They were well aware of the weight of this will; it concerned not only the succession to the throne but also the fate of a nation.
Wu Hanbai carefully unfolded the will; at that moment, his heart seemed to stop. Although the handwriting on the will was somewhat blurred, some parts were still legible.
To his shock, the name written on the will was not Wu Hanqing, but the child of Princess Chuchu.
The above indicates that this child is of the common bloodline of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Mingyue Kingdom, and should have been the hope of the Mingyue Kingdom, but Wu Hanqing usurped the throne.
At this moment, Wuhanbai was filled with shock and doubt. He had always believed that Wuhanqing was the rightful heir to the throne, but now it seemed that it was all a lie.
This child is the true heir to the throne; the blood of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Mingyue Kingdom flows in his veins!
He thought of Princess Chuchu, that beautiful and noble woman, his sister!
She was once the hope of the Ukrainian Empire, but she lost her child and died because of a conspiracy.
It's likely that the child has now been found by Princess Chuchu's forces!
Wu Hanbai took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement.
He knew the importance of the will and the crisis hidden behind the secret. He had to act quickly to expose the conspiracy and fight for the child's rights.
However, Wuhanbai also understood that this would be a difficult struggle. His elder brother, Wuhanqing, had already seized the throne and his influence extended throughout the country, while he was merely a powerless and idle prince.
He felt a pang of reluctance; after all, Wu Hanqing was his own brother, they were bound by blood, and the shared memories they had made were still vivid in his mind.
However, Princess Chuchu's children are the future of the Uhan Kingdom; they have noble blood flowing through their veins and possess supreme power.
Xu Yuehuai stood aside, watching Wu Hanbai's figure. He knew that this decision was not easy for Wu Hanbai. He stepped forward and gently patted Wu Hanbai's shoulder, trying to give him some strength.
“We need to cooperate,” Xu Yuehuai said. “Only in this way can we expose this conspiracy and fight for the rights that Princess Chuchu’s child deserves.”
Wu Hanbai remained silent for a moment, then nodded. He knew that everything Xu Yuehuai said was correct, and he had no other choice.
He sighed helplessly, then said, "Okay, I promise you."
Xu Yuehuai smiled and nodded, put away the will, and then saw Wu Hanbai off from the courtyard.
They walked through a dense forest and came to a small river. Wu Hanbai stopped and looked at the distant sky, his heart filled with endless thoughts.
“I will do everything in my power to secure the throne for Princess Chuchu’s child,” Wu Hanbai said. “But I also hope that we can live in peace.”
Xu Yuehua nodded; she knew it wouldn't be easy. However, she believed that as long as they worked together, they would definitely achieve their goal.
They smiled at each other, then went their separate ways.
His dark, white figure gradually disappeared into the distant horizon. His heart was filled with determination; he was determined to see this through to the end.
Xu Yuehuai felt a pang of guilt as she watched his retreating figure.
Then, Xu Yuehuai immediately relayed the news that Wu Hanbai was willing to cooperate with them to Bei Ye.
Upon learning this news, Bei Ye was overjoyed and sent a messenger to Xu Yuehuai, saying that their plan could begin...
However, Xu Yuehuai suddenly learned some very important news!
She liked to hesitate, but immediately rushed to the palace.
"I heard you're going to war with the Great Zhou Kingdom," Xu Yuehuai said calmly.
Wu Hanqing's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He sneered, "Your information network is quite impressive."
"I don't want to see our country plunged into war," Xu Yuehuai said firmly, looking directly into Wu Hanqing's eyes.
"Hmph, you're just afraid the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom will be harmed, aren't you?" Wu Hanqing said disdainfully.
“That’s not the point.” Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath. She knew she had to convince Wu Hanqing. “Peace between our two countries is hard-won. Why should we easily destroy it?”
Wu Hanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You think I'd listen to you? You're too naive."
Xu Yuehuai's heart sank, but she did not give up: "Then why are you secretly training soldiers?"
Wu Hanqing's expression changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it: "Are you accusing me?"
"I just want to know the truth." Xu Yuehuai stared intently at Wu Hanqing, sensing the panic in his heart.
Wu Hanqing remained silent for a long time, then sighed: "Alright, I admit it, I do intend to go to war with the Great Zhou Kingdom."
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, but he didn't show it: "Why did you do this?"
Wu Hanqing sneered: "Do you think you know all my plans?"
Xu Yuehuai did not back down: "War will only cause immense suffering and loss of life."
Wu Hanqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Because I want to make the Mingyue Kingdom stronger."
Xu Yuehua frowned. She had no idea what Wu Hanqing was thinking about every day.
"But war cannot bring us peace and prosperity."
“You have no idea,” Wu Hanqing shook his head. “Only through war can real benefits be obtained.”
Xu Yuehuai could not understand Wu Hanqing's thoughts, and she felt a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow.
She knew she had to find someone to stop Wu Hanqing immediately; she absolutely could not let the Mingyue Kingdom go to war with the Great Zhou Kingdom!
Seeing that Wu Hanqing was not heeding her advice, Xu Yuehuai left the palace.
When Wu Hanqing saw her like this, he wanted to have her captured, but he had a strange feeling in his heart.
......
At dusk, Wu Hanbai and Xu Yuehuai meet again.
Xu Yuehuai stood in front of Wu Hanbai with a determined look in his eyes. He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then spoke.
“Wu Hanbai, I’ve come to see you today because I have something very important to tell you.”
Xu Yuehuai's tone was serious, clearly indicating that this matter was very serious to him as well.
Wu Hanbai looked at Xu Yuehuai, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. He saw worry and anxiety flickering in Xu Yuehuai's eyes, which made his heart tighten.
"Wu Hanqing actually intends to wage war against the Great Zhou Kingdom!" Xu Yuehuai's voice was deep and powerful, her words like a heavy hammer hitting Wu Hanbai's heart.
Wu Hanbai was stunned; he couldn't believe his ears.
War is a disaster for ordinary people, especially since their small country seemed so insignificant in the face of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
A surge of anger welled up in Wu Hanbai's heart, but a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
“This is our chance.” Xu Yuehuai’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. “We must expose this conspiracy and let the whole country know the truth.”
