The snake woman was worried about the little dumpling, and her scarlet vertical pupils instinctively narrowed.
Emperor Liang, who was standing in front of him, did not notice anything amiss. He sat back down in frustration, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation returned to silence once more.
She watched from the roof beam for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief and disappearing completely.
It seems that the entity behind the little dumpling is truly powerful, employing methods that even Emperor Liang could not detect. No wonder they dared to send this little one over.
Perhaps this time Emperor Liang will really suffer a great loss and stumble!
The snake woman hummed a little tune in her heart and subconsciously wanted to start dancing to celebrate in advance.
However, upon turning his head and seeing Emperor Liang's half-dead expression, he snorted coldly again.
What bad luck!
It's nothing more than relying on the luck of those with great fortune, and the methods of other demons!
Emperor Liang, you are about to face a great calamity!
She'll definitely step forward and stomp on it to vent her anger!
…
The night is still long.
Emperor Liang finally calmed down and turned to pick up the memorial.
Completely unaware that the Crown Prince had already begun a secret plot, determined to kill his own father with a single sword, just as Emperor Liang had done when he forced the emperor to abdicate!
"What am I afraid of? With the help of the Yan State's Grand Preceptor, I'm sure I can capture it easily this time!" The Crown Prince, dressed in brocade robes, paced back and forth in the brightly lit hall.
However, whenever the hailstones pounded against the windows outside, he would instinctively shrink back and his hands would tremble.
"Your Highness!" A man in a gray cloak walked in from outside, took off his bamboo hat covered in snow, revealing a blue robe underneath.
"Sir, what did my maternal grandfather say?" The moment the prince saw the man, he couldn't wait to walk over.
The scholar in the blue robe shushed him, then pulled the prince into a private room and whispered, "Your Highness, the general says he will make all the necessary preparations and is just waiting for your order!"
"General Lian shares your glory and your loss, so he would never lie to you."
The crown prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. With his maternal grandfather's words, his chances of winning were much greater!
In his previous life, his father was chased and forced to flee in a sorry state by the Yan Kingdom's Grand Tutor.
Having been reborn in this life, with the support of the imperial advisor and his maternal grandfather, he refuses to believe he can't seize the throne!
The scholar from Qingshan continued, "However, the general also said that it was not a wise move for you to cooperate with the Yan State's Grand Preceptor. That person has boundless magical power and cannot be controlled at all. I'm afraid he will be a disaster in the future."
The Crown Prince nodded: "I am very clear about this, but we have no choice but to cooperate for now. Let's get rid of Father Emperor first!"
The scholar in the blue robe opposite him fell silent. He fiddled with his abacus, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Is the Grand Preceptor of Yan really so easy to find? Why did his follower suddenly appear in the capital and then get discovered by the Crown Prince?
However, he had also witnessed the methods of that national advisor firsthand. The other party was indeed incredibly powerful, even able to control the lightning in the sky.
So, what exactly is missing?
…
Mountain God Temple.
The system is also asking the host questions.
"You say you don't want the Crown Prince to sit on the throne, but if you really help him and kill that Emperor Liang, the Liang Kingdom cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the Crown Prince will definitely still be pushed to that position!"
"Once he sits on the throne, it will be difficult to change anything you want to do!"
The system flapped its wings, flying back and forth on the lake, looking at its host with a somewhat speechless expression.
At such a crucial moment, they actually have the leisure to fish here!
You're so carefree!
Yu Luo held a bright green bamboo pole in her hand and casually waved it. Another earthworm jumped up and willingly pierced itself into the hook.
"System, you may have forgotten something."
"What's up?"
“We had previously speculated that the evil spirit was likely to control the government and was the mastermind behind driving out the great scholar Murong. But now it seems that the snake woman is not capable of doing that at all, and she would not stoop to doing it.”
"So who is the mastermind behind this, besides the emperor?"
Yu Luo's words stumped the system.
Yes, who is the mastermind behind all this, hiding in the capital and stirring up trouble?
With a gentle tug, Yu Luo caught a carp. After enlightening the carp, he released it back into the water and continued casting.
"Remember that high-ranking official who was connected to Shicun? Since he was the mastermind behind the Shicun plan, then most of Xiao Hei's body must have been taken by that official."
"He holds a high position of power and also possesses demonic abilities. Do you think it could be him?"
The system listened thoughtfully and said, "I think it's pretty close!"
Yu Luo pulled out another small silver carp. She used her enlightenment ability to give the fish sentience and then released it back into the water.
The small silver carp swam in the lake for half a day, and as it swayed its tail, deep whirlpools appeared one after another in the lake.
It looked somewhat reluctantly in the direction of the mountain god, then plunged in, and all the whirlpools disappeared.
The system, however, could hardly bear to look at the schools of fish lining up in the lake waiting to be hooked.
This is truly a case of the mountain god casting his line, waiting for those who are willing to take the bait!
Yu Luo swung her legs, regaining consciousness in the little koi fish once more, and said lightly, "Yes, those who are willing will take the bait!"
Whether it's true or not, as long as the bait is placed here, the fish will always take the bait!
Not far away, people approached the temple and chanted prayers there.
"Thank you, Mountain Goddess, for allowing us to survive this cold winter. If we hadn't come to this desolate mountain, my daughter would have perished long ago, and I would still be living in misery..."
