Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"How could that be? If Uncle Langya really had such great power as you say, how could Aunt Xinyue have died? How could Uncle Langya have committed suicide?"

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Se frowned and asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Why don't you believe me? It's hard to comment on your aunt's death. As far as I know, she died because of the Sword Heart Technique."

After seven days of nurturing the sword, the sword's heart was instantly ignited, and the sword energy was incredibly domineering. After that battle, her aunt's meridians were completely severed, and she was brought back by the Second City Lord, but she passed away not long after.

Xiao Jie didn't even get to see her one last time. This is all a debt your Uncle Wang owes. He brought death upon himself and dragged others down with him.

I've always made Xiao Jie hone his physique and meridians, and paid attention to his cultivation level. A large part of the reason I didn't let him get involved in swordsmanship too early was because I was worried that he would inherit the Sword Heart Technique in the future.

This swordsmanship is too domineering; it's already a desperate martial art, and then he adds the burning technique. Plus, he's been hanging out with you, a cripple. I'm afraid he'll die young if he goes out for a while.

Xiao Se's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes at Lei Dong. "Do you need to emphasize that I'm a cripple?"

"As for your uncle's death, I don't know much. According to the information I have, when your father ascended the throne, the dragon-sealed scroll that should have been sent to the Imperial Observatory has disappeared."

The Dragon Seal Scroll that disappeared six years ago has suddenly reappeared. Countless people want to take this opportunity to push your Uncle Wang to the top. Judging from the results, your father's name is probably not on the scroll.

"Who do you think is behind this? Who has access to the scroll with your Uncle Wang's name on it?"

"The previous one of the Five Great Supervisors was Qi Tianchen of the Imperial Observatory."

"That's pretty much what I thought. Zhuo Qing died not long after the Langya King case, and I think he was probably the mastermind."

The new Five Supervisors were trained by Zhuo Qing. If even the Five Supervisors are not trustworthy, what ability do you think your father has to fight back?

He can only wait for your uncle's choice. If your uncle chooses to grant his wish, he will still be the emperor.

If your uncle rebels against him, he'll have to obediently abdicate.

Even if they are brothers with a deep bond and trust each other, once the Dragon Seal Scroll is released, your lineage will still be considered illegitimate.

It's hard to say whether your father will be beheaded in the middle of the night, forcing your uncle to ascend the throne.

After all, the mastermind was one of the Five Great Eunuchs.

Speaking of this, Lei Dong felt sorry for Emperor Mingde. His reign was a joke. He was always walking on thin ice.

"So, the Prince of Langya chose to grant his father's wish."

Do you have any evidence for what you're saying? Sigh, if it were the Prince of Langya, he really would make that choice, because he is the Prince of Langya.

Why is this happening?

Xiao Se wanted to refute, but considering what had happened before and after, he had to admit that Lei Dong's words made sense. Even if they weren't the whole truth, they were pretty close to it.

"Because your Xiao family has done too many immoral things."

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Lei Dong immediately curled his lip.

"you."

"Don't be angry yet, wait until I finish speaking before you refute."

The Five Grand Eunuchs were trained from a young age, right? They are absolutely loyal to your Xiao imperial family, right?

It was one thing for the emperor to be dutiful while alive, but after death he was forced to have his tomb guarded and never leave it for the rest of his life.

Why not just have them buried with the emperor? Oh, that would be a waste, wouldn't it? And wouldn't that be immoral?

I think Zhuo Qing participated because he probably didn't want to spend his whole life dying in the imperial tomb.

"If they could simply let the people enjoy their old age in peace, why would a few eunuchs bother with this thankless and exhausting task?"

"They have a lot of nerve."

Perhaps you're right, but what does that have to do with their support for Prince Langya? Do they expect Prince Langya to allow them to leave the imperial mausoleum?

"Who knows? Your Uncle Wang is a renowned saint. Seeing such a huge hidden danger, he might abolish this regulation. In that case, Zhuoqing would be securing a future for his disciples."

Maybe it's just pure revenge. They served your Xiao royal family for half their lives, and in the end, they ended up with a life sentence. No amount of revenge is too much. If it were me, I would definitely kill all of you brothers.

Of course, it's also possible that they were loyal to the late emperor and wanted to set things right; who knows?

What I do know is that your father is unpopular, and as long as your Uncle Wang is alive, there are people who want to kill him.

"Absurd! A few mere eunuchs dare to try and control the court, and to depose and install monarchs? That's utterly absurd."

Xiao Se trembled with anger at Lei Dong's words.

"Why not? Zhuo Qing is the number one expert in the palace. Back then, he was a half-step Divine Realm expert."

With seven or eight of the five Grand Eunuchs, both old and new, at the Free and Unfettered Realm, who knows if there are any other experts left in the Imperial Palace? You've practically decided their fates for them, as if they were made of clay.

Even if your uncle dies, there's still the young Prince of Langya. The Prince of Langya might not agree to their conditions, but what about the young Prince of Langya?

Even without the Prince of Langya, there's still that idiot, the Red King, who's also a yandere.

There are many who want that position, and someone will eventually agree to let them leave the imperial mausoleum.

Since the future is predictable anyway, why not take a chance?

If I told you that you would be sent to guard Cangshan Mountain after you turn forty, and that you would never leave it for the rest of your life, would you obediently go? Once you go, would you want to leave? If you had the chance, would you seek revenge?

Why do you Xiao family members always think you're superior? It's one thing to deal with ordinary people and government officials, but you always try to control those who are stronger than you.

The Demonic Sect's eastern expedition nearly overthrew the Xiao family's rule, and the Great City Lord crippled your father's cultivation.

Scheming against the Dark River, Su Muyu killed your elder brother, the Grand Tutor Yi Bu.

Imprisoned in the Five Great Prisons, they plotted to kill the Prince of Langya and destroyed all your cultivation.

Why can't you see reality clearly? The strong don't care about the power you hold.

If you can't change this mindset, you'll get into trouble sooner or later.

Thinking that the White King would ascend the throne and that the only one he could rely on was the Furious Sword Immortal, Lei Dong revealed a playful expression.

In weakening Beili, Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, along with the White King and the Red King, are no weaker than the Third Generation and Danzo.

"I came here to find out the truth, not to listen to what you have to say."

Seeing Lei Dong's mocking expression, Xiao Se was furious, wishing he could kill this gloating guy. He would never have come to this blabbermouth if he had someone else to consult. It was infuriating! He knew it, so what? Why did he have to add his own sarcasm?

"I don't know much of the truth; what I'm saying is mostly guesswork. It's not very credible."

"There is a reliable source, though, that I believe is the real reason why the Prince of Langya willingly chose to die."

"What's the reason?"

Previously, Lei Dong had always used terms like "probably," "maybe," or "should," although Xiao Se also thought it was reasonable and still held a sliver of hope.

Upon hearing Lei Dong's accurate report, which revealed the direct cause of Langya King's death, he immediately became restless.

"When the Prince of Langya fought with Nan Jue, he was poisoned by cold. His symptoms were even more severe than those of my master, Lei Qianhu. Even the Medicine King was helpless. It is unknown whether he would have survived to this day even without the Prince of Langya case."

He was already nearing the end of his life, so sacrificing himself to break the deadlock was perhaps the best option at the time.

After Lei Dong finished speaking, he slammed his hand on the table.

"Alright, that's enough for today's lesson."

"Go do what you're supposed to be doing. Seeing you Xiao family members makes me angry. If you don't leave, I might take it out on you."

After saying that, Lei Dong immediately sent them away.

"Thank you, Brother Lei. Don't worry, Aunt Xinyue's matter will absolutely not happen to Lei Wujie. I will absolutely not involve Lei Wujie."

"Ever since you left your Snow Leaky Mountain Villa with us, Xiao Jie and I have been dragged into this mess. We really owe you something."

But remember, Xiao Jie and I will definitely help Xiao Se, and absolutely not help Prince Yong'an, Xiao Chuhe.

"I've got it. I'll treat you to drinks another day."

Xiao Se smiled upon hearing this and got up to leave.

"I don't want to get involved, but your idiot started by attacking the Lei family first."

Lei Erha, that idiot, serving in the army but not being loyal to the emperor, I'm speechless.

Xiao Jie, don't do anything foolish.
