The Cousin and The Grandmother (2)
It was rare to have a prince be Coldblood One. Usually, it would be the current emperor. However, even princes had to step down from this position if there was a new emperor, handing over the organisation to the new ruler!
However, usually, when princes enter the Coldblood Group, it meant that he had lost the right to the throne. That was why very few princes were willing to take on the position.
That was also why princes who become Coldblood One would be someone who didnât like conflicts and too much power.
This was something everyone thought was impossible!
However, a prince would still be a prince. Perhaps heâd been affected by the powers he or his brothers had, so he abused the groupâs powers to deal with some matters.
That was still possible!
âI donât have proof!â said Prince Longguang, looking at Princess Longji.
Initially, if theyâd killed Princess Longji, this whole situation wouldnât require evidence because no one knew what Princess Longji was doing at the Soaring Sky Empire, and no one would object to his explanations.
However, she was still alive and had such a good explanation, an explanation that didnât provoke any suspicions!
He had, in fact, consider that if Princess Longji didnât die, and they found out it was the Coldblood Groupâs doing, he would be able to interrogate her too. He felt like there must be something sketchy about her but heâd never guess it was to visit Ye Langâs family.
This was something no one could imagine. Her identity was a sensitive matter, and she risked danger to sneak into the Soaring Sky Empire to visit a few people- it was ridiculous!
In reality, she wouldnât visit just for Long Anqi. However, because of Ye Lang, she couldnât help but visit more, even while risking her life!
Without Ye Lang, if she were to risk her life like this, it would be for something more malicious!
This was why Prince Longguang felt like he could be very certain she was up to something bad even without any proof. Then again, he wanted to kill her earlier, so he was getting impatient and didnât consider all angles!
It was only this one angle. If it werenât for Ye Lang, it wouldnât have failed!
And if it werenât for Ye Lang, the spirit wouldâve belonged to the Coldblood Group. Although Coldblood Thirteen was dead, heâd already completed most of it. As long as another person continued his work, it would have been done anyway!
However, it wouldnât have been this perfect, but enough to kill the princess. Then this matter wouldnât drag the Coldblood Group along with it!
In fact, without the spirit, the Coldblood Group would still be able to kill her- but the cost was high and could fail at any moment.
The incident proved that this probability was very high. If Ye Lang hadnât shown up, she wouldâve been dead by now!!
âWhy do you want to kill Longji? For whom?â frowned the emperor. This wasnât something he wanted to hear, although he didnât want to hear that the princess was problematic either.
It was a very conflicting feeling. Everyone wished that there would be a perfect explanation to all of this but the reality was very cruel indeed!
âI wanted to take your place. Once Longji dies, then my siblings would start to fight and I would have my opportunities to remove them slowly!â he said calmly as if it really was not for anyone else, just him alone.
â⊠Did you really think so? Then why did you accept this position? You know that you taking this position would mean leaving the fight for the throne!â said the emperor. He was looking for microexpressions on the princeâs face, trying to get any information from it.
âI accepted it to get some points for myself. Anyone knows how powerful the Coldblood Group is!â said Prince Longguang, âColdblood Group has always had a problem. They had to obey every order of Coldblood One yet never meet this person. However, if I, Coldblood One, were a problematic person, then what would happen to this organisation?â
â⊠The emperor fell silent. Heâd consider this problem, but he didnât imagine it would happen to the person he chose.
Every emperor of the kingdom had considered this but theyâd never imagine it would happen during their reign. This was a normal perception, for no one would think a problem would happen to them!!
âA group like Coldblood Group would only become Coldblood Oneâs tool on his belt, it would be fully controlled by him!!â interrupted Ye Lang suddenly.
Princess Longji was surprised Ye Lang did so. She knew that he would never intervene in things not relevant to himself. Also, with his cluelessness, he wouldnât have such a sharp and clear thought.
âThatâs true, but we will always need a person to lead the Coldblood Group, this canât be avoided!â frowned the emperor.
It was true the group needed a Coldblood One, but it cannot be ruled by one person like in the past, without supervision.
âThis is your business. I only want to say that the person who wanted to kill my cousin was Coldblood One, and this isnât related to Little Five and Coldblood Seven!â said Ye Lang directly. He didnât care about anything else, he only wanted to state that Coldblood Five and Seven were innocent.
It was true. The problem with this mission was with Coldblood One and the structure of this organisation. The rest of the members did nothing wrong.
âBrother, so youâve been here all along. Looks like the relationship between you and this girl isnât normal either,â smiled Princess Longji. She looked at Coldblood Five and Ye Lang standing together with an odd expression.
âOf course itâs not normal. Sheâs now the only person who is like me, I need to care for her!!â nodded Ye Lang.
ââŠâ
Whoâs caring for who now? Itâs Coldblood Five whoâve been taking care of you!
âYou know how to care for another person?â Before Coldblood Five could object, Princess Longji had already asked the question. It was impossible for Ye Lang to care for another person, it was impossible. At least to everyone else.
âOf course!â said Ye Lang, patting his chest.
âNonsense!â Princess Longji flicked at Ye Lang.
âHmmph, Little Five, letâs go!â he pulled Coldblood Five away, getting ready to leave. He didnât want to stay. Even if Princess Longji was here, he still didnât like being there.
To be honest, Princess Longji herself was also why he wanted to leave. Letâs not forget that he never liked being with her anyway because she liked to bully him.
Caring for each other is different from spending time with each other!
