Chapter 143 The Battle for the Throne



Yan Yunshu's forehead suddenly exploded.

The news of his death was like thunderclap out of nowhere, leaving Yan Yunshu's brain blank for a long time.

She sat down blankly and looked at her two cousins blankly.

Listen to what my cousins are saying.

"After my grandfather entered the palace to meet His Majesty, he immediately sent word to us. My grandmother, who had anticipated this, told us to take you and your belongings and rush to the Liuli Villa in Lingxiu City overnight..."

Yan Yunshu had a terrible headache. She covered her forehead with her hands and felt very upset.

She was unwilling to leave the imperial city and didn't want to leave the imperial city.

There were my grandparents and Xu Jinghuai.

Seeing this, Wen Tingfeng continued, "Grandmother had already thought of this when Grandfather entered the palace. She knew very well that you didn't want to go to Lingxiu City, so she let you smell some soothing incense and sent you to the carriage."

Wen Tingyun continued, "Grandma said that she has personally conveyed all the words to Xu Jinghuai, so you can rest assured!"

How to be at ease!

Yan Yunshu looked at the vast sea of snow.

The endless snow made me wish I could rush back to the imperial city and be with my grandparents.

But what can I do? Now is not the time to be willful. In such a snowy weather, let alone myself, even if I turn back now, I may not be able to make it alive.

But no matter what, she had to watch her family in danger, and Xu Jinghuai didn't know what was going on.

She couldn't feel at ease.

"Cousin, what you mean is that Xu Jinghuai rushed to the Marquis' Mansion as invited, and discussed with my grandmother about sending me to Liuli Villa?"

"Well... Shu'er, this time we're going to Lingxiu City with a mission..." Cousin Wen Tingfeng frowned. "First, to get you safely to the Liuli Villa, which is protected by a natural barrier. Second, if anything happens, we have to work together to defend Lingxiu City."

After saying this, he looked firmly into the eyes of his second cousin Wen Tingyun.

After hearing that she could make a difference in this troubled world, Yan Yunshu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, felt a little relieved.

It's no longer as empty as before.

"Then grandparents, uncle, aunt..."

"My father has already rushed to the border overnight. After my mother has taken care of all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, she will bring grandparents to Liuli Villa as soon as possible. Shu'er, don't worry, grandma has arranged everything."

In the lobby of the inn.

The atmosphere was heavy with tension, as people who knew nothing about the royal changes were gossiping anxiously.

"I heard that the current emperor is terminally ill, and the position of crown prince remains undecided. The world is unpredictable, and Tianze may soon be in chaos!"

"Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always resulted in bloodshed and sacrifice. There are no accidents! I am really worried!"

"Your Majesty is wise and only has one wife and one concubine, just to avoid disputes over the throne. But did you ever imagine that in the end, you would still have two princes!"

"The two princes are equally matched, so they will naturally fight to the death!"

"Anyway, in the end, it's ordinary people like us who suffer!"

"Which prince do you think is more virtuous?"

"Of course it's the gentle and humble eldest prince!"

"Well, although the Second Prince has made great military achievements, during the Battle of Moon-Watching City, he and his soldiers abused their military power for the sake of military merit, disregarding the lives of the people and engaging in a disorganized fight against the Hansha army. In the end, he even killed without distinguishing friend from foe just to survive. Countless soldiers perished under his sword. It's truly terrifying. If he becomes the new emperor, Tianze will suffer!"

"The eldest prince, of course the eldest prince is better."

“Who knows what the ending will be…”

"Everyone is overthinking it. With the Second Prince here, there won't be any suspense."

"Alas... let's just leave it to fate!"

When Yan Yunshu heard this, she felt even more upset.

Wei Ruofeng, who held important evidence of Wangyue City and could clear the grievances of Xu Jinghuai and all the soldiers in the army, had already gone to Prince Huai's Mansion.

But she didn't understand why Xu Jinghuai had not yet announced the evidence and the truth to the world!

Now, everyone is speaking in favor of Xu Jingye.

It was obvious that Xu Jingye was the murderer who abandoned the people of the entire city and all the soldiers for his own personal gain!

"Shu'er, don't take the rumors to heart."

As his cousin Wen Tingfeng spoke, he pushed the delicious meal in front of Yan Yunshu and said, "Eat more first to warm yourself up. We still have a long way to go."

Yan Yunshu looked at the heavy snow that couldn't be stopped.

He nodded and lowered his head to start eating.

As I ate, I began to worry about Xu Jinghuai.

I wonder if he can even eat a hot meal now? Inside the palace, there's Princess Fengling, whose body has been replaced, and his unconscious aunt. Outside, there's the ever-watchful Xu Jingye and the Hansha army behind him. Inside the palace, there's the Empress, who has been meticulously planning and strategizing for years.

Xu Jinghuai... I know you have made many plans to prepare for today.

But Xu Jingye was reborn, and now he is desperate and has joined forces with the Hansha army...

Even with my grandfather's help, even with Wei Ruofeng as a powerful bargaining chip...

Can you really hold on?

In the Tianze Palace, the emperor passed away, but his body is still warm.

Xu Jinghuai and Xu Jingye stood opposite each other.

"Xu Jinghuai, give up. The throne is mine, forever and ever."

"Xu Jingye, you are dreaming."

Xu Jingye's grin was sinister, and there was a smugness in his eyes that was almost crazy.

In this life, he had tens of thousands of private soldiers arranged for him by his mother, and the Hansha army that had already been deployed on the border.

Even though you have military power and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and now this palace is surrounded by your people, so what?

The cold sand formation is set up at the border, and I have my private soldiers inside and outside the imperial city.

I can threaten you by holding the whole world as hostage, just like in my previous life, I held the people of the world as hostages to threaten you!

"Xu Jinghuai, the Hansha army is now stationed in the northwest. The life and death of all the people of Tianze depends on your decision. I advise you to give up. This throne is mine!"

Xu Jingye drew his sword and pointed it at Xu Jinghuai's chest.

Laughing wildly.

In his previous life, he had only used the Hansha army as bait, and he withdrew on his own initiative.

In this life, it is true that Hansha’s army is in charge, it is true that he has tens of thousands of private soldiers, and it is true that he holds the secret code to contact Hansha immediately.

How could you, Xu Jinghuai, not withdraw from the fight for the throne!

Xu Jinghuai's eyes were filled with coldness. He twitched the corner of his mouth, and a strange, yet complacent, cold smile escaped from his lips.

He knocked the sword out of Xu Jingye's hand.

Dozens of death warriors and secret guards stood in front and behind the two men.

"Xu Jingye, you are so ridiculous..."

Xu Jingye frowned and looked at Xu Jinghuai. He couldn't understand where the determination on his face came from.

"you……"

Xu Jinghuai snorted coldly, stopped talking, and just stared at him.

Xu Jingye looked at Xu Jinghuai inquiringly.

A sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

Xu Jinghuai, you can fool others but you can't fool me!

You care about them!

It was like this in the previous life, and it must be like this in this life!!
