And now it seems that maybe...

Maybe something?

Ye Li suddenly felt a little confused. Even if he knew something now, what if he did?

He still didn't know what the truth was.

If the emperor's favor for Ye Jin is fake and the empress dowager is so disgusted with Ye Jin, why can Ye Jin live such a glorious and unscrupulous over the years?

And why did the father, why did he play in front of everyone?

Moreover, the father once loved Xipin the most and even named her Concubine Xi after her death. How could the father not love Xipin’s two sons?

Concubine Xi…

Ye Jin's brows moved slightly, and a thought slowly emerged in his heart.

"Brother-in-law." He looked at Chu Xiao calmly, "The fifth and sixth brothers have both fallen into trouble. Are they missed the throne?"

Chu Xiao nodded and said, "Forget it."

"If the father is still awake now, who will he pass the throne to?" Ye Jin couldn't help biting his lip, "I was still thinking just now that the fifth and sixth brothers have been defeated. The remaining person who is most qualified to inherit the throne should be the second brother, but at this time..."

"At this time you have a new idea?" Chu Xiao smiled faintly.

"After his death, Xipin was posthumously named Xi Concubine. Is the ninth brother also qualified to compete for the position of crown prince?"

"There are qualifications." Chu Xiao said, "The emperor favors him - whether this is a fact or an illusion, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor does favor him. If he really wants to take office, there should be many people who support him."

Ye Li was silent for a moment, "That brother-in-law was just in the Prince's Mansion, and was also discussing this matter with Prince Chu?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiao became silent in an instant.

The crown prince's matter has always been sensitive and is the most taboo for the emperor. It is actually not a big deal for the ministers to discuss privately, but if it is heard in the emperor's ears, it will never be a good thing.

So unless there are people in it, few people will be stupid enough to easily reveal their positions.

But Ye Li...

Chu Xiao was not prepared for him, so he was silent for a moment, and then said, "My elder brother means that King Zhuang and King Xuan have no hope. The person who competes for the throne is King Ling."

Ye Li nodded, King Ling really has the most chance of winning.

"King Ling has 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, and King Rui holds the Jingji camp in his hand. Although he is slightly inferior to him in terms of military power, unless King Ling wants to force the palace, military power will not play a big role."

Ye Li was quiet for a moment and still nodded.

"If King Jin wants to ascend the throne, he has the qualifications, but it is also difficult." Chu Xiao continued, "On the contrary, if King Rui wants to ascend the throne, it will be easier."

King Rui?

Ye Li's eyebrows sternly, "Emperor Brother?"

"Rui Wang now holds the regent's power, which is the best opportunity for him to experience and gain connections." Chu Xiao smiled faintly, "If Rui Wang had this idea and King Jin's help, King Ling would produce the strongest opponent."

Ye Li's mind was short-circuited when he heard this.

He looked at Chu Xiao with a confused look on his face, "Brother-in-law, that... the relationship between King Jin and the Changhuang brother is not very good. If you say that he wants to ascend the throne himself, I absolutely believe it, but you said that the Ninth Brother will assist the Changhuang brother... Why do I feel a little whimsical?"
