"Do you look like your father?"

A sigh-like chuckle sounded softly in the silent cave, and Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan faintly:

"What you mean by this is that after your father has cut off your Prime Minister's office, your second brother will start over again and follow the same path they took?"

"Good question, I don't know."

"."Li Qingyan.

Xu Yuan relaxed his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I have only had a few encounters with the current Holy Emperor since I was a child, and I don't know much about him. I just said those things from Li Zhaoyuan's perspective.

of."

An unknown smile flashed across Li Qingyan's lips:

"So you think that the second brother will block his worth and life in the father's thoughts?

"Furthermore, when it comes to doing business with the sect, my eldest brother seems to have an advantage. After all, the National Master is my eldest brother's kendo master in name, and he even stayed in the Sword Sect's sect for three years in his early years."

Xu Yuan nodded slightly and asked:

"What you said makes sense, but besides that, does Li Zhaoyuan have any other ideas?"

"."

A moment of silence,

Li Qingyan shook his head boredly.

Xu Yuanze said quietly:

"The mother-in-law is a palace maid, not the eldest son. Your second brother wants to ascend to the throne. Every step he takes is gambling with his life. And this time he is gambling that your father's attitude towards my prime minister will change.

"Now it seems that he has a high probability of making the right bet. Next, it’s up to us to see how my father will take the move."

Establishing a connection with the sect does not happen overnight.

In other words, Li Zhaoyuan most likely started his arrangements more than ten years ago or even more than twenty years ago.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan restrained his serious expression and smiled:

"However, I personally would rather see our father and the others working together to take this road to the end, rather than leaving it to the next generation."

After the voice paused briefly, Xu Yuan whispered:

"Then realize the romance they had back then."

"Romantic?" Li Qingyan murmured with interest.

In the dark cave, Xu Yuan's bloody eyes flashed:

"For the same ideal, a romance that lasts until death."

"."

Li Qingyan said nothing after hearing this, and slowly stood up from the cold stone surface with his knees propped up.

Dressed in red, the figure is as dark as blood in a dark cave, with a slim figure standing upright and a calm voice:

"This cave seems quite big. Let me go take a look around.

"But you can look for this kind of romantic consort in picture books. There should be many such stories in there."

"."

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan mouthed: "Tsk"

She was slightly dissatisfied with the words of the breast-binding princess that ruined the atmosphere.

But after a moment of pause, Xu Yuan touched his chin, looked at her slim back, and said with a smile:

"Are you so unsure of your father?"

"."

Li Qingyan did not stop, and his back gradually disappeared into the darkness of the cave.

A long while,

After a chuckle of unknown meaning came from the distance, her quiet voice came faintly:

"As Mr. Xu's child, I believe that you, Prince Consort, should know the taste of power."

As soon as she finished speaking, all she could hear was her footsteps retreating away.

"."

Xu Yuan frowned, but immediately after seeing the Sumeru ring on his fingertips, he sighed softly.

Girls, it is true that they are cuter when they are more emotional.

In his previous life, Xu Yuan had never seen any big scenes, but most of the dozen or so people were capable of engaging in office politics just for a few cents of power. They were constantly fighting and scheming to get each other into trouble, and even did not hesitate to drag people into them.

This is true for a private enterprise with more than a dozen people, let alone the supreme imperial power.

The standard puppet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the previous life could think of ways to seize power through coups. As long as there is a slight possibility for ancient and modern emperors, no one will tolerate the imperial power falling into their hands.

If he gives up this kind of power for his ideals, then Li Yaoxuan will no longer be an emperor, but will directly transcend and become a saint.

But as of now, neither old man has done this.

Li Yaoxuan needs the royal family inheritance to prevent Li Xingtian’s family from ending in his generation.

And his father also has followers who have been with him for most of his life.

At the end of the day, everyone is like-minded,

See you again at the top,

The surrounding scenery has changed.

This kind of romance,

There is a high probability that it can only appear in picture books.

Li Qingyan went out to look for a way out, while Xu Yuan stayed in place to recover his energy.

The Yuan Qi injected into Xu Yuan's body by Li Qingyan only had a protective effect, and the depletion of his own Yuan Qi still made his body weak and depleted.

But Xu Yuan doesn’t care.

I'm rich.

The power brought by his position as the person in charge of the Northern Territory of the Prime Minister's Mansion made his mouth full of oil all at once.

In his previous life, he was reluctant to take precious elixirs while playing games, but now he only counts them by the bottle in his Sumeru Ring.

I don’t know how much time has passed in the cave, but the only sound is the occasional dripping of water from the stalactite tips

The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Yuan saw that she, dressed in red robe, had returned to him at some point.

He came and went without a trace, without the slightest sound.

Maybe in the future, when he gets married and goes shopping in Goulan, he is playing there and the princess is sitting next to him, watching him, and he doesn’t even know.

Hiss. It’s a bit scary to think about it this way.

Concentrating his thoughts, Xu Yuan asked with a low smile:

"You came back so soon and found a way out?"

"No."

Li Qingyan shook his head, with a serious look in his eyes: "This seems not to be a cave, but an underground palace."

"Underground palace?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, murmured subconsciously, and immediately asked: "It has been two hours just now. No matter how big this underground palace is, with the strength of your mind and soul, Qingyan, you should be able to find a way out, right?"

Li Qingyan pointed to the inner wall of the cave:

"Prince-in-law, you can use your mind and soul to investigate and you will know."

"."

Xu Yuan extended his concentration, and then his mind and soul came out of the sea of ​​​​consciousness and searched for the surroundings.

The next moment, under Li Qingyan's gaze, Xu Yuan's brows wrinkled little by little.

After running the technique, his eyes will have a certain degree of night vision.

But in today's absolute darkness, this night vision ability will be weakened to the extreme. However, the soul is more like the exploration of infrasound waves in previous lives, which will directly map the surrounding environment in the mind, without being affected by the brightness of light.

But at this moment, when his mind and soul came into contact with the inner wall of the cave, it became weak and powerless as if it had fallen into the realm of stagnation.

And the calm inner wall of the cave was eating away at his mind and soul.

A very subtle feeling.

If he and Su Jinxuan had not been accustomed to the invasion of Charm God Spores during their dual cultivation, Xu Yuan would not have been able to detect it immediately with his innate soul body.
