Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 995 Boss’s Reality Show (4)

"Fortunately, grandfather hasn’t taken a clear stance, but he has always been willing to help the Wu Family when they are in need. Although Shen Long and Shen Feng have a mediocre father, their mother is a well-cultured lady, so they were raised with quite orthodox family education."

"Elder Gu supports the Wu Family not just because of Old Master Shen’s relations; the main reason is that he takes a liking to the second generation of the Wu Family. In grandfather’s words, they have the right mindset."

An Yiqing was somewhat surprised. It was indeed rare for someone to receive such praise from Old Master Gu, and she suddenly became interested in this second generation of the Wu Family.

"What about the Kang Faction? Who supports them?"

Gu Yelin’s dark pupils chilled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a ruthless arc, "The Guh Family!"

The Guh Family? Realization dawned in An Yiqing’s eyes.

That’s right, with Guh Tian’s unbridled ambition, how could he not meddle in both the military and political realms, to live up to his title as Patriarch of the Guh Family?!

"These past years, the elder members of the Kang Family have maintained a very good relationship with Guh Tian. They benefit from mutual favors and sycophancy, and together they have caused quite a few problems over the years. Although the Guh Family’s influence isn’t as vast as the Gu Family’s, as an ancient martial arts family with centuries of foundation, their support makes the Kang Faction’s position a very stable play. Moreover, the current Family Head of the Kang Family is very ambitious. Aside from the Guh Family, they have also gathered the support of many other ancient martial arts families and powerful clans, intertwining complexly, making them incredibly difficult to uproot."

"What about the Wu Faction? With the support of the Gu Family, they must be even harder to shake, right?"

Watching the spirited eyes of the woman in his arms, Gu Yelin couldn’t help but lower his head and gently place a kiss on her forehead.

"Indeed, the Wu Family has the support of both grandfather and Old Master Bai, which solidifies their position. Otherwise, the current Monarch wouldn’t have been reelected for so many years."

Only then did An Yiqing remember, the current Xuanjin Sovereign Hua Zhifeng has very intricate ties with the Wu Family.

She sighed deeply, feeling somewhat emotional. The military and political circles were complex, especially in Xuandu City, the center of power, where every step was difficult and conflicts were endless. It seemed she needed to further understand the current distribution of power in Xuanjin, to ’know the enemy and know oneself, and never be endangered in a hundred battles.’

"Ah Lin, do you think that my second brother might have been assassinated because the An Family turned into a Wu Faction ally?"

An Yiqing had always harbored this suspicion. For over a decade, Elder An and An Zisheng had kept a low profile, and the An Family had been in a semi-retired state, favoring neither the Kang Faction nor the Wu Faction. This neutral stance, while enigmatic, had brought temporary peace. However, her engagement to Gu Yelin meant that the Gu Family and the An Family were now in the same boat, naturally making the An Family a Wu Faction ally.

An Yiqing suspected that An Zhiyan’s fatal trouble might be due to the Kang Faction wanting to prevent the Wu Faction from overpowering them, seeking to suppress the An Family that had just started re-emerging!

"This guess is highly possible. I have been investigating in this direction lately, and I believe we will soon have results. Your health has just recovered, don’t overexert yourself. Rest is most important."

An Yiqing lazily closed her eyes, feeling the gentle caress of Gu Yelin’s large hand on her hair, her body extremely comfortable.

"Today I called Qiu Yiping and asked him to send over the information about the person who instigated Yang Xuan to poison. I always feel that the person who harmed my second brother must have a very close connection with that person. However, Ah Feng investigated and found out that the person who urged Yang Xuan to use poison is a relative of Qiu Yiping’s sworn enemy, not very influential and seldom active in our circles. But something feels off to me. If this person is so ordinary, how could they have such a rare poison that’s been lost to time?"
