Luo Qianmo held Fang Qingyou's hand in his palm: "Youyou, no matter how the world changes, my heart for you will never change. Luo Qianmo will marry no one but Fang Qingyou."

His hands were slightly cold, but Fang Qingyou felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

Slowly, warmly, as if his gaze had entered my heart.

Fang Qingyou raised her eyes and stared intently at Luo Qianmo.

"Fang Qingyou will not marry anyone but Luo Qianmo."

Seeing Fang Qingyou like this, all the icebergs in his heart melted into gentle spring water.

"Youyou." Luo Qianmo couldn't help but pull Fang Qingyou into his arms, holding her tightly, as if afraid that he would lose her if he didn't hold her tight.

Again, he held her gently, as if she were a fragile, rare treasure.

That day, upon returning to the Eighth Prince's residence, Luo Qianmo threw a plaque with the word "official" written on it into the stove.

He had originally planned to wait a few more days before taking action against the Ministry of Personnel, but now he was unwilling to wait any longer.

Those who shouldn't stay in this world are in increasing danger every day they remain.

Originally, he was fearless of death in his pursuit of revenge, but now he is reluctant to die.

How could he bear to leave his Youyou, especially when it meant a separation of life and death?

That night, many figures left the Eighth Prince's residence and headed in various directions of the capital. Those figures disappeared into the darkness and quickly blended into the night.

The next day, another major event occurred in the imperial court.

After Lord Ma and Lord Song were impeached by the censors, another official was impeached.

This time, the official in charge was a high-ranking official in the court, Minister of Personnel, Lord He.

If the affairs of Lord Ma and Lord Song have caused unrest in the court, then everyone is truly in danger right now.

Lord He has been an official for many years, serving in the court ever since Emperor Mingde ascended the throne. Even such a person has been impeached. Is this the prelude to a major purge?

After the censor finished his impeachment, Luo Qianhao felt as if everything suddenly went black.

Lord He is his right-hand man. If he wasn't sure who was going to make a move against him before, he is now absolutely certain.

First there was Lord Ma, then Lord Song, and now Lord He.

Is this person trying to uproot him completely?

Lord Ma and Lord Song are fine; losing them would be a great loss. But losing Lord He would be a fundamental blow.

Few people in the court knew about Lord Ma and Lord Song, but many knew that he and Lord He had always been close.

These past few days, he's been extremely busy dealing with Lord Ma and Lord Song's affairs, and now that Lord He has run into trouble, he feels like he's about to collapse.

Just as Luo Qianhao was about to stand up and speak out for Lord He, several other officials stepped forward to speak.

Luo Qianhao recognized two of them as his men.

The matter concerning Lord He caused a fierce argument to break out in the Golden Palace.

The officials all tried their best to protect Lord He, but the censor presented multiple pieces of evidence in court, seemingly convincing him of the facts.

The more the censor spoke, the paler Luo Qianhao's face became. When the court session ended, his face was ashen.

The people who were secretly targeting him were clearly well-prepared this time, catching him off guard before he could even react.

His power is now in jeopardy, yet he can't even find a worthy opponent.

None of his brothers had the power to challenge him, so it shouldn't have been them who did it.

But if it wasn't them, then who could it be?

He had a vague feeling that the person who was targeting him was Luo Qianmo, but he just couldn't believe it was him.

Over the years, despite his father's favor and the extravagant lifestyle he enjoyed, Luo Qianmo was still a prince without real power.

Does Luo Qianmo truly have the power to shake his position? Luo Qianhao believes the answer is yes.

Even the Empress Dowager couldn't find out who did it, so that person probably wasn't Luo Qianmo, right?

When Luo Qianhao left the Golden Palace, he stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, a eunuch nearby reacted quickly and caught him.

Luo Qianhao didn't have time to talk to the eunuch and hurriedly went to Derong Hall.

The morning court session was filled with arguments and quarrels, but no resolution was reached.

In the imperial study, Emperor Mingde pressed his temples, looking somewhat troubled.

Three officials were impeached in succession, and the censors' impeachments were all based on solid evidence.

There are many things about this evidence that he was unaware of.

Even he couldn't find out, yet someone else was able to.

Who exactly is this person? Does he possess even greater strength than him?

Could this person be one of his sons?

The thought of this possibility terrified Emperor Mingde. If it were true, then his son was not only powerful but also exceptionally capable.

With this son's abilities, obtaining the throne would be a piece of cake.

What worries him most is that he has no idea who this son is.

Could this person be Mo'er? If it's not him, with such an opponent, even if Mo'er has an edict of succession, it will be in vain.

It now appears that this person's first target is Luo Qianhao.

Should he do something?

He's done a lot these past few days, trying to find a clue about that person.

But I don't know if that person was particularly patient, because he did so many things but there was absolutely no reaction, leaving me completely clueless.

When Fang Xing'an returned from court, he was completely exhausted.

As soon as he got back to the mansion, he collapsed onto the ground without any regard for his image.

The matter of Lord Song has not yet been resolved, and now another Lord He has arrived.

He didn't have a deep relationship with this Lord He, but he was worried because Lord He was very close to the Zhou family.

The He family and the Zhou family are related by marriage.

The evidence presented by that censor is irrefutable. I'm afraid Lord He is truly in trouble this time. And if Lord He is in trouble, what about the Zhou family?

If the Zhou family falls apart, what about the Fang family?

He had no choice but to worry, since his wife was the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family.

Thinking of all this, Fang Xing'an couldn't sit still on the ground anymore. He hurriedly ordered his servants to pull him up and rushed to Zhou's courtyard.

He was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he could only walk by being pulled and dragged along by the servants.

Even before Fang Xing'an returned, Fang Qingyou had already received news from the court.

It turns out that someone really was trying to deal with Luo Qianhao, the eldest prince.

She didn't know who that person was, but she was genuinely happy.

The eldest prince had no grudge against her, but when she thought of the way Empress Qin looked at Luo Qianmo, she knew that the mother and son were definitely not as good to Luo Qianmo as they appeared.
