Chapter 396 - Second Prince’s Rebellions (2)

*Warning: the scene below might be a bit too gory for children. It's advisable for one to be above 13 years old to proceed*

Whether they did it willingly or because they were coerced to do so was still unknown.

Prince Yang Lu didn't pay any attention to them and turned his head to the main hall. "Open the door."

Bang!

The door opened and what greeted them was another gory scene.

Several bodies laid on the ground, their blood formed countless pools beneath their bodies. Some chopped off limbs were tossed to the side, tainting the ground with red color from the blood seeped out. It was a complete mess.

Mu Fei Xin's face turned pale, but she held on. The strong smell assaulted her nose, making her stomach churn. However, she didn't want to leave her husband to face everything on his own.

"Ah, you come, Your Highness." Hai Fa Xia turned around and smiled brightly. He spread his bloodied hand as a creepy smile formed on his lips. "I have been waiting for you."

Prince Yang Lu furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't recall asking you to start this bloodshed."

"If we want to move forward, we need to eliminate the hindrance first." Hai Fa Xia walked forward, kicking the nearest corpse near him. The blood dirtied the hem of his clothes, but he didn't seem to care in the slightest bit.

"Do you mind, Your Highness."

"Did Mother ask you to do this?" Instead of answering, Prince Yang Lu asked another question. His dark eyes were staring straight at Hai Fa Xia's direction as if he wanted to drill a hole on the man's body.

Hai Fa Xia smiled. "Of course. My aunt wishes for you to be the one to hold the throne. But since the legal path is blocked, there's no other choice but to start it from Kuai City."

The legal path?

Prince Yang Lu could faintly remember the time when he was at the Capital City and his mother gave an order to kick his older brother out. As long as they could convince the officials that he was the real Emperor, there wouldn't be anyone to say otherwise. And if Emperor Yang Zhou was killed, his dream would indeed come true.

But that plan failed miserably.

Emperor Yang Zhou had more support than what Empress Dowager Hai expected. It was also because of that Hai Family was kicked off of the Capital City. They couldn't get close to the city at all.

"Aunt longed to see you on that seat." Hai Fa Xia stared at Prince Yang Lu. "Wouldn't you want to fulfil her wishes?"

"She can't see me anymore." Prince Yang Lu's voice was cold. He was staring at Hai Fa Xia with chilling cold eyes. It was as if he was ready to murder the person in front of him within moments.

The guards around Hai Fa Xia drew their swords when they sensed the thick killing intent. They were all ordered to protect Hai Fa Xia even if it meant that they would be facing Prince Yang Lu.

"It's necessary." Hai Fa Xia looked at many officials who were crouching at the door. He smiled brightly. "If not for that, how do you think we can pull so many officials to our side?"

The concubines.

With the death of Empress Dowager Hai, those who belonged to Hai Family were all ordered to return. If they didn't agree, there would be more than enough force to eliminate them and those whom they loved.

Because of that, these concubines had to beg their husbands to allow them to come here. Some of them succeeded in asking their husband to come along but some others would have no choice but to go back on their own.
