After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

In this situation where the princes are competing with each other and the situation is chaotic, each prince is like a ferocious beast hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and the slightest carelessness will trigger an earth-shaking turmoil.

Especially the older princes, as they grow older, they can no longer suppress their inner anxiety and eagerness, and can't wait to seize any fleeting opportunity to ascend to the pinnacle of power.

Emperor Jiade was already over fifty years old, but he still handled state affairs with ease and control, and his health was also quite good.

What is surprising is that even so, this shrewd and capable emperor has yet to decide on the position of crown prince.

According to the current situation, Emperor Jiade can at least sit firmly on the dragon throne that symbolizes supreme authority for another ten or eight years.

During this period, he could slowly observe the young princes who were gradually growing up to see if he could find a more suitable heir to the throne among them.

However, very few people knew about Emperor Jiade's painstaking efforts and true intentions.

It's not that he doesn't want to determine the successor as soon as possible so as not to disappoint his many sons, but it involves a lot of things and there are many concerns. What's more, none of the princes available now are high-quality candidates who can continue the prosperous era.

But it was precisely because the current emperor had neither clearly announced who the next heir would be, nor shown any obvious preference for any of the princes, that the fire of hope was ignited in the hearts of almost all the princes, who firmly believed that they were qualified to compete for the supreme throne.

As a result, the court and the harem fell into endless open and secret struggles. If Emperor Jiade had not testified personally, the situation would have become a mess.

Time passed by like a white horse passing by, and the princes' inner anxiety grew day by day, like a volcano about to erupt, and the depressing atmosphere permeated every corner.

They knew very well that the fight for the throne was a life-and-death gamble. The winner would ascend the supreme dragon throne and overlook the people of the world. Although the loser would not lose his life, the fate of being demoted to a commoner would also be terrifying.

However, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Since you are not going to die anyway, why should you be afraid?

Therefore, it is not surprising that some princes decided to take a desperate risk.

If Li Shiliu were a prince, she would probably find it difficult to resist such temptation and would be willing to give it a try. After all, facing such huge benefits and power temptations, how many people can really remain calm and composed?

In just a short moment, the extremely intelligent Li Shiliu already knew what was going on. However, if he wanted to stir up a storm in this huge Yuan capital, he would definitely need to mobilize a large number of troops as a backup.

However, in this heavily guarded capital, there are only a handful of forces that can mobilize such a large number of troops.

Apart from those hidden and unknown private armed forces, the most likely ones are the Yuanjing city garrison controlled by the Nine-Gate Admiral, the security forces under the Five-City Sima, and the imperial guards guarding the palace.

So, which side will be involved in today's thrilling battle?

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Li Shiliu's mind. She couldn't help but look anxious, and asked quickly: "Where is Tong Guoan now? Has he done anything unusual recently?"
