Only then did I feel the pain piercing my chest.
"Kill him!" Long Feng shouted.
Eunuch Song unfolded the imperial edict: "By the order of Emperor Dajing, Long Feng and Long Yaodong are guilty of treason and must be killed without mercy! Every branch of their lineage must be exterminated!"

"My royal brother wants to be emperor, and so do I," Long Yi said. "The most important thing is that my royal brother doesn't want Long Chi'an to succeed him, all because he's from the Shi family."
