Chapter 1487: Chapter 1481

The Noble Princess Consort Zhu and the Fourth Prince both appeared puzzled, unsure of General Zhu’s precise intentions for his words.

"The Emperor’s Fortune is a good thing, but the Emperor’s Fortune of Prince Yuan should have only formed recently, isn’t very lasting, is it not?"

Zhu Qianjun sneered.

"Brother, but we have no means to destroy the Emperor’s Fortune, it is Heaven’s bestowed auspicious energy, others cannot seize it."

"We may have no means to seize it, but that doesn’t mean others cannot. The Emperor’s Fortune is a great supplement; for the ghosts, it is the opportunity of a lifetime."

Zhu Qianjun’s eyes deepened.

The Fourth Prince, upon hearing this, was stunned. He looked at the Noble Princess Consort Zhu and Zhu Qianjun.

"Child, you go out first."

Upon hearing this, the Noble Princess Consort Zhu hesitated.

The matter of the ghosts, the Fourth Prince had not known before.

"Mother, are you hiding something from me?"

The Fourth Prince was wary.

He always felt that his mother and uncle were acting mysteriously.

Like this assassination, he knew something was amiss, but no matter how he asked, his mother kept her lips sealed.

"The Fourth Prince is not young anymore. In the future, if he were to become the Crown Prince of Fuzhou, some matters he will have to know. Fourth Prince, tell me, do you wish to become the Fuzhou Emperor?"

Zhu Qianjun’s face was stern.

"Uncle, of course, I wish to be. If I don’t become the Fuzhou Emperor, we all are doomed. Prince Yuan, that guy is no pushover."

The Fourth Prince muttered.

And Tu Suxuan would never spare them either.

As they say, when one person makes it, even the chickens and dogs ascend; afterwards, there would be no place for him in Wangjing.

"In that case, you must go and see her."

Zhu Qianjun hesitated for a moment, then finally said.

"See who?"

The Fourth Prince asked.

"Hua Yaorao."

Zhu Qianjun uttered those three words.

"No! Brother, how can you let the child see her! That woman is a man-eater who doesn’t spit out the bones."

The face of the Noble Princess Consort Zhu changed color.

"Sister, we have no other way. If after the Hao Tian Festival, Prince Yuan gains Heaven’s blessed fortune, his identity as Human Emperor will be irreversible. On the contrary, while his Emperor’s Fortune is not yet strong, we still have a chance to turn things around."

Zhu Qianjun also knew the terrifying nature of Hua Yaorao, but only Hua Yaorao, as the Ghost King, had the ability to seize Prince Yuan’s Emperor’s Fortune.

"But Hua Yaorao is not kind-hearted. She’s long refused to help us, even if the child visits her, it can change nothing."

The Noble Princess Consort Zhu hesitated.

Over the years, to collaborate with Hua Yaorao and prosper the Zhu Family, they had to pay tribute annually.

Just the number of handsome male companions sent over was considerable, and Hua Yaorao’s appetite grew larger and larger.

The Fourth Prince, at least, was good-looking. If Hua Yaorao took a fancy to him, it would be trouble.

"Therefore, this time, the Fourth Prince must bring enough chips with him. Hua Yaorao is ambitious, if the Fourth Prince can sell part of his soul to her, she might help."

Hua Yaorao favored powerful and noble souls the most.

"Give my soul? No, no, no, that won’t do!"

The Fourth Prince, upon hearing this, was almost frightened to the point of wetting himself.

It’s said that those fierce ghosts love to eat souls, and once the soul is eaten, a person becomes foolish, no different from a simpleton.

"Fourth Prince, don’t worry for now, look at me, is there anything unusual? Back then, to gain an advantage in battlefields, I once offered half of my soul to Hua Yaorao."

Zhu Qianjun smiled and reassured him.
