I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1383

1383 A Shocking Fight
Chu Yunfan looked over and saw a young man in his thirties. He was tall and slender, and he wore a bright yellow robe. He looked dignified and could indeed be considered a dragon among men.

“Master Chu? It is indeed better to see than to hear!” The shocked expression on the young man’s face only lasted for a moment before it immediately disappeared.
“I am Chu Yunfan. May I know who you are?” Chu Yunfan nodded.

“Truth be told, I am the eighteenth prince of Great Wei, Wei Wuya,” the young man said slowly.

Chu Yunfan’s eyes flashed sharply. He had guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes, but he never expected it to be a prince of Great Wei.

!!
The emperor of Great Wei had ordered the execution of the entire Chu clan, and Wei Wuya, as his son, had gone against his father’s wishes and saved the Chu clan. This was something completely out of Chu Yunfan’s expectations.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he could not recall any information about the eighteenth prince. There were dozens of princes in Great Wei, and there were a few who were powerful and had the ability to fight for the throne. But no matter what, there was definitely no such eighteenth prince among them.

Chu Yunfan knew this. However, no one expected that the eighteenth prince would actually save the Chu clan.

“So, it’s the eighteenth prince. I heard that you saved the entire Chu clan, Your Royal Highness. I am extremely grateful.” Chu Yunfan cupped his hands and said.

“You’re too polite, Master Chu. I don’t agree with my father’s and brother’s actions. The Maquis Zhongxin residence is the founding marquis of Great Wei. They have made many contributions to the country. And they were going to be executed for plotting rebellion? That is too much!” Wei Wuya said.

Then, he made an inviting gesture and invited Chu Yunfan into the pavilion and to sit opposite him.

“I’m afraid you aren’t telling tell the whole truth, Your Royal Highness,” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile as he glanced at Wei Wuya. “Perhaps this is a reason, but since the Imperial Court has already confirmed that I’m dead, why would you take the risk to save the Chu clan? If the Imperial Court finds out, you will probably be sentenced to death.”

Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan and paused for a moment before saying, “Since you have already said as much, I will not beat around the bush and get straight to the point. Indeed, according to the propaganda of the Imperial Court, you should be dead. This news came from the mouth of General Ye Fei and the First Guardian. It is highly credible. To be honest, I also thought that the chances of you surviving are very slim.”

Chu Yunfan nodded. He believed this. From Wei Wuya’s expression after seeing him, he could tell that this was the truth.

When Wei Wuya first saw him, he was extremely shocked as if he had never expected Chu Yunfan to return alive. After all, the Imperial Court had already publicized it with such great fanfare, so it must have been quite accurate. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be waiting to be slapped in the face?

No one would have thought that Chu Yunfan would actually be able to escape from the Imperial Court’s inescapable net.

“In that case, why did you attack?” Chu Yunfan asked calmly.

“To be honest, I was betting. I was betting on that slim possibility,” Wei Wuya said, “Although this matter was confirmed by General Ye Fei and the First Guardian, I still feel that with your strength, there was still hope for you to escape. Although the chances were slim, it was still my only hope.” Wei Wuya’s voice grew louder.

“You want to seize the throne?” Chu Yunfan suddenly asked.

“That’s right, I want to seize the throne. In the imperial family, how many people don’t want to obtain that supreme position,” Wei Wuya said, “But compared to my brothers, I’m too weak. My mother’s clan isn’t considered a powerful clan, and I’m still young. There’s nothing that can compare to the accumulation of my brothers over the years. I’m afraid that no one has even looked at me properly over the years, let alone treated me as someone who could compete for the throne,” Wei Wuya said with a self-deprecating expression.

However, he was unwilling to accept this. He was unwilling to just be an idle prince. He could not even be a prince because every emperor of Great Wei had too many princes. If every one of them was conferred the title of emperor, it would be an abnormal disaster for the finances of Great Wei. There were only a few people who could be conferred the title of emperor in each generation. For someone like him, he was only a duke or even a marquis. His descendants would become commoners in a few generations.

Since he was born into the imperial family, he would not give up so easily.

“And I know that with what my father and brother have done to the Chu clan, if you were still alive, you definitely would not let it go. Then there will be no room for reconciliation,” Wei Wuya said as he glanced at Chu Yunfan.

He had studied Chu Yunfan’s information and knew that Chu Yunfan was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If he was willing to swallow such a huge loss without retaliating, then the Imperial Court would not be so wary. They had even cooperated with Jinzhanghan.

As a prince, although he did not have much power, he knew much more than ordinary people. Ordinary people would think that Great Wei was the one who took action, but he knew that it was not the case. In fact, it was Jinzhanghan who really took action.

“This is also my only chance. In Great Wei, it is impossible to become the emperor without the support of a strong person. Now, there is no one else in the world who is willing to support me except you, Master Chu,” Wei Wuya said, “That’s why I took the risk to save the Chu clan. Those are all my reasons.” Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan as if waiting for him to express his stance.

Chu Yunfan nodded slightly. He believed this reason, but he didn’t expect Wei Wuya to be so bold as to make such a huge gamble. If he died, Wei Wuya’s rescue would be discovered by the agency sooner or later, and he would probably die.

However, he had willingly took the gamble. Clearly, the eighteenth prince was no ordinary person.
