"I never imagined you'd been plotting this all along?"
Xiao Nan Gua would naturally not let him succeed.
If they succeed, they will lose all their usefulness, and wouldn't they die even faster?
He gave a faint smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
“Brother, I have never been your greatest enemy. Xiao Xiyou is.”
"Didn't you really see it clearly?"
Xiao Nan knew his current situation and that he had to shift all his attention away from these issues.
Xiao Xiyou is a very good target for transfer.
Sure enough, when Xiao Dongyang heard these words, he seemed to be lost in some kind of memory.
Xiao Xiyou is indeed quite capable; he was just an unfavored prince before.
My mother was just a palace maid who had died long ago and was no longer in favor.
This served as a reminder to him.
If the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Cao were to take action, it would mean that the world would soon change hands.
As for who this master is, it will be chosen from among the three of them.
Xiao Xiyou is currently enjoying great success and possesses strategic acumen; he is a rare talent.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists tightly.
It seems there are still quite a few people whose problems need to be addressed.
Xiao Xiyou had no idea that some people had already secretly regarded him as the biggest scourge.
However, he is now starting to rebuild on the streets of the city.
Winter is almost here, and if we continue to let them do this, the people will have a very hard time getting through the winter.
Their winters are very cold, and many people in the surrounding areas freeze to death every year.
The Emperor is currently ill and doesn't even attend to state affairs, let alone these trivial matters.
Zhou Zhizhi has been very busy these past two days. If she could become His Majesty's sword, then the sword would be useless now.
So he simply became the imperial advisor and did what he could.
The situation in the court has already caused quite a stir, and they have no idea what His Majesty is really up to.
But they must see His Majesty to quell their anger and unease.
Zhou Zhizhi possesses immense strength and is also quite skilled in martial arts.
For her, these kinds of physically demanding jobs were a piece of cake.
The reconstruction after this disaster is indeed quite difficult, and the imperial court still needs to allocate some silver. However, if His Majesty is not present, then naturally no one can allocate this silver.
Xiao Xiyou looked at the mess on the street. Many people were now homeless. Although the sun was relatively strong during the day, it always got a bit chilly at night.
"Shouldn't we rescue the Third Prince first?"
Zhou Zhizhi already knows about this.
If the Third Prince isn't rescued, the Empress has no interest in governing the country, and the government is already controlled by Eunuch Cao, which is obvious to anyone with a brain.
Zhou Zhizhi was also very clear that the eldest prince was a fool, but he still had a favored concubine behind him giving him advice.
"Perhaps what we can do is start with the people around the eldest prince."
"Although he is a bit slow-witted, he does have a few smarter people behind him who give him advice."
Xiao Xiyou was already very clear about the struggles and conflicts between the two of them.
Zhou Zhizhi hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask the system first.
"System, system, help me pinpoint the exact location of the Third Prince."
Zhou Zhizhi didn't say anything, but sat on the stool next to her, seemingly sipping her tea, while in fact she had already begun a conversation with the system in her mind.
[Ding dong, the system has detected that the host's request is to save someone, points +10]
[Searching for the exact location of Xiaonan Gua...]
[Reporting to the host, the exact location of Xiao Nan Gua is the Imperial Palace.]
Zhou Zhizhi found it somewhat unbelievable, but such news was still within reason.
After all, it is quite difficult to transport someone out of the palace, especially the third prince.
"Be more specific!"
She refused to believe that they couldn't even find a third prince.
At that moment, a slight crackling sound of electricity suddenly came from the system.
There seems to be a slight hiccup. If any problems occur during this time, the system might not be back up for several days.
"Don't die! Answer the question before you die!"
Zhou Zhizhi was genuinely anxious.
The Third Prince really cannot die now, even though he is petty and has done many evil deeds.
But since the Third Prince is still useful, we must let him stay for a while longer.
[Detected...the First Prince...in the basement...sizzling sound]
Zhou Zhizhi didn't know if her guess was accurate, but she couldn't escape the fact that this matter was related to the eldest prince.
basement?
Could it be that there is a completely sealed basement beneath the Crown Prince's palace?
Zhou Zhizhi felt as if a flood of memories had suddenly rushed into her mind.
Without noticing, the person next to him suddenly stood up.
With an expression of disbelief, he only realized there were other people around him after he finished.
Xiao Xiyou held the teacup in his hand, quietly observing her.
It was as if something even more novel had happened, which was quite remarkable.
Zhou Zhizhi turned her head and saw that burning gaze. Suddenly, for no reason, she felt guilty.
"There's something I might tell you that you won't believe, but I suspect the Third Prince is in the palace."
Zhou Zhizhi's eyes were particularly determined, even though this system was indeed quite unreliable.
But ultimately, they don't lie, so everything they say is believable.
"oh?"
"Where exactly in the palace? Does the Imperial Advisor have a rough idea?"
"The palace is too big; we can't possibly search every single bedroom."
"Even my father couldn't do that."
Xiao Xiyou was intrigued. If they could really find out, then the eldest prince wouldn't be able to escape this time.
That idiot had been wanting to get along with him for a long time, and many things had become worse because of his stupidity.
Xiao Xiyou is currently unable to fully utilize his abilities, otherwise he would have already been completely eliminated.
Given my current abilities, dealing with someone is actually a very simple matter.
However, the eldest prince's mother was one of the emperor's more favored concubines.
If something really happens to the eldest prince, it might escalate the matter considerably.
