"Replying to the prince, everything is ready, we just need to act tonight!"
"Be quick! We must be quick!" Cang Yile was already impatient, wishing he could rush out right now and eliminate Canglong Hui without leaving a trace!
Qing'er was filled with worry for Xia Yuhan: "Master, the secret of you being the Ice Blood Sect Master’s assassin is likely already known to that Puppet Master! He will definitely use this to sow discord!"
"So what? If we keep waiting like this, Xia Yuhan and the others might lose their heads! Besides, at this critical moment, we still haven't confirmed who the Puppet Master is!"
"Understood! Qing'er knows, I will start preparing right away!" Qing'er had followed him for so many years and had never seen Cang Yile care for anyone like this. She dared not say much and could only do her utmost to follow Cang Yile's instructions. On another note, she sincerely hoped nothing would happen to Xia Yuhan.
As soon as Qing'er left the room, an old man barged in: "What’s going on? How could such a sudden change happen in such a short time? There’s definitely a scheme behind this!"
Cang Yile held the treasured sword he had polished for a long time—the Xiang Sword—and carefully wiped it: "A storm is about to come! Whether we can survive this storm depends on this sword in my hand! Did you gain anything from your trip to the Azure Dragon Kingdom's border?"
"Of course! When I take action, there will naturally be results! Look, this is the poison from Yuhan Tuer during that time! It was used by Madam of Xia Manor when she was in disrepute and not well regarded!"
Cang Yile cautiously took the poison from the old man's hand: "This indeed is the raw material for making that kind of poison! Just in case, let’s have our Divine Doctor personally verify it! Last time, thanks to him working day and night to develop the antidote for Yu Han, otherwise where would Yu Han be now?"
The old man seriously stroked his beard: "I’ve already sent someone to have it verified by the Divine Doctor! However, since he is currently in prison, it will take some time for messages to get through. Now that we have solid evidence, we can basically rule out the Northern People; this Puppet Master must be from the Southern Kingdom. What are you planning to do next?"
"Could this Puppet Master be Nangong Mo? I think it’s very likely him! But even if it is him, we cannot act recklessly!"
"Why is that?"
"Because he has a terrifying assassin by his side, and we have dealt with him multiple times! I have been injured several times because of him!"
"Sigh... In the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom, you are unmatched; anyone who can harm you must not be an ordinary person. Disciple, rest assured, I will lend you a helping hand. The most important thing now is whether we should retaliate or not?"
Cang Yile had a look of helplessness between his brows: "Right now, I am in a dilemma!"
Because he was constantly thinking about Xia Yuhan, Cang Yile suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted, "That's it! We have a reason to act now! Although it's speculated that Yu Han's true identity is the princess of Lost Nation, no one has confirmed it, but that doesn't mean we can't use the banner of restoring the former dynasty!"
The old man immediately slapped his thigh: "Right, how did I not think of that! Although it's about restoring the former dynasty, the emperor of that dynasty did establish the prosperous era of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, after all, he was revered by thousands. Moreover, at that time, the Dog Emperor was already plotting to usurp power behind the backs of all the officials and the common people. This time, we are dealing with the very popular father-daughter duo of Xia Yuhan. If we act under the banner of restoring the former dynasty, we might face much less resistance!"
"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for?"
"Alright!"
……
At this moment, deep within the prison, over three hundred people from Xia Manor were being held in a gloomy cell.
When Xia Yuhan arrived, General Xia had already been beaten to a bloody pulp. Despite this, they still refused to let General Xia go and instead kept him suspended in mid-air with chains, allowing his blood to drip drop by drop onto the dark prison floor.
The jailers had imprisoned over three hundred people from Xia Manor in cages surrounding where General Xia was held.
Xia Yuhan was granted special permission to stay in the same space as General Xia.
Looking at her father General Xia, who was on the verge of death from being beaten by the jailers, Xia Yuhan suddenly felt a pain in her chest: "Put my Daddy down! Whatever you want to know, I, Xia Yuhan, will tell you everything!"
"No! No! Yu Han, you are my daughter from Xia Zhongguo, don't sell yourself out for this! Just being able to see you one last time before I die is enough for me! Yu Han, no matter what happens, you must live well! You take after your mother; so smart and understanding, strong yet not oppressive. You will definitely be able to escape this disaster! It's a pity your mother died so early... sigh!"
"Daddy, what exactly is going on? Has Yu Han's biological mother already passed away?"
"Yes, because your brilliance attracts too much attention, leading to people wanting to kill you. Daddy is deliberately being cold to ensure your safety for a lifetime. Yu Han, no matter what, you must live well!"
"No! Daddy, if we are to live, we should live together! Daddy is clearly wronged; the overwhelming evidence is all fabricated. Does Daddy really want to accept this?"
Xia Yuhan's calm emotions gradually spiraled out of control. She couldn't bear to see her loved ones hurt or wronged, but no matter how she pleaded, General Xia seemed resolute in his decision to face death.
"Yu Han, Daddy has fought for the country for so many years; now let Daddy be a little selfish. Right now, Daddy just wants to not be a burden to you. Regarding your background, Daddy can only tell you at the end; you won't blame Daddy, will you? Remember to live well! Daddy can finally reunite with your mother now; you should be happy for Daddy. As for the truth, it lies in the hearts of the people."
After saying these words, General Xia suddenly lowered his head and bit his tongue to death...
"Daddy, Daddy! Father..." No matter how much Xia Yuhan called out, General Xia remained unmoved. "Daddy, rest assured, Yu Han will definitely live well..."
In that moment, it felt as if the entire world had fallen silent. Everyone looked in disbelief at the scene of General Xia taking his own life, their hearts filled with immense sorrow. Their pillar had collapsed; could they still survive?
Locked away in her cage, Madam, after witnessing and hearing everything, suddenly felt tragic. She realized that living in Xia Manor for so many years was a joke!
She originally thought that by oppressing Xia Yuhan and her mother, she was the winner, yet she and her Xia Wan'er had lost to Xia Yuhan from the very beginning! How could fate be so unfair to her?
Regarding General Xia's death, the jailer was equally surprised: "Quickly report to the emperor; Xia Zhongguo has taken his own life out of guilt!"
Xia Yuhan snorted coldly. This sound completely unleashed the momentum she had been hiding before, each word pressing down on the jailer so that he didn't dare to breathe: "Shut up! General Xia was wronged, and I, Xia Yuhan, will prove this! You will be held accountable for General Xia's death!"
The Warden shouted angrily: "Nonsense! This is a prison; how dare you, a lowly prisoner, act recklessly here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Warden fell down dead under suspicious circumstances. No one present noticed that the Warden had been murdered!
At this moment, deep within the silent prison, a sudden uproar of shouting and clashing sounds echoed, and the noise grew closer to them, indicating that someone had come to fight their way through in no time. Xia Yuhan knew that someone was rising up against the Azure Dragon Kingdom!
However, the prison was known for its tight defenses; it seemed too strange to breach it so easily.
Just as Xia Yuhan furrowed her brows in concern, a man dressed in white suddenly came into her view, making her eyes well up: "Right Chancellor, how could it be you?"
Jiang Tingyu only glanced at Xia Yuhan with concern before raising the righteous sword in his hand and shouting, "The Emperor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom is indulgent and tyrannical, misled by slanderous words and wrongfully killing loyal ministers. I, Jiang Tingyu, rebel! Those who obstruct shall die!"
With just those words, it seemed to unleash a tremendous momentum that stirred people's hearts, filling them with boundless strength as they gravitated toward that force. Soon, Xia Yuhan was successfully rescued from the prison...
"Right Chancellor, why are you here?" Xia Yuhan's eyes were moist; she hadn't expected that at this critical moment, it would be Jiang Tingyu saving her instead of Cang Yile.
Jiang Tingyu pulled Xia Yuhan onto his horse and held her tightly in his arms: "Yu Han, it's not about Jiang Tingyu; I merely did what I wanted to do! Prince Yile is waiting for you in the court!"
"Is it really him?" Xia Yuhan's eyes moistened once more. Although he had betrayed her, he had risked everything to save her!
...
In the court, Cang Yile confronted the ministers with weapons drawn, forcing the Emperor to abdicate!
When Xia Yuhan arrived, she found the situation very unfavorable for Cang Yile. Even if he could seize power by force, how was that any different from the current Emperor?
Beside her, Jiang Tingyu spoke astonishingly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xia Yuhan's influence is well-known; now she is also the princess of Lost Nation. What would be wrong with restoring the former dynasty? Moreover, with General Xia deceased, the ones benefiting most are undoubtedly the Southern Kingdom and Northern Kingdom. Without General Xia, the Azure Dragon Kingdom is on shaky ground!"
"Right Chancellor, how can you be so ungrateful? The Emperor has treated you well!"
"Jiang Tingyu has always placed the safety of the country above everything else! I believe the ministers are still unaware that Jiang Tingyu has already sent someone to investigate, and it turns out that the gem embedded in the Golden Robe Dragon Eye is none other than the unique golden pearl from the Longhui Prince's residence! This kind of pearl is only possessed by the Emperor and the Longhui Prince! How could General Xia, stationed far away at the border, have such a treasure?"
As these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked, and discussions erupted among them.
Cang Yile, anxious and impatient, had been waiting for this moment. Now that he saw his beloved woman safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and majestically raised the Imperial Jade Seal above his head: "The Imperial Jade Seal is here; those who defy it are in rebellion!"
This series of events caught the Emperor off guard. He did not realize that while he was taking action, things were unfolding so suddenly, and he was even more surprised that his most trusted person was turning against him!
...
In the end, Cang Yile successfully eliminated the remaining factions and ascended to power. However, after he dealt with all matters, his Yu Han suddenly disappeared along with Jiang Tingyu right before him...
Ultimately, for her sake, he initiated a rebellion and won, but he lost her.
She left without even a word of farewell...
Perhaps one day, they would meet again? With this thought in mind, Cang Yile would often weep bitterly...
