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."
She was poisoned to death.
And the very person who poisoned her was the man who stood before him, his own uncle and also his mother's younger brother.
"I don't agree with this."
No matter what, Prince Yang Lu never wanted to sacrifice his mother just for him to be able to get the throne. The only person who protected him in this world was his mother. Even if she did it because she had another purpose, the kindness she showed to him was real.
He didn't want to use her just because of his pitiful condition.
"It's too late."
Clang! Clang! Tak!
The guards formed a circle around Prince Yang Lu and Mu Fei Xin. They were determined to make sure that these two couldn't move away from this place.
"You..." Prince Yang Lu's eyebrows creased.
"My apologies, Your Highness." Hai Fa Xia smiled. "However, I would need you to stay in this hall until everything is over."
Clang!
"What a load of crap." Prince Lang Yu moved forward and snatched the sword from the nearest guard. He used it to block the next attack. His eyes were staring at Hai Fa Xia coldly.
Ever since he lost from his brother, he had been preparing himself. He trained hard and studied everything he could so that he would not be placed in difficult position. Now that he had better skill, Prince Yang Lu knew that he could protect himself.
Hai Fa Xia sighed when he saw this. "In that case, please forgive our insolence, Your Highness. Don't kill him. We need him alive."
"Yes!"
