Mrs. Xie knelt by the bed with her younger daughter, Lu Wanqing.
The mother and daughter both had red-rimmed eyes, their expressions filled with grief.
Prince Yu, holding on by a thread, laboriously raised his right hand and pointed to the low cabinet by the bed.
The loyal old servant guarding the bedside immediately stepped forward, unlocked the cabinet with a key, and took out a wooden box.
Prince Yu opened his bloodless lips, his voice raspy and weak.
"After I die, take this box and leave Longdong County."
After he fell gravely ill, all power in the mansion had fallen into Lu Kai's hands.
Lu Kai knew Prince Yu would not live much longer, and he also knew that as soon as the prince died, the court would reclaim their royal title and fiefdom.
They would be left with nothing.
Lu Kai could not allow that to happen.
He was preparing to risk everything and lead his troops in a rebellion.
