Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 918: Zhang Ronghua of the Asura Arena gave up everything

Chapter 918: Zhang Ronghua of the Asura Arena gave up everything

Just like the military.

The Xia Empire’s military power was completely in the hands of the Xia Emperor. Whoever dared to touch it would have their hands chopped off and then uprooted. Even if some people hid very well, they would not be able to cause any waves.

Only by holding military power and having top-notch martial strength could one sit firmly on the dragon throne and stand firm, making all the factions wary.

” I’m here!” Zhang Ronghua’s voice sounded from outside the hall.” I, Zhang Ronghua, wish to see you!”

The Crown Prince’s eyes gleamed. His hands that were hidden under the flood dragon robe clenched tightly together, silently musing that he had finally arrived. Waving his hand, Qing `er walked over and opened the palace door. She moved aside and waited for him to enter before closing the door.

He walked closer.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Zhang Ronghua bowed.

He observed his expression.

The hall was filled with a somber and heavy atmosphere. It was as if two mountains were pressing down on their shoulders, making it difficult for them to breathe. As expected, something big had happened.

“Go and stand guard outside the palace,” the Crown Prince instructed.

“Yes, sir!” The Green Girl replied respectfully.

He quickly left Shang Wen Hall and stood guard outside.

Shuang ‘er took out the formation disk and opened the formation in the hall. Spiritual light flowed and blocked the formation. Even if others used their hearing abilities to eavesdrop, they would not be able to get any information.

” I have a mission for you to do,” the Crown Prince said seriously.” This mission is very dangerous. With your intelligence and what happened a while ago, you should have guessed something.”

Zhang Ronghua’s mind spun quickly. He thought of the last time when the Crown Prince had asked him to retrieve the Sacred Soul Fruit. Fortunately, he had not failed to bring it back. However, things had developed beyond his expectations. Although he did not know why, he had been completely defeated in his confrontation with the Empress. If it had not been for Emperor Xia, Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er would have been banished to the Education Bureau. Even so, the price they had to pay seemed to be very high.

“You and the Empress?” he asked after a moment of silence.

At this stage, it was not possible to hide it just because he wanted to.

The Crown Prince had never looked down on anyone, especially Zhang Ronghua. He was smarter than anyone else and could guess the general situation with just a little clue.

Rather than hiding it, hiding it, and asking him to do things, not to mention having a gap in his heart, even if he agreed, he might not be able to use his full strength. It was better to fake it so that he could not tell the truth.

After careful consideration, Zhang Ronghua had already left his mark on him. No matter what, he was still a member of the Eastern Palace. No one could erase him. Both sides would rise or fall together.

Other than that.

There were still many ways to use Zhang Ronghua in the future. He couldn’t find excuses every time, right? Once or twice, he could still muddle through, but as time passed, he would eventually be exposed. At that time, it would be the day of their breakup.

Instead of doing this, it was better to make it clear from the beginning and fight with them in secret.

The Crown Prince said solemnly,” Listen to everything I say today, but remember it in your heart. No matter who it is, don’t leak a single word. If word gets out, I won’t make a move, but they will.”

“I understand.”

“Mother is too greedy for power and wants me to listen to her arrangements.”

As expected, it was just as he had guessed.

If that was the case, why didn’t the Crown Prince tell Emperor Xia when he was humiliated? With the Emperor’s power, even if the Empress was powerful, she would not dare to show herself. Otherwise, she would die a miserable death. However, he did not say anything. There must be something hidden inside.

Even if he asked, His Majesty would hide it. Why would he tell him?

However, it did not stop him from beating around the bush.

“Your Majesty, you don’t know?” Zhang Ronghua asked seriously.

“Father doesn’t know.” The Crown Prince shook his head.

He took the initiative to change the topic, afraid that Zhang Ronghua would ask again.

” As the Crown Prince, I have been studying hard since I was a child. I worked hard to improve myself and learn the strategy of governing the country. I dare not slack off in the past few years. I am afraid that in the future, Great Xia will be trapped in fire and water, causing countless people to be homeless.”

The tone of his voice changed. He was passionate and determined.

“However, Mother is a woman and not of the royal bloodline. She actually wants to take over the power. I will definitely not agree! Even if this path is difficult, I will persist and fight against them to the end to protect the dignity of the royal family.”

The crown prince said as he stared at Zhang Ronghua with a sharp gaze.

“All these years, whether it’s you or your parents, I’ve done a good job. Power, money, treasures, cultivation resources, I’ve given them all! Now is the time to use people. I want to be certain. Do you dare to fight with me to the end?”

This day would come sooner or later.

Zhang Ronghua didn’t expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly. It seemed that this matter was very big. The Crown Prince had chosen to lay his cards on the table. From this, it seemed that he was prepared to play a secret game.

If they refused, they would be cut off from each other and go their separate ways. Who knows, they might turn against each other one day and meet each other with swords.

To be honest.

Just as the Crown Prince had said, he treated him well. He had given him the Vermillion Bird Lane’s mansion, the businesses under it, and most of the Numinous treasures he had.

Personally, he had a deep grudge with them. When he rejected the Empress in the Ningxin Palace, his attitude was already clear. After he touched Bai Yichang, he had even shed all pretense of cordiality. There was no room for negotiation.

Turn around and kneel to survive? This was not his personality!

Speaking of which, both sides had a common enemy. At least before Ji Xueyan’s matter was exposed, they would work together to get rid of the Empress. In the future, they would have to rely on their own methods.

If that day really came, whether it was the Crown Prince or him, they would not show mercy.

The two of them had one thing in common. They treated their enemies ruthlessly until they were completely destroyed, not giving their opponents a chance to breathe.

“No matter what you do, I will support you unwaveringly!”
