Chapter 1904: It Was the End of the World
“Pavilion Master of the Yama Pavilion?” Hearing this familiar voice, Yuwen Xuhong’s expression froze. Then, a furious roar shot out from his eyes. He suppressed his anger and questioned loudly,” Who are you? Why did you betray me?”
When the other man heard this, he sneered and said,” It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that how could I join hands with you to frame Lin Yuelan?”
When Yuwen Xuhong heard this, his expression became even more puzzled. He asked in confusion,” Why?”
“Haha…” The master of the Yama Pavilion sneered and didn’t answer his question.
Then, he went forward and grabbed Yuwen Xuhong.
Lou Ye, who was wearing a mask, saw Yuwen Xuhong being captured and sneered.” Yuwen Xuhong, if you really wanted to cooperate with our Yama Pavilion, it would be fine. But you did such a shameless thing. You are the eldest grandson of the emperor, but you betrayed the country and cooperated with foreign enemies in an attempt to frame the country. Although our Yama Pavillion is a group of Jiang Hu members, we also hate those who betray the country the most.”
At this point, he looked at the Yama Pavilion Master and asked,” Master, isn’t it too easy for him to just let him go? Why don’t we capture him back to the Yama Pavilion and let him taste all 108 punishments?”
The Pavilion Master said lightly,” No need. It’s better to hand him over to the old emperor. I believe he won’t let him off!”
Yuwen Xuhong, who was listening at the side, had a deep fear and terror flash in his eyes.
Regardless of whether he fell into the hands of Yama Pavilion or the Emperor, he would be dead unless the Imperial Grandfather remembered his father’s kindness and let him go.
However, this was obviously impossible.
If it was just to frame Lin Yuelan, he might be spared if it involved treason. However, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he had betrayed the country. It was impossible for him to be forgiven.
At this moment, Yuwen Xuhong was already beginning to feel fear.
His entire body became weak and powerless. His eyes were lifeless and filled with fear as he muttered,
“No, no…”
Should he be captured and sent to the Yama Pavilion to suffer various punishments, or should he be captured and brought back to his Imperial Grandfather?

In the Royal study
Commander Lin came over anxiously to report,” Your Majesty, we did not find any trace of His Royal Highness in the Imperial Grandprince Manor!”
“What?” The Emperor seemed a little surprised.” What about other places?”
Commander Lin said,” Your Majesty, it’s possible that His Royal Highness has already escaped from the capital?”
The Emperor was even more surprised by this answer.” What happened?”
Commander Lin said,” We found a secret passage in the study of the Imperial Grandprince Manor. That secret passage leads directly to the outskirts of the capital. When I sent people to chase after him, I didn’t see any traces of His Highness!”
The Emperor immediately ordered,” Then continue chasing. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find him!”
His eyes were filled with disappointment towards Yuwen Xuhong.
It was possible to fight for power, but one had to ensure that everything was based on the stability of the Yuwen family’s territory. However, Yuwen Xuhong, the emperor’s eldest grandson, cooperated with an external enemy. This was equivalent to letting a wolf into the house and giving the Yuwen family’s territory to others.
After Commander Lin received the order, he left the royal study.
Everyone saw the Emperor’s expression instantly become dispirited as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Eunuch Zhang called out worriedly,” Your Majesty!” After saying that, he went forward to help him.
The Emperor waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Then, the Emperor regained his sharp expression and looked at Lin Yuelan.” Girl, is that Zhou Anping really a spy from the Black Clouds Kingdom?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Old Emperor, we’ll only know the truth after we capture Zhou Anping! Moreover,” she paused for a moment and looked at Prince Ping before continuing,”Prince Ping has also explained that their plans were actually instigated by that person!”
Lin Yuelan was also a little shocked.
This was not the first time she had dealt with Zhou Anping.
Ever since she was in Qingfeng City, she had fought with Zhou Anping a few times.
At first, she only thought that he was a member of the Crown Prince’s side. Although this person was cunning, he could not do anything to her. Thus, she did not probe too deeply into such a person.
She had never thought that this person would have hidden himself so well. She was actually a spy from the Black Clouds Kingdom who had infiltrated the Longyan Kingdom.
When the Emperor heard Lin Yuelan’s words, he sighed slightly and said,” However, he is hiding in such a secretive place. Can they catch him?”
Lin Yuelan said confidently,” Yes!”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked sharply, “How?”
“Crown Princess Consort!” Lin Yuelan said bluntly.
“Crown Princess Consort?” The Emperor looked surprised again.” She… Isn’t she…” Didn’t she go missing?
Lin Yuelan said,” Someone wanted to kill the Crown Princess Consort to silence her and then frame me. I struck first to gain the upper hand and ordered people to save the Crown Princess Consort. At the moment, she is in the princess’s manor.”
“Ah?” Eunuch Zhang was shocked.” The Crown Princess Consort is actually in the Princess’s manor.”
The Emperor asked in confusion,” How did the Crown Princess Consort know where they were hiding?”
Lin Yuelan said,” Because the Crown Princess Consort’s real identity is Zhou Anping’s eldest daughter, his biological daughter!”
“Ah!” Eunuch Zhang widened his eyes in disbelief.” Is the Crown Princess Consort Zhou Anping’s daughter?! Isn’t the Crown Princess the eldest daughter of the Ye family?”
“No!” Lin Yuelan explained,” Zhou Anping switched their identities. The real eldest daughter of the Ye family has passed away from illness!”
The Emperor and Eunuch Zhang were both extremely surprised.
The Emperor asked,” Then the Crown Princess Consort… Since Zhou Anping was her biological father, would the Crown Princess Consort betray him?”
Lin Yuelan said with certainty,” The Crown Princess Consort will!”
