It turned out that his father had been thinking of him before he died.
At this moment, Luo Cheng’s heart warmed.
However, this warmth came too late!
Luo Cheng put away the letter and looked at the leader of the Dark Dragon Guards.
“My father should have explained it to you guys already! You guys came at the right time. Tell me about the current situation in the capital!”
The leader of the Dark Dragon Guards nodded and told his subordinates to guard the surroundings. Then, he lowered his voice and told Luo Cheng about the situation in the capital.
It turned out that the late emperor’s health had been deteriorating since long ago.
The late emperor had predicted that the princes would attack, but he was caught off guard by the fact that the Eldest Princess would side with Prince Fu and stab him in the back.
It could be said that if not for the Eldest Princess’ help, Prince Fu wouldn’t have been able to sit on the throne so easily.
After explaining the situation in the capital, the leader of the Dark Dragon
Guards suggested, “Mr. Luo, the Eldest Princess’s faction has to be eliminated. As long as we deal with the Eldest Princess, it will be much easier for us to deal with Prince Fu!”
“It’s not that simple! The Eldest Princess isn’t that easy to kill, and Prince Fu isn’t as weak as you think!” Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “We don’t have enough manpower, so it’s not easy to fight head-on. Let’s use other methods! Now isn’t the time to fight head-on!”
When the leader of the Dark Dragon Guards heard Luo Cheng’s words, he didn’t say anything else.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “You guys can go rest first! Rest well. I’ll tell you guys what to do next tomorrow!”
The leader of the Dark Dragon Guards nodded and retreated.
After Zi Zheng saw him leave, he asked softly, “Mr. Luo, are the Dark Dragon Guards reliable?”
“We’ll know if they’re reliable or not after we test them!” Luo Cheng said.
Zi Zheng nodded and didn’t say anything else.
Mr. Luo probably knew what to do, so there was no need to say anything else.
That night, Luo Cheng had a good sleep. Then, he packed up early the next morning and went straight to the imperial mausoleum with a group of guards.
The late emperor had already been buried, so Luo Cheng naturally had to go to the imperial mausoleum.
Luo Cheng’s move caught Prince Fu off guard.
By the time he reacted, Luo Cheng was already on his way to the imperial mausoleum.
“Your Majesty, what should we do now?” a eunuch asked respectfully.
Prince Fu sneered when he heard the eunuch’s words.
“Does he think the imperial mausoleum is safe? Let him accompany his old father in the imperial mausoleum!”
Luo Cheng waited for the assassins sent by Prince Fu along the way, but no one appeared even when he reached the door of the imperial mausoleum.
Looking at the imperial mausoleum in front of him, Luo Cheng already had a guess.
It seemed that the imperial mausoleum wasn’t a safe place!
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and led his men into the imperial mausoleum.
Li Xiaoran waited silently in the cave. It seemed to be a safe place, but it wasn’t.
It turned out that the Eldest Princess had already set up spies nearby. Once they found anyone suspicious, someone would send a message to her.
When the Eldest Princess learned that Li Xiaoran had appeared nearby, she guessed that Luo Cheng’s secret hiding place must be nearby, so she had been secretly searching nearby.
Because messenger pigeons had been coming and going to send messages, the other party actually reached the edge of the cliff.
Li Xiaoran suddenly sensed a lot of nervous emotions coming from outside, so she stood up.
When Zi Cheng saw Li Xiaoran suddenly stand up, he quickly became vigilant.
“Madam, what’s wrong?”
“Some people are coming. There are many of them, and they’re coming in our direction! It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered!” Li Xiaoran’s expression turned solemn.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt a familiar aura and her expression changed.
“The Eldest Princess is here!”
“What?” Zi Zheng was shocked when he heard this.
At this moment, the Eldest Princess’s voice sounded.
“Li Xiaoran, I know you’re nearby! Why? Luo Cheng has already gone to the capital. How can you hide here on your own?! On account that you saved my life in the past, I’ll bring you to see Luo Cheng and let you two get together.
How about that?”
Everyone in the cave heard her and stood up in vigilance.
Li Xiaoran gestured for them to wait quietly.
After saying this, the Eldest Princess waited for a long time, but there was no response, so she smiled.
“As expected, when disaster strikes, husband and wife go their separate ways! I thought you were a loyal person, but I didn’t expect you to be so selfish!”
With that, the Eldest Princess clapped her hands and asked someone to bring out two people.
“It’s fine if you don’t come out, consort! However, I invited your best friends over today to have a good gathering with you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Eldest Princess looked at the person beside her.
The Eldest Princess’s subordinate understood what she meant and unlocked Meng Yan’s acupoints.
After Meng Yan’s acupoints were unsealed, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing this, the Eldest Princess snorted and said, “Make her speak! If she doesn’t speak, I will punish her man!”
When Meng Yan heard this, tears fell from her eyes as she looked at Ma Chongshan, who wasn’t far away.
Ma Chongshan seemed to know what Meng Yan was thinking and he smiled at her, as if he was encouraging her.
“Speak, or I will stab your man now!” The Eldest Princess said as she took out a knife from the person beside her and slashed at Ma Chongshan.
“No, no!” Meng Yan exclaimed.
Besides, Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan were her friends after all, so as soon as these two people appeared, she sensed their emotions and heard their thoughts.
“Consort, you should have heard it too! Your good friend, Meng Yan, is in my hands now! I’ll give you half an hour. If you don’t appear in front of me obediently, I’ll kill Ma Chongshan! If you don’t come out after that, I’ll have to kill Meng Yan!” The Eldest Princess shouted.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately clenched her fists and bit her lips in hatred.
“Zi Cheng, is there any other entrance in this cave other than this one at the edge of the cliff?”
“Madam, you can’t! I promised Mr. Luo that I wouldn’t let you take the risk!”
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said firmly, “No, if I don’t go out, with the Eldest
Princess’s personality, she will definitely kill Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan! Therefore, I have to go out!”
