The Situation of the Crown Prince's Residence

Xiao Chen came out of his room when he heard the sound of eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting running in front of his room. Xiao Chen frowned when he noticed that the ladies and gentlemen who had just passed by his room looked panicked and pale.

"What happened?" Xiao Chen scratched his head.

It was still early in the morning, the sun was just showing a little light because of that the sky was still dark.

"I'd better find Master, maybe we won't get breakfast either." Xiao Chen shook his head and began searching for Fang An's residence.

Luckily there were still a few young eunuchs and ladies in waiting who didn't seem to be involved in anything that was causing the other ladies and aunts to panic. It was from these young ladies and gentlemen that Xiao Chen managed to find Fang An's room.

"Chen'er, Master just intended to go look for you."

Fang An had just left his room when Xiao Chen was only a few steps away from Fang An's room. Xiao Chen told that last night he didn't get dinner, seeing the situation this morning he was worried that he wouldn't get breakfast either.

"Nobody delivers food to your room?" Fang An was not very happy when he heard it.

Xiao Chen frowned when he found out that Fang An still got some cakes and fruits from the maids last night. Xiao Chen guessed that the gift came from the ladies' initiative because of Fang An's good looks.

Even if Fang An was wearing a mask, everyone could still guess that Fang An had a handsome face and definitely beautiful eyes.

Fang An ordered Xiao Chen to enter his room and eat the dumplings and fruits that were left over last night. Xiao Chen did not refuse because he really wanted to fill his stomach.

Xiao Chen ate the fruit voraciously and Fang An also ate some of the fruit while accompanying him. Before the two had finished eating, there was a knock on Fang An's door.

"Elder Fang, are you awake? I have something important to tell you." Elder He's voice came from behind the door.

Fang An invited Elder He to enter the room. It was only when the door opened that Elder He's face turned pale. Fang An's expression became serious, he motioned for Elder He to sit down.

"Elder Fang, you must have not heard from the Crown Prince, have you? I came here so that there is no misunderstanding between you and the Crown Prince. Last night something happened that caught the attention of the Crown Prince…" Elder He started to explain everything he knew to Fang An.

Elder He was one of the people from the Valley of the Hundred Swords who had joined the search for Yin Song's two missing sons.

"We finally managed to find them after several hours of searching but it was too late." Elder He shook his head as he let out a long sigh.

When the warriors from the two sects managed to find the whereabouts of Yin Song's two sons, they were already dead along with dozens of soldiers and servants escorting their carriages.

"Sect Master already knows about this?" Fang An's face darkened when he learned all this.

Fang An and Elder He were too serious in their discussion to not notice Xiao Chen's shocked reaction at this news.

"How could it be? It wasn't like this before…" Xiao Chen grabbed his own hair, wishing that everything he heard was just a dream. Xiao Chen tried to calm himself down and tried to find answers to this incident.

"Last night the sect master was called suddenly by Your Highness so it cannot be confirmed whether the chairman already knows about this matter or not…" Elder He explained.

"What about the Crown Prince? Where is he now?" asked Fang An.

"The Crown Prince should still be in the main hall, along with the bodies of his two sons. His wife and Princess Xuehua are also there."

Fang An tapped his finger on the table for a few moments before asking Elder He to lead him to the hall in question.

"Chen'er, you wait here. Master will be back soon." Fang An felt that Xiao Chen should not get involved because this was not just a matter of bodies but the politics behind it.

Xiao Chen complied, he could only watch Fang An and Elder He leave the room. Only when he was alone did Xiao Chen let out his frustration.

"All of this really has to do with the changes I made, the situation now is much different from the experience from my previous life." Xiao Chen scratched his head.

Xiao Chen never expected that keeping Mu Rong alive would have such an impact. Not only were the two sects who helped Yin Song choose to retreat, now Yin Song's two sons who were supposed to be princes in the future had been killed.

Although no clues have been found about the culprit, everyone will definitely guess that this murder is related to the usurpation of the throne.

"If Prince Feng previously dared to kill Crown Prince Song's wife, it is very likely that he was the one who ordered the killing of the Crown Prince's two sons."

Xiao Chen felt that this situation of fighting for the throne was far more dangerous than he could remember, if not be careful not only was he in danger but also the Valley of the Hundred Swords. Xiao Chen racked his brains, trying to find a solution to turn the situation more favorable.

"The only one who can hope to reverse the situation is the Silver Moon Association, but they are currently too weak having just opened a branch in the Han Empire. Unless I provide valuable information that will allow them to progress quickly, nothing will help our situation."

Xiao Chen felt that relying on the Silver Moon Association was a very risky bet, with the information he provided the Silver Moon Association could develop quickly and might even be several times stronger than their strength in Xiao Chen's previous life.

The problem was that the Silver Moon Association had always been neutral, having them support Yin Song wouldn't be easy if it didn't give the association a fair advantage.

Xiao Chen let out a long sigh, ever since starting his new life, he had never missed a day of intense training. The past three years he had progressed at such a terrifying speed to the stage of possessing the Beast Tiger Bone but still it was far from enough.

"No other choice, it seems that it is indeed necessary to rely on the Silver Moon Association, I have a few days before they look for me. I better start planning to get them to help me."

Xiao Chen remembered Yuan Qianyu, that girl was obviously very intelligent and seemed to have an important position in the Silver Moon Association.

"With the Silver Moon Association's current capabilities, they won't easily infiltrate the Palace to see me so I might as well go visit them in three days."

Xiao Chen shook his head in realization of the storm that would hit Luoyang in the near future.
