The second prince glanced at his subordinate with a resentful look and said, "Why are you telling me so much? Now look what's happened, there's no escaping it now, is there?"
The subordinate said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't know things would turn out like this. I've already drugged everyone here. We took the antidote beforehand, so how come the Emperor is unharmed? It's truly baffling!"
The emperor, feeling depressed, locked himself in his palace, refusing to eat or drink.
Xiao Dezi paced anxiously, "What should we do? Your Majesty, you need to eat something! How can you not eat? Your health is of utmost importance!"
The emperor roared, "Get out—"
A cup was thrown out and almost hit Xiao Dezi.
Xiao Dezi was so frightened that he took a step back and dared not utter another sound.
The emperor tore his treasured portrait of Consort Shu to shreds.
"Why, why? All these years, I have treated you well. If it weren't for the opposition of the ministers, I would have even wanted to pass the throne to our child. But why have you treated me like this? Waaah..."
A man doesn't easily shed tears.
But this time, the emperor really cried.
She cried very sadly.
He cared more about Consort Shu than any other woman in the harem.
Hearing that she liked to eat bayberries, the emperor ordered people to send bayberries from a thousand miles away at top speed.
As a result, several horses died from exhaustion.
She loved flowers, so the emperor ordered people to collect all sorts of rare and exotic flowers and plants from all over the country and bring them into her palace.
But what about him? He didn't receive a single genuine feeling, and even the child wasn't his own!
Because he favored the second prince, he neglected the other princes. He was so foolish!
The second prince was imprisoned in a death row cell.
Treason and rebellion are capital offenses!
The emperor had raised her as his own son for so many years, only to discover that his favorite concubine had fathered an illegitimate child with another man.
For this reason alone, the Second Prince deserves the death penalty!
Stealing spirit stones is a capital offense!
Every single one of these offenses was a fatal crime for the Second Prince.
The second prince paced back and forth in the prison, sighing repeatedly.
A crow flew into the death row and said to the second prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, the people of Moonbeam Kingdom will come to rescue you!"
The second prince's eyes lit up, and he looked at the crow, saying, "Really?"
The crow nodded and said, "Yes! Please wait patiently, Your Highness!"
After saying that, the crow flapped its wings and flew away.
In the Kingdom of Moonbeam, the emperor passed away, and his only younger brother succeeded to the throne.
This new emperor is also the biological father of the second prince, Jingyu.
At this time, the Emperor of Moonbeam Kingdom had already issued a declaration of war to Dragon Kingdom, demanding that they release Jing Yu, or he would surely slaughter Dragon Kingdom!
Upon receiving the challenge, the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was furious.
Before he could even settle accounts with them after Consort Shu put a hat on him, they came knocking on his door first.
During court, the ministers discussed the matter at length.
The new emperor of Moonbeam Kingdom has cheated on the emperor of Dragon Kingdom; the two are rivals in love.
Now, in order to reclaim their prince Jingyu, the Moonlit Kingdom has not hesitated to issue a declaration of war against the Dragon Kingdom.
The timid minister suggested giving the Jingyu region directly to the Moonbeam Kingdom, thus avoiding a war and sparing the people from suffering.
But the emperor couldn't swallow this insult!
Giving Jingyu to Yuehui Kingdom is tantamount to announcing to the world that he is afraid of Yuehui Kingdom.
Moreover, Jing Yu's true identity was soon revealed to the world.
Everyone knows that the Emperor has been raising a child for the Moonbeam Kingdom all these years without giving him his own.
How could an emperor tolerate such an insult!
Your Majesty: "General Xu Ziming, the Cavalry Commander, receive my decree!"
Xu Zimo stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your subject is here!"
His Majesty: "I hereby appoint you as the Grand General to lead this campaign! You shall surely defeat the Moonlit Kingdom and uphold the prestige of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Yes!" Xu Ziming replied.
The Emperor's tone left no room for argument, and no one could refute it.
However, when Xu Zimo arrived at the front lines, the battle did not go smoothly.
The Moonlit Kingdom is known for its ruthlessness and viciousness. Their soldiers are even more cruel and ruthless than the Dragon Kingdom's soldiers, and their combat prowess is many times greater than that of the Dragon Kingdom's generals.
It was as if they weren't human.
Xu Zimo suffered repeated defeats.
News of the defeat quickly reached the Dragon Kingdom's royal palace.
The emperor was also shocked when he heard this.
Xu Ziming was previously invincible, so what happened when facing the Moonbeam Kingdom?
