"What? There are other time travelers in the palace?"

Chu Ze stood up suddenly, his eyes blazing with lightning.

"Who could it be? The Sky Eagle has already been killed, is there anybody else who has escaped?"

"I don't know the details. But I heard that when the Secretariat searched the house, they found a strange object."

"Oh? What object?" Chu Ze became interested.

The spy swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice:
"It's a black board with colorful gems inlaid on it. A Taoist priest said it was a magic weapon from another world."

Chu Ze's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this.

"Is that a cell phone? How can there be such a thing in the Secretariat?"

He muttered to himself, lost in thought.

The Secretariat has always been Zhu Biao's confidant. Could it be that he is the one behind this?

But didn't Zhu Biao already pass away? Did he really fake his death?

Or is there someone else manipulating everything behind the scenes?

There are so many mysteries that Chu Ze can't figure it out.

Just as he was deep in thought, there was a sudden noise outside the mansion.

"Where is General Chu? The emperor has ordered him to come to the palace to see the emperor immediately!"

A eunuch messenger rushed into the mansion, panting and speaking in panic.

"What? The emperor? Didn't he pass away?"

Chu Ze's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

"No way! The new emperor ascended the throne three days ago! General Xuan has entered the palace, why don't you hurry up and leave?"

The eunuch waved the imperial edict in his hand vigorously, gasping for breath.

"New emperor? A new emperor was appointed so soon? Who is he?"

Chu Ze's mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind.

He looked around and saw that the soldiers were also confused and looked at each other.

"Forget it. You won't know until you go. You will find out after you go."

Chu Ze gritted his teeth and made a prompt decision.

"Zhao Si, Li Changji, you come with me to the palace. The rest of you stay at the mansion and wait for us. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Chu Ze took a deep breath, dressed neatly, and strode towards the palace.

An unprecedented tension and uneasiness enveloped his heart.

Who is the new emperor? Could it be that Zhu Biao faked his death to trick me?
Or is it that the treacherous officials in the court have set up a puppet?
A myriad of thoughts are swirling in my mind.

No matter who it is, if he dares to go against me, Chu Ze, I will fight him to the death!
He swore secretly and his steps became more determined.

The palace gate opened again, and they arrived in front of the familiar Golden Throne Hall.

But the situation in the hall left Chu Ze dumbfounded!
I saw a man with a spirited look sitting upright on the dragon throne.

He was wearing a dragon robe, a crown on his head, and holding a jade seal in his hand.

He has a sharp gaze and an extraordinary bearing.

It was Prince of Yan Zhu Di!

"Your Majesty!" Chu Ze was horrified and immediately knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"Hahaha, my dear, please get up quickly."

Zhu Di laughed heartily, walked down the steps himself and helped Chu Ze up.

"I am worried that you are not in the capital, and no one can share my worries with me."

"Now that you have returned to the court, it is truly God's help to me!"

"Your Majesty, I am terrified."

Chu Ze was trembling all over, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief.

He never expected that the throne would eventually belong to Prince of Yan Zhu Di!
This former close friend of his had unexpectedly been entrusted with the task of ascending to the supreme throne at a time when everything was in ruins!

"Prince Yan, how did you become the emperor? Where is Zhu Biao?"

Chu Ze asked in a trembling voice, full of suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di sighed and said earnestly:

"The traitor Zhu Biao had evil intentions and was eliminated by me long ago. Although he faked his death and escaped, it was just a delaying tactic." As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Chu Ze felt as if he was struck by lightning, and he stood there in a daze.

"How is this possible?" he muttered to himself, his eyes widened and his lips trembling.

"That Zhu Biao guy actually faked his death and escaped? Your Majesty, how did you know about this?"

Zhu Di sighed and slowly walked to the dragon throne.

"My dear minister, you don't know this." He said in a deep voice, "As early as when you left the capital, I noticed that Zhu Biao's behavior was secretive and he was definitely not a quiet person."

"I then secretly investigated and discovered that he was colluding with the Tatars and plotting rebellion!"

"What?!" Chu Ze was so shocked that he almost fell down, "This is too ridiculous!"

Zhu Di sneered: "Ridiculous? Ha, Zhu Biao is ambitious and absurd!"

"Fortunately, I discovered it in time and was able to completely crush his conspiracy. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have been harmed."

Chu Ze felt a chill down his spine and clenched his fists.

"Damn it! Zhu Biao is a sinner that will last forever. Even if he dies, his sins cannot be redeemed!"

"However, he was able to fake his death and escape. It seems that there must be divine help behind the scenes."

Zhu Di nodded and said worriedly: "It is this matter that makes me worried."

"My dear, have you heard that a mysterious 'traveler' has recently appeared in the capital?"

"A time traveler?" Chu Ze's pupils suddenly shrank. "Could it be... could it be the person who colluded with Zhu Biao?"

"That's right." Zhu Di said solemnly, "This man is elusive. I sent the Jinyiwei to track him down for a long time, but they always returned without success."

"It was not until a few days ago that a strange treasure was found in the Secretariat."

As he spoke, Zhu Di ordered the eunuch beside him to fetch a sandalwood box and opened it solemnly.

Chu Ze took a closer look and immediately took a breath of cold air!
It was clearly a mobile phone! And it was the latest iPhone!

"How is this possible?" Chu Ze muttered to himself, his face pale.

"Besides me, there are other time travelers in this era?!"

"What's even more terrifying is that this person actually colluded with Zhu Biao and attempted to usurp the throne!"

"Oh my God." Chu Ze felt dizzy and the world was spinning.

He knelt down on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty is wise! I am stupid and incompetent, and I almost caused a disaster!"

Zhu Di quickly helped him up and comforted him, "My dear minister, why do you have to blame yourself? You have made great contributions to the country and the people. How could I not know that?"

"The most urgent task right now is to find this time-traveling spy as soon as possible and crush their conspiracy!"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, his face full of murderous intent: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation!"

"I just wonder if Your Majesty has any good plan? If that traitor has the help of a time traveler, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but frown.

"Well, I have thought about this matter carefully for a long time." He spoke slowly.

"In my opinion, we can kill with a borrowed knife and fight poison with poison!"

"Oh?" Chu Ze became interested, "Your Majesty means..."

Zhu Di chuckled and said mysteriously, "My dear, do you remember the guy called Tianying?"

"Sky Eagle?!" Chu Ze was shocked and his face suddenly changed. "Isn't he already dead?"

"No, he is not dead." Zhu Di shook his head and said meaningfully.

"I once sent people to salvage his body and found that he was just seriously injured and unconscious, but not dead."

"What?!" Chu Ze was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

"Tianying, that damn time traveler, is still alive"

"That's right." Zhu Di nodded, "Moreover, after he wakes up, he is willing to serve me and help me eliminate Zhu Biao!"

"How is this possible?!" Chu Ze couldn't believe his ears.

"Hasn't Tianying been working with Zhu Biao all along? Why would he suddenly turn against us?"

Zhu Di was confident: "My dear minister, you don't know that although Tianying is a time traveler, he is just a warrior after all."

"Although he has some magical powers, he is also greedy for wealth and fame, and he changes his attitude according to the situation."

"Now the situation in the court has suddenly changed, and Zhu Biao has been defeated and fallen. How can Tianying be willing to fight like a trapped beast?"

"Besides." Zhu Di changed the subject and smiled slyly, "I promised to use him and give him a high position and generous salary. How can a mere Tatar compare to the wealth and splendor of the Ming Dynasty?" (End of this chapter)
