Chapter 2245 Helpless

"Your Highness, you said that you got to know Butler Zhao because you often come to the Second Prince's residence, but that's not what Butler Zhao said just now," Guan Zhuo said.

"Oh, what did he say?" Zhao Lun asked.

"He said that he is yours!" Guanzhuo said: "He is the spy you installed in the Second Prince's Mansion many years ago. He has kept in touch with you all these years." Guanzhuo said.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Lun said: "This is pure nonsense! I don't know why Butler Zhao said that, but he is obviously lying. The Second Emperor and I are brothers. What should I do in his mansion? It's simply What nonsense!"

Zhao Lun's rebuttal did not go beyond everyone's expectations. Before Zhao Lun arrived, everyone had already guessed that he would not easily admit his relationship with Butler Zhao. Therefore, they just suddenly heard Zhao Lun say that he and Butler Zhao Everyone would be so surprised when they met each other, but this time, no one showed any surprised expressions.

The same is true for Guanzhuo.

"Steward Zhao, what do you have to say?" Guanzhuo looked at Butler Zhao and asked.

In fact, Guanzhuo doesn't have much hope for this matter. In the end, this matter will probably fall into a quarrel, with both parties insisting on their own opinions. As for such a secret contact, whether it is Zhao Lun or Butler Zhao , will not let other people know, therefore, it is very difficult to prove that the two people were indeed connected before.

Although he understood this, Guanzhuo couldn't help but ask. Since Butler Zhao said it, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know, but he just didn't have such high expectations in his heart.

"The Third Highness is lying!" Butler Zhao said. He knew the current situation very well. Only by showing value and confessing the Third Prince could he save his life. Otherwise, he would inevitably become the scapegoat for this matter.

"Lying? Why should I lie?" Zhao Lun sneered: "Steward Zhao, I don't know what your intentions are to tell such a lie, but I have indeed had no contact with you before. If you still have any conscience, , just tell the truth to Guan Shangshu and all the ministers!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Seeing that Zhao Lun refused to admit it, Butler Zhao became a little anxious: "You arranged for me to enter the second prince's mansion in the first place. I also know that there are many people like me. Didn't you arrange to enter? Young Prince, you had ideas about the throne at that time, and after you installed us, you kept asking us to provide you with information. Over the years, the contact between us has not been broken. "

"It's ridiculous!" Zhao Lun sneered: "I have thoughts about the throne because I think I am completely qualified for that position. I also believe that with my ability, I can gain the trust of my father and the ministers. There is absolutely no need to engage in any evil deeds, Butler Zhao, don’t be slanderous!”

Shameless!

How shameless!

When everyone heard Zhao Lun's words, most of them cursed secretly in their hearts.

Zhao Lun was very confident in himself, but in fact, everyone knew that among the three princes, the old emperor looked down upon Zhao Lun the most during his lifetime. As for the ministers, they also had no trust in Zhao Lun. Otherwise, Nor would Zhao Lun still be opposed by many ministers after he took out the edict.

But now, Zhao Lun actually shamelessly said that he could ascend to the throne based on his ability. It was extremely shameless.

Zhao Lun also knew what the people around him would think, but he didn't care. Moreover, even if people knew the truth, they couldn't do anything to him, which made him even more proud.

"I think what the Third Highness said makes sense." At this time, Hou Yi couldn't help but jump out, "With the talents of the Third Highness, he must be the most popular candidate for the throne. There is no need to make any small moves. The late emperor was also very optimistic about the Third Prince. , the edict in the hands of the third prince is proof, so I think Butler Zhao is framing him, and he is slandering the third prince! "

After Zhao Ke died suddenly, Hou Yi was thinking about a way out, and this way out was not difficult to think of. Among the three princes, only Zhao Lun was still in the imperial capital. How to choose, Hou Yi quickly made a decision .

However, he was in the same camp as Yuan Ji and Zhao Ke before, and was once an enemy of Zhao Lun. Now he has rashly joined him. Hou Yi is also afraid that Zhao Lun will not accept him. After all, after tonight, there will be many people supporting him. The third prince, joining the third prince's camp, as a person who has had issues with the third prince, at this time, it seems that it is not so difficult to handle.

Therefore, Hou Yi has been thinking about finding an opportunity to perform well and make Zhao Lun change his opinion of him, and now is his chance to show his face.

Zhao Lun looked at Hou Yi, and after Hou Yi finished speaking, he also looked at Zhao Lun. Their eyes collided in mid-air, and they smiled knowingly almost at the same time.

Done!

Seeing Zhao Lun's smile, Hou Yi's uneasy heart finally calmed down. Judging from Zhao Lun's reaction, the other party has accepted his kindness. This is a good thing for Hou Yi. Hou Yi is also secretly glad that he is lucky. He reacted quickly and moved quickly. He took the lead before others took action. Only then did he show his face in front of Zhao Lun. If he really had to wait for everyone else to defect to him before he took action, he would be afraid that by then , Zhao Lun wouldn’t even look at him.

Yuan Ji's face was extremely ugly. Hou Yi's public betrayal was like another slap in the face. He also believed that Hou Yi's statement would affect many people present. He was afraid that after tonight, Zhao Lun would really become the most popular candidate for the new emperor. Even if the members of their seven-member team objected by then, Zhao Lun, who had the support of a large number of officials, was probably not something they could stop.

Guan Zhuo's mood was a bit complicated. If possible, he didn't want to see Zhao Lun ascend the throne and become the emperor. First, Zhao Lun's ability was limited. If he really became the emperor of their Yanfeng country, it would not necessarily be a good thing for their Yanfeng country.

Second, Zhao Lun was also closely related to Zhao Ke's death. Although Zhao Lun did not admit his relationship with Butler Zhao, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Butler Zhao did not lie. Now that a man who killed his brother became the emperor of their Yanfeng country, it would be difficult to convince the public, and it would also make their Yanfeng country a laughing stock in the eyes of other countries.

However, the situation of their Yanfeng country was very critical at the moment, and they urgently needed someone to stand up and preside over the overall situation, end this chaotic situation, and lead their Yanfeng country back on track. With the eldest prince fleeing and the second prince being killed, it seemed that only the third prince was suitable.

"Forget it, the third prince is the third prince. After all, he is the heir of the previous emperor. The situation inside and outside the court can no longer be delayed." Guan Zhuo thought helplessly in his heart.

However, at this moment, Butler Zhao, who had been ignored by everyone, spoke again!
