Shen Yihuan was listening to the big man talking about another group of people. She felt a little helpless as she was being looked down upon. It was not like she was Zhao Xun who had any other preparations.

Well, to be more specific, she didn't seem to have told him about her plans. They, as a couple, had come to the same conclusion through different paths.

However, she did not expect that Zhao Xun would have such a harvest when he went to the south to suppress the bandits. This was a bit unexpected. It seemed that she had underestimated Zhao Xun.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Eighth Prince and others looked at the Crown Prince with grief and anger, but they did not expect that they were all so stubborn and would never beg for mercy.

"Whether I win or lose, I will not regret it!" He said a few heroic words, then drew his sword and committed suicide.

The other two princes, as they had agreed, committed suicide by drawing their swords.

Zhao Xun looked at the three tough guys with a complicated look in his eyes. If they begged for mercy, he would still look down on them. But he didn't expect them to have such a fierce temper, and he felt a little more respect for them.

"Take him away and bury him properly."

"Yes."

Soon, the bloodstains in the hall were cleaned up, and Zhao Xun knelt in front of the old emperor's mourning hall again, continuing to act as a filial son.

The others knelt down as well. Shen Yihuan looked around and took note of everyone's reactions.

Those princes who were originally ready to take action but had been on the sidelines because of their timidity, showed fear in their eyes after seeing the prince's methods.

In fact, Li Erniu's brutal side also frightened these people very well, making many of them dare not act rashly again.

However, these princes believed that as a general, he would never dare to do such a cruel thing without the instructions of his superiors.

When they realized this, they felt sad and their eyes turned towards Zhao Xun with complicated expressions.

It seems that the old saying is true: like father, like son, a wolf cub is worthy of being a wolf cub.

They had been deceived by the illusion he created before.

Among the crowd, Prince Su had the worst expression. He seemed to be afraid that others could not see that he was dissatisfied, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Finally, he couldn't kneel any longer and stood up to leave. As soon as he stood up, Shen Yiluo also quietly stood up and followed him out.

Shen Yihuan thought about it, then quietly stood up and secretly followed them in the direction they left.

Not long after she walked away, she heard two people arguing. She quickly stopped and hid in the corner to eavesdrop.

"What, you want to give up!" Shen Yiluo looked very excited, and her voice couldn't help but get louder. "Prince, you finally got such a good opportunity, and now you tell me you want to give up, are you crazy?"

"I think you are crazy. Didn't you see what happened to the Eighth Uncle and the others?" Zhao Heng asked her to speak more quietly. He frowned and looked at her anxiously, narrowing his eyes and said, "Do you want me to be like them?"

Good one, preemptive strike. Good one, moral kidnapping.

Shen Yihuan sat in the corner with a look of disapproval on his face. Zhao Heng was still the same person as in his previous life. He liked to use moral blackmail and only had himself in his heart.

Shen Yiluo was still unwilling to give up, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, we have finally come this far. If we give up now, all our efforts will be wasted."

She spoke sincerely and really wanted to persuade Zhao Heng not to change his mind. God knew how long she would have to wait if she missed this opportunity.

No, she couldn't wait any longer. She didn't want to live that kind of life anymore, and she didn't want to see Shen Yihuan sitting in the seat that originally belonged to her, not even for a moment.

Zhao Heng was annoyed by Shen Yiluo's entanglement, but he still needed her now, so he didn't dare to say anything absolute, but continued to coax her.

He took her hand tenderly and said, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. I am not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?"

However, Shen Yiluo was not buying his tricks at the moment and felt very anxious.

Her face was very bad, and she spoke without thinking: "Zhao Heng, you asked me why I was so anxious. You also know how much I have paid for you. Have you forgotten it all?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Heng's facial expression changed. He really wanted to shake off this stupid woman's hand and give her a good beating. She didn't know anything, but she kept clamoring to be the queen all day long.

It is not so easy to be a queen. She is a straw bag. Even if he really ascends the throne one day, she is not worthy of being a queen, let alone a concubine of the lowest rank. A woman whose body is already dirty still dreams of being a queen and let the world laugh at him?

Zhao Heng thought gloomily in his heart, but he still looked at Shen Yiluo tenderly, patted her hand and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I will remember all your contributions. Once I gain control of the world, you will be my queen."

"But right now, the timing is really not right. If we rebel now, we will definitely lose." Zhao Heng looked worried and began to show his tea art. "Luo'er, can't you wait any longer?"

"But aren't we all prepared?" Shen Yiluo really fell for this trick. She lowered her voice and softened her tone. "Besides, this opportunity is really rare. There's already a rebellion ahead. They certainly can't imagine that there's another wave behind us. If we catch them off guard, we might succeed," she analyzed clearly and looked at Zhao Heng expectantly.

"You also said, maybe, but what are the chances of success? Are you willing to take the gamble?"

"This..." Shen Yiluo, who originally had no opinion, began to hesitate again. She had finally made up her mind because of her desire to become the queen, but now she was discouraged by Zhao Heng's words.

"What I want is 100%. " Zhao Heng felt that it was about right, so he gave the final blow, "Luo'er, you must believe in me. One day, I will definitely build an empire in your hands." He couldn't remember how many times he had said this, but he knew that this stupid woman liked to hear it very much.

The man's sweet words finally calmed the anxious woman.

Shen Yiluo's eyes were a little confused. With her low IQ, it was difficult for her to debate with the cunning Zhao Heng. After a few words, she was convinced.

"I will listen to your Majesty." She leaned obediently in Zhao Heng's arms, not noticing his disdainful look at all.

Shen Yihuan, who had eavesdropped in the corner, felt it was a pity. He had thought that he could catch them all in one fell swoop and there would be no more trouble, but he didn't expect Zhao Heng to be so cunning that he actually chose to give up.

However, based on her understanding of him, this guy was always overly cautious and rarely acted impulsively.

In fact, it is difficult for him to achieve great things with his indecisive character. It seems that he is not a person to be feared. On weekdays, as long as we monitor him well, he will not cause any trouble.

The main reason why he was successful in his previous life was that Zhao Xun was too absurd. In addition, there were many talented people around him, which allowed him to pick up a ready-made advantage.
