2292 The Heart to Contend
“You! You!” Mister Zhuang pointed at Ming Asi with a trembling finger. “You people! How can you treat deposing the crown prince and appointing another as such a trifling matter!!”
Once the Divine Province and the Ultramarine Province heard of it, wouldn’t the two sovereigns laugh their heads off?!
Ming Asi curled his lips and snickered at Mister Zhuang and Ming Lung. “It is just a trifling matter.
“Deposed crown prince, I advise that you recuperate in Chengyuan Palace. Don’t go running about randomly.
“Otherwise, you might not even know how you die.”
!!
Crown Prince Ming Lung sat limply on the floor, his soul having left him.
Imperial Father, he… in the afternoon, had only been asking his opinion: ‘Ming Lung, you aren’t suited for the position of crown prince. What do you think about abdicating to your third brother?’
He did not expect for him, for him to issue the edict to depose the crown prince after just four hours!
Crown Prince Ming Lung’s sight was blurred, and he could no longer hear his wife Su Fu’s cries.
He felt his eyes turn sticky. He seemed to be unable to see clearly at all.
He could indistinctly hear people scream, “Quickly call for an imperial physician, find an imperial physician! His Highness the Crown Prince’s eyes are bleeding!”
“It’s only deposing the crown prince. No need to be so agitated.” Ahon laughed with his hands on his waist. “Someone, go find a doctor to examine this deposed crown prince’s condition. Don’t die on us now.”
“I don’t want my eldest brother and sister-in-law to die on the day that I assume the position of crown prince.” Ming Asi glanced coldly at the deposed crown prince and his wife. His gaze then landed on Mister Zhuang.
“Eldest Brother, what should we do with this old geezer?”
“Kill him.” Ming Asi sneered and turned around, walking out of the palace.
He couldn’t let the old geezer continue to strategize for the deposed crown prince.
Without this old man, the deposed crown prince would never have the chance to rise up again with the extent of his intelligence.
A cold light flitted across Asi’s eyes. He flicked his sleeve and walked out of the palace. He looked up at the outline of the palace buildings in the bright but cold moonlight.
Eldest Brother, don’t blame me for being ruthless.
I did not want to contend with you.
However, I am determined to have the position of crown prince!
If he didn’t have a comparable position and status, if he didn’t have the connections, resources, and power!
How could he contend with that person?
Crown Prince Lian of the Divine Province, are you ready for my move?
As long as he became the crown prince of the Nether Province, he would definitely get what he wanted.
“Ah-choo~” Qiao Mu drew her furry cape more tightly around herself. She grasped her gold-beaded talisman pen and continued drawing talismans on the fire phoenix’s back.
The journey truly was rather boring.
After departing from Anyi Prefecture, Qiao Mu had summoned the ancient fire phoenix to take them to Shuntian Prefecture faster.
With this big fellow exuding a horrifying pressure the entire way, they didn’t have to worry about any flying spiritual beasts blindly crashing into them.
During the first two days, Zou Huan and them had vomited even their bile…
They were now feeling better, but their pale complexions were quite pitiable.
Qiao Mu did not find the little fire phoenix’s flight turbulent at all. She thought the flight was quite steady, so she didn’t understand why Zou Huan and them kept saying with trepidation that the ride was bumpy.
The little phoenix was probably giving them a lesson.
He might be miffed that he also had to carry eight other men?
“Eh? Fiery, quickly descend!” The Thunder Plains were right below them.
She wanted to go sit on a terrestrial whale again.
“Blech!—” After stepping on solid ground, Zou Huan swayed forward with teetering steps. He then squatted down and started vomiting.
