Chapter 3369 Ancient Orphan 33

Because they felt that the third prince had a great chance of ascending to the throne, more people joined him and made him the most popular one.

However, An Ran was not optimistic about the third prince.

It’s not just because Mucang is the one who takes the lead. The more prominent he is, the easier it is to be targeted.

The reason An Ran thinks this way is because she saw the emperor several times when she was called into the palace by Concubine Wang Shu. Although she could not check the emperor's pulse, from her observation, the emperor was still in good health. As long as he did not If an accident occurs, there is no problem in surviving for another ten years.

In ten years, it is hard to say whether an adult prince, an adult prince who is supported by many ministers, will become a thorn in the emperor's side. It is even harder to say whether the third prince will be able to take the throne by then.

On the other hand, those little princes who are not yet adults but about ten years old will not be targeted by the emperor and will most likely have the last laugh.

An Ran's speculations were not groundless, but that the eldest prince would end up being deposed. An Ran felt that it was related to the fact that the prince was currently at his most powerful and powerful age. The emperor didn't like him, so when he saw other people besieging him, he took advantage of the situation. Destroy him. Anyway, one of his men has committed a very serious matter. This matter is not false. It could have affected him in the first place. How to deal with it is all a matter of the emperor's word.

If the emperor feels sorry for his son, he may treat him lightly, but if he doesn't feel sorry for his son and deal with it impartially, the eldest prince can't say anything.

The emperor obviously did not intend to feel sorry for his son, but dealt with him impartially and deposed him.

Although there is nothing wrong with the emperor's approach, if he does not want to depose the eldest prince, he can also conduct an in-depth investigation into the crimes committed by his subordinates. This matter must have been designed by other princes. When the investigation comes to light, he was If he is framed, the eldest prince will not have any responsibility.

But the emperor obviously didn't want to investigate, and instead punished the eldest prince based on the evidence provided by others.

Such a reaction either means that the emperor does not care about his son, or that the emperor is less capable than his son and cannot find out what other sons have done. But can the emperor really be so stupid that he can't find out? An Ran felt that this was not possible.

Therefore, it is most likely that the emperor did not care about his son and deliberately dealt with the eldest prince. Needless to say, the reason was because the emperor did not like the eldest prince, a young and powerful son, so he did this.

This is not something Enron takes for granted, but can be seen from various signs.

The emperor had reprimanded the eldest prince before and put him in solitary confinement. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the eldest prince.

Under such circumstances, the eldest prince wanted to be honest, and maybe he could still keep his title. As a result, the eldest prince was not only dishonest, but also ordered all his subordinates to cause trouble for the second and third princes. The emperor obviously felt that, The eldest prince still had ambitions, so he was dismissed as a commoner.

If the emperor can do this to the eldest prince who is young and powerful, he can naturally do the same to other princes who are young and powerful.

The second prince and the fourth prince were temporarily placed in solitary confinement. Not to mention that the third prince was now also in the prime of life and had survived the previous brawls and gained more support. In such a situation, it was easier to become a thorn in the emperor's side.

Once he becomes a thorn in the emperor's side, and the other brothers fight against him, An Ran is not optimistic about whether the third prince can have the last laugh.

However, after the previous brawl, the third prince became more and more cautious. Even if he became a thorn in the emperor's side, it would not be easy for the emperor to depose him. No, the emperor did not find a suitable reason at the moment. The trouble he caused caused the third prince's reputation to continue.

This situation made the other princes who had previously cooperated with the second prince and the third prince become wary. Obviously, they did not want the third prince to gain a lot of support and hope to become the crown prince. After all, if the third prince became the crown prince, What's the matter with them, so naturally they can't let this happen.

Because he did not want the third prince to become the prince, and there might be someone (such as the emperor) secretly fueling the situation, assassinations and frame-ups against the third prince soon became more frequent than ever.

Although some people have treated the third prince like this before, after all, as the older prince, he is most likely to inherit the throne, so it is normal for some people to target him and not want him to inherit the throne.

But no matter how we targeted them in the past, they were very limited. Unlike now, they were too frequent, making it difficult for the third prince to guard against them.

Even the fifth prince was implicated.

But he said that when a group of people went hunting that day, someone assassinated the third prince.

The third prince had many experts around him, but he failed.

However, because the fifth prince does not do much business, he does not have many experts to protect him, and the guards assigned to him by the palace as a rule have average abilities. If they want to stop these assassins, they may not succeed.

Fortunately, Qiu Lie could bring his family with him this time, so the fifth prince took An Ran with him. At that time, he was afraid that something might happen to Qiu Lie. Taking An Ran with him might help him.

The fifth prince's idea was really good. The group entered the paddock and started hunting in the autumn. Then an assassin assassinated the third prince.

The two sides fought fiercely, and soon one of the assassins felt that the business might not be completed and was ready to run away.

As soon as he ran, he reached the fifth prince's side.

The fifth prince had long heard someone from the third prince's side calling for the assassin. He was frightened at that time. He found a hidden place and hid with An Ran. He was ready to wait until the third prince had taken care of the matter and it was safe before he came out.

As a result, those assassins who escaped came to the fifth prince's side.

The man was afraid that the fifth prince would shout out and someone would besiege him, so he immediately drew his knife and prepared to kill the fifth prince and An Ran.

Can Enron make this person successful? Of course it was impossible, so he immediately stepped forward, snatched the opponent's knife, and hacked him to death.

Because the fifth prince trusted An Ran's martial arts, they were the only ones hiding here. The guards were not around to prevent too many people and the target being too big.

It was normal for An Ran to kill the enemy at this time, because the other party knew that she knew martial arts, and she did not want to let the assassin go. Later, the assassin reported this secret to his master, so An Ran killed the enemy. Anyway, The other party's assassination of the prince was a heinous crime. If he killed him with his own hands, it would not be considered an indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

After killing this insider, An Ran no longer has to worry. Others will know about her martial arts skills, which will arouse doubts. After all, it is difficult for a housewife to know such high martial arts without making people suspicious. After all, she is not. No one, like the fifth prince, accepted this matter so well and never had any doubts.

Afterwards, some assassins came, and An Ran dealt with them this way. The fifth prince looked at them and couldn't help but secretly thought, An Ran is really powerful, and he will never have to worry about his safety again.
