In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 379: True Emperor

The dragon throne had been reduced to a ruined wreck.

Without wasting another moment, he brought Shang Qinghua and his father back to his own room.

For the time being, this place was relatively safe.

His priority now was to restore his father’s health as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Xie Yunlan was nearby and could soon transport medicinal supplies from the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

Although the medicinal stock there was not as extensive as that of Silver Needle Sect, the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall still maintained a substantial reserve of herbs and medicines.

The resources of the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall alone rivaled those of the entire Dongyue imperial palace.

This alone demonstrated how weak Dongyue’s national strength had become.

Yue Mingxuan sighed inwardly.

There was no helping it.

His father’s illness still needed treatment.

Perhaps once his father’s health improved, he would be able to continue leading Dongyue and gradually restore its prosperity.

That was assuming Shang Qinghua did not launch an invasion of Dongyue.

If Shang Qinghua truly insisted on taking this small territory, then Yue Mingxuan would have no way to stop him.

Just then, after Yue Mingxuan’s desperate efforts to save him, the true Emperor of Dongyue slowly began to regain consciousness.

His eyes gradually opened.

The cries of "Assassin!" rose one after another from all around them.

Yue Mingxuan paid no attention to any of it.

He simply bolted the door shut and left everything outside to Yue Juhua and Su Yin.

"You are..."

Upon seeing Yue Mingxuan, the emperor seemed unable to process what he was seeing for a moment.

"I am Yue Mingxuan."

Yue Mingxuan smiled softly.

It seemed that his father still did not know that he was alive.

He also felt that something was not quite right.

After all, his father’s remaining influence probably was not strong enough to obtain such information.

"Y... you’re not dead?"

"No, I’m not dead. I’m sorry. You have suffered because of me..."

If it had not been for him, his father would never have been imprisoned in such a dark, damp environment.

"You’re alright..."

His father’s tone finally relaxed somewhat.

"You are her son. As long as you’re safe, that’s enough..."

A relieved smile finally appeared on his father’s face.

"What do you mean by that?"

"At least now I can give your mother an explanation."

He smiled.

"Your mother was... she was someone I worked very hard to marry."

As he spoke those words, his face was filled with happiness.

Yue Mingxuan could clearly feel that his father had truly loved his mother.

However, as the ruler of a nation, he naturally could not have fulfilled the promises that the fake emperor had previously spoken of.

"I don’t know where all the consorts in your palace have gone. I haven’t seen any of them during this time..."

"They have probably all been executed."

His father interrupted him before continuing.

"But how did you know I was here?"

"Su Yin told me..."

Yue Mingxuan lowered his head.

If not for Su Yin, he would probably have needed much longer to find where his father was being held.

"It’s enough that you found me."

The emperor did not seem particularly concerned.

Then his gaze landed on Shang Qinghua and he raised an eyebrow.

"And who is this?"

"I am Mingxuan’s fiancé."

Shang Qinghua smiled with his usual roguish charm.

Yue Mingxuan’s face immediately reddened and he lightly struck him.

"Father, don’t listen to his nonsense."

"Oh? So you’re the leader of The Black Archon?"

Now it was Shang Qinghua’s turn to be shocked.

"How do you know that?"

The fact that he was the leader of The Black Archon should have been unknown to anyone within this palace.

Whenever the leader of 5he Black Archon appeared, he wore a mask.

Very few people knew what he actually looked like.

"Isn’t Mingxuan only allowed to marry the leader of The Black Archon?"

This time, it was the emperor who seemed surprised.

Yue Mingxuan was astonished.

"How do you know that?"

"Your mother’s belongings left behind before she died were later taken by the Nine Abyssal Gate. Those items were proof of Mingxuan’s identity."

At last, he revealed the truth.

Previously, the people of the Nine Abyssal Gate had subjected him to countless forms of torture, yet he had not uttered a single word.

In reality, that evidence had always been somewhere within the Nine Abyssal Gate itself.

It was simply that Rong Zishen did not know about it.

As for where exactly within the Nine Abyssal Gate it was hidden, even he did not know.

Upon hearing this news, Shang Qinghua was almost too happy to speak.

The Imperator Jin he had searched for for so long had actually been right by his side all along.

Although the truth could not yet be confirmed completely, since the emperor had spoken these words, the implication was already quite clear.

"We must go to the Nine Abyssal Gate."

Yue Mingxuan was also extremely happy, but before this matter was completely confirmed, he did not dare let Shang Qinghua take too many risks.

"Alright."

Shang Qinghua pulled Yue Mingxuan into his arms with obvious affection before turning to the emperor.

"I will take good care of Mingxuan."

"Since you say that, I can rest much easier."

The emperor coughed as he spoke.

"It’s a pity that my four sons have all failed to live up to expectations. Fortunately, Mingxuan is still outstanding..."

Yue Mingxuan hurriedly took his father’s pulse.

Fortunately, the pulse was relatively stable.

He was probably just weak from prolonged suffering.

As long as he was given proper care and nourishment, Yue Mingxuan believed his father would recover soon.

"Father, you should focus on recuperating during this period."

Yue Mingxuan sighed.

"There is someone in the palace impersonating you. You must stay hidden for the time being."

"I know."

The emperor’s tone remained calm, revealing little of what he was truly feeling.

Yue Mingxuan sighed.

At present, he could not completely resolve this matter either.
