King Yu understood that once the Empress Dowager succeeded, he, as her biological son, might still be able to preserve his life. However, the other royal family members would inevitably invite the Empress Dowager’s wrath. Countless members of the royal family would be purged, and an untold number of people would die before it all stopped.
On one side was the love between mother and son, on the other, the bond with his royal kin.
For King Yu at this moment, he did not wish to easily abandon either side.
However, the current situation was difficult to reverse. Both sides were already at each other’s throats, it was hard to return to the previous status quo.
The position he was in meant that he had to make a decision rapidly. He could not afford to continue fluctuating.
Wannian County, to the northwest of the Capital, was originally said to have been named after the Wannian Mausoleum built by the First Emperor of Han to bury his father. Later, during the Later Han Dynasty, a Princess Wannian also made this her fief.
Pei Xuanjing traveled to this place alone and ascended a guesthouse. He sat on the second floor, looking out over the rail, his gaze falling on a distant manor.
According to the information provided by Ye Daoyuan, the hideout of the Demonic Cult was in that manor in the distance.
A smile flickered at the corner of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth. No wonder people say, “A small concealment hides in the wild, a big concealment hides in the city.”
If it hadn’t been for Ye Daoyuan’s precise information, I’m afraid no one in the world would have guessed that this group from the Demonic Cult would dare to settle within the city so boldly.
