Being hunted by your own father and living in fear every day, who can remain calm?

"I must be able to find a way. I must not die!" he vowed to himself.

"This kingdom will be mine sooner or later!"

Baili Ye lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the inn, with a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.

After a moment, he lowered the curtain and said in a cold tone, "Let's go."

Inside the inn.

A beautiful maid walked into the room, saw the broken teacup on the table, and asked hurriedly: "My lord, are you okay?"

"It's all right," Kuishili replied briefly. The maid quickly cleaned up the debris and made him another pot of tea.

Kui Shili picked up the freshly brewed tea and just played with it, with no intention of drinking it. His eyes revealed a cold aura.

The maid who had followed her for many years knew that her master was in a bad mood, so she comforted her softly: "The princes of the royal family are so selfish. They always want the adults to do everything, but they are unwilling to give anything."

"Humph."

Kui Shili sneered: "Everyone in the world is the same, they only care about their own interests."

"My lord, should we consider finding a more trustworthy partner? Other princes may have greater potential," the maid suggested.

"Maybe it's time to make a change." Kui Shili pondered and took a sip of tea.

Returning to his residence, Baili Ye's mood became increasingly depressed, and he smashed the items in the room in anger. He could not accept such a deal as exchanging his sister Yue'er for military power.

Yue'er is his most cherished relative, how can he exchange her?

Whenever he thought of this, he could no longer suppress his anger. With a wave of his hand, the vase fell to the ground, and the sound of it breaking was particularly harsh in the silence.

"Who does he think he is? Why should I sacrifice Yue'er?"

Baili Ye's voice trembled with anger, and he finally punched the table. After the loud bang, his hands were covered in blood.

Hearing the noise, the person outside the door rushed in. He couldn't help but gasp when he stepped on the debris, but immediately ignored his injuries and advised: "Sir, please take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself for unworthy popularity."

"How can I not be angry? Kui Shili looked down on her so much that he even wanted to take Yue'er as a hostage! If she falls into his hands, the consequences will be disastrous." Baili Ye roared, his eyes red and his breathing rapid.

"Sir, Kui Shili is going too far. He doesn't take you seriously at all. You can stop cooperating with him!"

The subordinates were also indignant, feeling unwilling to see their master being humiliated.

They firmly believed that even without Kui Shili's support, you could still win the world. They would do their best to assist you, even if it meant going through fire and water.

Baili Ye clenched his fists until blood oozed out from between his fingers.

He had something in his mind but could not speak it out. At the moment, it was difficult for him to start a rebellion on his own. He knew that he had to win the assistance of Kui Shili and the support of the Kaifeng army before he could have a chance to start a rebellion.

How ridiculous! Even if he was stepped on by others, he could only bear it silently.

Baili Ye smiled bitterly, his face gloomy. Now he really was like a dog that had lost its home, powerless to resist and allowed to be bullied.

"Young Master!" His subordinates looked at him worriedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

Baili Ye raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more. The subordinate immediately shut up, his eyes full of worry.

Baili Ye sneered a few times and said through gritted teeth: "Everything I have suffered today, I will return to Kui Shili tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!" There was a cold determination in his words, as if he was swearing to the heaven.

……

The study in the palace was silent. The emperor was immersed in a mountain of memorials, which was far more than usual.

After quickly reading a memorial, the emperor frowned and threw it aside.

He picked up another one, and the dissatisfaction on his face became more obvious, and then he threw it aside. The content of each memorial was almost the same: the court officials opposed the canonization of Shen Siyan as the crown prince.

"very good!"

The emperor laughed in anger and swept all the memorials on the table to the ground.

"They actually teamed up to force me!"

The eunuch outside the door heard the noise and hurried in. Seeing the memorials scattered on the ground, he knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't hurt your body."

"How can I not be angry? These so-called loyal ministers dared to force me and not let me recognize my own son!"

"Si Yan is the child of me and Rong Er, so why not let him become the crown prince? He is the natural heir!

If it weren't for the incident that happened back then, Si Yan should have grown up by my side. I owe him too much, and now I just want to make it up to him."

The emperor's voice trembled with anger.

"Those ministers keep talking about righteousness, but in fact they are just afraid that I will make Si Yan the crown prince and that the throne will fall into his hands!"

The emperor grabbed a memorial and took a look at it: "This is the supporter of the seventh prince!"

Then he threw it to the ground fiercely. Then he picked up another one and said, "That's the Fifth Prince's man!"

"emperor!"

Eunuch Fu Zhong gently advised: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The imperial physician has advised you not to get angry."

The emperor's hands trembled slightly and he no longer opened the memorials.

He knew that the documents were nothing more than the ministers' objections to his recent decision.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Fu Zhong quickly prepared a cup of calming tea for the emperor.

The emperor fainted many times due to overwork from dealing with state affairs for a long time.

If he got angry again, it might pose a serious threat to his dragon body. After receiving the tea, the emperor did not drink it, but stared into the distance and asked softly: "What should I do?"

The emperor wants to make up for his past neglect of Si Yan and wants to officially enthrone him as the eldest prince to compensate him and the late Rong'er.

However, the civil and military officials in the court strongly opposed this decision, fearing that it would cause dissatisfaction and conflict. The emperor knew that if this decision was forced, it would not only cause unrest in the court, but also put Si Yan in trouble. He hoped that Si Yan could be safe and happy, rather than being excluded.

Eunuch Fu Zhong felt sorry to see the emperor so troubled, but he finally chose to remain silent and just stayed quietly beside the emperor.

At the same time, the second prince's palace seemed particularly deserted.

Since losing his status as crown prince, his life has become much simpler and his power is not as great as before.

Baili Lin stood at the palace gate, looking at a lonely tree in the distance, feeling as lonely as the tree.

Eunuch Fu Zhong hurried over and told him that the emperor was furious because of the ministers' memorials.

Baili Lin understood that all this was because of Shen Siyan's matter.

Eunuch Fu Zhong hinted that if Shen Siyan really became the eldest prince, the second prince's life would become even more difficult.

However, Baili Lin did not show any worry on his face, but instead showed a smile.

"I understand. You can go back." He said to Eunuch Fu Zhong.

Looking at the receding figure, Baili Lin continued to stare at the tree and had his own plans in mind.

For him, the higher Shen Siyan's status, the broader his future path will be. After all, he couldn't get to where he is today without Shen Siyan's help and support.
