"They've long been unable to restrain themselves from acting against me."
"Brave child."
"Father can no longer protect you."
Huang Xie murmured to himself.
Hearing the cries of battle outside, Huang Xie knew that he no longer had any hope of survival.
He simply lifted the curtain, wanting to see who had made the move.
When Huang Xie raised the carriage's curtain, all the Imperial Guards nearby were already dead; everywhere he looked, only hostile eyes stared at him.
"Who dares to strike at me?"
Though aged, Huang Xie's voice was full of vigor.
A response came.
Li Yuan strode out slowly, stood tall and straight, with none of the humility he once showed before Huang Xie.
At this moment.
He stood completely upright.
"Your Majesty."
"It is I." Li Yuan locked eyes with Huang Xie, utterly unafraid, for he had triumphed.
When he saw Li Yuan!
A trace of astonishment flashed across Huang Xie's eyes.
He truly hadn't expected it to be him.
"You, it's actually you."
