Chapter 1917: Yuwen Xuhong’s Explanation
Who would have thought that Lin Yuelan would nod her head and say,” Of course!”

Yuwen Xuhong was speechless.

Everyone was speechless.

Wasn’t she too direct?

” As an emperor, other than the way of the emperor and the art of power, you need to be diligent, benevolent, broad-minded, and make decisions when you can. You need to use your talents wisely. May I ask, which of these things have you achieved?” Lin Yuelan said sharply,” I only see a narrow-minded person who trades with an enemy country and betrays the country. He is a traitor!”

When it came to sinners, Lin Yuelan showed no mercy at all!

Yuwen Xuhong was originally unwilling to accept this. However, after hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, he was like a deflated tire. He instantly deflated, appearing vexed and on the verge of collapse.

A sinner who betrayed the country was a traitor!

This sentence made Yuwen Xuhong’s heart tremble, thoroughly sending him into the eighteen levels of hell!

Even if he wanted to wake up and regret it, it was useless!

The things he had done and the sins he had committed were already irreparable.

Was it because of this that Imperial Grandfather was completely disappointed in him?

At this moment, Yuwen Xuhong felt despair!

Regret, grievance, despair, and all sorts of other expressions intertwined together, letting him know how big of a mistake he had made!

When Lin Yuelan saw Yuwen Xuhong’s expression, the corners of her mouth curled up. She then asked sternly,” Your Highness, shouldn’t you explain everything clearly?”

Yuwen Xuhong did not reject.

He thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and said,” Okay!”

Then, he told her how he had hooked up with Zhou Anping and how he had plotted all the conspiracies.

Yuwen Xuhong said,” The matter started when Imperial Uncle was made the Crown Prince.”

When the Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu was conferred the title of Crown Prince by the Emperor, he had just passed the age of twenty. The eldest grandson of the Emperor, Yuwen Xuhong, was sixteen at the time, several years younger than the Crown Prince.

The two of them were of similar age, and with their special blood relationship, their relationship was naturally deeper.

Because of the Emperor’s promise, Yuwen Xuhong thought that he would be the Crown Prince in the future. Naturally, he would be strict with himself.

However, when he suddenly heard that the Emperor had made his Imperial Uncle the Crown Prince and ignored him, he naturally felt a surge of anger from being deceived and felt a little wronged.

He wanted to question the Emperor, but he was afraid that he would make the Emperor unhappy and incur his wrath, so he had been holding back.

At this time, some rumours gradually spread in residence, saying that he had no parents, no one to protect him and that the emperor did not like him at all.

It was also said that this Crown Prince truly had ulterior motives. He played with the Imperial Nephew all day long, but in the end, he turned around and complained to the Emperor, causing the Emperor to dislike him more and more. Therefore, it was not his turn to be the Crown Prince.

When he heard these rumours, he was also very angry. He immediately sent people to investigate and deal with these people who spread the rumours.

However, although these people were dealt with, these rumours ultimately affected his mind and judgment.

He began to suspect that his good Imperial Uncle had said something bad about him in front of his Imperial Grandfather. Otherwise, why would his Imperial Grandfather change his mind about what he had promised and instead confer him the title of Crown Prince?

Once the seed of doubt was planted, it would take root and germinate, slowly growing and growing!

Other than anger, Yuwen Xuhong felt even more jealous and indignant.

He had always felt that his good Imperial Uncle had snatched away his position as Crown Prince and everything else from him.

He had anger, resentment, and hatred in his heart, but he had to hide all of them in his heart.

Until one day, someone secretly came to his residence and told him directly that he could help him take back everything.

“This person is him!” Lin Yuelan pointed at Zhou Anping and said with certainty.

“That’s right, it’s him!” Yuwen Xuhong did not deny it.

However, Lin Yuelan seemed rather puzzled as she said,” But what I’m very puzzled about is that based on your relationship at that time, Zhou Anping belonged to the Crown Prince’s faction. Why would you, the eldest grandson of the crown prince, trust him?”

According to the situation at that time, although Zhou Anping did not acknowledge the Crown Princess Consort, Zhou Anping was related to the Ye family by blood. The eldest daughter of the Ye family married into the Crown Prince’s residence, so naturally, they could only stand on the Crown Prince’s side.
