Su Yuntian had always thought that as long as he tried his best to do everything well in front of Su Yi, Su Yi would appear more useless.

Then, because he is the eldest son, Su Yi will always take a closer look at him and give him priority in the succession to the throne.

And Mu Jin, the woman he had never included in his plans, quietly and silently entered his heart at some point.

When he wanted to invite her to join him in creating great things, she didn't give him any chance at all and instead followed that waste Su Yi away.

At this moment, Su Yuntian thought that Mu Jin might be leaning in Su Yi's arms, and that Su Yi would never pass the throne to him in this life, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano, and he felt that he could not wait a moment longer.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor even chopped up those folk pharmacists and fed them to the dogs. It seems that he has completely believed in Nangong Ce."

Huang Xin found that Su Yuntian had no reaction, so he glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and happened to see that Su Yuntian seemed to be in deep thought about something.

At this moment, Su Yuntian had a half-smile on his lips, and there was a hint of evil in that smile. Combined with the coldness between his eyebrows, Huang Xin felt a chill running down his spine.

"What is the name of Li Fuge's granddaughter? Is she married?" Su Yuntian did not continue Huang Xin's question, but suddenly turned his head, looked at Huang Xin, and asked this question.

Hearing Su Yuntian ask this, Huang Xin seemed to have a premonition of what Su Yuntian was going to do, and his heart trembled.

Su Yuntian said calmly: "The position of my princess has been vacant for too long. It's time to find a suitable candidate to fill this position."

Huang Xin frowned and asked, "Does the prince want Prime Minister Li's granddaughter to fill the position of Princess Yun?"

Su Yuntian raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Huang Xin asked again: "Your Majesty, please think twice. One of the ways of being an emperor is to have checks and balances. If you want to marry Prime Minister Li at this moment, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. At this critical juncture, it may cause trouble."

Huang Xin tried to dissuade Su Yuntian, saying: "If the prince likes Prime Minister Li's granddaughter, why not wait until the great cause is accomplished and then marry her? Why bother at this critical moment~"

Su Yuntian raised his hand to interrupt Huang Xin's words. He sneered and said, "Like? I don't even know what that woman looks like, whether she is beautiful or ugly, how can I like her? Besides, is there any other woman in this world who is worthy of my love?"

How could Huang Xin not know who that woman was? He subconsciously wanted to persuade Su Yuntian to give up Mu Jin. After all, Su Yuntian's friendship with Mu Jin was equivalent to friendship with the Mu family.

However, Huang Xin himself is an irreconcilable enemy of the Mu family!

However, before he could open his mouth, he suddenly realized that after the incident at Yanmen Pass, Su Yuntian and the Mu family were like water and fire, and it was absolutely impossible for them to stand on the same side.

Thinking of this, Huang Xin felt relieved and asked, "What does the prince mean?"

"Tell Li Fuge on my behalf that I intend to marry his granddaughter. It doesn't matter which one, as long as she is his granddaughter."

"Also, tell him that Su Yi has formed an alliance with the Mu family. If Su Yi takes the throne, then his years of fighting against the Mu family will only lead to his death. Now he has no choice but to stand on my side."

"As long as he helps me seize the throne, I promise him that the throne will definitely belong to a member of the Li family."

Su Yuntian murmured in a low voice: "All forces must speed up their actions. I cannot afford to lose any time!" After that, the smile on his lips instantly disappeared, and instead, a sinister look like a snake or scorpion slowly crept into his pupils.

The sky brightened and then darkened.

It was time for the shift to change at the hour of Xu. After Mu Yan handed over the tasks at hand to others, he was about to go off duty.

He walked to the Xuanwu Gate and heard two guards on duty whispering.

"Just now, did you see those eunuchs carrying four or five concubines into the emperor's bedroom?"

"It wasn't just me who saw it. The imperial guards and palace people along the way also saw it."

"I was wondering if the magic pill of the Nangong Divine Sect was so powerful? Look at the emperor, he has been having sex with countless women every night for more than half a month without getting tired."

"And every day at the hour of Mao, the emperor can sit in the hall with a radiant face and discuss state affairs with the officials. Even if he stays up for several days, he is still full of energy and seems to have endless energy."

"That's not true. Not to mention the emperor who is over fifty years old, even an eighteen-year-old boy can't stand such torture."

Mu Yan lowered his eyes as the two guards whispered. He pondered for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the night.

When Mu Yan returned to the general's mansion, he still saw Mu Weihou sitting in the central hall drinking tea.

Mu Yan walked up to Mu Weihou and took the teacup from his hand.

"At this age, if you still drink so much tea at night, you might not be able to sleep at night."

"I can't sleep, it has nothing to do with drinking tea or not." Mu Weihou looked at Mu Yan and smiled faintly: "Is it time to go down?"

After saying that, he pointed to a food box next to him and said, "I calculated the time and knew that you would be back by about this time, so I asked the maids in the kitchen to cook noodles for you."

"Thank you dad."

"What do you have to say thank you, father and son? Come and eat quickly. The food was just delivered by the kitchen. It's still hot."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad." After that, Mu Yan stretched out his hand to open the food box, took out a bowl of noodles from it, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Mu Yan quickly finished the big bowl of noodles.

"Is everything peaceful in the palace recently?" Marquis Mu Wei asked when he saw Mu Yan finished eating.

Mu Yan put the bowl down, looking uneasy, and said, "Since Nangong Ce entered the palace and became the imperial physician, His Majesty has taken his medicine and has become a completely different person."

When Marquis Mu Wei heard this, he felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What's the difference?"

Mu Yan frowned and said, "I heard that His Majesty has not slept for several days. He has been having sex with countless women at night and has been dealing with state affairs during the day. His face is unusually rosy and he does not show any signs of fatigue or discomfort."

Marquis Mu Wei was stunned after hearing this and said, "This matter is unusual. Didn't other ministers try to dissuade the emperor?"

Mu Yan shook his head repeatedly: "The emperor took the magic pill made by the former leader of Nangong Divine Sect. Everyone knows that the magic pill of Nangong Divine Sect is special. Seeing that the emperor does not need to rest and can still be so energetic and vigorous, everyone just thinks it is a good sign that God blesses Dongyue."

Marquis Mu Wei looked shrewd and said, "Absurd! Something must be wrong when things are abnormal!"

Mu Yan nodded: "My son thinks so too, but now our Mu family is insignificant and no one will believe what we say."

Mu Weihou's mind was working rapidly, "Who can guarantee that Nangong Ce is Su Yuntian's man?"

Mu Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, "That's not right. The emperor ate the magic pill refined by Nangong Ce, and his spirit and physical strength are better than before. How can this benefit Su Yuntian?"

Su Yuntian once showed his ambition to seize the throne in front of Mu Weihou and his son. He was so arrogant that he was not afraid of their reports. Even if they reported him, Su Yu would not believe it. After all, if Su Yuntian wanted to usurp the throne, he would not tell his enemies so directly.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Mu Weihou's mouth. "Perhaps the emperor's vigor and vitality is just an illusion. One day or at any moment, the emperor will suddenly fall down. This is not impossible."

After hearing Mu Weihou's analysis, Mu Yan thought about it for a while and understood the deep meaning. He was shocked and said, "Dad, what do you mean~"

Marquis Mu Wei suddenly stood up from his chair, walked to the middle door, stared at the endless darkness outside the door, and said in a deep voice.

"The day of Dongyue Kingdom is about to change."
