What makes people even more desperate these days is that even though there have been uprisings, people are still dying, all of them sudden deaths for no reason.

The world is not peaceful either. An inexplicable force appears out of nowhere and recruits people in the name of expanding the villa. It recruits some apprentices to go to the mountain to practice martial arts, but no one knows what they are practicing.

How would other villas be happy to see the growing number of "Zhuxu villas" that suddenly emerged?

The small forces want to join forces to resist, while the big forces are concerned about matters that have nothing to do with themselves. In their eyes, as long as their interests are not affected, they can turn a blind eye to everything.

This is the indifference of people's hearts and the cruelty of capital.

The situation in the entire Xu Kingdom was changing, and other countries outside the territory had smelled the news. From time to time, they sent people to investigate and harass the border areas. The emperor ordered that the situation of the country be concealed. Although it was effective, it could not cure the root cause.

Looking at the swarming heads, the emperor's chest heaved with anger, and then he snorted coldly, and his gloomy gaze swept over the ministers, exerting great pressure.

"I learned some information from this matter. I will leave this matter to Governor Chen. My dear friends, I believe you will be very cooperative with Governor Chen, right?"

The final note was full of threats, and the horrified ministers nodded in agreement: "I obey the decree."

Governor Chen is the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Xu Qingke raised his head and glanced at the slightly older man. He was His Majesty's confidant and half of his master.

"I obey the order." The old governor followed the order, followed by the young man who lowered his head and had the same serious and cold face as the old governor.

"Ahem, let's go down." The emperor covered his lips and coughed a few times. His face seemed to look paler. I don't know if it was because of shortness of breath or other reasons.

Xu Qingke frowned slightly. It was said that this young man was the apprentice of the old governor and was deeply loved by him. However, he had not been in contact with the old governor for a long time and had never met this person.

The reason why he really frowned was that he felt that this person looked inexplicably familiar.

The emperor directly dispatched his confidants to manage the matter, and secretly asked his ministers to assist Governor Chen in his investigation. The information revealed was shocking.

Is it because the emperor doesn't trust his ministers, or... the person behind this matter is among the ministers?

Not only Lin Lin guessed this, but Xiao Yubei and others also guessed this.

He stroked the envelope sent from the villa, his cold and gloomy eagle eyes full of deepness.

"What does the Dog Emperor know?"

Xiao Ruyu lowered his eyebrows. After hearing these words, he reflexively thought of the strange woman with black and white hair. His eyes flashed: "Your Highness, Ruyu has something to say. Your actions are too anxious. At this point, you have already caused a stir."

We have caught the emperor's vigilance...but this is more than half a year ahead of our original plan."

Originally, the two of them discussed a long-term plan, smearing the emperor's reputation among the people bit by bit, recruiting troops in a low-key manner through "Zhuxu Villa", and then using the Yu family's army in the southern uprising as a lead to devour the entire Xu Kingdom bit by bit.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yubei seemed to be stimulated by something and shortened the plan suddenly, resulting in premature exposure.

Although the emperor may not necessarily be able to associate it with the remaining son, he must have known that Xiao Yubei was heading for the dragon throne.

Hearing this, Xiao Yubei raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Ruyu. The intensity in his eyes was frightening.

"If she waits any longer, she will get married. If she loses once, she never wants to lose a second time!"

"But His Highness is so reckless, and his plan will go wrong sooner or later. Why bother for a woman..."

Before Xiao Ruyu could finish his persuasion, he was interrupted by Xiao Yubei's cold and sarcastic gaze.

"Gu is cold and ruthless for revenge, but no matter how ruthless, Gu still has his own desires. Unlike you, big brother, you are just like a cold-blooded animal."

The stern man in black walked away with a wave of his sleeves, his irresistible strength making people choke.

Xiao Ruyu's gentle expression froze, he knew that he was mentioning his past.

He stood there for a long time, looking down at the scarred hands hidden under his wide sleeves. These were the scars he had made himself after killing the child, every time he had a clear dream late at night, just to punish himself for being such a useless person.

Heart animal.

"Rongrong, I'm sorry..."

It's a pity that the man couldn't hear these words that had been whispered for more than ten years, and he didn't want to hear them.

Xiao Ruyu pinched the blood scab on the scar with a slightly strange expression.

In the past, he personally sacrificed the lives of his children because of his father's words of loyalty to the royal family. Now he is filled with regret and just wants to return to his wife and confess his guilt.

The premise is to survive in this power dispute!

…

When the war is about to start, Xu Qingke and Lin Yunmeng's marriage will naturally be postponed. Although they are not husband and wife yet, they are already like husband and wife in front of the world.

The emperor asked General Chen, who had successfully brought down the epidemic last time, to go to the south again, in order to resist the rebels and to defeat the epidemic.

Because the legendary miracle doctor made great contributions last time, the emperor immediately sent people to find this person, intending to let him go with him again.

Guyu, who was sitting leisurely eating melon in Eden Valley, was stunned by the news.

"What? A fight broke out? Did you get sick? Did you die violently?"

Gu You briefly told what happened in recent days in one breath.

The childish ghost who came to deliver the message twitched his lips and nodded: "Yes, sir. Both the Valley Master and the Mistress think it was Xiao Yubei who did it."

"That remnant from the previous dynasty is quite capable."

Gu You sneered.

His eyes darkened slightly. In fact, he felt that if he told the emperor the news about Xiao Yubei directly, no matter whether the emperor believed it or not, he would always be wary.

However, Lin Yunmeng insisted on getting the exact evidence before revealing the truth. Why?

Lin Yunmeng had this thought before, but first, he couldn't explain why she, a close-knit boudoir lady, knew these secrets.

Second, how can I prove that Xiao Yubei is indeed the surviving son of the previous dynasty with nothing to prove? With her extremely beautiful face?

Thirdly, Lin Yunmeng was afraid that this stick would not kill Xiao Yubei and would give him a chance to come back. The enemy on the battlefield had taught her more than once that she should either not kill or kill him with one blow!

Combining these reasons, Lin Yunmeng chose to delay his development a little bit, and then secretly infiltrated forces in the capital and even the entire world to fight against Xiao Yubei.

The emperor's order cannot be violated. After Gu You rushed back to the capital overnight to receive the order, he took the identity of a censor and took Mu Huan with the army. During this period, the people in Mengqiu Pavilion gathered together and then separated to perform their duties.

job.

At the same time, Xiaojing and Xiaoruo finally returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After pulling Lin Yunmeng to cry, before many people saw the two returning home, they were directly thrown back to the Meng Prison Pavilion by Lin Yunmeng.
