Chapter 1667: Chapter 1687: The Imperial Edict is Coming
The Royal City of the Divine Dynasty is located in the central region of the Divine World Continent. The city is simply called the Royal City, with no other na. It is ho to the King, as well as various dukes and marquises.
It is the epicenter of power in the entire divine realm, brimming with talented individuals, and extraordinarily prosperous.
It can be said that there is no place under the heavens more flourishing and thriving than the Royal City.
The Royal City is unimaginably vast, to the point that so inhabitants have lived their entire lives without ever traveling from East City to West Town because the city is so imnse and boundless.
Furthermore, the Royal City has many restrictions, such as forbidding flying, private fights, sleeping on the streets, unauthorized building construction, and so on. In short, living here ans adhering to all sorts of rules!
The residents of the Royal City take pride in living there, for they are beneath the King’s feet.
Perhaps due to the King’s lengthy rule, all the divine beings of the divine realm have gradually co to perceive the King as the ruler of the divine realm, accepting the hierarchy and lifestyle of the divine realm!
There is only one dynasty in the world, only one King, and the divine realm belongs to the King!
Although the King has many won, he hasn’t fathered any children for many years. He only has seven sons and seven daughters.
The eldest son was nad Crown Prince, while the others were all given the title of Duke.
The King often goes into seclusion or embarks on hunting trips, so the Crown Prince handles palace affairs. The Crown Prince exercises the King’s power on minor matters, but major matters are decided by the Three Dukes and other Dukes, with those unresolved reported to the King.
On this day, the Crown Prince was in the King’s study, engrossed in a Jade Simple, a secret report about Princess.
After reading the Jade Simple, he smiled, wondering if Princess dared to put a green hat on his father.
Of course, he only dared to ponder this in his mind, not saying it aloud to anyone, as the walls have ears in the palace, filled with the King’s people, and any misconduct on his part would lead his father to likely kill him!
The Crown Prince is well aware of his father’s ruthlessness.
“Xiao Ke, co in!” The Crown Prince, after contemplating alone for a mont, called out to soone outside the door.
A young eunuch scurried in, bowing and saying, “What would you like, my lord?”
This young eunuch was his servant, not his father’s, soone he could trust!
“Help check the Imperial Law Code and find a way to deal with that… that person beside Princess!”
“That person is called Jordan Webb!” Xiao Ke imdiately replied. “Jordan Webb has been the most talked-about figure in years. He hasn’t entered the court or the city yet, but many in the city are aware of him, many are curious about how long Jordan Webb can live!”
“Yes, yes, Jordan Webb. Find the law and deal with him. Even though Father has not issued an order, allowing Princess to have her way, as a son, I cannot sit idly by. We can’t kill, but we can offend Princess, can’t we? And amuse Father while we’re at it!”
“Why bother with the law? When it cos to undermining people, that’s my forte!” Xiao Ke, also a eunuch, excelled at such underhanded tactics. They could handle three adversaries at a ti!
“Oh? So, tell , how do we deal with Jordan Webb? We can’t kill him, nor offend Princess outright. What’s your plan?” the Crown Prince asked curiously.
“Just issue an order to castrate him, such a simple matter. Issue a secret decree, suggesting that an outsider around Princess causes inconvenience and rumors. Although the King won’t comnt, to silence the chatter, make Jordan Webb beco like us eunuchs, then there would be no more rumors, right? In this way, Jordan Webb isn’t dead, and Princess has no grounds for objection, right? If she tries to stop it, then she has sothing to hide, so she can’t stop it!”
“And after having Jordan Webb castrated, the King will also have a laugh. Moreover, we can plant a symbol in his soul. That symbol will prevent his body from regenerating, so he must remain a eunuch for life!”
“Brilliant, brilliant, Xiao Ke, your plan is truly sinister!” The Crown Prince laughed heartily. The young eunuch’s knack for undermining people was impressive!
“I have little else to offer, my lord. If I don’t worry for you, who will?” Xiao Ke bead, eyes wide with delight.
“Understood, then draft the decree!” The Crown Prince, having the authority to draft edicts, quickly had a decree prepared, sealed with the Crown Prince Seal, and handed it to Xiao Ke!
“My lord, Princess is currently on her return journey. Shall we intercept or wait until they return to proclaim the decree?” Xiao Ke asked.
“The sooner, the better. Let’s suppress the rumors. I heard in the secret report that Princess often secretly ets Jordan Webb aboard the treasure ship!”
“Although Princess won’t cheat, ntal infidelity can be more harmful than physical infidelity. We are doing our part to ease Father’s worries!”
“Certainly, my lord. Take care here. I’ll personally attend to it but bring Old Tao from the Dostic Affairs Office. Old Tao, a eunuch, is skilled at castration and planting a root-sealing symbol, making sure that Jordan Webb will never regrow that part!”
“Alright, you handle it!” The Crown Prince nodded.
Xiao Ke accepted the order, then led two guards to the Dostic Affairs Office to find the so-called Old Tao, who was an eunuch specializing in castration, and possessed extraordinarily high cultivation, reaching the Ninth Grade Duke Realm!
The Ninth Grade Duke signifies a Duke Realm level, but only those officially granted the Duke title by the King can be called Duke, others just reach the Duke Realm level but cannot use the title Duke.
The two guards Xiao Ke took with him were also in the Marquis Realm, both Fifth-grade Marquises, super-strong individuals in the palace.
The group of four proceeded to the treasure ship exhibition in the palace, took a small flying treasure ship, and headed Northeast.
…
anwhile, Yusuf Zuck occasionally ets with Princess aboard the flying treasure ship.
Princess seems unconcerned with rumors or the King’s happiness. No one knows what she is thinking, and sotis she invites Yusuf Zuck to her room for casual chats!
Of course, they weren’t close friends, and Princess wasn’t particularly interested in Yusuf Zuck since she was also proud. Ordinary people couldn’t catch her Dharma Eye.
Yusuf Zuck had so mystery, but he wasn’t unusual. Therefore, she approached Yusuf Zuck, deliberately showing herself alone with him, with her own intentions; she intended to show certain people, or perhaps she was using Yusuf Zuck!
Actually, she knew well that Jordan Webb wouldn’t live long, and even she couldn’t save him because the King wouldn’t allow Jordan Webb to live!
However, Jordan Webb’s fate didn’t really concern her, and if he died, it wouldn’t affect her!
On this day, she again called Yusuf Zuck to her room but didn’t speak with him, just painted, ignoring Yusuf Zuck!
Yusuf Zuck had long guessed that Princess was using him to achieve her political or other goals. This woman was not as simple as she appeared, with a seemingly amiable nature but in reality, deeply scheming!
“My Lady, I heard you once took poison with no antidote?” Yusuf Zuck, after sitting silently for a long ti, suddenly asked, hitting the nail on the head, ntioning the King’s least favorite and one of Princess’ biggest taboos!
