Therefore, the question facing the Ninth Prince now is——
Either rise up and resist, or get sick and die.
"Of course there's another possibility—" Su Luo said with a half-smile, "Isn't the Dark Emperor using you as a knife to sharpen the Qilin King? Once you defeat the Qilin King, the Emperor will pit you, who is in good health, against the healthy Crown Prince. Is there no reason for that? It's very simple. The late Emperor appeared in my dream and told me to give the throne to my ninth brother. By then, won't the Crown Prince's gang pounce on you and bite you to death?"
The Ninth Prince closed his eyes... and when he opened them, there was a look of determination in his eyes.
He asked Su Luo, "So, Miss Su, do you think I can succeed?"
Su Luo smiled faintly: "You are not sure, but with me, you are very sure, Ninth Prince."
The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly: "Miss Su is so confident?"
"Ninth Prince, would you like to give it a try?" Su Luo smiled faintly.
"Why does Miss Su want to help me?" asked the Ninth Prince.
"Of course it's for profit," Su Luo said. "We'll be going to Cloud on Cloud soon, so how can we do without some money? I don't want much from you either. After we succeed, just give me one-tenth of the national treasury."
In fact, the real reason was that Su Luo had fallen into this situation. If she did not struggle to fight back, she would surely die.
After her death, will Zi Yan and the others still be able to survive?
So, she must stand up and resist.
Su Luo touched her nose. She had known for a long time that the imperial capital was in crisis, but she had never imagined that the Dark Emperor would be so suspicious, cruel and ruthless to the point of being insane.
"Okay." The Ninth Prince agreed.
"But this matter cannot be told to anyone for the time being." Su Luo stared at the Ninth Prince, "Also, you must follow my orders and do not act rashly or alert the enemy."
"Of course." The Ninth Prince agreed.
However, he was really unsure in his heart. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would seize power and usurp the throne, so he had never prepared for it.
In order to avoid His Majesty's suspicion, the Dark Emperor even knew everything about what was in his Ninth Prince's Palace and what connections and wealth he had.
"What should we do first?" The Ninth Prince was also determined to take the risk.
If you don't resist, he will die.
If you resist, there is still a chance of survival.
So the Ninth Prince decided to fight.
"Actually... my father really wanted me to be the emperor back then, and there was even an imperial decree." The Ninth Prince suddenly unleashed a shocking attack.
Su Luo: "!!!"
Zi Yan: “!!!”
Others: “!!!”
"Where is the imperial edict?" Su Luo exclaimed.
"It's not with me," the Ninth Prince said. "When my father passed away, this edict became the biggest mystery. No one can find it."
"Then how do you know about this imperial edict?" Su Luo asked.
"The eunuch who was with my father at the time secretly passed the message to me. He later disappeared."
Su Luo: "...Who else can prove the existence of this edict?"
The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly, "Back then, there were four regents, but after my Second Brother ascended the throne, some of these regents died, some fell ill, and some retired. Now, the only one still alive is the old man from the Baili family."
"The Baili family?" Su Luo rubbed her brows. "Does they have an old grandfather?"
The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly, "Yes, but that old man was also a coward back then. After retiring, he fell ill and was bedridden for many years."
Su Luo understood immediately.
