Su Xia Yue slightly parted his lips, looking at Qing Qing with a confident and calm expression, and replied.

"This is called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy. If you don't even know who your enemy is and who your friend is, how could you possibly win?"

The eunuch hastened to console her. "Sixth Prince, you must restrain your grief! The emperor originally passed away last night, but the empress and Empress Dowager told us to keep it a secret. He only came to tell the princes when he came out of the coffin today."

Mu Rong Qing turned around and returned, his eyes completely red. If not for his anger, he would have cried.

It is said that men do not easily cry, but only to the point of sadness.

Qing Qing was not angry, but sad.

Since he was young, Su Xia Yue had never enjoyed the warmth of his parents, and had only experienced this when he was reborn by Liu Mu Xin's side. Only then did she feel that they were connected by blood and that they were in love. Only then could she understand the pain of Qing Qing losing his father. Probably what happened when he lost his mother …

"Qing Qing!"

Su Xia Yue had only spoken two words before he was interrupted.

"Elder sister, do you think that all those who care about themselves will die? Lao Kang is dead, and even now, I still haven't been able to take revenge for him. royal father is dead, but I can't even see royal father's last time.

Mu Rong Qing said with a deep voice that trembled slightly. It sounded like she was enduring something. On the contrary, it was even more painful.

That's right, even though the Mu Rong Qing before him had awakened the inheritance of his almighty being, he had always been lonely and bitter since he was young. But there was no way to change his miserable life. Lao Kang, who had taken care of Qing Qing since he was young, had died for him. It wasn't easy for him to meet his only father who doted on him, and he actually died in one night.

This kind of attack was truly hard to accept. There weren't many people that could withstand this kind of attack without collapsing.

Su Xia Yue reached out and patted Qing Qing's back gently, her gentle voice was filled with comfort.

"Big sister won't leave you. Big sister will always be your big sister."

"Big sister!"

Mu Rong Qing's eyes revealed an expression that Su Xia Yue did not quite understand. It was as if in her happiness, there was something she wasn't satisfied with, so much so that her eyes held a trace of regret.

As for what exactly it was that he regretted, Su Xia Yue didn't want to further investigate.

It was said that the onlookers knew who was on the sidelines, and at the moment, Su Xia Yue could be considered more clear-headed than Mu Rong Qing.

She waited until Mu Rong Qing was no longer as sorrowful as before before before and started to advise him.

"Qing Qing, now that the First Prince has joined hands with the Empress Dowager and the Empress to hide the news of the Emperor's death until now, we are already in a passive state. The most important thing right now is not to be addicted to it, but to immediately join forces with all of our powers to counterattack!"

"Counterattack?" Now that the crown prince has officially ascended the throne, forget about me, who normally doesn't have much status or power as a Sixth Prince, even second brother, third brother who has always been favored by royal father, is in danger, "Mu Rong Qing said in a slightly dejected manner.

Hearing that, Su Xia Yue immediately revealed a sly smile.

"It doesn't matter, what we want is an identity that no one cares about!"

"Elder sister, you mean …"

Mu Rong Qing lifted his head and then looked at Su Xia Yue with a gaze that also emitted a trace of light. Without even needing to say the following words, Mu Rong Qing began moving along with Su Xia Yue.

Mu Rong Qing had to attend the ceremony for the Emperor to enter the Royal Tomb. Similarly, the crown prince, the second and third princes had to attend as well.

Six hours later, when the royal clan's nobles and officials were on their way to deliver the emperor's corpse to the Royal Tomb, this heavily guarded troop actually encountered a sneak attack.

"AHH!"

It was unknown which group of people had put down the Earth Thrust on the road of this group of people. Hidden spikes, buried deep in the ground, pointed upwards. One didn't pay attention to them, and quite a few people stepped on these earth spikes. Immediately, he let out a blood-curdling screech.

However, this was still alright. As soon as they cried out, the guards guarding the troop immediately reached out and drew their swords from their waists. Then, they widened their eyes as they looked around in alert. Some of the guards spread out to check if the surroundings were safe.

They had barely taken a few steps when they stepped on an even more powerful landmine. In the span of a single breath, more than ten voices exploded from both sides.

Smoke filled the air and miserable screams filled the air.

Most of the royals and nobles who were under everyone's protection were fine, the ones who died were only the guards beside them. However, when the guards died, their mouths would go cold. The remaining dozen guards who were protecting the aristocratic young masters and mistresses who lived like princes and princesses were mostly civil officials. The scene immediately became chaotic.

"What happened?"

"Protect the Empress Dowager, protect the Queen! "Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Second Prince, Third Prince? Second Prince? Third Prince? "

"…"

The funeral procession, which had been silent and in mourning, suddenly became terrified. Everyone felt threatened. Even the guards that were escorting the emperor's corpse almost dropped his coffin and ran away.

At this time, the First General of the Gaomu led his daughter Ye Lv Rong Yan and rushed out with his blade.

The General Jeru shouted loudly, "With me, Jeroen, here! Who dares to be impudent? "

"Great General!" Quick, quickly protect this crown prince and return to the palace! "

As the First Prince spoke, he took a step towards the direction of the General Jeru.
