The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Chapter 1195: Life In The Balance (3)

Although Long Yue was just the crown prince in name, he actually did not differ from a future emperor.

While the Kingdom of Sa Er was in turmoil, they kept Ji Fengyan under house arrest in the Grand Tutor’s residence where she was well fed. Except for losing her freedom, she did not experience any other ill treatment.

At that moment, she was sitting alone in her room, her chin resting on her hand as she looked at the scenery outside her window.

At that instant, a black shadow quietly appeared in her room.

Ji Fengyan waved her hand, and the window in front of her closed immediately. She turned to look at the dark guard, who had flashed in her room.

“Have Long Xi and the others left the Kingdom of Sa Er?” Ji Fengyan turned her head to look at the dark guard. When Liu Huo left, he had deliberately left the dark guard with her. When she had traveled to the Kingdom of Sa Er, Ji Fengyan had only brought the dark guard along.

Half a month had passed since the Grand Tutor’s birthday banquet. On that eventful day, Ji Fengyan had left the dark guard at Long Xi’s residence. The dark guard had arranged for them to leave the Kingdom of Sa Er. Now that the dark guard had returned, it meant that Long Xi and the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince had smoothly left the Kingdom of Sa Er.

“The crown prince has successfully persuaded the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince. They have currently left the territory of the Kingdom of Sa Er and are on the way back to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.” The dark guard spoke expressionlessly.

Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly, and her lips curved in a delighted smile.

“Long Xi really persuaded the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince to bring him to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon?”

Ji Fengyan had allowed the Sacred Dragon Prince to remain in order to arrange a refuge for Long Xi. Now that the Sacred Dragon Emperor was dead, the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon only had the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince left. Ji Fengyan had hinted to Long Xi that when he led the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince to escape, he should induce the latter to agree to Long Xi disguising himself as the Sacred Dragon Emperor to return to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. It was just that this was rather difficult, so Ji Fengyan had only mentioned it, but had put little hope in it.

However, the dark guard had brought her good news.

The dark guard said, “The Sacred Dragon Crown Prince is too weak and useless by nature. The Sacred Dragon Emperor was too domineering, causing the crown prince’s personality to become weak. Now that the Sacred Dragon Emperor is dead, the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince knows what he faces when he returns to his country. In addition, he left the kingdom together with the Sacred Dragon Emperor. If he were to return alone, the other princes in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon will not let him off so easily.”

The royal family of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was far more complicated than that of the Kingdom of Sa Er. Besides the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince, the Sacred Dragon Emperor still had over ten sons. These princes had been eying the throne for a long time. Every one of them could not wait to pull down the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince.

If they knew that the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince had left with the Sacred Dragon Emperor, but only the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince had returned, they would not only champion the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s succession, but would try their best to kill the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince while the Sacred Dragon Emperor was away.

It was this threat that made the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince agree to Long Xi’s suggestion. He allowed Long Xi to take the transmogrification elixir that Ji Fengyan had earlier prepared for him, so he could disguise himself as the Sacred Dragon Emperor and return to the country together.

Ji Fengyan was amused when she heard all this. She felt a trace of pity towards the Sacred Dragon Crown Prince’s intelligence. Although she had made the plan, it surprised her that everything had proceeded so smoothly.

“Forget it, just as well it went smoothly. I believe that Long Xi’s intelligence will suffice to deal with that bunch in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.” Ji Fengyan said lazily.

When the dark guard saw Ji Fengyan’s attitude, he could not help but worry a little.

“Queen, isn’t it too risky to reveal your identity to cooperate with Xing Hun?”
