Chapter 1194: Life In The Balance (2)
Next, he only had to follow Ji Fengyan’s instructions.
Long Xi steadied himself. He maintained his composure as he looked at the frantic Sacred Dragon Crown Prince.
“I’m afraid His Majesty, they have discovered the Sacred Dragon Emperor. We cannot stay here for long. We need to leave quickly.” Long Xi spoke gravely.
The Sacred Dragon Crown Prince was already terrified. In his heart, the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon that had begun to wane, could not rival a large entity like the Kingdom of Sa Er. The Sacred Dragon Emperor had taken a risk to approach the Grand Tutor, Xing Hun, and the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince had disapproved of this. He could not understand why his Royal Father would so stubbornly insist on killing Ji Fengyan, to the extent of being willing to jeopardize the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.
After a few defeats, he had still refused to retreat. Now he had caused the current calamity. The Sacred Dragon Crown Prince felt like the sky was about to fall.
Long Xi, whom he had envied and been jealous of in the past, had become the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s only hope for survival. His entire body shivered as he grasped Long Xi’s sleeve. His expression was frantic.
“What should I do? What should I do? Will my Royal Father give me up? Are they here to arrest me?”
Long Xi looked at the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s terrified expression, and a trace of disdain surfaced in his eyes. They were both crown princes, but he could not understand why the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s crown prince was so weak and useless. However, to ensure that the next part of the plan proceeded smoothly, Long Xi deliberately ignored the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s uselessness and spoke gently. “Don’t worry, I will escort you out of the Kingdom of Sa Er.”
When the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince heard Long Xi’s words, he was so moved he almost burst into tears. He naturally did not refuse, but nodded frantically.
In the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s eyes, the men sent by the Grand Tutor’s residence were there to capture him. Instead, it was Long Xi who showed his loyalty and brought him out at this crucial moment. At that moment, in the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s heart, Long Xi was his savior.
After comforting the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince, Long Xi immediately brought him into the carriages that had been prepared in advance. They silently left the capital of the Kingdom of Sa Er under the cover of night.
Meanwhile, Ji Fengyan was safely under house arrest in the Grand Tutor’s residence. The morning after the incident, the Grand Tutor released the news of the crown prince’s betrayal first thing in the morning. Once the news was out, it shook the entire nation. Many people were suspicious of the truth of the matter.
However, on the night of the birthday banquet, many important officials had come to celebrate his birthday. They had personally witnessed everything, and now they naturally came forward to confirm that what the Grand Tutor said was true.
The entire Kingdom of Sa Er was in shock.
After this had happened, the Sa Er Emperor gravely reprimanded the crown prince. But once he found out that they had executed the crown prince, his expression was complicated.
Long Xi was not just the prince of the Kingdom of Sa Er, but also its crown prince. His fall left the position of crown prince of the Kingdom of Sa Er vacant. Further, the Sa Er Emperor only had two sons. Without Long Xi, the position of crown prince would undoubtedly fall to Long Yue.
It might be said that Long Yue was effortlessly pushed into the position of crown prince by everyone, encountering no obstacles. And all this was the result that Xing Hun wanted.
After Long Yue became the crown prince, the Sa Er Emperor temporarily handed matters within the Kingdom of Sa Er to Xing Hun and Long Yue because of his poor health. At that moment, the transfer of all the power in the Kingdom of Sa Er was complete.
