Chapter 698 - 698: Five Years (2)



The commoners shouted enthusiastically in unison, “Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!”

Countless voices gathered and resounded through the sky.

Chu Yi’s horse stopped four to five feet away from Xia Houqing. He looked at Xia Houqing from afar and smiled. The two of them cupped their hands at each other and galloped side by side in the direction of the palace.

The aura of the two young men was completely different. Chu Yi was elegant and noble, like a bright moon, like an intoxicating spring breeze. Xia Houqing was as enchanting and flamboyant as the Red Spider Lily.

The two of them walked side by side, the horse under them galloping at a leisurely pace.

Everyone who welcomed them followed Chu Yi and Xia Houqing with their gazes and watched them walk further and further away.

In the crowd, someone said slowly, “Why do I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to know the Regent of the State of Yue?”

“Isn’t this very normal?” Another person beside him shouted, “Our His Highness the Crown Prince once stayed in the State of Yue for eight years. Isn’t it natural for him to know Xia Houqing?”

“Then the States of Jin and Yue shouldn’t fight anymore, right?”

Amidst various speculations, Chu Yi and Xia Houqing rode their horses and walked far away. Their figures disappeared from the palace door.

Chu Yi and Xia Houqing passed through Great Jin’s gate, Chengtian Gate, and Meridian Gate. They got off at Taihe Gate and changed to walking.

This wasn’t the first time Xia Houqing had come to the capital, but it was the first time he had come to the palace of the Great Jin.

The rising sun sprinkled warm sunlight. The surrounding palaces had red walls and yellow tiles, carved railings and painted buildings, flying eaves, and horns. The golden glass tiles above the roof shone, gorgeous and magnificent, giving off the solemnity and might of a royal family.

Xia Houqing walked forward leisurely, his demonic phoenix eyes dark and mysterious.

The palace of the Great Jin was left behind by the previous dynasty.

57 years ago, after Emperor Taizu, Emperor Chu Jing, established the Great Jin Dynasty, he set the capital as the capital. He didn’t build another palace, but directly used the Forbidden City of the previous dynasty.

His father and grandfather dreamed of returning to this forbidden city.

They all felt that this place should belong to their Wei family.

“Heli…”

Xia Houqing’s demonic red lips curled into a treacherous smile. With a light flick of his sleeve, he took out something from his wide sleeve and threw it to Chu Yi beside him without any reluctance…

“Catch!”

The fist-sized jade seal drew a curve in midair.

Chu Yi smiled calmly and raised his hand to take the jade seal. Even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows didn’t move.

A few steps behind, Xia Houqing’s relative, Jing Shan, saw this scene. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. This was the jade seal of the Son of Heaven of the State of Yue.

Xia Houqing smiled faintly and said, “What you wanted.”

As he spoke, he continued walking forward. His deep gaze looked at the throne room in front of him, and the demonic smile on his face deepened. “Chu Yi, you kept the agreement, and 1 fulfilled my promise.”

“But… whether you can get it depends on yourself.”

“What are your plans?”

Xia Houqing casually raised his hand and brushed away a petal floating on his shoulder. He straightened his sleeves, which were embroidered with dark patterns.

The meaning of his words just now seemed to be saying that he wouldn’t help Chu Yi.

Chu Yi casually played with the Horned Dragon New Jade Seal. This casual action was done by him, elegant and natural.

It was naturally impossible to say that Chu Yi had already taken down the State of Yue with just this jade seal. This thing was just a symbol, representing Xia Houqing’s attitude.

Chu Yi curled his lips and smiled. He only spat out a few words calmly, “One force defeats ten.”

The words were extremely domineering.

Xia Houqing was first stunned before laughing out loud. His smile was enchanting, crazy, and wanton. His red clothes fluttered in the wind like a raging fire.

“Pa! Pa!”

He clapped his hands happily and couldn’t help but laugh for a long time. His smile revealed a gloating feeling.

“I don’t know what those people in the State of Yue were thinking back then, those who believed that Prince Yi had a pure heart and returning him to the country would cause chaos within the State of Jin, leading to mutual destruction of the State of Jin’s royal family. Were those who thought that the State of Yue could seize the opportunity to take down the State of Jin just blind…” Xia Houqing seemed to be praising Chu Yi while also undermining him.

“Sure, sure,” Chu Yi said with a smile. His smile was like a spring breeze caressing his face, only treating these as praises from Xia Houqing.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived outside Yangxin Hall.

How boring. Xia Houqing curled his lips and thought to himself, “This Prince Yi is really scheming.”

The two of them arrived at the west side hall of Yangxin Hall and sat down. An inner servant immediately served the two of them wine..
