220 Prince and the Devil_1

"What's happened to Lieyang?" Seeing Fei Hong suddenly burst into tears, Lin Ge sensed that something unusual was afoot.

Next to him, Iris's curiosity was piqued, and she perked up her ears while Lanya, Seria, and others also listened attentively.

Wiping her tears, Fei Hong slowly recounted what had happened after she and her brother had returned to the capital:

"When we returned to the capital, we finally saw our father for the last time. The emperor summoned a few key ministers and, in their presence, handed the scepter symbolizing imperial authority to him, along with several edicts to constrain him. That very night, our father joined the embrace of the true ancestral dragons."

As she spoke of her father's death, Fei Hong began to sob uncontrollably again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ge thought that, had everything gone smoothly, Prince Lieyang should have naturally ascended the throne, elevating from prince to emperor.
