Chapter 1916: Yuwen Xuhong’s Explanation
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Alright then.”
Then, she looked at Zhou Anping and sneered,” In fact, the mastermind behind these two cases is him-Zhou Anping.” She pointed at Zhou Anping and said sternly,” As for the eldest grandson, I’m afraid he’s not convinced. Therefore, under the instigation of others, he naturally thinks that the position of Crown Prince is his!”
“Your Royal Highness, is this princess right?” Lin Yuelan asked Yuwen Xuhong.
Yuwen Xuhong had already given up. He was indeed very unwilling to give up and shouted out,” If father didn’t die, shouldn’t the position of Crown Prince be mine? Imperial Grandfather once told me that Father was no longer around, so he came to dote on me. In the future, he will definitely give me the best things. I also thought that the position of Crown Prince would be mine. In the future, I will be the ruler of a country. Therefore, I have been especially strict since I was young. I secretly studied the path of the Emperor, the methods of strategy, and the strategies of literature and martial arts. I did not dare to slack off in the slightest, afraid that I would disappoint Imperial Grandfather. Therefore, I was very serious and worked very hard!
“But I don’t know when it started, but Imperial Grandfather started to not care about me anymore. He no longer cared about my studies, and even if I wanted to marry a woman I liked, he wouldn’t allow it. He gradually leaned towards the Crown Prince and often went to the Empress’s palace to accompany the mother and son. I could only stay alone in Prince Rong’s residence, feeling lonely.”
At this point, his eyes were filled with resentment. He glared at the Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu and continued loudly,” Forget about these things. However, what I can’t tolerate is that Imperial Grandfather gave him the best thing he promised me from the beginning!” He pointed at the Crown Prince.
” So, do you think the best thing is the position of Crown Prince?” Lin Yuelan pointed out sharply.
“Isn’t that so?” Yuwen Xuhong retorted angrily.
Lin Yuelan couldn’t help but shake her head when she heard that. Then, she laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at?” Yuwen Xuhong asked.
Lin Yuelan said,” I’m laughing at how stupid you are!”
“What?” Yuwen Xuhong was confused.
Seeing Yuwen Xuhong’s confused state, Lin Yuelan made an exception and said kindly,” Actually, your Imperial Grandfather has already given you the best thing. However, you don’t know how to cherish it!”
“What?” Yuwen Xuhong was still confused, but he sneered,” Haha, what’s the best thing he gave me? Why don’t I know?”
“Freedom!” Lin Yuelan said elegantly.
Yuwen Xuhong was stunned and could not react for a long time. He muttered,” Freedom?!”
After saying that, he immediately looked at the Emperor, but what he saw was the Emperor, who instantly aged ten years.
He reacted, but he did not want to admit it. He could not admit it either. He said loudly, “No… No, no, no. It’s not like that!”
Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” Haha, Your Highness, your grandfather gave you the best thing. He wanted to give you freedom. However, you have let down your Imperial Grandfather’s painstaking efforts!
“This palace is a golden birdcage. Inside, it is the most dazzling light, allowing countless birds to jump into it. However, who would have known that it would be extremely difficult to come out after they had charged in? When more and more birds gather and occupy the entire golden cage, the birds that can’t come out can only kill each other in order to gain territory in the cage!”
Lin Yuelan said sharply,” The birds in the cage are in chaos. In order to maintain order in the cage, only one bird king can be selected. However, to be the bird king, one has to fight with all one’s strength. The path of the bird king is filled with corpses and blood! But what about the birds outside? The sky is high, and the birds can fly freely! Your Highness, you are so smart. Do you understand the meaning of my story?”
With that, she glanced at the Emperor, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes!
Yuwen Xuhong wasn’t stupid. How could he not understand the meaning of Lin Yuelan’s story?
However, it was also because he understood that he could not accept it.
Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong and said indifferently,” Perhaps you think that the best thing is the position of Crown Prince or the position of the Emperor in the future. However, some people are not suitable to sit in this position!”
Yuwen Xuhong’s eyes narrowed as he gritted his teeth,” So, you mean that I’m not suitable for that position?”
