuyue died, the Emperor was still alive.

But he won't live long. The emperor will be ninety years old by then, and the prince may be too depressed.

After the age of sixty, one’s health deteriorates day by day.

When he was almost seventy years old, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and eventually died of illness.

The crown prince's position is not secure, he is always worried that his position will be abolished.

In addition, his only son had an accident, and he completely lost his spirit and his health collapsed.

Therefore, both the Crown Prince and Xuan Jiuqing are unreliable.

You can only choose His Majesty.

Xu Qiuyue still remembered that the emperor's health had deteriorated due to years of taking elixirs, and it was Liu Ping who suggested that those elixirs were poisonous and could not be taken.

It is because of her spiritual spring water that His Majesty's health is getting better and better.

Only then did Xu Qiuyue realize that the elixir was poisonous.

It wasn't that the alchemist poisoned on purpose.

Rather, the various heavy metals used by alchemists to make elixirs are poisonous.
