Qin Wujing walked into the prison, he, Yang Li, and Bai Shu were intending to meet the Crown Prince.
Both of their eyes were extremely solemn and cold, forming an intimidating aura that was powerful and difficult to approach.
As the guards saw Qin Wujing walking over, they could only duck down to greet him and close their mouths to let the Duke in. No guards dared to comment anything to protect their lives.
Qin Wujing continued walking in until he arrived at the Crown Prince's detention cell. Right now the man behind the iron bars was sitting pensively with both eyebrows fused together. Qin Wujing cleared his throat then bowed, "this Imperial brother salutes His Majesty."
The crown prince raised his gaze and stared intently when he found out the owner of the voice.
"Why are you here?, laughing at me?."
Qin Wujing smiled faintly, "Your majesty misunderstood me, I am here sincerely wanting to offer assistance to your majesty."
The crown prince smiled cynically,"Qin Wujing, don't need to be a good-ass and be my benefactor. I don't need your help."
Yang Li felt displeased when he heard this, he deeply hated the haughty and arrogant attitude of the Crown Prince that remained lit up even in his critical times like this.
Qin Wujing replied with a cold head, "Your majesty, I know you're in a trap. Therefore I am seriously and sincerely willing to help you fight against the third Prince!."
The crown prince looked coldly at Qin Wujing,"you know that this is the act of bed*bah it?."
Qin Wujing smiled, "who else has been able to get you to this?, and again, since his return after being lost for two years began to appear many problems in court. Doesn't your majesty think about this?."
The crown prince was silent, he gripped both of his palms as he thought of Qin Wujing's words. Soon she added extra hatred for Di Fuyi.
Seeing the Crown Prince remain silent, Qin Wujing added, "Your majesty, I have come here to truly sincerely extend a hand to you."
The crown prince was still silent, yet his eyes were staring at that half-closed Qin Wujing face, he was second-guessing the expression behind that black mask. From the voice that Qin Wujing threw at him, it was indeed truly sincere.
The crown prince thought about Qin Wujing's offer maturely, he thought it seemed like Qin Wujing was indeed sincere. Since Di Fuyi's return, the Crown Prince had forgotten about Qin Wujing and focused on Di Fuyi, and he had never felt or heard the news that Qin Wujing had attacked him. If Qin Wujing was really eyeing the throne, then Qin Wujing should have taken the opportunity to attack while he was off guard and too focused on Di Fuyi.
Qin Wujing felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart when he found out the contents of the current Crown Prince's head.
The crown prince stood up and walked over towards Qin Wujing, "alright, this time I will agree."
Qin Wujing smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, "well, then your majesty just needs to behave as usual, you should really show that you are holy and innocent about this corruption case."
The crown prince raised his left eyebrow,"then?."
Qin Wujing,"the rest of his majesty can hand it over to me, I will take care of the others."
The crown prince nodded in satisfaction, "well, then I will wait for good news from you."
Qin Wujing smiled faintly before bowing and walking out. After several tens of meters away from the prison, Yang Li sneered, "don't know if he's really in the Crown Prince's tutelage or not?, no?, his brain works very stupidly and does not reflect how the Crown Prince is."
Qin Wujing flashed a small smile, "one filled with hatred and ambition, and the other stupid and naive."
Bai Shu smiled, "indeed only you are on the straight path!."
Qin Wujing glanced at Bai Shu at a glance then returned his gaze forward to look at the road.
Meanwhile, Di Fuyi and Long Hang were in the secluded courtyard and the slums of the Palace, deliberately making it easier for them to discuss their next plans.
"The current emperor started to pay attention and asked me to help him solve the problem, sooner or later he will give me the official name 'Qin."
Long Hang smiled, "then how?," no matter how sweet he smiled now, it still could not close the coldness in his heart.
"Command the army to stay and hide in the south so that it is easy to attack later" Di Fuyi said, the blue eyes were getting more and more of a dead blue color. There was a lot of hatred that had been piled up in his heart.
Long Hang nodded, "well, I will do,"then he jumped up and went through the very high walls of the Palace.

Xiao Chujiu lay down on his new long chair, his hands as usual holding a picture story book.
"Very busy?."
Xiao Chujiu lifted his gaze upon hearing a heavy voice, his lips smiling,"Wangye."
"From today you are forbidden from inviting anyone to enter Qin Wangfu, even if it is very important."
Xiao Chujiu raised his left eyebrow, "hmm?, why?."
Qin Wujing shook his head, "no, recently I have a new problem, if you casually as usual invite people to Qin Wangfu, I fear one of them is a spy, I am afraid that one of them is a spy, or have been bribed to make trouble here."
Xiao Chujiu nodded, "alright," just now Xiao Chujiu wanted to continue his remark again, Qin Wujing cut in,"Benwang has some business and may be so busy in the workspace that he can't see you."
Xiao Chujiu nodded,"oh.no problem,"his lips smiled.
Qin Wujing nodded casually then kissed Xiao Chujiu's forehead for a while, after which turned around to leave.
Xiao Chujiu stared at Qin Wujing's back which slowly drifted away coldly, he knew Qin Wujing was hiding something. But what?. Is the matter in court so big and chaotic?.

Liu Pingle walked into the prison, her beautiful face was now showing a look of disdain at the sight of the Crown Prince.
Liu Pingle stared coldly at the Crown Prince, "your Majesty, I'm sorry."
The crown prince frowned, as his hand was about to stroke Liu Pingle's cheek, the woman brushed him tight.
The crown prince widened his eyes in surprise and felt disappointed, "Pingle Meimei, what's wrong?."
"I want to break off the engagement with you!," Liu Pingle insisted.
The crown prince deepened the frown on his forehead,"what?!, why?!."
Liu Pingle gazed in disdain at the Crown Prince, "you are currently embroiled in a corruption case and thrown into prison by the Emperor, your Crown Prince title will also be revoked. If I continue to be your fiancee, then my future will not be bright!."
The crown prince slightly staggered back and felt a deep sense of disappointment I heard this. Angrily he pointed at Liu Pingle with his index finger,"you!, how could you possibly do this to me!?."
Liu Pingle smiled faintly, "if you can do this to Xiao Chujiu, why can't I do this to you?."
The crown prince took a deep breath to suppress all emotions in his heart, "you really are a snake!, I broke off the engagement with him for you!, how can you treat me like this now!?."
Liu Pingle stared coldly at the Crown Prince, "your Majesty, sorry, I just don't want my future to be bad."
The crown prince came forward and was about to pull Liu Pingle's clothes from within the bars, he wanted to tear the woman's clothes apart in anger.
"Liu Pingle!, I will not forgive you!."
Liu Pingle walked back to avoid the Crown Prince's hand, then after that he walked out of the prison saying, "stupid man, with just a little temptation you've let down?, disgusting."
The crown prince clenched his hands and squeezed his hair, he secretly felt guilty with Xiao Chujiu.
Meanwhile in the throne room, the officials were gathering, they started arguing. The crown prince's side continued to defend the man, while Qin Wujing's side also did the same, Di Fuyi also turned out to have five supporting officials who managed to survive the previous Dynasty.
"Can't!, It's obvious the Crown Prince is trapped!, how could you possibly ask the Crown Prince to step down from his throne!?," Yi Ji Man, grandfather of the Huanghou maternal family defending the Crown Prince, said, his granddaughter.
"In what trap!?, it was already very clear and accurate that all the evidence was pointing to the Crown Prince. With this evidence already leaked to the public, would the Crown Prince still have the face to defend his title?," Lang Xuan Zhi, the, qin Wujing's grandfather from Huang Guifei's maternal family defended his grandson as well.
"Hey hey hey, all of you are arguing between the Crown Prince and the seventh prince, did you forget there is still a third prince?, he is even older than the seventh Prince!, supposedly the one who replaced the title of Crown Prince was the third Prince!," cried Ruan Deng Li, he was the Minister of Justice who had survived and served the previous three Dynasties.
Yi Ji Man sneered, "The third prince was not even allowed to wear the legitimate 'Qin' clan by the previous Emperor, and again, his mother, Ji Guifei was the daughter of the previous dynasty Emperor. If we raise him, it would be the same as resurrecting a fallen Dynasty!."
Ruan Deng Li retorted, "how can that be said!?, within the third Prince's body is also the blood of His Majesty the Emperor!."
Lang Xuan Zhi also sneered at Ruan Deng Li, "Mentri Ruan, however the third Prince cannot ascend the throne, if he forces, then there will be many who oppose!."
Ruan Deng Li replied to Lang Xuan Zhi, "so you mean only the seventh Prince, your grandson can ascend the throne?."
Lang Xuan Zhi retorted without any reluctance and embarrassment, "of course!, the seventh prince has already engaged in hundreds of wars in order to maintain the peace of our homeland, how could he be inappropriate?."
Yi Ji Man who heard this disagreed, "how could you dare to say such a thing?, the crown prince has not even abdicated from his title, but he has not, yet you have already said that the seventh Prince deserves to ascend the throne and take his place?."
Lang Xuan Zhi replied to Yi Ji Man in a mocking tone, "were not all here to discuss who is the most suitable to be the successor to the throne?, he said?, and again the Crown Prince won't last long in his title."
The emperor felt dizzy in his head hearing the three camps arguing, he finally snapped, "silently!, Zhen asked all of you to discuss calmly!, not a fuss like this!."
All the mouths of the officials were immediately sealed shut, Xiao He had just been silent. He doesn't know who to support. On the other hand she had already supported the Crown Prince from the time of the man's engagement to Xiao Chujiu, but was now void and Xiao Chujiu instead married the seventh Prince.
If he supported the Crown Prince, Lang Xuan Zhi would spray him scathingly for not supporting his own son-in-law. However if he supported Qin Wujing, his good relationship with the Yi family would be broken. So, he finally chose silence.
The Emperor glanced at Xiao He who had been silent, and the great man immediately asked, "Prime Minister Xiao, what do you think?, who is suitable?."
The entire gaze of the eyes immediately turned towards his body as the Emperor raised this question for him.
Xiao He took a breath before replying, "These elders will always support the outcome of the decision, both the crown prince, third, and seventh, they are perfectly suited to be the successor to the throne."
Lang Xuan Zhi who heard Xiao He hang up his answer felt dissatisfied, "Prime Minister Xiao, how could you support his three?, the seat of the throne only fits in the contents of one person. And again, the seventh prince is your son-in-law, you should support him!."
Yi Ji Man spoke up, "Prime Minister Xiao, you used to be very supportive of the Crown Prince, how could you now just turn around and give a cold back?. Have you not considered the Yi family as relatives?, Xiao Lao Tai Jun used to be very on good terms with our Yi Lao Tai Jun, are you trying to ruin their relationship because of this?."
Xiao He gritted his teeth as Yi Ji Man brought his mother into the matter, he only glanced coldly and did not reply.
Lang Xuan Zhi defended Xiao He, "Minister Yi, why do you bring personal relations into political affairs?, so inappropriate!."
The Emperor took a lethargic breath when he heard the two people chirping each other, finally he ordered Eunuch De to disperse the meeting.
As Eunuch De announced this, Lang Xuan Zhi, Yi Ji Man, and Ruan Deng Li were dissatisfied. However they could not comment much, if the Emperor was angry, then it would also not be good for them.
While walking back towards the Emperor's Long Zhi Palace, Eunuch De asked, "Your majesty, how do you think?, who has the right to replace the Crown Prince?."
The Emperor took a cold breath before replying, "Third prince."
Eunuch De widened his eyes, "Emperor, yet..."
The emperor immediately glanced sharply, "what?, you want to argue like those ministers?."
Eunuch De immediately shook his head,"Hamba did not dare!."
The emperor returned his gaze forward, his countenance hard, it was very difficult to guess what was inside the sky's son's head.
