You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 80 Ye Xingchen's Death, Ying Feng's Informant



Chapter 80 Ye Xingchen's Death, Ying Feng's Informant

But Lu Bing, who was standing to the side, had already drawn the Embroidered Spring Knife from his waist.

He swiftly brought the knife down, slicing it across Ye Xingchen's neck.

Ye Xingchen's eyes widened, and he tightly covered his neck with both hands, but blood still flowed out between his fingers, and blood kept gushing from his mouth, and more and more of it.

His pupils began to dilate, and soon he collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then fell silent.

"Have someone handle this, let's go!"

Ying Chen glanced at Ye Xingchen lying on the ground and said indifferently.

Then, he turned and left.

The moment he turned around, a streak of dark light shot out from Ye Xingchen's body and rushed straight towards Ying Chen.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Lu Bing's divine sense had been locked on Ying Chen's surroundings, and the moment the dark light appeared, Lu Bing detected his presence.

He spoke up to remind Ying Chen, and then his palm unleashed a suction force that pulled the dark light towards him.

"No, impossible. You were only at the Nascent Soul stage before, how could you have broken through to the Void Refinement stage?"

An incredulous voice emanated from within the dark light.

"Who are you, and why are you inside this child's body?"

The dark light that Lu Bing had caught slowly transformed into a human figure, which was none other than Elder Mu within Ye Xingchen's body.

Ying Chen looked at the divine sense with a strange expression, wondering why this scene felt somewhat familiar.

Born into an extraordinary family, a child prodigy, with a family that was once glorious, and his grandfather resides within him!

With all these things combined, wouldn't that make him a true chosen one of destiny?

Ying Chen's gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Xingchen, who was lying on the ground and had already gone cold.

Strange, he remembered reading novels in his previous life that those chosen ones of destiny were very difficult to kill!

Why was Ye Xingchen killed so easily?

Could it be that he faked his death?

Thinking about this, Ying Chen felt that it wasn't impossible.

He moved lightly to Ye Xingchen's body, clasped his hands together, and channeled his spiritual energy into Ye Xingchen's body, carefully searching for any unusual phenomena.

However, after some investigation, no special findings were made.

This is just an ordinary, unremarkable corpse!

Am I really being too cautious and overthinking things?

To ensure everything went perfectly, Yingchen decided to take some more thorough measures.

Without hesitation, he swung his palm, slamming it into Ye Xingchen's corpse.

"Boom~~"

With a loud bang, Ye Xingchen's body instantly turned into countless ashes and scattered. Ying Chen gently waved his sleeve, and these ashes also disappeared into the world.

"Phew! I can finally feel a little more at ease!"

Ying Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and looked at the spirit in Lu Bing's hand.

At this moment, Elder Mu's spirit body had become extremely ethereal, like a candle flickering in the wind, seemingly about to vanish into thin air at any moment.

"you......"

When Elder Mu saw that Ying Chen had turned Ye Xingchen's corpse into ashes, his eyes widened in anger, and he glared at Ying Chen with a sinister look.

"I really dislike the way you look at me..."

Ying Chen said in a deep voice.

"Use soul searching on it..."

The last sentence was addressed to Lu Bing.

"Here!"

"No, you can't do that!"

Elder Mu's expression turned terrified. In his current state, he simply couldn't withstand the soul search. Once his soul was searched, he would surely be annihilated.

However, Ying Chen ignored him and turned to leave.

Only Lu Bing and Elder Mu's consciousness remained in place.

Old Mu looked at Lu Bing in horror, wanting to resist, but Lu Bing controlled him, and he had no ability to resist at all.

A cruel smile appeared on Lu Bing's face. He held Old Mu down with one hand and reached for Old Mu's head with the other.

"what!"

A moment later, a series of ghostly wails echoed from the cell once again.

After leaving the prison, Ying Chen returned to the palace.

Cao Zhengchun was waiting outside the Imperial Study at this time.

Upon seeing Ying Chen return, he quickly jogged over to greet him.

"His Majesty!"

"Why are you so panicked?"

Ying Chen glanced at him and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan requests an audience!"

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

"King Yan?"

The title of Prince Yan is the title of the fifth prince, Ying Feng.

"What is he here for?"

Ying Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Send him to the Imperial Study to see me!"

Ying Chen said to Cao Zhengchun.

"Here!"

After saying that, Cao Zhengchun left.

Ying Chen also returned to the Imperial Study to wait.

A short while later, Cao Zhengchun brought in Prince Yan, Ying Feng.

"I see your Majesty!"

Ying Feng bowed respectfully to Ying Chen and said.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. May I ask what brings you here to see me?"

Ying Chen waved his hand and said.

"this......"

Ying Feng hesitated for a moment before glancing at Cao Zhengchun behind Ying Chen.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this is my trusted confidant. You can speak with complete confidence..."

Ying Chen noticed Ying Feng's concerns and said with a smile.

"Then, I shall speak!"

Seeing that Ying Chen had said this, Ying Feng didn't say anything more.

"Your Majesty, I must accuse the King of Wei and the King of Qi of colluding with foreign enemies and plotting a rebellion!"

Ying Feng made a surprising statement.

Ying Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Ying Feng as if trying to see through him.

"Oh? Do you have any evidence?"

Ying Chen already knew about this matter, and Ying Feng was also present at the time. But now Ying Feng actually came to him to inform on it, which made him a little confused about what he was trying to do!

"I naturally have evidence!"

As Ying Feng spoke, he took out a recording stone from his storage ring.

Cao Zhengchun jogged over to Ying Feng's side, took the memory stone, and handed it to Ying Chen.

Ying Chen took the recording stone, infused it with spiritual power, and an image was projected from it.

This is exactly what happened at the Prince of Wei's residence.

Ying Chen turned off the recording stone, looked at Ying Feng, and said, "Judging from the angle of the recording stone, the person who took the picture is also in this secret room. Besides the three of them, you are the only one qualified to enter!"

"Tell me, why did you betray me? Aren't you and Ying Xiao brothers?"

A struggle flashed in Ying Feng's eyes, as if he was weighing whether or not to tell the truth.

He has no way back now. Ever since he decided to come find Ying Chen, his escape route has been cut off. He can only go down this path to the bitter end.

"I refuse to accept this! Why should Ying Xiao be the crown prince...?"

"Why should he be allowed to marry Wan'er...?"

"Why does he get to boss me around like that...?"

"Why should he get what I want just because I want it...?"

"Why does my mother favor him more while ignoring me completely...?"

Ying Feng's expression gradually became frantic as he continued to question people.

Ying Chen looked at him with a calm expression.

After a moment, Ying Feng gradually regained his composure and realized his lapse in composure. He said to Ying Chen, "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Ying Chen shook his head.

He's a pitiful person too!

Both Ying Xiao and he were born of the Empress, but because Ying Xiao existed before him...

Therefore, he was not so important in the Empress's eyes; she only saw him as a helper for Ying Xiao...

It was merely to help him solidify his position as crown prince.

From childhood to adulthood, Ying Feng always yielded to Ying Xiao. No matter what it was, if Ying Xiao took a liking to it, he would give it to Ying Xiao no matter how reluctant he was...

They were born of the same mother, but their treatment was vastly different.

Having been oppressed by Ying Xiao for so long, he gradually developed resentment towards Ying Xiao and wanted to take revenge on him, but he just hadn't had the chance before!

However, the fact that Ying Xiao had asked him to meet with Ying Heng and the people of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty made him realize that an opportunity had come.

Therefore, he secretly prepared a recording stone to document the scene.

That's why we're in this situation today.
