He had lived in the wealthiest and most prosperous imperial capital since birth.

Although he had heard of Xuyang, he had never set foot there nor imagined that he would come to this place one day.

As he stared at the bleak, deserted streets, indignation surged in his heart.

This was Royal Uncles plan.

He wanted to reduce him from the n.o.ble Heir Apparent to the miserable Prince of Xuyang.

Did he want to see him struggle in the mud that badly?!

Long Chis face was livid with rage.

Now, he was n.o.body but the Prince of Xuyang, the most unimportant prince in Great Shang.

Although it was a va.s.sal king t.i.tle, he was no more influential than the lowest-ranking official in the court.

Behind him, Jiang Chong and Liu Fu sensed his dejection and exchanged distressed glances.

They knew that this exile had dealt a heavy blow to their master, and he would probably be unable to accept the situation for a while.

After a long moment, Liu Fu finally said, Young Master, where there is life, there is hope. Xuyang may be barren, but at least its outside the courts control, and its easier for us to do whatever we want to.

Hearing this, Long Chi looked back at him wordlessly.

Seeing that he did not shun his advice, Liu Fu continued, One single defeat doesnt mean that all hope is lost. The danger of death sparks the will to live, so this could be a good opportunity. Xuyang is the most barren region, and the people wont pay much attention to this placethat goes for the

Emperor, too.

The danger of death sparks the will to live? Long Chi chewed over the sentence.

It made sense. He had been driven from the position of Heir Apparent to this backward h.e.l.lhole, and there had been fatal dangers lurking everywhere throughout his journey here. If not for Liu Fu and Jiang Chongs devoted protection, he would have perished on the way. In this case, the danger of death

had indeed sparked his will to live.

Royal Uncle wanted him dead, but he survived.

Seeing his expression waver, Jiang Chong heaved a secret sigh of relief and chimed in, Xuyang may be barren, but on the bright side, if you can bring about development and win the peoples support, well gain a foothold for our future plans.

Long Chi contemplated for a while, and his expression eventually softened.

He had always been an ambitious person. He used to aim for the throne of Great Shang, but now he wanted Lu Liangwei too.

His eyes burned bright with determination.

One day, he would return to the imperial capital once again. He would stand on the throne and crush all the people who had humiliated him today underneath his feet.

The woman he wanted would also throw herself into his arms obediently.

Lets go.

After figuring things out, he led Liu Fu, Jiang Chong, and the rest of the guards to the Princes Mansion with a rekindled fighting spirit.

Although the building was the Princes Mansion, it was dilapidated.

As it was a poor place, the courtyards repairs were also extremely sloppy.

However, Long Chi was no longer bothered.

Why bother when he had managed to survive a near-death experience?

Now, all he had left was his life. Since Royal Uncle did not kill him, he would definitely get his payback for all the humiliation he had suffered today.

Jiang Chong instructed the servants to clean up the house, then personally made a cup of tea for Long Chi.

However, they had arrived in a hurry, and there was no good-quality tea here.

Long Chi frowned immediately after taking a sip, but he quickly accepted the taste and inquired about Lu Yunshuang.

When I rushed back to the Eastern Palace, I heard that the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess had invited Lady Lu to the Grand Duke Mansion. Afterward, I saw her hold the Empress hostage outside the mansion gates. The Emperor cut off one of her arms, and then Madam Ling killed her.

since she was already dead, I wanted to leave, but I saw Chu Qi follow their party out of the city to finish them off. I found the situation suspicious, so I jumped out and delayed Chu Qi for a bit so that that strange man in her group could escape with Lady Lus body. But now, I dont know their

whereabouts.

Long Chi pondered for a moment, then said firmly, Lu Yunshuang didnt die..
