However, it wasn't just Li Xingfeng who received the imperial edict; his brothers, other princes, Li Xinghu, Li Xingfan, and others also received the same edict.

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Xinghu simply nodded slightly, his expression remaining unchanged. He calmly said to the young eunuch, "Yes, I understand." He then said no more. Seeing this, the young eunuch quickly bowed and took his leave.

Li Xingfan's reaction was simply unbelievable!

When the young eunuch presented the secret decree to him, he actually revealed an elusive smile and asked the young eunuch, "Secret decree?" as if he was full of disdain and doubt about this so-called secret decree.

Seeing this, the young eunuch nodded and said, "Yes!"

However, Li Xingfan's next move left everyone dumbfounded. He snorted coldly and took the secret decree without hesitation. Then, a blazing flame suddenly ignited in his palm. In the blink of an eye, the secret decree was reduced to ashes, which were blown away by the wind.

The young eunuch was horrified upon seeing this and hurriedly shouted, "Prince! What are you doing?" He totally couldn't understand why Li Xingfan destroyed the secret decree so easily. This was the order of His Majesty!

Facing the eunuch's question, Li Xingfan just sneered, then suddenly stretched out his huge palm and stabbed it into the eunuch's chest like lightning. In an instant, the eunuch's body trembled violently, and his face showed an expression of extreme pain and disbelief.

"Prince...Prince..." The little eunuch's voice trembled. He widened his eyes and stared at Li Xingfan, as if trying to find a trace of pity or explanation on his face.

However, Li Xingfan's face was filled with indifference and determination. He clenched his palms, and with a "crack", the eunuch's heart shattered in his hand, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

"Hmph!" Li Xingfan snorted again, seemingly unfazed by the bloody scene. He casually wiped the blood off his hands, then turned and left without looking back, leaving behind a lifeless corpse and a pool of blood on the ground.

On the other side, Li Xingyun's carriage also arrived at Xuanwu Gate at this moment and passed without any surprise!

"Do you want to die or live?" Li Xingyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head with a smile, and his eyes fell on Qing Meng, as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

Qing Meng was struck by lightning when she heard this. Her body trembled violently, her eyes widened, and her face was filled with astonishment. She had never expected Li Xingyun to ask such a question out of the blue, and for a moment she was at a loss.

However, in just a moment, Qing Meng came to her senses. She knew that her mission had failed, and her survival now depended entirely on Li Xingyun's decision.

"Prince...can you...let me live?" Qing Meng's voice trembled slightly, and she asked cautiously with a hint of uncertainty and hope.

Li Xingyun's smile didn't fade as he replied nonchalantly, "Whether you live or die, it makes no difference to me."

Qing Meng felt a little relieved upon hearing this. She quickly knelt down in front of Li Xingyun, pressing her head against the cold ground. She said with deep fear and trepidation, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me! I beg Your Highness to show mercy and let me stay in the palace!"

Li Xingyun saw this and the smile on his face became more and more obvious. He said jokingly, "What's the point of keeping you in the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Meng answered without hesitation: "I will do whatever the prince says!" Her tone was firm, and she seemed to have made up her mind to serve Li Xingyun wholeheartedly.

A scene from the seventh season of The Bad Guys suddenly flashed through Li Xingyun's mind, and the smile on his face turned playful. He stared at Qing Meng and asked with a half-smile, "Oh? Really? You'll do anything I ask you to do?"

Qing Meng's heart was moved when she heard this. She looked at Li Xingyun's half-smile and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded in response: "Yes! Whatever the prince asks me to do! I will do it!"

Seeing this, Li Xingyun's smile grew even brighter. He nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look out the car window.

The carriage slowly drove away from Xuanwu Gate, its wheels rolling and making crisp sounds. After about a quarter of an hour, when the carriage completely disappeared from the sight of Shenwu City, something strange happened!

Suddenly, a group of soldiers wearing yellow armor and holding spears appeared on the road ahead. They stood in the middle of the road like a solid wall, blocking the way of the carriage.

"Yike!" Seeing this, the coachman, Ye Xian, quickly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. He turned to Li Xingyun inside and reported, "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince and his men are blocking the road!"

When Li Xingyun heard the news, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a bitter smile. He shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly: Brothers killing each other is inevitable after all!

At this moment, the Eighth Prince, Li Xingfeng, rode up to the carriage. He looked down at Li Xingyun, his tone filled with sarcasm, "Haha, Thirteenth Brother, you're really clever! You even have Master Kong from Haoran Academy as your man!"

"Myna, get out of the way! I'll pretend you've never been here!" Li Xingyun quickly adjusted his mood, frowning and speaking in a deep voice.

"Hmph! Don't even think about it!"

"If you want to pass by here, you must die!" Li Xingfeng clenched the spear in his hand, his eyes were fierce, and he spoke with gritted teeth!

The betrayal of Haoran Academy made him completely isolated and helpless, with no hope of getting his hands on the throne. How could he not be angry and hateful!

"Oh!" Li Xingyun let out a long sigh. This sigh seemed to contain endless helplessness and sadness, echoing in the air for a long time.

Suddenly, a violent clatter of horse hooves resounded through the air, shaking everyone's heart like thunder. Behind Li Xingyun's carriage, a group of armored soldiers rushed towards him like a surging wave, their footsteps shaking the ground slightly.

Leading the group was none other than the Third Prince, Li Xingfan, who rode a majestic and imposing horse. His presence instantly heightened the already tense atmosphere.

"Hmph! Old Eight, if you want to block Old Thirteen's way, then it depends on whether you can get past me!" Li Xingfan's voice was like a huge bell, echoing in this empty land, with undisguised hostility and provocation.

The moment Li Xingfeng saw Li Xingfan, his face turned pale. He never thought that he would meet Li Xingfan here.

"Third brother! You...you must not forget what happened at the north gate of Shenwu City that night! It was because of Old Thirteen that you lost your chance! Don't you hate him?" Li Xingfeng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief and anger. His voice became a little hoarse with excitement, as if it was about to burst through his throat.
