The military power in the southern border is of great importance and is like a sharp sword in the hands of the king.

As the crown prince, he will take over everything in the future. If he makes any calculations, he would be stupid and seeking his own death!

Emperor Yong understood his son well enough. The prince had behaved impeccably over the years, and what pleased him most was his honesty and obedience.

He never made friends with the ministers in private, nor did he establish his own power in the palace. He just conscientiously fulfilled his duties as a crown prince.

This plot against Guo Xiuyun was definitely not the work of the prince.

Among his other sons, the third one is a sickly child, the fourth one is still a child, but the second one is the only one who is ambitious, scheming, and has the ability!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong pounded the jade table hard, making a dull sound.

When Eunuch Huang saw this, he cried out in distress and fear: "Your Majesty!"

He rolled and crawled to the table, begging in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you are angry, you can beat and scold me to vent your anger, but please don't hurt yourself!"

Emperor Yong's eyes turned slightly red. He lowered his eyes and saw Eunuch Huang who was wholeheartedly thinking about him, and his heart suddenly felt sad.

"Huang Pei, I have been so good to him, what else is he not satisfied with?"

"He laid hands on my pillow yesterday, and is plotting against my military power today. What about tomorrow? Will he take my life tomorrow?"

Eunuch Huang was trembling all over. He wanted to persuade him, but he really didn't want to speak for the Second Prince.

He had always been by Emperor Yong's side and knew very well how indulgent Emperor Yong was towards the Second Prince. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not enjoy such favors!

"Second brother... Second brother really disappoints me. It seems that confining him to the clan residence for a year cannot suppress his ambition, nor can it make him put himself in his proper place!"

Emperor Yong murmured something, then slowly sat back in his seat.

When Eunuch Huang saw that Emperor Yong seemed to have calmed down, he knelt down beside him and wanted to check his right hand.

However, Emperor Yong suddenly spoke up and said in a cold voice: "Huang Pei."

Eunuch Huang was startled and straightened his back, "The servant is here."

Emperor Yong turned his head and glanced at the wall where Yu Liu's portrait was hung, then abruptly retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice:

"You personally take action and remove all the spies that the Second Brother has planted in the palace over the years!"

Eunuch Huang suddenly raised his head when he heard this, with a hint of disbelief on his face.

When Emperor Yong saw Eunuch Huang's expression, his disappointment with the Second Prince deepened.

Even Huang Pei could see how good he was to the second brother, but the second brother did not know how to appreciate it.

In this case, it's time to teach him a painful lesson!

Eunuch Huang came to his senses, and a storm of emotions surged in his heart. He quickly responded, "I obey your command."

Emperor Yong still felt unsatisfied, so he ordered: "Send a copy of the Book of Filial Piety to the clan house, so that the second son can learn how to be a good son!"

Eunuch Huang hurriedly agreed. He wanted to check the wound on Emperor Yong's hand first, but Emperor Yong waved his hand with a cold face.

"It's okay, go now!"

Eunuch Huang did not dare to disobey the imperial order and hurriedly retreated.

Emperor Yong sat alone in the imperial study, staring at the mess on the floor in a daze for a while. Suddenly, he opened the secret compartment and stood in front of the portrait.

In the portrait, Princess Yu Liu was sitting on a soft couch, smiling sweetly, with gentle eyes and brows, remaining the most beautiful image in his heart.

Emperor Yong stroked Yu Liu's face with his hand, then suddenly clenched his hand into a fist.

"Yu Liu, I have really treated him very well. He was well behaved in the past, and I tolerated his minor fights."

"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. He'd better not push me too far..."

"Yu Liu, for you, I will give him another chance..."

————

The clan house.

The second prince sat behind his desk and did not sleep all night.

Last night Li Xusheng returned empty-handed again. When the Second Prince learned that the imperial guards had suddenly arrived, he knew that he had been completely defeated this time.

He was waiting for Emperor Yong's decision.

"Second Prince."

Suddenly a strange voice came from outside the door.

The second prince raised his eyelids slightly and stood up.

He walked slowly to the door and saw a few young eunuchs who were from the palace.

The young eunuch stepped forward respectfully, holding up his hands, holding a piece of silk with something square wrapped inside.

"Second Prince, the emperor has ordered you to read this book thoroughly."

The second prince thanked him and took the silk.

When the young eunuchs saw that the things had been delivered, they respectfully took their leave as they had to hurry back to report.

When Zhou Bo hurried over after hearing the news, he saw the Second Prince standing at the palace gate, lost in thought.

His heart skipped a beat and he walked closer to take a look. He saw that the second prince was holding a book in his hands with two big words written on the cover - "The Book of Filial Piety".

Zhou Bo's expression suddenly changed, "Your Highness, this... this..."

The second prince had a sinister look on his face, and his hands slowly tightened, but then suddenly stopped.

The next moment, he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

The situation was better than he expected. It was just a warning and nothing serious.

As long as he behaves himself and finds an opportunity to put on a show, it may be possible to bring back the old feelings...

The Second Prince's thoughts had just reached this point when he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the hall.

He turned his head suddenly and saw Zhufeng rushing towards him from the back hall with a very ugly look on his face.

The Second Prince's heart skipped a beat, and Zhu Feng knelt at his feet, saying in a trembling voice:

"Your Highness, Liuyun just sent a message that all the people we placed in the palaces were eliminated within an hour, and no one was spared!"

The second prince's pupils suddenly shrank and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Where are the people from the East Palace and Yikun Palace?"

Zhufeng raised his head anxiously and shook his head in despair at the Second Prince.

The second prince swayed slightly and felt a little dizzy at this moment.

That was all the hard work he put into planning and cultivating bit by bit after he came up with the idea...

He thought he was doing it secretly, but it turned out that he had known about it for a long time, but he did nothing until today when he was dealt a heavy blow!

At this moment, the Second Prince felt cold all over, and he finally realized the horror of an emperor.

Zhu Feng had lost his mind. He looked up at the Second Prince and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Zhou Bo stood aside, extremely anxious, and hesitated to speak many times.

The second prince let out a long breath and slowly calmed himself down.

"No hurry, this is just a lesson. Since he likes a well-behaved and obedient son, I will do as he wishes."

Zhu Feng was worried, "But Your Highness, we lost so many people at once. I'm afraid it will be difficult to control the news in the palace for a while."

The second prince's face was gloomy, and at this moment the poem he saw yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind.

——There are many talented young men in Jiangdong, and it is unknown whether they will make a comeback.

"Zhu Feng, we haven't lost yet. Just wait, during the Longevity Festival, I will naturally return to everyone's attention!"

Moreover, he was holding a sharp weapon in his hand.

That was the last support his mother left for him!
