Chapter 2219: Chapter 2219: Killed Them All, Not a Single One Left

“Eat a little less, Mama will make bamboo rice for Nuonuo later.”

“Okay, Nuonuo won’t eat anymore.”

As soon as he heard about bamboo rice, the little baby stuffed the snack in his hand back into the Qiankun Bag and stopped eating.

The bamboo rice made by Mama was especially delicious—soft, glutinous, fragrant, with lots of meat and vegetables inside. Just thinking about it made his mouth water uncontrollably.

“Mama, Nuonuo wants fruit juice.” He demanded conditionally.

“Alright, I’ll give you a cup of juice. Cherry juice, how about that?” An Jiuyue lightly tapped the little baby’s nose and asked.

The little baby quickly nodded. Anyway, as long as it was fruit, any juice made from fruit was delicious to him, and he absolutely loved it all.

…

Although it was decided that she would visit General Ning, who was hung atop the city wall that evening, Yuu Rong still invited the Ninth Prince over.

“The Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire is dead? How is that possible?”

When the Ninth Prince heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief.

The Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire was younger than his Emperor brother, not to mention brave, skilled in battle, and physically robust. Saying he was dead? Other than being assassinated, there was no other possibility.

“High Priest, Master Qian, where did you hear this news from? It’s impossible, right? The Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire can’t possibly be dead unless it was an assassination.”

But the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire was someone skilled with swords and weapons. Assassinating him? That was easier said than done.

“I haven’t received any news at all on my side.”

If the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire had truly passed away, how could he, of all people, not have received any news? Yet somehow, the High Priest Demon Heart and Master Qian, who had just arrived at the Plant Plane, were the first to learn of it?

How could this not be suspicious?

“High Priest, Master Qian, do you think there might be something off about this?”

“What do you think?”

An Jiuyue countered his question, seeking his opinion first.

The Ninth Prince: “!”

She was asking him? In that moment, he truly had no answer.

To speak of the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire, he was someone with a spine—definitely not the sort to fear death or cling to life, was he?

It seemed unlikely that he would fake his death just to avoid the High Priest Demon Heart’s punishment, right? If such a thing were uncovered, the entire Jun Empire would lose face, wouldn’t it?

However, that didn’t mean the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire wouldn’t do such a thing.

After all, life only comes once, and no one wants to die prematurely, right?

“Maybe… a prince’s usurpation?” He raised an eyebrow and asked.

But according to what he knew, the princes of the Jun Empire—the oldest was only five years old. How could such young children usurp the throne? To the extent of patricide and seizing power? That seemed impossible, didn’t it?

“How many brothers does the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire have?” Qian Jiyun asked.

“None. They were all killed after he ascended the throne—none were left.” The Ninth Prince shook his head, indicating that the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire was truly a ruthless man.

He hadn’t just eliminated the brothers who competed with him for the throne. Even those who claimed disinterest in power struggles and refused to join factions were all killed without exception. There wasn’t a single brother left. How could there be?

“The Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire acts tyrannically and unilaterally. Not to mention his brothers—he’s killed every minister on the royal court who opposed his policies.

Now, on the royal court of the Jun Empire, no minister dares to contradict the Monarch Emperor—there isn’t even one.”

This was the information he knew. That Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire could truly be considered a ruthless figure, even more so than the Emperor of Beikun.
