“What’s going on?! What’s going on?!”
“Are we being attacked? Are we?!”
“It’s Her Majesty’s tent! Oh my god!”
All the influential families that had acpanied Emperor Wu here panicked and looked very anxious.
But what they saw when they rushed over was —
Countless imperial guards had surrounded the empress dowager’s tent.
With their solemn expressions and the murderous look in their eyes, the atmosphere felt very tense.
Master Dugu and Master Zuo arrived first, followed by Lord Mu and the others.
If the atmosphere had already frightened them, when they saw the damaged tent, they almost fainted!
That was because —
Their emperor was holding his Emperor Sword.
Opposite him, the crown prince was holding his Sky Destroyer.
They stood there, facing each other. The two of them were at loggerheads, and a battle could break out at any moment.
No, it wasn’t going to break out. It was already happening!
That frightening strike was part of their confrontation!
“OMG!”
“Holy crap —”
“This is crazy! I can’t believe it!”
“His Majesty and His Royal Highness are fighting. How —”
What was the reason behind this fight between the emperor and the crown prince?
It could be as small as a quarrel between the father and son, but it could also be as severe as a coup to depose the emperor!!
Immediately, everyone gave Jun Linyuan plicated looks.
And they all forgot to speak…
To them, Jun Linyuan was indeed unfathomably capable, and no one was as suitable a candidate for future emperor as he was, but he was only an emperor-to-be!
How could he draw his sword against his father?!
Had he lost his mind?!
Was the Junwu Empire going to fall into chaos? Many senior officials who had remained neutral were filled with sorrow and started worrying about the empire.
Those who supported Jun Linyuan, such as the head of the Pavilion of the Imperial Library, were worried sick. Sweat trickled down the man’s forehead.
People like Master Dugu and Master Zuo, who opposed Jun Linyuan, were thrilled and could hardly contain their excitement.
Both Emperor Wu and Jun Linyuan were furious.
Energy filled their swords.
The air seemed to freeze again.
Everyone was affected by the tension in the air.
A furious emperor and an equally angry crown prince… It was as if one wrong move and the world would collapse.
Everyone’s hearts were about to jump out of their throats!
“Where’s Her Majesty, the empress dowager?”
Yuan Qian, the head of the Pavilion of the Imperial Library, walked back and forth with trembling fists.
“That’s right. Where’s Her Majesty?”
“Right now, only Her Majesty can stop this fight!”
“But Her Majesty is still unconscious —” The chief steward was so anxious that he thought he was going to have a heart attack.
As a steadfast supporter of Jun Linyuan, the chief steward was obviously on the crown prince’s side. He of all people would like to see the empress dowager show up now to save the day.
But the empress dowager had been so weak even before she made two breakthroughs because of Feng Wu’s fish. She had been stretched so thin by everything, so no matter how loud it was outside, she was still fast asleep.
The chief steward was extremely concerned as he looked at the empress dowager, who was sound asleep.
“Your Majesty, please wake up. Otherwise, the world may have changed the next time you open your eyes!”
