After sending people to look for that unknown expert, Fourth Prince decided to gather the troops. He was ready to leave the city. General Yan was already dead. There were no main generals in the few city gates. If Fourth Prince personally went out, those ordinary soldiers did not dare to stop him at all.    

    

However, just as he finished assembling the army and was about to leave the city, he received news from the Imperial Palace that Old Emperor was dead! Furthermore, he was strangled to death!    

    

After learning of this news, Fourth Prince was shocked. He did not care about leading his troops out of the city. He hurriedly brought his aides and personal guards to the direction of the Imperial Palace. On the carriage, he asked more than once whether Old Emperor was really dead.    

    

Did Fourth Prince want Old Emperor to die?    

    

That was for sure!    

    

It could be said that apart from Old Emperor, the current Fengjue Country... Fourth Prince was the strongest. The army in the country was under his command. Although the other princes had some armies under their command... But... There was no way they could be compared to him. And... And now, in the country of Fengjue Country... The only one who could suppress Fourth Prince and make the other princes feel that there was still hope for them to ascend to the throne... That was the Old Emperor who was still alive.    

    

After all, as long as Old Emperor was around, Old Emperor would be the one who had the final say in this Fengjue Country. Even if Fourth Prince was very powerful right now... After that, when facing Old Emperor... He was still at an absolute disadvantage. The army under his command... Most of them would only listen to his orders because of Old Emperor's orders. They weren't really loyal to him.    

    

Obviously, Fourth Prince also understood this point. Therefore, although he had a lot of complaints about Old Emperor in his heart, however, he didn't dare to openly disobey Old Emperor's orders. Because, if that was the case, his position could be changed by Old Emperor at any time.    

    

Fourth Prince naturally wanted to be independent and wouldn't listen to Old Emperor's orders, especially after he had so many subordinates under his command. However, since Old Emperor was here, Fourth Prince didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only think about it in his heart.    

    

And now, Old Emperor was actually dead. He died so suddenly. While Fourth Prince was shocked, he also felt happy in his heart. Happiness. The only person who could suppress him was gone. Who else could suppress him in the entire Fengjue Country? He was the strongest existence in the entire Fengjue Country. The entire Fengjue Country would be under his command.    

    

However, because this news was too sudden and there was no sign of it before, Fourth Prince still couldn't believe it. Therefore, he kept asking on the way, wanting to confirm whether this news was true or not.    

    

"Your Highness, this news is true. The news has already spread from the palace. His Majesty has really gone to hell. Furthermore, this news... By now, it should have already spread throughout the entire city. Everything that needs to be known should already be known." The aide said, and his face also showed some excitement. Because, they all understood that without Old Emperor's suppression... Fourth Prince was the strongest person in Fengjue Country. A country could not be without a ruler for a single day. Fourth Prince was the strongest, so he was naturally the one who had the most hope of ascending to the throne.    

    

Once Fourth Prince became the Emperor, the status of these people who had been following him would naturally rise, and it would be much better than what they had now. Therefore, these advisors were very excited in their hearts.    

    

The previous advisor whom Fourth Prince trusted had already died. Then, the remaining advisors would naturally have a chance to take another step forward. Therefore, they were all very anxious, even more anxious than Fourth Prince.    

    

"Is he really dead? Good, good, good." Fourth Prince couldn't control the excitement in his heart. There was no sadness on his face. There was only happiness on his face.    

    

Indeed, he didn't feel any sadness when Old Emperor died. All he felt was happiness. Once Old Emperor died, the throne would be emptied. And he was the strongest amongst the princes. Then... The throne would definitely be his. Once he ascended the throne... Then everything would be over. There would be no more tests or suppression. He was the heavens of the Fengjue Country!    

    

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please pay attention to your emotions." When the aide saw Fourth Prince's happy expression, he could not help but remind him.    

    

After all, Old Emperor had just died. Even if Fourth Prince was happy, he could not show it on the surface. If that happened, it would give people an excuse to attack him.    

    

"Yes, yes, I should be sad." Fourth Prince knew that he had gotten carried away by the advisors' reminder. He quickly put away his smile and pretended to be sad.    

    

However, he was too happy in his heart. When he thought that Old Emperor was dead and he was about to ascend to the throne, he was excited and happy. He could not pretend to be sad at all. He could not help but feel happy.    

    

However, under his hard work, although there was still some happiness on his face, it was much better than before. At least, it wasn't as obvious and exaggerated as before.    

    

When they approached the Imperial Palace, Fourth Prince saw many carriages on the road. All of them seemed to be in a hurry, and their destination was the same - the Imperial Palace.    

    

Obviously, Old Emperor's death had already been known by many people. Anyone who was qualified to enter the Imperial Palace, at this moment... All of them rushed over as soon as possible. First, they wanted to confirm the news of Old Emperor's death. Secondly, they wanted to show their face in front of New Emperor. A country must never be without a ruler. Furthermore, this was the critical moment of the war with Yuan Feng Country. In that case, the matter of New Emperor couldn't be delayed any longer. These ministers naturally didn't want to miss the chance to show their faces in front of New Emperor.    

    

Fourth Prince's carriage was on the road, and the surrounding carriages hurriedly moved aside. Some officials even took the initiative to get off the carriage and greet Fourth Prince. Their faces were very warm.    

    

Everyone knew that Old Emperor was now dead, and the throne was vacant. Fourth Prince was the most powerful person, and the one who had the most chance to ascend to the throne. If nothing unexpected happened, the current Fourth Prince... Before daybreak, he would become the new Emperor of Fengjue Country.    

    

Therefore, these ministers naturally knew what to do. Even those who normally did not like Fourth Prince took the initiative to greet him, expressing their goodwill and respect.    

    

Fourth Prince responded to some of the high ranking officials one by one. He could also see that. These people were obviously more enthusiastic than before today. Fourth Prince knew why this was happening. Because of this, he was even happier and more excited. The smile that he had suppressed with great difficulty once again appeared on his face.
