Dongfang Hao walked out of the manor and headed straight for the Residence of Duke Rong.

Although it was late in the night, Shang Yiqing and Ying Ying were still awake. Hearing Dongfang Hao's signal, the two of them immediately became excited. Dongfang Hao had returned by this time, which meant that he definitely had news for everyone.

"Qi King, how is your investigation going?" Shang Yiqing could not help but ask.

Dongfang Hao glanced at her. "Princess Rao, I've found out that South Yulan's junior brother has sided with King Xuan. Furthermore, King Xuan is plotting a rebellion …"

Without waiting for Dongfang Hao to finish, Shang Yiqing had already started to shout loudly, "Good, good … I knew this guy wasn't a good person! Isn't he plotting to get the throne by scheming against Fang Zinan? "

"Listen to what Dongfang Hao said …" Ying Ying spoke up to stop her. Even if they were in her own residence, it was already the middle of the night. If she continued bawling like this, it might just be heard by others.

Shang Yiqing looked at Dongfang Hao, "Go on."

"Esteemed wangfei, has your emperor already made a testamentary edict?"

"That's right!"

"That's right!" Dongfang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Tonight, I found out that King Xuan wanted to send someone to see the Emperor's testamentary edict!"

"Send someone to peek at the emperor's testamentary edict?" Shang Yiqing and Ying Ying asked in shock at the same time.

Dongfang Hao looked at them calmly. "King Xuan wants to know the contents of the Emperor's testamentary edict. If it was him, it is possible that he wouldn't act against the Emperor. If it wasn't for him, I think he would have acted against the Emperor very soon — right now, Duke Rong's army is winning and Duke Xuan doesn't have much time left, so he will definitely try his best!"

"Although I know that King Xuan is not a good person, I am also surprised that he dares to do so openly. It directly threatens his position in the court. King Xuan had plotted to murder both King Ning and King Ding, and now, only Fang Zinan is left as a stumbling block, so if he can't even get rid of Fang Zinan, then the crown prince's position would belong to him. You have to know that our emperor has no sons, only these few princes are the most direct successors to the emperor. " Shang Yiqing analyzed the situation clearly.

Ying Ying couldn't help but smile. She hadn't expected that the usually impulsive and unthinking Imperial Concubine Rong would think of so much in such a short amount of time, and that everything seemed to make sense. She asked, "Then does Imperial Concubine Rong think of what to do?"

Shang Yiqing's face fell, "No, none of them."

Dongfang Hao couldn't help but find it funny. He asked while enduring his anger, "Then, did you say so much just now without thinking at all?"

"I was thinking about this, but I haven't thought about it yet!" Shang Yiqing stuttered as she turned her gaze towards Dongfang Hao. She didn't know why, but she felt that Dongfang Hao could think of a good plan.

Dongfang Hao paced a few steps back and forth in his room. "This matter isn't easy for us to handle."

"Why?"

"Think about it, although it's wrong for King Xuan to peek at the testamentary edict, if we stop him, once it's exposed, the Emperor will mistake it for Prince Rong coveting this matter as a disadvantage, right?"

"But if we don't make a move, will we let King Xuan win for nothing? If he saw that Fang Zinan was written on the testamentary edict, wouldn't it be the same? " At this moment, Shang Yiqing didn't realize that if the emperor were to write Fang Zinan the testamentary edict, he would be the future emperor. She didn't think of this and only thought that King Xuan would deal with Fang Zinan if she knew. Those who did not know that they were born with the title of Marquis did not know how much wealth and prestige they had. In fact, compared to ordinary people, they would have to go through countless dangers. Of course, these dangers came from the struggles between fellow tribes.

Dongfang Hao looked at Shang Yiqing indifferently. Honestly speaking, he didn't know what to do, he just felt that he had agreed. If he didn't do well for others, it would be embarrassing, but … He was also a prince of the Kingdom of Dongyu. However, unlike Prince Rong, he was not at the heart of the struggle. He was also aware of some matters regarding the palace's battle of wits and courage!

Ying Ying thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Since this matter is against Prince Rong, why don't Dongfang Hao sneak into the palace and stop them when they are making a move …"

Shang Yiqing's eyes lit up, "I've already thought of a good plan!"

"What method?"

"Since Dongfang Hao has infiltrated Prince Xuan's mansion, he must have the medallion of King Xuan's mansion. He could've brought his medallion into the palace; even if he failed, he would've pointed the clue to King Xuan. That way, Zi Nan himself wouldn't be affected much."

Dongfang Hao's eyes revealed an expression of praise. "Princess Rong is indeed clever. She even thought of this. Since everyone has said so, then I will also sneak into the palace." Saying that, he laughed: "I wonder how are the guards of the Dongyu Imperial Guards? "I'm afraid that with my abilities, not only will I not be able to sneak in, I will also be caught." Dongfang Hao gave a self-deprecating smile.

"How is this possible!" Ying Ying stood up, unconvinced. "Dongfang Hao, you can definitely sneak into the palace with your skills."

Shang Yiqing also nodded in agreement, "I know that the Qi King's martial arts will definitely not be inferior to the King and Brother Xiao's, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to infiltrate the palace. Even if they were to be discovered, with the power of the Qi King, they would definitely be able to escape. "

"In that case, let's follow the plan!" As Dongfang Hao spoke, he stood up and walked a few steps towards the door, "It's getting late! I need to return to Duke Xuan's manor first. If the people there discover that I'm not here, they will definitely be suspicious! "

Ying Ying walked over to Dongfang Hao's side with concern. Yin warned, "King Xuan's Estate is heavily guarded. Moreover, there are many experts. You must be careful there. Don't let anyone discover your whereabouts!" Dongfang Hao was, after all, still a dignified prince. Now that he had come to the Southern Marsh Kingdom, he was actually willing to lower himself and lower himself to infiltrate the Xuan King's manor to become a spy. This was truly difficult for him.

Dongfang Hao cast a sidelong glance at the concern and guilt in his beautiful eyes and couldn't help but laugh. "Yingying, you're overthinking things. No matter what I say or do, it's actually not up to you to change my mind! The reason I agreed to accept Princess Hua-Yang is because I saw the Southern Marsh Country sending troops to help us, so it's not really anything. "

"Since the Qi King can put it this way, then I shall not say any word of thanks!" I will definitely repay you in the future. " Shang Yiqing said boldly.

"Rongfei, you're too polite!" As Dongfang Hao spoke, he walked over and shook Ying Ying's hand. "I'm leaving. Stay in the Rong King's Manor and don't act rashly." Dongfang Hao also knew that Ying Ying was being pursued by King Xuan, so he strongly believed that after Ying Ying returned to the Southern Marsh Kingdom, she would first move to the Rong King Manor. First, the two girls would look after each other, and secondly, they would be able to escape from King Xuan's entanglement.

Ying Ying didn't say a single word as she simply looked at him. Dongfang Hao waved his hand and disappeared into the night. Under the moonlight, his figure flashed a few times. However, after a few flashes, his figure was gone. He had already walked far away!

"Don't worry, Dongfang Hao's kung fu is so high, he'll be fine." Shang Yiqing comforted her.
