At this moment, Liu Xi’s expression changed slightly.

He looked at the Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, even if we were to send the news to Fragrant Ink City now, it would be too late. Even if General Yang Xuan were to speed up, it would probably be very difficult for him to arrive.

“Therefore, the only way to break out of this situation is up to Your Highness and the others.”

After the Emperor heard this, he nodded his head.

He knew that the Sima family was powerful and was not that easy to deal with.

Back then, he had married the Sima family’s daughter as the Crown Prince’s Consort just to balance out the situation in the Imperial Court.

But now, the Sima family’s power was growing. If it was not for the fact that the Sima family still had Ji Xuan, who had the hope of inheriting the throne, the Sima family would have long rebelled.

Back then, they had resisted the attack of the demi-humans.

It had caused great damage to the vitality of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.

This had also allowed the Sima family to gradually grow stronger.

The Emperor had always known that the Sima family had been conserving their strength, but he had no way to do anything about it.

This was because back then when the demi-humans had attacked, countless soldiers of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom had died in battle against the demi-humans.

With the power that the emperor now possessed, although they could gather their strength and destroy the Sima family.

However, if he really did that, the nearby kingdom and the demi-humans would most likely stare covetously at him and make a comeback.

At this moment, the Emperor let out a long sigh and said with some relief, “Forget it, let nature take its course!”

“This can also be considered as a test for that brat Ye Chen. Even if he becomes the Emperor, he will still have to face the Sima family. If he is unable to escape from the hands of the Sima family now, then after becoming the Emperor, I’m afraid that he will not be able to deal with the huge behemoth the Sima family.

Hence, this time, it was also a test for him.

If he was smart enough to escape from the pursuit and head toward the Imperial City, then it would be sufficient to prove that he was a great genius, and only then would our Eastern Imperial Kingdom have hope.

“If I have to use the power of the entire country to help him escape, then even if he inherits the throne, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to lead our Eastern Imperial Kingdom toward prosperity.”

“So, if he can escape, then he will be the next emperor of our Eastern Imperial Kingdom. If he can’t…I’m afraid that our Eastern Imperial Kingdom’s fate will be sealed.”

“Cough cough…”

At this moment, the Emperor coughed.

The handkerchief was covered in blood.

“Your Majesty, you…”

At this moment, the Emperor smiled in relief, “I’m afraid that I…don’t have much time left.”

“I don’t know if I can hold on until that brat Ye Chen arrives. If I can’t hold on, that brat Ji Xuan will definitely beat me to it,” the Emperor said.

“Right now, that brat Ji Xuan doesn’t dare to rebel because he still has hope. As long as he kills Ye Chen, or if I die before that brat Ye Chen arrives, then he will be able to officially become the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. So, he’s waiting.

“He does not want to become the Emperor bearing the name of murdering his father. So, he’s waiting for me to die.

“Hahaha…

“Ye Chen, can you, before I die, come to the Imperial Capital?” The Emperor continued.

“Your Majesty!” Eunuch Liu hurriedly said.

At this moment, the Emperor waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. You can leave. Keep an eye on Ye Chen’s movements at all times.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Eunuch Liu left the main hall.

…

On the carriage.

Ye Chen was strategizing and was full of confidence.

“Little junior brother, this move of yours seems to be alright. Many people have already revealed themselves and are ready to kill you!” Seventh Senior Sister Zhao Xiyao said.

On the way to Fragrant Ink City.

Ye Chen encountered a few more waves of a.s.sa.s.sins.

However, these a.s.sa.s.sins were all small fry.

They were sent by some ministers who did not want Ye Chen to succeed the throne, not by the Prince, Ji Xuan.

Ye Chen also did not believe that Ji Xuan would send these small fry to kill him.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “It seems that there are still many people who don’t want me to succeed the throne. Remember these people. After I succeed the throne, they will be eliminated.”

“However, Ji Xuan will definitely not let this go. He will definitely ambush you,” Zhao Xiyao said immediately.

When Ye Chen came, he also asked the Heavenly Demon Sect to inquire about Ji Xuan.

He knew that Ji Xuan’s mother was called Sima Xuelian, and his grandfather was called Sima Tianchi, the City Lord of Heavenly South City.

Moreover, Ye Chen also learned a piece of news.

That was, Sima Tianchi had been recruiting private soldiers all these years as if he wanted to rebel.

If it was not for the fact that Ji Xuan still had the hope of inheriting the throne, the Sima family would have long rebelled.

If they could inherit the throne, they would not rebel.

This was also the reason why they had been tolerating.

Ye Chen said indifferently, “They will definitely attack me in the Heavenly South City, and this time, it won’t be a small fight like the Heavenly Cloud City. They will definitely kill me.”

Zhao Xiyao said in surprise, “Then…then what should we do?”

“Should we take a detour?” Zhao Xiyao asked again.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Hehe…no need. Since they want to kill me, we will play along with their plan.

“Anyway, the Sima family will stay. After I inherit the throne, it will definitely be a disaster. Why don’t we get rid of the Sima family along the way?”

“Get rid of them?” Murong Qingxue and Zhao Xiyao looked at their junior brother in surprise.
