When Gan Chenggong heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his scalp instantly felt tingling.

He asked hurriedly, "What? Political turmoil? How is that possible? Yun Country has always been peaceful, how could there be a sudden political turmoil?"

Yun Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained anxiously.

"It's true, Prince Zhennan! I heard it with my own ears! Riots broke out in various parts of Yun Country, and people rose up one after another to oppose Yun Yi's rule.

I heard that some forces from the Cheng Kingdom and the Kingdom took advantage of the situation and wanted to get a piece of the pie.”

Gan Chenggong frowned and cursed in his heart.

"This Yun Yi is such a loser! He can't even manage his own country, how can we expect him to deal with foreign enemies?"

But now that things have come to this, he can't just sit back and do nothing.

He said in a deep voice: "Yun Lei, you must immediately pass the order and let everyone prepare for battle. The Yun Kingdom is in trouble now. As members of the Yun Kingdom, they must stand up!"

Yun Lei nodded in agreement, turned around and went to convey the order.

Gan Chenggong stood there, looking at the distant sky, his heart full of worry.

He turned around and went to find Hao Yun. It would depend on how Yun Yi would handle the matter. If it didn't work, he would overthrow the dynasty.

Hao Yun was eager to complete the task quickly. When he heard that Gan Chenggong had softened his attitude, he immediately took Gan Chenggong to the palace.

When he arrived in front of Yun Yi, Gan Chenggong suppressed his emotions and bowed respectfully. He raised his head carefully and observed the emperor's expression.

Yun Yi had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Gan Chenggong was delighted and thought to himself, "It seems I can give him some advice this time."

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw Gan Chenggong looking nervous.

"My dear Gan, why do you look so unhappy? I just want to chat with you, there is no need to be so nervous."

Gan Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief, but still kept a respectful smile on his face and said.

"The emperor has summoned me, so I dare not neglect him in the slightest."

Yun Yi waved his hand casually as if he was shooing away a fly, with a smile at the corner of his mouth that seemed friendly but was actually hypocritical.

"Prince Zhennan, why are you so reserved? We are all family, no need to be polite."

Then he changed the subject and spoke in a serious tone.

"I heard recently that my cousin Yaoyao met you by chance in Hushui County, and I was filled with joy. You know, I love this cousin like the flesh and blood of my heart."

He paused, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and continued:

"I even sent someone to invite Yaoyao to the palace as a guest, hoping that she could feel the warmth of the royal family. I wonder if she mentioned life in the palace to you after she returned?"

Gan Chenggong felt so depressed that he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

He secretly complained.

Yun Yi, ah Yun Yi, your face is so thick that it is bulletproof!

It's obvious that you have already torn your relationship with the Zhennan Palace, but now you pretend that nothing has happened and even talk about "one family". It's really disgusting!

However, he was a veteran after all. He still maintained a respectful smile on his face, but he was complaining wildly in his heart.

"Your cousin Yaoyao? Haha, she's still in the palace now. She hasn't gone anywhere! You're an emperor, but you can't even figure out the whereabouts of your cousin. What a joke!"

Gan Chenggong took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and replied:

"Your Majesty, Yaoyao did not mention anything about the palace after she returned. However, I believe she will be well taken care of in the palace."

A rare flash of embarrassment crossed Yun Yi's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He coughed twice and tried to change the subject: "Oh, so. Then... when Yaoyao was in Lake County, did you take good care of her?"

Gan Chenggong sneered in his heart: "Take care? Why don't you ask yourself how you imprisoned Yaoyao in the palace?"

But on the surface, he still answered respectfully: "Your Majesty, rest assured. When I was in Hushui County, I always took care of Yaoyao as if she were my own daughter."

Yun Yi nodded, seeming very satisfied with Gan Chenggong's answer.

But he knew very well in his heart that although Gan Chenggong was respectful on the surface, he must have hated him to the core in his heart.

But he didn't care. After all, in this palace, who doesn't live with a mask?

He waved his hand, signaling Gan Chenggong to retreat.

Gan Chenggong's heart was in turmoil and he was filled with hatred, but in this magnificent palace, he could only hide his anger and dissatisfaction deep in his heart, still maintaining a respectful smile on his face, and slowly retreated.

However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back and looked at Yun Yi deeply.

He fell to his knees with a plop, as if the floor of the palace had magical powers that could make him lose the courage to stand in an instant.

"Your Majesty, the Yun Kingdom is now in a state of war and the foreign enemies are coming in full force. In a short period of time, we have lost seven cities in succession.

Moreover, the country was not peaceful. Riots broke out in many places and the people were suffering.

Your Majesty, you must find a way to find back the former military commanders of our Yun Kingdom. They are the pillars of our Yun Kingdom, and only they can defend our Yun Kingdom!"

Gan Chenggong described the crisis of Yun State in a tragic and heroic manner. His expression seemed to be saying, "Your Majesty, if you don't take action, Yun State will really be finished!"

Yun Yi's expression suddenly became solemn, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

But the next second, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spoke slowly.

"Lord Gan, you are right. Yun State is indeed facing internal and external troubles. But don't worry, I have a brilliant plan."

When Gan Chenggong heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. He looked up at Yun Yi, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

However, Yun Yi's next words made him fall from heaven to hell in an instant.

"Prince of Zhennan, do you know that I recently got a magical pill, which is said to make people strong, wise and brave after taking it.

I intend to give this pill to all the generals in the country, so that after they take it, they can fight bravely and protect the Yun Kingdom."

Yun Yi said with a proud look on his face.

When Gan Chenggong heard this, he almost vomited blood.

He cursed secretly in his heart.

"Is there something wrong with the emperor's brain? He actually wants to use such an unreliable pill to protect the Yun Kingdom? Is this a joke?"

But he also understood that at this moment he could only endure it all silently.

He stood up, saluted Yun Yi again, and then quietly left the palace.

He knew that although he had tried his best, the future of Yun Country was still full of unknowns and variables.
