Chapter 437: Qihuang is old, turmoil arises

「My son is dead, Black Dragon. 」

The roar echoed in the icy Dadian, Qihuang glared with furious eyes, staring at the Black Dragon.

It was his son who died, not the Black Dragon's son, not just any cat or dog, nor an insignificant person.

Even if someone from another clan died, Qihuang would not react like this; his most beloved youngest son died, he endured it, but now they are still moving against his other sons—Old Six is dead; will the other sons be next?

Such a thing, Qihuang cannot tolerate, nor let it continue to develop; his sons, two dead, is already enough.

If he does not act, those people really think that, being old, they can bully him at will, test him at will; Qihuang wants them to know that an emperor cannot be insulted, let alone offended.

"Your Majesty, I know, I know..." the Black Dragon replied trembling, he knew the Sixth Prince, but this has already happened, cannot be undone, nor... saved.

Why not look ahead? Why not consider the bigger picture?

"The bigger picture? Is it yours or theirs?" Qihuang coldly stared at the Black Dragon, saying: "I don't care about their bigger picture; since they don't want peace, then I will grant them their wish."

"Anyone who dares to kill my son, all personnel involved, must die."

"Black Dragon, I am ordering you, not consulting you."

Qihuang flicked his sleeve, turned his back on the Black Dragon, and a cold voice came.

I want you to go kill them; you can refuse, and I will have Jing Yuheng do it; since you don't want to be the leader, I believe Jing Yuheng will gladly do it, and my Yusu will also act for me.

"If you are useless, then go bury my son with you."

The Black Dragon displayed might, immediately knelt and kowtowed.

After several kowtows, he knew that Your Majesty was angry, this time truly provoked.

This male lion, finally angered.

The consequences, unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, I receive the order."

"Go, let me see your usefulness, Black Dragon."

The Black Dragon departed dimly; Qihuang then turned, coldly watching the Black Dragon's back.

"Hmph, Black Dragon, have you also become one of them? I hope you were not involved in this matter; otherwise, I will not give you a decent ending."

After a long while.

Jing Yuheng entered this icy Dadian, knelt, and kowtowed.

"Black Dragon Guard Deputy Commander Jing Yuheng pays respects to Your Majesty."

Qihuang sat on the throne, looking down, staring at Jing Yuheng below.

"Rise."

Jing Yuheng slowly rose, not daring to lift his head to look directly.

"Lift your head."

Only then did Jing Yuheng lift his head, meeting Qihuang's eyes.

How icy, how indifferent, how lonely.

Qihuang, old.

Truly old, visibly aged to the naked eye; since the last meeting, this emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty has grown old.

With age advancing, he has not many days left.

"Jing Yuheng, you have always wanted to control the Black Dragon Guard; this time I give you the chance to find the killer of the Sixth and Seventh Princes—can you do it?"

"Your Majesty's command, I dare not disobey, but the Black Dragon Guard..."

Qihuang pressed his hand, saying: "No need to worry about the Black Dragon side; I will grant you privileges, letting you temporarily command the Black Dragon Guard."

"I only need the result; I don't need anything else."

"You, can you do it?"

Upon hearing, Jing Yuheng understood Qihuang's meaning; this emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, aged, his blade's edge dulled.

Those people began to obey outwardly but defy inwardly, or perhaps Qihuang can no longer control the Great Qi Dynasty.

At this point, finding her is to let her control the Black Dragon Guard, this force subordinate to Qihuang gradually slipping from control.

Qihuang had no choice but to find a way to control the Black Dragon Guard; reluctantly, he let her act.

In this, the situation is very complex.

After a brief thought, Jing Yuheng understood why Qihuang did this.

"I can do it."

Jing Yuheng lifted his head, firmly meeting Qihuang's eyes.

At this moment, their gazes clashed.

Qihuang smiled: "Excellent, Jing Yuheng, you are excellent; I await your good news."

"As you command."

Jing Yuheng left with the order, heading to take command of the Black Dragon Guard.

This time, she rightfully took command.

She had long harbored this idea; before, she worried Qihuang would overthink, so she did not act, and the final step, she did not take.

This time, it is different.

The Black Dragon Guard is hers.

Controlling the Black Dragon Guard is tantamount to controlling…… all intelligence inside and outside Wangdu.

The Black Dragon Guard is the secret force of the Great Qi Dynasty, its most loyal force.

"You want to control the Black Dragon Guard; I will not let you have your way."

"Since you want to cause a little chaos, I will grant you your wish."

"Yusu, you must not disappoint me."

He stood up, staring outside.

His icy eyes held no emotion.

Eldest Princess's residence.

Princess Yusu received this news, her pupils constricted.

Her gaze locked onto Jing Yuheng, her body trembling, lips quivering.

"What did you say!"

Princess Yusu grabbed Jing Yuheng's arm, looking at him in disbelief.

At this moment, she could not remain calm.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince is dead, he died inside the palace."

"What!"

Princess Yusu's face darkened, she almost fainted.

She forced herself to stand steady, staring at Jing Yuheng, asking word by word: "Are you sure?"

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince indeed died."

Jing Yuheng briefly described what happened inside the palace, including Qihuang seeking her, letting her command the Black Dragon Guard, and finding the culprit.

Yi Yi Shi told Princess Yusu everything; Qihuang did this merely to let Princess Yusu control everything.

"Your Majesty ordered me to find the culprit."

"Kill without mercy."

Anyone involved in this matter, no matter who, must die.

Qihuang's killing intent was suppressed to the extreme.

The Eldest Princess slowly sat down, closed her eyes, and pondered for a long time.

Opening her eyes again, she said: "Father Emperor ordered you to find the culprit?"

"Yes."

"Go ahead, cause as much chaos in the capital as possible; kill anyone involved."

The Eldest Princess's killing intent surfaced; at this moment, she could no longer remain calm.

The Seventh Prince died; they chose to endure.

This time, they pushed further, acting against the Sixth Prince.

So, what about next time?

Could it be her? Or perhaps other brothers and sisters?

Although they are on bad terms with each other, they cannot allow others to act.

Their fight is their own affair; outsiders cannot intervene.

"Your Highness, what if... the Eldest Prince's side?"

Princess Yusu stood up, coldly saying: "Go ahead and do it; if anything happens, I will take responsibility."

"No matter who it is, do not let them off; do it your way."

"This time, we must make them know that our Qi Family is not something they can manipulate."

"Yes, Your Highness."
