Chapter 135: Xuan Ruiquan’s Arrival
Ke Xianhao rolled his eyes at Xie Yanghui and said, "You didn’t! You never mentioned that your Shifu is Emperor Yong’an’s grandfather. No wonder you accepted Emperor Yong’an as your disciple and were very protective of him. It turns out that you two are still a family."
Seeing his angry look, Xie Yanghui shrugged and said casually, "Now you know."
After calming down, Ke Xianhao asked, "So that is the reason why you doubt Rui Qinwang?"
Xie Yanghui nodded to his friend and said, "Mhm. Given the Empress Dowager’s ambitious character, she would not be satisfied if the person sitting on the dragon throne was not her biological son."
Hearing this, Ke Xianhao fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "I will investigate Rui Qinwang’s movements in the past seven years. If he really has the intention to usurp the throne, he will definitely do a lot of things since he lived in his Rui Qinwang Mansion."
Xie Yanghui nodded and said calmly, "Then I will leave this matter to you. Please inform me when you find anything."
Ke Xianhao filled his empty cup with wine and said, "All right. I will let you know as soon as I find something."
While the ministers and generals attending the banquet in Qian Qing Palace observed each other, in Yang Xin Palace, where Emperor Yong’an lived, a group of people sneaked in quietly without anyone noticing.
In the side hall, Emperor Yong’an lay on the long reclining couch placed beside the large round window, yawning tiredly. He wiped the tears carelessly with his sleeve, then placed the book he was reading on the side table. When he felt a gust of wind blowing in and the candlelight flickered for a moment, the corners of his lips curved up.
