Although the Second Prince is now far away from the capital and in a place far from the center of power, he is still a potentially huge threat.

Like a bomb buried deep underground, ready to explode at any moment, the slightest carelessness could disrupt his entire plan.

Unexpected situations are inevitable, so they must be removed as soon as possible to prevent future troubles, just like removing a thorn in one's eye or flesh, leaving no hidden dangers.

There are also the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess. In the Chengxiao Kingdom, the rules for inheriting the throne have never been restricted by gender; ability and prestige are the key factors.

In this way, the two princesses, who had already come of age and possessed outstanding talent and extraordinary wisdom, had built extensive connections and gained considerable prestige in the court.

It was also a huge stumbling block on his path to the throne, like a roadblock, standing in his way that he could not afford to leave unchecked.

He needed to send a message immediately, through that secret and efficient intelligence network, to have his loyal and capable agents, who had been carefully placed in various locations, prepare to take action.

Fourteen days later, when the Emperor succumbs to the poison and dies, that will be their death day. Let these people go to the Yellow Springs together to accompany their elder brother.

He sneered inwardly, a cold and cruel laugh that seemed to echo from hell.

I really am a "kind" and "thoughtful" younger brother.

Such "thoughtful" concern for the emperor's lonely journey to the underworld, culminating in the special arrangement for so many brothers and sisters to accompany him.

Thinking of this, Ning Chenxing's smile deepened, but it was as cold as the frost in the dead of winter.

It exudes endless coldness and cruelty, as if it can freeze everything around it into dust, making people shudder.

As for the youngest princess, she is still very young and her mind is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Like a delicate yet fragile flower in a greenhouse, they are completely unaware of the dangers of the court and the cruelty of power struggles.

It wouldn't hurt to keep her. Such a naive and unsuspecting little girl would be easy to control, and perhaps she could be cleverly used in the future.

To become a key piece in one's own hands, playing an unexpected and important role in this complex, labyrinthine court game full of power struggles and calculations.

She can be used to restrain various forces at the appropriate time, or as a bargaining chip to gain greater benefits for oneself.

Thinking this, a calculating glint flashed in Ning Chenxing's eyes, a glint like an evil star twinkling in the night sky.

He quickened his pace, heading towards his palace. His shadow receded into the distance along the long palace path, stretched longer and longer by the dim palace lanterns.

It was as if a huge shadow was looming over the entire palace.

He was already plotting a more meticulous and ruthless next move.

It's as if they're drawing a grand blueprint with power as ink and conspiracy as brush, but the underlying color of this blueprint is the blood and tears of countless people.

Night fell like a boundless black silk ribbon, hanging heavily and completely enveloping the vast land outside Beijing.

Qin Qianluo's farm, embraced by the thick, inky night, is like a secluded, tranquil island, immersed in a peaceful, slumbering atmosphere.

The hustle and bustle of the day has faded away, leaving only the gentle sound of the wind, which lingers like a ghost around the farm, telling of the silence of the night.

Suddenly, a deep and powerful roar, like muffled thunder from the depths of the earth, was heard, deep yet penetrating, approaching from afar.

With overwhelming force, like a sharp giant blade, it instantly tore through the dark night.

A black SUV, like a black panther lurking in the night, arrived silently, exuding a mysterious and sharp aura.

It came to a steady stop in a very secluded corner outside the farm.

The car's lines are smooth yet strong, resembling the physique of a cheetah, exuding a restrained yet powerful sense of strength.

Under the gentle caress of the faint moonlight, the surface of the car body shimmered with a cold and mysterious luster.

It seemed to blend into the surrounding darkness, as if it were part of the darkness itself, indistinguishable from it.

With three crisp and clean "swish" sounds, the doors of the SUV opened one after another, and Su Jinyun and the other two quickly and nimbly got out of the car.

They wore specially made dark night clothes that hugged their body curves, allowing them to move freely and blend perfectly into the night.

Su Jinyun was agile and nimble, like a cheetah poised to pounce. Her eyes were sharp and determined, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, discerning everything in the darkness.

Xuan Ying moved with lightness, like a nightingale hidden in the dark night, her steps as light as if she were walking on clouds, making almost no sound.

Xuan Yu, on the other hand, had a calm and composed expression, like a silent and resolute mountain. He followed closely behind, each step firm and powerful, revealing a reassuring and composed demeanor.
