Chapter 1742

Darryl knew that it was the biggest lie he had ever told. However, he had no choice.

Emperor Hou Yi’s death was not a small matter. If he were to admit that, he was sure that Celine, Queenie, and he

would be buried with the previous emperor. It might even affect those in the World Universe too.

However, Yang Jian did not bother with him. He waved his hands and signaled for the guards to take Darryl, Celine,

and Queenie away.

Soon, the guards brought the three of them to the prison.

Gasp!

When they entered the prison, Darryl gasped when he saw the scene in front of him!

Many guards in armor and with a long saber surrounded the prison. It looked like the prison was heavily guarded;

even a fly would not be able to enter it.

Darryl was almost in tears—with so many guards, he might not have a chance to escape!

“Darryl!”

Queenie was extremely nervous. She asked lightly, “What should we do?” There were so many guards, and they

looked quite strong as well. Even if she and Celine were to regain their internal energy, the three of them might still

not overpower them.

Even though Celine looked calm, she felt quite anxious too.

As the Honorable Pianist, she had been in all sorts of situations. However, that was her first experience in that

situation. They were in North Moana’s Royal City; it would be extremely challenging to escape from there.

Darryl smiled when he felt Celine and Queenie’s anxiousness. He comforted them softly. “It will be fine!”

While the three of them talked, they were brought to a prison cell.

Darryl noticed Chang Er at first sight.

Chang Er sat there quietly. Her gorgeous face was filled with embarrassment and fury. Even though she was locked

up in the prison cell, it still did not hide her cold and prideful aura.

“Get in!”

The guards pushed Darryl and the others into the cell and slammed the door shut. Then, he was about to leave.

“Hold up!”

A cold voice came from Chang Er’s lips. “Who let you lock them in here?” Chang Er looked at the guard. Her voice

was not loud, but it was authoritative.

The guard did not dare to delay in his reply; he immediately responded, “It was His Majesty’s instructions, Lady

Chang Er!”

After all, Chang Er was still of noble status. Even though she was a suspect in Emperor Hou Yi’s death, they would

still need to respect her while they investigated the case.

‘His Majesty?’

Chang Er trembled. She was baffled.

The next second, she looked at the guard firmly. “His Majesty? Who is His Majesty?”

The Emperor was dead. The entire empire was without its ruler at that moment. Who did the guard mean when he

mentioned His Majesty?

Chang Er had been taken to the prison, so she did not know that Yang Jian had been proclaimed the new Emperor.

Gulp!

The guard could feel Chang Er’s aura; he swallowed his saliva discreetly. He responded, “The Grandmaster Erlang—

just now, the officials have unanimously supported Grandmaster Erlang as the new Emperor…”

Swoosh!

Chang Er trembled; her face paled. She felt a mixture of fear and fury.

‘Yang Jian, that b*stard! The Emperor had only just died. His body is not even cold yet, but he already claimed

himself as the new Emperor?’
