After some magical operations, Ling Muxiao and Ling Ze not only cleared out those annoying ears and eyes more cleanly than the palace walls, but also consolidated their own positions as solid as the roots of a thousand-year-old tree, indestructible.

One who has a firm grasp on the Imperial Guards can walk with the wind.

One of them suddenly became the leader of the city defense army. He was so handsome that even the bricks of the city wall were ashamed of himself.

After cleaning up those "minions", Ling Ze led the Imperial Guards to perform a "gorgeous turn" and left at any time, leaving behind a stunned atmosphere and the city defense troops.

Outside the hall, the city defense soldiers stood straight, but they were muttering in their hearts.

"The plot twists are faster than turning the pages of a book. Should we prepare a round of applause?"

As for the old emperor, although he is old, his mentality is young. He stretched out his trembling hand, and the eunuchs immediately turned into "human crutches", and their speed was three times faster than flattery.

The old emperor walked out of the hall slowly, and each step exuded the domineering spirit of "Although I am old, I can still fight for another five hundred years". His aura was simply the real-life interpretation of "Old but still strong, and would rather change his heart than turn gray".

"Second Prince, you did a great job this time. I am very pleased! Since the mission has been successfully completed, give me the token!"

The old emperor said with a kind yet majestic face

Ling Muxiao rubbed the token in his hand tightly. The touch felt like the red veil of the bride on the wedding night. His heart already felt warm before it was even removed.

It’s a pity that this “bride” has to be returned before she can even get warm. I feel so reluctant to let her go!

How can you just release this token?

However, reason told him that if he didn't hand it back now, the look in his "good father's" eyes would probably switch from benevolent father mode to murderous mode in an instant.

Look at the question marks in his head: "What does this kid want to do? Is he planning to rebel?"

Ling Muxiao's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

Hey, father is short of money right now. Except for the city defense troops, the other troops are like weathered statues, good-looking but useless.

His good father has no one available except the city defense troops!

Then he...

He curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that said, "I'm very obedient, but I also want to be naughty," and said to the old emperor.

"Father, what do you think of my performance this time? Is it perfect? ​​In that case, why don't you be magnanimous and give this token to me as a reward? This way, I can better help you solve your problems!"

As he spoke, Ling Muxiao's hand seemed to be glued to the token with super glue, and he showed no intention of returning it.

Instead, he deliberately waved it in front of the old emperor.

That look was as if he was saying, "Look, this token suits me so well, as if I was born to be its owner!"

The old emperor's mouth twitched slightly.

Although Ling Muxiao was asking, his movements were extremely quick and he obviously put the token away.

Didn’t the black-robed master say that this man was extremely loyal to him?

What's the situation now?

"You, you traitor!"

The old emperor was so angry that he almost ascended to heaven. His beard was shaking like an old pine tree that had just been struck by lightning. His whole body exuded the aura of "Don't mess with me, I'm recharging".

The feeling of comfort just now was like a thin cloud on a summer afternoon.

This sudden anger blew it away without a trace, and replaced it with a "volcanic magma" in the body that was about to erupt.

There was shock and a bit of helplessness in his eyes, as if to say "Why don't you go to heaven?"

"I have seen all kinds of storms in my life, so how come I am stumped by a rebellious son like you?"

The eunuchs and palace maids around were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, for fear that they would become cannon fodder if they were not careful.

They prayed silently for Ling Muxiao in their hearts.

"Your Highness, which deity have you offended again? Return the token quickly, or I'm afraid you will tear down this palace!"

However, Ling Muxiao seemed not to see the old emperor's "little universe" that was about to explode, and instead blinked his eyes innocently.

"Oh my, is Father playing the 'surprise turns into shock' game again?"

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that the air seemed to be frozen, Ling Muxiao suddenly had an idea and pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

"Oh, Father, I know I was wrong! I just saw that you have been overworked recently, so I wanted to give you some fun!

You see, this token is a scepter in your hand, but it is a toy in your hand. Why don't we have some fun together?"

The old emperor was furious, but was also choked by this sudden "filial piety" and was speechless for a long time.

In the end, he could only sigh and wave his hands.

"Forget it, kid. I'll leave the token with you first, but you have to promise me not to cause more trouble for me!"

Ling Muxiao immediately smiled and nodded rapidly.

"I will obey your order. I will be careful in what I say and do, and will never disappoint you!"

However, he had already started planning in his mind how to use this token to win over more court officials in the palace.

That night, the bell of midnight rang quietly, and Ling Muxiao, the legendary "useless prince", quietly got up from his quilt like a night owl, and tiptoed towards the secret base with Ling Ze.

Here, Wen Yan'er, who was sleeping, seemed to have the alertness of a cat. Ling Muxiao's slight movement instantly made her open her shrewd eyes and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Humph, what tricks is this deposed prince planning to play?

She made some calculations in her mind, then she somersaulted and called out to Zhu'er. The two of them followed Ling Muxiao's "cat steps" silently like shadows.

Although Ling Muxiao bears the title of "useless", the pride and strength of the royal blood in his bones are not just for nothing.

With a few nimble leaps, he was like a monkey in the forest, and instantly left the two "trackers" far behind.

Wen Yaner stamped her feet.

How come this loser suddenly started cheating?

At the beginning, the Wen family had their eyes on the dark horse Ling Chenyu.

Who would have thought that he would fail halfway, so he had to settle for the second best and choose this seemingly gentle prince.

But who would have known that this prince was actually a blockhead who didn't understand romance.

She had to use all her tricks to barely marry into the family, but ended up with nothing but a name.

In fact, the prince looked down on her and never slept with her.

What made her even more headache was the "accident" that happened at the banquet.

Let her get entangled with Lu Youwei, the chubby legitimate son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Although Lu Youwei is fat, he is extremely well-informed.

He always brought her some palace secrets, such as the news that the prince was plotting to revive his power.

She originally wanted to exchange information with Lu Youwei at night, but unexpectedly she discovered another secret of the prince.

Humph, it seems that this deposed prince is not completely useless.

She was thinking about exchanging information with Lu Youwei today, so she pretended to be asleep.

I didn't expect to discover the prince's secret.

Wen Yan'er pondered secretly in her heart.

However, since she had seen it, she had to stir up this muddy water. Maybe she could get some benefits from it!

Wen Yan'er and Zhu'er exchanged glances, and they walked towards the place where Lu Youwei was hiding.
