Wandering Palace.

"Uncle Er Wang will not think that no one has pierced this layer of window paper. Grandpa Huang has really never suspected that all the princes are staring at the dragon chair, right?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Ping, and then added another sentence, looking at Zhu Ping with interest, with a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Xi frowned, his face looking serious again.

How could he not know? Are there not many ministers of the DPRK and China who have been killed in recent years? Which one is not inextricably linked to the feudal kings from all over the world?

The main reason why those people were killed was because the father was worried that the kings would unite with the courtiers to threaten Zhu Yunwen's position as the crown prince! What my father was worried about was that a hundred years from now, these people would never let Zhu Yunwen secure the throne, so he took advantage of the opportunity to eradicate it while he was still alive!

But these secrets are not something that ordinary people can see or even dare to tell, not to mention that the person sitting in front of him is just a young boy!

The shock in Zhu Ping's heart at this moment was simply indescribable, and he was even jealous. He had begun to doubt whether his decision to agree to form an alliance with Zhu Yunxi was correct.

"Uncle Er Wang, don't be surprised. My nephew just told a fact that everyone knows but no one dares to mention easily."

Zhu Yunxi noticed the change in Zhu Ming's eyes, smiled, and continued.

In fact, before the registration ceremony was held, Zhu Yunxi had secretly contacted the King of Qin and decided to form an alliance, with the purpose of preventing Zhu Yunwen from being registered as the crown prince.

However, Zhu Yunxi did not explain how to do it at that time. He just made it clear that if he wanted to successfully stop it, he must use Zhu Ping's name.

Zhu Fang also didn't want Zhu Yunwen to really become the crown prince, because only in this way would he have a chance!

So he agreed to Zhu Yunxi's request, firstly to prove his sincerity in forming an alliance, and secondly to test Zhu Yunxi's ability. Even if he failed, he would not lose anything.

But what he never expected was that he would be forcibly involved in the fight for heir apparent. Only then did he realize that all the interactions between Liu Sanwu and himself in the past two years were due to the nephew in front of him. Manipulating in the dark!

Such scheming made him feel numb!

"You are not a loser! Nor are you an uneducated and ignorant playboy who only knows how to live in debauchery!"

Zhu Ming looked directly at Zhu Yunxi and said meaningfully.

"Some things are just choices made out of desperation. If my nephew doesn't let himself become a waste, I'm afraid he won't live to be fifteen!"

"But what my nephew is doing is just to survive. Unlike the second uncle who has far-reaching ambitions, but since the second uncle wants to compete, then the nephew is willing to help him to achieve his goal."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Xi and said seriously.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's words, Zhu Xi fell into deep thought. As far as he knew, Zhu Yunxi's experiences over the years were indeed rough, and she knew how the Crown Princess had treated Zhu Yunxi over the years. If the Crown Princess wanted to help her son ascend to the throne, Then Zhu Yunxi is the threat to Chi Chi!

Because according to convention, after the eldest brother's eldest son died in infancy, Zhu Yunxi, the second son, was the first choice for the position of grandson!

If the Crown Princess hadn't done it intentionally, Zhu Yunxi wouldn't have turned into a useless grandson who was despised by everyone, and thus lost all favors!

And Zhu Yunxi can still do this in desperate situations. This is the root of Zhu Ping's fear!

"Have you never thought about replacing him? After all, you are the real grandson!"

After Zhu Xi hesitated for a long time, he looked at Zhu Yunxi without blinking and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I did."

Zhu Yunxi replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiang's brows instantly frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes!

"But that's just a daydream. It's an impossible wish. My nephew knows how much he weighs. He's a powerless grandson. Why?"

"The civil and military officials of the dynasty, the royal family, who would support a powerless waste? Even if my nephew is a little clever, they will not support me."

"At that time, not only will the Crown Princess not let me go, but the other uncles will not let me go. I am afraid that even the second uncle who is allied with my nephew will try their best to kill me! Even if he can get it, he will not be able to hold it."

"So I gave up this idea from the beginning. I just want to live an honest life and no longer look like a street rat. I am only interested in wine and beauties. The rest has been from the moment I stepped into the Wandering Palace. No more extravagant hopes.”

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Xi and replied seriously.

"Then why did you choose me instead of choosing someone else to be your ally?"

"After all, I am not the only one who can inherit the throne."

Zhu Xi continued to ask.

In fact, behind his words, he wanted to ask why Zhu Yunxi didn't choose the fourth child, because in terms of power and status, the fourth child had the greatest hope!

"Because I have a grudge against the Crown Princess, she will not let me go, and I will not let her go, so naturally I will not choose to form an alliance with my second brother."

"Apart from him, the only ones left who can compete for that position are the royal uncles. Among all the royal uncles, the fourth uncle has the most power and has deep-rooted prestige in the court, so he naturally looks down on me and doesn't care. If you need me, you may even kill me directly!"

"Except for him, among all the remaining uncles, only the second uncle's strength can compete with him, so my nephew chose you."

"It's not that I want to choose you, it's because I can only choose you."

Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, looked at Zhu Ping categorically and said.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Ping nodded hesitantly. He could not fault any of the answers. For this nephew, this was indeed the best choice.

"Although Grandpa Huang questioned the second uncle this time, we succeeded in involving the fourth uncle. If Grandpa Huang is wary of the second uncle, then the fourth uncle will naturally not be an exception. For the second uncle, this is not the case. A sure-fire deal."

"Now, is the second uncle still angry with my nephew?"

Zhu Yunxi showed a simple smile and asked slowly.

"Okay, this is the end of Liu Sanwu's matter. I will not pursue it any further. I will treat it as my sincerity in cooperating with you."

"But, you don't still suspect that there is another hidden reason behind the death of eldest brother, right?"

Zhu Ping hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, changed the subject, and continued to ask.

"If my second uncle didn't have doubts in his heart, he wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with my nephew in the first place. You also want to know the truth, don't you?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said seriously.

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Ping fell into silence again and frowned slightly.

The reason why Zhu Xi chose to cooperate with Zhu Yunxi was because Zhu Yunxi mentioned that there was another hidden reason for Zhu Biao's death, and it was probably not due to illness!

The reason why Zhu Biao suddenly fell seriously ill was because Zhu Yuanzhang made a mistake and offended the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang transferred him back to Kyoto and sent the prince Zhu Biao on a northern tour. After returning from the northern tour, the prince Zhu Biao became ill.

Zhu Fang also had doubts at the time, so when Zhu Yunxi used this incident as an excuse to ask to cooperate with him, he agreed because he wanted to distance himself from the relationship between this matter and never let others doubt his relationship with him. It’s related to the death of eldest brother!

At the same time, he also wanted to test his nephew's ability. After all, he was far away in the fiefdom, and Zhu Yunxi was in Kyoto, so he could take care of him if anything happened.

He really needs a chess piece that can deal with Zhu Yunwen and other kings. Even if it doesn't work out, he can discard it at any time!

But now he suddenly discovered that the chess piece in front of him seemed to be far more difficult to control than he imagined!

In just half a month, he went from a despised useless grandson to the most favored grandson besides Zhu Yunwen!

This made him suddenly hesitant, because he couldn't be sure whether the chess piece in front of him would be his best help or a hidden danger that he couldn't control!

"What exactly do you want?!"

After Zhu Xi pondered for a long time, he looked straight at Zhu Yunxi and asked in a deep voice.

"My nephew just said that I have no interest in who will sit on that chair in the future!"

"The reason why I want to form an alliance with my second uncle is simply to find a trustworthy backer. Secondly, I want to find out the truth behind my father's sudden death. Finally, if forming an alliance with my second uncle can allow my nephew to obtain everything that a royal grandson deserves, It would be better to have some glory and no longer be scorned and slandered by others!"

"Nothing else to ask for."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Ming and said clearly, his face full of piety.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Yunxi's pious face without blinking and fell into silence...
