Emperor Qing clenched his fists when he heard rumors circulating throughout the empire that the people had begun to demand that Prince Dwei abdicate and be replaced by Prince Gui Bai, just because the Seng Empire was reportedly very angry with them, as well as Prince Dwei's condition which was still not healed.
Sitting on his gold-studded throne, his anger grew, even more, when he found out that Ying Hua had not yet arrived at the palace with the hermit she was referring to.
The fierce gaze, all the veins of ferocious strength and power, spread and almost devoured the emperor's face. Like falling into darkness and then being trapped in it.
Advisor Fancheng was silent without saying anything because he knew how dire the current state of the empire was.
"Fancheng," Emperor Qing called out with nostrils blooming with anger. "Are you sure that's the rumor that's circulating throughout the empire?"
