rontier army. We can't take this risk.""Sugar, don't you need silver""I need money, but I'm not in a hurry. Even if I was, I wouldn't harm you. This method won't work."After finishing, she muttered to...What

Yun Si led Yun Liu away, explaining as they went, "The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded right now, we can't get in. But Master Jiang has already gotten inside. We'll give him the antidote, and he'll find a way to make the Prince take it."

Yunliu hummed in agreement, "We have to hurry."

"Young Master Jiang will be at the back gate in another fifteen minutes. Let's go now, but we need to change our clothes so as not to attract attention."

"No problem."

Yun Si was right, half an hour later, Jiang Qingyang dressed in disguise appeared at the back gate of the Prince's Mansion. Even Yun Liu didn't recognize him.

Jiang Qingyang took the medicine and then looked at Yunliu, "Did King Beijang bring back the Crown Prince"

"No, the prince and princess were left in Beijang by the king."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good then. The Crown Prince will surely be executed by the Emperor if he returns. Staying here in Beijang is also quite good; at least it keeps him safe."

Yun Si pursed her lips and quickly asked about the prince's well-being, "How is the prince today"

"Things are looking grim." Jiang Qingyang frowned. "I'll find a way to administer the antidote to the prince, but... I suspect the prince might have suicidal thoughts."

"!!!"

Yun Si and Yun Liu looked at each other, only to hear Jiang Qingyang continue, "Right now, the prince has safely left the capital. The Crown Prince is probably thinking that as long as he dies, everything will be over. Then King of Beijiang and the prince won't be controlled by the current emperor everywhere! They also don't have to return to the capital to continue being schemed against by the emperor and other princes."

Yun Si fell silent for a moment, "Could it be... that the Crown Prince knows about Consort's poisoning and he feigned his illness by ingesting the poison"

Jiang Qingyang pursed her lips, "The prince I know would certainly have noticed the woman's little actions, but he still allowed her plot to succeed. This shows that the prince truly has a desire to die."

Besides, he refused to eat these two days. It seemed he knew the situation was becoming increasingly tense. He worried that King Beijiang and his son would return to the capital because of him, falling back into the Emperor's hands.

So, it's understandable that the Prince sought death. After all, with his intelligence and acumen, he could have foreseen all the unfolding events.

He had attempted suicide in prison more than once, but the Emperor was a shrewd man. He knew that if he died, there would be nothing to control the Northern Border King, so he wouldn't allow him to die easily.

The prince tried every means to commit suicide, while the emperor tried every means to stop him. After the crown prince was saved, the emperor's methods became even more cruel. Fearing that he would bite his tongue, the emperor had someone constantly plug his mouth shut for a period of time. Even meals were personally fed into his mouth.

The prince, once so noble, was treated with such disrespect.

Yun Si and Yun Liu didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, Yun Liu spoke:

"Young Master Jiang, be sure to tell the Crown Prince that our Prince has returned. This trip back to the capital, the Prince has his own plans. Tell him not to worry about anything, don't do anything, and just wait for the Prince to come and take him to find the young master."

Their king has done so much for the crown prince. If the crown prince were to die like this, it would be a grave injustice. Their king grew up under the protection of the crown prince, who was practically like his 'father' figure.

So, if the Crown Prince were to meet with an accident, these princes wouldn't feel relieved, but rather would be consumed by guilt for their inability to save him for the rest of their lives!

Jiang Qingyang sighed, "You guys protect your prince well. This time, the King of Bei Jiang dragged things on for so long before coming back, plus the previous defeat, the Emperor wants to deal with him, it's easy."

Yun Si and Yun Liu nodded slightly, "Understood."

Fearing discovery, Jiang Qingyang quickly returned to the Prince's Mansion, while Yun Si and Yun Liu also hurried back to the Northern Border Wangfu.

But when they returned, the emperor had already made his move. It was then that they realized their prince had never met with the emperor; he had been apprehended by the emperor's imperial guards outside the palace.

Now he is imprisoned in the secret dungeons of the Imperial Guard.

No one can see him.

This message was still delivered to them by Zhou You, the Minister of Punishment. At this time, the entire Beijang王府 had been taken under control.

Yun Si and Yun Liu were summoned back to the Minister of Punishment's residence.

Zhou You was waiting for them by the back gate of his mansion. As soon as they entered, Zhou You led them to a secret room in his house.

Yun Si and Yun Liu, without a hint of feverishness in their eyes, simply watched Zhou You calmly.

After all, Zhou You had never declared his stance before. Who he truly belonged to was still open to question.

Zhou You knew they were wary, so he personally poured them tea and took the initiative to speak:

"The Four Generals of the Cloud, the Six Generals of the Cloud, although this old man has no stance and supports no prince, he cannot stand idly by and watch the Emperor make mistake after mistake."

Yunsi and Yunliu looked at each other. Yunsi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou You, "What do you mean, Zhou Shangshu"

“As you all know, the Imperial Consort De is my daughter. A few days ago, she sent someone to inform me that the Emperor plans to send 500,000 troops to attack Beijang during the King's stay in the capital. The plan is to directly seize Beijang from the King's hands. What the Emperor desires is not merely the military talisman.”

“!!”

Yún sì and Yún liù instantly changed color. The emperor was actually going to send 500,000 troops to attack the Northern Frontier

Zhou You knew this news would surely shock them, so he shook his head at this moment:

"Not only do you find this unbelievable, even the civil and military officials are astonished. The Northern Border is Emperor's territory, an inseparable part of the Tianba Nation! Now he's sending troops to attack it Is the Emperor trying to make the King of the Northern Border rebel To force the title of traitor upon him!"

"King of the Northern Frontier has been victorious in battle these years. The Emperor couldn't find a strong and convincing excuse to execute him that would appease the people. Now, he wants to take a gamble, make King of the Northern Frontier a traitor. Only then can he legally execute him without being criticized by the world!"

Yun Liu heard this and immediately blew up. He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room:

"This dog emperor, how can our prince, who is his own flesh and blood, be treated like this!"

Yun Si let out a cold snort. "In the Emperor's household, where is there room for love!"

Zhou You helplessly shook his head, "If the current emperor continues like this...this day...I fear it will change."

Yún sì didn't know what he was thinking about. He narrowed his eyes and stared thoughtfully at Zhōu yóu:

"Lord Zhou risked his life to tell us brothers about this important matter today. I presume Lord Zhou has a condition, wouldn't you say"

Being guessed by Yun Si, Zhou You didn't react much. He nodded at this moment and directly admitted:

"This old man does have ulterior motives. This old man is not the emperor, this old man only has one daughter in his life, so he just wants to protect her for life."

"This old man doesn't care about future promotions. I only hope that both generals will remember this old man's help today. If such a day ever comes, I hope to use this merit to exchange for the life of Consort De."ng's eyes, and his whole person instantly burst forth with a murderous aura and a terrifying aura of despair like an abyss. Yunliu and Yunxi, the two attendants, hadn't felt this terrifying aura from...
