In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 367: Seeking Hua Fengyun’s Help

He had thought about it for a long time and knew that he had to find Hua Fengyun.

Hua Fengyun’s knowledge far surpassed his own.

Yue Mingxuan was, after all, only well versed in medicine and pharmacology.

When it came to governing a state or managing affairs, he did not have many ideas.

Even the knowledge he had gained from history books offered him little practical insight.

Only by seeking out Hua Fengyun and obtaining his advice could Yue Mingxuan determine how to proceed.

He could not openly oppose his father, so everything had to be carried out in secret.

Yue Mingxuan had already decided to leave the palace, so there was nothing that could stop him.

He entrusted all affairs within the palace to Yue Juhua and he felt quite reassured about it.

After all, Xie Yunlan had always been extremely loyal to him, although at this point, he himself was beginning to feel uncertain about who he could truly trust.

He had been isolated and betrayed by people around him one after another.

"Hua Fengyun, I hope you will not disappoint me," Yue Mingxuan murmured softly.

Setting everything else aside, as long as he could leave the imperial palace of Dongyue, Yue Mingxuan was already very satisfied.

This place was simply too dangerous, and the person impersonating his father also left him with complicated and unsettling emotions.

He now wanted to find a way to resolve everything, but relying on himself alone was clearly not enough.

He needed the help of others, and among all candidates, the best choice was Hua Fengyun.

"I have come to see Hua Fengyun," he said.

Although he had only left for a few days, Yue Mingxuan felt as though it had been a long time since he last visited the Dongyue Hua family.

This place was always filled with all kinds of discussions.

Some of those discussions were in his favor, while others were not.

He could not guarantee that every rumor would benefit him, but he still did his best.

"Fifth Prince?" Hua Fengyun was also quite surprised upon seeing Yue Mingxuan.

As a prince of Dongyue, he should not have had so many opportunities to leave the palace.

"I have come to seek your guidance on some matters," Yue Mingxuan said, this was the first time he had used formal respectful speech toward Hua Fengyun.

He looked extremely anxious, so Hua Fengyun quickly tried to calm him.

"If you have something to say, just speak directly."

"I, I want to become the Emperor of Dongyue," Yue Mingxuan said with a very calm expression.

If Hua Fengyun had not known Yue Mingxuan’s temperament from their previous interactions, he would have thought he had gone mad.

"Why would you say something like this?" Hua Fengyun asked.

Although he had previously considered the idea of Yue Mingxuan saving Dongyue, he had never imagined that Yue Mingxuan would aim to become an Emperor as a Ger.

Dongyue had always upheld a system of male authority over female or Ger subordination, and there had never been a precedent for a woman or a Ger to ascend the throne.

However, if Yue Mingxuan truly wished it, it was not entirely impossible.

The emperor of Dongyue had always been in poor health, which was well known.

However, the four imperial sons of Dongyue were all extremely incompetent, which was also well known.

Previously, when the emperor announced that he had adopted a Ger, the people of Dongyue had still held some hope for the royal family.

But in the end, their confidence had fallen to its lowest point.

After all, a Ger alone could not accomplish much.

Some even began to believe that the era of Dongyue was coming to an end.

Especially now that Mo Jinxuan had become the ruler of both Beirong and Xieshang, two of the most powerful nations had already merged.

Dongyue was already weaker in national strength compared to those countries, and now that Beirong and Xieshang had united, many citizens of Dongyue felt they had no future left at all.

"So that is what they think," Yue Mingxuan sighed.

He did not wish for his people to lose hope in the royal family.

Although he was not the emperor of Dongyue, he was still a prince of Dongyue.

"When the emperor previously announced the adoption of a Ger, they thought the royal family had already declined to the point where even the emperor had given up on Dongyue," Hua Fengyun said helplessly.

"However, since you wish to become emperor, I will fully support you."

"Why are you helping me so much?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

"Because you are still the Prince of Dongyue," Hua Fengyun said.

Although his gaze was gentle, it was also very firm.

He continued, "Dongyue cannot be without a wise ruler. You are wise enough, but not ruthless enough. However, you are still a prince of Dongyue."

"Alright," Yue Mingxuan nodded, and there was a hint of gratitude in his expression toward Hua Fengyun.

Hua Fengyun’s words were indeed reasonable, but he himself did not have much confidence, nor was he sure whether he could truly become a qualified ruler.

"Besides this, is there anything else you came to ask me?" Hua Fengyun asked.

"I want to become the emperor, but I do not have a strong enough power base. I cannot control Dongyue’s military strength, and I cannot control the hearts of the people either. Moreover, I am not even sure whether I have that ability," Yue Mingxuan said, letting out a sigh.

He did not know whether he could become a good emperor, but at the very least, he would be better than his two elder brothers.

"Alright. If you are willing to stay here for enough time, I will do everything I can to help you," Hua Fengyun said.

Yue Mingxuan also sighed.

In truth, he did not have much time to stay here.

Although there was Yue Juhua in the palace, he still could not fully feel at ease.
