If one's own nephew takes over, what power will he have left?
It's just the death of a half-brother who grew up with me.
Why would He Jin continue to care about a worthless dead person?
"Hmm...you little ones, rest in the princess's side hall for now. Zhao Hao, don't let my daughter's good intentions go to waste!"
"Your Majesty, I thank you. Please rest assured. If anyone wishes to harm her, they will have to step over my dead body first!"
...
After everyone dispersed, Liu Hong instructed Jian Shuo to clean up the bloodstains in the main hall, and with the help of Wang Yue and Zhang Rang, he returned to his bedchamber.
"Master Zhang, have you made all the arrangements for the wedding? If not, hurry up and finish them. If you have, then go and check them!"
Zhang Rang immediately understood that Liu Hong thought he was in the way, so he quickly bowed and replied.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will personally inspect every detail of the princess's wedding!"
"Oh, Your Majesty, would you like to rest in peace? How about I have the eunuchs and maids wait at the palace gate?"
"Yes, thank you for your trouble. Go ahead."
"It's nothing, I'll be going now."
After Zhang Rang walked away, Liu Hong looked at Wang Yue beside him.
Wang Yue was still breathing heavily, and his lips were slightly pale.
However, it's nothing serious.
"Wang Yue, what if Zhao Hao used that sword on you?"
Can you stop it?
Wang Yue was taken aback, then shook his head.
"That sword strike just now contained the powerful internal energy of several martial artists. Unless it was a massive object weighing a thousand pounds pointing at a steel city gate, it would be absolutely impossible for my current mortal body to withstand such an attack!"
"Hehe... No wonder this kid was able to achieve such great feats in the Northern Frontier."
"However... I have also gained some insights from this sword observation. I will probably be able to break through soon. At that time, I may be qualified to fight him."
"Even you... are you only qualified to fight?"
"Your Majesty, General Zhao's personal guard possesses immense power and his cultivation level is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if General Zhao hadn't made a move just now, that evil spirit could have been easily destroyed."
But General Zhao still revealed his secret techniques to us. Perhaps Your Majesty didn't need to do that..."
"Heh, Wang Yue, are you going to teach me how to do things too?"
Wang Yue was taken aback and quickly cupped his hands in apology.
But Liu Hong waved his hand, "Forget it, I know what you're thinking. Even I don't want to doubt this good lad."
However, while one should not harbor malicious intent, one must be wary of others. Wang Yue, I have a favor to ask of you.
"Your Majesty's order cannot be refused!"
"This isn't an order, it's more like a request. I want you to stay by Xie'er's side. I love this son the most, and he's the only one I have the strength to protect."
"Can you say yes to me?"
Wang Yue sighed. Only then did he understand why Liu Hong had said "please."
Wang Yue was actually Liu Hong's personal bodyguard, and he had a certain right to know about various matters in the palace.
This also includes... the fact that Liu Hong's body can't hold on for much longer!
"I... I feel the heartache of parents everywhere. Your Majesty did not despise my humble origins as a villain, and promoted me step by step, which is how I became the King Yue I am today."
Your Majesty, rest assured, my heart will only belong to the Han imperial family! If anyone dares to harm Prince Xie, they will first have to ask if my sword is sharp enough!
This oath is witnessed by Heaven and Earth, and heard by the Sun and Moon. Anyone who dares to break it will surely die a gruesome death!
