Chapter 435 Eyeing the Crown Prince Position
After hearing this, Bayer finally let out a long sigh of relief. She nodded slightly, agreeing, "Yes, that's true. It's always a good idea to be more prepared, so that potential dangers can be minimized. Then, in a little while, when it gets darker, I will act according to the plan."
After parting with Baier, Baixi hurriedly walked towards the courtyard where Keremu lived. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he deliberately slowed down his steps.
When they reached the door, Bai Xi lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged properly. Please rest assured and have a good rest. I will be responsible for guarding you tonight."
Keremu, who had been looking up at the vast starry sky in the courtyard, slowly withdrew his gaze after hearing Baixi's report. He nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Baixi standing outside the door, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and said slowly: "Well, in this case, thank you for your hard work." After that, Keremu turned and walked into the room, and gently closed the door.
However, after entering the room, Keremu did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he walked to the table and carefully took out his precious sword. He held a piece of soft velvet cloth and gently and carefully wiped the sword. The sword flickered coldly under the candlelight, as if telling the countless fierce battles and life-and-death contests it had experienced.
Although he and Bai Xi had never discussed this matter explicitly, they both knew deep down in their hearts that King Cheng had coveted the position of Crown Prince for a long time. Over the past decade or so, King Cheng had been constantly making overt and covert moves and creating many obstacles for the Crown Prince.
The fierce battle between the two has reached the point of life and death, but they have not yet openly displayed those cruel means.
Looking back at the early years, Concubine Ru had been too impatient and aggressive because she couldn't control her temper, which aroused the king's suspicion. Fortunately, with the advice of King Cheng, Concubine Ru has been much more obedient in recent years.
Back then, the king was in his prime, and he had a clear understanding of the situation in the court and everything under control. However, as time passed, the king grew older, and I don’t know if it was because of his lack of energy or other reasons, but now he seems to be suspicious of everyone.
He is always surrounded by a team of secret guards whose strength cannot be underestimated. In the early years, this secret guard was mainly responsible for collecting various intelligence information for the king; but now, most of the secret guards have been dispatched to the king's side to protect his personal safety, and the number of people who are actually used to secretly monitor others is rare.
It is precisely because of this situation that even though the king knew clearly in his heart that King Cheng was always targeting the prince intentionally or unintentionally, he still chose to turn a blind eye.
After all, in his opinion, it was a good thing for brothers to have different political opinions. Therefore, he only sent a secret guard to monitor the Chengwang Mansion.
However, what he didn't expect was that King Cheng was extremely cautious and careful, and many important matters were never planned in his own palace. As a result, the king naturally had no way of knowing what Batur had done in private!
Now let's talk about Keremu and his companions. A whole month has passed since they entered the royal mausoleum. During this period of time, on the surface, everything seemed to be so calm, relaxed and leisurely, with nothing unusual.
But what is the reality? Bai Xi has always been highly vigilant and alert. Whether it is the food and drinks used in daily diet or the things needed in daily life, he will carefully check them, for fear that someone has secretly poisoned them.
Not only that, he also kept a close eye on the every move of everyone who approached His Royal Highness, fearing that these people would suddenly launch an attack to assassinate His Royal Highness. In this way, he was on high alert and took strict precautions for a whole month, but in the end, everything was safe.
However, as the most distinguished prince of Loulan, Keremu's daily life was busy, full of responsibilities and pressure. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight hit the golden roof of the palace, he would be dressed in gorgeous court clothes and walk into the magnificent palace to assist the king in handling various complicated government affairs.
The palace was heavily guarded, with the imperial guards guarding every inch of the land like a steel wall. They held sharp spears, had stern faces, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any slightest movement.
Even when the Crown Prince occasionally went out of the palace to inspect the people's sentiments on behalf of the King, he was surrounded by people and protected by the Imperial Guards.
Now, due to the order of the king, the prince must mourn for the queen mother for a whole month. King Cheng, who has always coveted the position of prince, knows that this is a golden opportunity to get rid of the prince. If he misses this opportunity, it will be harder than ascending to heaven to secretly eliminate this prince who is deeply loved by the people.
Therefore, Keremu and Baixi knew very well that the ambitious Batur would never let go of such a great opportunity. As time passed, both of them remained highly alert, but surprisingly, in this long month, Batur neither poisoned him secretly nor sent assassins to assassinate him.
Before this, after a long period of careful investigation and in-depth tracking, Bai Xi finally got to the bottom of the truth of the matter - the terrifying and mysterious Seven Stars Pavilion killer organization, the man behind it was Batur!
In recent years, the Seven Stars Pavilion has been developing rapidly, like a ferocious beast constantly expanding its power. Although Keremu has secretly planned and implemented several suppression operations against the Seven Stars Pavilion, each one ended in failure.
The reason is that the power of the Seven Stars Pavilion is too complicated. Their tentacles are not only spread throughout every corner of Loulan, but also penetrated into some unknown dark places. Every time Keremu's strangling action just started, it would be keenly noticed by the other party and quickly respond. In this way, Keremu's efforts can only touch the water like a dragonfly, unable to touch the core foundation of the Seven Stars Pavilion.
However, if tonight was the night Batur was going to take action, then there was no doubt that he would mobilize all the forces of the Seven Stars Pavilion to assassinate without hesitation.
By then, this thrilling life-and-death contest will surely come like a violent storm. Facing such a strong enemy, Keremu knows that this is destined to be an unprecedented fierce battle...
Night fell on the earth, and the house was dark and silent. Bayer tiptoed to the table, took a deep breath, and then gently blew out the weak and swaying candle flame. Darkness instantly swallowed the entire room, but Bayer's eyes had already adapted to this dim environment.
She turned around quickly and put on the bag she had prepared long ago, moving as lightly as a cat. Then, she tiptoed to the window and carefully pushed open the window sash, fearing that it would make a sound. After making sure that no one was around, Bayer took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and jumped, landing steadily on the ground outside the window.
