“The Xian Prince turned against him?” The deputy general felt incredulous at first, then he recovered and no longer found it strange. He nodded and said, “That right. He's been lying low for so many years. Treason is nothing but an idea. But he really has some means, to achieve this without any warning."

“This is only the beginning.” After smas.h.i.+ng things and venting his emotions, Ying Sheng restrained himself and spoke in a cold voice, "Once he sits on the throne, our people will no longer be able to pa.s.s their days peacefully."

The deputy general frowned and said, “He is in the Capital. Even if he raises troops, how many real men can he pull together? Your Royal Highness doesn't need to be concerned over this. If Your Royal Highness really wants that position, we can send troops to take the throne and support your ascension within a year!" It was not the first time he had such an idea, and he didn't feel that it was a taboo topic at all. His wors.h.i.+pful gaze made it seem as though the person in front of them should not be just a mere Zhennan Prince who governed the south - he should be the Emperor who ruled over everything under the heavens.

Ying Sheng did not intend to correct his remarks. He could be certain that the root cause of his irritation was not the Xian Prince's ascendance to the throne. He did not care about who was in charge of the world - after all, in his eyes, there was nothing in the world he could not fight for and obtain as long as he wanted it. There must have been something in the news that bothered him, but he had simply ignored it the first time because it was too insignificant. ZG92lR

Ying Sheng attached great importance to his intuition. He wrinkled his brows and read the news over carefully twice before finally finding the point that he had consistently neglected.

The Emperor's whereabouts were unknown…

The Emperor…

… his whereabouts were unknown? uX43Wv

He carefully separated the words contained in this phrase, chewed them over slowly, and read them again and again until he finally confirmed that they had been affecting his nerves and making him anxious. After all these years battling throughout the Kingdom, this was the first time that Ying Sheng had been so affected by something. After reading this phrase, it seemed that his thoughts became rather distracted…

It was strange. He hadn't even seen that little Emperor before…

He had made a trip to the capital eight years ago when he had been awarded the t.i.tle of Zhennan Prince, but at that time the person who occupied the Dragon Throne had been the previous Emperor in his prime. He had been wary of him due to his influence, but at the same time had to bestow him with the t.i.tle of Zhennan Prince to appease him. Back then, Ying Sheng had been disdainful towards everything related to the Capital. After all, it was a place dedicated to sensual pleasures, far away from disasters and strife. They could not see the threats in front of them and indulged in extravagant lifestyles. Sooner or later, they would self-destruct for that very reason. This had also been why he was uninterested, and he had never returned since then.

Even when the Emperor suddenly collapsed and the little Emperor was pushed onto the stage, the Capital ravaged by turmoils both hidden and in the open; he simply looked on indifferently and waited for them to destroy each other from within. POIHR

According to the news his spies sent, the little Emperor was weak, incompetent, and had no opinions of his own. He could not—and had no interest in—interfering in political affairs. All he wanted was a stable life. How could this kind of person catch his attention…
