After leaving the mountaintop, the group didn’t walk for long before they heard a loud explosion and the ground shook.

Fortunately, they were in the cave. When the tremors subsided, everyone hugged a tree as they stood up.

As Li Xiaoran looked back at the black smoke rising in the distant sky, she immediately felt a lingering sense of fear.

“Husband, not only do those people want to trap you in the valley, but they also want to kill you!”

Luo Cheng’s expression became serious as he said, “That’s right! I’ve never underestimated the other party’s intentions, so I’ve always been prepared for the worst! It’s just that I never expected that in order to get rid of me, the other party would even use his people as bait! Xiaoran, if it weren’t for you, I’m afraid my buddies and I would have died there!”

Even if Luo Cheng didn’t say this, the others knew.

To be honest, this was the closest to death they had ever been in their lives.

It was because of Li Xiaoran’s help that everyone escaped death.

Speaking of which, they had to thank Li Xiaoran.

“By the way, my internal energy has been blocked. Why are you guys fine?” Third Master Xue thought of something and asked.

“That’s because we all took antidote pills before we came here!” Luo Cheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Uncle, I’ll detoxify you when we get back!” When Third Master Xue heard this, he was enlightened.

“No wonder you were so anxious previously. It turns out that you weren’t weakened at all!”

Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and said, “Let’s leave this dangerous place quickly! We have to rush back. I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen!”

The others restrained their expressions and their hearts sank.

Since someone dared to scheme against Luo Cheng, something big must have happened outside.

In fact, something big had really happened in the capital.

The emperor’s sons had actually joined forces to force him to abdicate the throne!

As the emperor looked at his sons standing in the imperial study, he sneered. “I only have one throne! There are so many of you, so who should I give it to?”

“Father, there’s no need to sow discord! I knew long ago that you wanted Luo Cheng to become the emperor! Unfortunately, Luo Cheng might already be dead!” The second prince walked forward and laughed maniacally.

The emperor’s pupils dilated, then his voice quivered as he asked,

“You attacked Luo Cheng?”

“There’s no need for me to do anything. Someone will get rid of him for me! Father, you’re really biased! Didn’t you hate Luo Cheng the most when we were young? You didn’t even pay any attention to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Are you so senile now that you actually want to pa.s.s the throne to such an undignified son?!” The second prince mocked.

When the emperor heard this, his face became filled with sadness.

He never expected his seventh son to be killed because of him.

“I really didn’t expect you guys to actually attack him! As expected, I didn’t misjudge you guys! If the nation fell into your hands, I’m afraid it won’t exist anymore!”

As soon as he said this, the other princes looked furious.

“Father, how are we inferior to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!” The fourth prince asked with hatred.

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly laughed.

“You guys came to force me to give up my throne today because you think I’m about to die, right?! It’s just that I never expected all of my sons to come to force me to give up my throne! Tell me! Who’s the mastermind who gave you guys the idea?”

“Father, what do you mean?” The Fifth Prince asked in confusion.

The emperor said with a bitter smile, “You’re my sons. How can I not Imow what you’re like? It’s impossible for you guys to do it so flawlessly. Originally, I was going to lure that person into a trap, but you guys caught me off guard!”

“I’m about to die, so can’t you guys give me a definite answer?” the emperor asked.

The princes looked at each other in silence.

“It seems that you guys are really stupid! You’ve become p.a.w.ns in other people’s hands. You guys will bear the infamy, but you won’t get anything. How stupid!” As the emperor spoke, he spat out blood,

When this mouthful of blood landed on the ground, it turned purple-black.

It was obvious that the emperor had been poisoned.

“Father, stop acting. Hurry up and announce the next imperial decree!” The second prince didn’t care that his father was poisoned. He only wanted to get the imperial decree and obtain the throne!

“What? You clearly said that you wanted me to sit on the throne!” At this moment, the fourth prince pierced the second prince’s body with his sword. “I knew you would go back on your word, so I was already on guard against you!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the fourth prince also felt an ice-cold sword piercing over from behind.

“No, that’s not right. You guys clearly said that you wanted me to be the emperor!” The Fifth Prince said with a ferocious expression.

The remaining three princes looked at each other warily.

“How did this happen? Could it be that the cooperation letter we received were all forged?!” The Ninth Prince finally came back to his senses and thought of something.

This time, the others were enlightened.

“But what I received was clearly your personal letter! It was sent by your trusted aide!” The eighth prince had a bad feeling.

As the emperor watched the scene in front of him, he said miserably, “Idiots, I told you guys long ago that you were being used!”

At this moment, there was the sound of fighting outside the imperial study. The other princes’ expressions changed.

“What’s going on? Why is there a fight outside?” The Fifth Prince shouted after pulling his sword out of the Fourth Prince’s body.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. A group of elite soldiers ran in and surrounded the entire imperial study.

The person walking in front was a very familiar person.

However, when they saw this person, everyone looked surprised.

“As expected, there was really someone scheming behind the scenes! It’s just that I never expected it to be you, Prince Fu!”

When Prince Fu heard this, he immediately laughed.

“My good brother, you naturally wouldn’t know! After all, I was always the first to agree with everything you did. You never expected me, a brother who supports you, to have ulterior motives!”

The emperor sighed when he heard Prince Fu’s words.

“Why? I’ve always treated you well!”
