I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Two days later.

Outside the Crown Prince's residence.

Murong Qingcang arrived alone and flew into a rage outside the Crown Prince's residence, cursing the heavens and the earth.

This attracted many residents from nearby noble families who peeked out to watch and discussed the matter.

"Qin Li, you brat! How dare he!"

"Tell him to get out here right now!"

"Otherwise, I will certainly not be polite to him!"

"Did you hear me? Go inside and pass on the message!"

"..."

Murong Qingcang was spitting wildly outside the mansion, while Wang Bao, sitting on the steps outside the mansion holding his long sword, was picking at his ear with his little finger.

"Did you hear me!"

Seeing that Wang Bao remained unmoved, Murong Qingcang shouted sharply.

Just a few days ago, when he saw him, he said he had long admired his reputation and respected him greatly. Now, he was speaking to him in a commanding tone, which could only prove one thing: Qin Li's avoidance of him these past few days had greatly angered Murong Qingcang.

Wang Bao lowered his hand and casually said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I already sent someone in to deliver the message."

"However, the Regent also knows that the Crown Prince has caught a cold and is not in a position to receive guests. If the Regent forces his way in and gets infected, then it will be our fault."

Should we force our way in?

Murong Qingcang was taken aback.

That's right, if Qin Li won't come out to see him, why doesn't he just force his way in?

Based on his status as the regent of Northern Mang, he didn't believe anyone would dare to stop him.

Even if someone dares to stop him, they wouldn't dare to harm him, unless they want to trigger another war between the two countries, and no one can bear such consequences.

Thinking of this, Murong Qingcang suddenly flicked his sleeve and was about to stride up the steps and burst into the Crown Prince's residence.

The guards at the door were about to step forward to stop him, but after receiving a look from Wang Bao, they only pretended to stop him for a moment before letting Murong Qingcang in.

After breaking into the Crown Prince's residence, Murong Qingcang soon found Qin Li.

Seeing Qin Li at this moment, Murong Qingcang's anger flared even more.

This is hardly a cold! Qin Li was seen happily embracing two women.

If it weren't broad daylight, I'd probably have put on a live sex show for him right there.

"Qin Li!"

Hearing someone call his name, Qin Li looked up.

The two women beside him stood up somewhat shyly, quickly turned to the side, and lowered their heads to straighten their clothes.

Who else could it be but Xiao Xue'er and Bai Zhenzhen?

"Alright, you may all leave."

Qin Li waved dismissively at the two women.

Xiao Xue'er linked arms with Bai Zhenzhen, and the two women quickly withdrew.

As Qin Li stood up and straightened his collar, he walked out and said with a hearty laugh:

"A rare guest indeed!"

"I was unaware of the Regent's arrival; I have failed to greet you properly."

Murong Qingcang wasn't buying it at all, and with a flick of his sleeve, he said, "Qin Li, stop playing these empty tricks on me."

"What exactly do you want? Just tell me!"

Qin Li awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What can I do? Of course, I just hope everyone can get along peacefully."

"Quickly, please come in."

Murong Qingcang didn't go in; he stood outside the hall, his brows furrowed in a cold glare, and said, "Qin Li, these past few days, you've been ignoring me like this. Aren't you afraid I'll fight you to the death?"

"A fight to the death?"

Qin Li paused, then laughed: "Well, I really don't believe that the Regent will be able to ascend the throne after returning home. That's a throne that so many people dream of. Would the Regent really be willing to give it up?"

After that, Murong Qingcang fell silent.

Qin Li is right. That is the throne that many people dream of, and he is no exception.

Once he returns, he can ascend the throne; how could he bear to give that up?

Therefore, a desperate, all-or-nothing approach is a last resort, not his first choice.

"If you want things to be peaceful, then why are you leaving me hanging like this!" Murong Qingcang said angrily.

He waited at the post station day after day, until the flowers were almost withered, but Qin Li still didn't come to find him.

It was only today that he took the initiative to find Qin Li; otherwise, he really didn't know when he would have been able to see Qin Li again.

Qin Li walked out and strolled aimlessly through the courtyard outside the hall.

With his hands behind his back, Qin Li said calmly, "It's not that I want to leave Your Highness hanging, but Your Highness went to the palace, and I had to send people to investigate what Your Highness and His Majesty said and discussed."

"So, have you found out anything?"

Murong Qingcang stood motionless, his eyes following Qin Li's movements.

"No," Qin Li replied truthfully.

"No?"

Murong Qingcang laughed, "I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not," Qin Li said, "Although I have absolute power in the capital and many of my spies in the palace, my influence is not so great that I know everything."

Emperor Xuan invited Murong Qingcang into the palace. When speaking, he dismissed all outsiders, including Han Zhen.

Therefore, only the two of them in this world know what they talked about; Qin Li has no idea.

"Does the Crown Prince want to know?"

Murong Qingcang asked, "Why don't you ask me, Your Highness? Perhaps I will take pity on you and tell you."

Qin Li suddenly laughed again: "Your Highness doesn't know, does he? I don't have the habit of asking for favors. If Your Highness is unwilling to tell me, then please leave."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several guards rushed into the courtyard, each one looking menacing.

If Murong Qingcang hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have had a chance to say anything; he would have been immediately taken away from the Crown Prince's residence and sent back to the post station.

Upon seeing them, Murong Qingcang narrowed his eyes. "You dare!"

Qin Li's smile remained unchanged: "Having spent so much time in the capital, doesn't Your Highness understand me? In this world, is there anything I wouldn't dare to do?"

"I will only give Your Highness a quarter of an hour. If Your Highness is unwilling to speak, then please go back. I have plenty of time."

After saying that, Qin Li turned to go back into the hall.

The next moment, Murong Qingcang suddenly spoke up: "Wait a moment."

Qin Li stopped and turned around: "What, Your Highness, you've come to your senses so quickly?"

Murong Qingcang laughed as well: "You can't help it if you don't understand."

"That day, you invited me to the palace before His Majesty. There was nothing else to it but to use me to kill you."

"Qin Li, you've lived a truly pathetic life. Your father actually wants to use me, an outsider, to kill his son. It's easy to imagine how many heinous things you've done."

"You agreed?" Qin Li asked.

"certainly,"

Murong Qingcang replied, "As long as you die, I can go back."

"Why is Your Highness here again now?" Qin Li asked.

Murong Qingcang sighed softly, "I will kill you one day, but not now. It's better to cooperate with you than with your emperor, because your emperor can't help me return under your nose."

"The prince is a clever man!"

"The Crown Prince too!"

"please!"

"please!"
