The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 532 - 470: Protector!_3

Now, with new upheavals arising, Emperor Xia increasingly feels that the Wei Family is deliberately plotting against him.

"Aunt, what matter could make you forget the hierarchy of status and rush into the palace?"

Emperor Xia glanced at the Eldest Princess, not even sparing a look at the other courtiers who followed her.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Prison has been breached and the Wei Family has been seized. Have you considered how to resolve this matter?"

The Eldest Princess was genuinely anxious.

According to their initial design, once Great Yin and Beili deployed their troops, the Wei Family, imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, would quietly depart, heading to the frontline to launch a surprise attack against Beili and Great Yin.

But now, the Wei Family is missing!

The original plan is therefore flawed.

If Beili and Great Yin deploy troops without the Wei Family to lead, Daxia would surely be defeated. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"This matter is entirely within my control, Aunt; rest assured!"

At this moment, Emperor Xia was the typical stubborn person unwilling to admit weakness.

"All of this is merely a ruse to make Beili and Great Yin believe that I have truly fallen out with the Wei Family!"

"Originally, I had no intention of telling you all this!"

"But since you’ve forced your way into the palace, I can only truthfully speak to you!"

"However, knowing this secret, to ensure confidentiality, I must inconvenience you all to remain in the palace for some time!"

Emperor Xia maintained a normal expression, as if everything was truly within his grasp.

The courtiers who came with the Eldest Princess didn’t notice anything unusual about Emperor Xia.

But the Eldest Princess, who watched Emperor Xia grow up, knew otherwise; she was very familiar with him. She was acutely aware of Emperor Xia’s little-known ticks.

Like now, Emperor Xia’s confident demeanor was clearly a deceit.

Because, when Emperor Xia lied, his left and right index and thumb would unconsciously rub quickly.

He had this habit since childhood.

The Eldest Princess knew this, but she never thought to correct Emperor Xia.

The royal family is not a place where pure familial love is allowed to exist.

While the Eldest Princess did watch Emperor Xia grow up, she was essentially an outsider due to marriage; she had her own children to consider. The more secrets she knew about Emperor Xia, the more advantage she held over him.

"We obey the decree!"

Seeing Emperor Xia’s calm and natural demeanor, the courtiers let out a sigh of relief.

Only the Eldest Princess knew that everything Emperor Xia said was a lie.

However, the Eldest Princess also realized that she could not expose Emperor Xia’s facade.

"Chen Lian, escort the esteemed courtiers away!"

Seeing that the courtiers were fooled, Emperor Xia called Chen Lian, having him take the high-ranking officials away to rest, leaving only the Eldest Princess.

"Please, Aunt, save me!"

After the courtiers left, Emperor Xia’s attitude towards the Eldest Princess changed dramatically.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Ying has left the premises of my palace!"

The Eldest Princess looked at Emperor Xia with a face full of bitterness.

Hearing this, Emperor Xia’s expression changed again and again.

"Aunt, what on earth happened?"

"Why would Mr. Ying suddenly leave?"

"Earlier, when I entered the palace, Princess Jiafu was at my palace..."

There was no need for the Eldest Princess to explain further; Emperor Xia could guess what had happened.

"Aunt, are you saying Mr. Ying will no longer protect Daxia?"

"I do not know!"

The Eldest Princess sighed deeply, "Perhaps Mr. Ying has only left temporarily, or maybe, as Your Majesty mentioned, he no longer wishes to protect Daxia!"

"Your Majesty, you have truly erred greatly this time!"

Looking at Emperor Xia, the Eldest Princess wished to blame him, but she was helpless, understanding his original intentions.

"Aunt, can we not find someone else to protect Daxia?"

"Difficult!"

The Eldest Princess gazed helplessly at Emperor Xia, "If it were possible, do you think the ancestors would not have done so?"

"Aunt, without Mr. Ying’s protection, does it mean Daxia truly cannot survive?"

"Yes!"

"This world, after all, is one governed by might!"

"Daxia, Great Yin, and Beili each have their own Protectors!"

"Generally, Protectors do not go to war with each other lightly."

"In wars between countries, as long as the Protectors do not intervene, it all depends on the comparative strength of the nations themselves. This is why, from the former chaotic struggles among various countries, it has now evolved into the present situation of the Three Kingdoms!"

"Aunt, what about the Protectors of those countries that were once annihilated?"

"I do not know!"

The Eldest Princess gently shook her head, "This is the most mysterious part; before their countries fell, Protectors were common. Yet, following the demise of one country after another, the Protectors also vanished without a trace."

"Otherwise, would the remaining countries let such powerful Protectors go without recruiting them?"
