724. Chapter 724 The Palace Version of Infernal Affairs
"What!" Xia Ziluo was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Why did Xi Muyun leave suddenly? Isn't he Murong Xitian's good brother and his most capable right-hand man?
There must be something going on here, and it's something big.
Xia Ziluo felt it was inconvenient to discuss such a heavy topic in front of the children, so he sent them away: "Ze'er, Xin'er, let's put aside the apology for now. You go back to the room and copy the books. After you have copied enough, I will accompany you."
You guys play."
"Mother~~" Murong Ze and Murong Xin looked at Xia Ziluo aggrievedly, but when they saw Xia Ziluo deliberately blowing his beard and staring, they rubbed their noses and had no choice but to say goodbye and go back to the room to copy books.
"Xiuxiu, please send the children back." Xia Ziluo was worried about the children bumping into each other on the way, so he asked Xiuxiu to escort the children back, and then he felt relieved.
It wasn't until the person was far away that Xia Ziluo asked eagerly: "Why is it so easy that Xi Muyun just left? Are you arguing with him, or is there another mystery behind it?"
This matter is of great importance. Should I tell her?
Murong Xitian didn't suspect that she would inform, but he didn't want her to worry about him. After all, this move was really designed for Xia Qingtian, and once it was launched, it meant that he would soon go to war with Xia Qingtian.
"I seem to have never told you about Xi Muyun." Murong Xitian thought about it and decided to let her know.
Honesty is the key to getting along between husband and wife. If you hide something today, it might become a reason for her to leave you in the future.
And now she has not completely let go of her past resentment towards him. If she wants to get back together, this may be an opportunity.
"Xi Muyun?" Xia Ziluo tried his best to recall. In his impression, Xi Muyun always liked to wear red, was always smiling, and had a super mean mouth. What background would such a person have?
Could it be that there is also "Infernal Affairs" here?
The police turned into gangsters. According to this logic, could it be that this Xi Muyun is also a relative of the emperor, or a prince or general?
"He is not a commoner, but the eighth prince of the Genglan Dynasty. When talking about him, we have to start from the beginning. About seven years ago, Emperor Xuan of the Genglan Dynasty passed away and a new emperor ascended the throne. But this new emperor was not the one who was appointed by Emperor Xuan.
He chose the emperor, but he tampered with the imperial edict and sought to seize the throne. The real successor to the throne should be the fourth prince, that is, Xi Muyun's fourth brother Xi Muqing, the current fourth prince of the Genglan Dynasty." Murong Xitian tried his best to tell the story.
It was simple, but it turned out that it involved the royal family and the fight for the throne, so it couldn't be simple at all.
Xia Ziluo was stunned when he heard this: "Xi Muyun is the Eighth Prince?"
This plot is comparable to the eight sons of the Qing Dynasty seizing the throne. However, it seems that the number of people seizing the throne is a little less, there are only three princes. However, the tampering with the imperial edict is quite similar to Yongzheng. Unofficial history records that Yongzheng usurped the status of the fourteenth prince.
"Do you think Xi Muyun is coquettish and mean-mouthed, not like a noble prince? That is just his protective color. After experiencing life and death, he had to become smooth and sophisticated. As the only insider of the truth, he was killed by the new emperor.
When Murong Xitian was chasing him and escaping to the border, I just happened to pass by there, and he saved his life." Murong Xitian recalled that if they hadn't met by chance, maybe he wouldn't have been able to escape from nothing in just a few years.
Snobbishness has become what it is today, and it can compete with Xia Qingtian.
