The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day

"It's him." Jun Yuansheng continued, "Ruyi Tower is nominally his territory."

"This is also where he contacts court officials." Jun Yuansheng said in a light tone with a cold expression.

"However, Jun Yuanxian used to act secretly and didn't dare to do it so openly. But now the situation is different. He can even win over the court officials openly."

Su Yueqing looked at Jun Yuansheng, somewhat surprised. She didn't expect that they had just arrived in Dongli and Yuansheng had already figured out the general situation in Dongli.

"Why? The crown prince of this dynasty openly wins over court officials. Now that Emperor Dongli is still in power, this is a taboo." Su Yueqing asked the question that was in her mind.

Xiao Mochen spoke slowly, "Could it be that Emperor Dongli is dying?"

He had just arrived in Dongli, and the spies stationed in Dongli had not yet reported the situation in Dongli to him, so he was not clear about the situation in Dongli.

Moreover, before the war, there was no news from Dongli that the Emperor of Dongli was ill.

Jun Yuansheng turned his head to look at his uncle Jun Huaijin beside him, then looked at Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen, nodded, and said faintly, "Yes."

"I just heard the news that my good father was assassinated and seriously injured. He is now bedridden. I'm afraid he won't have much time left."

"If the emperor dies, Crown Prince Jun Yuanxian will naturally be the most qualified candidate to ascend the throne, but there is another person in the court who is eyeing the throne covetously."

"Are you talking about the third prince of Dongli?" Su Yueqing asked.

At the beginning, Jun Yuanxian went to Beiming as an envoy of Dongli, and then hurried back to Dongli. In addition to being beaten, there was another important reason, which was that the third prince of Dongli wanted to replace him while he was away.

Jun Yuansheng nodded, "Jun Yuanqi and Jun Yuanxian are sworn enemies in the fight for the throne. The two have been fighting for many years, and the fight continues until one of them dies."

"Now my good father is running out of time, and with Dongli defeated, internal and external troubles, the fight between the two for the throne has entered a fierce stage."

Jun Huaijin sighed. Dongli, whom he had protected with so much difficulty, has now become like this.

The king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, the father is not a father, and the son is not a son. There are calculations everywhere.

"Yuan Sheng, do you know who assassinated Emperor Dongli?" Su Yueqing asked, but the name of her senior sister, whom she had never met, flashed through her mind.

Jun Yuansheng shook his head, "I don't know, the assassin has not been caught yet."

Su Yueqing inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Jiang Biechen. The two of them looked at each other tacitly.

This was most likely done by their senior sister.

"After several days of traveling, everyone should have a good rest first. We can talk about the future tomorrow." Su Yueqing yawned.

Now that we have figured out Dongli's situation, the next things will be much easier.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Su Yueqing sat by the window, holding her chin with both hands, staring blankly at the crescent moon in the sky.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Mochen came over and naturally covered Su Yueqing's shoulders with the cloak in his hand. "It's autumn now, be careful not to catch a cold."

Su Yueqing leaned into Xiao Mochen's arms and said, "Husband, what do you think about the situation in Dongli?"

"Dongli is facing internal and external troubles right now. Jun Yuanxian and Jun Yuanqi are bound to fight. No matter who wins, both sides will suffer heavy losses." Xiao Mochen analyzed seriously.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. We can just sit back and watch the fight, and then take action at the end."

Su Yueqing looked at the moon in the sky without saying a word, her eyes gradually dimming. She agreed with her husband's objective analysis.

Xiao Mochen gently pinched Su Yueqing's tender little face, and then said: "But, this will make the people of Dongli suffer."

"The external war has just subsided, and a new round of war is about to come." Xiao Mochen has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and is used to seeing bloodshed and injuries. He is accustomed to these.

Since ancient times, a kind person is not suitable for commanding an army. He was never merciful when it came to things on the battlefield.

However, after leaving the battlefield, the compassion buried deep in his heart gradually surfaced.

Since ancient times, whenever the throne changes and war breaks out, the innocent people will suffer.

"So, we have to take action first." Su Yueqing sat up straight, and her originally dim eyes suddenly brightened.

"We don't want to be fishermen, hiding behind the scenes to benefit, we should be hunters, shooting the prey dead."

As he spoke, Su Yueqing stretched out his right hand and made a shooting gesture.

"Sometimes, the most brutal way is actually the best way." Su Yueqing's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Xiao Mochen lowered his head and glanced at Su Yueqing. Their eyes met and they both nodded in tacit understanding.

"Husband, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the detailed strategy with Yuan Sheng and others." Su Yueqing closed the window and pulled Xiao Mochen towards the bed.

"Okay~." Xiao Mochen said softly.

On the other side, Jun Yuansheng had not yet rested, and the candle in the room was still burning weakly.

Facing the candlelight, Jun Yuansheng looked at the dagger in his hand.

She has killed many people with this dagger.

Now, a lot of blood is going to be stained again.

Like Jun Yuansheng, Jun Huaijin also found it difficult to fall asleep for a long time.

Returning to his hometown, he thought he would feel some joy and nostalgia.

But when he really came back here and saw Dongli, who used to live a peaceful and happy life, become like this, and the pain from the past came flooding back to his mind, he felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

......

The next morning, Su Yueqing and others got up early and sat around the dining table to eat.

"Yuan Sheng, do you have a way to enter the palace?" Su Yueqing asked after putting down her bowl and chopsticks.

Jun Yuansheng raised his head and met Su Yueqing's eyes, his pupils trembled slightly.

With just one glance, Jun Yuansheng understood Su Yueqing's thoughts.

As expected of good friends, their ideas coincide with each other.

"Yes." Jun Yuansheng said slowly, "But if you want to get out of this unscathed, it might be difficult."

Su Yueqing raised her lips, with admiration in her eyes, "It doesn't matter, as long as the assassination is successful, my husband will cover the rest."

Su Yueqing looked at Xiao Mochen, and they both smiled knowingly.

Jiang Biechen looked at Su Yueqing, then turned to look at Xiao Mochen, blinking his big eyes, "Ah? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?"

"What assassination?" Jiang Biechen looked at Mu Chi beside him and poked him, "Brother, do you know anything?"

Mu Chi turned his head to look at Jun Yuansheng beside him and gently held her hand.

Although Yuan Sheng didn't tell him, he roughly guessed it.

"I guessed it." Mu Chi said faintly, "It seems that you are not smart enough to guess it."

Jiang Biechen rolled his eyes, he seemed to have suffered ten thousand points of damage.

"Qingqing~" Jiang Biechen looked at Su Yueqing pitifully, "What on earth are you guys talking about~"

"Enter the palace and start a massacre. Kill all those royal family members from Dongli." Su Yueqing said the cruelest words in the calmest tone.
