The crown prince was distraught and filled with fear.
It was too terrifying.
Who knew when he would be decapitated with a single slash and lose his life …
Such a possibility had been thoroughly imprinted in the crown prince's mind, giving him the urge to cry out loud just thinking about it.
Indeed, facing the ambush of five top-notch assassins at any time, it was difficult to be safe even if he hired Ling Xiaozui and Gudu Chou as his bodyguards. No matter how good the bodyguards were, they could only protect him for a while, but could they protect him forever?
Yet, the enmity between the crown prince and Hen Bieli and the rest was irreconcilable!
The hundred thousand assassins were all dead, killed by the martial artists. However, His Highness the crown prince's final move was enough for the five top assassins to pin all their hatred on the crown prince!
Furthermore, it was deeply rooted.
The crown princess sighed, looking at the crown prince pitifully. He had long known that it was impossible, yet he still held on to his wild thoughts and refused to give in, struggling blindly on the brink of death. Now, all his escape routes had been completely cut off.
All his escape routes had been cut off as well. What else could he do?
Now that things had come to this, who could he blame?
"However, it's not like there's no way out of this situation." The crown princess sighed. "At this moment, there's still one person who can turn the situation around and save our lives."
His Highness perked up upon hearing that. "Who? Is it father? It's a pity that even father can't do anything to Hen Bieli and the rest! "
The crown princess said slowly, "I'm not talking about father, but Yun Yang, Young Master Yun."
The crown princess's words were earth-shattering. His Highness was stunned and speechless for a moment.
…
"His Highness the crown prince has come to visit?" Yun Yang looked at Lao Mei, the corners of his eyes and brows filled with surprise.
"Yes."
"Invite him in." A meaningful smile hung on the corners of Yun Yang's lips.
The arrival of the visitor was unexpected, but how could it not be reasonable when one thought about it?
Yun Xiaoyao looked at Yun Yang, his lips moving before he finally sighed and said, "You handle it. I have to excuse myself."
What if His Highness the crown prince hugged his thigh and begged for mercy? What should he do? No matter what, he was still the crown prince's uncle, his blood relative …
Although there is a saying that people need face and trees need bark, isn't it true that a person's conscience is also a sense of shame? Why can't they do it?
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "Very well, you may go ahead."
He said leisurely, "I have a lot of experience in dealing with this guy."
…
"You only want to live?" Yun Yang looked at His Highness the crown prince in front of him.
His Highness the crown prince of Yutang was like a rooster that had completely lost its fight, completely devoid of spirit.
"Yes."
The Crown Prince's eyes were lifeless, and he was emaciated. Only two nights had passed, but the Crown Prince, who was originally as handsome as jade, suddenly seemed to have aged thirty to fifty years. Even the hair on his temples had turned white.
The goal that he had fought for half of his life, he had thought that it was close at hand and within his reach, but in a single night, it disappeared without a trace.
His Highness the crown prince had never been one with a strong will to begin with. Naturally, he could not bear such a heavy blow. If it were not for Yun Yang's life-saving straw, he would have either committed suicide in a few more days or he would have gone mad from depression to insanity!
"Live …" Yun Yang mused.
The crown prince said, "I've written the memorial, requesting to be demoted to the position of crown prince. I've even found excuses for myself – no talent, no virtue, no character, no looks, no morals, no morals, no morals, no morals, no morals, rebelling against the superiors, bullying men and women, a man's unmentionable illness … "
His Highness the crown prince was really going all out, even using the excuse of a man's unmentionable illness. His sincerity was overwhelming!
However, he had to do it.
The emperor had already agreed that the martial world's conflict would take place in the east of the city, but he had ordered to intervene. Although the truth was that he had been framed, the crown prince knew that he could not escape from it.
With so many people working together, the Board of Military and the government had already joined hands, even if it was black, it had to be white!
There was no need for any evidence, nor was there any hope of turning the tables.
The crown prince's expression was blank. "I only hope that Young Master Yun can save my life. Everything else is inconsequential."
Yun Yang said faintly, "I've seen Your Highness' sincerity, but there's one more charge that you haven't mentioned. This alone is insufficient sincerity."
His Highness the crown prince lifted his head abruptly. "What charge? What charge? I'll just admit to it! "
"Why didn't you mention a word about the murder of the Nine Supremes? Even if you've listed a thousand charges, how can you talk about sincerity if you don't mention this? "Yun Yang's gaze was like lightning, his words sharp as a sword.
His Highness the crown prince felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing his words. He felt dizzy and his mouth was agape, unable to speak for a moment. He looked at Yun Yang in horror, his face pale.
Yun Yang's cold gaze met the crown prince's and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm trying to trick you. The murder of the Nine Supremes has been investigated by many parties and there's a conclusion to it. However, you're connected to every single party."
"Although you've been used by the various forces throughout the entire process, ultimately becoming a passive puppet who has been deceived by the Four Seasons Tower, who thinks highly of himself, who thinks that he's in control of the entire situation … You think that you're the one in charge of the battle at Tianxuan Mountain, but in fact, every step of your plan has been pushed by others, intentionally or unintentionally … However, you've still done this. Your malice towards the Nine Supremes is real, it's not fake at all."
"I …" The crown prince's face was as white as a sheet, his gaze filled with panic.
"I only have one question for you. Why did you plot against the Nine Supremes? What's the reason? "Yun Yang asked in a low voice.
"You are the heir to the throne. No matter how powerful the Nine Supremes are, no matter how reputable they are, the empire they conquer will ultimately belong to you. It can be said that they are conquering the empire for you." Yun Yang asked in confusion, "Why do you want to destroy your own empire? Give me a reason! "
This was what Yun Yang was most confused about.
The Four Seasons Tower's motive for plotting against the Nine Supremes was obvious.
However, the crown prince's plotting against the Nine Supremes had almost dragged his own country into a swamp and was on the brink of annihilation. This was inexplicable and confusing!
The crown prince hung his head low. After a long time, he said hoarsely, "I … I saw big brother during the New Year that year … I …"
Yun Yang frowned.
The crown prince covered his entire face.
"Back then, father had already spread the news a few years ago that big brother had died of a sudden illness … but I saw big brother, alive and well, outside father's royal study …"
"I was stunned then, stunned for a long time …"
"That night, Imperial Father was dead drunk. He looked at me, his eyes filled with reluctance and unwillingness … He only said one sentence before he was completely drunk and unconscious."
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath. "What did His Majesty say?"
