Prince Jin raised his head and looked at the twilight sky. There was no trace of starlight at all, only a crescent moon hanging above him. He suddenly felt depressed and frustrated, as if an invisible hand was pressing down on his chest.
"Prince Jin hasn't slept at such a late hour, are you admiring the moon?" Prince Chen carried a cup of wine to him with a smile.
"Tonight's moonlight is not good, and there's nothing much to reward," the Prince Jin faintly sighed, "I just feel that there's something in my heart that I can't rest at ease about."
"Ah," Prince Chen patted his shoulder, "Nephew need not worry too much, tomorrow is our big day, no matter what happens, I will have to let it go."
The Prince Jin squeezed out a smile to reassure him. "Once the mother is gone, my nephew will be able to rely on my royal uncle."
"Of course," Prince Chen's eyes flashed with a bright light, "Your mother passed away in the palace for no reason, Royal Uncle will definitely investigate everything for you."
The Prince Jin laughed sinisterly, "Actually, I also know this very clearly in my heart. Other than the Queen, that wicked woman, is there anyone else?
"The empress is vicious indeed, luckily she gave birth to a useless crown prince," the Prince Chen said with a smile. "The empress killed my Yun Niang and also killed your mother, so I will definitely not let her off easy."
"Royal Uncle," the Prince Jin's eyes were dim, "Are you still thinking about the Mrs. Heyi?"
"Naturally," the Prince Chen smiled with his head lowered, a glint of light flashing across his eyes. "Ever since the emperor snatched her away from me, I couldn't rest in peace for even a moment. I wanted to beat my way into the palace and bring her back to my side."
"There is a way to be a hero and a beauty," Prince Jin's lips raised into a bitter smile, "Wasn't it because of Yu Zhu that I participated in seizing the throne?"
"The Crown Prince is like a father and son to the Emperor when it comes to seizing the love by force."
"Actually, the crown prince is not worthy of your concern," Prince Jin's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness, "That Prince Duan is the one that is worth worrying about the most."
"Prince Duan is …" The Prince Chen muttered, "He is the child of the Yun Niang."
"But he isn't your and Mrs. Heyi's child," Prince Jin hurriedly said. "He is the Emperor's prince."
The Prince Chen thoughtfully nodded his head, "I know, but does he look like the Yun Niang?"
"It's not like that, he's more like the Emperor," the Prince Jin said resolutely. "The Royal Brother just said that tomorrow would be our big day, why is he thinking about the other things?"
"Yes, yes, yes," The Prince Chen said with a smile, "Has Prince Jin thought of how to become a good emperor?"
Prince Jin was startled and hesitated: "Isn't it uncle Huang who is sitting on the Dragon Throne?"
"Royal Uncle is already old," the Prince Chen chuckled. "But the Prince Jin is still young."
"Your nephew doesn't dare," Prince Jin hurriedly bowed. "General Lin is my royal uncle's man, your nephew only relies on your uncle for this day. Your nephew only wants to avenge Yu Zhu and the mother, and does not dare to go overboard."
"You are quite sensible," the Prince Chen laughed with satisfaction. "Why do you think the emperor doesn't like you?
The Prince Jin clenched his teeth, "The Emperor isn't praising me, I can only rely on uncle Huang. In the end, the Empress Chen looked similar to the Mrs. Heyi, and gave the crown prince a good birth."
The Prince Chen smiled and shook his head, "Your majesty is truly a shallow person. Your majesty is only similar to your majesty's, but your majesty is actually bewitched by her for a moment."
"That's why," the Prince Jin laughed, "It's still uncle Huang who has a deep affection for the Mrs. Heyi."
"I can live for the sake of the Yun Niang without marrying for the rest of my life, but Your Majesty is from the Three Palaces and Six Academies. I really don't know why she wants to follow the Emperor."
"The Emperor is a sovereign of the country, who would dare disobey him?" Prince Jin laughed bitterly, "Whether it is the crown prince or the emperor, why can't the ones with great authority receive them?"
"However, the person who holds the power of the dynasty will soon become you and me." Prince Chen looked at him steadily.
Prince Jin looked at him worriedly. "Royal Uncle, I always feel that tomorrow's matter is very suspenseful."
"There's no need for you to worry," the Prince Chen consoled, "Your Royal Father is probably still sleeping soundly, and didn't notice these things at all. You probably haven't told anyone else about your General Lin, right?"
Prince Jin's heart tightened as he hurriedly tried to prove the truth, "This matter is of utmost importance. I have definitely never told anyone else about it."
Someone came from outside the door. "My prince, General Lin has something to ask you to come over."
"I understand," the Prince Chen replied, "Then I'll be going over first. You should rest early. Make sure to rest well."
"Yes, Imperial Uncle."
The Lv Ying of Xinyang Hall had already stopped falling into the flower, and the extended branches were filled with layers upon layers of flowers.
Xue Ronghua helped Chu Zongge put on his armor and sighed lightly, "In the previous world, I have fought many battles, repelled the Northern Dipper, encircled and annihilated Chiron, and even led troops to ambush the Great Qi.
"It's just a battle," Chu Zongge consoled, "Sword lights and sword shadows, smoke filling the air, which battlefield is not like this."
Xue Ronghua's eyes dimmed, "You … If you are to go to Prince Chen Palace this time, he and Prince Jin will not wait there for you to surround them. "
"Don't worry, I can guess that the Prince Jin and the Prince Chen aren't that stupid," Chu Zongge said as he caressed her black hair lovingly. "I have set up an ambush outside the palace at many places, I won't let these two traitors escape."
Xue Ronghua was a little worried again, "When you were at Chiron, did you go to the battlefield?"
"Of course, I would have to go to the battlefield to volunteer myself before the Emperor," Chu Zongge smiled, "Don't underestimate me."
"I didn't underestimate you," Xue Ronghua's voice gradually became deeper, "I was just very worried for you."
Chu Zongge gently patted her head. "The road to become an Overlord is always filled with thorns and thorns, no one can escape unscathed."
"Alright," Xue Ronghua sighed, then said softly, "Is it worth it to spend so much time and energy to ascend the throne?"
"In my previous life, I spent even more time and effort on Chiron, and lost when I was just one step away from success," Chu Zongge said as he stared at her steadily, "If I don't try, how would I know that you are the one in a million."
Xue Ronghua smiled, "What you say is right. You must be extra careful tomorrow."
"Why do I feel like you're sending your husband off to a distant wife, leaving late?" Chu Zongge's eyes were filled with playfulness.
Xue Ronghua shyly looked at him, and said: "Don't make fun of me, just pack up and quickly check if you still have something else missing."
Chu Zongge's smile became wider and wider, and he took out a sword from the side. "This king still needs a vice general, does Consort Wang want to go with me?"
Xue Ronghua was startled, she looked at him with disbelief, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy," Chu Zongge lowered his head and kissed her fingers, then passed the treasured sword in his hand to her. "I want to go with you."
Xue Ronghua received the sword in a daze. The emerald stone on her sword sheath was glowing green, illuminating her gloomy eyes.
"This is the treasured sword that the Liu’sArmy struck the mountains for the Great Ancestor back then. I will pass it to you now."
Xue Ronghua was greatly moved, and said gently, "It's been a long time since I've been to the battlefield, do you believe in me?"
"I naturally believe in you," Chu Zongge said as he lowered his eyes and smiled, "Others only say that we have cultivated at the same speed for ten years, cultivated at the same speed for a hundred years, and slept together with each other. However, for us to be able to stand together on the battlefield against an enemy, it is fate that we have not been able to cultivate for thousands and thousands of years."
Xue Ronghua's eyes moistened as she excitedly hugged Chu Zongge's arms.
The light of the Changchun Palace was so bright that it was blinding, the crown prince sat below and said something to the Empress Chen.
Empress Chen slammed the cup onto the table heavily, his eyes wide as he asked, "The Emperor sent people to surround the Prince Chen Mansion?"
"Yes," The crown prince said in a trembling voice, "He still sent the Prince Duan there."
The Empress Chen asked anxiously, "Why is the Emperor surrounding the Prince Chen Mansion? Could it be that the Prince Chen is planning to rebel?"
"This son does not know," The Crown Prince shook his head blankly. "Prince Duan surrounded the Prince Chen Palace overnight and placed all of his wives under house arrest."
Empress Chen calmed himself down and took a deep breath, then looked at him suspiciously. "Strange, you're obviously the crown prince, why didn't the emperor ask you to go?"
The Crown Prince was startled, then smiled apologetically: "This son will not lead the troops, the Prince Duan will, and this son is the Crown Prince, how can I send him out so casually?"
Empress Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance, "If only you were the one who went to the manor. If only you were the one to accomplish something, then it would be considered a great merit."
The Crown Prince quickly waved his hand, "Your son doesn't dare to go. If anything happens, who's going to be the crown prince?"
"Alright, alright, don't go," Empress Chen looked at him with disdain, "Prince Jin is still lying on his Weiyang Palace, why haven't you entered the palace after so long, and don't you care about the mother anymore?"
"This son does not know, but this son has secretly sent people out of the palace to look for the Prince Jin, and has not been able to find anything."
"Your subordinates are just as useless as you," the Empress Chen berated. "I keep feeling that there's injustice in my heart. Prince Jin has been to the palace once before, could it be that he said something to him?"
"When mother went to see the Noble Consort that day, she was gone," The Crown Prince said with a smile. "Noble Consort would never have had the chance to say anything to him."
The Empress Chen drank a mouthful of tea without batting an eyelid. It was not easy for him to close his mouth, so he didn't want another Prince Jin to come up.
"Has there been any movement from the Prince Duan side?"
"Not yet, the Prince Chen is not in the Duke Palace, I wonder where he went."
"This Prince Chen was once on bad terms with His Majesty, but now he has started to become restless again," the Empress Chen impatiently closed the tea lid. "It's fine if he caused some big trouble, but at every family dinner, he would always look at me with a strange gaze. It's really annoying, and it's best to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him."
"But this son still thinks that royal uncle is very good," the crown prince happily smiled and said, "When he was young, he often brought candy from outside the palace for this son to eat."
"At that time, you also thought that Prince Jin was not bad," the Empress Chen frowned, "I still don't know how the Prince Jin plotted to kill us both outside the palace."
The crown prince laughed, "Don't worry mother, Kang Zhiming was pushed out to be beheaded yesterday. He is also gone, I am afraid that he does not have the ability to make a comeback."
Seeing his innocent look, Empress Chen could not help but laugh, "You, don't think too easily about it. There is still one more Prince Duan, after we finish dealing with him, we will have to deal with him."
"Don't worry mother. Prince Duan is easy to deal with."
Empress Chen lowered his head, thinking to himself, "We should get them married soon."
"Empress," an eunuch rushed in hastily and kneeled on the ground. "Something terrible has happened."
