Chapter 1143

The struggle between Fu Su and Hu Hai in the imperial court was not a secret; many ministers knew about this matter.

Some chose to attach themselves to Fu Su or Hu Hai, and some ministers chose to remain neutral.

But in general, the fact that these two factions were competing was not a secret.

In the past, some people were puzzled as to why His Majesty the Emperor allowed these two factions to fight. Now, they understood; this was the result of the Emperor's deliberate indulgence. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to choose a successor in this way.

But what truly shocked many ministers was Seeing Ying Zheng's subsequent sentence.

According to His Majesty the Emperor's words, someone actually did not hesitate to harm their own brothers?

"Is it Hu Hai? Hu Hai intended to harm the eldest young master Fu Su?"

Those who could survive in the imperial court were not stupid; many people immediately guessed the truth.

Immediately, Seeing Ying Zheng recounted the whole story.

Only then did everyone know that it was because Seeing Ying Zheng appointed Young Master Fu Su as the supervising official, making Hu Hai think that Seeing Ying Zheng was going to name Fu Su as Crown Prince, and this move was a measure to establish prestige for Fu Su.

He did not want to lose to Fu Su, and so, he chose to take a risk, sending people to follow the army to the northern lands, waiting for an opportunity to poison Fu Su's wine.
