Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"Lu Xun, tell me, what's the situation outside?"

"Your Highness, Master did all this for you." Lu Xun's voice was flat and emotionless, like that of a monster without feelings.

Hua Buyan nodded, a knife appeared in his hand, and he casually slashed his own arm.

"Sir!"

"Didn't Grandmother tell you to make sure I was unharmed?"

Lu Xun's eyes flickered with emotion as he watched the blood flowing out continuously. He panicked and his toes twitched slightly.

"You should know, Lu Xun, I am not a normal person."

"If you also try to bind me, what will happen? I'm afraid you can't bear it."

Lu Xun didn't dare to move again.

“Your Highness, it is impossible for me to let you out. This is a death order from our master.”

"Okay, no pressure. Then tell me, what are you doing?"

"Sir..."

Lu Xun looked at the knife in Hua Buyan's hand and still knelt down.

"The master said that if you insist on knowing, he will have his subordinates tell you everything."

"Everything the master has done in his life has been for the sake of the entire Dongyang Kingdom."

Yes, for you!

You have no idea how much the owner has sacrificed!

From the time of the late emperor…

From the time of the previous emperor, it was she who worked hard behind the scenes to maintain the stability of the country.

By the time of the late emperor, the situation had improved somewhat, and the Grand Princess was also relieved.

But Heaven is merciless, disasters keep happening, the national treasury is empty, and foreign powers covet it.

Until five years ago, foreign countries sent envoys to offer New Year's greetings.

They were arrogant and domineering, and no longer took Dongyang seriously.

The Black Armor Guards monitoring them even discovered that the Western Liao and Northern Meng had already formed an alliance.

These two foreign powers are plotting to jointly annex Dongyang!

Furthermore, the Western Liao had already sent a considerable number of spies to Dongyang.

The Grand Princess discussed the matter with the late Emperor overnight.

Finally, the Grand Princess began to fade from the center of imperial power, retreating behind the scenes to amass wealth and support her army.

At that time, a group of people were secretly transferred from all the local armies in Dongyang to form a new army.

The number has now reached 400,000, not including the additional 20,000 Black Armor soldiers trained.

Originally, these people were meant to deal with foreign powers.

Unexpectedly, the Huo family army appeared like a divine force, defeating both the Western Liao and Northern Mongols simultaneously with their thunderous attacks.

Now, this army will be used to deal with the Huo family.

"The 200,000-strong army was just a test. Now it seems that the Huo family no longer has the Thunderclap Bomb and is not worth fearing."

Hong Kang has held off the Beigong army. The combined forces of the Northwest and the Northern Frontier number only 200,000. Once they arrive, they will be defeated one by one. The Grand Princess has made perfect plans, and the Huo family army has no chance of winning.

Then, the world will truly be at peace.

Your Highness, Huo Jingya is just an insignificant part of your life. Wait two more years…

Lu Xun's voice was interrupted.

The sounds of fighting broke out outside again.

This time, the people who came were no ordinary people; several Black Armor Guards died in succession.

It's a prayer!

"Qi Bai! You're really confused!" Lu Xun rushed out and shouted.

"You're the fool! Today, I will definitely take the prince away!"

"Hmph! You've ruined your future!"

"You are the one who is ruining your future! The Yan family has lost the hearts of the people, and the Grand Princess is an imposter! Stop being so stubborn!"

"Qi Bai, Qi Bai." Lu Xun shook his head, his eyes filled with condescending mockery and arrogant self-importance.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting in my seat! You idiot! The Grand Princess is a fake, but the Crown Prince is real!"

What do you mean?

Before anyone could figure out what he meant, Lu Xun had already ordered Qi Bai and the men he brought to be killed.

"stop!"

Hua Buyan stood behind a row of people blocking his way, coldly observing everything before him.

As before, there was no emotion in his eyes.

But Qi Bai had seen how he looked in front of Huo Jingya; the light in his eyes was more dazzling than the stars in the night.

The young master in the Hua family mansion has no soul.

Qi Bai felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He couldn't help but shout, "Your Highness! The mistress is still here! She sent us to ask you whether you are willing to let her kidnap and threaten the Grand Princess?"

Everyone: "..."

She's still there.

A faint smile flickered in the boy's eyes.

Only Xiaoya could ask such a strange question.

My gaze swept over the high wall, and I could almost see the figure fighting among the crowd.

How many more wounds have appeared on her body?

"I don't want to."

"Let's go, let's go to her side."

"She is here, you are here."

"If she dies, you die."

Hua Buyan stared at Qi Bai, her eyes conveying an unquestionable command and an unwavering trust.

Qi Bai almost burst into tears.

He cannot betray the Crown Prince's trust!

Qi Bai stopped trying to force his way through and led his men to break out of the encirclement again.

Hua Buyan instructed Xiaoyu, who was biting her lip beside her.

"I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and bring me a meal I like, four dishes and a soup will do."

He had not eaten for several days, and Xiaoyu was very excited when she heard this.

"Get out of my way! Do you want to starve the young master to death?" he shouted angrily at the black-armored guards blocking his way.

Lu Xun shook his head, signaling for someone to follow him.

"Lu Xun, come in and tell me what you meant by what you just said."

Hua Buyan entered the house.

"Your Highness! Since you've asked, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Lu Xun was the Grand Princess's sharpest blade; he controlled everything.

Although he usually follows his master silently like a mute, his arrogance and disdain for everything are undeniable.

His arrogance naturally has its origins.

"Your Highness, I must say that everything the master did was for you, it's true."

"The rumors circulating outside are also true."

"Although the master is not a real princess, she is the late emperor's real mother."

"And the Prince of the County is also the late Emperor's full brother!"

"The Hua family is merely a place where the master resides."

She and the head of the Hua family were always a sham couple, each getting what they wanted from the other.

"Your Highness, you are a true prince and grandson of the emperor!"

The Grand Princess's support for the young emperor is merely paving the way for you.

By now, King Huaishan should have already slaughtered all the royal family members in the palace!

"Your Highness, you are destined to be the emperor! Your master will pave the way for you and ensure that you ascend the throne cleanly and without reprieve."

You must not let her hard work go to waste!

Lu Xun knelt down and bowed deeply.

The face hidden behind the mask held a smug sense of certainty and victory.

The crown prince is the emperor.

He will be a meritorious minister who assists the emperor!

In the future, I will appear in front of people with dignity and power.

This was promised by the owner.

"I see."

Hua Buyan seemed to smile slightly.

But it also seems like he wasn't smiling.

It turns out that even the bond between grandparents and grandchildren was fake.

He is not the only legitimate grandson of the Hua family.

Yes, the royal family, the chosen one, that branch of power.
