"Speak, what's going on."

Qiao Yu sat on the ground, quietly watching the Third Prince.

The Third Prince's face still held a smile, his eyes still a little dazed, obviously he hadn't recovered from the torture just now.

His Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down, and he said with some fear.

"Come with me."

The Third Prince got up and walked towards the backyard, Qiao Yu and the others followed closely behind.

When the Third Prince pushed open the backyard door, a large group of stunning women in revealing clothes were playing and frolicking. Everywhere was covered with snow-white thighs, and the entire backyard was filled with the sounds of warbling orioles and swallows. Qiao Yu and the others almost stared straight ahead.

When they saw the arrival of the Third Prince, they quickly knelt down, revealing the deep wounds on their chests.

"This humble servant greets the Third Prince."

The voices were uniform, with an appearance of being at the mercy of the prince, which showed how extravagant the Third Prince's life usually was.

"Tsk tsk, Third Brother, no wonder people say, when poor, observe their form; when rich, practice their way. Looking at this, you usually haven't practiced your way less, huh!" Yang Xiangdi couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Pfft!"

Ma Fei spat directly upon hearing this. Is your 'way' even proper?

"Big Brother, what are you talking about? What 'practicing my way'?" The Third Prince looked puzzled.

Qiao Yu's expression also became very strange.

Yang Xiangdi was already speeding on the highway, but this Third Prince was still stuck in the *Macarena*.

"It's nothing, I'm just saying your kidneys are good, and they'll definitely sell for a good price if they're cut out." Yang Xiangdi didn't explain.

The Third Prince was still confused, but his attention wasn't on this right now.

"You may all leave!"

He first dismissed the women, and then led Qiao Yu and the others towards the depths of the backyard.

Just as Qiao Yu and the others were wondering what the Third Prince wanted to do, the Third Prince suddenly knelt down with a *plop*.

"Fourth Brother! There were too many people outside just now, and it wasn't convenient to talk. Third Brother was wrong, Third Brother is kneeling to you!"

Qiao Yu: "..."

"That time, Third Brother was out of his mind to put you, drunk, into the Empress's bathtub. Forgive Third Brother this time!"

The Third Prince cried bitterly, looking sincerely repentant.

Qiao Yu retreated repeatedly with a look of disgust. He had to retreat, the Third Prince's snot was about to smear on him.

"Sniff up your snot, sniff up your snot! Don't come near me!"

"Explain this matter clearly to Father, restore my position as Crown Prince, and this matter will be over."

"Really?! You forgive Third Brother?"

The Third Prince rushed up and hugged Qiao Yu.

"Third Brother, you're too good! Wuwuwu! It's Third Brother who's sorry to you, our brothers will definitely be as close as brothers from now on!"

The Third Prince was crying and sniveling as he said this, but his eyes were full of cold light.

"Alright, alright, alright! Get lost!"

Qiao Yu waved his hand in disgust. If he wasn't worried about Consort Yang being sad, where would Qiao Yu find this so troublesome?

He would just carry the Third Prince's head to see the Emperor, and ask the Emperor for the position of Crown Prince while holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and that would be the end of it.

"Then how about this, tomorrow happens to be the day Father goes out hunting! I'll confess in front of all the civil and military officials at that time, how about it?" The Third Prince cupped his hands in salute.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Qiao Yu was too lazy to say more, and turned around to leave with Yang Xiangdi.

"Brother Yu, that Third Prince is probably going to cause trouble."

On the way back, Yang Xiangdi couldn't help but remind him.

"It's okay, just kill him if it comes to that." Qiao Yu didn't take it to heart at all.

"That's true, I really want to use an Earth Explosion here, I haven't bombed a palace yet, hehe." Yang Xiangdi smiled embarrassedly.

"By the way, what's going on with the witchcraft you were talking about just now?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Sigh!"

Yang Xiangdi shrugged.

"It's just that the country that's going to invade the Scarlet Flame Kingdom is called the Great Witch Kingdom. There are many witches in that country who know witchcraft. They can summon wind and rain, and control lightning. Their methods are a bit like elemental mages."

"So the Scarlet Flame Kingdom has a policy of exterminating anyone who knows witchcraft. Last time I used Sand Binding when I entered this dungeon, and I was regarded as a witch. A large team of Imperial Guards chased me for eight hundred *li*."

Qiao Yu nodded. Spells? What does this kind of thing have to do with Qiao Yu? No need to panic.

Ma Fei couldn't help but add.

"Based on the experience that Yang Xiangdi and I had last time, the Great Witch Kingdom will assassinate the Emperor at the hunting grounds tomorrow."

"After the Emperor croaks, the four princes will stage a battle for the throne, and the Scarlet Flame Kingdom will be torn apart by civil war. The Great Witch Kingdom will take advantage of the situation and launch an invasion."

"So last time, Yang Xiangdi and I were almost facing the national power of the Great Witch Kingdom with just the two of us, and there was no way to fight."

Ma Fei's face showed worry, and then he laughed.

"But this time, the three of us have become princes, so we don't have to worry about the situation like last time. It's no big deal if the Emperor dies."

"Hehe!"

Yang Xiangdi also laughed, his face full of anticipation.

"That's great, when I ascend the throne and become the Emperor, I'll make you guys crown princes!"

Qiao Yu, Ma Fei: "..."

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled sounds came from the depths of the inner palace, and then the Great Prince of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom had two more panda eyes.

Early the next morning, Qiao Yu rode a horse to the hunting grounds. A large group of people had already been here preparing.

The leader riding a horse was Emperor Kang Shunzheng. Ma Fei, Yang Xiangdi, and the Third Prince were also on the list.

This hunting ground has beautiful water and lush grass, and has many exotic animals. It is a hunting ground exclusively for the Huang family of the Scarlet Flame Kingdom, and civilians have no chance to enter.

Emperor Kang Shunzheng raised his eyes and found that the person who came was the Fourth Prince Qiao Yu, and snorted coldly, ignoring him.

Apparently, this old emperor was still sulking about what happened yesterday.

Consort Yang, on the other hand, showed a loving smile to Qiao Yu.

"This son greets the Mother Empress!"

Qiao Yu took the initiative to dismount and saluted Consort Yang, but ignored the emperor on the side. The emperor's face instantly darkened.

"Oh! My son, didn't you just wake up yesterday? Why don't you rest for a few more days?" Consort Yang's haggard face was full of concern for Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu was a little uncomfortable, after all, he was just a player, not the real Fourth Prince, but he still opened his mouth and said softly.

"Thank you for your concern, Mother Empress. This son's body is no longer in serious condition."

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!" Consort Yang's face showed a smile.

It was clearly a warm picture of a loving mother and a filial son, but at this moment, an abrupt voice rang out.

"Fourth Prince, you didn't pay your respects to His Majesty first, but you paid your respects to Consort Yang first. Does that mean that in your heart, Consort Yang's status is higher than His Majesty's?"

The person who spoke was very vicious, and directly put a big hat of disrespect for the monarch on Qiao Yu's head.

Only then did Qiao Yu realize that Emperor Kang Shunzheng was also followed by a beautiful woman in a golden phoenix-colored dress.

Since she was not riding a horse, Qiao Yu did not notice her at first.

The only person who can wear a phoenix dress in a country is the Empress.

"No, my son doesn't mean that, he's just confused for a moment..." Consort Yang looked frightened, and was about to explain when Qiao Yu stopped her.

Qiao Yu walked forward, looked at the Empress, and said with some doubt.

"Huh? Who are you? How come everyone else is riding a horse, but you're not? Where's your horse? Did you lose your horse?"
