Chapter 1606: Yelutang's Second Visit

Yelv Tangzhi knew very well that Yelv Zong was very angry about Yelv Hongfei's murder. If Yelv Hongfei was killed by someone else, it would be fine, but now Yelv Honglin is the most suspected, which makes Yelv Zong even more angry.

However, if this matter is exposed, it will be a huge scandal for their Shuiyue Kingdom, and will become a tool for other countries to laugh at or even attack them. Therefore, Yelv Zong is obviously not going to announce this matter to the public. What's more, Yelv Honglin is still the prince. If this matter is really exposed, then Yelv Honglin's position as prince will definitely be deposed.

Yelu Zong should not have any psychological pressure to depose Yelu Honglin as the crown prince. In fact, he may have been waiting for this opportunity. But that was when Yelu Hongfei was still alive. At that time, Yelu Zong wanted to depose Yelu Honglin as the crown prince in order to help Yelu Hongfei take the throne. Now, Yelu Hongfei has been killed. Who can Yelu Zong support to take the throne if he deposes Yelu Honglin as the crown prince?

Obviously, Yelu Zong has no suitable candidate yet, so he chose to temporarily endure this matter.

But not exposing this matter does not mean that Yelu Zong does not care about it. In fact, this matter has dealt a great blow to Yelu Zong. Yelu Tangzhi, who is very familiar with Yelu Zong, understands this very well. This matter definitely made Yelu Zong bear a grudge against Yelu Honglin in his heart. Yelu Honglin's status in Yelu Zong's heart was not too high. After this incident, he has completely become an abandoned child in Yelu Zong's heart.

Yelu Tangzhi fully believed that as long as there was a suitable candidate for the crown prince, Yelu Zong would definitely bring up the old matter and abolish Yelu Honglin's position as the crown prince.

After leaving the imperial study, Yelu Tangzhi was also thinking about this issue.

No matter how much Yelu Zong trusted him, he was just a minister. Since he was a minister, he had to make plans for his future. Obviously, Yelu Zong no longer trusted Yelu Honglin. Although Yelu Honglin still had the status of the crown prince, it was almost a matter of time before he was abolished.

In this case, what choice should he make?

If you want to stand firm in the court, you must have a long-term vision and plan many things early. Of course, Yelu Zong would never allow the ministers below to form a clique for personal gain, even if they were too close to the prince. Yelu Tangzhi understood this, but he could lay the groundwork a little in advance to prepare for the next move.

However, Yelu Tangzhi had no idea who to choose, because Yelu Zong had the final say. If it was before, Yelu Tangzhi could know Yelu Zong's thoughts, but now that Yelu Hongfei was dead, even Yelu Tangzhi was at a loss.

"Have you found the person?" In the Donglin Palace, Yelu Honglin stared at his people with dark circles under his eyes.

Ever since he knew that the eunuch had disappeared, Yelu Hongfei couldn't eat or sleep well. He knew very well how his father would treat him if he knew the truth about Yelu Hongfei. His father was never a kind person, even when facing his own children!

"No... no." The eunuchs and guards replied tremblingly.

This palace is already big, and it is not easy to find someone in such a big palace. What's more, Yelu Honglin asked them not to look for someone in a big way, which made it more difficult to find someone, so that they haven't found anyone yet.

"Waste, a bunch of waste! What's the point of keeping you guys?!" Yelu Honglin asked with a gloomy face.

Yelu Honglin roared. He used this way to vent his dissatisfaction and hide his fear. He knew the consequences of this incident being exposed. Yelu Zong was already dissatisfied with him. If Yelu Zong knew about this, how could he end up well?

And that eunuch, the key to this matter, he knew a lot of things!

And now, the eunuch disappeared. The longer the time dragged, the lower the possibility of finding the eunuch, and the greater the possibility of this incident being exposed. How could Yelu Honglin not be afraid?

At this time, Yelu Honglin suddenly thought of Wu Fan.

Wu Fan had not been with him for a long time, but Yelu Honglin was quite satisfied with Wu Fan. He had given Wu Fan several things, and Wu Fan had completed them all beautifully. This ability alone was far superior to many people in Donglin Palace.

"It's a pity that Wu Fan is not around now, otherwise, if this matter was handed over to him, he might have found someone." Yelu Honglin thought to himself.

Yelu Honglin missed Wu Fan very much at this moment, and hoped that Wu Fan was by his side very much, but Yelu Honglin seemed to have forgotten that when he sent Wu Fan to Heishui Kingdom, he had somewhat given up on Wu Fan. He knew very well what it meant to let Wu Fan assassinate Yelu Hongfei, but he did not hesitate at the time and let Wu Fan go.

At that time, Yelu Honglin did not think that there would be no problem if Wu Fan was missing from his side, but now, when the people around him seemed incompetent, he remembered Wu Fan's goodness again.

Yelu Honglin would not know that Wu Fan was not in Yangyu Pass of Heishui Kingdom at this time, but in Moonlight City. It was a pity that Wu Fan had no intention of staying, let alone coming to see him. He just took a quick look and set off for Tianji Kingdom.

If Yelu Honglin knew that Wu Fan was in the city at this moment, he would have asked Wu Fan to come and see him no matter what and let Wu Fan handle this matter.

Just when Yelu Honglin was thinking about Wu Fan, a little palace maid came running with small steps.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Yelu Hall would like to see you." The little maid said respectfully in front of Yelu Honglin.

"Yelu Tangzhi wants to see me?" Yelu Honglin was slightly stunned, feeling surprised and frightened in his heart.

Yelu Tangzhi was very careful about his image and would not easily meet other members of the royal family alone. Before that, let alone Yelu Honglin, Yelu Tangzhi rarely met Yelu Hongfei alone.

Therefore, Yelu Honglin was very surprised by Yelu Tangzhi's sudden visit.

Yelu Honglin was frightened because this was a special moment. The key eunuch had disappeared and has not been found yet. But it was at this time that Yelu Tang came to visit so rarely. This cannot but happen. Let Yelu Honglin think more.

"Could it be that he was sent by my father to arrest me?" Yelu Honglin thought in his mind.

Because of the disappearance of the eunuch, Yelu Honglin is now completely frightened. Whenever he encounters something, he will link the two things together.

But thinking about it carefully, Yelu Honglin felt that Yelu Tang's previous visit was not to arrest him. If his father really wanted to arrest him, he would not be sent by Yelu Tangzhi, but a large group of soldiers, not to mention a large group of soldiers. , Yelvtangzhi is now "asking for a meeting" instead of barging in, which is even more unlikeable.

Thinking of this, Yelu Honglin felt a little relieved and said to the maid: "Quickly, bring the Lord Yelu Hall in."

After a pause, Yelu Honglin simply stood up and walked outside: "Forget it, I'll greet him in person."
