Chapter 1565: 1565: This Could Be Very Big

“Eldest Brother, it seems we’re dealing with people from two separate factions.”

The matter was primarily handled by Xia Junfeng. As he looked at the captured individuals and thought of the destroyed poisons, his brows were still tightly knit, showing no sign of relaxation.

They had arrested group after group and subjected them to severe interrogation, but the confessions obtained were always from those who had been caught.

Beyond the group summoned by the old emperor, there were truly no others.

“Our emperor must have put all his schemes into this,” he said grumpily.

“He can’t hold on any longer,” came the reply.

Eldest Brother Yan held a cup of tea in his hand, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

The guards watching the old emperor had passed messages several times now, indicating that the old emperor wished to see him.

However, Eldest Brother Yan did not think the old emperor had truly learned his lesson yet, so he kept delaying the visit. He thought he would wait until after tonight’s episode before going to see him.

“I will meet with him tonight,” he stated.

“Heh.”

Xia Junfeng chuckled lightly.

He too believed that the old emperor ought to learn a few more lessons. Watching him suffer, well, it actually pleased him greatly.

“Eldest Brother, when do you plan to ascend to the throne?” he asked.

“The time is not right yet,” said Eldest Brother Yan, lifting his hand to pinch his brows.

Although he essentially had a firm grip on Daqing Kingdom’s forces, he had only recently taken control. He was not yet familiar with the generals, and he needed to develop a rapport with them first.

If he were to ascend now, unforeseen problems might still arise.

“Not the right time?”

Xia Junfeng didn’t understand. If now wasn’t the right time, then when would be?

“Eldest Brother, I don’t mean to overstep, but as long as you don’t ascend, the old emperor will continue to cause trouble day by day. The common people will not be at peace. Besides, don’t you see that you are the choice of the people?”

“This matter will have to wait until I’ve discussed it with Qian Jiyun,” said Eldest Brother Yan.

Xia Junfeng:

Deciding to take the throne should be up to Eldest Brother alone, what was there to consult with Brother Two about?

He felt that if Eldest Brother Yan went to discuss it with Brother Two, he would likely only get one response: “Do as you see fit, and let me know once you’ve picked a date!”

“Ahem, ahem ahem.”

He coughed lightly, feeling that this was very likely indeed.

Prince Zhanyun’s residence.

Elder Ding Nuo hurried over and found Qian Jiyun in the Qiongzhi Courtyard.

“What has happened? An Jiuyue is in the middle of medicine refinement,” Qian Jiyun said.

Elder Ding Nuo had initially intended to see An Jiuyue, but since she was at a critical moment in her medicine refinement, he had been instructed to come here instead.

“Prince, Prince De is dead,” Elder Ding Nuo said with a grim expression.

He wasn’t supposed to come here, but the urgency of the situation meant he could not consider propriety, and he had to bring the news to him.

Qian Jiyun was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such news.

“How did he die?” he inquired.

He believed the people of the 18 stockaded villages at the border wouldn’t be so reckless as to kill without orders.

Furthermore, Prince De was of no importance to them.

“According to the information received, it seems Prince De tried to fake his own death to escape from the stockaded village. Unfortunately, Jian Xun went too far and killed him outright. By the time the people in the village realized and tried to save him, it was already too late,” was the response.
