"Second brother!" A girl in her early twenties just stepped out of the hall gate and looked up at Wei Hechu. She was stunned at first, then immediately walked down the steps with her skirt and held Wei Hechu's waist and looked up and down. "I heard from my father that you are in the Imperial City. How are you? Are you injured?!" The girl is named Wei Ling'er. Apart from the two brothers above, Wei Ling'er, as the third heir, has a lively and lovely face, and is also the pearl in the old emperor's hand.

Everyone loves this three princess very much, but in this palace, except for the father, mother and younger brother, he only cares about He Chu, the brother.

"Be good, I'm fine~" Wei He Chuyi used to touch Ling'er and smiled and said that he was fine.

"The Father must be very happy to see you return safely! Let's go and see your father!"

Wei Ling'er wiped away the tears from her face. She held Wei Hechu's arm with her backhand and looked very happy. You know, when He Chu left Yang Cheng, Wei Ling'er felt nervous. When the spy heard the news, she was so panicked. She couldn't help laughing at him. Fortunately, the second brother was back...

"Father! Second brother is back!" Wei Ling'er held He Chu's hand until she passed the corridor of the hall before she let go. She jumped over the threshold of the hall door and ran in. She stood in the Tai Sui chair and crossed her hands and held her chest flat, squatting slightly and saluted, "Father."

The ruler of Yang Cheng was sitting on the Tai Sui chair and Eunuch Chen stood next to the Tai Sui chair.

When the emperor saw Wei Ling'er coming in, he lowered his head and looked quietly at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup in his hand without making any sound until Wei Hechu walked in. The old emperor took a deep breath and threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground. Suddenly, tea water splashed all over the ground, "No small matter can be done!" His face was full of breath and turned red.

"His Majesty calm down..." Eunuch Chen hurriedly asked the people outside the door to come in and deal with the remaining water and slags on the ground.

"How can my father blame my second brother? Second brother..." Ling'er stood aside and was frightened. Her voice became weaker and weaker. She didn't expect her father to be so angry.

Before Wei Ling'er finished speaking, the old emperor said, "I actually exchanged Longjing for Taiping Monkey Kui! What a courageous one!!"

I don’t know which new slave who didn’t know how to live or die replaced his father’s tea. Ling’er breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, “Fortunately, the father was angry about this matter…

Wei Hechu stood aside. Compared with Ling'er, his face was as quiet as a dead person. He stood aside and did not move or speak. This time, the assassination that had been planned for nearly half a year failed overnight. He had long seen through the man's thoughts.

"You go down," the old emperor changed his attitude just now and said to Wei Ling'er by 180 degrees, "I want to talk to your second brother."

"I know." Wei Ling'er smiled cleverly and leaned into the old emperor's ear and said, "Father and second brother, you are not in good health, don't be angry." Seeing the old emperor nodding with a smile, Ling'er jumped out.

The door creaked and closed, and the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.

With a 'bang!', the porcelain quilt on the table vibrated with a sound, and the old emperor's face became stern again.

"Your elder brother Wei Yu Ran, you can become a tee in a war at the age of sixteen. What about you?! I don't know what to do all day!" The old emperor became more and more angry. "This time, not only was the entire army wiped out, but you almost exposed our people!"

"I can't understand what my father said." Wei Hechu still had a stiff face without any expression, and even spoke very coldly.

After hearing this, the old emperor stood up, put his hands behind his back, slowly walked behind He Chu and sneered.

"Don't think you can hide what you are doing in the temple," he said in a low voice to Wei Hechu's ear, "Do you think I don't know? Do you think I only arranged for the people you know to go to the Imperial City with you?"

"The people I sent were back long before you came back..." His tone of yin and yang rising and falling sounded creepy.

Unexpectedly, he distrusts himself so much and sent someone to monitor him. If he hadn't let him leave at that time, there would have been some rumors in today's city that he betrayed Yang Cheng.

Humph, He Chu thought in his heart, would he still care about himself? In his heart, he was just a pawn, and what he cared about was nothing more than the news exchanged for their lives.

"The child was seriously injured that day, but fortunately he was rescued by a kind-hearted person. He worried his father." When he said this, he looked ahead and stood straight in place without any unnecessary movement.

The old emperor sat down again, his tone slightly calmer, "Tell me, what's going on this time?"

Sure enough, the old emperor's thoughts could not escape Wei Hechu's eyes at all.

"Although our assassination mission failed this time, we saw that the people were well-off and the people lived in harmony. Even the palace had already established a new emperor. The imperial city had a superior geographical advantage, and now it is a good place for people to be harmonious. The child believes that attacking the imperial system is not a good time at this time."

"I thought Shen Zitian would definitely not be able to adjust for a while when he ascended the throne in his youth, but he didn't expect that Shen Zitian would have such a meticulous mindset and deal with it in such a way..."

"The child thinks that although the Yucheng is rich in resources and superior in geography, Yangcheng is also excellent. Now there is a far distance between Yucheng and Yangcheng and there is a tree of Yanghe. It is really not worth our time to mobilize troops to attack Yu."

Wei Hechu never thought of plundering other countries' land by fighting, but he could also see that the old emperor had a great ambition. Now that he is old, if he does not attack the Imperial City, he will be destined to bring this wish to the grave.

"I want you to stay in the Imperial City. In three days, I will stay there no matter what method you use. Be my eyes in the Imperial City and stare at Shen Zitian's every move in the city!"

"Boy obeys the order."

After walking out of the palace, Wei Hechu lowered his head and thought about his thoughts. If it were another prince, he would have refused, but he could not. As an adopted son who was not known to others by others, "Ha, a chess piece is a chess piece..."

"Second brother!" Wei Hechu raised his head and saw Wei Linger waiting by the side for a long time, his eyes gradually blurred.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Ling'er saw that his face was not very good, and he looked very tired and weak.

"Ling'er..." Before he could say anything, Wei Hechu was weak and fell stiffly on Wei Ling'er's shoulders.
