Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a beat, Chu Zai said nonchalantly, “I know about that matter. I don’t know which villain tried to deal with the King of Youshan’s Residence. Fortunately, you’re fine.”
Chu Zai’s eyes flashed when he spoke.
Chu Yuefu and the others remained calm despite the fact that Chu Zai had ordered them to plan that matter seven years ago.
The King of Youshan was old and only had one grandson, Li Chengan. If anything happened to Li Cheng’an, the King of Youshan’s Residence would fall. Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to kill Li Cheng’an seven years ago, but Li Cheng’an also became stronger and stronger. Now, he was already powerful enough to threaten the imperial court.
“That culprit is simply despicable. However, we haven’t found any clues after so long. I don’t think we’ll be able to find anything now. Let’s not mention the past,” Chu Zai said dismissively as he waved his hand, wanting this matter to pass quickly.
Chu Yuefu chimed in, “That’s right, King of Youshan. I know that you’re angry. However, I think the King of Youshan’s Residence was too ostentatious back then and offended many people. That’s why someone tried to kill you. Let’s not mention the past.”
Chu Yuefu was not sure if Feng Yili had discovered something so it was better to dismiss this matter first.
However, Feng Yili sneered and said, “Your Majesty, that assassination almost destroyed the King of Youshan’ Residence. Do you still think it’s a small matter?”
‘What does he mean by that?’
Everyone looked at Feng Yili with a curious gaze.
Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched violently as she thought to herself, ‘Don’t tell me
Feng Yili wants to…’
Before she could react, Feng Yili had already removed his mask.
Feng Weizhou reacted first.
“Ninth Imperial Uncle?!”
Many people present recognized Feng Yili. How could they not recognize the Prince Regent of Tianxia who was famous all over the world?
“The Prince Regent of Tianxia?” Chu Yuefu, who had met Feng Yili once, exclaimed in shock.
‘Feng Yili? The Prince Regent of Tianxia?’
Chu Zai narrowed his eyes again, and they shone with a sinister light as he questioned, “When did the Prince Regent of Tianxia become the King of Youshan in Xichu? What’s going on?”
The imperial guards also prepared to move, raising their swords and pointing them at Feng Yili.
“W-what’s going on?”
Chu Ruishi staggered back. It was only because of Li Xu’s support that he did not fall to the ground.
Feng Yili said expressionlessly, “Li Cheng’an was killed seven years ago. I’m the
Prince Regent of Tianxia, and I’m also the adopted grandson of the former King of Youshan. ”
Due to the loss of blood, Feng Yili’s face was slightly pale. However, his eyes were clear and piercing, making many people afraid to look at him.
“The Prince Regent of Tianxia. How amazing! Feng Yili, you pretended to be the King of Youshan to infiltrate Xichu! I have reason to suspect that you have ulterior motives. What exactly do you want to do to Xichu?” Chu Zai questioned furiously.
As soon as Chu Zai spoke, many ministers also began to criticize Feng Yili. “That’s right. You’ve been lurking in Xichu for so long. What evil intentions do you have?”
“You and Tianxia must give us an explanation!”
Chu Zai looked at Feng Weizhou, who was standing nearby, with a sharp gaze as he asked with a faint smile, “Crown Prince of Tianxia, do you know about this? Can you give me an explanation about this?”
Feng Weizhou cursed and mocked inwardly, ‘Ninth Imperial Uncle is really amazing. Imperial Father and I had no idea about this at all. The relationship between Tianxia and Xichu isn’t good, to begin with. His actions are only making the relationship worse! When news spreads back to Tianxia, his reputation will definitely take a hit!’
Feng Weizhou stepped forward and said apologetically with a frown, “Emperor of Xichu, this matter is indeed Ninth Imperial Uncle’s fault. However, Imperial
Father and I were unaware of this matter.”
Feng Weizhou decisively drew a line between Tianxia and Feng Yili.
“Oh? So this was done by your Ninth Imperial Uncle alone?” Chu Zai asked meaningfully. He was testing to see if Tianxia and Feng Yili were on the same side. He wondered if Tianxia would send troops if he captured Feng Yili. After all, Feng Yili was more valuable than Li Cheng’an.
Feng Weizhou’s expression stiffened. After all, he knew what the old fox was thinking. He said vaguely, “No matter what, Ninth Imperial Uncle is my Imperial Father’s younger brother. He’s the Prince Regent of Tianxia. Even if he made a mistake, we can’t abandon him.”
Chu Zai’s expression darkened. He was clearly dissatisfied with this answer.
At this moment, Feng Yili said faintly, “This matter is done by me alone. It has nothing to do with Tianxia.”
Chu Zai was delighted. He said, “In that case, I don’t have to feel sorry for the Emperor of Tianxia. Men, Feng Yili impersonated Li Cheng’an and violated the laws of Xichu. Capture him and lock him up in the prison.”
Chu Zai was in a very good mood, thinking that he had captured Feng Yili.
‘It seems like the banquet is very successful…’
Meanwhile, the envoys from various countries wore various expressions on their faces.
Feng Yili alone was able to control half of Tianxia. Now that he was captured by Chu Zai, it was clear that the world was about to change.
For this reason, none of them wanted anything to happen to Feng Yili.
“Feng Yili.”
Yu Yunxi’s expression was grave. She grabbed his sleeve, wanting to protect him.
Just as the imperial guards approached, Feng Yili said coldly, “Emperor of Xichu, I still have 200,000 troops under my command. They don’t answer to
anyone but me. They’re stationed all around Xichu. Do you still want to capture
me?”
Chu Zai was enraged. “You! What do you mean? Are you going to attack Xichu?” The ministers and officials of Xichu were flustered. After all, 200,000 troops were not a trivial matter.
“Ninth Imperial Uncle, those troops…”
Feng Yili interjected coldly, “Those are my troops. They have nothing to do with Tianxia.”
Feng Weizhou’s face alternated between black and red. It was very interesting.
Chu Zai laughed, not taking Feng Yili’s threat seriously at all. He said, “Feng Yili, you actually dare to threaten me in my territory. I want to see what those
200,000 troops can do after I capture their master!”
Feng Yili ignored Chu Zai and asked Chu Ruishi, “Emperor Emeritus, are you going to let the country go to war?”
Everyone fell silent and looked at Chu Ruishi in unison.
“Imperial Father, we can’t let such an arrogant brat threaten us. You…”
“Shut up!” Chu Ruishi said sternly..
