The Eternal Emperor's face was livid as he read the letters handed to him by the Eldest Prince, Eldest Princess, and Second Princess.
This was a private letter between Ling Yan and General Wu Hu, and the contents of the letter were treacherous and unforgivable.
The Eternal Emperor studied the letter repeatedly. The seal on the letter was indeed General Wu Hu's, and Ling Yan's handwriting matched it very well.
Currently, Ling Yan's faction was at the peak of its power …
"Summon the Crown Prince!"
Within the imperial court, the Eternal Emperor was enraged.
Half a day later, Ling Yan arrived at the court.
The Eternal Emperor threw the letter harshly at Ling Yan's face. "See for yourself!"
Ling Yan opened the letter and studied it for a moment.
"Ling Yan, what explanation do you have!" The Eternal Emperor stared at Ling Yan and shouted angrily.
"Father, please calm down." Ling Yan looked at the Eternal Emperor, and the corners of his lips curled up into an inexplicable smile. "I think that these letters might be forged."
"Oh?" The Eternal Emperor scoffed. "Since that's the case, I'll give you three days. Investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"I'll take my leave."
Ling Yan turned and left.
"Father, you … you really believe that those letters are forged?" The Eldest Prince saw that the situation was not good and immediately asked.
Even they could not tell the authenticity of those letters. How could it be possible just based on a few words from Ling Yan …
The Eternal Emperor looked at the Eldest Prince and Second Princess and said, "Keep an eye on Ling Yan. Kill him without mercy if he has any ill intentions!"
The Eldest Prince's face lit up when he heard the Eternal Emperor's words. He hurriedly cupped his fists. "Don't worry, Father. I will not fail you!"
With that, the Eldest Prince, Second Princess, and the rest turned to leave.
At that moment, the Eldest Prince and Second Princess were secretly delighted. That Elder Ye from the Temple of Shadows had really come up with a good plan!
Since Father wanted them to keep an eye on Ling Yan … wouldn't it be up to them to decide if Ling Yan had any intention of rebelling?!
"Gather everyone … and surround Ling Yan!"
The Second Prince's expression was grim as he spoke coldly.
"Kill Ling Yan in the Imperial City. If Father asks, say that Ling Yan is preparing to rebel …" The Second Princess's lips curled up slightly.
There was no need for the Advisor and the Temple of Shadows to kill Ling Yan this time … They could easily accomplish it themselves.
A moment later, the two generals led hundreds of Black Armored Monarchs to surround the city gate.
"He's here …"
The Eldest Princess's gaze landed on Ling Yan, who was walking alone.
"Royal Brother and Royal Sister, what are you doing?" Ling Yan arrived at the city gates and looked at the Eldest Prince and Second Princess in surprise.
"Hmph!"
Immediately, the Eldest Prince scoffed. "Ling Yan, you deceived the Emperor and rebelled. You attempted to kill the Emperor and usurp the throne. Do you plead guilty?!"
"What …" Ling Yan frowned slightly.
"Heh … Third Royal Brother, there is irrefutable evidence of your correspondence with the traitors. It's not up to you to deny it." Second Princess sneered and looked at the Hei Family Army behind her: "Kill!"
"Wait." At that moment, Ling Yan smiled and spoke softly.
"Why? Do you regret it now?" The Eldest Princess's expression was disdainful. "Since you dare to rebel, you should be prepared to be beheaded."
"Royal Sister is right." Ling Yan nodded. "However … Royal Brother did not deny his crimes."
The Eldest Prince, Second Princess, and the rest were taken aback by Ling Yan's words. What did Ling Yan mean?
