Chapter 1920 Strange Man in Black

Zhao Xuan had already fallen into madness. He had never thought that he would still encounter an accident after he had already done this.

Once his father issued an order to appoint the second prince as the crown prince, then everything would be over for him. Although he was now acting as the head of the government, as long as his father was alive, the Yanfeng Kingdom would be ruled by his father!

Gu Lin wanted to comfort Zhao Xuan, but unfortunately, he himself did not know how to comfort him, because the current situation was indeed very unfavorable to them.

When the eldest prince Zhao Xuan was furious, the third prince Zhao Lun was not in a good situation either.

"What could have happened? Why did the father call the second prince into the palace at this time? Could it be that he wanted to make the second prince the crown prince?" Zhao Lun walked back and forth anxiously in his mansion, his face full of uneasiness.

Because of the old emperor's promise and the worsening of his illness, everyone knew that the candidate for the crown prince would be determined, and the position that had been vacant for many years would soon welcome its owner.

Therefore, this moment is the most critical and important moment. Every move of the old emperor will attract the attention of countless people.

Originally, Zhao Lun had decided to let Yuan Ding contact Eunuch Zhao to steal the jade seal and forge the imperial edict, but he did not expect that he would hear this bad news before he waited for the jade seal.

This news made Zhao Lun restless and extremely flustered.

This time, in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, he has already risked his life and property, but now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, which makes Zhao Lun very difficult to accept.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, maybe His Majesty just wants to chat with the princes." Yuan Ding said, "Just a simple chat."

"Chat? Then why let the second son go, why not me? Why not the eldest son?" Zhao Lun asked back.

"Maybe, maybe, His Majesty will meet them one by one." Yuan Ding said uncertainly.

"Do you believe this yourself?" Zhao Lun stared at Yuan Ding and asked back.

Yuan Ding stopped talking, because he didn't believe this himself.

"Has Eunuch Zhao replied?" Zhao Lun asked.

Now, he can only pin his hopes on Eunuch Zhao. If he wants to turn the tables, he can only rely on fabricating an imperial edict and hoping that his father will confer the title on him.

"Not yet." Yuan Ding said.

"Is your fellow villager reliable?" Zhao Lun said dissatisfiedly: "There is no news at all. Over there, that old man is about to issue an edict to confer the title on the second prince. If it is later, everything will be too late."

Zhao Lun's words are not unreasonable. If the old emperor confers the title of prince on the second prince first, then at that time, even if they steal the jade seal and fabricate the imperial edict, it will be very difficult to succeed.

Yuan Ding was silent. He was also confused about this matter.

He had contacted Eunuch Zhao, and Eunuch Zhao had agreed to cooperate with them. It is said that Eunuch Zhao should have taken action now. Why is there no movement at all?

Could it be that he took action but failed?

Thinking of this possibility, Yuan Ding was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

If Eunuch Zhao really did take action but failed, then he and the third prince would also be dead. Eunuch Zhao would definitely confess them. Stealing the jade seal is a serious crime, and the old emperor would never let them go.

It is almost certain that they will lose their heads!

"No, it must not be like this. Eunuch Zhao must not have found an opportunity to take action yet. Yes, it must be like this!" Yuan Ding comforted himself in his heart.

Although he comforted himself in this way, Yuan Ding's heart was still very uneasy and heavy. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Go contact Eunuch Zhao again!" Zhao Lun said: "Let him take action as soon as possible! Also, ask him why the emperor asked the second prince to enter the palace."

As a personal eunuch around the old emperor, Eunuch Zhao knew a lot of information, so it was more appropriate to ask him about the second prince's entry into the palace.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Yuan Ding nodded in response. He was always uneasy in his heart and was just about to ask Eunuch Zhao.

After Yuan Ding left Zhao Lun's mansion, he went directly to the palace. He had secretly contacted Eunuch Zhao before and had a meeting point. As the personal eunuch beside the old emperor, it was not difficult for Eunuch Zhao to find a hidden meeting point in the palace. .

Yuan Ding waited at the meeting point for a while. Eunuch Zhao was the personal eunuch beside the old emperor, so it was naturally impossible for him to leave casually. Therefore, if he wanted to meet, Yuan Ding could only wait patiently for Eunuch Zhao.

However, this time, Yuan Ding waited longer than before. However, even after waiting for a long time, he never saw half of Eunuch Zhao.

The longer he waited, the more uneasy Yuan Ding felt. Seeing that no one had come, Yuan Ding finally decided to leave temporarily.

"Maybe, Eunuch Zhao can't leave today." Yuan Ding comforted himself in his heart.

However, when he walked out of the meeting point, a man in black came towards him. The man in black looked at him expressionlessly, which scared him.

Although Yuan Ding was not an expert, he felt a frightening aura from the man in black. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he even dared not look him in the eye.

Yuan Ding, panicking, planned to bypass the man.

However, when Yuan Ding and the man passed by each other, his collar was grabbed by someone.

Then, Yuan Ding was lifted up by his feet.

The person who lifted him was the man in black.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" Yuan Ding was getting more and more panicked, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

However, the man in black still looked at him expressionlessly, which made him panic.

Suddenly, the man in black stretched out his other hand and grabbed his neck. Yuan Ding immediately felt difficulty breathing. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Crack!

Before Yuan Ding could figure out what was going on, the man in black twisted his wrist slightly, and Yuan Ding's neck was easily broken. Yuan Ding didn't even have a chance to struggle.

Plop!

Yuan Ding, who had already died, was thrown to the ground by the man in black. His eyes were as bright as light bulbs. He obviously died with his eyes open. He didn't even know what was going on, who the man in black was, and why the other party wanted to kill him.

Everything was incomprehensible to Yuan Ding.

And Yuan Ding obviously had no chance to figure it out.

The man in black threw Yuan Ding away like trash and left, leaving only Yuan Ding's body lying on the ground.

At this time, Zhao Lun, who didn't know the situation, was still waiting for Yuan Ding to go back and report, but it was obvious that Yuan Ding would never go back.
