Yuwen Xuhong immediately asked anxiously,” Then Imperial Uncle, in that case, Imperial Grandfather also heard such rumours in the palace?”

“Yes.” Yuwen Yanyu nodded.” Father has heard it too.”

“Then how did Imperial Grandfather react?” Yuwen Xuhong asked anxiously. Yuwen Yanyu shook his head and smiled bitterly,” Father has no reaction,”

In other words, he wasn’t angry about the rumours and was just watching the show calmly.

This was not like his father’s personality at all.

“This is such a big matter; how can Imperial Grandfather not have any reaction?” Yuwen Xuhong was very puzzled.

Yuwen Yanyu only shook his head.

Then, Yuwen Xuhong looked at the Crown Prince and said very seriously,”

Imperial Uncle, don’t you think that Imperial Father dotes too much on the Great General and Princess Guguo and trusts them too much? Father’s favour and trust for them had already surpassed any prince or grandson in the palace.

“Take the ninth aunt of the ninth princess as an example. She was once loved by her father, but because she offended the general and the princess of the Guguo, her fate became tragic. She was even forced to go to the reckless and poor country of Aduo Chai for marriage. Uncle, don’t you feel that something is wrong?”

Hearing Yuwen Xuhongs words, Yuwen Yanyu also realized this problem. Actually, he had already noticed this problem before.

Although he felt strange, he didn’t suspect anything.

In his heart, his father was a wise and resourceful king.

It was impossible for such a wise ruler to favour a person so casually.

The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes and asked sternly,” What do you mean?”

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Xuhong only smiled faintly and said,” Imperial Uncle, Imperial Nephew doesn’t mean anything. I just think that these things are very suspicious and coincidental.”

The Crown Prince had a good relationship with Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan. If he continued to speak, he would be suspected of sowing discord, which would make Yuwen Yanyu suspicious.

It would not be good if the relationship between uncle and nephew became stiff.

Yuwen Yanyu’s eyes flashed, and he asked seriously, “Why are you coming to me to talk about this?”

However, Yuwen Yanyu wasn’t as foolish as Yuwen Xuhong.

He was the Crown Prince himself, the future king. His father had put in a lot of effort to nurture him, and with the support of General Jiang Zhennan and Princess Guguo, it was only a matter of time before he ascended the throne after his father died.

Even though Yuwen Xuhongs hints were very vague, Yuwen Yanyu could still hear the intention to sow discord.

Yuwen Xuhong was stunned by his uncle’s sudden question.

This was completely different from his expectations.

Shouldn’t he be worried that Lin Yuelan would get married in the empress’ wedding dress and the groom would be Jiang Zhennan?

Because he was worried, his heart was in a mess, and when it was in a mess, he would be suspicious.

If he started to suspect her, then his relationship with Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan would definitely be strained.

Once there was a rift, it would grow bigger and bigger, and Yuwen Yanyu would lose their hearts.

That would be equivalent to losing his left and right arms.

At that time, would Imperial Grandfather still value him?

Actually, Yuwen Xuhongs thoughts were very simple.

It didn’t matter if the Emperor was controlled by Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, but the Emperor that was presented to everyone now was a very normal and wise ruler.

In the past two years, the reason why the Emperor had been paying more and more attention to the Crown Prince was largely because of the Crown Prince’s close relationship with Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.

Now that he heard Xiao Jingyu mention that the Emperor was very likely to be controlled by Jiang Zhennan, his first thought was to find an excuse to sow discord between the Crown Prince and Jiang Zhennan.

Then, the Crown Prince’s reaction disappointed him greatly.

Yuwen Xuhong held it in for a moment and said,” Imperial Uncle, don’t think too much. Royal nephew…l only think that Imperial Grandfather seems to be overly fond of Great General.”

Yuwen Yanyu snorted coldly,” Hmph, so what? Father is a wise ruler, and he has his own conclusion in his heart. Hong ‘er, don’t jump to conclusions! Otherwise, it’ll be too late for regrets if you incur consequences that you can’t afford!”

Yuwen Xuhong felt even more aggrieved. He could only say,” Yes, Imperial Uncle is right!”

After Yuwen Xuhong left, Yuwen Yanyu felt that something was wrong, and now it was even more so..
