Chapter 355: Chapter 356: Ambush (2nd Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

"In our Qinhuang nation’s royal family, my father, the current Emperor, is the deepest hidden figure. Now that both the mighty Taifu Prince and the martial Wuxuan Prince, two hidden powerhouses, have appeared, it’s very possible that he already knows about your situation."

Princess Tian Yin said with some concern.

The identity of Chu Fengmian is indeed special, not to mention he is not a royal disciple, he isn’t even a person from the Qinhuang nation.

Now during the war among the Six Kingdoms, Chu Fengmian is from the nation of Wusheng, which is an enemy of the Qinhuang nation.

If Chu Fengmian’s identity were to be revealed, Princess Tian Yin would inevitably be accused of colluding with the enemy and committing treason.

Then she would truly be unable to turn over a new leaf.

"No worries, generally those with the strength of a peak saint cannot make rash moves, not even the God Power Realm Octuple Prince Poshan. It’s not without possibility to deal with him."

Chu Fengmian said with a cold laugh.

"I know you also want this imperial throne; do you really want to just hand it over to the eldest prince? Enduring in hiding now is also meaningless."

"Of course I’m aware, but to contend against the royal family with my strength alone is far from enough."

Princess Tian Yin said gravely.

She wasn’t without the desire to resist, but her strength was far from shaking the foundation of the royal family.

The royal family of the Qinhuang nation had survived a thousand years; its foundation was not something she could shake.

"I’m confident that I can have you take charge of the court."

Chu Fengmian suddenly stated.

"We don’t need to wait for tomorrow’s court session; today, it’s time to kill the eldest prince."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Princess Tian Yin frowned and spoke incredulously, disbelief etched in her eyes.

Kill the eldest prince today?

Such an idea was wildly audacious.

But indeed, killing the eldest prince would eliminate Princess Tian Yin’s only competitor, significantly increasing her chances of ruling the royal family.

But how could they kill the eldest prince?

Killing the eldest prince was not a simple matter; he was well-guarded by the best and now even by Taifu Prince and Wuxuan Prince.

Trying to kill the eldest prince was nearly impossible.

And doing so would be madness; once Chu Fengmian made his move, he and the royal family of the Qinhuang nation would be real enemies to the death.

"Are you sure?"

Princess Tian Yin quickly regained her composure, analyzing this, as she wasn’t just anyone but someone the royal family had put forward.

She quickly gauged the gains and losses.

Killing the eldest prince was indeed the simplest and best method.

If the enemies died, Princess Tian Yin wouldn’t need to fight anymore.

But this plan was far from easy to execute; it had only one chance, and failure meant total defeat without a second opportunity.

"I’m certainly confident; even with Wuxuan Prince and Taifu Prince around, I have a way to kill the eldest prince."

Chu Fengmian spoke coldly.

Attacking the eldest prince now, he surely wouldn’t expect it, as just now Chu Fengmian had a perfect opportunity and hadn’t made a move.

Chu Fengmian hadn’t acted just now, not only because of Wuxuan Prince’s appearance but also because he felt an extremely profound and powerful presence watching this place.

That assuredly was Emperor Qinhuang, that supreme holy figure.

Even if Chu Fengmian had made a move, there was no chance.

But now, making a move again could definitely kill the eldest prince before Emperor Qinhuang reacted.

Chu Fengmian was a man who strictly avenged faults; the eldest prince had angered Chu Fengmian, and no mere vial of sage’s essence could quench his fury.

Princess Tian Yin was silent for a long time, seemingly weighing the gains and losses. After a while, her gaze became resolute.

"Fine, I’ll take the gamble this time, success or failure hinges on this."

Princess Tian Yin stated.

This last hope was worth her gamble.

"How should we do it?"

Chu Fengmian didn’t waste any words and directly asked.

"Princess Tian Yin, lure the eldest prince to your residence, which shouldn’t be difficult for you. Once he arrives, I will make my move and kill him."

Princess Tian Yin nodded, quietly sending out a message.

"He’s coming."

"Good."

Chu Fengmian quietly concealed his form, standing aside.

In a short while, two figures descended from the sky, precisely the eldest prince and Taifu Prince.

"What’s the matter? Little sister, did you realize you’re destined to lose? Decided to stop resisting me and prepare to obediently be a puppet?"

The eldest prince landed and immediately burst out laughing upon seeing Princess Tian Yin.

"Father has already summoned me and will appoint me as Crown Prince. You stand no chance now, no matter what strange fellow you’ve called upon. You’ve already lost."

"What?"

Hearing the eldest prince’s words, Princess Tian Yin was stunned, then incredulously said,

"That’s impossible!"

The Qinhuang nation had never appointed a Crown Prince; that was exactly why Princess Tian Yin and the eldest prince had been vying for it.

Now, without a clear winner, the eldest prince was about to be appointed as the Crown Prince, an outcome that was like a defeat out of nowhere for Princess Tian Yin.

How could she believe this?

Although Princess Tian Yin had always been a puppet, she had also hoped to contest for the imperial throne, but now the eldest prince’s words suddenly made her realize.

She was always just a puppet put forward, and the throne was never something within her reach.

"Indeed, Princess Tian Yin, the eldest prince has already been appointed by His Majesty as the Crown Prince, and everything will be announced in tomorrow’s court session. You can stop struggling now and just hand over the command of the Qinhuang army corps,"

"And where’s that fellow you summoned? Hand him over too."

Taifu Prince also coldly huffed, harboring deep hatred for Chu Fengmian.

With his status, he had never been handled so by anyone; this had filled him with a lasting grudge against Chu Fengmian.

"Little sister, no need to struggle anymore, you’re just a puppet. A puppet should act like one; do you really think you could inherit the throne? Naive."

The eldest prince continued to laugh victoriously as he looked at Princess Tian Yin.

"Eldest prince, do you really think you’ve already won?"

Princess Tian Yin glared at the eldest prince, angry in her response.

She had calculated everything to contest the throne, not knowing how long she had worked. Now with just one sentence, it all seemed to disperse like smoke.

She thought Emperor Qinhuang would give her a chance, but unfortunately, it was all an illusion.

"Tomorrow, in the court session, everything will end, your command of the troops will be revoked, that boy will be suppressed, what could you possibly rely on?"

The eldest prince kept laughing uproariously.

"It’s just a pity, the first one to die will be you!"
