"The situation in the Yuan Kingdom is very complicated, and I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time. But I can tell you one thing. The Yuan Kingdom has a situation similar to that of Country Z. The queen of the Yuan Kingdom has monopolized power and has been in charge of the Yuan Kingdom for many years. However, in recent years, it seems that she has had some health problems and intends to let her son, Yuan Xiao, succeed to the throne. But because of Yuan Xiao's numerous misdeeds, the elders of the Yuan Kingdom unanimously oppose his succession to the throne."

"At this time, someone mentioned my mother's contributions to the Yuan Kingdom back then. So, naturally, some elders began to side with my mother. Some even proposed that I, her grandson, inherit the throne. This made the queen hold a grudge and want to get rid of me, who was a thorn in her side."

Bradley briefly described the situation. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing to hide. Moreover, Ye Lu An was his trusted brother, and he knew that the other party could keep his secrets.

"No, I still don't understand. Don't the people of the Yuan Kingdom know that you are the king of Solterra?" If they knew, why would they want Bradley to become the king of the Yuan Kingdom? After all, Bradley didn't have the ability to be in two places at once.

Bradley hadn't originally wanted to say so much, but seeing Ye Lu An's curiosity and Freya beside him also showing an expression of wanting to know, in the end, he couldn't resist their curiosity and began to tell the story.

"The Yuan Kingdom has long since declined and fallen into depression many years ago, and its economy has always been lagging behind. Coupled with continuous disasters and the queen's extremely cruel and decisive control, many of its people have chosen to emigrate. Now, the population of the Yuan Kingdom is less than one-third of that of Country Z."

Speaking of this, Bradley's face darkened a bit. After a long time, he spoke again. "The elders of the Yuan Kingdom intend to combine the forces of Solterra and the Yuan Kingdom to consolidate the Yuan Kingdom's position in the international arena and restore it to its former glory."

Ye Lu An was a bit confused. He wasn't very interested in national affairs and had paid little attention to the trends of various countries in recent years, so he didn't know much about the situation in the Yuan Kingdom.

But Freya was different. She had heard Bradley mention many things about the Yuan Kingdom recently, so she had a general understanding of the situation there.

As soon as Bradley said this, she understood. "So, the elders of the Yuan Kingdom want you to take charge of the Yuan Kingdom with the aim of obtaining some of Solterra's forces to safeguard the Yuan Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Bradley reached out and stroked her hair affectionately. "Smart!"

Ye Lu An retorted, "But there can't be only one king for two countries, unless the two countries are merged."

Seeing that Ye Lu An had pointed out the key point, Bradley spoke to dispel his doubts. "You guessed it right. That's exactly what they want to do. But the queen of the Yuan Kingdom doesn't agree with this approach and has been obstructing it at every turn. She even sent assassins to try to get rid of me, the scourge."

The Yuan Kingdom nowadays can no longer return to its former glory. Moreover, due to the queen's control, it has gained a bad reputation, and it's impossible to restore its former glory.

But if it can rely on the prestige of Solterra, there may still be a chance to turn things around.

Those elders are not fools. In this era full of crises, who wants to be led by a woman? Moreover, the queen of the Yuan Kingdom is cruel and ruthless, and her ambition is gradually being revealed.

Sooner or later, the elders of the Yuan Kingdom will also be in danger. Therefore, instead of waiting to be persecuted, it's better to find a way to fight back!

Ye Lu An nodded half-understandingly. "So, the people behind the scenes lurking in the palace were sent by the queen of the Yuan Kingdom."

"That's right." Bradley narrowed his eyes, and his hand holding Freya's involuntarily tightened a bit. "I originally thought I could catch those people behind the scenes this time, but I didn't expect that one of them still managed to escape."

The crucial thing was that this person was the leader of these ninjas. Only by catching him could they obtain the desired clues. But now that the person had escaped, if they wanted to find out everything, they would probably have to go to the Yuan Kingdom in the future.

Ye Lu An thought hard and still had many questions. He scratched his head and said in confusion, "Since their target is you, why did they choose to take action in Country Z?"

Bradley was the king of Solterra, the leader of the Dark Web, and also the third young master of the Mu family. He had strongholds everywhere. Why did those people choose to take action in the palace of Country Z? Did they think that the people of Country Z were easy to bully?

"This was purely an accident. Do you remember the murder plot planned by Si Shenglin? The situation at that time just gave the people behind the scenes in the Yuan Kingdom an opportunity to lurk. Coupled with the frequent incidents in the palace recently, the queen's escape, and Ye Lu Mingshuo's downfall, the unstable environment created favorable conditions for them."

Speaking of this, Bradley turned his head to look at Freya and continued, "Freya and I had to stay in the palace for a long time in order to catch the queen. Those people behind the scenes took advantage of this and chose to take action in the palace."

Ye Lu An understood. So, Country Z had inexplicably become a scapegoat?

"Then what about now? Will those people take action again?" Ye Lu An didn't dare to blame his friend. He could only feel a chill for Ye Lu Qi and consider it bad luck.

Who would have thought that all these things would happen to coincide so unfortunately? And the wedding banquet between Ye Lu Mingshuo and Xing Yue had become the fuse of the whole conspiracy.

"According to Blue Book's recent observations, it's highly likely that they have already withdrawn."

The Ye Lu Royal Palace before had given people a feeling of being shrouded in darkness, but now the clouds had dispersed, and the oppressive atmosphere had dissipated.

Those people had failed once, and they naturally understood that the palace would strengthen its defenses. If they took action a second time, it would only be suicide.

Moreover, if they were going to take action, they should have done it during the days when he was injured and in a coma. But it had been so peaceful recently, which showed that those people had already left.

"Good that they've withdrawn, good that they've withdrawn," Ye Lu An heaved a sigh of relief.

Not only had Bradley been on edge these days, but he himself hadn't dared to relax for a moment. He had even stayed awake while sleeping at night, worried that those people would take action at any time.

"However, if these people aren't dealt with completely, they will sooner or later pose a threat to you again. Bradley, what are you going to do next?"

Bradley said, "I'll go to the Yuan Kingdom when the right opportunity arises."

If this matter wasn't resolved, it would be like a time bomb buried beside him, which would explode sooner or later.

But now wasn't the best time to take the initiative. After all, Freya's body was becoming weaker, the queen hadn't been found yet, and the situation on Gabriel's side wasn't very stable.

There were too many things that needed to be dealt with, so this matter had to be put aside for now.

"Alright. Things always have to be resolved. Otherwise, it will be like a thorn in the heart that's hard to remove," Ye Lu An said and let out a deep sigh.

Now that his eldest brother had handed over all the affairs to him and no longer asked about the matters of Country Z, Ye Lu An knew that his eldest brother had made up his mind to abdicate.

But he wasn't interested in national affairs at all and didn't want to be bound by power.

Ye Lu An thought that he would push these matters back to his eldest brother when the situation stabilized. After all, he couldn't be responsible for the future of Country Z!

In order to let Bradley rest better, Ye Lu An didn't chat any longer and planned to leave. However, he didn't expect to hear the news that his eldest brother had fallen out of bed.
