At night, Mu Yunge lay in Yan Fei’s arms.
“Xiao Xi, who do you think is most likely to ascend the throne?”
Hearing this, Yan Fei gently massaged her delicate skin as he replied, “Undoubtedly the Fourth Prince.”
“Oh? Why are you so sure?” Mu Yunge asked.
“The Fourth Prince is the most capable of all the princes in terms of both character and methods. Moreover, he now has military power. He has been good at disguising himself since he was a child. He has probably been coveting the throne for a long time, but no one has seen through it.” Yan Fei said calmly.
Hearing this, Mu Yunge couldn’t help but laugh.
Hearing her laughter, Yan Fei rolled over and pinned her beneath him, his long, slender, white hands slowly exploring her lower body.
At first, he felt inferior, believing he couldn’t give her that kind of feeling, but his princess was so understanding, gentle, and considerate, willing to lower herself and let him slowly try other methods.
What merit did Yan Fei possess to deserve such wholehearted love from the Princess?
Glancing tenderly at Mu Yunge’s slightly parted lips, Yan Fei lowered his head and kissed her, the tight, smooth, warm touch on his fingertips.
…
Six months later, the Emperor was completely bedridden.
Several princes kept watch in the palace all night, waiting for the old Emperor to die so they could fight tooth and nail for the throne!
Meanwhile, several senior ministers were urging the Emperor to quickly appoint an heir.
However, the old Emperor was now too ill to even speak.
Zi Ling feigned weeping beside him, her heart filled with anxiety as to why the Fourth Prince had not yet returned.
In the latter half of the night, the Emperor passed away.
After Eunuch Xiao Fuzi uttered the first wail, the princes sprang into action.
That night, the palace was filled with a bloody storm.
In the end, the Fifth Prince killed two of his brothers, gaining the upper hand temporarily.
But just then, a series of powerful roars suddenly echoed from outside the palace: “Kill!”
Soon, a large number of armored soldiers, exuding fierce courage, stormed into the palace and took control of it in the shortest possible time.
Not long after, Zhou Hao, who had become increasingly imposing and tall after his training in the army, walked step by step into the palace.
Upon seeing Zhou Hao, Zi Ling’s eyes were involuntarily fixed on him.
The Fourth Prince, indeed, was the ultimate winner!
Soon, Zi Ling stood up and said, “When the Emperor was on his deathbed, I was by his side the whole time. The Emperor said that his chosen prince had always been the Fourth Prince!”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao merely glanced coldly at Zi Ling and then calmly began to give orders to his subordinates.
The next day, news of the new Emperor’s ascension to the throne spread throughout the capital. The princes who had failed to seize the throne were either dead or wounded. The dead were posthumously honored by Zhou Hao, while the wounded were imprisoned.
…
After Zhou Hao ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to summon Mu Yunge to the palace.
However, upon seeing Mu Yunge, Zhou Hao’s eyes immediately filled with murderous intent as he looked at Yan Fei beside her.
The two of them pretended not to see it, but Mu Yunge looked directly at him and asked, “May I ask why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao stared at her and Yan Fei. Then he suddenly roared in fury, “You two are together?! Xiao Jiu’er, this dog servant touched you, didn’t he?! Did he?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hao drew his sword and was about to slash at Yan Fei.
Seeing this, Mu Yunge’s face turned cold: “Zhou Hao! What are you trying to do?! It was all my own choice! If you dare touch him, kill me first!”
