Chapter 898: Chapter 848: Life Simulation – Palace Upheaval
“However, as a prince who has already come this far, it would be strange if he lacked ambition,” Pei Xuanjing’s eyes lit up with curiosity.
From the Ninth Prince’s visit to Pei Xuanjing, it was apparent that this prince was quite ambitious, having his own plans and not willing to act entirely as the old Emperor had anticipated.
To Pei Xuanjing, this was only to be expected. Whether by choice or by circumstance, the Ninth Prince had come to a point of no return. Having involved himself in the struggle for succession, regardless of his initial intentions, such was the reality.
Thus, if he could not emerge victorious, he would not fare well under the rule of either the Second or Third Prince who ascended the throne. Considering this, he might as well give it his all.
“In that case, the battle for the throne is likely to become even more thrilling,” Pei Xuanjing’s deep gaze betrayed no emotion.
Whether in the past or present, Pei Xuanjing had always been an observer, never involving himself in the struggle for succession because it was simply not worth his effort.
...
A mere Mortal Dynasty couldn’t compare to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, so why should Pei Xuanjing bother to contend for it? Perhaps if it were a Divine Dynasty with the heritage of a True Immortal, then it might be worthwhile for him to compete.
The Ninth Prince’s visit was but a minor episode in Pei Xuanjing’s life, of no concern to him, yet for the entire Royal Capital, especially for the Second and Third Princes who had thought victory was within their grasp, it certainly complicated matters.
