Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

"Despite Lin Gaoyuan being released, Father Emperor actually believed that everything was done by Prime Minister Zhao. Without any evidence, he arrested Prime Minister Zhao and a group of ministers, and I was suddenly left alone," he said.

"Moreover, Concubine Yu ceaselessly bewitched Father Emperor in front of him, making him think that I was the mastermind behind everything. I heard that Father Emperor not only plans to appoint a new Crown Prince but also intends to poison me with a cup of poisoned wine. Under such circumstances, if I do not rebel, is there any way for me to survive?"

Lu Chen responded, "So that's what happened, I was wondering why Yi was in such a hurry."

"Do you think, then, that the Lin Family is colluding with that Seignior?"

Lu Yi answered, "It's likely Zhao King. Zhao King's power is now great, having destroyed several feudal states already. In less than two years, Zhao King will inevitably be at the gates of the Capital city."

Lu Yi sighed again, "Father Emperor has been blinded by traitors. I heard that the Lin Family somehow came into possession of a so-called 'Immortal Pill' that temporarily restored Father Emperor's clarity. He truly believes that it's a life-saving Immortal Pill, so he increasingly trusts the Lin Family. Little does he know, there's no way that could be a real Immortal Pill.

I consulted with the physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau; such a pill can temporarily drain a person's life force, making it seem as though they have recovered their health, but in reality, anyone who takes such a pill will only get sicker."

Seeing Lu Yi with such a pained expression, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh inwardly. His elder brother was indeed good at performing. If he didn't know what was really going on, he might have actually been fooled by him.

At that moment, Lu Yi suddenly thought of something, and then said to Lu Chen, "Ninth brother, there's something you might not know about that could shake the foundation of the Great Sum Country if it were to get out. I stumbled upon it by chance, and I still can't believe that Father Emperor would do such a thing."

Hearing this, Lu Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "What is it? That serious?"

Lu Yi glanced at the maids in the hall and then waved for them to leave.

After the maids left and the one at the door closed the hall's door, Lu Yi finally whispered, "You may have heard that many Martial Artists have mysteriously disappeared within the Great Sum Realm, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned, his interest piqued.

He had only pretended to be casually curious before, but now he was genuinely intrigued.

After all, the Brocade Guard had not found much information related to this so far. If Lu Yi really knew something, it would be effortless good fortune.

Lu Chen then said, "I've heard about it as well. Is the matter Yi is speaking of related to the disappearance of the Great Sum Martial Artists?"

Lu Yi said with a panicked look, "Yes, it is."

Lu Chen showed an incredulous look, pressing further, "Could it be… Father Emperor is responsible for this?"

Lu Yi whispered, "It's hard to believe, isn't it? When I first heard about this, I couldn't believe that it was related to Father Emperor either."

Lu Chen asked, "What would Father Emperor want with so many Martial Artists?"

Lu Yi replied, "I heard that Father Emperor obtained a sinister artifact capable of absorbing the skill and essence blood of Martial Artists. Rumor has it that one can achieve immortality or break through to the Celestial Realm with that artifact. Remember when Father Emperor sent the Heavy Cavalry to the South some time ago? Those soldiers were tasked with transporting this object back."

"When I started my coup, I managed to win over a Colonel from the Heavy Cavalry involved in the transport of that item. He told me that before they transported the item, they sacrificed many Martial Artists. Furthermore, ever since those Heavy Cavalry soldiers returned, they've been dying one by one. That's why the Colonel decided to defect to me.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And when we stormed the Imperial Palace, I personally saw the soldiers' blood being sucked away by something, turning them into mummies in an instant."

As he spoke, Lu Yi's face showed a look of terror. Continue your journey with empire

Hearing this from Lu Yi, Xue Linglong at his side also frowned slightly. Although she knew this matter was related to the Sum Emperor, she didn't expect that Lu Yi was also aware of it, and that he knew even more than her. Moreover, Lu Yi had never mentioned it to her before, and had only revealed it now in the presence of North Prince.
