The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1919: Ambition!

The Emperor’s question was also the question of everyone present.

Yuwen Xuhong’s pupils contracted. He opened his mouth and said,” Two years ago!”

“Two years ago?” The Emperor was puzzled.

The others also frowned at the answer.

“When exactly?” The Emperor asked sharply.

” Two years ago, during the Exchange Meeting between the five nations!” Yuwen Xuhong gritted his teeth.

“During the exchange meeting of the five countries, Zhou Anping brought Xiao Jingrui directly to my Imperial Mansion!” Yuwen Xuhong explained,” At that time, I was also shocked. I wanted to refuse to cooperate with them, but they threatened me. If I didn’t cooperate with them, they would expose me in front of the imperial grandfather and the princes and ministers, saying that I had secretly harmed the crown prince, traded with the enemy country, and betrayed the country. On the contrary, if I continue to work with them, they can help me reach that position. As long as I sit in that position, no one will be able to decide my fate.

“On the contrary, I can decide the fate of anyone!”

This was the greatest temptation!

As soon as Yuwen Xuhong finished speaking, the entire royal study became abnormally quiet!

Power often increased one’s ambition and desire.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Yuwen Longyan, the emperor, did not expect Yuwen Xuhong’s ambition.

He wholeheartedly recognized that giving him freedom was giving him the best things.

The Emperor sighed heavily and said dejectedly,” It’s my fault! I didn’t educate you well!”

He glanced at the Crown Prince, then at Yuwen Xuhong, and continued, “I thought that you also liked freedom! Therefore, I sacrificed Yu ‘er. Yu ‘er is an honest and benevolent person. After he ascends to the throne, he won’t kill his own brothers!”

Hearing the Emperor say this, the Crown Prince opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but it also seemed like he wanted to ask something. However, the words swirled in his throat, and he did not say anything.

Yuwen Xuhong asked sharply,” Since you have already made your decision, why are you giving me hope? You made me think I had a chance. When I was fighting for power with the Imperial Uncle and Third Imperial Uncle, you didn’t come out to stop me? Why?”

The Emperor’s heart couldn’t help but tremble when he was asked this question.

Because this was the cruellest part of being a member of the royal family.

Before any prince could become a qualified ruler, he had to go through harsh training.

This kind of training required a heavy price.

If it was not his life, it was the other party’s life!

Although Yuwen Yanyan was an elder and Yuwen Xuhong’s grandfather, he was also the ruler of a country.

He was the monarch first!

Since he had already chosen his successor, for the sake of the Longyan Dynasty and the Yuwen family, he had to nurture a qualified emperor!

The training grounds were naturally the scheming Imperial Palace and the bloody Imperial Court.

The person he was facing was also a prince and grandson of a royal family with a certain amount of power.

After an evaluation, he chose the eldest grandson of the crown prince, who was also related to the crown prince by blood, and the third prince, who had a powerful family.

Through his intentional or unintentional actions, the three forces reached a balance in the court.

This gave Third Prince Yuwen Feiye and the eldest grandson, Yuwen Xuhong, hope, and they became even more ambitious.

But what the Emperor never expected was that the two people he had prepared for training with the Crown Prince… One poisoned him and suddenly forced him to abdicate, while the other colluded with foreign enemies and led a wolf into the house!

Sigh!

The Emperor sighed inwardly.

He said,” It’s my fault, it’s my fault!”

Lin Yuelan guessed the emperor’s intentions, but she didn’t agree with him.

This was because feelings and relationships could not withstand testing.

The Emperor had given them hope, which naturally increased their ambitions and inflated their desires. Therefore, they were more and more eager to obtain it.

This was the result.

Of course, she could understand the Emperor’s actions.

After all, in order to nurture a qualified ruler, there would be sacrifices. Thus, he treated Yuwen Feiye and Yuwen Xuhong as chess pieces for Yuwen Yanyu.

Perhaps this was the cruelty of the royal family!

When Eunuch Zhang saw the Emperor’s appearance, he called out worriedly,” Your Majesty!”

He stepped forward and wanted to support the Emperor.

The Emperor waved his hand and said,” Eunuch Zhang, I’m fine!”
