The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 541 - 473: Alone in the World (Part 3)

What they sought was merely the continuation of the royal bloodline of Daxia.

Emperor Xia’s arrangements may have been biased, but if the goal was achieved, that’s enough.

In the end, this royal family gathering concluded somewhat inexplicably.

Emperor Xia’s plan to lead an expedition westward fell through.

However, this did not change Emperor Xia’s mind.

He insisted on taking with him a group of princes and concubines, along with the elite guards of the imperial palace, and after entrusting state affairs to the fourth prince and Prince Yi, he resolutely embarked on the journey westward.

"What?!"

"Say it again!"

When the news that Emperor Xia had headed west reached Wei Dingjiang via the Wei family’s informants, Wei Dingjiang jumped up directly.

Emperor Xia abdicated to the fourth prince, with Prince Yi as the minister regent, and led an expedition westward, crossing the Hanhai Desert—what is he intending to do?

"This is peculiar!"

The moment Yuan Bao heard of Emperor Xia’s actions from Wei Wushang, his first reaction was like seeing a ghost.

A perfectly good emperor abandoning his throne and heading into the Hanhai Desert!

If this isn’t peculiar, Yuan Bao would dare to bet his head as a soccer ball.

"Jiaojiao, do you think there’s some connection between Uncle’s actions and Grandfather’s disappearance?"

Wei Wushang also found the matter strange, but he couldn’t figure out exactly what was odd.

The Wei family’s informants hadn’t uncovered the truth of this world.

Missing the most crucial information made understanding Emperor Xia’s actions a joke.

"It’s possible!"

Recalling how Mr. Wei swept across the Hanhai Desert Countries before disappearing, and now seeing Emperor Xia’s sudden move, Yuan Bao also felt there was certainly some connection between the two.

"Do you think we should find the Eldest Princess to understand the situation?"

"Now that Beili and Great Yin might attack Daxia at any time, at this critical moment, Uncle suddenly relinquished the throne and headed west—it doesn’t make sense!"

"It doesn’t make sense indeed!"

Yuan Bao also thought they must thoroughly investigate the matter.

Otherwise, their current situation would only become more passive.

Let’s act now!

The two found Wei Dingjiang, briefly explained the situation, and hurriedly left the hiding place of the Wei family, using the Light Body Technique to rush to the Capital as quickly as possible.

However, when they arrived at the Capital and entered the Eldest Princess’s residence, they found that on the surface, everything seemed normal. In reality, the Eldest Princess had disappeared with her most loyal followers.

After wandering around the Capital, Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang discovered that not only was the Eldest Princess missing, but most of Daxia’s royal family in the Capital had also vanished, leaving just the fourth prince in the palace and a group of elder statesmen like Prince Yi.

"This is the rhythm of an escape!"

Yuan Bao squinted his eyes, increasingly sensing that things were amiss.

"Jiaojiao, you feel the same way?"

In fact, Wei Wushang also felt like the entire Daxia royal family was fleeing for their lives.

Into the palace!

After a brief contemplation, the two chose the simplest and most straightforward approach—entering the palace to find the fourth prince, who was temporarily acting as the emperor.

The fourth prince had always been trusted by Emperor Xia with heavy responsibilities and was groomed to be the Crown Prince.

And Wei Wushang, as the eldest son of the main branch of the Wei family, had considerable contact with the fourth prince, and their private friendship was quite good.

When the fourth prince saw Wei Wushang appear, he couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "I knew you would definitely come!"

"Fourth Cousin!"

Wei Wushang still paid his respects to the fourth prince.

"No need for formalities!"

"Given Daxia’s current state, let’s dispense with these useless courtesies!"

"Fourth Cousin, what do you mean by this?"

Wei Wushang frowned, "Is something wrong with Daxia?"

"Cousin, I won’t hide it from you. These matters—eventually, you’ll find out anyway!"

The fourth prince, being a straightforward person, directly shared everything he knew with Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao.

And upon hearing the truths the fourth prince disclosed, Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao stood there, stunned.

Were they, and everyone else, just frogs in a well?

Of course, compared to Wei Wushang, Yuan Bao was quicker to come to her senses.

She never dreamed that her master, whom she considered a top expert, belonged to a Martial Arts sect from the outside world.

The outside world!

And here she had thought the land beyond the Hanhai Desert was the western world she knew—turned out, it was all just her assumption.

Indeed!

She never confirmed if this place was Earth at all!

"Fourth Cousin, are you saying that Uncle is planning to take everyone to see the real world?"

"Correct!"

The fourth prince chuckled, "If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Wei probably also headed westward leading people to it!"

"..."

Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang fell into silence together.

If Mr. Wei truly also sought that real world, then he really was free-spirited—he didn’t even think to say a word to his family.
