Chapter 171: The Eighth Prince

"Tell me more about what's going on in the Imperial Capital! I don't know anything about the situation inside. Ari asked, a little distressed.

"I'm sure you feel it too, my father's death is very strange, but with my words, there is no way to investigate this. I've just returned to the Empire, and a lot of people still don't trust me. I can only say that fortunately, my father gave me the position of general before he died, otherwise even if I am strong, in this case, I would have to quit!" said the sixth prince with some embarrassment.

"Who's handling the affairs of the Imperial Capital right now?" asked Ari.

"The national teacher and your father deal with it together, but there are some contradictions between the two, so the handling of these government affairs is not smooth. ”

"Which prince is more active now?" asked Ari again.

"Contrary to our expectations, the first to jump out was the fourth prince, obviously he is not the most promising, and now jumping out will make others vigilant, and it will be more difficult to win. On the contrary, the eldest prince behaved very calmly and did not start to do anything. The sixth prince recalled the current situation and said.

"No, with what I know about the Great Prince, he can't wait so calmly in this situation! Check! We must find out what he did behind his back! I don't believe that he will do nothing with the goal of the throne!" "Arrow's eyes narrowed, "What about the Nine Emperors? Did Your Majesty leave a will for the Nine Emperors to ascend the throne?"

"Your father said that there should be a copy of such a will, but we didn't find it anyway, I don't know if someone else found it first or if His Majesty hid it too well!"

"No! It shouldn't have been found by the others first, otherwise the situation wouldn't be so weirdly calm! It's a trump card, and they're afraid we're going to get it. No one dared to act rashly until this card appeared. So the next most important thing is to find this will. Ari analyzed.

"How do you know that no one has found it?" the sixth prince was a little puzzled.

"Before His Majesty died, everyone could feel that His Majesty was preparing to enthrone the Nine Emperor Princes, so once a suicide note appeared, then it must be the Nine Emperor Princes who got legitimacy. However, the power of the Nine Emperor Princes themselves is not strong, so once they clash head-on with the justifiable Nine Emperor Princes, they will definitely be attacked by many people, and neither the royalists nor competitors will give up this opportunity, so they will lose the qualification to continue to fight for the throne, and they will lose both the Nine Emperor Princes. ”

Ariel paused for a moment and then said, "It would be very different if someone got that suicide note, no matter who would want to get rid of this legitimate competitor who has no evidence and no strength. Since you said that my father's condition is not bad, it means that it should be the first case!"

"I'm going to my father, I have some guesses about the location of this will!" said Ari after a moment's thought.

"I'm not going! My affairs here are very important, and I also have to beware of some people with ulterior motives!" The sixth prince said with a smile, with his strength, it was a fool's dream to enter and exit the imperial capital from under his nose quietly! It was very reassuring to have him guarding here.

"I'll leave it to you!" said Ari solemnly, the current situation is like the calm before the storm, and the slightest negligence may lead to a desperate situation!

......

Wang Qiang and the three of them walked on the road, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street at this time in the bustling imperial capital, as if it was a dead city. If he hadn't been able to sense the presence of living people in the surrounding houses, Wang Qiang would have even suspected that all the people here were dead.

"These civilians also feel the danger!" Wang Qiang sighed.

"If these ordinary people didn't even realize this, they would have died a long time ago! The wisdom of ordinary people is very useful in most cases!" Ari said, "It seems that for the sake of these ordinary people, this matter must be solved as soon as possible!"

......

"Father!" Arriving at home, Ari saw Joseph looking down in deep thought.

"You're back!" a smile tugged at the corners of Joseph's mouth, but there was endless exhaustion in the depths of his eyes.

"Father, it's hard work, just leave it to me!"

"Hehe, you kid, can you do it?" Joseph finally laughed.

"Don't underestimate me! just rest!" said Ari confidently.

Seeing Eri's expression, Joseph shook his head: "The current situation is not good, I want to preside over the overall situation." You do what you are supposed to do, and I will support you no matter what the result is!"

Ari nodded and pulled Wang Qiang out of the house. Elena, on the other hand, stayed at home to take care of Joseph.

"You say you know the location of the will?" asked Wang Qiang, who walked out of the gate.

"Since this will really exists, the people who assassinated the old emperor should also know about it, but they didn't find it. So it is certain that this will is not in the palace! It seems that the old emperor had expected this day for a long time, and he had already arranged it in advance. Ari replied.

"Since it has been arranged, it should have appeared a long time ago, and now that I can't see the will, does it mean that there is something wrong with the old emperor's arrangement?" asked Wang Qiang.

"No! The strength of the Nine Emperor Princes is too weak, although the old emperor was paving the way for the Nine Emperor Princes before, but the time is too short! If the will appears now, it will hurt the Nine Emperor Princes! Therefore, at this time, we need to appear to stabilize the morale of the army!"

"You're saying that the person who holds the old emperor's will doesn't dare to show up yet?"

"That's right, that's it, so, we have to tell him that the Nine Emperor Princes still have us helpers!"

"So who owns the will?"

"One, someone no one can imagine!" "Ari smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's go find the Eighth Prince!"

"It's actually the Eighth Prince? But, why is it?" Wang Qiang asked in surprise, what kind of person is the Eighth Prince, everyone can see it, such a person will be entrusted with a heavy task by the old emperor?

"Although he is a swinger on the surface, the reason is because he is lazy! A few years ago, when the old emperor was about to pass the throne to him, he refused, and appeared in the eyes of everyone in the image of a prodigal son, making him farther and farther away from the throne, in fact, the old emperor still trusts him very much!" explained Arry. Of course, there is a deeper reason, the Nine Emperors and the Eighth Princes are brothers, born to the same mother!

Although on the surface it seems that the Seventh and Tenth Princes are also brothers with their mother, but in reality this is not the case, so the important mission of helping the Nine Emperors was handed over to the Eighth Prince.
