“There are gains and losses. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. It’s hard to have a perfect solution in this world.” The elder of heavenly secrets shook his head.

“Fourth brother and the others aren’t a cause for concern. They’re just a bunch of mud, and this Prince doesn’t care about them. It’s mainly because second brother, the Gu family is still on their side. This is not easy to handle. ”

A series of urgent knocks on the door interrupted the first Prince’s words.

The Butler’s voice came from outside.

“This servant has an urgent matter to report!”

“Come in.” The first Prince said.

The door was pushed open, and the Butler walked in from the outside before closing the door.

After bowing, he began to report.

“The second Prince has sent word that he has cut off all contact with all powers and has even submitted a Memorial to take Gu Ying as his concubine. At the same time, there is also news that they will take in more than ten concubines to help the imperial family to spread the branches. They are letting the people in the residence find suitable women. ”

The first Prince waved his hand, indicating that he should leave.

After the Butler left.

“What is second brother doing? Let go completely or cover it up?”

“It should be the latter! At this point, it’s impossible for him to give up and spread rumors to deceive the public. I’m afraid he’s secretly plotting something to set us up!” The elder of heavenly secrets solemnly said.

“He’s not worthy!” The first Prince coldly snorted.

“Get someone to pay close attention to him. Among them, he’s the only one who’s barely enough. The others are not worth mentioning. Once there’s news, we’ll kill him with a thunderous strike.”

“Send people to keep an eye on the other princes as well. We can’t let our guard down.” The elder of heavenly secrets warned.

“I understand.”

“What do you plan to do with eunuch Zhu and the others?”

“We’ll keep them for now. When we need them, we’ll ask them to help. However, we must be careful not to let them notice our plan. ”

Tapping his index finger on the table, the first Prince’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he spoke again.”There’s one more person you need to be careful of. I’m afraid that he’ll jump out again and cause trouble.”

“Xiao ran?” The elder of heavenly secrets immediately guessed.

“Yes.” The first Prince did not hide anything.

“Third brother’s matter was messed up by him. If he didn’t appear at the critical moment with the true dragon Token, I’m afraid he would have succeeded. If we fight with second brother and the others to the point of dying, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us if he is roped in. No matter how well prepared he is, if he uses the true dragon Token and mobilizes the Army of the Dragon plateau camp, he will be completely crushed. ”

“You want to …” The elder of heavenly secrets didn’t finish his sentence.

“Not bad!” The first Prince nodded.

“A man can’t be without poison. At this point, I won’t allow any accidents to happen! He would find a chance to get rid of him and then snatch the true dragon Token from him. If we have the true dragon Token, even if something happens, we can still mobilize the Army of the Dragon plateau camp and turn the tide. ”

“What about the eldest Princess? If we use the true dragon Token, she won’t let us go. If Xiao ran is dead, she will investigate at all costs. ” The elder of heavenly secrets had a grave expression.

“If it’s really time to use the true dragon Token, it’s already a matter of life and death, why care so much? Killing one was enough, killing two was a profit! If I fail, no one can sit on that throne. If I die, we’ll all die together! As for aunt’s revenge, it’s a sure death situation, why would you care about this?” The first Prince said.

“Alright! I’ll have someone keep an eye on him. ” The elder of heavenly secrets solemnly agreed.

The first Prince stood up from his chair and left.

They arrived at the backyard.

He happened to meet Yang Fei. Seeing that she was admiring the peach flowers, he suddenly felt an itch there. He didn’t think much of it and thought that she was missing him.

In addition, happiness had come too suddenly, and he had started to supervise the country. He wanted to “share” it with her.

He walked over and hugged her from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and asked softly,”what are you thinking about?”

“Argh! Your Highness, why are you here?” Concubine yang was shocked.

Recently, something strange had happened to that place. It had started to turn red.

She didn’t dare to say it, didn’t dare to find the imperial physician, and didn’t dare to think too deeply. She could only attribute all this to her missing the first Prince too much.

Being hugged by him, Xia Fei’s cheeks flew, and her beautiful face immediately turned red.

“Go! We’ll talk inside. ” Holding her hand, the great prince walked toward the bedroom.

……

Emperor Shengwen’s imperial edicts made the situation in the capital even more chaotic. The first Prince was like a catalyst, making the situation that had just eased tense again.

A somber atmosphere filled the air and shrouded the capital.

In this battle for the heir apparent, all the forces began to move.

There were too many implications, and no one could stay out of it.

As the night fell …

In a large courtyard, there were some uninvited guests. Each and every one of them had their faces covered and wore night clothes. They only brought one trusted aide with them and had them stand guard outside. Then, they entered the hall.

When everyone was present, he took off the face cloth covering his face, revealing familiar faces.

The fourth prince, the fifth Prince, the sixth Prince …

Good Lord, almost all of them are here.

They would conspire for four hours to form an alliance of interests, which was secretly called the princes ‘Alliance. They would advance and retreat together, integrate resources, and share information to deal with the more complicated situation.

There was no second Prince in the princes ‘Alliance. Just as the second Prince had expected, he was excluded.

There were also a few princes who didn’t come for some reason.

The princes who were absent were destined to be eliminated first.

No one wanted to see an accident happen, and no one wanted to see someone hiding in the back and waiting to reap the benefits.
