In order to stabilize his position as king, Di Jingchen shamelessly asked the Lee family for money.
It had to be noted that these noble families couldn’t stand on their own.
Once one got destroyed, the rest would follow as well.
When the Lee family had gone bankrupt, there were many more that followed—one of them being the Li family whom Di Zhong wanted to be in-laws with.
Most families were already unhappy with the Di and Lee family. Now, the Wu family gave the rest of them the chance to retaliate.
Most importantly, the Wu family was now close with the prime minister and were also friends with the Cheng family who could keep the Li family under control.
With all these relations, the millions of dollars needed for compensation were soon dealt with by sacrificing the other families.
However, no one trusted the royal family and the king.
Di Jingchen, who just became king, had never been happy for even a day. Seeing how the fall of the Lee family solved the problem with the compensation, the people were still asking him to leave.
Di Jingchen locked himself in the palace and refused to give up on the throne.
He tried asking for help from the Li family, but the Li family only wanted to be close to Di Jingxuan’s family. Why should they be bothered to help the family who pissed off Di Jingxuan?
In the end, after being king for 14 days, when all of the staff in the palace had left, including the bodyguards, Di Jingchen couldn’t take it anymore.
He already lost sleep for three nights. The people who were asking him to leave had allowed the Wu family into the palace.
The next morning, he dressed up, and without even knocking on the door, he walked into Di Zhong’s bedroom.
Ever since Di Zhong renounced his throne, he never stepped out of his room.
Di Jingchen did not look for him either.
This was because Di Zhong did not give him any suggestions.
In the beginning, he hated how Di Zhong was mean to him.
Di Zhong was willing to help Di Jingan but refused to even give him one small suggestion.
But, he recently learned that it wasn’t that his grandfather didn’t want to help him. It was because they already reached a dead end from the very beginning.
Their enemies were too strong.
Di Zhong’s room was dark, and only the night lamp was turned on.
When Di Jingchen stepped forward, he almost screamed when he saw Di Zhong.
This was because Di Zhong had always kept his body healthy. For years, he followed the strict diet given by his dietician and exercised.
Even when he was already 91 years old, he was still a healthy old man who only looked 70 years old.
But now, after only one week, Di Zhong looked completely different.
He was skinny and dry. He looked like a wilting plant.
Di Zhong was lying on his bed. Di Jingchen felt that Di Zhong wasn’t doing this on purpose. It was because Di Zhong could no longer stand.
Then, Di Jingchen noticed that there was a huge LED screen opposite Di Zhong.
In the LED screen, Xie Qingyan was helping Di Jingxuan put on his tie.
The room that they were in looked even more extravagant than the palace. Everything in the room seemed like a piece of art.
Seeing how Di Jingchen was inside the room, Di Jingxuan glanced at him and did not say a word.
It was Di Jingchen who couldn’t hold it in as he shouted, “Big brother!”
However, Di Jingxuan acted as if he didn’t hear anything.
“What are you doing here?” Di Zhong asked instead.
Di Jingchen thought that his grandfather was discussing the throne with his big brother. Then, he quickly said, “Grandfather, all of the staff in the palace has left. The citizens have also stomped into the palace.”
