His heart suddenly sank, and a chill went straight up from his feet to his head. Li Chengqian, how dare he? The emperor's body was cold, and he couldn't wait to jump over. Could it be that... he had known that the emperor would die?

All kinds of terrible thoughts swirled in 놖's mind. 놖 bit the tip of her tongue hard and forced herself to calm down. No, now was not the time to have wild thoughts. 놖 had to find a way to stabilize the situation quickly.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is very aggressive. I'm afraid he has ill intentions. What should we do?" He asked in a low voice, his heart full of cold sweat.

Li Rui's face was terribly gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles were bluish-white. "Cheng Qian...he is trying to force the emperor to abdicate!"

놖 took a deep breath, forcing the emperor to abdicate?! This is a great sin against the 깇 clan!

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Should we let the prince in?" he asked anxiously, feeling very nervous and totally at a loss as to what to do.

Li Rui didn't say anything, but just stared at the study door, as if he wanted to see through it.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's roar came from behind the door again, "Li Rui, if you don't open the door, I will have my people tear down your palace!"

"My Lord..." She pulled Li Rui's sleeve nervously. The prince was crazy, and they shouldn't follow him!

Li Rui took a deep breath, as if he had finally made a decision. He grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Qingya, follow me!"

He pulled 놖, walked quickly to the bookshelf, and pressed a book on the bookshelf hard.

There was a slight "click" sound, and the bookshelf actually moved slowly to both sides, revealing a dark secret passage.

“Your Highness, this is…” He looked at the secret passage in front of him in surprise. How could there be such a place in the palace?

"This is the secret passage that my brother ordered to be built in order to guard against the late queen. It leads directly to the palace." Li Rui explained in a low voice, pulling her towards the secret passage.

"Wait, Prince!" He grabbed him and said, "The news of the emperor's death has not yet spread, and you are leaving like this. Isn't this confirming the prince's crime of fabrication?"

Li Rui paused, frowning, "Then what do you say we should do? Since Cheng Qian dared to lead his troops to surround the palace, it means he has made all the necessary preparations. If we go there now, we will undoubtedly fall into his trap!"

"Prince, have you forgotten that you can also read minds?" You held his hand and said confidently, "As long as you can control the prince, we don't have to worry about him messing around!"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, "Qingya, are you really sure?"

"Don't worry, Prince!" 놖 gave him a reassuring look, "We have plenty of ways to deal with this brainless idiot!"

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the study, with Li Rui following closely behind him.

He opened the door of the study, and the dazzling sunlight shone in. He squinted his eyes slightly and saw Li Chengqian leading a team of guards, standing in the yard in an imposing manner, while the guards of the palace were all controlled by them, kneeling on the ground with their heads down and dejected.

"Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What brings you here?" With her arms folded across her chest, she looked at Li Chengqian with a half-smile, her tone full of sarcasm.

Li Chengqian obviously didn't expect that he would suddenly appear. He was stunned at first, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face, "Lin Qingya, you came at the right time. If you know what's good for you, just let Li Rui come and surrender obediently, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang interrupted him, "What else? Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to say that otherwise, we will destroy the Rui Palace and kill you all without mercy?"

As 놖 said this, he used mind reading to spy on his thoughts. Sure enough, this was exactly what this guy was thinking!

놖 sneered in his heart, what an idiot, with such little cunning, he still wants to fight with 놖?

He raised his eyes, glanced coldly at the guards in the yard, and a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness, are you sure that you want to move into Prince Rui's Palace with just these tricks?"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, he heard a series of orderly footsteps coming from the courtyard. Then, a large group of horses climbed over the courtyard wall and surrounded the guards brought by Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you are not the only one with military power in the capital?" She looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and a gentle tone, but he felt creepy when she heard it.

Li Chengqian's face turned pale instantly. He looked at her in horror and asked with a trembling voice, "You... who are you?"

놖 chuckled, walked slowly to him, leaned close to his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, if you want to know who 놖 is, go to hell and ask King Yan!"
