Together We Go

Holding Yun Shang in his arms, Xue Xing's mood quickly improved. He had power and influence; whatever he wanted, he had always obtained.

He enjoyed the feeling of wantonly controlling other people's lives far too much. It satisfied both his ambition and his vanity.

A greedy heart was never satisfied, but his joy was soon swept away.

Though he was a prince, second only to the emperor among all officials—

he was still beneath someone else in the end.

His eyes narrowed slightly as Xue Xing muttered to himself, "Xue Qinghe..."

Yun Shang naturally knew of the Crown Prince. She understood that the two had never gotten along.

Now, Xue Xing probably had some new idea again. But this was not something a woman like her could interfere with, so she simply pretended not to hear.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe and asked, "Qinghe, you want to raid Xue Xing's residence?"

"Yes, Father Emperor." Xue Qinghe's tone was righteous, his expression solemn.

"This... may not be appropriate. Xue Xing is a vindictive man. I did not reveal that you were the one who reported him. If you volunteer for this, I fear he will hold a grudge against you," Xue Ye explained.

This was his most valued son, and also the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. If Xue Xing targeted him, who knew what trouble might arise.

What Xue Ye did not know was that the struggle between the two had begun long ago. Normally, they merely appeared somewhat at odds and had not made too much of a scene.

But in truth, both were waiting for an opportunity—an opportunity to ensure the other could never rise again.

Both were people Xue Ye trusted. One was his younger brother, the other his son.
