"Since you dare to come in, you are not afraid of trouble." Ye Fan smiled indifferently, "We have also seen the things outside the mansion just now, and I am afraid that there is something else hidden in this matter." ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Li Zhenchang's face was full of helplessness, "The Fifth Highness has been in the mansion for the past two days, and today the Second Highness suddenly brought people here, you also saw the previous scene, someone must have framed him." ”

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhenchang and asked, "Who do you think has the motive to provoke the conflict between the second prince and the fifth prince?" ”

"It's hard to say this kind of thing, it seems that there is harmony between the princes, but for the sake of imperial power, anyone may have a motive, and the battle for imperial power is destined to be not peaceful."

"You don't have a suspicion?" Ye Fan continued to ask.

Li Zhenchang showed helplessness and replied: "With all due respect, this kind of question can be thought about in your head, and there is no way to say it, and I hope that the little brother doesn't have to ask again." ”

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt."

……

Ye Fan and Gu Qingfeng waited for Ying Hao in Hao Wangfu, and it was not until half a day later that Ying Hao returned to Hao Wangfu and came to the living room to see Ye Fan.

"Brother Ye! Brother Gu! ”

Ye Fan looked at Ying Hao and asked, "Is the trouble solved?" ”

Ying Hao showed a sad look and replied: "It's solved for the time being!" But you shouldn't come back at this time, there have been a lot of things going on in the Imperial City recently, and you may be involved in royal disputes at any time. ”

"Can you talk about the current situation of the royal family, maybe I can do my part."

Ye Fan went straight to the point, if he wanted to avenge Gu Qingfeng's master, he must first understand the current situation of the Ying Dynasty, and Ying Hao might be able to let him have a deeper understanding of the Ying Dynasty.

"Brother Ye, it's better not to step into the quagmire of the royal family, let's have a drink today, and I'll send you out of the imperial city tomorrow." Ying Hao persuaded.

"To tell you the truth, when I came back to the Imperial City this time, I had only one purpose, and that was to kill Ying Jiangshan. You should have heard about Ying Jiangshan killing my Elder Qingcheng Mountain, that elder is Qingfeng's master, and we are here for revenge. Ye Fan told the truth.

"This ......" Ying Hao looked at Ye Fan and then at Gu Qingfeng, "It seems that you are planning to join my eldest brother's camp?" ”

Ye Fan nodded: "To kill the prince, you must join a camp, otherwise you will not be able to stand in the imperial city." ”

"Actually, I have a good relationship with my second brother, I really don't want you to kill him, although he has a misunderstanding about me now, it will come to light sooner or later." Ying Hao looked at Ye Fan with a pleading look.

Ye Fan shook his head with a determined expression.

"That's it! That's it! Ying Hao sighed, "Let's do it to each other, even if I don't tell you, others will tell you, so it's better to let me be a favor." ”

"Our Ying dynasty has the power of life and death, there is no doubt that it is my father, but after my father set up the crown prince, there was an accident when he was cultivating, and his soul was seriously traumatized, and now he has been in a coma, and the soul breath is gradually dissipating, it is estimated that there is not much time, so the princes are ready to move......"

After Ying Hao's narration, Ye Fan knew how deep the water of the Ying Dynasty was.

The two biggest forces of the Ying Dynasty today are none other than the crown prince Ying Wanli and the second prince Ying Jiangshan.

The two are fighting openly and secretly, and at present, they are evenly divided.

Ying Dynasty, Prime Minister Yang Yan.

The son of heaven is in charge, and the assistant is Wanji.

Baiguan is almost a protégé of the prime minister, and he is powerful in the Ying Dynasty, and he can be called under one person and above ten thousand.

The crown princess of the crown prince is Yang Yan's most beloved youngest daughter Yang Qianyun, Yang Yan will support his son-in-law in public and private, normally speaking, Ying Wanli's grasp of imperial power is almost ironclad, but the second prince Ying Jiangshan is the stumbling block behind Ying Wanli.

Ying dynasty, Taiwei Xu Heng, in charge of the world's military power, is also the emperor's mentor, Xu Heng's daughter Xu Qingshi is the emperor's most favored concubine now, Ying Jiangshan's biological mother is also Xu Qingshi, that is to say, Ying Jiangshan is Xu Heng's own grandson, plus Ying Jiangshan is ambitious, wants to compete with Ying Wanli for imperial power, Xu Heng naturally supports his own grandson.

In addition to Ying Wanli and Ying Jiangshan, there are five princes of the Ying Dynasty, namely the third prince Ying Maitreya, the fourth prince Ying Chaoyang, the fifth prince Ying Hao, the sixth prince Ying Jian, and the seventh prince Ying Sihai.

Among them, Ying Maitreya does his own thing and does not participate in the battle for imperial power, Ying Hao's position Ye Fan can't see it now, Ying Chaoyang and Ying Jian support Ying Jiangshan, and they have already made their position clear, Ying Sihai supports the crown prince Ying Wanli.

During the time when Ye Fan returned to Qingcheng Mountain, some major events happened in the imperial city, and Ying Maitreya was assassinated and is now seriously injured. Ying Chaoyang and Ying Jian were also assassinated, and now they are dead, and the seven princes have gone to the second.

Coupled with Ying Hao's statement, Ying Jiangshan's beloved concubine was killed, and someone blamed Ying Hao, which completely broke the relationship between Ying Jiangshan and Ying Hao.

The situation in the imperial city, the relationship between the princes.

Complicated and confusing.

After listening to Ying Hao's narration, Ye Fan had a general understanding of the current situation of the Ying dynasty, and it was much more difficult to deal with the second prince Ying Jiangshan than he imagined.

"Brother Hao, Brother Maitreya is seriously injured now, and I also regard him as a friend, so I should go and see him." Ye Fan looked at Ying Hao, "I just don't know where Brother Maitreya's mansion is, can you go together?" ”

When Ying Hao heard this, he nodded and replied: "Then let's go together, I haven't seen him for a few days." ”

Ying Hao took Ye Fan and Gu Qingfeng out of the Hao Palace, and took a luxury carriage to a mansion near the east gate of the imperial city.

After Ye Fan got out of the carriage, he looked at the plaque above the gate of the mansion, and saw that the plaque was engraved with three gilded characters of 'Yangwangfu'.

"Yangwang Mansion, this is Brother Maitreya's mansion?" Ye Fan looked at the plaque and said.

Ying Hao nodded: "My third brother's original name was Ying Qingyang, and the Yangwang Mansion was his mansion, but later he often went to the surface world to play, and when he came back, he changed his name to Ying Maitreya." ”

"Oh?" Ye Fan showed a look of surprise, "Qingyang's name is very good, but changing it to Maitreya is also in line with his image." ”

"Your Highness."

Ying Hao came to the door of the mansion, and the guards on duty stepped forward to salute.

Ying Hao nodded, looked at the guards and said, "You guys are busy with yours." ”

After Ying Hao finished speaking, he took Ye Fan and Gu Qingfeng into the Yangwang Mansion, passed through the mansion compound, walked through a garden, and came to the door of the master bedroom in a mansion.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

There were two guards standing at the door of the master bedroom, and when they saw Ying Hao and the three of them coming, they immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Ying Hao nodded, looked at the door and said loudly, "Third brother, Brother Ye Fan and I have come to see you." ”

"Fifth brother, come in directly." The voice of Maitreya came from the master bedroom.

The guard opened the door, and the three of them entered the master bedroom directly, and came to a luxurious bed, only to see Ying Maitreya lying on the bed, covered with bandages in other places except for the head, like a living mummy.

"Brother Ye Fan, I'm really sorry, I can't get up to greet him." Ying Maitreya looked at Ye Fan with an apologetic expression.

Ye Fan shook his head with a smile, looked at Ying Maitreya and said, "Brother Maitreya, why is it so badly injured?" ”

"It's nice to be able to get a life back." Ying Maitreya shook his head, revealing a look of anger, "Fuck, Lao Tzu doesn't get involved in the affairs of imperial power, and he can't even avoid the disaster of killing, if I let me know who sent someone to kill me, I will definitely overtake him alive." ”

"The third brother was assassinated, and there were more than 100 wounds on his body, and there were several fatal wounds, if it weren't for the third brother's physical strength, the possibility of survival was very small." Ying Hao on the side opened his mouth to explain.

Ye Fan looked at Ying Hao: "What about the murderer?" ”

Ying Hao shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Escaped!" ”

"This is the Imperial City, there are so many masters of your royal family, so easy to let the murderer escape?"

"If you dare to commit murder in the Imperial City, it is naturally premeditated." Ying Maitreya gritted his teeth, looked at Ying Hao, and said softly: "In the imperial city, those who dare to attack me, except for the eldest brother and the second brother, I can't think of anyone else who has a motive to kill me, plus the sixth and fourth have gone to the West Heaven, I suspect that the mastermind behind it is the eldest brother, but I can't figure it out, I don't mix anything, why do you want to do it to me." ”

"Third brother, in the absence of conclusive evidence, you can't talk nonsense, just talk to me, it's not good to spread it." Ying Hao looked at Ying Maitreya with a meaningful expression.

"I'm afraid of a fart." Ying Maitreya spat and flew, showing a fierce face, "If there is conclusive evidence, when Lao Tzu is injured, I will immediately find him desperately." ”

"It's all like this, and my temper is still so short-tempered." Ying Hao looked at Ying Maitreya with a helpless look, "Take care of your injuries, don't think about it, when they divide the winners and losers, it will be good to live a stable life in the future." ”

"That being said, I also want to live a stable life, but some people are ruthless......" Ying Maitreya stared at the top of the bed with wide eyes, and then turned his head to look at Ye Fan, "Brother Ye Fan, I'm very happy to come to see me, but the imperial city has been unquiet recently, so it's better to leave the imperial city early." ”

"Brother Maitreya, thank you for the reminder!" Ye Fan arched his hand and replied, "Seeing that you are fine, I will be relieved, when you are healed, we will meet again another day, and we will not disturb your rest." ”

Ying Maitreya smiled slightly and replied, "Okay, get together another day, you must have a few drinks." ”

……

Ye Fan, Gu Qingfeng, and Ying Hao said goodbye to Ying Maitreya, and then left Yangwang's Mansion and returned to Haowang's Mansion.

Ying Hao arranged a room for Ye Fan and Gu Qingfeng, and left in a hurry, and Ye Fan and Gu Qingfeng got together.

"Big brother, what are we going to do now?" Gu Qingfeng frowned.

"Judging from the information obtained so far, Ying Wanli is not a good stubble, and people like Ying Maitreya who do not participate in the struggle for imperial power cannot stay out of the matter, and it seems that the matter of taking refuge in Ying Wanli can only be discussed in the long run."
