Chapter 689: Chapter 414: The Provoked Lu Yi_1

The Sum Emperor had not anticipated that after his eldest son went missing, he would actually flee to the North Country.

Not only did he flee to the North Country, but he also enticed Lu Chen, that rebellious child, to collude with him. The two of them were actually in cahoots.

When Lu Chen attacked Heyang County, he probably didn't do so to occupy it for himself but to lend troops to Prince Lu Yi, and then use Prince Lu Yi as a pawn, allowing Prince Lu Yi to continue depleting the court's strength while Lu Chen would be just watching from behind.

The Sum Emperor was extremely intuitive; simply by looking at the intelligence reports from the Shadow Guards, he had already guessed the purpose behind the North Country's dispatch of troops.

After the morning court session ended, the Sum Emperor went straight to the Royal Garden. By then, Elder Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou had already been waiting in the Royal Garden.
