Chapter 592: His Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The news reported that an explosion occurred in a Rolls-Royce limousine at the Buckingham Palace this morning at 8 a.m. In the video aired on the news, a large fire blazed from the car, as a uniformed driver caught on fire climbed out of the car.
Next, a group of soldiers were rushing over to save people.
The incident happened half an hour ago.
Nan Zhi’s heart thumped. She got up from the bed, heading outside.
Qiao Yanze, who had just settled the discharge procedures, just happened to arrive at her ward, and the two of them almost bumped into each other.
Qiao Yanze’s slender hands held onto her shoulders when he noticed a panicking Nan Zhi. “What’s wrong?”
Nan Zhi’s long eyelashes fluttered. “I heard on the news that an explosion occurred at the Royal Palace.” She was worried that the car might be Mu Sihan’s car. Although the news did not report on who got injured, there were only few members of the royalty who could enter and leave the Royal Palace.
Qiao Yanze pulled Nan Zhi back into her ward, his handsome face slightly serious as he said, “It’s not Mu Sihan.”
Nan Zhi let out a breath slightly, before she asked nervously again, “Who is it then?”
“It’s his father’s car.”
Nan Zhi bit her lips with her white teeth. “Who would be so daring to bomb the Crown Prince’s car?”
Qiao Yanze glanced at the door, whispering softly after seeing no one around, “The Third Princess and the Crown Prince are fighting very intensely for the crown. The Third Princess has been exposed to gambling, corruption, laundering of money and misused her authority two days ago, and the Crown Prince’s car exploded today. Now, the two of them are both defeated from their fight.”
Qiao Yanze’s lips curled up meaningfully. “If the two of them end up badly, can you imagine who will benefit from it?”
“If the Crown Prince is seriously injured this time, he might be abdicated not too long later!” Qiao Yanze smiled brightly at Nan Zhi. “The man you chose is indeed extraordinary!”
Nan Zhi was speechless. How was Mu Sihan related to the Third Princess and Ye Fengjun being both defeated?
“Once Ye Fengjun falls, your man would be able to take the authority Ye Fengjun holds from him. Even if he would not be appointed as the Crown Prince by the Queen immediately, he would no longer have to be controlled by his father anymore.”
After what happened with Qiao Yanrong, Qiao Yanze realized that Mu Sihan was a lot smarter and capable than he had thought. In the past year, he had successfully defeated two important figures quietly from within the shadows. It was obvious that he was not as simple as he appeared to be.
...
In the Royal Palace.
Mu Sihan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a cigar held between his slender fingers. He did not smoke, merely letting the smoke rise up to blur his handsome and well-defined face.
He narrowed his cold eyes, making him appear extremely guarded.
Yi Fan entered after knocking on the door.
“Young Master, the Crown Prince is fine now. However, he lost one of his legs from the explosion and he has not woken up yet from losing too much blood.”
Mu Sihan inhaled a breath with the cigar, not saying anything.
“Young Master, did someone on the Third Princess’ side plan this explosion?”
Mu Sihan smirked coldly. “The Third Princess is still planning a bigger conspiracy, so it’s naturally not planned by her.”
“Who could it be then?”
Mu Sihan tapped the ashes off the cigar above the ashtray, a meaningful look appearing in his eyes. “It’s a person who wants to be on top of everyone else.”
Yi Fan was still confused, not understanding who Mu Sihan was referring to. However, he knew that no matter how ruthless Mu Sihan was, he was not ruthless enough to kill his father in an explosion.
Although there were not any feelings between the father and son, he still had his humanity!
...
In the afternoon, Mu Sihan was summoned for an immediate meeting with the Queen.
With something so big happening to the Crown Prince and the Third Princess in such a short time, the Queen had aged quite a bit.
According to the S Country’s Royal rules, the crown could not be passed on to a disabled person. No matter how capable Ye Fengjun was, he would never become the King in the future.
Apart from Mu Sihan, the Queen had also summoned Ye Yanfeng to the meeting,
The Queen did not have a lot of children, and these two grandsons were the most capable she had right now. The next candidate for the Crown Prince would also be chosen between them.
The Queen stared at Mu Sihan and Ye Yanfeng, who were equally tall. She sat behind her distinguished desk and gestured, “Sit down, the both of you.
“The troops at Yukou border just sent a war report that the neighboring country has suddenly attacked our troops in the midst of the mess within our Royal family. The battle there is intense right now. If our enemy is able to conquer the Yukou border, then our land would be occupied and other countries will also take the chance to take our country’s land.
“Right now, I need to send a Prince to lead our soldiers to defeat the enemy and guard the Yukou border. We need to save and protect our people and guard our country’s land!”
This war may have appeared to be sudden, but the truth was that there was an internal enemy that had colluded with the neighboring country to take the crown. Both Mu Sihan and Ye Yanfeng understood that the internal enemy was likely to be the Third Princess. As her last resort, she was not willing to spare the lives of their people and dragged them into deep fires of war. People like them were extremely devious!
The battle this time was different from the past. With the Third Princess colluding with their enemy, it would be very dangerous for the Prince going over to guard the border, and it was possible that the Prince may be unable to return!
The grandson that the Queen doted on the most, Ye Qing, was no longer around, so she was more biased towards Ye Yanfeng. As for Mu Sihan, the master back then said that he was a jinx and a bad existence.
She kept silent for a while, before her eyes landed on Mu Sihan.
Mu Sihan understood what the Queen meant, he did not make an excuse to not be the one chosen.
For him to become a King in the future, he needed to have military achievements and be respected by both the people and the military!
“I’ll go!”
The Queen nodded, pleased when she saw Mu Sihan accepting the offer without any hesitation. “I hope you will not disappoint me.”
...
Mu Sihan and Ye Yanfeng left the Queen’s office.
Ye Yanfeng stared at Mu Sihan, smirking, “You can go to the battlefield without any worry. Even if you don’t return, I’ll take care of your wife and son for you.”
Mu Sihan’s expression was tensed, as he turned around to grab Ye Yanfeng’s collar. “I hope for your sake that you’re not involved in this war. If I find it’s not the case, I will not let you off after I return!”
Ye Yanfeng scoffed, “Then keep yourself alive before we can see who’s better, once and for all, after you return!”
...
Nan Zhi could not contact Mu Sihan all day.
Although she knew that his car was not the one involved in the accident, she was still slightly worried.
She had a feeling that something bad would happen.
...
At night.
She went to the supermarket with her mother.
“Zhizhi, my mind wasn’t well recently, I’ve only become more conscious in the past few days. I heard that Mr. Mu is the Fourth Prince, and that he has also gotten married, right?”
Nan Zhi, who was pushing the trolley, froze a little.
Her mother had always been gentle and warm, and rarely used such a strict tone to speak to her.
Nan Zhi bit her lip, explaining, “Mom, things are not what you think they are...” She stopped when she remembered Shangguan Wan asking her to keep it a secret. “Please give him a little more time!”
An Feng stared at Nan Zhi, her gentle and beautiful face stern with no smile. She had never looked so serious, “I don’t know what he had promised you, but Zhizhi, you know that I hate third parties the most. He is indeed very charming and has a great background, but will you also lose yourself and become an immoral person?”
Nan Zhi pursed her lips, whispering by An Feng’s ear. “Mom, Shangguan Wan and he did not register their marriage. They merely...”
In the end, she told everything she knew to An Feng.
