Su Dequan lowered his head and listened to the emperor's complaints silently. When the emperor stopped talking, he said, "Your Majesty, the eighth prince is so obedient, maybe he has his own ideas."

"Chen Changli is not a fool. Once he realizes the Eighth Prince's intentions, he will naturally think of Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to handle everything. In this way, no matter how much the Eighth Prince has in mind, he will have to stay calm and not dare to expose it in front of Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately sneered: "Old Eight may not have had the courage before, but he is the only adult prince around me. His courage will only grow. How can he be as timid as before?"

When the emperor said this in a cold tone, he thought of the dead fake emperor.

The coldness on his face became more and more intense, and his eyes were full of hostility, "Su Dequan, is it possible that Duke Huiguo and Lin Sheng will confront Old Eight?"

The hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, carrying with it a chilling chill that made one's heart shudder.

After hearing this, Su Dequan showed a look of surprise on his face. Fortunately, he kept his head down so that the emperor did not see the change in his expression.

Otherwise, once the emperor got angry, no matter how eloquent he was, he would not be able to explain himself.

Trying hard to suppress the fear in his heart, Su Dequan said calmly: "The Duke is old and has few people under his command. If he were to confront the Eighth Prince, he would only be frightened to death by the Eighth Prince."

"However, Lin Sheng is relatively young, and when everyone was preparing for the fakes, he still had the guts to check the fakes. This shows that he is not only bold, but also has people at his disposal."

"If he were to face the Eighth Prince..." Having said this, Su Dequan raised his eyes to observe the emperor's expression before continuing, "As long as Your Majesty stands behind him, he will definitely do as Your Majesty wishes and make the Eighth Prince suffer the consequences."

The emperor sneered: "Lin Sheng is not loyal to me."

After hearing this, Su Dequan dared not say anything more.

The emperor didn't want him to comfort him, so he tapped his fingers on the table and sighed, "Although there are people around me who can be used, it's not a good idea to expose them at this time."

"Your Majesty, are you planning to use Lord Lin?" Upon hearing this, Su Dequan couldn't help but call Lin Sheng "Lord Lin".

"Lin Sheng has already shown rebellious intentions. I cannot tolerate him." The emperor's tone was very cold.

As long as Lin Shengruo was loyal, the emperor would continue to use him even if his behavior was inappropriate.

But Lin Sheng had ulterior motives, and the emperor was unwilling to keep him around to annoy him.

"I know what to do." After hearing what the emperor said, Su Dequan knew what he should do to make the emperor happy, and immediately said that he would go and deal with Lin Sheng.

The emperor said nothing more, but continued to think about other things. After figuring everything out, he made more decisions and immediately dealt with other wavering people in a swift and decisive manner.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the cold palace became very wrong.

"Your Majesty is so cruel!" Ye Xuan sighed to Chen Changli.

Chen Changli lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that you did this. At least we don't have to be stained with the blood of innocent people."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but twitch his lips: "None of them is innocent."

"Lord Ye, do you have something to tell me?" Chen Changli suddenly asked when he heard that his tone was wrong.

Ye Xuan was stunned by the question, then shook his head: "I'm just worried that after those people die, His Majesty will set his sights on us."

"Your Majesty will have a lot of things to do in the future and will have no time to doubt us." Chen Changli said this and handed a booklet to Ye Xuan.

After flipping through the booklet, Ye Xuan's expression changed slightly: "Didn't they say that the food in Luoyang City could sustain us for a month? How come we can't even sustain it for ten days now?"

Chen Changli's face was tense. "Only the surface of the food was good. When the food on the surface was taken down and eaten, everyone realized that the food underneath was rotten. I received the news this morning."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's expression became uncertain. "Prince Rong is really cruel. Fortunately, you woke His Majesty up early. Otherwise, if the food crisis breaks out, no matter how capable we are, we will be driven crazy by hunger."

Closing the booklet, Ye Xuan frowned, as if thinking about something in front of him. But after a while, he looked at Chen Changli, his lips slightly raised, and a meaningful smile on his face.

"Are you planning to give up Luoyang City?"

He deliberately lowered his voice so that only Chen Changli could hear it.

"It's my guess that Your Majesty has such a plan, not me who has such an idea." Chen Changli said without hesitation.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Majesty woke up at the right time, but unfortunately according to His Majesty's temper, he would just leave us here and run away with his men."

When it comes to the word escape, Ye Xuan's expression changes subtly, and seems a little gloomy.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Chen Changli didn't care and just smiled and said, "You should be happy if your majesty does this."

Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and soon he sighed and said, "I dare not be happy, otherwise if His Majesty gets angry, I'm afraid my old bones will fall apart."

After saying these meaningful words, Ye Xuan took the booklet to see the emperor.

Chen Changli stared at his back for a while, then went to look for Wan Shufang. Unexpectedly, the couple met on the palace road.

"You've come at the right time. I have something to tell you." As soon as Wan Shufang saw Chen Changli, she looked him up and down. After confirming that he was not seriously injured, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Wan Shufang's frown, as if she was troubled by something, Chen Changli asked hurriedly, "What do you want to tell me? Are you worried about His Majesty?"

"It has nothing to do with the emperor. It's my business." Yanran fell behind Wan Shufang.

As soon as she heard Chen Changli's words, she immediately poked her head out from behind Wan Shufang and asked cautiously, "Where is Liu Yaoyao?"

"She was following me before, but when His Majesty woke up, she was worried that His Majesty would do something bad to her, so she found a place to hide." Chen Changli saw Yanran's vigilant expression and vaguely guessed Wan Shufang's intention of looking for him.

Just as he was about to speak, Wan Shufang told him about Yanran being threatened, and then said, "Liu Yaoyao is definitely testing Yanran. Chen Changli, I want to meet her and talk to her."

"I'm afraid Liu Yaoyao doesn't want to see you." After hearing this, Chen Changli immediately told him about Liu Qingshan.

Yanran was extremely surprised: "Liu Yaoyao even killed her own brother! She is too cruel."

"The relationship between them is not that good, so trying their best to kill each other should be a good thing for them." Wan Shufang guessed.

Yanran frowned: "But Liu Yaoyao cares about her relatives very much, otherwise how could Chang Xuewei get her approval and take such careful care of her."

Chen Changli couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Even if they are relatives, they have torn their faces because of the rebellion, so I am not surprised that they would kill each other. I am only surprised by Liu Yaoyao's madness."

At this point, Chen Changli shook his head: "She killed Liu Qingshan in front of us, which shows how much hatred she has for Liu Qingshan. We outsiders don't know what happened to them, so we really can't speculate on their thoughts."
