The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Chen Ming looked at Liang Hui in front of him with a serious expression, but after hearing this, she simply snorted coldly.

"He's just a minor general. What right does he have to bargain with His Highness the Crown Prince? Tonight, I'm going to meet this general myself!"

Without waiting for Chen Ming to speak again, he turned and left.

Chen Ming's face was extremely ugly. He didn't know whether what he had done was right or wrong. If the Crown Prince really made a move, the Divine Martial General would probably not be a match for him.

However, at this moment, he couldn't afford to think about anything else; he could only take it one step at a time.

Since returning to his residence, Yang Ling has been studying the current situation in Liangzhou in his study.

After the previous rounds of trouble, those who had ulterior motives have basically been dealt with.

Now, as long as he uses the Ninth Prince's name, he can take over all the power in no time.

"Your Highness, why aren't you asleep so late?"

Just as he was feeling somewhat smug, Yun'er's voice came from outside the door.

Since transmigrating, his feelings for Yun'er have grown stronger. After all, a woman as beautiful as her would be an insurmountable obstacle for any man in any era.

Seeing Yun'er push open the door and enter, Yang Ling closed the map in her hand.

"Why are you here so late at night?"

Yang Ling looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, while Yun'er lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

"Your Highness has been busy lately, so Yun'er can only come to see you in the evenings when you are resting!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling laughed heartily and quickly pulled Yun'er to sit on his lap.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make more time to spend with you in the future."

Yun'er nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked up at Yang Ling with some confusion.

Yang Ling looked at Yun'er, who had a blank expression, and was momentarily confused.

"You seem to have something on your mind. Just say what's on your mind."

Yun'er hesitated for a moment, looking at Yang Ling with some trepidation.

"Your Highness, I heard from An Yu that several neighboring countries will be sending envoys to pay you a visit soon. These people are definitely up to no good. Your Highness should not receive them!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling burst into laughter, never expecting that this beauty would care about him.

"Don't worry, I know what they're thinking. This time they sent envoys, and I'm going to give them a taste of their own medicine and make them behave themselves!"

Yang Ling said this with a confident expression. They sent people over simply to win him over or to take the opportunity to suppress him.

But he is no longer the Ninth Prince who only stayed in the palace; he now possesses absolute power.

With truth in hand, everything else is insignificant.

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Yun'er's face turned serious.

After all, the surrounding countries are all formidable forces, and if they were to send troops to Liangzhou, they would certainly face a difficult challenge.

"Rest assured, all of this is under my control."

Yang Ling smiled as he looked at Yun'er in front of him, and then gently kissed her cheek.

Yun'er looked at him shyly, then rested her head on Yang Ling's shoulder.

"I'm relieved to hear Your Highness's words. As long as I can stay by Your Highness's side, that's enough!"

……

Just as the two were getting intimate, a guard rushed over.

"Your Highness, Princess Shangyang requests your presence!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's face filled with disgust. What exactly did this Princess Shangyang want? Ever since she heard that he was still alive, she had been constantly sending people to invite him.

He had refused many times before, but he never expected that this woman would invite him over in the middle of the night.

Don't you know that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold?

"Your Highness, why don't you go and take a look? After all, Princess Shangyang still has some influence. If you can get along well with her, it might be helpful to you later."

Yun'er looked at Yang Ling, who was looking impatient, and whispered a reminder.

Upon hearing Yun'er's words, Yang Ling frowned slightly.

"I'll listen to you. I want to see what this woman is up to in the middle of the night."

Yun'er looked at Yang Ling, who had a dissatisfied expression, and lowered her head slightly, looking guilty.

Yang Ling gently kissed the other person's cheek.

"Alright, I didn't blame you."

……

"The Ninth Prince has arrived! I, the Princess, have failed to greet you properly!"

Just as Yang Ling entered the place where Princess Shangyang was staying, a sweet voice came from inside.

Looking up, I saw that it was indeed the woman with the vicious face.

But for some reason, this woman was wearing a thin veil today, and her arrogant figure was vaguely visible beneath it.

"Princess, did you summon me here tonight just to show off your arrogant figure?"

Yang Ling gave a cold laugh, and Princess Shangyang looked somewhat displeased.

"What are you saying, Ninth Prince? You and I are childhood sweethearts. We invited you here today because we want to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing Princess Shangyang's words, Yang Ling's face immediately darkened.

"Help? Sure, as long as you show enough sincerity, I can help you with anything!"

Princess Shangyang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Please come inside. It's really not appropriate to discuss things here!"

Yang Ling sneered, wanting to see what this woman was up to, and then followed her inside.

Upon entering the room, a fragrant aroma filled the entire space.

Princess Shangyang sat down gently in the chair and said softly:

"I have heard that the Ninth Prince now holds military power in Liangzhou. I wonder what his plans are next."

Princess Shangyang looked shrewd and calculating, which disgusted Yang Ling.

He's just a descendant of a king of a different surname, but judging from the tone of his words, it seems he even wants to covet the throne of Liang.

"What do you mean by that, Princess? I was ordered by the court to guard Liangzhou, so naturally I must be diligent and conscientious. How could I dare to have any other thoughts!"

Yang Ling looked at Princess Shangyang in front of her with a serious expression, but the other party clearly did not believe her words.

As expected, Princess Shangyang gave a cold laugh.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the Ninth Prince to say that. Has the Ninth Prince forgotten who almost took your life before?"

Hearing Princess Shangyang's words, Yang Ling was not angry, but looked at her with a smile.

"Does the princess mean to stir up trouble between me, the crown prince, and my father?"

Yang Ling looked at the other person with a smile, and the other person's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Ninth Prince, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to stir up trouble between you when I said those words!"

Seeing Yang Ling's calm and collected demeanor, Princess Shangyang knew that he wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, her words had struck a chord with him.
