Wang Juan finally chose to surrender. He lowered his head and said, "I am willing to go to Xiling and become an envoy to welcome the Grand Princess of Xiling."

Emperor Dongqing walked up to Wang Juan, helped him up, and said, "You look a lot like your mother. Do your job well. As for Shen Yue, I will help you find her."

Emperor Dongqing took two steps forward, stood there, and said, "Wang Juan, you are indeed my son, as ruthless as I am."

Wang Juan lowered his head, not daring to let Emperor Dongqing see the hatred in his eyes.

The eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and the crown prince all heard the news that the princess was killed by bandits, and their reactions were different.

When the second prince found out, he just smiled and said, "The emperor is so cruel. He actually killed the eldest princess."

"Why didn't we get the news?"

Xue'an wondered why they didn't get the news?

Zhou Hui smiled and said, "It's just killing a dog, why do you care so much?"

The eldest prince does not have deep feelings for the eldest princess and they have little contact.

Upon hearing the news, he just said that he would burn incense for him later.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were sad and worried, after all, they were the Eldest Princess's allies.

*

Wang Juan traveled far to Xiling, and the third prince also lay dormant, so the position of the crown prince was very stable.

The capital city became calm, but beneath the calm, there were undercurrents.

Half a year later, Emperor Dongqing was assassinated and seriously injured, and the prince dispatched Fang She to surround the palace.

Not only that, he also surrounded the Third Prince's Mansion and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Emperor Dongqing was seriously injured and unconscious, and the crown prince was in charge of the overall situation of the former dynasty.

The queen is in charge of the harem and does not allow anyone to contact people outside the palace.

Zhou Hui sat in the Second Prince's mansion, eating hot pot and drinking wine with Yin Ren and others. His life was quite comfortable.

"Master, when are we going to rescue the emperor?"

Yin Ren picked up a piece of meat, put it in the pot, and asked in confusion.

"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer! He won't die anyway!"

Zhou Hui left him a chance to live and would never let him die.

"Oh! Cang Yu is ready and is ready to attack the palace at any time."

Cang Yu is the leader of the Black Spirit Army, and his men are absolutely loyal to the Second Prince.

"Ok!"

Zhou Hui nodded. Cang Yu was the person created by Zhou Hui before.

After the Shen family was murdered, he disappeared with the money.

He hid in the mountains, mined, built factories, trained soldiers, and researched firearms.

After Emperor Dongqing was assassinated, Zhou Hui transferred him back to Beijing.

He knew that this was a conspiracy by Emperor Dongqing, mainly to see if the prince could withstand the temptation.

However, Zhou Hui planned to take the opportunity to seize power and directly confirm the fact that Emperor Dongqing was seriously injured.

As they were enjoying their meal, someone from below came in and said, "Your Highness, Miss Liang wants to see you!"

"Well! Let her in."

Zhou Hui's hands kept moving, he had already guessed what it was.

Liang Jiaoyue came in and saw Zhou Hui and the others eating hot pot.

She couldn't help but think of the situation in the Third Prince's Mansion, and a sense of sadness rose in her heart.

"I've met the second prince!"

Liang Jiaoyue bowed respectfully, completely unlike her previous carefree attitude.

During these days in Kyoto, she realized the difference between the royal family and the common people.

"Miss Liang, there's no need to be so polite. Have you had dinner yet? Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"

Zhou Hui invited Liang Jiaoyue to eat hotpot, because hotpot is more enjoyable when there are many people eating it.

Liang Jiaoyue didn't hesitate to sit down and said, "Okay!"

There was a hot spicy soup pot boiling in the pot, and vegetables, meat, meatballs and other things were placed on the table.

She picked up the meat and scalded it. When she put a piece of meat in her mouth, it felt spicy and numb, and tears came out.

"so spicy!"

Liang Jiaoyue has a light diet and rarely eats such spicy food.

Xue An poured her a bowl of water and recommended: "Miss Liang, if you use some water, it might not be so spicy."

"Let me try."

Liang Jiaoyue quickly washed it off with water before she felt she could eat it.

She put down her bowl and chopsticks, handed the letter in her arms to the Second Prince, and said, "I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but I thought about how the Third Prince helped me a lot in the past. So, I delivered it to him."

"As for what you will do, I don't care."

The emperor was seriously injured and unconscious, and the entire Kyoto was under the control of the prince.

The third prince who opposed him was locked up, and the eldest prince was also detained in the palace.

Among all the princes, only the second prince was able to move around easily.

Zhou Hui took the letter but didn't read it. He just ate the hot pot seriously.

Seeing that he was indifferent, Liang Jiaoyue couldn't help but say, "You...you don't even want to watch it?"

Zhou Hui blanched some greens in the soup pot again and said indifferently, "It's just a letter asking for help or assistance. What can I do?"

Liang Jiaoyue moved her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Yes! The second prince is a useless person, and he only has guards in the palace. What can he do?

"You should also seldom go to the Third Prince's residence. The Crown Prince has sharp eyes and ears, and he will definitely know that you have been there."

"Although I can't do anything to you, it's still very easy to imprison you."

Zhou Hui kindly reminded Liang Jiaoyue that the prince was not a gentle man.

Otherwise, what happened in Huayue Tower would not have happened.

If Liang Jiaoyue threatened his ascension to the throne.

He will definitely kill Liang Jiaoyue.

"I see!"

Liang Jiaoyue looked a little depressed. Is this the royal relationship?

Swords are drawn against each other, just for the supreme position.

Liang Jiaoyue walked out of the Second Prince's Mansion in a depressed mood. She was in a very bad mood.

This was expected, but I still couldn't help but feel disappointed.

As soon as she walked out of the end of the street near the Second Prince's Mansion, she was kidnapped.

*

When Liang Jiaoyue woke up again, she saw the prince sitting not far away drinking tea.

"Your Highness, you kidnapped me?"

Liang Jiaoyue thought about what the second prince said, and she didn't expect to be kidnapped as soon as she left the house.

"What are you talking about, Miss Liang? I just want to invite Miss Liang to stay for a few days."

The prince was wearing a yellow brocade robe. The seemingly plain yellow clothes were embroidered with dark patterns, making him look extremely luxurious.

He put down his teacup and acted very friendly.

But Liang Jiaoyue thought he was hypocritical.

She got off the bed, walked to the prince and sat down, saying, "I wonder when your highness will let me go?"

"Soon! When I become the Emperor of Dongqing, Miss Liang will be able to return."

The prince was 90 percent sure that he would be able to ascend the throne.
