Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The thin Chu Mingxuan appeared in the hall. The ministers greeted him, but they were wondering if Chu Mingxuan was seriously ill.

Why did it look like he only had bones left?

Emperor Ling Hui already had only a few children, so his position was in danger.

Emperor Ling Hui did not have a brother clan yet. Even if he wanted to choose an inheritor from the collateral relatives, there was nothing he could do.

“The emperor has arrived—”

The eunuch’s sharp voice sounded. Everyone gathered their thoughts and quickly knelt down.

“Long live the emperor!”

Emperor Ling Hui was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. The dignified and domineering handsome face of a mature man formed a sharp contrast with Chu Mingxuan. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝐦

Emperor Ling Hui sat at the head of the table. He was clearly the emperor, but there was no one beside him.

Even Noble Consort Ling, whom he doted on the most in the past, did not appear.

This inevitably made people suspect that the rumor that Noble Consort Ling had escaped from the palace and eloped with someone was true.

While everyone was having different thoughts, Chu Mingxuan stood up gracefully and raised his wine glass. “I wish Father a long life and peace every day in the year.”

Emperor Ling Hui raised his wine glass and glanced at Eunuch Li, who was pouring the wine. He laughed. “What a good saying. There’s always this day every year.”

When he met Emperor Ling Hui’s unfathomable eyes, Chu Mingxuan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had been discovered?

Emperor Ling Hui instantly finished the wine in one gulp before Chu Mingxuan could be relieved.

In a while, Emperor Ling Hui would die and he would be the emperor.

Chu Mingxuan could not help but be happy. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

His face was pale, but he saw Quan Jiuzhou smiling at him.

Chu Mingxuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

How could this be!?

“Clang—”

Emperor Ling Hui held his stomach and shouted, “Assassins!” The delicacies on the table were also swept to the ground.

Everyone was flustered and hurriedly shouted for the imperial physician. At the same time, guards rushed over from all directions. Everyone was on guard.

When they saw that Ming Xuan’s face was even paler than Emperor Ling Hui’s, they could not help but feel afraid.

The emperor and the only legitimate heir were dead, so who would inherit the throne?

The intense pain gradually spread to his limbs and bones. Chu Mingxuan did not want to die. He used all his strength to grab Quan Jiuzhou’s sleeve. “Save me! Uncle!”

Quan Jiuzhou’s usually indifferent gaze revealed a strong maliciousness. “Everyone from your Chu family deserves to die!”

Chu Mingxuan widened his eyes in disbelief. In his fear, he shouted, “Why?!”

Everyone’s attention instantly shifted to Quan Jiuzhou.

Quan Jiuzhou was probably already prepared to die. He was as proud as a pine tree on a cliff as he said coldly, “Because you’re an idiot!”

“You are trying to kill your father and brother. But you are brainless and has embarrassed our Quan family. No wonder Emperor Ling Hui wants Gu Junyan to inherit the throne.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.

What was Quan Jiuzhou saying?

Emperor Ling Hui wanted Gu Junyan to inherit the throne?

Wasn’t he Gu Chilie’s son?

Besides, wasn’t he dead?

Everyone was puzzled when they heard Chu Mingxuan roar like a trapped beast, “Who do you think you are? You’re just a cripple who’s taking advantage of others!”

Quan Jiuzhou’s face turned cold. He suddenly coughed twice, as if to confirm Chu Mingxuan’s words.

“Heh.”

Before he could finish his sentence, the Cloud Piercing Arrow shot straight into Quan Jiuzhou’s chest.

He looked down. There was no anger or curse.. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said to Emperor Ling Hui, who had sat up in the throne room,”… Your end is not far away either…”
