The long night, so long.

On winter nights, it seems like you will never wait until dawn.

In the palace, both Shou'an Palace and Weiyang Palace are brightly lit all night long.

Shang Huang sat in front of the chess table, looking at the chess pieces on the board, with thoughts flashing in his eyes.

Yuan'er, you have really disappointed your father.

It's really stupid to fall down twice in the same place.

Bai'er has already taken action, how will you respond next?

"Your Majesty's legitimate son is really not a simple person."

At this moment, the hall was filled with black air, and a dark figure walked out and said, "I gave everyone such a big surprise as soon as I came back."

"But it also posed a big problem for me."

In front of the chess table, Shang Huang said calmly, "Such a big thing happened in the capital. The boss will definitely receive the news soon. The boss now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

"Your Majesty, do you think His Highness will rebel?"

The shadow looked surprised and asked, "There are only 70,000 recruits. His Highness should not be so impulsive. He would dare to rebel with only tens of thousands of recruits."

"When a person is in a hurry, he can do anything."

Emperor Shang responded calmly, "The Qingyu Army is already on its way back to the capital, and it is already very close to the capital."

Having said this, Emperor Shang paused, looked at the chess game in front of him, and said calmly, "Bai'er's move has forced the boss into a desperate situation."

"Why did your majesty's legitimate son suddenly become so powerful?"

The black shadow asked in confusion, "Is it possible that there is an expert behind the scenes?"

"Behind Bai'er, there is always a shortage of experts."

Emperor Shang said calmly, "The key thing is that Bai'er has always been unwilling to compete for fame and fortune, so why did he suddenly change his mind."

"Could it be related to the Li family's legitimate son?" Heiying thought for a while and asked.

"You can't tell yet."

Emperor Shang picked up a black stone and placed it on the chessboard, and said calmly, "There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in the Li family these days."

Strangely, the spies he placed around Li Yuan did not see anything unusual in the Li family recently.

"There must be a reason why His Royal Highness suddenly changed his mind."

The black shadow glanced at the night outside and said, "Your Majesty, you should be more careful."

"I understand."

Emperor Shang stared at the chess game in front of him and frowned.

There is no rush to investigate Bai'er's changes. Now, how to deal with the boss's affairs is the top priority.

I have a headache!

"Bai'er, are you saying that the affairs in your eldest brother's palace were arranged by Professor Li a long time ago?"

In Weiyang Palace, Queen Changsun looked at her legitimate son in front of her and asked in a solemn voice.

"Um."

Mu Bai nodded and responded softly, "When I came back, Uncle Xi once said that Brother Li had a gift and had been preparing it for a long time. I will receive it as soon as I return to the capital."

"really."

When Queen Changsun heard the former's answer, her eyes narrowed.

This is not a temporary plan, but a killing plan that has been planned for a long time.

Presumably, this killing situation has been arranged since the fight between the third prince and the eldest prince, or even earlier.

To be one step ahead of the rest of the world is to be considered a national scholar.

"Mu Yao is dead, Mu Yuan is in a critical situation, and your eleventh brother has received a lot of favors from Li Jiaoxi. Bai'er, no one can compete with you as the crown prince."

After a moment of emotion, Empress Changsun spoke and said softly, "Now that this matter is over, you have to thank Professor Li. Without him, the situation of the four kings fighting for the heir would probably last for a long time."

After saying that, Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment and continued, "By the way, your father intends to arrange a marriage between Murong and Li Jiaoxi. In fact, your mother also agrees with this marriage. However, Murong and Li Jiaoxi have always been a little bit concerned about this matter.

Resist, Bai'er. As Murong's brother and Li Jiaoxi's friend, you can help bring it together. Your father has decided on this marriage. If the two of them insist on resisting, it will probably arouse your father's anger.

"

How could the emperor's will be so easily violated?

After hearing what his mother said, Mu Bai frowned slightly and said, "The marriage between Murong and Brother Li should be decided by themselves. Even if my father is the king of a country, he cannot force others to make things difficult for him."

"Bai'er, your words are a bit too naive."

Empress Changsun said seriously, "There is nothing that should or should not be done in the imperial family. Who can change your father's will?"

"It shouldn't be like this."

Mu Bai murmured softly and looked at the dark night outside the palace, with a little light flashing in his eyes.

The royal family shouldn't be like this, and this world shouldn't be like this.

The powerful members of the royal family are unable to control their own choices, and the common people are probably even less able to do so.

Is the world sick?

Brother Li is right, the world is sick.

If we don't change things, when the cold winter comes, it will be the time when rituals and music will truly collapse, and people will eat people.

At the same time.

In the Qingyu Army camp, after Mu Yuan walked back and forth in the tent several times, he finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Fight! The matter has come to this, we can only give it a try."

After finishing his words, Mu Yuan looked at the person in front of him and said solemnly, "After daybreak, I will immediately lead my troops back to the capital to clear the emperor's side and eliminate the traitors!"

Seeing that the eldest prince had finally made up his mind, Li Ziye clasped his fists and saluted, "My lord, I would like to celebrate your highness in advance. After my return, I will lead the Rakshasa army back to the capital as soon as possible to help your highness."

"There is King Lao Buyi."

Mu Yuan said sternly, "Don't worry, King Commoner. As long as I get the position I want, in the future, King Commoner will be the hereditary king of our great merchant!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Ziye bowed again and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, I must rush back, otherwise King Triumphant and others will become suspicious."

"Okay, King Buyi, be careful all the way." Mu Yuan said with concern on his face.

"I excuse myself."

Li Ziye responded, then turned and left.

Outside the tent, dark clouds hide from the moon, and the night has reached its darkest moment.

Li Ziye glanced at the dark clouds in the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.
