Yanran listened to Wei Mingzhou's words and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "We are now on the same boat, so I know which is more important."

"It's good that we can tell the difference. It's getting late. Let's go find Lin Jing quickly. Otherwise, when Wan Shufang comes back, we won't be able to act."

Wei Mingzhou looked at the sky and didn't dare to waste any more time, so he immediately left with Yanran.

After the two of them tried to convince Lin Jing for their own purposes and Ye Xuan came out to find Chen Changli to tell him what happened, he suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but frown.

"Chen Changli, if His Majesty's health condition is really serious, your wife should have contacted you immediately to tell you. Why hasn't she made any movement?"

Hearing Ye Xuan's doubts, Chen Changli guessed Wei Mingzhou's plan and felt a little heavy.

"Lord Ye, perhaps your Majesty's actions have hurt some people's hearts, which has forced Doctor Wei to resort to this desperate measure."

He was speaking well of Wei Mingzhou, but also reminding Ye Xuan not to show his joy over the emperor's affairs, lest he get into trouble.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "It could also be God's will."

Chen Changli shook his head and sighed: "God's will is not that simple. If you insist on doing it your own way, you will only be fooled by God's will."

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Ye Xuan pulled his beard and said with a complicated expression: "If we don't try some things, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Chen Changli understood what he meant and thought for a moment before saying, "Didn't we agree to make two preparations before? Don't you have a backup plan ready?"

Ye Xuan snorted: "Do you think I am you? If one family is well fed, the whole clan will not be hungry."

He rubbed his cheek, forcibly suppressed his irritability, and said earnestly: "I have so many people in my tribe. Although I used your help to arrange for some people to leave, there are still many people left in Luoyang City."

"They all know my plan, and they also know clearly what kind of situation they will face next. Logically, we should live and die together and buy more opportunities and time for the tribesmen who have left."

"But the strange thing happened too suddenly, and we are so numerous that we become a burden."

When it comes to this matter, Ye Xuan's face turns ugly.

He worked so hard for so long, but not only did he fail to protect the rest of his family, he almost worked himself to death.

Compared with the emperor who was protected by others, no matter how steady and capable Ye Xuan was, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Even if there was something wrong with what Wei Mingzhou said, he didn't react to it at first, but now that he has reacted, he would rather what Wei Mingzhou said was true, and then he wants to go all the way.

“I see.” Chen Changli understood Ye Xuan’s thoughts, and after a storm of thoughts, he finally decided to take the risk. “Sir Ye, most of my people have been sent outside, and a small number of people have also been taken by Yingyi to search for and suppress the monsters.”

"If you want to send someone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so that he can rush back to Luoyang City, the people I left outside can be used."

"However, my children are captured by King Rong, and those people are trying to infiltrate King Rong's people to rescue them."

"If we ask them to send a group of people to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy."

Chen Changli frowned slightly as he spoke of his difficulties. No matter how capable the people under Prince Rong were, most of them were connected with the traitor Liu Yaoyao.

Since Prince Rong wanted to rebel, he should be on guard against Liu Yaoyao.

Liu Yaoyao was unwilling to be inferior to others, and if the two of them started quarreling, there would be a fight.

But after a few days, there was no news from Prince Rong. Chen Changli suspected that Prince Rong's clamoring about Luoyang City during this period was probably a smokescreen, and his purpose was to deceive them.

"Your worries are justified, so just use my people." Ye Xuan said happily.

Since Chen Changli was willing to admit that the emperor would not live long, he naturally had to stand up.

So the fatigue from several days of continuous busyness disappeared in an instant, as if he had taken a panacea.

He worked energetically and delivered the message in less than half a day.

Because Prince Rong was stationed not far outside the city, in order to prevent Prince Rong from intercepting, Ye Xuan and Chen Changli deliberately spread some news, nine of which were true and one was false, in order to disrupt Prince Rong's position.

In the middle of the night, Prince Rong's men captured several informants who were passing on the news. When Prince Rong learned the news, he didn't even sleep and came to interrogate these informants.

When he learned that the emperor was seriously ill, he laughed without even thinking: "The emperor is old and no longer as brave as he used to be. Even if he was still young, he would not be my opponent."

"Don't you suspect that this news is fake?" Liu Yaoyao also rushed over.

As soon as she came over, she heard Prince Rong's extremely proud words. She couldn't help but feel disgusted and rolled her eyes at him.

Afterwards, she took the confession and read it again. Although Liu Yaoyao felt that the news might be true, she was well aware of the turmoil in Luoyang City in recent days.

She didn't think that the emperor, who was seriously ill, could subdue those strange people and then ask the prince for help.

After all, the Crown Prince is far away in the Western Territory, while the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince are relatively close. The Emperor is also extremely wary of the Crown Prince. Even if he wants to ask for help, he should go to the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

"No matter whether it is true or not, the emperor won't live long anyway." Prince Rong has been clamoring to the outside world these days, but he has not raised an army to invade. He just found out the situation in Luoyang City.

He felt that the emperor was old, and no matter how capable the people around him were, they would not be able to protect him from being surrounded by weirdos.

It was normal for him to be angry and think of the prince.

After all, the title of the crown prince is there, and whether to restore the position of crown prince is also up to the emperor.

If the prince rescued the emperor from Luoyang City, the emperor might directly pass the throne to him.

Prince Rong didn't think that the prince would not do this, but because Chen Changli was still in Luoyang City negotiating for him, he was sure that the news was true.

"Since the emperor won't live long, you might as well declare yourself king, and then attack other cities in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials."

"As long as you have a few cities and sufficient food supply, you can establish your own country and ascend the throne."

Liu Yaoyao thought about the news sent by her master. Although she couldn't understand her intention, she took the opportunity to incite King Rong.

"But Luoyang City hasn't been taken yet." Prince Rong was excited but looked hesitant.

He needed Liu Yaoyao's support, and it would be best if she could arrange the public opinion for him so that he could be the emperor with a clear conscience.

Although Liu Yaoyao was not a worm in Prince Rong's stomach, she knew him very well.

As soon as Prince Rong said these hesitant words, Liu Yaoyao knew what he was really thinking. She laughed sarcastically in her heart, but began to think seriously on the surface.

When her master gave an order, she obeyed it.

However, Prince Rong thinks too highly of himself and is not easy to fool. She has to think of a foolproof plan to make Prince Rong fall into the trap.

"Can you contact the Sixth or Ninth Prince?"
