Chapter 399

External parties shouldn't join in on the commotion when the two main forces were the ones fighting it out. In a fight where the boss argues with the second-in-command, the worst case scenario would be that they both perish; if the third or the fourth in line interfered, there was no saying that their safety would be guaranteed.

The Emperor has been very upset these few days since this was the situation that he had been most worried about. He had been prepared for this for many years. Plus, he also placed an infinite amount of effort in order to prevent the current situation from happening but, alas, it still occurred without fail.

In fact, the situation was even worse than he imagined.

Not only was Xie Xuanchen aware of the cause of his disease, he could even get rid of this control. He was still alive and well, equipped with both military strength and intelligence on the line, a solid foundation in the army and a reputation that was far-reaching both locally and internationally. In front of the whole world and all the senior officials, he was now openly competing with the Emperor for the throne.

Simply put, this was the worst case scenario.

The Emperor stayed up all night for several days before he finally managed to come up with a countermeasure. Xie Xuanji, who was still working in his mansion, suddenly found that he had been reused by his father. The Prince was not only in a position where he could get in touch with government affairs, but he was also directly transferred to the centre of it all to offer his aid.

The Emperor wanted to support Xie Xuanji in his fight against Xie Xuanchen. He wants to show the world that Xie Xuanchen was not necessarily the next in line for the throne and that his own son would be an astonishing heir as well.

In fact, the emperor was not very satisfied with Xie Xuanji at first, but after poking around for a long time, he found that the child was the only one he could still bear to watch. Therefore, the Emperor could only reluctantly offer his support to him. He then began to vigorously promote Xie Xuanji, giving him the best resources and the best political team. He wanted to quickly heighten Xie Xuanji's status in a short period of time to help him fight against Xie Xuanchen.

Prince Jin's Mansion, which was only separated from Prince An's Mansion by a wall, became lively under everyone's gaze.

Jiang Mingwei had swallowed her anger for a year and a half, but now it's finally time for her to feel proud. She looked at her house that was full of movements and the hustle and bustle continued from morning to night. She felt slightly proud and happy in her heart, deliberately stating, "I heard that Second Brother is still recuperating. With how busy we are here and creating so much noise, would it affect Second Brother's recovery?"

The servant girl heard her concerns and said, "This is not the fault of the Princess. Prince An and Princess An are sensible people, so they would not blame you, Your Highness."

Jiang Mingwei pretended to be relieved and sighed, "That's good."

In fact, Jiang Mingwei was truly thinking too much into it.

Although Xie Xuanji and Xie Xuanchen were neighbours, Prince An's territory was several times larger as there was a vast garden and an inner lake in between his houses. It was easy for Jiang Mingwei to hear any commotions coming from Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang's place, but it was quite difficult for the opposite to happen.
