Chapter 2709 Going to see an old friend!

What the guard said was what had just happened in the West Palace.

The man listened without changing his expression.

On his calm face, there was no sign of joy, anger, sorrow or happiness.

It is normal for the emperor and empress to meet the father-in-law of the emperor.

It was normal for the father and daughter to have a secret conversation and seal off the West Palace for confidential conversation.

But, if the Emperor believes that he is sane, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

He was actually very interested in what the two people talked about.

Although he has been in seclusion for many years, he has heard about some recent events.

The second brother sent people to rob and kill the sixth brother while he was on official business in the Forty-three Regions. He knew this clearly.

In fact, he already knew it from the very beginning.

But he didn't intervene.

Because they are princes of the Dapeng Dynasty, and since they all have the qualifications to compete for the throne of emperor, they have to use some means.

The huge Dapeng Dynasty cannot be handed over to a weakling.

At the beginning, he had fought for the position of emperor through countless conspiracies and bloody battles.

So what if they are brothers? For the sake of power, one has to make choices. As a ruler, one should not take feelings so seriously.

If the sixth brother died, it could only be blamed on his incompetence and the fact that he was born into the wrong imperial family.

In the end, he will definitely reprimand the second son, but he will not be too harsh on him about this matter, because the second son has proved to him with his actions that he is a qualified successor.

Of course, this is far from enough to succeed the throne of the Emperor.

In front of the second prince were several other princes, especially the third prince.

In fact, in Peng Kun's eyes, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is not that important.

In other words, he valued it before, but he doesn't value it now.

The reason was simply that the Emperor and Empress had become alienated from him, and he had long harbored resentment towards them. He hated the Emperor and Empress and therefore, deep down in his heart, the two sons born to the Emperor and Empress were not much different from illegitimate sons.

In fact, to be fair, he likes the third brother more.

Compared to the second brother's recklessness, the third brother is obviously more resourceful.

Until now, he has not yet been completely sure in his heart who will take over his position.

He was also surprised that Lao Liu could come back alive. This undoubtedly proved that Lao Liu was capable.

At this moment, he felt even more conflicted about who should take the throne.

Now, the Emperor and Empress were plotting something with Father-in-law Lou, which made the Emperor feel very uncomfortable.

  This woman, I had been so good to her in the past, but how did she treat me?

Blindly indulging others will only make them more and more unscrupulous.

If it weren't for the repeated persuasion of the Supreme King, he would have kicked this woman out of the palace long ago.

  Who made him choose the wrong person from the beginning?

The martial arts inherited by the Peng family cannot be easily changed once the double shame objects are selected, especially now that the emperor and empress have reached the seven-star realm.

The two top-quality fruits in the garden will mature soon. By then, he will still need the help of the emperor and empress to have a greater chance of reaching the eight-star realm.

A lack of patience will ruin a great plan. At this moment he needs the emperor and empress, so he can only choose to endure.

"Follow that young man, and report to me wherever you go, who you meet, and what you do."

After a long while, Peng Kun gave a faint instruction.

"Yes."

The guard then disappeared.

In the quiet room, Peng Kun was silent for a long time. As an emperor, he could be said to be the master of the entire thirty-three domains, but sometimes, he still felt helpless. However, soon, when he broke through the eight-star realm, he would no longer have any scruples, and all the helplessness in the past would become a passing cloud.

"No matter what, I hope you can restrain yourself and stop challenging my bottom line."

Peng Kun spoke as if he was talking to himself, and then closed his eyes.

Let’s talk about Yang Ming.

He thought that his ability to hide his tracks was first-rate. Even though this was the Dapeng royal court, he could come and go freely without worrying about being discovered.

However, when he came out of the palace, he keenly discovered that there was a tail behind him.

Someone had been following him since he left the palace.

This person hides in the void and his stealth skills are also first-rate, but in front of Yang Ming, it is still not enough.

He is only in the late stage of the Saint Lord Realm. With Yang Ming's strength, it would not be difficult to find out something strange as long as he is more careful.

At this moment, Yang Ming's heart sank slightly, but it was not because of the opponent's strength. For him, a Saint Lord in the late stage was as easy as crushing an ant.

But the appearance of this person meant that his whereabouts had been exposed, and he had no choice but to take it seriously.

  If this person was sent by the Emperor and Empress to monitor them, then it would be fine. But if he was the Emperor's man, wouldn't that mean that the Emperor had also discovered his existence?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows again. Without making a sound, he went straight to his residence in North City.

For a person in the late stage of Saint Lord Realm, it is really not worth it for him to use the Divine Art of Controlling Slaves. After all, using the Divine Art of Controlling Slaves also has many costs for him.

However, under the current circumstances, he seems to have no choice but to make this choice.

Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Li Xu walked into the courtyard. Chen Muyu was sitting leisurely on a rattan chair reading a book.

"Brother Yang."

Li Xu was not afraid of disturbing Chen Muyu. He stepped forward and bowed, as if he had something to say.

Chen Muyu closed the book and said, "Brother Li, what's the matter?"

Peng Yu had already explained to them what happened in the Third Prince's Palace, and Chen Muyu did not ask about it. At this time, Li Xu came to him. Chen Muyu thought that he must have come for Peng Yu to attend the banquet of the Third Prince.

But when Li Xu spoke, he did not mention this matter.

"Brother Yang, I have to be away for a while. I will be back in three to five days at the least, and half a month at the most. During this time, please take care of the Sixth Prince." Li Xu said.

"Oh?"

Chen Muyu looked at him in surprise, "You're leaving? Where are you going?"

"To see an old friend." Li Xu answered directly.

The answer was a bit euphemistic, and he didn't mean to give Chen Muyu a detailed explanation.

Chen Muyu frowned slightly, "What old friend? Is it far away? The Lingnan Twins you mentioned before?"

"No, Lingnan Shuangzun, I have already sent a message, they should be here soon. The place I am going to this time is very far away, not in the Thirty-three Regions, and the person I want to see is one of my elders."

Li Xu said simply, but did not say who it was.

It was obvious that he didn't want to reveal too much to Chen Muyu.

Naturally, Chen Muyu didn't dare to continue asking.

Peng Yu's situation is worrying now, and he is in need of people. It is a bit strange that Li Xu leaves at this time.
