It was Xu Bo and Xu Yue who proposed to build Star Reaching Tower. It was meant as a platform to observe the weather and pray for prosperity.

What tempted Xia Bingguang to agree to this proposal was that Xu Bo and Xu Yue said that as long as they nurtured a dragon vein under the tower, the Xia Dynasty would prosper for many generations.

As an emperor, who did not want their dynasty to continue for hundreds or thousands of years?

The location of Star Reaching Tower was chosen by Xu Bo and Xu Yue. What Xia Bingguang had to do was take out a few generous sums of money from the national treasury. Then, he had to use his blood essence to awaken the dragon vein to protect the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty.

He would do whatever Xu Bo and Xu Yue told him to do.

However, if what he did helped the evildoer harm the people of the Xia Dynasty, he would not be able to absolve himself of the blame even if he died ten thousand times.

Liu Sanniang retracted her hand. Xia Bingguang looked at Liu Sanniang, his eyes filled with guilt.

Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Your Majesty, you don’t have to blame yourself. Man-made disasters can never be avoided. It will happen in one way or another. This dragon vein is not used to protect the country, but to absorb the life force of the country. The country will fall, and the people will be displaced. War will break out everywhere, and the world will be reduced to h.e.l.l.”

“I entered the mortal world with the mission to get rid of evil. Even if it’s going to me an entire life, I will do all I can to correct the imbalance of Yin and Yang.”

Liu Sanniang’s eyes were determined. This was the responsibility given to her by the heavens. She was very weak, but she had a family behind her that she wanted to protect. She could fight this evil.

Xia Bingguang lowered his eyes, his heart filled with guilt. The only thing he could do was support Liu Sanniang. This world was already riddled with holes. It desperately needed someone to patch up the holes.

Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Bingguang and said, “I want to see First Prince.”

Xia Hongyuan was no longer the Crown Prince. After being deposed, he was grounded.

Xia Hongming was worried. “The real empress is still alive. Can we find her?”

Xia Hongyuan’s appearance did not change. Back then, the fake empress did not replace him, but Xia Bingguang was paranoid, so he did not see Xia Hongyuan again.

Xia Hongming did not know what Liu Sanniang was planning to do. He was already the Crown Prince. His father trusted him. It had not been easy for him to get to where he was today. He did not want to give up his position.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “We can.”

Xia Hongming lowered his eyes. “Then, well have to trouble you again, Miss Liu.”

For the sake of the world, even if he was unwilling to let the real empress back, he had no other choice. He did not want there to be chaos, nor did he want this annihilation array to be activated.

For many nights, he had dreamed that he was standing on the watch tower of Jiufang City and looking into the distance. After waking up from the dream, Xia Hongming recalled this dream countless times. He gradually understood how precious peace was.

If his position as the Crown Prince was taken back, he could perhaps return to Jiufang City and go to the watchtower to look at the endless gra.s.sland again.

Xia Bingguang was exhausted. Ever since Liu Sanniang broke the illusion of Star Reaching Tower, the discomfort in his throat gradually disappeared. He could speak again, but he did not have the strength.

He looked at Xia Hongming and instructed solemnly, “Hongming, I don’t feel well. You’re already the Crown Prince. From now on, 1 will leave the imperial court in your charge. If Miss Liu needs anything, help with all you can.”

Xia Hongming nodded. “Father, rest well. I’m still young and will only supervise the imperial court for the time being. When you recover, you can teach me.”

Xia Bingguang nodded weakly. “Alright, alright. 1 haven’t rested for a long time. I’m tired…”

Xian Fei helped Xia Bingguang back to the palace to rest.

Xia Hongming personally brought Liu Sanniang to see Xia Hongyuan.

When they came our of the east gate, they saw Xia Hongjin walking into rhe palace with the help of the palace servants. Beside him was Fifth Prince, Xia Hongyan.

Fifth Prince was already 1S-year-old, but he only had the intelligence of a child.

Fifth Prince s biological mother had long pa.s.sed away.

Seeing Xia Hongming, Fifth Prince greeted with a smile, ’“Third, Third Brother.”

Xia Hongming reached out and touched his head. “Fifth Brother.”

Xia Hongjin nodded at Xia Hongming. “1 heard that something happened in the palace. I’ve been feeling much better these days, so I decided to come over to take a look.”

Xia Hongjin smiled at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. “h.e.l.lo, Miss Liu and Young Master Chu.”

Xia Hongming nodded slightly. “You have just recovered from a serious illness. If you need anything, just tell the palace servants. Don’t worry about Star Reaching Tower.”

Xia Hongjin said with a smile, “Under the protection of the royal family, I’m able to survive for the last twenty years. Now that I’m well, if there is anything 1 can help with, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do what I can.”

In the past, he rarely stepped out of the door. Now that he had recovered, if the Xia Dynasty was in trouble, he would not sit back and do nothing.. He didn’t want to fight for anything. He only hoped that the Xia Dynasty would be peaceful and prosperous.

Xia Hongming nodded. “We are brothers. I believe in you.”

Xia Hongjin smiled. “I won’t let you down. If there’s nothing else, I ll go and handle my mother’s funeral affairs first.”

Xia Hongming nodded. “Take care of yourself.”

Xia Hongyan raised his hand and said foolishly, “Third Brother, Third Brother, me, and me.”

Xia Hongming looked at Xia Hongyan lovingly. “Fifth Brother, learn from your teachers well. When you’re successful, Third Brother will definitely need your help.”

Xia Hongyan’s imbecility was caused by the fake empress. He should have been a healthy prince, but now…

Xia Hongyan patted his chest seriously. “Third Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely learn well and not be lazy.”

Xia Hongming patted his shoulder. “1 believe you.”

Xia Hongjin and Xia Hongyan left with their servants. Looking at his two brothers, Xia Hongming sighed with emotions.

The Xia Dynasty’s royal family had already been destroyed by the fake empress. Xia Hongming brought Liu Sanniang to the disciplinary center. Before they entered, they heard the sound of laughter coming from inside..
