To be honest, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a student, and I can easily take on a dozen or so ordinary people at once.

"Your Highness, with your pampered upbringing, it seems unlikely you'll escape my grasp. Why don't you give it a try?"

Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily, then sat down in a chair and said:

"Alright, I'll let you try. If you can really kill me, then you'll have some skill."

The eldest prince of Adan hadn't expected Zhu Yunwen to remain so calm, which put him in a difficult position. He could only grit his teeth and say to Zhu Yunwen:

"Are you really not going to help me ascend the throne?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said:

“I won’t help. Helping a stupid pig like you to the throne would not be a good thing for either the Kingdom of Adan or for me.”

The eldest prince of Adan gritted his teeth:

"Then why did you put me on the throne in the first place? Just because I didn't keep my promise to make Adan a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty? Is this how you retaliate against me?"

Zhu Yunwen sighed and said:

"Don't you understand yet? From the beginning, we supported you because we knew what kind of person you were. Knowing what kind of person you were, we still wanted to put you on the throne just to use you."

From beginning to end, I never intended for you to remain the King of Adan, nor did I intend to rely on you to forge relations with the Ming Dynasty. You were merely a stepping stone for your brother.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince finally lost his temper and charged at Zhu Yunwen.

The dagger was plunged viciously into Zhu Yunwen's neck.
