Qianhun whispered, his usually clear expression now showing a hint of sadness and uneasiness.

"Didn't you send the message to me?" Bai Ren opened his eyes again, and a glimmer of light flashed in his cold eyes.

"The Emperor won't allow it. He has filled the area around the prison with people. He's not trying to protect me, he's trying to protect us. That's why I'm worried!"

Qianhun lowered his eyes and said sadly, "I don't know if I am used to living in there. This time, I took too much risk for Prince Changning's matter. But fortunately, Prince Changning is heading to Yuecheng just as I expected. If my guess is correct, he will arrive in Yuecheng before dawn!"

Bai Ren got down from the bed, "No matter how the emperor takes precautions, we have to go see the master!"

Qianhun stopped him, "No, the relationship between me and the emperor is very delicate now. If we act rashly, it might backfire! I think we should wait. When Prince Changning enters the palace, he will naturally think of ways to deal with me. Then we can deal with them accordingly!"

Bai Ren hesitated for a moment, and seemed to think that Qianhun's words made sense, but he was still worried and asked, "What does the emperor mean? You explained the situation to the emperor, but he didn't react?"

Qianhun shook his head. "That's what I'm worried about! Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Although the emperor is usually kind and amiable, and has a close relationship with our grandfather, this time it involves the rumor about the will, and the lady... The emperor actually named our lady the queen..."

Qianhun looked very uncomfortable. When did the Emperor become involved with his wife?

Bai Ren's eyes also darkened. Thinking about the dispute between the Emperor and my master today, he was present at the scene, and it was hard to say how tense the situation was between the two!

"Forget it, you should just recover from your injuries. I'll go check the news.

, look where Prince Changning is!" Qianhun raised his eyebrows and walked out, "What happened in the past is in the past. Since I didn't pursue it, I just want to give you a chance, Bai Ren, don't let me down!"

Bai Ren nodded and went back to the bed to heal his wounds. Qian Hun was right. He had to heal his wounds quickly before he could help his master.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Outside the gate of Yuecheng, Yue Chengning, dressed in white, rode on a white horse. He looked up at the weathered city wall and waved his hand, asking the guards behind him, who were all in mourning clothes, to rest where they were.

Although Yue Chengning only brought a hundred guards with him when entering the city this time, there were still several thousand people who secretly disguised themselves as civilians and were more than ten miles away. They would enter the city at daybreak and wait for the right opportunity to cooperate from inside and outside.

"Master, I have news. Prince Yongnan has not made any unusual moves and is staying in the prison. In addition, the emperor has made Lan Shuiyao the queen. Although it was only verbal, our people said that the emperor seemed very serious and dragged the betrothal gifts into the prison!"

Yue Chengning sneered. He never thought that two women would cause the two brothers to become enemies. It really was God’s help for him.

But he would not let Yue Nanxuan succeed. There should be a man who is a good match for Lan Shuiyao by her side, but it is not Yue Nanxuan, nor Yue Nanchen. It can only be him, the future new emperor of Nanyue!

When he thought of this, Yue Chengning felt his heart surge. Back then, his royal brother had deprived him of his military forces and handed them all to Yue Nanchen. He even left a will to make Yue Nanchen the emperor.

He was unwilling to do so, so he had to use the Queen Mother's hand to hide the will and make Yue Nanxuan the emperor, because he knew that the Queen Mother had always been afraid of Yue Nanchen's coldness and bloodthirstiness, so how could she be willing to hand Nanyue over to him!

The reason

It was the Queen Mother's momentary confusion that brought him a new turn of events. A few days ago, when he left, he thought it would take at least ten years, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he, Yue Chengning, was back!

When the sun slowly rose, the ancient city gate creaked open, and Yue Chengning rode into Yue City facing the rising sun with full of ambition.

A new day has begun, and new hope is about to begin!

Early in the morning, General Li He, who was ordered to guard the palace gate, saw the huge group of people, especially the mourning clothes that were particularly dazzling in the early morning light.

"Go back and report to the emperor that Prince Changning has arrived!" Li He whispered the order, and the soldiers hurried into the palace.

Yue Chengning waved her hand, and the troops stopped outside the palace. A guard went to the palace gate. Li He hurried down from the palace wall, "It turned out to be Prince Changning. I wonder if the prince has the emperor's order when he enters the palace?"

Prince Changning clasped his fists and said, "General Li, we are old acquaintances. My princess was poisoned, so you must have heard about it. I came back this time to seek justice for my princess!"

Li He sneered in his heart. He saw with his own eyes that Yue Chengning beat Dong Qing'er outside the palace gate that day. She was clearly an unwanted woman, but now that he heard that she was dead, she came to the door shouting for justice. He didn't know whether she was sincere or not!

Li He remained respectful as usual, "Your Majesty, I am very sorry. I just want the Emperor's order to come to the palace. Why don't you wait for a moment? I will send someone to ask for instructions. Is that okay?"

Yue Chengning nodded and waved his hand, and everyone stood by. He knew that Yue Nanxuan would definitely let him enter the palace. Dong Qing'er was dead, and he had enough reasons to openly and honestly

Big one enters this palace!

Soon, the soldier came back and whispered in Li He's ear for a while. Li He nodded, waved his hand to signal the soldier to withdraw, and then clasped his hands and walked out of the palace gate.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The Emperor is waiting for you in the palace. He is very sad about what happened, but he said that you can just go into the palace by yourself and these guards can be dispensed with!"

The secret guard behind him stepped forward, but was stopped by Yue Chengning waving his hand behind his back. He pretended to be sad, lowered his eyes, and entered the palace alone.

Yue Chengning did not expect Yue Nanxuan to use this trick, but even so, he was not afraid. He still had his secret guards in the palace. As long as he gave the secret signal, someone would stand up!

Walking slowly towards the towering palace on the jade stones on the ground, Yue Chengning tightly grasped the sword he carried with him. He was qualified to wear a sword when he met the emperor. This was the reward given to him by his elder brother when the emperor was alive.

Walking up the stairs step by step, Yue Chengning's expression became more and more solemn, and his mood became more and more excited. This day has finally arrived, and success or failure depends on this one move!

In the majestic hall, Yue Nanxuan frowned with a heavy heart, and the civil and military officials on both sides were also serious, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Dong Wenhua knelt on the ground and asked the emperor to severely punish Lan Shuiyao and avenge his daughter before the emperor issued an edict to enthrone Lan Shuiyao as queen.

"Prince Changning comes to see you!" The eunuch's shrill voice rang out in the hall. For a moment, all the civil and military officials had their own thoughts in mind, and their expressions varied.

Footsteps were heard, and Prince Changning, dressed in white, with white cloth wrapped around his arms and holding the hilt of a sword at his side, walked into the hall step by step with a sad expression.

At this moment, he completely concealed his hostility and gloom.

His heart was immersed in grief, as if he was just a man who had lost his beloved wife. "Your Majesty, long live the emperor. Please make a decision for Cheng Ning!"

His shouting excited Dong Wenhua even more, and he also shouted, "Your Majesty, please help me. My beloved daughter died tragically!"

Yue Nanxuan raised his eyes to look at Yue Chengning who was kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, how can you be so polite? Someone, please give me a seat!"

The servants immediately brought a chair forward and placed it aside.

"Uncle, please come and sit down!" Yue Nanxuan relaxed his brows and greeted him warmly.

Yue Chengning raised her eyes to glance at Yue Nanxuan, and seeing him suddenly smile ambiguously, she felt a little uneasy, but she still insisted on kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not agree to severely punish the murderer, Chengning will not get up!"

Yue Nanxuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Uncle, do you know who the murderer is? Then bring the murderer to the palace quickly, and I will take care of it for you!"

When Yue Nanxuan said this, Yue Chengning frowned deeply. He knew that Yue Nanxuan was good at making jokes, but he had made full preparations today, so how could he let him get away with it so easily?

He knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, Cheng Ning doesn't know who the murderer is, but the person died in the Blue Water Clinic. Your Majesty, who is more responsible for the death of Cheng Ning's beloved wife? Doesn't Your Majesty know?"

There was a questioning tone in his words.

"Uncle, now that we are at this point, I want to ask you, why was Aunt sent to the Blue Water Clinic by my brother? Since Uncle divorced Aunt in front of so many people, why is he asking me to make the decision for him? If I have to make the decision, I'm afraid only Minister Dong has the right to do so."
