Chapter 218 (1/2)

The Cousin and The Grandmother (2)

It was rare to have a prince be Coldblood One. Usually, it would be the current emperor. However, even princes had to step down from this position if there was a new emperor, handing over the organisation to the new ruler!

However, usually, when princes enter the Coldblood Group, it meant that he had lost the right to the throne. That was why very few princes were willing to take on the position.

That was also why princes who become Coldblood One would be someone who didn’t like conflicts and too much power.

This was something everyone thought was impossible!

However, a prince would still be a prince. Perhaps he’d been affected by the powers he or his brothers had, so he abused the group’s powers to deal with some matters.

That was still possible!

“I don’t have proof!” said Prince Longguang, looking at Princess Longji.

Initially, if they’d killed Princess Longji, this whole situation wouldn’t require evidence because no one knew what Princess Longji was doing at the Soaring Sky Empire, and no one would object to his explanations.

However, she was still alive and had such a good explanation, an explanation that didn’t provoke any suspicions!

He had, in fact, consider that if Princess Longji didn’t die, and they found out it was the Coldblood Group’s doing, he would be able to interrogate her too. He felt like there must be something sketchy about her but he’d never guess it was to visit Ye Lang’s family.

This was something no one could imagine. Her identity was a sensitive matter, and she risked danger to sneak into the Soaring Sky Empire to visit a few people- it was ridiculous!

In reality, she wouldn’t visit just for Long Anqi. However, because of Ye Lang, she couldn’t help but visit more, even while risking her life!

Without Ye Lang, if she were to risk her life like this, it would be for something more malicious!

This was why Prince Longguang felt like he could be very certain she was up to something bad even without any proof. Then again, he wanted to kill her earlier, so he was getting impatient and didn’t consider all angles!

It was only this one angle. If it weren’t for Ye Lang, it wouldn’t have failed!

And if it weren’t for Ye Lang, the spirit would’ve belonged to the Coldblood Group. Although Coldblood Thirteen was dead, he’d already completed most of it. As long as another person continued his work, it would have been done anyway!

However, it wouldn’t have been this perfect, but enough to kill the princess. Then this matter wouldn’t drag the Coldblood Group along with it!

In fact, without the spirit, the Coldblood Group would still be able to kill her- but the cost was high and could fail at any moment.

The incident proved that this probability was very high. If Ye Lang hadn’t shown up, she would’ve been dead by now!!

“Why do you want to kill Longji? For whom?” frowned the emperor. This wasn’t something he wanted to hear, although he didn’t want to hear that the princess was problematic either.

It was a very conflicting feeling. Everyone wished that there would be a perfect explanation to all of this but the reality was very cruel indeed!
