“Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!”
In the secluded palace, a sharp voice suddenly broke the silence.
A young eunuch staggered and fell to his knees before Ye Chen.
He did not wait for Ye Chen to speak and, seeing that no one was around, hurriedly said:
“Seventh Prince, tomorrow, the Eldest Prince, Second Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince will jointly submit a memorial accusing you of forming factions and maintaining private troops!”
“You’d better make plans!”
The eunuch’s voice trembled, and his expression was filled with fear and unease.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s mouth twitched slightly.
Three days ago, he had transmigrated into the body of this widely recognized useless prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, which was already a cause for concern.
The previous person had little knowledge of the six arts and was a complete mess in terms of learning.
In the waning years of the Emperor, with the competition among the nine sons for the throne escalating.
His position was extremely precarious.
In the court, there was not a single official who respected this useless Seventh Prince.
How could there be any possibility of forming factions and maintaining private troops?
It seemed that his rival princes, who were mutually suspicious of each other, had decided to team up to eliminate him first.
After all, the previous person’s maternal family, the now-deceased General of the State’s residence, had no clear understanding of how many old subordinates there were…
Ye Chen, who was lost in thought, noticed the trembling eunuch below and waved his hand:
“Leave now.”
From what he remembered, this eunuch seemed to have received a favor from the previous person.
This was why he came from the Eldest Prince’s residence to risk his life to inform him of this matter, repaying the life-saving grace of that year.
He could be considered a person of loyalty and righteousness.
In this empty palace, it formed a sharp contrast.
The servants of this Seventh Prince were all tied up in relationships, and if there were other more promising masters, they would fear being implicated by Ye Chen.
He didn’t know how the previous person had managed it. It was one thing to be powerless in the court, but even the palace maids and eunuchs had lost faith.
It was only a matter of time before he was ruined in the whirlpool of power.
“Your Highness…”
The eunuch raised his head, his eyes filled with unspoken words.
Tears welled up in his eyes. The scheming and deceitful eunuch in the eyes of the world was actually crying.
This farewell might very well be a parting forever…
After the eunuch left, Ye Chen fell into silence.
“Damn it, I might as well dig a pit and bury myself.”
According to the previous person’s memory, the Emperor in the palace was old and highly suspicious.
If even a hint of malice or conspiracy was found on him.
There was a high chance he would meet a tragic end.
The imperial family was the most ruthless, especially when it came to him, the generally disliked useless prince!
Just then, a cold electronic voice interrupted Ye Chen’s thoughts!
[Ding! Enemy Killing System Activated!]
[As long as you kill enemies, you can become stronger!]
[Killing enemies: Can increase personal attributes and earn points!]
Immediately, a light screen appeared in Ye Chen’s mind.
It listed a system shop where killing an enemy would earn one point.
Points could be exchanged for military items, medicines, and so on!
The rewards were substantial and varied!
The system had finally arrived!
Wait…
No, as a prince confined to the palace, where am I going to find enemies to kill?
Ye Chen scratched his head and pondered for a while. It seemed like this was the perfect opportunity to leave the capital!
After all, with the system in place, as long as he stayed alive, rising to power was only a matter of time.
Staying in the capital meant dodging both open and covert attacks every day.
Furthermore, there weren’t many “enemies” to kill in the capital.
The best way to find enemies was naturally at the borders.
By killing foreign enemies, he could earn points and grow stronger.
And now was the best time to head to the borders!
His brothers were planning to frame him with false charges?
He might as well take the initiative and leave, rather than wait for them to act. This way, he could take more control!
After all, under normal circumstances, even if he were a useless prince, it would be difficult to go to the borders!
After a moment of thought, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh!
Good, good, you want to kick me out?
Don’t beg me to come back later!
