Lei Chen retreated a few steps in panic, his face filled with shock, unable to accept the truth.
"I was still feeling curious before, why His Majesty would intentionally send Jun Xie away when I came here. But I have now thought it through. Throughout the entire Fire Country, besides him and the Empress Dowager, the only person who would recognize the Ring of Imperial Fire would be me. He was afraid that I would recognize the Ring of Imperial Fire on Jun Xie's hand and that was why he did that. "Wen Yu said.
"Then ….. You asked Jun Xie to leave because you were afraid ….." Lei Chen's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, the colour draining from his face.
Wen Yu nodded.
"The previous Emperor had once said, the person who holds the Ring of Imperial Fire, is the true ruler of the Fire Country. No matter when, no matter which generation of his descendants saw the person who holds the Ring of Imperial Fire, they would have to abdicate on their own, and return the throne to him."
The throne of the Fire Country, should not have been occupied by the current Emperor.
Because, the Emperor who had led the Fire Country to become the mightiest country in the world, had suddenly disappeared from the world in his prime. The younger brother of the Emperor at that time, who was the Lord of the Fire Country at that time, had sent troops everywhere to search for the missing Emperor, but after searching for a whole decade, they had not found anything.
A country could not be without a ruler for a single day and to prevent the Fire Country from falling into chaos, they had to elect a new ruler.
The Lord of the Fire Country had not left behind any sons or daughters, hence, the throne had been taken over by his younger brother.
The previous Lord of the Fire Country and the Emperor had been very close. They had been born from the same mother and the two brothers had been on good terms since young. Hence, after the new Emperor ascended the throne, the first decree he issued was regarding the succession of the throne.
He believed deeply that his Royal Brother had not died and he believed that his Royal Brother or his Royal Brother's descendants would return one day. Hence, he issued a decree, that as long as the person who holds the Ring of Imperial Fire appears in the Fire Country, no matter how long it had been, all his descendants who sat on the throne must immediately abdicate the throne, and elect the person who holds the Ring of Imperial Fire to become the new Emperor of the Fire Country!
And that decree had been passed down for close to a hundred years. The current Emperor was the grandson of that Emperor, and the Empress Dowager who was still alive and well was that Emperor's Empress …..
"But it's been a long time. Father shouldn't care about it anymore." Although Lei Chen had heard about this matter from the Empress Dowager since he was young, but because it had been a long time and the owner of the Ring of Imperial Fire had never appeared, he had forgotten about it. It was only when Wen Yu brought it up that he remembered it once again.
Wen Yu replied, "That's right, a long time has passed but Your Highness must not forget that the Empress Dowager is still holding down the fort in the Imperial Palace! Although the Empress Dowager had not interfered with the politics of the Imperial Court for a very long time, but the friendship between her and the First Emperor ran extremely deep. The First Emperor's dying wish would definitely be fulfilled by the Empress Dowager and the First Emperor would naturally not dare to make a move against the Empress Dowager. Hence, the First Emperor would definitely want to get rid of Jun Xie to prevent any future troubles, to ensure that the Fire Country's Emperor's throne does not change! "
There were only three people in the world who recognized the Ring of Imperial Fire, and the Empress Dowager was the shackle that forced the Emperor to obey the Supreme Emperor's decree.
As long as Jun Xie was still alive, the Emperor would feel that his seat on the throne would not be stable and he would definitely make a move. Wen Yu had been hinting for Jun Xie to leave because he hoped that Jun Xie would be able to avoid this calamity.
This time, it was no longer the Emperor who wanted to use Jun Xie to suppress the Crown Prince, but it was a killing intent that was directed straight at Jun Xie!
