Chapter 465: 465 opponents

When he had a clear view of Qing Li, the blame in the eyes of the masked man deepened.

Long ago, when he was supposed to take action against Sikong Mo, he had been advised to delay as much as possible, which he did not mind at that time since he was also stringing Yunyun along. Therefore, he let Qing Li act as she pleased.

However, now that Yunyun had accepted him, Sikong Mo naturally no longer needed to be alive.

The Prince died, the useless member of the Rong Family also died, and now, all his opponents were gone.

Only if Sikong Mo also died completely could he and Yunyun truly be together.

He had not forgotten who had killed the member of the Rong Family back then, how young Sikong Mo had been, and how ruthless his methods were!

Now that his affair with Yunyun was a fact, how could he live peacefully if Sikong Mo was not dead?

It was a clear and sunny day.

Being demoted to commoner status due to the assassination of the War King and expelled from the Capital City, the second Prince was quietly thrown onto the main street without a sound.

The Imperial Guard tasked with protecting the Imperial City soon discovered this and brought him to the Imperial Palace.

Though the Emperor had ordered the demotion of the second Prince to commoner status, he was, after all, a son of the Emperor and could not be treated like ordinary people.

Once the second Prince was properly settled in the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Physician examined him and concluded, "The second Prince has numerous whip marks and various torture tools have left traces on his body. His life is hanging by a thread, and whether he can survive depends on if he can endure the next couple of days."

The Imperial Physician’s words were always ambiguous, but in reality, everyone knew this meant that the second Prince’s life was already marked by King Yama.

In the great hall, a stack of memorials was thrown onto the ground, causing the eunuchs below to kneel instantly, accompanied by the furious voice of the old Emperor, "Insolence, this is just too insolent!"

After a while, the old Emperor, gasping for breath, asked his attendant, "Tell me, did I give Sikong Mo too much power, thus enabling him to be so insolent?"

No matter how inadequate the second Prince was, he was still his son, a Prince of the Empire, decidedly different.

Yet Sikong Mo was so audacious to kidnap the second Prince in broad daylight and beat him so severely, then dumping him onto the street like trash, completely disregarding the dignity of the Emperor and that of Dongyue!

"Cough, cough, cough..." The old Emperor began to cough out of anger.

The old eunuch quickly got up from the ground and gently patted the Emperor’s back, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

"Sikong Mo acts recklessly and holds great power in his hands. No one in the court equals him, and with Nanchang causing trouble, how could I calm down!" exclaimed the old Emperor sorrowfully. "I see, as long as he is in the Capital City, this city cannot be at peace!"

So what if he is reckless?

Who else could Dongyue rely on but the War King in the battle against Nanchang?

"Although the War King’s temperament is a bit skewed, his loyalty to our Dongyue is still very reliable. Since Your Majesty does not wish to see the War King, why not let him leave the Capital City sooner?" advised the old eunuch.

This might indeed be a solution, thought the old Emperor.

"Issue a decree, have the Ministry of Revenue quickly allocate the Silver, and have him leave the Capital City. Without a summons, he shall not enter the city," ordered the Emperor.

It couldn’t really be blamed on him being heartless, it was just that this Capital City was like it was opposing Sikong Mo personally.

Sikong Mo had also visited when he was a child, arriving joyfully, but in the end, he parted ways with his mother in enmity, making him, the Emperor, troubled on both sides.

Even then, there were suspicions that the death of the old Lord Sikong in battle and the enmity with his mother, Sikong Mo, both involved his own meddling.
