Chapter 555: Suicide

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If the matter of turning the Black City Kingdom back into a city happened when he was young and strong, he would definitely rise up and rebel. He would kill his way into the palace, tie up the current emperor, and sit in that position.

But now that he was old, he didn’t have the energy to do that.

If he really did that, what would happen after he died? Who would inherit his position?

Lian Xin sighed. “You’re my uncle. Of course I won’t blame you. But that doesn’t apply to Yuan Hui.”

No matter what, Yuan Hui was Ning Yue’s uncle. He doted on Ning Yue like his own daughter. He would not let Ning Yue suffer.

Therefore, if he really wanted to investigate thoroughly, he really did not know how to help the old Regent get away with it.

“Lian Xin, let me tell you. I definitely won’t watch helplessly as the Black City Kingdom becomes a city of Russia. Even if that day really comes, I hope it will be after I die,” the old Regent said.

Lian Xin’s pupils constricted. He actually heard a sense of determination in the old Regent’s words.

“Royal Uncle, what exactly are you thinking?” Lian Xin asked him.

The old Regent’s words were like his last wish.

So the old Regent had done it on purpose? He had deliberately gotten someone to ambush them on that path and had deliberately gotten someone to investigate him.

After all, with the old Regent’s personality, he would definitely not let anyone investigate what he wanted to do.

He did it on purpose!

He was courting death!

With this discovery, Lian Xin’s heart skipped a beat, and even his breathing became heavy.

“Royal Uncle, why are you doing this?” Lian Xin said with a bitter smile.

“What do you mean? I don’t understand. Since you’ve already investigated, if they want to ask for punishment, just let them come at me. This has nothing to do with you,” the old Regent said.

Without waiting for Lian Xin to answer, Dezi arrived. His expression was a little ugly. “Your Majesty, Emperor Yuan Hui wanted to break in with a group of people. Due to his status, the imperial guards did not really attack them. The situation is a little bad now. The leader of the imperial guards sent someone over to ask the emperor how to deal with things.”

Hearing his words, Lian Xin looked at the old Regent. The latter was expressionless and did not react at all.

“Sigh, Dezi, take Royal Uncle to the Spring Rain Palace to rest. I’ll go and see what’s going on.” With that, Lian Xin left.

As soon as Lian Xin left, the old Regent immediately said, “Follow the emperor. I know the way to the Spring Rain Palace.”

Actually, Dezi was very worried about Lian Xin. He wanted to go with him, but since Lian Xin had an order, he did not dare to say anything.

Now that the old Regent had suggested it himself, he was relieved.

“Thank you, Your Highness. I’ll go look for the emperor now,” Dezi said.

Although there was no need for that, the old Regent still respectfully invited him out of the imperial study.

After the old Regent had walked far away, Dezi quickened his pace to look for Lian Xin.

When Lian Xin arrived at the entrance of the palace, Dezi had also arrived. Lian Xin was puzzled and wanted to ask why Dezi had come over so quickly.

However, the commotion at the entrance of the palace was relatively fierce, so before he could ask anything, Yuan Hui stopped him.

“Lian Xin, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?” he asked.

“This is not a place to talk. Come to my imperial study,” Lian Xin said.

Yuan Hui did not refuse and followed Lian Xin to the imperial study. Before he arrived, he saw the eunuchs and palace maids in a mess not far away.

Lian Xin stopped in his tracks and glanced at Dezi beside him. Dezi immediately understood what he meant. He took a step forward and shouted at the group of eunuchs and palace maids who were in a mess, “How can you be so flustered? How can you be so rude in front of the emperor of Russia? What responsibility should you bear?”

Hearing Dezi’s words, the eunuchs and palace maids immediately fell silent.

One of the eunuchs trembled and stepped forward. He said to Dezi in a trembling voice, “Eunuch, the old Regent committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake.”

Hearing this eunuch’s words, Lian Xin’s pupils constricted. “Bring me there!”

Just as he was about to walk out, he remembered that Yuan Hui was still here. He turned to Yuan Hui and said, “I’m really sorry about today. Something happened here. Please don’t be angry, Emperor of Russia.”

Yuan Hui almost cursed. He had come to look for Lian Xin to denounce him, but he did not expect that sinner to commit suicide.

However, he had already committed suicide. What else could he say?

“Since you have something to deal with, I’ll come back another day,” Yuan Hui said..
