Chapter 707: Jing Yi Rebels!
Translator: Lordbluefire
For a moment, the thoughts of the elites in Country A were in flux. They visited Prince Jing Yi more frequently.
A week flew by.
Those who went to the island to look for people hadn’t returned, and the ministers were certain that the Princess was dead.
At this moment, Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui was pacing back and forth. From their initial certainty, they began to panic.
Even Chu Cichen was alarmed.
He then took a helicopter directly to the scene. As soon as he landed, he asked Jing Zhen for help and wanted to rescue people from Huyi Island.
Chu Cichen looked even thinner than before. Perhaps he was late in hearing the news. When he rushed over, there was a gloom in his eyes that wasn’t there before.
Jing Zhen felt that something was off with him but still spoke, “You don’t need to go. The elite troops have gone, and the three heads of the households are there. They are there to save their sons and will definitely do their best. You going alone won’t make a difference.”
However, Chu Cichen didn’t believe him and insisted on going himself.
Seeing his determination, Jing Zhen had no choice but to arrange a helicopter to send him to Huyi Island.
Now, the rescuers going to Huyi Island sent back messages every day, but none of the news was good. They either found the clothes of the Ji army or traces of a gorilla attack.
It had been raining the past few days, so they believed that the traces of blood must have been washed away…
Moreover, they found some bones, not knowing whether they belonged to humans or animals…
All the news was depressing.
If Jing Zhen did not have to stay in the royal palace of Country A, he would have gone to rescue his daughter himself.
But he couldn’t go.
He was the king of Country A. If he risked his own safety, the future of Country A would be truly chaotic!
Jing Zhen gave up personally searching for his daughter for the sake of Country A, but in the eyes of the ministers, he was still the unpredictable tyrant who didn’t regard Country A as his home.
On the seventh day, in the council chamber, the ministers all knelt down in unison, asking him to change the heir to the throne!
Jing Zhen looked at these people, thought of his one-week promise, and felt a lump in his chest.
He stood up abruptly and slammed the table. “Enough! Today is only the seventh day, and there are still a few hours before the day is over! What? Are you trying to rebel?”
His fury seemed even more violent in the eyes of the ministers.
The ministers dared not say more for a while.
Prince Jing Yi squinted his eyes when he saw this and suddenly stepped forward. “Royal Uncle, please calm down. The ministers are also thinking about the future of Country A…”
Jing Zhen immediately looked at him. “Don’t think I don’t know your little game, presumptuous creature. Your intentions are written all over your face. Do you really think I can’t handle you?”
With that, he roared, “Guards, lock up Jing Yi!”
This man had been stirring up the ministers against him. Jing Zhen knew, but he had been too anxious to find his daughter to deal with him. However, he didn’t expect Jing Yi to jump out today.
Jing Zhen decided to arrest him first, lest Jing Yi do something if his daughter was not found today.
To his surprise, as soon as his words fell, Ji Wuyou immediately ordered his guards to arrest Jing Yi, but Jing Yi suddenly stepped back. “Royal Uncle, you really… you forced me to do this!”
With that, Jing Yi shouted, “What are you waiting for?!”
As Jing Yi’s voice echoed, a large number of mercenaries suddenly flooded in from outside the door!
Those mercenaries were clearly not from Country A. They were obviously sponsored by the Karl family for Jing Yi!
Jing Zhen roared, “What are you doing?”
Jing Yi sighed, “Your Majesty, you forced me. I knew you had lost your sanity, so I specially borrowed mercenaries from outside to protect myself…”
At this time, all the generals of the three armies were in Huyi Island to look for their people. There was no one left who could mobilize the armies!
Also, the royal guards only obeyed Jing Zhen’s words. Therefore, even if the ministers objected, they could only protest until death. They had no military power, which was their biggest weakness.
Now, Jing Yi took advantage of the absence of the three great families to secretly let this group of mercenaries into the country, just to seize the throne today!
If successful… he would be the king of Country A in the future!
Upon thinking of this, Jing Yi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, but his face showed a look of being questioned and heartbroken. “Uncles, you all saw it. It was His Majesty the King who targeted me first. I am only trying to protect myself….”
