133 Chapter 133 Friend or Foe (1/2)

”The fifth prince eh? Not bad. According to what I know, out of all the five other siblings of the emperor he has the most potential as an emperor. Did you discover his potential during those six months? I thought you'd be satisfied with emperor Feng. Looks like your gege's eyes are not that clear for you.” Xing Wenhe probed his sister.

”You're overthinking emperor brother. I have no idea about his potential at all. All I know is he plays the flute skillfully. Besides, with or without potential, in reality I'll be the one who would control this country until we are prepared to unite the countries against the Qiangdu.” Xing Baihe said confidently.

”How can I forget your fetish about flute.” Xing Wenhe said while face palming himself.

”Don't call it fetish! You're making it sound kinky and perverted, it's gross.” Xing Baihe said in disgust. ”There is also another reason why I cannot let Feng Jun Yi stay in the throne. For some reason after Lin Xulian died, the Gu poison inside him became dormant. And up until now I cannot awaken it. Even when I feed him new ones, they always end up dead before they can fully take him over.” She continued.

”Is that even possible?” Xing Wenhe asked worriedly.

”I have no idea. Maybe there are exemptions that that witch Gu Ran hadn't told us. But since the problem is already there, all we need to do is provide solution. If I cannot control him, then there is no point in keeping him alive.” She said coldly.

”Just tell your gege and I can kill him right away.” Xing Wenhe replied with a cold and excited smile.

”Not now emperor brother. The empress just died. We cannot let the others have suspicions that someone is targeting their empire. The most favorable outcome is the emperor should ”commit suicide”. I still have to work on that. And also I need time to prepare my emperor. Maybe a year or two would be enough for the Gu I placed in him to mature.”

Xing Wenhe was about to suggest that she should seduce the fifth prince but in the end decided against it. Looking at her petite stature and undeveloped body figure despite having a beautiful face, as a man he knows that Feng Jun Yun won't fall for his sister. She could only resort to manipulation. 'Good thing she still have the skill in Gu.' He thought.

”What is the meaning of that look emperor brother?” Xing Baihe asked suspiciously.

In attempt to save himself from his sister's wrath, Xing Wenhe chose to divert the topic. ”Nothing little sister. I am just concerned about that assassin who killed the empress. Did the emperor found a lead?”

”Apparently nothing. At first I thought it was one of sister-in-law's people. I almost got offended since I already said that I will deal with her myself. But anyway, we benefited from what they did since Lin Xulian is also a bit troublesome to deal with.”
