Chapter 1239: Chapter 1238: If the Emperor Really Can’t

Prince Yu wants to replace the Emperor and preside over the grand ceremony!

But such a ceremony must be hosted by the Emperor in person.

All these years, there has never been a case where another Prince took upon this task.

Prince Yu... he wants to announce to the world that he, too, can preside over the grand ceremony with the National Advisor, just like the Emperor!

The intention of Prince Yu was clear to everyone.

However, this time, not a single person felt any dissent or anger in their hearts.

Because, it truly was a matter of utmost urgency.

If the Emperor does not show himself, how can the people of Baijing Village be pacified?

Know that it is not an ordinary village. It is a large village near the Imperial City outside, where each settlement has a population of over a thousand.

If Baijing Village is lost, a thousand lives, a thousand lost souls are at stake!

The two villages next to Baijing have also lost hundreds of lives.

This is an unprecedented major incident, far more severe than the minor breach that took over a hundred lives last time!

As the Emperor, at such a time, one must ultimately make a stand.

In everyone’s hearts, there was a hint of panic.

If the Emperor really is this gravely ill, then... then letting the strong and fertile Prince Yu succeed the throne is also... not an impossibility.

It is certainly better than the country descending into chaos, foreign invasion, and the loss of Jiangshan.

No matter how brutal Prince Yu is, at least, he would not harm his people and the country.

"Fourth Brother, can the Emperor really..."

"Who says I am unable to preside over the state of affairs?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside.

The Emperor!

When Little Shunzi opened the door, and the Emperor, dressed in dragon robes, appeared in everyone’s view, some breathed a sigh of relief, while for others, their hearts jumped to their throats.

Some were simply incredulous.

Prince Yu’s brow furrowed with myriad questions.

Stricken with severe poisoning, how could he have recovered so suddenly? And to recover so quickly!

"Paying respects to the Emperor!" The others immediately bowed in salute.

The Emperor’s cold eyes swept over everyone’s face, finally fixing on Prince Yu: "Prince Yu, why do you not bow in respect upon seeing me?"

Prince Yu tensed up, intending to bow, but suddenly an enchanting voice came from behind him:

"The Emperor has been seriously ill, yet not only is there no sign of recovery on his complexion, but even his steps have become stronger and more steady, his face rosy and his breath restrained. His Inner Strength has even grown substantially."

The person inside the sedan, peering through the curtains at the Emperor standing foremost among the crowd, let out a cold laugh: "If one did not know, they might think the Emperor has been replaced by someone else."

He is a member of the Lan Family, and now with the State Preceptor absent, he is the highest in status among the members of the Lan Family.

The State Preceptor or his successor is a sage.

They need not bow when seeing the Emperor.

Hence, Lan Fan has till now remained seated in the jade sedan carried by four people, not taking a single step down.

And he showed no intention of stepping down to salute the Emperor.

Fundamentally, since the incident with the State Preceptor, everyone had already formed their preconceptions about Lan Fan.

The State Preceptor and the Emperor’s woman eloping—if the story is true, this Mr. Lan will be the future National Advisor.

Lan Fan’s voice falling into Prince Yu’s ears prompted him to take another look at the Emperor, and suddenly, his complexion drastically changed!

"You are not the Emperor, who exactly are you?"

With a wave of his hand, Chu Minghao and Gui Tong leaped into action at his signal, pouncing towards the Emperor at breakneck speed.

Nobody expected Prince Yu’s men to strike so suddenly!

Such an act is a capital offense.

It was because of this unexpectedness that even Yang Xun couldn’t react in time.

By the time Yang Xun realized and tried to jump forward to save the Emperor, Chu Minghao’s palm and Gui Tong’s fingers had already reached the face of the Emperor...
