"Your Highness, rest assured. You must trust Father. The new country has just been established, and it is the best time for various national policies. The luck and dragon energy are all at their peak. Our new country will definitely overcome this difficulty!"

Xin Wenyuan looked at the resolute expression on his beloved concubine's face and felt the warmth in the Crown Princess's palm. He finally felt relieved: "Yes, we must believe in father. Father will definitely win. As his child, I should have confidence in him."

"Yes, Your Highness. Father went through so much fighting to establish our new country. You and I witnessed those fights with our own eyes. Father was in desperate situations many times, but he managed to survive in the end. He had so many ups and downs along the way. His determination was stronger than any of us."

"Huh... Youruo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted my father. Since my father is still working hard, why should we be depressed here?!"

Xin Wenyuan took the Crown Princess Youruo's hand and brought it close to his face. He gently stroked it a few times before letting go and standing up from the chair: "There must be someone in charge outside at this time. I'll go outside first. Youruo, please go back to the tent in the back."

"Okay!" Youruo nodded heavily. She knew that this was not the time to act out. "If Your Highness needs me to do anything, you must tell me. I am also someone who can stand by your side and help you!"

"Youruo..." Seeing Youruo walk to the entrance of the tent, Xin Wenyuan suddenly called her and looked at her for a while. Finally, Xin Wenyuan just said, "Youruo, remember to stay with Xianglan in the future. The female cultivator next to her has a high level of cultivation and can definitely protect you."

Crown Princess Youruo nodded and left the tent. Seeing her leave, Xin Wenyuan also walked out of the tent.

Since all the people from the Eastern Palace were mobilized to take action, those who spread the news were quickly picked out from the crowd and brought to Xin Wenyuan.

Looking at these people, Xin Wenyuan felt that they looked more and more familiar, especially the old man in tattered clothes in the front. He clearly remembered that he had seen him in his fourth brother's mansion before he was under house arrest. At that time, he was already a small manager in his fourth brother's mansion.

It wasn't just the old man. After careful recollection, he had also seen several people around the old man, including the steward of the Third Prince's mansion, the Fifth Prince's confidant, the Sixth Prince's staff, and the Seventh Prince's servants. Except for the Second Prince, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, the other princes had all sent people over.

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Xin Wenyuan was so angry that he almost laughed out loud: "Great! Great! It seems that my brothers really want me to die! You guys are spreading rumors that our father has been defeated at this critical moment, right? What is your intention?"

The people kneeling below looked pale and did not dare to answer any of Xin Wenyuan's questions.

"You won't tell me? If you don't tell me, I won't know, right? Father is fighting with that Wu Yunzi outside, and you are fighting among yourselves here, right? Third, fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers, do they really want me, their eldest brother, to die here? Are they so eager for the throne? Do they really think that I don't know what's going on outside because I've been confined to the East Palace for all these years? Do you really think that I can't lift a knife?!"

Xin Wenyuan's face was very bad. He knew that many people were watching him, and he also knew that his four brothers had become a small group. However, he never thought that his four brothers would do such a thing at this time. What's the benefit of doing this at this time? Are they really sure that they can take charge again after Wu Yunzi wins... Thinking of this, Xin Wenyuan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly found that he seemed to have never thought of a possibility, that is, Wu Yunzi might be in the same group with his four brothers.

As soon as this idea came out, it was like a wildfire, constantly fermenting in his mind. He kept reviewing the changes of his four brothers over the years, and finally he came to a conclusion. Since the murder of Princess Xianglan, his four brothers have already started to lay out, until the suppression between heaven and earth was broken some time ago, they contacted Wu Yunzi, their plan and Wu Yunzi's idea hit it off, Wu Yunzi wanted to get the luck and dragon energy of the new country, and they wanted to be the emperor, as long as Wu Yunzi won, even if Wu Yunzi was the emperor for a few years, what would it matter? He would soon ascend, and his four brothers would become heroes of the restoration of the country. By then, wouldn't the third brother, who was the leader, be able to ascend to the throne and become the emperor of the new country!

"Okay! Very good! Very good!" After figuring all this out, Xin Wenyuan looked at the people in front of him gloomily, causing cold sweat to keep coming out of their heads. Finally, he turned around and said, "Someone, come here! Take these people who spread rumors to the center of the square and chop them up!"

Hearing what Xin Wenyuan said, the old man in the Third Prince's mansion panicked. He shouted, "Your Highness! I am the Third Prince's man! You can't kill me! Only the Third Prince has the right to kill me!"

Not only the old man, the other three also shouted hurriedly. Although they were all working for the prince, they did not want to lose their lives.

"Only my brothers have the right to kill you?" Xin Wenyuan did not turn around. Only a cold voice came out from his back, "You think too highly of your position in their hearts. From the moment you were sent here, you have been abandoned in their hands."

After saying this, Xin Wenyuan raised his right hand and waved it. The men were immediately dragged away by the East Palace guards. Soon, four heads were brought to Xin Wenyuan. Looking at the four heads, Xin Wenyuan finally made up his mind: "Come here, call Commander Zhao over!"

Commander Zhao, who was patrolling outside, quickly came into the tent: "Your Majesty!"

"Commander Zhao, set up an ambush outside. If I'm not mistaken, someone will come to kill us soon."

"Yes!"

Commander Zhao didn't say much. When he chopped off four heads in the square just now, he already knew that things were not going in the right direction. After coming out of the tent, he immediately began to organize people. Although the guards of the East Palace were not as good as the real elite troops of the New Kingdom, they were already elite. They quickly made preparations and ambushed everywhere.

About an hour later, the snowflakes in the sky became bigger than before, and the snow on the ground outside the barrier was already very thick. People in the square began to hear dense footsteps. A large number of soldiers appeared around the barrier. They surrounded the entire square and stared at them inside the barrier with a greedy look.
