Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For the throne, Chu Mingyuan wouldn’t hesitate to harm his young brother, kill concubines, or even commit matricide and filicide!

Becoming emperor mattered more to him than anything else!

“Heh.”

Chu Yihan’s lips curled into a scornful smile. “Since you’re so fond of the throne, then by all means, keep sitting there.”

Chu Mingyuan trembled. “What… what do you mean?”

He didn’t plan to kill him?

He was a powerless loner, Chu Mingyuan couldn’t fathom why Chu Yihan, now having him at his mercy, didn’t exact revenge and instead allowed him to remain on the throne.

“Killing you would be simple, but you’ve coveted this throne for so long. I’ll let you sit there until your dying breath!”

Chu Yihan pressed the tip of his sword against Chu Mingyuan’s neck, drawing a shallow wound. It wasn’t fatal, but the sensation of blood seeping out was enough to instill fear and dread.

“As long as I’m alive, you’ll never hold real power. You’ll forever be a puppet emperor! Let me show you just how tempting the throne is, and what it truly means to be an emperor!”

With a swift motion, Chu Yihan pushed him back onto the throne, then effortlessly seized the jade seal from his desk.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Chu Mingyuan pursued him desperately. “Chu Yihan! I’ll never allow you to do this. I won’t let you take the jade seal!”

“Clang…”

A sharp clang sliced through the air as Chu Yihan’s Qingfeng Sword pierced Chu Mingyuan’s body, causing excruciating pain.

“Ahhh!”

Chu Mingyuan roared in agony!

“Why?”

He had devoted so much effort to plotting Chu Yihan’s demise, enduring countless sleepless nights just to see him dead!

He had thought everything would go according to plan!

The fear and rage that had simmered within him for years finally found release, but it was Chu Yihan’s sword that became the outlet. The moment it struck, he felt as though his entire being was torn asunder, the pain piercing his heart!

“Chu! Yihan!”

Chu Yihan was like a thorn in his heart, a needle in his soul, tormenting him incessantly!

Leaving the imperial study with the jade seal in hand, Chu Yihan was greeted by soldiers who knelt in unison, cheering for his victory. It was a celebration of his rightful claim to power.

Holding the jade seal aloft, Chu Yihan declared, “Though I’ve reclaimed the jade seal today, I remain the Ninth Prince of the Great Cheng Dynasty. No need for long live chants, but remember, the Great Cheng Dynasty belongs to me!” “Yes, Your Highness! For eternity, you shall reign as the Great Cheng Dynasty’s eternal king!”

Their unified voices thundered like an unstoppable force, echoing loudly and resolutely!

“Follow me to the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor for a proposal!”

With Chu Yihan’s command, tens of thousands of soldiers marched in perfect formation behind him, a formidable force moving from the imperial palace to the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor.

The people of the Marquis’s Manor could hear the deafening sound from far away.

The womenfolk huddled together in fear. Su Han escorted them to the backyard and then went to the front hall, beside Su Qingzhi.

It was a rare occasion for the Su family to gather together so orderly. Even Su Xinlan, trembling with fear, brought her children back to hide.

She had heard of the chaos in Jiang Du City, where Chu Yihan was forcing the abdication, and soldiers flooded the streets. Although Changxin Marquis’s Manor had its guards, they couldn’t compare to the forces led by Su Qingzhi in the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor!

Moreover, Su Yingxue, Chu Yihan’s beloved, was also in this manor!
