The soul is in the body of the victim, and the resentment value system is upgraded

Wu Zishan and others settled down and waited for news from Gu Changyan.

At this moment, a major event happened in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

The Emperor of Dajing, Shen Yanqing, suddenly fell ill.

There are a lot of rumors outside.

The matter of the final crown prince was put on the agenda just in case.

Logically speaking, if the emperor appoints a crown prince, if something happens to him, it is only natural for the crown prince to succeed to the throne.

However, the crown prince of Dajing has not been appointed yet.

Two candidates for the crown prince in the palace have basically been decided.

There are three princes in the palace. One is the eldest prince Shen Muyang, born to a concubine when the emperor was still a prince. The other is the third prince Shen Muye, born to the most favored imperial concubine.

The two of them are candidates for the position of crown prince.

As for the second prince Shen Muyun, his mother was the former queen of the imperial palace. But ever since the queen passed away, the talented second prince has never smiled again.

As he was born into a legitimate family, it was only natural for him to ascend to the throne of crown prince, but he had never been favored since childhood.

On the contrary, the eldest prince, relying on his mother's family, had many supporters, and in order to check and balance the previous dynasty, he was treated differently by the emperor.

The emperor did not like the second prince because he had always been taciturn and had become a different person since the queen's death.

Only his loyal subordinates told him that he had to learn to conceal his shortcomings and bide his time in order to save his life.

Yes, in this deep palace, without anyone to protect you, how can you survive easily?

So, when he came of age, he had his own palace. Since he was not favored and posed no threat, he would often go on private visits in disguise.

In the second year after the Queen's death, a selection of concubines was held. Among them, there was a girl named Li Yuexin who was deeply loved by the Emperor and was made a concubine.

Concubine Li was favored, so naturally she soon gave birth to the third prince. The emperor's favor was all focused on the third prince.

This favor lasted for more than ten years.

But the third prince, who was once loved by the emperor, was said to have been demoted to the imperial mausoleum not long ago because he disturbed the emperor's carriage due to drunkenness and trouble.

For a time, the situation was turbulent and opinions were divided.

At this critical juncture, it was unexpected that the second prince, who had always been free and easy, would return to the palace.

This made some people with ulterior motives secretly calculating in their hearts.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, an old slave was serving his master.

"Master, everything is ready."

The servant was about fifty years old and had a kind face.

He bowed his head respectfully. In front of him was a man sitting next to a bronze mirror, tidying up his appearance.

But what was reflected in that mirror was a familiar face.

Gu Changyan!

Gu Changyan is Shen Muyun, the second prince of Dajing.

He reached out and tidied up his clothes. This was the first and only time he asked for help from someone.

Gu Changyan has been unrestrained and wandering around since he was a child.

In order to experience life, he also studied hard, passed the imperial examinations on his own, hid his identity outside, and did not rely on his father at all.

Although, this Great Kyoto belongs to his father.

But this time, in order to save Lin Meng, he had to bow his head.

He stood up and strode out the door.

"Big brother!"

Gu Changyan went to the residence of the eldest prince Shen Muyang.

Shen Muyang was a little surprised to see him come back.

"Second brother, how come you have time to come back?"

Shen Muyang has been well-educated, steady and mature since childhood, and has the demeanor of an elder brother. Although his mother is only a concubine, she is also the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu.

After all, he is a noble prince who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has a cool and aloof temperament, which is unique.
