Zhuo Tianning used to give people the impression of being arrogant, but with a broken arm and a blind eye, all his arrogance was gone. Now all that can be seen from him is gloom.

Shangguan Youlan was so angry, but he was not angry. He just said in a cold voice: "Believe it or not, princess, if you don't agree, you will be kicked out of the court today by those people."

Those old ministers had long wanted to drive Shangguan Youlan out, but because she was now Donglin's only bloodline, there was not enough reason not to take action.

However, if Shangguan Youlan actually prevents them from finding a new heir to the throne, then this reason is definitely enough.

Therefore, when Shangguan Youlan agreed to their proposal, there was clearly a trace of regret in the eyes of those veterans.

What if Shangguan Youlan persists? Then they can unite and drive her away in one fell swoop. Not only that, but they can also restrict her power and freedom so that she never has a chance to speak out in Donglin.

After hearing such an obvious thing, Shangguan Youlan said intuitively: "Impossible! Don't you have soldiers?"

In her mind, she still has not accepted Zhuo Tianning's decline in prestige in the army.

What she had always thought was that if these old ministers dared to go against her again, she would directly defeat them with troops.

If this matter had been done before, although it would have been risky, it was not impossible. After all, Zhuo Tianning had almost everything in the army.

But now, as Zhuo Tianning's prestige has declined, those veterans and the previously marginalized generals in the army have become active. Some of them have even colluded together, and have a vague tendency to fight against Zhuo Tianning.

Because of this matter, Zhuo Tianning has been very busy, but Shangguan Youlan is lucky, she doesn't know about it at all, and even accuses him of using the army to pull off the tiger's skin for her.

What troubles Zhuo Tianning even more is that there doesn't seem to be anything simple behind these collusions, there are people vaguely making suggestions and matchmaking for them.

If Zhuo Tianning guessed correctly, this must be Xiao Jinglan's handiwork.

Xiao Jinglan is used to doing this kind of thing. He did it once before when the grassland throne changed. As a result, Tuoba Lie still hasn't been able to completely eradicate his brother Tuoba Lie's influence. From time to time, the group

Jump out and cause trouble for Tuoba Lie.

And the current Donglin is not much different from the grassland at that time.

It's just that he didn't plan to tell Shangguan Youlan these things, because with Shangguan Youlan's temperament, even if he told her, she wouldn't understand.

Suppressing the irritation in his heart, Zhuo Tianning said coldly: "The princess also knows what happened to me. Does the princess think that I am still as good at controlling the army as before?"

Shangguan Youlan subconsciously looked towards Zhuo Tianning.

The first thing that caught her sight was the black scarf covering half of Zhuo Tianning's eyes.

Then moving his eyes downward, he saw the empty half sleeve.

Shangguan Youlan took a breath.

That's right, Zhuo Tianning is no longer the youthful and undefeated general he was when her mother was alive.

He failed, and he failed miserably.

And that ballad...

He is now in the army and has long been no longer the spiritual idol of those people. Maybe... he is just a joke.

As she thought this, there was a look of contempt in her eyes.

Zhuo Tianning felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He is a person who thinks very highly of himself. He always thought that even Xiao Jinglan could not compare with him, but in the end, he was severely slapped by reality.

If someone had looked at him like this, he would have killed that person with a sword.

But the person opposite was Shangguan Youlan, the Queen's daughter, so he could only endure it.

"A mutilated body is not suitable for the princess to see. It's better for the princess to stop looking at it." He said while holding back his anger.

At this time, Shangguan Youlan also realized that her gaze seemed to displease Zhuo Tianning.

This is her most important ally and must not be lost.

And now, the matter of those veterans looking for the heir to the throne is even more important.

If they were to find her, then she, the princess, would really be nothing more than a decoration.

Maybe, these old immortals will find someone to marry her off.

She gathered her thoughts and asked anxiously: "What should we do now? Is it possible that we really let them go find those bastards at Shiyuan Peak?"

Shangguan Youlan gets angry when she thinks of Shiyuan Peak.

Sooner or later, she must kill all the people in Shiyuan Peak!

Let's see who dares to bypass her, the orthodox royal family.

Zhuo Tianning narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly: "What's wrong with letting them find it? We just need to let them find it."

Shangguan Youlan was startled and said: "What do you mean?"

Zhuo Tianning didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and raised his palm downwards.

Shangguan Youlan understood instantly.

That's right, why do we have to wait until a certain day to kill those people at Shiyuan Peak?

Wouldn’t it work now?

"Come here!" Shangguan Youlan shouted.

In an instant, a figure appeared in front of her silently.

This person is the last strength that Feng Anran left to Shangguan Youlan.

The guards around Feng Anran are called Silver Dragon Guards.

This name was given by Feng Anran herself, because Feng Xiran's bodyguard was called Silver Fish Guard, and she felt that she was of a nobler bloodline than Feng Xiran and was a person who leaped over the dragon gate, so she named the guards around her.

His name is Silver Dragon Guard, and his purpose is to crush Feng Xiran.

And this secret power is called Dragon Shadow Guard, which means the shadow of the Silver Dragon Guard, and it is dedicated to doing those shady things for her.

Zhuo Tianning also knew about the Long Shadow Guard, so Shangguan Youlan didn't avoid him and called him out directly.

The leader, Long Ying, knelt down on one knee in front of Shangguan Youlan. Shangguan Youlan said in a ferocious voice: "Send a few people to Shiyuan Peak and kill everyone there! Remember, you must hurry up before

Before those old immortals arrive!"

Zhuo Tianning's army is a force on the surface, and if it moves, someone will notice it, so it can only fight these secret forces.

After Long Ying finished listening, he didn't say a word. He just saluted Shangguan Youlan and left again.

After he left, Zhuo Tianning spoke again: "It's not enough for us to just kill the people at Shiyuan Peak, we have to find a way to take back the power in our hands."

Hearing this, Shangguan Youlan immediately said anxiously: "Do you think I don't want to do it? But how can this matter be so easy?"

Those old ministers all came from the Donglin family, and they were all as cunning as foxes. On the surface, they showed great respect to Shangguan Youlan, but in fact they held on to their power tightly and did not leak even a bit. Shangguan Youlan was

I want to do something, but I am powerless.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about her actions in this palace. Except in her own bedroom and study, she can still have some privacy and freedom. In other places, she is almost always stared at.

For her to sit in this position of prison is not much different from going to jail.

Zhuo Tianning was naturally aware of this situation, and he had already come up with countermeasures.

"The current plan is to get back the power on our own, but I'm afraid it won't work. However, we can find helpers."

"helper?"

Shangguan Youlan looked at Zhuo Tianning in confusion, why didn't she remember that they had helpers?

Could it be that her mother left something behind?

Zhuo Tianning took a step forward and whispered: "If I remember correctly, before I went to find the princess, the princess seemed to have another partner?"

Shangguan Youlan thought for a moment and blurted out: "Wujin?"

Zhuo Tianning nodded.

Shangguan Youlan said immediately: "What use can he be? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in this situation."

The reason why she hit rock bottom was because Wu Jin failed to assassinate Shangguan Xiuruo and instead exposed the poison in his body.

If not, she would have been able to hide from Emperor Donglin for a while.

Maybe, she could pretend to comfort Emperor Donglin and act like a loving father and daughter, so that Emperor Donglin could directly pass the throne to her.

In her eyes, Wu Jin was simply a fool who failed to achieve anything but failed. Now that Zhuo Tianning mentioned him again, how could Shangguan Youlan look so good?

She said angrily: "That idiot in Wujin still wants to borrow troops from me! It's ridiculous. He brought this princess to this point. It's only right that I would lend him my troops!"

"Princess wants to borrow." Zhuo Tianning interrupted her and said: "Not only do you want to borrow, but you also need to borrow more. No matter what Wu Jin's request is, the princess had better be able to satisfy him."

"Why?" Shangguan Youlan said immediately: "Lending troops to that idiot so that he can harm me again?"

Zhuo Tianning's eyes flickered several times. Is Shangguan Youlan really the Queen's daughter?

Why would you be so stupid?

However, he could only patiently explain it to her.

"Princess, do you know what Wu Jin's true identity is?"

Shangguan Youlan looked at Zhuo Tianning coldly.

Wu Jin? Isn’t he just a charlatan? What other identity can he have?

Zhuo Tianning said: "Wu Jin's identity has a lot of background. Does the princess know about the dispute between Jin and Yu in South Vietnam twelve years ago?"

That incident is quite famous in Tianlan Continent.

The King of Nanyue was fatuous and cowardly, and had a lusty nature. He kept many beauties in the palace.

With more people, there will naturally be more fights. After many fights, only the second concubine Jin Yu was left.

Concubine Jin’s name is Su Lanjin, and she is from the Su family in Shanyang. Concubine Yu’s name is Hua Qingyu, and she is from the Hua family in Shanyin.

The two of them were both beautiful and powerful in their families. They were on par with each other and would compete for everything. They even got pregnant at about the same time and gave birth to a prince on the same day.

Among them, Concubine Jin was born in the morning and was He Lanjiu. Concubine Yu was born in the afternoon and was He Lanrui.

When the two princes were young, things were fine, but as they grew older and became heirs, the fight became fierce.

Whether it was the second concubine Jin Yu in the harem or the Su Hua family in the court, they were all fighting fiercely, and they all wanted the King of Nanyue to make their prince the crown prince.
