"You heard it right. It was Song Chi who advised His Majesty to give up his father's title."

Luo Yurou heard it clearly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and responded casually, "Oh."

"Um?"

Luo Chuannan quickly said: "Can't you react a little? Your father's title has been demoted."

"So what?"

"You are the Duke of Anguo, but you only have the title and the appearance. What does it matter whether you surrender or not?"

"You...are you my daughter? How can you say such things?" Luo Chuannan originally wanted to seek some comfort from his daughter, but he didn't expect to suffer a blow.

"What I said is also correct."

Luo Yurou yawned, "The Great Zhou is in a turbulent time right now. It's a good thing to be demoted and stay home to avoid the limelight."

"you......"

Luo Chuannan took a deep breath. "No matter what, if you get close to Song Chi again, I'll break your legs. I'm not kidding this time. This guy is so mean! He endorsed the war initiated by Your Majesty and wrote a plan for recruiting soldiers and preparing for war. Tonight at the banquet, he even wrote a conquest manifesto. To please Your Majesty, he completely disregarded the lives of the people and the fate of the Great Zhou!"

He cursed viciously.

Luo Yurou finally regained consciousness and asked, "Did he really do that?"

"Um."

"Isn't Song Chi afraid of being scolded to death?"

"He deserves it!"

Luo Chuannan said viciously, but Luo Yurou remained silent.

At the same time, Crown Prince Mu Yunyin also returned to the Eastern Palace, accompanied by Song Shiwen.

As soon as he entered the room, he kicked over the vase placed at the door, and the vase shattered. Mu Yunyin shouted angrily: "I am the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I have to give up my throne to you, a minister. Damn it!"

Song Shiwen sighed softly, "This has nothing to do with Song Chi. It's just that His Majesty's thoughts...are becoming increasingly difficult to guess and understand."

At the dinner party, the Crown Prince had no presence at all, and it was Prince Qing who stole the limelight instead.

It is hard to say whether His Majesty has other intentions in moving the Crown Prince, which makes Mu Yunyin feel very insecure.

"Luckily, Song Chi has made great contributions. Liang Qingwu has been transferred from Youzhou and is far away from His Royal Highness Prince Qing. This is very beneficial to us." Song Shiwen said, "If there is time, we can second Lin Wu over. Lin Wu has been leading the army for a long time, but because he has never fought in battle and won meritorious service, he has no chance of being granted a title."

Lin Wu is Lin Tianjiao's father, and is also Song Shiwen's relative.

“No need!”

Mu Yunyin said gloomily, "This is also an opportunity. Without the Northern Palace Army, can Xiang Yu's Eastern Guard Army alone defeat the Northern Wei?"

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"The second brother wants to gain prestige and the position of crown prince by winning this war, so we will make him lose the war, let the Zhendong Army die in the Northern Wei, and let Mu Yundi die in the Northern Wei as well!"

Mu Yunyin's face was filled with murderous intent.

Song Shiwen was slightly stunned by this statement. "Your Highness, if the Great Zhou were to be defeated with its current national strength, the consequences would be disastrous."

"If I can secure the position of Crown Prince, it still matters. But if I lose the position of Crown Prince, what does it matter even if the country is destroyed?"

"Your Highness?"

Song Shiwen felt that the prince was a little crazy, but he could also understand that he was simply forced by His Majesty.

"Things haven't reached that point yet."

He said, "As long as Your Highness can become the commander-in-chief, the position of Crown Prince will be secure."

"Father hasn't let anyone know yet. I thought my command was a sure thing, but now it seems there's still room for change." Mu Yunyin said in a low voice, "We must seize the command. Only then can we advance and retreat with moderation. Otherwise, it will be difficult."

"Um."

Mu Yunyin turned around and stared at Song Shiwen, "We must win over Song Chi. Father has great trust in him."

"Well, it was Song Chi who helped a lot this time by transferring Liang Qingwu away from Northern Wei." Song Shiwen sighed in his heart. He hadn't realized that his son had become a close friend of the emperor. He now had a sense of unreality.

"I have to be sincere too. At least I can't let Song Chi turn to the second one."

Mu Yunyin pondered for a moment, then spoke, "I heard that Song Chi, who won first place in the literary competition in Jiangzhou, often went to Fanlou and seemed to have some interest in Ningyu."

Song Shiwen asked doubtfully, "Doesn't His Highness consider Ningyu his concubine? He even said he would make her a noble concubine."

"Humph, women are just tools. Besides, how can a woman who often hangs out in brothels, even if she still has her chastity, be qualified to enter the palace as a concubine?"

Mu Yunyin shouted directly: "Someone come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man appeared and knelt in front of him.

"Go to Jiangzhou and send a message to Ningyu, asking her to come to the capital."

"yes."

The man in black took the order and left.

Mu Yunyin said calmly, "I gave the Ningyu to Song Chi. This is considered very sincere..."

At this time, the carriage stopped at the door. Song Chi got off the carriage and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Deng."

Deng Gang hurriedly said, "Your Excellency's words are too serious. I dare not call you my brother."

He showed humility and even changed his address.

Song Chi asked curiously, "Why do you call me sir?"

Deng Gang explained, "Just before sending the master home, Eunuch Liu told me to stay by his side and protect him."

"This is His Majesty's order," he added.

Song Chi was slightly stunned. He knew that Emperor Yuan Jing already valued him.

yes.

He bore the infamy for Emperor Yuan Jing, so how could Emperor Yuan Jing not take it seriously?

"I see."

Song Chi said no more. Since it was the order of Emperor Yuan Jing, there was nothing to say. Deng Gang was following him to protect him, but he was also monitoring him.

I pushed the door open and entered the yard. The lights in the house were still on.

Su Mingyue came out wearing her coat to greet them and helped Song Chi into the house.
