Chapter 1778 The Crown (8)
In fact, Yun Lintian had long guessed the second prince's real name after seeing Yun Yi, Qing Xuan, and Yao Xi. These people obviously had a relationship with the Beyond Heaven King.
However, the revelation could still shock him. It made Yun Lintian realize that he was currently looking at the Beyond Heaven King's "past life."
Yun Lintian had a similar "dream" before. The first time was when he acquired the Moon. At that moment, he dreamed back to when he was on Earth and reliving the tragedy again.
The second time was when he obtained the Tree of Life. At that time, he had become an evil sovereign who bathed the world in blood in order to seek vengeance for his mother.
Despite Hongyue telling him that it wasn't a coincidence that everyone around him appeared in front of him again, Yun Lintian didn't honestly believe it. It was mainly because he felt that his "past lives" were too unbelievable and had nothing aligned with his present self.
Perhaps it was because Yun Lintian had collected all of the crown's relics that this phenomenon was triggered.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and continued to observe everything.
Yun Xing frowned slightly when he saw Yun Tian showing no reaction. He glanced at Yao Xi and said coldly. "Capture her."
He wanted to see if Yun Tian could still remain indifferent.
The guards stepped forward, but Yao Xi suddenly took out a knife and aimed it at her neck.
"I'll kill myself immediately if you come any closer." Yao Xi said solemnly.
The guards quickly stopped and looked at Yun Xing for instructions.
Yun Xing's expression turned gloomy. He naturally didn't want Yao Xi to die. Such a beauty, he had to play with her first.
He took a deep look at Yun Tian and asked. "Do you think you can turn around just because of the edict? Are you aware that I have already grasped everything in my hands?"
"Of course not." Yun Tian finally spoke. "I am fully aware that today is my last day."
"Why are you struggling, then?" Yun Xing asked further.
A smile appeared on Yun Tian's face as he replied. "I have promised our royal father to take care of the Yun Dynasty. However, I am not competent enough to achieve it. At least, I want everyone to know that you are not the rightful Emperor."
"What do you mean?" Yun Xing asked coldly.
"Before coming here, the contents of the final edict have been published to the masses. You will hear it soon." Yun Tian responded calmly.
"Bastard!" Yun Xing was immediately furious.
Eunuch Gao spoke quickly. "Please calm down, Your Majesty. It's just a petty scheme. We can stop it with a little effort."
Yun Xing gradually calmed down, but he still felt upset in his heart. He thought he controlled everything and believed Yun Tian would have no chance. Who would have thought that Yun Tian made such an arrangement right under his nose?
A cold glint flashed in Yun Xing's eyes as he spoke. "Let's see how long you can remain calm... Drag his maid over."
At that moment, the guard pulled Qing Xuan over and pointed his sword at her neck.
Yun Tian turned around to look at her and said gently. "Thank you for accompanying me."
Qing Xuan smiled brightly and said. "It should have been me who said this. Thank you for everything, Prince. If there is a next life, let me serve you again."
Yun Tian shook his head and said. "If there is a next life, I wish for you to become the most noble princess everyone in the world has to look up to you."
"We will meet again." Yao Xi said with a smile.
Tears welled up in Qing Xuan's eyes as she spoke. "Xuan'er will leave first, Prince, Princess."
As she finished her sentence, blood slowly trickled out of the corner of her mouth, and her complexion gradually grew pale. Her breathing became weaker.
Qing Xuan continued to gaze at Yun Tian as if she wanted to etch his image into her soul, ensuring she would remember him in her next life.
Soon, her head slowly drooped down, and her life came to an end.
Yun Lintian looked at Qing Xuan and muttered to himself. "You have indeed become the most noble princess."
Yun Xing's expression turned unsightly when he saw this scene. He planned to use Qing Xuan to play with Yun Tian's mind. Who would have thought that she would take her own life by poisoning herself?
"Trash!" He cursed at the guard.
Yun Tian turned to Yun Xing and took out an object wrapped in brocade. "There is one more thing."
Yun Xing and the others subconsciously looked at the object in Yun Tian's hand.
Yun Tian unwrapped the brocade. Immediately, a majestic crown adorned with eight exquisite jewels appeared before everyone's eyes.
Yun Lintian was stunned when he saw this. He couldn't be more familiar with this crown. It was none other than the Beyond Heaven King's Crown!
Yun Tian slowly lifted the crown and placed it on his head. "I call heaven and earth to be my witnesses. Today, I, Yun Tian, shall become the Emperor of the Yun Dynasty."
Rumble—
Suddenly, the entire palace shook violently, followed by a dull sound.
"What's going on?" Eunuch Gao hurriedly shouted.
"There is a situation!" At this moment, a soldier rushed into the hall and spoke. "The palace is on fire! Please evacuate immediately!"
Instantly, everyone panicked and ran out of the main hall.
"You... You... Have you gone insane!?" Yun Xing looked at Yun Tian angrily. Without a doubt, it was Yun Tian who did this.
At that moment, black smoke slowly filled the hall, accompanied by a wave of intense heat.
Yun Xing was shocked. He couldn't understand how Yun Tian had made all of this.
Eunuch Gao quickly said. "Please leave immediately, Your Majesty. We can rebuild the palace in the future."
"Y-Yes..." Yun Xing regained his composure. "Kill them!"
Before the guards could move, Yun Tian turned to look at them and said. "Is he worthy of your sacrifice? You should know that you will never see the sun tomorrow after killing me."
The guards faltered immediately. Yes. The crime of killing a prince was inevitable, even though they carried it out under Yun Xing's orders. Without a doubt, they would be killed eventually.
"Go. Save your life." Yao Xi spoke softly.
The guards glanced at each other and then left immediately...
"Trash!"
