Zither Emperor Chapter 971 Chapter 310 Prince Rui Qin Part 1

971: Chapter 310: Prince Rui Qin (Part 1) 971: Chapter 310: Prince Rui Qin (Part 1) Ye Yinzhu said, “Since I promised him, I’m not afraid that he’ll spread the news.

After all, he is your father, and I can vaguely guess his thoughts.

By making Siqin the heir to the Landias Empire, not only can he win us over and gain the favor of Qin City, but he also essentially earns the support of Master Aubrey.

By stirring up conflicts between us and the Milan Empire, or even causing rifts, Landias can survive more easily.

My father-in-law probably knows that we’ll guess his motives, but his smartest move is that even though we can guess it, we have no choice but to cooperate with him.

After all, the holy war is more important than anything, and I will have to promise with him to a certain extent.

As for his earlier proposal to let you inherit the throne, that was just an outrageous initial demand, a strategy of bidding high and settling for less.”

Sura stared blankly at Ye Yinzhu, “If you know all this, why did you agree to his terms?”

Ye Yinzhu explained, “Although my father-in-law is meticulous, he isn’t me and can’t see the issue from my perspective.

Yes, this time we can say we were used by him, but there are two definite points, one is his guilt and familial affection for you are not feigned.

For your sake, what does it hurt to give in a little?

Secondly, he isn’t just using Siqin; it’s a gamble, putting all his bets on Siqin.

To our son, he will only offer endless care and guidance.

This isn’t a bad thing for Siqin.

From my perspective, Siqin inheriting the throne of the Landias Empire would certainly make Landias no longer threatened by the Milan Empire, but don’t forget, Siqin inherits my bloodline, my ancestors are from the Eastern Dragon.

Isn’t this indirectly allowing our Eastern Dragon Empire to rise again with the revival of Ryuzakinus, re-establishing control?

Uncle Silvio is Grandfather Qin Shang’s son, also inheriting our Eastern Dragon bloodline, holding the two empires in our hands, that’s another form of unification.

As for my father-in-law’s wish to provoke a conflict between Qin City and the Milan Empire, I’m afraid he will be disappointed, as our next stop is to head to Milan City.

Having reached such an agreement, I must notify Uncle Silvio.”

Sura breathed a sigh of relief, “Now that you’ve thought it through, I feel at ease.

He really has aged.

Yinzhu, after the holy war is over, would you be willing to e back with me to see him again?

And bring Siqin and Lianqin to see him too.”

What Maximo said today, though it had not pletely eliminated the rift between him and Sura, had softened her heart.

The current Sura, with the love of Yinzhu and the happiness that the children brought, was no longer so introverted.

“Of course we can.

Sura, you know, I’m very happy to see you like this now.

Let’s go, we’ll head back to the inn to rest, and first thing tomorrow morning, we’ll set off for Milan City.”

…

The sunlight shone upon the land, casting a faint golden light over Milan City, an ancient and massive metropolis.

Early in the morning, the atmosphere in the Milan Imperial Palace was somewhat tense.

Emperor Sylvio of Milan was in his bedchamber, having summoned Marshall Xi Duofu, who had just returned to the Imperial Capital, for a discussion.

“Announcing, Your Majesty, Marshal Xi Duofu has arrived.”

“Please, let him in.”

Xi Duofu walked in with his head held high, the Spear of Milan.

pared to last time Ye Yinzhu saw him, although there were a few more silver hairs on his head, his back was still straight, his spirit robust, and his eyes, sharp and manding, were formidable without anger.

Since the trip to Martin, Emperor Sylvio had relied even more on Xi Duofu, and of course, to this moment, Emperor Sylvio did not know Xi Duofu’s secret of being descended from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

About this, Qin Shang, although he had recognized this son, did not tell him.

After all, Sylvio was the Emperor of the Milan Empire.

“Greetings, Your Majesty,” Xi Duofu bowed in salutation.

Emperor Sylvio had issued a pardon early on, stating that Marshal Xi Duofu need not perform a kneeling salute in any circumstance and could bear arms upon entering His Majesty’s presence.

“No need for formalities, Marshal.

Please take a seat,” Emperor Sylvio was dressed simply today, cloaking himself in a robe of bright yellow, giving off a more approachable aura than Emperor Maximo’s majesty and force.

In the bedchamber, aside from Emperor Sylvio and the just arrived Marshal Xi Duofu, there was another person.

A child.

This child sat on Emperor Sylvio’s lap, dressed identically to Sylvio, only in miniature.

With long black hair silently draped over his shoulders, the child appeared to be about four years old.

Most remarkable, however, were his large black eyes—dark and bright, like lustrous onyx stones.

Those shining black eyes did not reflect the innocence one would expect, but instead a surprising clarity and depth.

“Hello, Grandfather Xi Duofu,” the little boy hopped down from Emperor Sylvio’s lap and gave Xi Duofu a very proper court salute.

“I dare not accept such courtesy, Crown Prince.” Xi Duofu quickly stepped aside, not accepting the boy’s salute.

The boy didn’t insist and calmly moved to sit on a chair nearby, unlike children of his age who would be frolicsome and playful.

Sylvio’s gaze swept over the boy not with the expected gentleness but with pride.

Yes, it was a look of pride.

As if this boy was the brightest highlight of his life.

“Your Majesty, has anything serious happened to call me here early in the morning?” asked Xi Duofu.

Xi Duofu held a very high position in the empire, even senior to Sylvio, and had made outstanding contributions, so even Emperor Sylvio had to show him some respect.

The fact that the Milan Empire had managed to withstand the attack from the Landias alliance was largely due to Xi Duofu, who had been defending the south.

His achievements were truly remarkable.

With his formidable strength and mand ability, he had managed to keep Milan’s territory intact.

Although he was a marshal, he had also been conferred a king’s title by Sylvio.

He could be regarded as the foremost amongst the Empire’s dignitaries.

“Indeed, something has happened.

I’ve just received a magic munication.

Last night, the Landias Empire announced overnight that they have appointed Moratti’s son, Siqin, as the Crown Prince,” said Sylvio.

A sharp glint flashed in Xi Duofu’s eyes.

“Siqin Moratti?

Has Maximo finally decided on a Crown Prince?

Who is this Phoenix Princess?

Maximo has several sons; why would he appoint a daughter’s child as Crown Prince?”

Xi Duofu, due to his many years in military service, was not familiar with the intricacies of court matters.

Although Sura was known as the most beautiful woman in Landias, not many in the Milan Empire knew of her.

Xi Duofu smiled wryly and explained, “Because this Siqin Moratti has another name, Ye Siqin.

His father is our Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu.”

Xi Duofu was greatly surprised.

“Your Majesty, are you sure?

Maximo, Maximo has actually allowed Ye Yinzhu’s son to bee the Crown Prince of the Landias Empire?

This is utterly inconceivable.”

Sylvio smiled bitterly, “When I first received this news, my reaction was the same as yours, inconceivable.

However, after Rui Qin analyzed it for me, I understood the intentions of that old man, Maximo.

It truly is about putting oneself in a desperate situation to seek life thereafter!

Rui Qin, you explain it to Grandfather Xi Duofu.”

Sylvio unexpectedly turned over the right to explain to a child who appeared to be only around four years old, and Marshal Xi Duofu did not seem surprised at all.

“Please enlighten me, Prince Rui Qin.”

Prince Rui Qin smiled faintly and said, “Emperor Maximo’s purpose is very direct and straightforward.

He wants to use the kinship between himself and the wife of Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu to create a breathing space for the Landias Empire, even a chance to rise again.

At first glance, it seems as if Emperor Maximo has made a foreigner his Crown Prince, but that’s not the case.

The Phoenix Princess is his daughter, and although this Ye Siqin possesses the blood of Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu, he also has the legacy of the Moratti Family.

Thus, by blood, he is not an outsider.

With this as a basis, given Emperor Maximo’s dominance, he could possibly gain the support of both the Landias officials and the royal family.

Of course, this is a result of the pressure our country has put on Landias, making their royal family promise with their emperor.”

“Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu, after having disappeared for three years, only returned to Faran a few months ago.

Even though he was absent for three years, his prestige on the continent didn’t decline.

During his absence, Emperor Zi of the Beastman Clan even went to Faran in person to demand his return, and he was even willing to start a war with Faran, which shows just how close his relationship with Zither Emperor Ye Yinzhu is.

Even though the situation eventually calmed down, he publicly announced that he would be the godfather to Ye Yinzhu’s three children.

According to the information we’ve received, Ye Siqin is the one among Ye Yinzhu’s three children who has demonstrated the greatest mand abilities.

Although he is only three years old, he is already showing great promise.

His godfather is the Light Tower Master, Aubrey.

One could say he is the darling of thousands.

If such a person bees the future heir to the Landias Empire, even if Faran and the Beastman Clan will not support him, they will certainly not do anything to his disadvantage.

As for Qin City, with Ye Yinzhu’s direct connection, they too would be unable to be hostile toward Landias.

Emperor Maximo has killed several birds with one stone.

Such a choice, albeit a reluctant one, is currently the best possible situation for Landias given its current state.”

Xi Duofu couldn’t help but say, “But, in that case, how will we be able to deal with Landias in the future?

In terms of national strength, we are not much different from Landias.

Our country’s biggest advantage lies in the support of Qin City and our trade with the Beastman Clan.”(To be continued, for what happens next, please visit .
