Chapter 496: No More Enemies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Lang went to the palace and found good uncle playing hide-and-seek with Sweetcake.
As soon as Shen Lang arrived, Yun Ran realized that Xuanyuan Yu was so willful that he did not go to court for a few days. She glanced at MO Beiyuan and could not help but sigh. The emperors of the five countries were really each more willful than the other.
One left the government to the general.
The other did not attend court.
The problem was that the two of them were actually playing hide-and-seek with the little packrat and bringing her to build a snowman.
“Yu, you’re too casual as an emperor.”
Nowadays, Xuanyuan Yu saw Bai Wan every day and could even tease his granddaughter. Who would still want to go to court and face those long-winded ministers?
“It’s not a big deal. If it was, it would have reached me long ago.”
Now that the country was peaceful, there were no natural disasters or wars. The people were living quite well, so there were naturally no major matters.
The only big thing was probably the problem of his harem and children.
Yun Ran was also very curious. Although Xuanyuan Yu was quite famous as a tyrant, there were really not many enemies who wanted to cut off his head.
“Yu, have you thought about it carefully over the past few days? What enemies have you made over the years? How many people want your life?”
The Spiritual Divine Monkey’s prophecy had always been a huge rock in everyone’s hearts.
Since his precious daughter had spoken, the woman he loved looked at him resentfully. How could Xuanyuan Yu not want to give a proper answer? No one would believe that he had been a good person all these years without any enemies.
However, none of his enemies could behead him.
“When I took the position of Emperor Wu’an, I had already eliminated all my enemies. It’s impossible for anyone to be left behind and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on me.”
“As for the rest, I’ve only beheaded a few corrupt officials. Those people’s bloodlines probably don’t have the ability to take revenge on me!”
Xuanyuan Yu had really not done anything overboard all these years. Bai Wan frowned. “Think about it carefully. Are there really no more enemies?”
What they needed to do now was to find someone who might be a threat to Xuanyuan Yu. At least for now, they could get the secret guards to keep an eye on him.
Xuanyuan Yu knew that they were all worried about his safety, but he really couldn’t think of any enemies.
“Wanwan, I really can’t think of anything else.”
Yun Ran looked at the snow outside the hall. The snow had stopped for a few days and was starting to drift again.
Logically speaking, Xuanyuan Yu’s death must have been beneficial to that person. That was why that person had attacked.
If he wasn’t an enemy, why did that person want to kill Xuanyuan Yu?
Yun Ran’s gaze landed on Xuanyuan Yu’s black dragon robe embroidered with dragon patterns. She paused. Could it be that he wanted the position of Emperor Wu’an?
“Yu, are you sure that there are only you and the Eldest Princess left in the royal family of Wu’an? Are there no other princes or princes?”
Xuanyuan Yu replied, “No, the person above me is very suspicious. He killed more than ten of his sons because he was worried that those sons would snatch his throne, let alone his siblings. He found a reason to kill them all.”
As for him and his twin sister, it was also because they could not pose any threat that they were not harmed by the old emperor.
In other words, they could not identify anyone who would harm Xuanyuan Yu in a short period of time.
“Then strengthen the guards in the palace. Both the open and the dark need to be strengthened..”
