Zhou Wenruo and Chen Jun left the room.

Seeing this, the second prince who was waiting in the yard stood up.

"Have you two reached an agreement?"

Although he was a prince, the second prince had a smile on his handsome and feminine face, and his voice was very friendly.

Chen Jun and Zhou Wenruo both bowed to the second prince.

Then Zhou Wenruo said: "It is not easy to attack Zhou Qingyu. Since the last assassination, the guards around Zhou Qingyu have become much stronger."

“The chances of positive success are slim.”

The guards that the great families in the capital provided to their descendants were basically in the lower three realms.

Because it would be useless if it was higher, and the cultivators in the upper three realms would indeed be unaffected by the capital's formation.

However, there is almost no force on the continent that can allow a cultivator in the upper three realms to serve as a bodyguard for their younger generations.

Therefore, if one wants to attack Zhou Qingyu head-on, one can only send a cultivator from the third realm.

But Zhou Qingyu is no longer short of third-level guards. The streets of the capital are now full of evil-suppressing envoys and patrolling soldiers from the Five Cities Army.

In addition, Zhou Qingyu himself is a cultivator at the peak of the second realm. In this situation, if he wants to attack head-on, the success rate is zero.

"We can only start with the people around her."

Zhou Wenruo said calmly.

"I will go back and think about the specific details of the plan. I will present it to Your Highness and Captain Chen soon. You two just need to wait patiently."

"Then I'll leave it to you, sir."

The second prince said with great trust.

At the same time, he couldn't help but become curious about Zhou Wenruo's identity again.

He knows the Zhou Mansion quite well and also possesses the strength of a sixth-level cultivator.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Zhou Wenruo bowed and said goodbye, then turned and walked out of the mansion.

"Sir, you are leaving now. Why don't you stay in the mansion tonight and rest?"

The second prince asked tentatively.

He intends to win over.

If a sixth-level magic practitioner could enter his mansion and serve as his staff.

It will be a great help to him.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenruo paused and then spoke softly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I have something else to attend to later, so I won't bother you any further."

After Zhou Wenruo left.

"Your Highness, it's not safe outside right now. I'm afraid I'll have to bother you too much."

Chen Jun bowed to the second prince.

"Captain Chen, just stay in the mansion and don't worry. No one can find out where you are."

The second prince nodded with a smile, then asked again.

"Captain Chen, do you know the identity of this gentleman?"

"I do know, but..."

Chen Jun looked hesitant.

Seeing his embarrassment, the second prince waved his hand and did not force him to reveal Zhou Wenruo's identity.

He ordered a confidant to take Chen Jun downstairs to rest.

The whole city is now under martial law, and Chen Jun can only hide in the Second Prince's mansion as a temporary shelter.

The second prince stood in the courtyard under the moonlight with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to succeed the throne.

He thought over and over again, even if it was a risky plan, and even if it could succeed in the end.

It is still not easy for him to defeat the prince in the fight for the throne.

Seeing this, an attendant stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, should we send someone to secretly follow the man in white and find out his identity?"

Hearing this, the Second Prince frowned slightly on his handsome and feminine face.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Need not."

Compared with the cheerful and heroic crown prince, the second prince has always been courteous, humble and polite when he is outside.

Since the man in white doesn't want to reveal his identity.

The second prince also didn't want his abrupt behavior to make a sixth-level magic practitioner feel bad about him.

"First, plan things for Lao Jiu. As for Zhou Qingyu... I'll wait for this gentleman to create an opportunity for me."

……

at the same time.

royal palace.

Kunning Palace, the queen's residence.

The night is long.

The lanterns on the eaves were blown by the night wind, and the light and shadows swayed.

The palace maid standing guard outside the door yawned sleepily.

Next to the gorgeous screen, the glazed palace lantern was burning lonely.

A beautiful woman with gorgeous features and a voluptuous figure, wearing an luxurious scarlet silk nightgown with gold weaving, with disheveled hair, was sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the quiet night outside the window.

at this time.

A palace maid walked in from outside, came to the side of the beautiful woman in palace dress, and whispered in her ear.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince has arrived."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman in the palace skirt - who was also the sister of the Queen of Dajin and the Princess of Runan.

A hint of anxiety appeared on her beautiful face, but she quickly covered it up and instructed the maid.

"Tell him to wait a moment."

About a quarter of an hour later.

A young man with an elegant demeanor walked in. He was dressed in white brocade clothes, with his hair tied up with a jade crown. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face.

At this time, the queen also took off her pajamas, put on a luxurious palace skirt, and tied her long hair into a bun.

The young man in brocade clothes came close to the queen and performed the proper salute as a junior.

"I've met my mother."

The young man's gentle voice.

This attracted the attention of the palace maids nearby.

It even made the queen feel a little itchy.

The palace is cold, lonely and empty.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem of the Great Jin Dynasty, but the current emperor, who is known as a wise ruler and has great talent and strategy, is not interested in women.

Government affairs, wars, cultivation... no matter which one, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, they are more attractive than the women in the harem.

Even the Empress had not been visited by the Emperor of Jin for a long time, not to mention the palace maids, who had long been feeling empty and unbearable.

But in front of the Queen, they did not dare to show any thoughts about the handsome and elegant Fifth Prince.

"You all should leave. Huang'er and I have something to say."

The queen said calmly.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the room looked at each other, and they all knew what was going to happen next.

But they all tacitly pretended that they knew nothing and quietly left the house.

"Mother."

Seeing that everyone had left, there were only two people left in the room.

The fifth prince seemed somewhat helpless.

"You shouldn't have called me into the palace so late."

He was already an adult prince, and being summoned to the palace in the middle of the night was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.

Even though the queen was his mother.

But in fact, unlike the crown prince and the ninth prince, the fifth prince was not born to the queen.

She was the daughter of another concubine, but that concubine died when the Fifth Prince was still young.

Shortly thereafter, the fifth prince was adopted by the queen.

This should have been a beautiful story in the harem.

However, the queen adopted him not because she felt sorry for him because he lost his mother at a young age and was helpless, but because of other purposes.

The Emperor of Jin had a handsome appearance, became famous at a young age, and had great ambitions. Not only did he have outstanding military talent, he was also able to govern government affairs in an orderly manner. He could be said to be a man of both civil and military skills.

Relying on his status as a martial artist of the eighth realm, he had led many military campaigns in person in his early years - at that time, Marquis Shenwei had not yet joined the army.

The Emperor of Jin led his army to fight in many battles, expanded the territory, defeated many powerful enemies of Jin, and led Jin to its peak.

It can be said that in that era when Marquis Shenwei had not yet risen.

The Emperor of Jin is the number one person in the entire Jin military.

He enjoys unparalleled prestige in Dajin and even in the entire continent.

For wealth and glory, and also to marry this man who is so dazzling in the entire continent.

There were countless women who wanted to enter the palace as concubines.

The Queen is one of them.

She and the Princess of Runan were both from aristocratic families and were sisters. Originally, the older sister, the Princess of Runan, should have married the Emperor of Jin as queen, but she had long been in love with the Emperor of Jin's brother, the Prince of Runan, while the younger sister, the Empress, had long admired the Emperor of Jin.

In this political marriage, it doesn’t matter who marries the Emperor of Jin, as long as the one who marries is a legitimate daughter of noble status.

So in the end, the kind-hearted elder sister married the King of Runan and became the shrewd and capable Princess of Runan today.

And the once innocent sister finally got married to the Emperor of Jin as she wished and became the Empress who ruled the country.

Today, although the Prince of Runan has little power and is romantic and amorous, the Princess of Runan's position in the palace is still as stable as a rock, and she is the mistress who has the final say.

However, after giving birth to the Ninth Prince, the Queen rarely received the favor of the Emperor of Jin again.

In the lonely nights.

The once innocent girl who admired Emperor Jin very much now felt more and more resentful.

In the end, perhaps for revenge, or perhaps to relieve the emptiness in her heart, a distorted idea grew in the queen's heart.

She set her sights on the fifth prince, who lost his mother at a young age, and took him in under the guise of adoption.

In the name of adoption, doing shameful things.

This abnormal relationship has continued to this day.
