"Your Majesty, please do not worry about this matter," the emperor said with a sullen expression. "Since I have proposed this method, I will certainly make every possible preparation. Moreover, I am his biological brother. How could I possibly harm him?"

He lowered his eyes and spoke in a stern voice. The empress dowager was startled and closed her mouth in annoyance.

Prince Yu was secretly resentful. He thought about it over and over again, but could not think of any rebuttal. He could only stare at the emperor with resentment.

He was clearly seeking revenge!

Prince Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred. If he had known this would happen, he should not have leaked the news to him before. Even if someone else became the emperor, it would be better than him.

The emperor was too lazy to say any more words. After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Prince Yu gritted his teeth, and after he left, he bowed to the Queen Mother and took his leave.

The Queen Mother gently stroked her forehead and sighed softly, "These two brothers..."

There was a hint of smile in his tone.

Song Shiwei lowered his eyelashes to hide his pensive look.

Judging from the current situation, the Queen Mother seems to be very happy to see the irreconcilable brotherly relationship between the Emperor and Prince Yu.

The emperor is determined to stand on Jiang Zhiyu's side, but Prince Yu has a grudge against Jiang Zhiyu. So, can I use Prince Yu?

And the Queen Mother.

Although the emperor had contradicted the empress dowager before, he still had a little respect for her. But today, for some reason, Song Shiwei could feel that the emperor was only filled with disgust towards the empress dowager.

Song Shiwei had an idea and walked to the Queen Mother and massaged her shoulders.

After leaving the Cining Palace, the emperor's gloomy expression gradually softened. Looking at Fu Ping, who was hesitant to speak, he said coldly, "Why, do you also think this is inappropriate?"

Fuping shuddered, bent over and shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. I don't understand any of this."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There is something I don't know if I should tell you..."

"Speak frankly."

"I've seen Chao En chatting privately with the ladies-in-waiting of the Cining Palace quite a few times these days," Fu Ping said cautiously, observing the Emperor's expression. "Didn't His Majesty ask me to find out who leaked the news about Censor Jiang's birthday banquet? I suspect it was Chao En."

The emperor pondered for a moment, remaining silent. When the two of them were almost at the imperial study, the emperor finally spoke: "Continue investigating. If there's any movement, don't alert the enemy."

Fuping responded in a low voice.

…

After Prince Yu left the palace, he went straight to the residence where the Nan Gu envoys were housed. As soon as he stepped through the door and before he could say anything, he saw a familiar figure sitting beside Tudora's bed.

Prince Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.

The man turned around when he heard the voice and Prince Yu was suddenly struck by lightning.

Why is it her again?!

Is it so haunting?

Jiang Zhiyu had the same idea as him.

She looked at Prince Yu with disdain.

[It feels like the air has become smelly since this person came in.]

Prince Yu was so irritated by the undisguised disdain in her eyes that the veins on his forehead started throbbing.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Zhiyu took out a mask from the kitten's purse, put it on, and then said, "My friend was injured, so of course I had to come and visit him."

"Why is Your Highness Prince Yu here?" Jiang Zhiyu looked at his empty hands and chuckled, "I remember now. The mad horse that injured Princess Nan Gu belonged to Your Highness Prince Yu. Your Highness Prince Yu must have come to apologize."

Prince Yu choked.

He originally wanted to prepare some gifts as a pretense, but he was angered by the emperor in the Cining Palace, so he only wanted to win him over as soon as possible. After leaving the palace, he immediately rushed here.

Who would have thought that Jiang Zhiyu was also here!

"That's right. I have prepared a lot of apology gifts. I am worried about the princess's injuries, so I wanted to come and see her as soon as possible and then send her the apology gifts."

Erzhu Huaji stood up, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to Prince Yu.

"Prince, you don't have to be so polite. How is the princess?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My life is not in danger," Erzhu Huaji said softly, "I just need to rest in bed for a while."

As soon as he said the first word, Prince Yu was stunned.

After Erzhu Huaji finished speaking, he saw that Prince Yu did not respond at all, so he called out a few more times in confusion: "Prince? Your Highness Prince Yu?"

Prince Yu finally came back to his senses, and when he spoke again, his voice was much softer than before.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but shudder. Even Tudola, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but bend her fingers.

Jiang Zhiyu then remembered that Prince Yu was also a voice control person!

[Oh no! He fell in love.]

"I am fine. How old is the prince now? Is he married?"

Erzhu Huaji didn't know how his thoughts jumped to this point in an instant, and shook his head and said, "The coming-of-age ceremony has just been held, and there are already two princesses in the palace."

Erzhu Huaji looked at him suspiciously. Could it be that he wanted to win him over with his beauty?

After understanding the situation, Prince Yu's eyes flashed with regret, but he quickly convinced himself.

It's okay to be experienced at the beginning, as long as you don't get bored later.

He was about to speak when Jiang Zhiyu suddenly stood up.

"Let's stop here for today. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Prince Yu will probably not go home until late at night. Perhaps he won't go home even then and will find an excuse to stay overnight.

[I don't want to be in the same room with him for such a long time. Please take care of yourselves.]

Jiang Zhiyu looked at Erzhu Huaji and Tudola with sympathy, then turned and left.

Although the others were confused, it was better for her to leave so that it wouldn't interfere with the subsequent conversation.

Erzhu Huaji's expression changed slightly, and he bowed to him again and said, "Thank you for your help today, Your Highness."

Prince Yu helped him up, then sat down with him and said softly, "There's no need for that. I'm sure you all understand what I mean. Our goals are the same."

Erzhu Huajin and Tudora exchanged a glance, and Tudora spoke weakly, "Your Highness is right. I wonder what Your Highness wants us to do?"

Prince Yu said in a cold voice, "Kill the emperor and help me ascend to the throne. When the task is accomplished, I will offer five cities to Nan Gu, as well as anything else you desire. No matter what it is, I will satisfy you."

Emperor Killing?!

Erzhu Huaji lowered his eyes slightly.

"This matter is of great importance. We don't have much time left in Tianqi. Your Highness has made all the necessary preparations. If we start from scratch, I'm afraid we won't have enough time."

Prince Yu's eyes softened a bit, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "When I came to the capital, I had already arranged everything. You don't have to worry. Just provide me with the Gu worms when I need them."

If it were just that, they could naturally do it. However, Erzhu Huaji and Tudola looked at each other again. They didn't know Prince Yu very well. If they agreed to it easily, it would be fine if it succeeded, but if it didn't, wouldn't it implicate them?

Thinking of this, Erzhu Huaji said, "Of course, but if Prince Yu is unwilling to reveal everything, then he should at least tell us some important details."
