Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1584

Chapter 1584: Chapter 1579: Traitor to the Nation

Murong Yan, seated on the Dragon Throne, clenched his fist, his gaze cold and deep...

Although Ninth Uncle had already sent a letter back ahead of time, warning him about the royal kinsmen, and he had been prepared, when he saw his mother appear outside this Golden Palace, he understood... his mother had chosen to stand with those kinsmen, and his heart couldn’t help but ache, as if a venomous bee had fiercely stung his heart.

After his mother, the Empress Dowager, arrived at the palace, he gave a death order to the soldiers and Hidden Guards guarding the palace. If they couldn’t stop the Empress Dowager from leaving the palace without the order of the Regent Prince or a king’s order, then... kill her!

The Empress Dowager was his biological mother, and Murong Li was unwilling to take this step unless absolutely necessary.

He also told Wang Jiuzhou to inform his mother of the fate awaiting her if she left the palace, hoping she would cultivate herself from then on and stop causing trouble.

But now, with his mother appearing outside the Golden Palace when the royal kinsmen believed they had control of the imperial guard, it indicated that... his arrangement with the imperial guard had either betrayed him or been killed!

And the Hidden Guards he arranged in secret, they couldn’t possibly betray him, which meant... they had all been wiped out!

His head of the Imperial Guards had already been killed, and if his guess was correct, the envoy of Zhou stationed in Yan had likely been killed too. Perhaps these imperial kinsmen might even disguise this as... the envoy of Zhou having gotten advance warning of Zhou’s betrayal and intention to attack the Yan Kingdom, and had already fled, to deceive him.

The foundations of the imperial kinsmen, descendants of Murong, were deep and profound. It seemed they had already put everything on the line, deploying all the private soldiers and assassins they had nurtured for years.

Among the royal kinsmen, a few with significant weight glanced towards the older generation among them when they saw the Empress Dowager standing at the door... that was Murong Li’s great-uncle.

Someone quietly slipped in from the corners, whispered something to Murong Li’s great-uncle, and then withdrew to the side. The great-uncle’s eyes widened immediately, and he quickly led the group to kneel at the entrance to welcome the Empress Dowager, loudly proclaiming: "The Emperor is young and was deceived by the Yan Kingdom traitor, Murong Yan. We request the Empress Dowager to resume regency."

The royal kinsmen had always been on the emperor’s side.

But now, with the Empress Dowager presenting evidence of Murong Yan’s treason and damning proof of his former identity as Xiao Rongyan, yet the Emperor remained determined to protect Murong Yan to the end, how could the royal kinsmen not be frightened?

They were all afraid that if they stood against the Regent Prince Murong Yan, during a life-and-death struggle, the Emperor... might still abandon them.

So, in their eyes, it would be better to reinstate someone else in power, such as the gentle Crown Prince, but before that... they needed the Empress Dowager to govern!

Because the Empress Dowager shared the same goals as these royal kinsmen: to kill the Regent Prince Murong Yan and not to acknowledge the matter of the gambling country.

Indeed, after Xiao Rongyan’s massacres, Murong Li later selected some kinsmen and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities, successfully winning over the hearts of the royal kinsmen. At least between the Regent Prince and Murong Li, the royal kinsmen now had no choice but to stand with Murong Li. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
