The Ninth Prince pretended to be surprised: "Chen Changli, do you want to escape from the battlefield?"

Choked by these words, Chen Changli almost didn't know how to react.

But when he noticed that the other princes were looking over him, Chen Changli knew that he had to speak as soon as possible, otherwise these people would pounce on him like hungry wolves and gnaw at him.

"What are you running away from before the battle? Maybe the Ninth Prince thinks that I still have some value, so he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make full use of me."

Chen Changli reacted very quickly, and the words he blurted out specifically mentioned some of the Ninth Prince's thoughts.

After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for the Ninth Prince to speak: "As the general of Da Jing, I naturally have to devote myself to Da Jing, but if the emperor does not have the intention to save the world, I, the general, am just an ordinary person. There is nothing else I can do except trying to save my life when the building is about to collapse.”

"You'd better not look down on me, lest you hold me up high only to find out that I'm not even as good as your staff."

Chen Changli's words are not only belittling himself, but also pointing out that if a crumbling country wants to stop its decline, it must have a talented and powerful emperor, and generals who can march and fight are just the icing on the cake.

If the princes value him but are unwilling to trust him, and they are incapable of reversing the situation, it will be useless for him to fight again.

"Are you cursing Da Jing?" The Ninth Prince stared at Chen Changli, his voice hoarse and cold.

Chen Changli sighed helplessly: "I never meant this. If the Ninth Prince has any misunderstanding, please clarify it and I will explain it to you. But whether you trust me or not is entirely up to you. As a minister, I have no way to make you believe me. I can only wait. final result."

He looked very calm when he said this, as if he had realized that no matter what he said, the princes would not believe it and would do anything aggressive.

He can only express his attitude. If everyone has other ideas or calculations, he will wait for the final result to appear.

If it endangers himself, he will resist, and he cannot predict what the final result will be.

"You are so interesting." The Ninth Prince listened to Chen Changli's words and vaguely noticed some of his thoughts. His brows tightened unconsciously, but the Sixth Prince suddenly laughed.

After he smiled, he looked at Chen Changli meaningfully and asked with interest: "If we don't let you and your wife leave, what will you do?"

Without waiting for Chen Changli's answer, the sixth prince calmed down and said in a cold tone: "Do you want to help the fourth child, or do you want to wait until we brothers decide the winner before helping my father?"

His words were already accompanied by a question, and Chen Changli was quite surprised. Why did the sixth prince mention the Supreme Emperor? What did he think of?

"Lao Liu, do you want to be unfilial?" the new emperor who was watching from the side suddenly asked.

He seemed to be protecting Chen Changli, but the words "unfilial" were clearly aimed at the sixth prince.

Chen Changli originally wanted to test the sixth prince, but as soon as the new emperor opened his mouth, he swallowed his words and observed the development of the matter with a dark gaze.

But seeing the sarcasm on the face of the Sixth Prince, and the Ninth and Tenth Princes looking at each other without saying a word, Chen Changli knew in his mind that his presence would only make these people test him endlessly.

He glanced at the new emperor calmly, doubts growing in his heart.

It is a bit strange no matter how you think about it, opening the door for a few princes and not taking action after they broke into Qianqing Palace.

The new emperor was not big-minded. After giving up the convenience that the Supreme Emperor could bring, he directly chose to cooperate with Princess An Qing. His purpose was naturally to stabilize his throne and to get rid of several ambitious princes.

His thoughts clearly made Chen Changli think that he could control the overall situation and made other princes bow to him.

But his posture at the moment was not like this. It felt as if he did not expect that several princes had barged in together, and because they saw the other princes also barging in with others, they all aimed their spears at him.

With countless thoughts running through his mind, Chen Changli couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

These princes each had their own thoughts, and they wanted to force the palace to rebel when they broke into the palace tonight. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other, as if they had their own plans, and ended up deadlocked.

The stalemate among them made the matter of forcing the palace to rebel seem like child's play. If Chen Changli accidentally got involved, wouldn't he be trapped in their struggle in the end and unable to extricate himself.

Moreover, they obviously have little family ties and only care about the throne. Once they make up their minds to fight, they will either be bloody or life-and-death, and they may even be able to take advantage of the emperor.

Chen Changli believed that the Emperor was indeed old, and he wanted to pursue immortality.

Once the Supreme Emperor gains the upper hand again, there will be no need for rebels to lead troops to break this great scene, and its interior will be disintegrated by the Supreme Emperor.

As a general of Da Jing, he either died on the battlefield or was abandoned by the Supreme Emperor and died quietly.

Sighing in his heart, Chen Changli lowered his eyes. It seemed that he had been thinking for a long time, but in fact it only lasted a moment.

When he lowered his eyes and stopped observing the princes, the sixth prince came to him in one step and asked sternly: "Chen Changli, do you think that I am unfilial like the fourth child?"

Chen Changli couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the explosion in his ears, and then looked up at the Sixth Prince.

Seeing the indifference on his face, but the anger deep in his eyes, Chen Changli suddenly understood why the sixth prince wanted to question him.

After a moment of silence, Chen Changli sighed and said, "Since the Sixth Prince thinks that the Supreme Emperor will fully assist His Majesty, then why don't you tell His Majesty what you think? I think His Majesty will give you a just answer."

The sixth prince's face paled slightly when he heard this: "My father is partial, and the fourth child relies on his partiality to do whatever he wants. If I ask the fourth child, not only will he not tell me the truth, but he will also use my father to suppress me."

As he said this, he glanced at the new emperor, and when he saw his cold expression, he knew that the Supreme Emperor would indeed be on his side.

If he and the other brothers don't fight to the death, when the Emperor comes to his senses, there will be no way for them to survive.

Because of the unstable factor of the Supreme Emperor, the Sixth Prince was shocked to realize that not only was the new Emperor plotting what happened tonight, the Supreme Emperor was also conniving with them.

If they fight here to decide a winner, the Supreme Emperor may benefit. After all, the Supreme Emperor cares most about the power in his hands. No matter how bad his health is, he will find a way to take back the power.

The new emperor may have guessed this a long time ago, so he arranged such a play. They jumped in and were the best pathfinders for the new emperor.

The Sixth Prince's thoughts were spinning a thousand times, and his face was unconsciously gloomy and ugly, because there was still one person who had not arrived here, and that was Prince Duan.

He no longer struggled with whether the Supreme Emperor would help the fourth brother, nor did he want to force Chen Changli to make a decision. He looked at the fourth child with an incomprehensible expression, and after a long time he sighed: "The third brother is the smartest among all the brothers. The fourth brother, This time you were hunting geese all day long but got pecked in the eye."
