Imperial Capital.

Prime Minister's Office.

Ye Beigui stood on the window sill, looking out at the outside of the imperial capital.

It was already dark, and from what he could see, he could see nothing clearly except the vast expanse of night.

But he knew that he was looking in the direction of Qingming Mountain.

A middle-aged man came to Ye Beigui respectfully.

Just listen to the middle-aged man sigh and say: "Crown Princess Gan Yao thinks that she secretly went out of the city to meet Xuanyuan Hero without anyone noticing."

"But she doesn't know that there are never any secrets in the imperial capital."

This middle-aged man is Ye Beigui's eldest son, Ye Guan.

Ye Beigui did not discuss Ye Guan's topic.

He just asked: "Ling'er still hasn't agreed?"

Ye Guan shook his head helplessly: "That child was spoiled by me, he is too willful!"

"She said she was against arranged marriage and wanted free love."

"Dad, listen, isn't this just nonsense?"

Ye Beigui looked into the distance and said nothing.

Ye Guan hesitated for a moment.

Then he said cautiously: "But Dad, having said that..."

"Everyone knows that His Royal Highness is not favored by the Holy One, and in terms of intelligence and talent, His Highness is far inferior to the second prince."

"In the great war that year, His Highness the Second Prince led an army to conquer, and his talents were not inferior to those of the generals of the time."

"In addition, His Majesty has given His Highness the Second Prince military power, which makes His Highness the Second Prince even more powerful."

"So it can be seen that His Highness the Second Prince has a very high chance of competing for the throne in the future!"

"If we really marry Ling'er to His Highness the Crown Prince, then in the future..."

Ye Beigui suddenly snorted coldly.

Ye Guan hurriedly stopped talking.

Ye Beigui turned his head slightly and glanced at Ye Guan.

"Ye Guan, do you want to resist the decree?"

As soon as Ye Beigui said these words, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Ye Guan's forehead.

"My son doesn't dare!"

Ye Guan answered hurriedly.

Ye Beigui turned his head and continued to look into the vast night.

But Ye Guan has become silent and no longer dares to speak.

Of all the people in the world, only Ye Ling'er could talk nonsense in front of Ye Beigui, no matter how big or small.

Except for Ye Ling'er, no one in the Ye family was afraid of Ye Beigui.

Not everyone can bear the power of the prime minister.

Ye Beigui's cloudy eyes were still staring into the distance.

After a while, he suddenly said: "He is about to enter the imperial capital."

Ye Guan's ears twitched, and he had already guessed who Ye Beigui was talking about.

Ye Beigui continued: "I thought he would lead his army."

"But I didn't expect that he would dare to come to the imperial capital with only a team of guards."

"He is so confident, where does that confidence come from?"

Ye Guan continued to be silent.

Ye Guan didn't have much interest in that person.

What he cares more about is who his daughter Ye Linger can marry.

Ye Beigui looked at Ye Guan's appearance and couldn't help but shook his head.

"Don't just focus on the fight for the crown prince's position."

"Don't just think that relying on a marriage can really have the effect you want."

"You should take a longer view. Leave the imperial capital and look at the whole world!"

"If you remain short-sighted, who can take on the important responsibilities of the Ye family in the future?"

He seemed to be able to read his son's thoughts.

Ye Guan's heart trembled, and he was terrified.

"As you command, father."

He answered respectfully and fearfully.

Seeing his son's humble look, Ye Beigui couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment again.

He ignored his son and continued to look into the vast night.

"When he comes, the imperial capital, which has been peaceful for many years, will be in trouble again."

"Will this storm subside soon? Or will it get worse?"

"Even I can't see clearly..."

"After all, that person never plays his cards according to common sense, making it impossible for people to guess."

"But no matter what, our Ye family must survive this storm."

After Ye Beigui finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, then turned and left.

Ye Guan stood alone on the balcony. He also followed his father's example and looked out at the outside of the imperial capital.

But he could see nothing but darkness.

"Is that person really that powerful?"

"He is only a human being, not a god."

Ye Guan snorted softly.

His father was still making too much fuss.

Now that person can't even protect himself, but he still wants to make trouble again?

Ye Guan curled his lips contemptuously, disapproving.

…

Royal Palace.

A tall building.

A young man also stood on the balcony and looked into the distance.

This man is dressed in yellow with a python pattern embroidered on it, which indicates his status as a prince.

The young man looked into the distance intently, his eyes shining with wisdom and a strong will to fight.

"Ning Wang Yuan Lie was eliminated so quickly. It seems that he was just in vain."

"Xuanyuan Hero, your opponent is me!"

"We are destined to be enemies, with you and without me."

"As long as I defeat you, the whole world will be mine!"

Having said this, the young man turned his head and looked at the core area of ​​the palace.

There is the Jinluan Palace.

It is also the center of power of the entire country, where hundreds of officials worship, and where the throne is placed.

Decisions that can affect the direction of the country are made there one after another.

"Including that place."

"That place will also be mine!"

The young man's eyes were intense.

The expansion of his ambition made him feel full of high fighting spirit.

He believed that he was born extraordinary and destined to do earth-shattering feats!
