Xiao Zheng was listening to Ling Lai's words, but a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Prince Tianxiong?"
Although Xiao Zheng is just an ordinary citizen, he still understands the inheritance rules of the Japanese royal family. As long as the current emperor does not die, the crown prince will always remain the crown prince. Unable to be promoted. Therefore, crown princes who are forty, fifty, or even older often come to the throne. If you are unlucky and your son dies but I don’t, the inheritance rights will have to change hands.
This is why in ancient China there were often dramas in which the prince forced the emperor to marry me. Not for anything else, just because I am tired of waiting...
The Crown Prince of Japan, Tenxiong. He is currently the first in line to succeed the Emperor. If nothing unexpected happens, once the emperor passes away, the next emperor is destined to be Tianxiong's bag.
Xiao Zheng had no objection to this, but he was curious, why did Ling Lai bring up this person at this moment
Raising his eyes slightly, Xiao Zheng looked at Ling Lai meaningfully.
"Brother the Emperor is a man of great talent, both civil and military. He can be said to be the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the royal family. He usually shows great care to a cousin who has no status like me. He is humble and polite." Ling Lai's eyes fell on a person. On top of the cherry blossoms, the expression is gentle.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Brother and sister have a strong relationship, which is a good thing."
The more he listened, the stranger he felt.
The Crown Prince suddenly interrupted for no reason, and Xiao Zheng believed that Ling Lai had a hint. It's not just chatting and having fun.
"By the way. Mr. Xiao." Ling Lai pushed the wheelchair and turned around slowly. "You came to see me suddenly. Do you have any orders?"
"I don't accept the orders." Xiao Zheng said with a humble attitude. "I just want to find out some news from His Highness the Prince."
"But it doesn't matter." Prince Ling Lainei said gently. "I tell you everything I know."
Xiao Zheng nodded lightly, and then asked after a moment of concentration: "A dozen of our Chinese special forces have lost contact outside of Tokyo. They have been missing for five days so far. I would like to ask His Highness the Prince if there is such a thing. Any news?"
"Chinese soldiers?" Prince Ling Lainei pretended to be surprised. "How did they appear in Japan?"
"On duty." Xiao Zhengyan said concisely and concisely.
"Have you ever said hello to the government or the military?" Prince Ling Lainei smiled. "Mr. Xiao, although we are friends, the relationship between China and Japan has always been sensitive."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "I didn't say hello. It's a confidential mission."
Prince Ling Linei smiled and said: "According to international law, even if they are killed by our army on the spot, it is normal. Since contact has been lost for more than five days, it must be difficult to find any more effective clues."
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, as a royal noble, have you really not heard any news?"
Based on Xiao Zheng's understanding of Ling Lai, this woman is very ambitious and definitely knows most of the news happening in Tokyo, including secrets. It would be a lie to say that she had not received any news.
But at this moment, Prince Ling Lainei didn't seem to want to reveal too much. He even rejected it immediately and stopped Xiao Zheng's thoughts.
This made Xiao Zheng quite unhappy.
Without his help, would Ling Lai be where he is today? Is she sure to kill Ito? Make meritorious service to the royal family
Seeing Xiao Zheng showing displeasure, Prince Ling Lainei first smiled and reassured Xiao Zheng not to worry. Then, after a moment of silence, she said slowly: "Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that I don't want you to get involved. Because this incident involves a wide range of things, and if you are not careful, you may be in danger." .”
"I'm already here." Xiao Zheng said with a shrug. "I won't leave until those soldiers are found."
"Why bother?" Ling Lai sighed softly and said. "As a soldier, you should have the spirit of sacrificing your life for the country. Since the mission failed, it is tragic to apologize with death."
"They are soldiers. Not slaves." Xiao Zheng did not agree with Ling Lai's point of view. "If the mission fails, they should escape intact. Their lives belong first to themselves, then to their families, and finally to the country."
Ling Lai was slightly startled, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zheng: "Mr. Xiao is indeed a person who values friendship and righteousness."
After a pause, she continued: "Mr. Xiao, I can tell you everything I know. But I still hope you won't get involved. You can visit Tokyo for a few days and then lead the team to leave. Otherwise, I'm worried that you will be in danger. .”
"Please tell me." Xiao Zheng said calmly.
When Ling Lai heard this, he no longer acted like a villain and said calmly: "That's right. Those Chinese warriors are indeed controlled by the Japanese. I only found out about this news two days ago."
"Which aspect?" Xiao Zheng asked sharply. "military?"
"There are shadows of the military, but it is not entirely the military." Ling Lai said slowly.
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng frowned. "Who else?"
"His Majesty the Emperor's biological brother, my little imperial uncle." Prince Ling Lainei pursed his lips and said. "The person most likely to succeed the Emperor."
Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly: "Isn't your eldest brother the first heir?"
"As far as I know, in ancient China, there were countless emperors who were not born as princes." Prince Ling Lainei said meaningfully. "Perhaps today's Japanese royal family no longer holds as much power as it did at the beginning of the last century. But the existing power is enough to encourage people to fight openly and secretly."
Xiao is from China and has been exposed to these things since he was a child. Coupled with these years of experience, he completely understood the position of the little emperor's uncle in Ling Lai's words.
He is in a high position and has great power, but his reputation is not justified!
"Ito was originally a guest of the emperor's uncle. It was precisely because of his appearance that the royal family turned a blind eye to Ito and my mother's affair. Now that Ito is dead, the emperor's uncle has no choice but to-" Ling Lai The prince said meaningfully. "Develop new allies."
"You mean that the group of missing soldiers were kidnapped by the military and your imperial uncle together?" Xiao Zheng said with a frown.
"Yes." Prince Ling Lainei nodded and said slowly. "As far as I know, Uncle Miyamoto also dispatched the Royal Guards to assist the military in this fishing operation."
"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief. "What good will it do to Miyamoto if he does this?"
"There are no direct benefits." Prince Ling Lainei shook his head and said. "But he provided the military with the whereabouts of the Chinese soldiers, including time, location, and target tasks. The ultimate goal was to obtain the military secrets of the Chinese military from the leader of this special force."
"In this way, the military owes Uncle Miyamoto a huge debt. It also adds chips for him to seize the throne in the future." Ling Laiyan said concisely and comprehensively.
In just one short sentence, the darkness and cruelty in the royal family were revealed.
The uncles and nephews who were supposed to live in harmony ended up fighting openly and secretly because of the supreme inheritance rights, and even formed cliques for selfish interests. Disrupt the program. It's really shocking.
