Chapter 43: You've Probably Been Suspected for a Long Time
Qin Zhuo thought he would experience a secret entry into the palace, but he was taken from the east to the west of the city and then into a homestay.
"Is it okay for the prince to be away from his chambers at night?"
Although he knew that this was for the purpose of concealment, Qin Zhuo still couldn't understand it. As the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire and the next Tiandou Emperor, is it really appropriate for you to leave the palace so late at night?
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. Now that the young master has come out, everything will be safe."
The middle-aged man said calmly that there were not many of them in Tiandou City, but they were definitely elite!
Although it is impossible to overturn the city, it is still possible to do something if you want to.
Hearing this, Qin Zhuo did not continue to ask questions. Being curious was one thing, but forget about chatting with them about political infiltration!
Not long after, the middle-aged man sent Qin Zhuo to a villa and then left. In the villa, Xue Qinghe, dressed in a white robe, had already prepared food and was waiting for him.
Qin Zhuo pursed his lips and glanced towards the southeast corner of the courtyard. There were two strong auras there, and they didn't seem to be deliberately hiding themselves.
"These past few days I've been wondering who Grandpa would send over, and my intuition told me it was you... I didn't expect it to be you."
Qian Renxue looked at Qin Zhuo and said with a smile, but when she saw that he looked haggard, she paused.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look like he's in a critical situation!"
Seeing Qian Renxue's leisurely posture and remembering his own rush along the way, Qin Zhuo said with a face full of resentment.
Do you know how I've been spending these days? I even pee at the right time!
Qin Zhuo's complaining attitude made Qian Renxue stunned. Whether in the Spirit Hall or in Tiandou City, everyone was respectful to her. Not to mention complaining about her, few people even spoke loudly.
Snake Spear Douluo and Thorny Porpoise Douluo, who were hiding in the shadows, were also startled by Qin Zhuo's actions. They stared at him carefully, wondering, "How could they have never seen this person before? Why does he look so familiar with the young master?"
Moreover, even the Pope's own disciple wouldn't have the guts to speak to the young master like this!
After all, he was sent to communicate with Qian Renxue, so even if he didn't know her true identity, he would definitely be given special instructions.
"Worrying won't solve the problem... You arrived in Tiandou City by now. Didn't you get much rest on the way?"
Looking at Qin Zhuo's condition, one could tell where his complaints came from, but Qian Renxue didn't say much.
"Hurry up and tell me what's going on. If we finish this sooner, I can go back to sleep..."
Okay! You still remember to care about yourself, but sister, you should talk about the matter!
"Okay! Actually, the matter is not complicated. For some reason, someone in the Tiandou royal family has become suspicious of my identity and has been causing trouble for me recently. Although I am confident that they can't find out anything, if this continues, it will have a great impact on my future plans. It is better to deal with it just in case."
Qian Renxue told Qin Zhuo a general idea of the situation. Emperor Tiandou Xue Ye had many children. During the period of hiding, she took action to deal with some of them in order to stabilize the identity of Prince Xue Qinghe.
But no matter what, these people were all princes. If they all died, the royal family would have to conduct a thorough investigation, so the only way to deal with some of them was exile.
Forget about those who have no hope of the throne. Even if they are still in Tiandou City, they cannot pose a threat to Xue Qinghe. The difficult ones are the favored princes.
For example, now, the third prince was originally exiled, but he accidentally got in touch with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and after several operations, he returned to Tiandou City.
As soon as this guy came back, he confronted Xue Qinghe with a tough attitude. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he secretly brought out the issue of his identity. It was just that there was no evidence, so the matter was not made a big deal. However, this incident left a rift in the royal family.
As a result, during this period of time, many members of the royal family were testing her openly or covertly, and Qian Renxue had to meet them in order to maintain her image.
"Is my identity in doubt? What's the old emperor's attitude?"
Well! No wonder Qian Daoliu is so anxious, this is how it feels!
But honestly, Qin Zhuo felt that Qian Renxue's identity being exposed was no big deal! He could also use this opportunity to go home and get rid of the burden on his shoulders.
To put it bluntly, even if Emperor Xue Ye passed away and Qian Renxue became the new monarch of Tiandou, there was no way to directly make the Tiandou Empire dependent on the Spirit Hall. Neither the court officials nor the aristocracy would agree.
"The Emperor naturally still trusts me, which is why I'm confident they won't find any evidence. However, in power struggles, the truth isn't always important. If this voice persists, the Emperor will be framed, and then things will get tough."
Qian Renxue said lightly that although she could not say that the situation was set, she had been sitting firmly on the throne of the crown prince for more than ten years and it was not so easy to shake it.
"I still haven't figured out why the Third Prince doubted my identity the moment he returned. I thought I hadn't revealed any flaws over the years."
In order to become Xue Qinghe, she not only imitated his every move and became familiar with his every habit, she even used the inherited soul bone of the angel lineage. She did not think that she had made any mistakes.
"It's not important to worry about these things now! To put it nicely, Xue Qinghe and the Third Prince are brothers, but they are rivals in life and death! Although suspicion of your identity touches your most critical point, in the struggle for imperial power, even the most outrageous excuses will exist. It's also possible that this is just a means for him to deal with the Crown Prince."
Qin Zhuo checked the original novel and found that the Third Prince had never appeared at all, which means that there were new changes in the development of the plot.
Putting aside the constraints of the original work, although I have never been a prince, I have watched a lot of ancient costume political dramas and am also familiar with history. Combined with the current situation, I can see some things.
"You still understand this?"
Hearing Qin Zhuo's words, Qian Renxue looked at Qin Zhuo with some surprise. She had worked hard in the Tiandou Palace for so long, it was not surprising that she knew these things, but the guy in front of her had no such experience.
"I understand a little bit... But there's still something fishy about your situation. Putting aside why an exiled prince would be associated with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, do you think the royal family would trust him so easily? Royal blood ties shouldn't allow for emotional connections, right? It seems to me that some within the royal family have long suspected you."
Qin Zhuo waved his hand pretentiously and said, then he immediately gave the conclusion, which made Qian Renxue stunned.
Because Qin Zhuo's conclusion was tantamount to denying all her efforts over the years.
Qian Renxue's first reaction was to refute, but when she thought of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family around the Third Prince and those testing royal family members, she didn't know what to say.
She really wanted to ask, since he had suspected it for a long time, why didn't he cause trouble for herself earlier?
But she also understood that slandering the prince was a serious crime, and if she couldn't produce evidence, she would only wait for death!
Just like this time, the Third Prince did not express his suspicion directly, but only guided him secretly.
