Screams emanated from the Shen Mansion, turning the vast estate into a noisy uproar.
Even with the Second Prince's cultivation, he could clearly discern words like "murder" and "the master is dead."
The Second Prince halted his step out of the carriage and sat back down.
"Lawless madmen!" His face turned an iron blue.
If Jiang Li's earlier actions had ignited the Second Prince's ambition, his current actions were like setting a fire behind the Second Prince, forcing him to quickly enter the fray and take swift action.
He could have removed Shen Yuan through legitimate means and replaced him with his own man.
With the Emperor now focused on longevity, there was a significant chance he would pay no heed. The other princes were lying low, unable to compete with the well-prepared Second Prince.
He could also manipulate Shen Yuan, subjugate him, and use this chess piece at a critical moment.
Both methods had been excellent, excellent indeed, but now they were useless.
