"Still, the 8th prince, huh… that's an unexpected dark horse", Wu Long said while calming down from laughter, shaking his head as he sipped some cheap wine, "I personally suspected the 4th"
"Eh? W-what do you mean?", Chen Hui raised his eyebrows.
"It seems it was the 8th prince's family who arranged for this scheme with the Tuyin Dynasty, or rather, they both are connected to the same people behind them so it isn't exactly right to say they did something, but they're the ones that should come out on top if this marriage comes through", Wu Long explained, "It's good that they're finally out of the shadows though, I can finally see who I'm against, though I wouldn't discount the 4th prince's family just yet"
"I-I thought they simply jumped at the opportunity…", Chen Hui gulped, vaguely understanding from Wu Long's words that there was a larger shadow looming behind this whole battle of succession, larger than even the Wei Dynasty itself.
