Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 905 - 381: Her Cunning Hypocrisy and Cruelty Are No Less Than the Gravely Ill Emperor

As the hour reached seven, the gates of Guangming City swung open, and the carriage set out.

Four tall and strong horses led the way, guards on both sides hoisting Standard Banners embroidered with 'Eastern' and 'Yu'. Inside the grand eight-carrier sedan, King Yu, Dongfang Yinghai, dressed in a Nine Chapter Pattern Crown Robe, sat firmly on the throne, looking ahead through the crown at Dongfang Xinglan riding on the warhorse.

For a moment, King Yu's eyes flickered in a trance.

Back then, the niece who once managed the Jinyi Guard is now a powerful ruler in the Southwest, commanding millions of soldiers.

The Dynasty has been established for over four thousand years, although I am nominally Dongfang Xinglan's uncle, the bloodline between the main lineage and the collateral branches has long been as distant as strangers over the years.

But seeing my niece now riding on the warhorse does recall the majesty depicted in the portrait of the Great Ancestor Emperor.

King Yu gathered his thoughts and slowly spoke, with a sonorous voice: "I wonder what brings King Qin here from afar?"

He hasn't raised any rebellion as of now, yet Dongfang Xinglan is one of the leaders of the rebel army advocating 'Clearing the King's Side, national calamity'. Honestly, I really don't want to get involved with this niece.

Sitting in Jinchi State, being a carefree Prince is much more pleasant.

Dongfang Xinglan took off the mask, smiling slightly: "I have something to inform Uncle Wang, concerning the Dongfang Clan."

Upon hearing this, King Yu's eyes slightly flickered, recalling the swift slaughter of Royal Family members in the Southern region recently.

Could it be Dongfang Xinglan's doing?

While King Yu was pondering, Dongfang Xinglan continued: "With so many experts in Guangming City now and a hundred thousand troops stationed, is Uncle Wang really afraid I'll be able to kill you?"

"Afraid indeed." King Yu calmly responded: "My strength is merely that of a Great Grandmaster, at this close distance, King Qin could kill me as easily as killing a chicken...

Moreover, now you are a traitor, I have nothing to discuss with you!"

"Is Uncle Wang not afraid that the murderer will target you next?" Dongfang Xinglan chuckled lightly: "I am informing this matter to you so that Uncle Wang can be prepared, otherwise... My elder brother, the Crown Prince, stationed in Shengjing will eventually make a move against you."

"Oh?" King Yu slightly frowned, was Prince Fen killed by the Crown Prince's people?

Is that possible?

The Crown Prince is now the main lineage of the Dynasty, ruling over half the realm, where the nation is thriving and peaceful. Coupled with the uprising of rebels, why would he attack the royal family at this moment?

Consolidating power... Not in such a drastic manner, surely.

"King Qin." King Yu said expressionlessly: "You take your path alone now, I..."

"Can Uncle Wang still reach out to the royal relatives in the Capital region?" Dongfang Xinglan directly interrupted King Yu's words: "In the past few months, has the Crown Prince executed few from the royal family? How come their households vanished utterly?"

Upon hearing this, King Yu's heart skipped a beat, the Crown Prince used reasons like seizing civilian lands and misconduct to kill many from the royal family, he was naturally aware of this. For this, he sent valuable treasures and beauties overnight to plea for mercy, but aside from one letter of comfort, there was no further response from Shengjing's side.

Additionally, he indeed investigated the circumstances of the executed royal families, although there was no implication, many Prince Mansions were indeed tightly shut, appearing lifeless.

For this, many of his personnel got lost.

Is the Crown Prince really purging the royal family to acquire wealth and military power to suppress the rebellion?

King Yu's face darkened a bit; he knew the character of various princes within the royal lineage, although many were good, there were also plenty who weren't... If Shengjing's side truly intended to make a move, they wouldn't lack reasons to find.

Yet, such a method of exterminating a whole family for consolidation of power, King Yu had never heard of it.

Even when all are supposed to be one family, isn't this a bit excessive?

Without the support of tens of millions of royal family members from various regions, on what basis does Shengjing maintain the throne securely?

After pondering for long, King Yu made a gesture of invitation: "King Qin, please."

Dongfang Xinglan smiled slightly, riding into Guang'an City.

Inside Yu Mansion, the main hall.

Sitting on the main seat, Dongfang Yinghai looked at the skilled individuals gathering on both sides, and then touched the firearm hidden within his sleeve, feeling slightly reassured.

"Speak." King Yu looked at Dongfang Xinglan: "Were Prince Fen and the others truly killed by the Crown Prince?"

Dongfang Xinglan didn't answer immediately but retorted: "Does Uncle Wang have no intention of raising troops with his fifty thousand soldiers?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"What is fifty thousand worth?" King Yu cursed: "It's barely enough to fill the teeth gaps of the three major camps stationed in the Southern region.

Moreover, since the founding of our Dongfang Clan, there's never been a precedent of a collateral branch inheriting the throne; it might be the will of God or perhaps the arrangement of the Observatory..."

Dongfang Yinghai leaned back in his chair: "The throne can only rest within the direct descendant line of your Great Ancestor, what can a collateral branch offer in competition?

If you speak of other Prince raising troops... They either are descendants tracing back to the direct line of the Great Ancestor, or possess millions of soldiers with lofty ambitions, or are wealthy beyond measure with more money than Shengjing..."

Dongfang Yinghai sighed lightly: "Rebellion has high costs and low returns, isn't my carefree life as a Prince better?"

"Indeed." Dongfang Xinglan nodded: "But soon you won't be a leisurely Prince anymore."

As the words fell, Dongfang Xinglan directly tossed a document over.

A eunuch standing behind King Yu immediately stepped forward to receive and carefully inspected it, before respectfully handing it over to King Yu.

King Yu took it, reading every word, his originally relaxed posture gradually sat up straight. After a moment, he intensely stared at Dongfang Xinglan: "Is this true?"

"Why do you think I killed Song Zhong, Dongfang Xingbai, Dongfang Xingshu, and the supervisor of the Observatory?" Dongfang Xinglan spoke unhurriedly: "If I weren't a bit stronger now, the Prince Qin Mansion would've ceased to exist."
