Chapter 2708: Go meet an old friend!

Chapter 2709 Go meet an old friend!

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

The man listened to it and remained calm.

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

It was normal for the empress to meet the father-in-law.

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

But if the emperor believed that he was normal, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

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

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

The second son took advantage of the sixth son's official business in the Forty-three Regions to send people to rob and kill him. He knew this clearly.

In fact, he had known about it since the beginning of the action.

But he did not intervene.

Because they were princes of the Dapeng Dynasty, since they all had the qualifications to compete for the position of the emperor, they had to show their means.

The huge Dapeng Dynasty could not be handed over to a weak person.

At the beginning, his position as the emperor was also won through countless conspiracies and bloody fights.

So what if they are brothers? For the sake of power, one should make choices. As a monarch, one should not value feelings so much.

If the sixth son died, it can only be blamed on his inability and being born in the wrong imperial family.

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

Of course, it is far from enough to want to succeed the position of emperor with this.

There are several other princes in front of the second son, especially the third prince.

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

Or, he valued it before, but not now.

The reason is that the empress and he have been alienated, and he has long had complaints about the empress and empress in his heart. He hates the two sons born by the empress and the illegitimate children. In his heart, there is actually not much difference between the two sons born by the empress and the illegitimate children.

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

Compared to the recklessness of the second brother, 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 the sixth brother could come back alive, which undoubtedly proved that the sixth brother was also capable.

At this time, his heart was even more entangled about the ownership of the throne.

Now, the emperor and the queen did not know what they were plotting with Lou Guozhang, which made the emperor feel very uncomfortable.

This woman, how good he had been to her, but how did she treat him?

Blindly indulged, but the other party became more and more unscrupulous.

If it were not 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?

Once the double shame object is selected for the skills inherited by the Peng family, it cannot be easily changed, especially now that the emperor and the queen have reached the seven-star realm, it is even more impossible to change.

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

A little impatience can ruin a big plan. He needed the empress at this time, so he could only choose to be patient.

"Follow that young man, report to me at any time where you go, who you meet, and what you do."

After a long time, Peng Kun said lightly.

"Yes."

The guard 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 had helplessness.

But 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.

"Anyway, I hope you can restrain yourself and don't challenge my bottom line again and again."

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

...

——

Let's talk about Yang Ming.

He thought he was first-class at hiding his tracks. Even though this was the Great Peng King's Court, he could come and go freely without worrying about being discovered.

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

Someone has 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 Holy Lord Realm. With Yang Ming's strength, he only needs to be more careful and it is not difficult to find out something strange.

At this time, Yang Ming's heart sank slightly, not because of the other party's strength. A late stage of the Holy Lord Realm is as easy as crushing an ant to him.

But the appearance of this person means that his whereabouts have been exposed, which makes him have to take it seriously.

If this person is sent by the emperor to monitor him, it is easy to say, but if it is the emperor's people, doesn't it mean that the emperor has also discovered his existence?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming frowned slightly, and then stretched out his brows again, without making a sound, and went directly to his residence in the north city.

A late stage of the Holy Lord Realm is really not worth it for him to use the slave control magic. After all, using the slave control magic, for him, there are also many costs.

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

…

——

Sixth Prince's Mansion.

In the courtyard, Li Xu walked in. Chen Muyu was sitting on a rattan chair reading a book leisurely and elegantly.

"Brother Yang."

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

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

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

But Li Xu spoke, but did not mention this matter.

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

"Oh?"

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

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

The answer was a bit euphemistic, and there was no intention to explain it in detail to Chen Muyu.

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

"No, the Lingnan Twins, I have sent a message, they should be here soon. The place I am going to this time is 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 is obvious that he did not want to reveal too much to Chen Muyu.

Chen Muyu naturally did not continue to ask.

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