Emperor Kang Ren saw Murong Xuanyi's eyes twitching in the middle of the day. He didn't know why. Now when he saw this old man, he always felt that he was up to no good.

He asked helplessly: "Old Five, what's the matter with you coming here this time?"

Murong Xuanyi knelt respectfully on the ground and said solemnly, "Father, I have the guts to tell you what is going to happen next. Please do not get angry after hearing it.

"Just tell me." Although Emperor Kang Ren had a bad feeling in his heart, he still remained calm.

Murong Xuanyi took a deep breath and reported to Emperor Kang Ren in detail about the possible collusion between Li Yong’s army in the southwest and the secret mobilization of troops and training of death squads.

"Is there any evidence for this?" Emperor Kang Ren asked in a serious tone.

He then attached the evidence and letters he had found, but he did not mention a word about Murong Xuanye.

After hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren's face turned pale instantly and he clenched his fists, obviously very angry.

"I was so blind to see Li Yongjun as I allowed him to become a threat to me!" Emperor Kang Ren said angrily.

He coughed twice in anger. Fuquan handed the tea to Emperor Kang Ren respectfully and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Please take care of yourself."

Emperor Kang Ren thought of Hua Qiansong's words, and quickly suppressed his anger. He took the tea and took a sip.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the imperial study, and every step he took expressed his indignation and pain at this betrayal.

"Fifth brother, you did a great job this time. I am very pleased that you were able to discover the conspiracy of these treacherous villains in time." Emperor Kang Ren stopped and looked directly at Murong Xuanyi.

Murong Xuanyi's heart trembled, and he immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude: "I dare not boast of my merits, but I only hope to help my father to relieve his worries and solve his problems."

Emperor Kang Ren pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Murong Xuanyi said: "I think this matter is of great importance and we must take action immediately. I suggest that we first order Li Yongjun to return to the capital to report on his work, and then ambush him on the way. At the same time, send spies to the southwest to find out the specific situation of the dead soldiers and the extent of Li Yongjun's collusion with the Western Qiang State."

Emperor Kang Ren nodded and said, "Okay, I will immediately draft an order to summon Li Yongjun back to the capital. You will be fully responsible for the rest of the matter. You must ensure that everything goes well. I want to see what these traitors are trying to do!"

After receiving the order, Murong Xuanyi turned around and was about to leave the imperial study when he was stopped by Emperor Kang Ren.

"Fifth brother, is there any movement from the second brother?" There was a subtle hint of temptation in Emperor Kang Ren's words.

Murong Xuanyi's mouth curled up slightly, but his face remained calm. He replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am stupid and did not notice any abnormal behavior from my second brother."

He was not stupid, so how could he not hear the deep meaning and temptation in Emperor Kang Ren's words?

Emperor Kang Ren waved his hand, and Murong Xuanyi slowly left the imperial study.

When Murong Xuanyi's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Emperor Kang Ren pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Fu Quan and asked slowly, "In your opinion, does Prince Jing have another plan in mind?"

Fuquan was embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he answered carefully: "Your Highness Prince Jing has always been sincere to the emperor, and I believe he will not have any selfish motives."

"Yeah," Emperor Kang Ren nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

Emperor Kang Ren's eyes became deep, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Send the message to Lu Ming!"

Lu Ming came to the imperial study room as ordered. After he kowtowed, Emperor Kang Ren went straight to the point: "I order you to secretly monitor the movements of Prince Rui."

Lu Ming took the order and left.

After Murong Xuanyi left the palace, he returned to Prince Jing's Mansion and immediately gathered his confidants in the study. Jiang Chong took the imperial sword and several secret guards and left the capital overnight.

Murong Xuanyi sat quietly in the study for a long time before he got up and returned to his room. As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Yuan Ying had just finished washing and had changed into pajamas. The bright red pajamas came into view again, and he couldn't help but cough lightly, his expression slightly unnatural.

"Are everything arranged?" Yuan Ying walked towards Murong Xuanyi and took the outer robe he took off.

"Yeah." Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying. Her face looked particularly gentle under the candlelight. He involuntarily reached out and touched her cheek.

Yuan Ying slapped Murong Xuanyi's hand back with a fierce slap, and said with a hint of pouting: "Did I let you touch me?"

Murong Xuanyi sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, it seems that this matter can't be easily exposed. What should he do? Will he have to guard this beautiful woman at night again, but can only sigh and sigh, and can't get close to her at all?

Murong Xuanyi grabbed Yuan Ying's hand, gently pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Madam, do you know how painful it is for me? You are by my side, but I can only look at you and not touch you. This is worse than torture."

Yuan Ying was amused by his words, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but then he frowned again: "You deserve it, go wash up."

Murong Xuanyi sighed softly and reluctantly went to the bathroom. After he came out, Yuan Ying was already asleep.

Murong Xuanyi lay on the bed, looking at Yuan Ying beside him, and a surge of tenderness surged in his heart. He gently stroked Yuan Ying's hair, feeling her warmth.

He asked softly, "Yan'er, are you asleep?"

Yuan Ying just said "hmm" lightly, then ignored him and continued to sleep.

As if he had gone through a fierce struggle in his heart, he finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Yan'er, do you really want to know that secret?"

Yuan Ying slowly raised his head and looked at him, but said nothing.

Murong Xuanyi continued: "I told you, I'm afraid you will leave me because of this."

After hearing this, Yuan Ying frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Do you have other women outside? Or do you have an illegitimate child outside?" It seemed that apart from these two reasons, nothing else could make her leave him.

Murong Xuanyi was stunned when he heard this, and quickly denied it: "Neither, Madam, what are you thinking about."

Seeing that he didn't look fake, Yuan Ying's anger gradually dissipated, but he still said with some doubt: "Then hurry up and tell me, don't dilly-dally."

Murong Xuanyi took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly said, "Actually, I..."

The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back. Seeing him like this, Yuan Ying became even more curious and urged him, "Why don't you just speak quickly, stop nagging."

Murong Xuanyi gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great sacrifice, and finally said: "In fact, I was seriously injured in the military camp before, and it hurt my foundation. In the future... I am afraid that I will have difficulty in having children. I am afraid that you will dislike me and leave me because of this, so I have never dared to tell you."

After thinking it over, he felt that this reason was the most appropriate. She would know it in a year anyway, and telling her now would only let her know it earlier. Otherwise, with her intelligence, she would guess the truth sooner or later.

Yuan Ying was shocked after hearing this. She had never thought that Murong Xuanyi actually hid such a secret. She looked at Murong Xuanyi affectionately, her eyes full of heartache and reluctance, reached out and gently stroked his face, and said softly: "Silly boy, how could I dislike you?"

Murong Xuanyi was touched. "You really don't care that I can't have children?"

Yuan Ying shook his head, his eyes firm: "Why bother about those? We are together because we love each other and want to spend our lives together. What does it matter if we have children or not? What's important is that we can walk through this life hand in hand, isn't it?"

Murong Xuanyi hugged Yuan Ying tightly in his arms. "Thank you, Madam."

Then he asked, "Ma'am, can I touch you then?"
