Chapter 273: An Inside Job

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan never expected that when he heard the news of South Kingdom again, the Emperor of South Kingdom was dead and Yu Xin acceded to the throne.

In just a few days, all hell broke loose in South Kingdom, Yu Xin used to be a poor guy being bullied before. How could he become the Emperor of South Kingdom within a few days?

He would never believe there was no conspiracy in the event.

However, he couldn’t understand for a while why Yu Xin would take action at this time if he was hiding his strength.

Besides, his sister was still in Yu Xin’s hands.

Now, he was more worried about his sister than before. He knew that Yu Xin was not that simple.

When Ke Ruan heard the news, he immediately rushed to the imperial study. He was so anxious that he didn’t notice the passersby, and he bumped into someone on a corner.

He was knocked to the ground with a thud.

Ke Ruan felt the pain and rubbed his forehead which hurt.

The person in front of him immediately knelt down. “Please forgive me, your Majesty.”

Ke Ruan stood up, and the person was dressed in martial attire, who looked flustered. It was obvious that there was something important for him to report.

Ke Ruan told him to leave, and as expected, he walked towards the imperial study. So he also kept pace with him.

When they reached the entrance of the imperial study, Ke Ruan didn’t immediately walk in. Instead, he put his ears against the door, and vaguely could hear the words inside.

“Your Majesty, these countries have joined forces to openly rebel against your rule.”

Ke Ruan could only hear something rough but he also understood what had happened. When the man came out and saw Ke Ruan, he wanted to salute again. Ke Ruan directly walked in without glancing at him.

“Little Han, is there anything wrong?”

Si Yuhan frowned when he saw Ke Ruan who was out of breath because of running in a hurry. He got up and pulled his wrist to the emperor’s chair.

Then he took the coat from the wooden clothes hanger and put it on him.

“It’s already winter. Better take care of yourself. What if you catch a cold?”

Ke Ruan said, “I’m fine. Tell me if something happened.”

“Rest assured. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Si Yuhan didn’t answer his question directly, which confirmed his guess in his mind.

“So, you got involved in the event of Nuonuo, which became an excuse for them to hostile towards you, right?”

Si Yuhan did not say anything.

Ke Ruan added, “Yu Xin has had the strength long ago. The reason why he doesn’t take action is to wait for an opportunity. He even came here and took a fancy to Nuonuo, which is also the part of his plan.”

“I have already known he has harbored evil designs, but I couldn’t know what he wants to do. Now all dots are connected.”

It was really a good plot.

Advancing gradually and entrench himself at every step, this person was almost comparable to the male lead.

There was a layer of black in Ke Ruan’s eyes and the emotions in his eyes couldn’t be seen.

“From the beginning, he has aimed at you,” Ke Ruan tightened his grip on Si Yuhan’s arm unconsciously.

“I’ll be fine,” Si Yuhan smiled. In his opinion, Yu Xin was just a flea who really thought he could have great achievements. Since Si Yuhan had let him off, he would thumbs his nose at him.

Ke Ruan frowned and said, “No, Little Han, there must be inside men in the palace.”

Without the inside men, this plan could not go so well.

Ke Ruan did not see the expression he thought he should have seen on Si Yuhan’s face.

“You… you have already known it?”
