"I, can I go to the Demon Realm with you?”Ming Cheya suppressed her anger towards the demon world and asked nervously.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's eyes slowly widened, and the corners of his lips curled up. After a while, he seemed to have regained his senses and laughed out loud. He reached out and hugged Ming Cheya in his arms, whispering in her ear,""Of course,"
The warm breath beside her ear made Ming Cheya turn her head in discomfort. At the same time, her heart started beating faster and faster.
Just as the Imperial Residence of King Jing was as quiet and peaceful as usual, the atmosphere in the Palace Hall of Diligent Affairs of the Imperial Palace was extremely tense.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Xin saw that the Emperor's face immediately darkened after reading the secret letter sent back by the spies from Jinzhou, so he carefully shouted.
Chen Ke didn't reply. She just tightened her grip on the letter. After a while, the originally intact paper was damaged.
King Li actually dared to ignore his order to guard Jinzhou and return to the palace without an imperial edict. Was he trying to rebel?
Chen Ke's eyes darkened and she said in a deep voice,""Jiang Xin."
"This servant is here."
"Send spies to Yuzhou to check on the movements of the Ming King?”
"Yes." Jiang Xin replied respectfully and left to do his work.
After Jiang Xin left, Chen Ke was the only one left in the huge Hall of Diligent Government. At this moment, he was looking at something with a heavy gaze, but the storm in his eyes was frightening.
"Find out who King Li and King Ming have been in contact with recently.”Chen Ke suddenly opened her mouth as if she was talking to air.
"Yes." A cold voice sounded. A man wearing a black shirt and a half-mask suddenly appeared in the Hall of Diligent Government. He bowed to Chen Ke and left the hall in a flash.
It better not be what he thought. Chen Ke looked into the distance and sighed silently in his heart. He didn't want another fight between brothers.
At this point, he had to talk about the situation of the imperial family of the Xingchen Kingdom. When the former emperor was still in power, he only had five sons and no princess. These sons were the First Prince, Chen Yuan, the Second Prince, Chen Ke, the Third Prince, Chen Jin, the Fourth Prince, Chen Yuan, and the Fifth Prince, Chen Ming.
Among them, the eldest prince, Chen Yuan, was the child of Imperial Consort Wei. He was the first to be born, and at that time, the Wei family held great power in the court, so many officials in the court wanted him to inherit the throne. However, the late Emperor never agreed to let Chen Yuan be the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince remained empty until Empress Li Hui gave birth to Chen Yuan.
The late Emperor doted on Chen Yuan. Because of his intelligence and because he looked very similar to him when he was young, even his personality was very different. Therefore, the late Emperor had the idea of making Chen Yuan the Crown Prince.
However, the Wei family had been pressuring the late Emperor to give up on this decision and make the First Prince Chen Yuan the Crown Prince. However, how could the late emperor, who had been in power for decades, agree? Thus, the two factions were in a stalemate. Both sides were also secretly cultivating their own forces and people in order to destroy each other one day in the future and seize power.
Thus, in the year 756 of the Xingchen Kingdom, the Wei family launched a rebellion. They manipulated the ministers and soldiers under their control to force the abdication. The former emperor was also a shrewd person and had put on a show of " inviting a wolf into the house " with them. However, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The Wei family, which was full of confidence, was beaten down by the former emperor, who had long been prepared.
The First Prince, Chen Yuan, who had organized this rebellion, was also killed on the spot by Chen Ke. That night, the late Emperor was seriously injured and did not have long to live. He called Chen Yuan to his bedside and wanted him to inherit the throne, but he refused.
Seeing that Chenyuan was determined not to be the emperor, the former emperor had no choice but to settle for Chenke, the son who looked serious but made people feel at ease.
Thus, the previous emperor passed away the next day. On the first day after Chen Ke ascended the throne, she sent the Third Prince Chen Jin and the Fifth Prince Chen Ming, who had participated in the rebellion, to the barren lands of Jin and Yu, which were thousands of miles apart.
During the eight years that Chen Ke had been the Emperor, the two of them had remained there without doing anything. However, Chen Jin did not return rashly this time. This action made Chen Ke want to kill him.
At this moment, on the boardwalk from Jin City to Jade Mian, a gorgeous carriage was being driven by a servant. Beside the driver sat a middle-aged man with a sword in his hand.
"Where are we now?" A lazy voice came from the carriage, asking the people outside.
"Luzhou, we will reach Jade Mian in three days.”Wei Zhou replied respectfully.
The person in the carriage did not say anything else, and the group of people immediately became as quiet as usual. Only the sound of the carriage's wheels rolling across the road could be heard. At this moment, a slender and strong pair of hands pushed open the curtains of the carriage window, revealing his somewhat androgynous face.
He had a pair of long, narrow, and seductive red phoenix eyes that were embedded in his somewhat pale cheeks, giving off a sickly feeling that was close to being "weak." However, as long as one looked carefully, one would discover the monstrous desire hidden in his eyes. It was the madness of wanting to obtain the highest position in the human world.
At this moment, he curled his thin lips and narrowed his eyes to feel the breeze. The insanity that could not be hidden almost overflowed from his eyes, adding a hint of ruthlessness to his originally beautiful face.
Yu Mian had finally returned. Chenke, it's time for you to hand over the throne.
All of a sudden, a white paper crane appeared beside the carriage. Chen Jin's eyes lit up. He extended his hand and the paper crane landed steadily in his palm.
Chen Jin slowly opened the paper crane and saw the words "Three days later" written on it, causing the corners of his mouth to gradually curl up. In the end, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart and even began to laugh out loud.
"Guard Wei, what is this?" Xiao Li, who was about to ask, immediately shut up when he saw Wei Zhou's warning gaze. At the same time, he pursed his lips in his heart. Guard Wei looked so terrifying! But the prince who had been laughing for no reason was even more terrifying!
At the same time, in the mansion of Abyss Ming, the capital of the Demon Realm.
In recent days, the servants in the Ming residence felt that the residence had become more and more strange, because not only could they not see the master of the residence, Ming Daren, and his childhood sweetheart, Xue Haoming, who came to the residence to play as usual, but the servants in the residence had also been decreasing in recent days for some reason.
Although the butler told them that it was because those people had been fired and left, they did not see the servants packing their luggage and leaving! Every night, they would sometimes hear some mournful and tragic cries. The sound was so terrifying that they did not dare to go out at night again.
All of this made the people who stayed behind feel uneasy, not knowing what was going on. Some people could not help but take the initiative to fire the butler and say that they wanted to go home. However, to their surprise, those people were beheaded by the butler on the spot. This made everyone tremble in the courtyard, not daring to make a sound.
"Without my permission, none of you are to leave this mansion.”The butler of the Ming mansion, Jiang Wen, had a murderous look in his eyes as he threatened the few remaining servants in the mansion." Remember this. If any of you dare to run away without permission, then don't blame me for being ruthless and taking action against your wives and children.”
In an instant, some of the young maids in the courtyard could not stand the fear and began to cry softly. This situation caused Jiang Wen to reveal an extremely happy smile.
This made the servants who saw it tremble again, and they were even more afraid. At this moment, they were sure that this mansion, which had been hiding many secrets for a long time, was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Moreover, this mansion was carrying out a shocking conspiracy that they did not want outsiders to know about.
However, at this moment, these servants could only cry for help in despair, hoping that someone would come and save them from the fire and water.
Jiang Wen turned around and slowly disappeared from the courtyard with a contemptuous and bloodthirsty smile on his face. When they succeeded, he would definitely kill all these lowly servants who were originally meant to be used as blood sacrifices so that they would not dirty his eyes like they did now.
After walking down the corridor, Jiang Wen pushed open the door to the secret chamber. Under the illumination of the candlelight, he slowly walked toward his destination deep underground.
After a while, Jiang Wen came to the door of a room that was about ten meters tall. He stretched out his right hand and pushed open the stone door as easily as he pushed open his own door. A ray of light shot over, causing Jiang Wen to lose his focus for a moment. He had no choice but to close his eyes and raise his arm to block the dazzling light. However, after a while, Jiang Wen opened his eyes again and saw the bustling scene in the secret chamber.
The secret chamber was spacious enough to hold about two to three hundred people. In the middle of it, a large circular stone slab with complex patterns carved on it was suspended in the air. It could accommodate seven to eight people. The smell of blood permeated the entire secret chamber.
This was because a group of people with their limbs tied up and their throats slit were hanging around the round stone slab. Their faces were filled with fear. Their blood flowed down their faces and dripped into the originally empty grooves on the floor, and those grooves connected to each other to form the same patterns as the circular stone slab.
These people were the servants who had disappeared for no reason today.
Jiang Wen sniffed the alluring scent of the fresh blood in a somewhat infatuated manner. His entire body began to tremble in excitement, making him unable to control the urge to take out his weapon and slaughter.
"Jiang Wen." Elder Yan Yan, who was busy with matters at the side, felt the intense killing intent that Jiang Wen was gushing out. He turned around and shouted sternly.
Jiang Wen's eyes were red and his face was ferocious. From afar, he looked like an ancient demon, making people feel fear and palpitations.
"Elder Yan." Jiang Wen narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers continuously. He greeted excitedly," I can't help but want to break into the Demon Palace and kill everyone.”
After saying that, Jiang Wen couldn't help but lick his lips with his long tongue, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
