What the guard said was actually what happened in the West Palace just now.
After hearing this, the man remained calm.
There was no trace of joy, anger, sorrow or joy in his face.
It is normal for the emperor and the empress to meet the father-in-law.
The father and daughter had whispers, and it was normal for them to keep the West Palace secret.
However, if Emperor Zun believed that he was normal, he would be kicked in the head by a donkey.
He was actually very interested in what the two of them talked about.
Although he has been in seclusion all year round, he has heard about some of the things that have happened recently.
The second child took advantage of the fact that the sixth child was on business in the 43rd region and sent people to rob and kill him. He knew this clearly.
In fact, he already knew it from the very beginning.
But he didn't interfere.
Because they are princes of the Dapeng Dynasty, and since they all have the qualifications to compete for the position of emperor, they must use their methods.
The huge Dapeng Dynasty cannot be handed over to a weak person.
In the beginning, his position as emperor was won through countless conspiracies and countless bloody battles.
So what about brothers? For the sake of power, there should be choices. As a ruler, you shouldn't value feelings so much.
If Lao Liu died, it could only be because he was incompetent and was born into the emperor's family by mistake.
In the end, he will definitely scold the second child, but he will not be too harsh on this matter, because the second child has proved to him through actions that he is a qualified successor.
Of course, just relying on this to succeed as the emperor is not enough.
In front of the second child, there are several other princes, especially the third prince.
In fact, in Peng Kun's eyes, the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is not that important.
In other words, he valued it before, but not now.
The reason is that the Empress and Empress were separated from him, and he had long complained about the Empress and hated the Empress in his heart. As for the two sons born by the Empress, deep down in his heart, they were not much different from the concubines.
.
Even, to be fair, he prefers the third child.
Compared to the second child's recklessness, the third child is obviously more capable.
Until now, he has not yet completely determined 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 also capable.
At this time, he was even more confused about who should belong to the throne.
Now, the emperor and the empress don't know what they are plotting with Zhang Guozhang, which makes the emperor feel very uncomfortable.
This woman, I used to be so kind to her, but how did she treat me?
Blindly indulging, in exchange for the other party becoming more and more unscrupulous.
If it hadn't been for the Supreme King's repeated persuasion, he might have kicked this woman out of the palace long ago.
Who made him choose the wrong person from the beginning?
Once the Peng family's inherited skills are chosen, they cannot be easily changed, especially now that the emperor and empress have reached the seven-star realm, they cannot be changed easily.
The two top-quality fruits in the garden will mature soon. By then, he will need the help of the empress to have greater confidence in reaching the eight-star realm.
A little impatience will mess up the big plan. At this time, he needs the emperor and empress, so he can only choose to be patient.
"Follow that young man, report where he went, who he met, what he did, and report to me at any time."
After a long time, Peng Kun gave a faint instruction.
"yes."
The guard immediately disappeared.
In the quiet room, Peng Kun was silent for a long time. As an emperor, he can be said to be the master of the entire thirty-three domains. However, sometimes, there is still helplessness.
However, soon, when I break through the Eight Star Realm, I will no longer have the slightest scruples, and all the previous helplessness will become a passing cloud.
"No matter what, I hope you can restrain yourself and don't challenge my bottom line again and again."
Peng Kun said something as if talking to himself, and then closed his eyes.
…

Let’s talk about Yang Ming.
He believed that his ability to conceal his presence was first-class. 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 was still keenly aware that a tail appeared behind him.
Someone has been following him since he left the palace.
This person is hiding in the void, and his stealth skills are top-notch, but in front of Yang Ming, he is still not enough to see.
He was only in the late stage of the Holy Lord Realm. With Yang Ming's strength, it would not be difficult to find something fishy as long as he paid more attention.
At this time, Yang Ming's heart sank slightly, not because of the opponent's strength. For him, a late-stage Saint Lord realm was as easy as crushing an ant.
But the appearance of this person means that his traces have been exposed, so he has no choice but to ignore it.
If this person was sent by the Emperor and Empress to monitor him, that would be okay, but if he was a member of Emperor Zun, wouldn't that mean that Emperor Zun had also discovered his existence?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, and went straight to his residence in Beicheng calmly.
For a person in the late stage of the Holy Master Realm, it is really not worth using the Divine Art of Controlling the Slave. After all, using the Divine Art of Controlling the Slave also comes with many costs for him.
However, under the current circumstances, it seems that he has to make this choice.
…

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.
In the small courtyard, Li Xu walked in, and Chen Muyu was sitting leisurely and elegantly on a wicker chair reading a book.
"Brother Yang."
Li Xu was not afraid of disturbing Chen Muyu, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands, as if he came with something in mind.
Chen Muyu closed the book and said, "Brother Li, what's the matter?"
Peng Yu went to explain to them what happened in the three princes' palace, and Chen Muyu did not interfere. At this time, Li Xu came to him. Chen Muyu thought that it was because Peng Yu was attending the third prince's banquet.
But when Li Xu opened his mouth, he did not mention this matter.
"Brother Yang, I have to leave for a period of time, at least three to five days, and I will be back in half a month at most. During this time, please ask Brother Yang to look after His Highness the Sixth Prince," Li Xu said.
"oh?"
Chen Muyu looked at him in surprise, "You want to leave? Where are you going?"
"Going to meet an old friend." Li Xu replied directly.
The answer was a bit tactful and did not mean to give Chen Muyu a detailed explanation.
Chen Muyu frowned lightly, "What old friend? Are they far away? The two Lingnan deities you mentioned before?"
"No, Lingnan Shuangzun, I have sent a message. They should be here soon. The place I want to go this time is far away, not in the Thirty-three Regions. What I want to see is one of my elders."
Li Xu said briefly, but didn't say who it was.
Obviously, he didn't want to reveal too much to Chen Muyu.
Chen Muyu naturally found it difficult to continue questioning.
Now that Peng Yu is in a worrying situation, and it is the time when he is employing people, it is a bit strange for Li Xu to leave at this time.
