Chapter 1093: Innocent Child, Jade Bearer’s Crime

The Royal Family dealt a heavy blow to the Yin Family, surprising everyone.

The price they paid was not small either.

Many forces in Beijing are eyeing the Imperial Family; today they annihilate the Yin Family, who will remain loyal and obedient unto death in the future?

Without a painful reason, the Royal Family wouldn’t dig their own grave.

"...Yes! He is dead!" Yin Geping’s face was full of hatred, and his voice was furious: "But we didn’t kill him, who knows what he did, he died suddenly on the way back to the country, we didn’t want to kill him, we just wanted him to refuse choosing our cousin as a sacrifice."

Gu Jin’s expression was indifferent, she slowly lowered her eyes and fell into silence.

Han Yibin died, she was indifferent.

She only hated why she hadn’t killed him with her own hands back then, causing the current situation.

Now, no matter whose fault it is, Yin Yufei is dead, and Yu Tianrui is missing.

All of this is the doing of the Royal Family.

They will have to pay some price.

The Mu Family Head and Wanqi Yanghong Family Head stood together, the former looking at the latter’s surprised expression, lowered his voice as if inadvertently said: "If the Crown Prince is truly dead, now the Royal Family heir is only Princess Han Yixuan. Yet Your Majesty sends her to slaughter the Yin Family, it doesn’t seem to treat her as an heir."

If the one residing in the Chen Palace truly wanted to support Han Yixuan as the next heir, they would never let her be involved in such reputation-damaging affairs, which would be detrimental to her future inheritance of the throne.

Wanqi Yanghong’s eyes flickered upon hearing this.

He squinted his eyes and sighed: "I heard, five years ago, a concubine in the Chen Palace gave birth to Your Majesty’s youngest son, but no one has ever seen him. This matter later came to nothing.

Thinking about it now, if it were true at the time, that child would be four years old by now."

"It seems there was such a thing, they say there’s no smoke without fire." Mu Family Head sighed.

The conversation between the two fell into silence.

Mu Family Head said no more, turning back to talk quietly with his eldest son.

Wanqi Yanghong stood in place, gently clenched his fist.

Mu Family Head’s words already revealed another layer of meaning.

The Mu Family has abandoned subservience to the Royal Family; today’s Yin Family incident thoroughly severed their monarch-subject relationship with the Royal Family.

The Wanqi Family had long been loyal to Gu Jin and An Mingji.

Today, the Yin Family was annihilated by the Royal Family.

The Imperial Family ultimately chose to divide the four families’ forces.

In Wanqi Yanghong’s view, the path chosen by the Royal Family is one of self-destruction.

Unless the Mu Family and Wanqi Family were completely destroyed, their descendants would never again be loyal to the Royal Family.

The current Royal Family more sees them as thorns in their side, eager to annihilate them like the Yin Family.

If the Royal Family truly has a young prince, even if the forces fight among themselves, with those on the throne dead, he still has heirs to inherit the throne, the Wanqi Family and Mu Family will not acknowledge nor be loyal to that child.

But those old fellows in the Cabinet would surely wish for a young child to become their puppet.

If the incident back then wasn’t a rumor, that child shouldn’t exist in this world.

Though innocent, the child bears guilt simply for existing.

"Wanqi Family Head!"

Gu Jin suddenly called out.

"Here, Ninth Young Master?" Wanqi Yanghong immediately stepped forward.

Gu Jin, holding a strand of hair on her shoulder, played idly with it, casually said: "I heard, guarding the Chen Palace are elite guards rumored to be from the Dragon Group, as well as cultivators with deep cultivation from the Chixiao Sect. To enter, one would need heavy verification, even digging up ancestors eight generations back?"
