The deployment of the capital was basically completed, and the effect was better than expected. However, the prince's reaction was not slow. He fell ill at the right time and was bedridden. Naturally, he was unable to go to court. He avoided the attack of the third prince Yan Shuo and waited for the opportunity.

Make a comeback.

Yan Shuo had no other choice but to write another letter to Jiuding asking for help. Recently, he was in the limelight. He successfully solved several state affairs one after another, and perfectly delivered the military rations and the food shortage in the capital. The emperor changed his previous indifference towards him.

, he did not forget to call Yan Shuo to his side every day when he was working in the royal study, so that he could discuss at any time. This honor, which was originally the prince's, was taken away by Yan Shuo today.

As a result, Yan Shuo's pressure increased sharply. He accompanied the emperor like a tiger. He had to be extremely careful every day to respond to every inquiry from the emperor. His foundation was not stable, and the staff behind him was not as good as that of the prince.

Although he is powerful, he is not as good at observing faces as the prince, and he habitually predicts the emperor's every move.

Being favored is a blessing, but unfortunately Yan Shuo is not strong enough, and Yan Shuo feels that he cannot afford such a blessing.

He had no choice but to beg Yan Xi again with a calm face, and euphemistically expressed his desire to get closer to His Highness the Seventh Prince in a letter to Jiuding. Yan Shuo was no longer satisfied with playing with Yan Xi across a mountain from Jiuding.

Niu, he eagerly hopes to draw this capable brother into his own camp and add a huge boost to the road to seize the throne.[

Yan Xi did not comment on this. He still solved the problems raised by Yan Shuo through Jiuding as usual, but he ignored the gesture of goodwill.

Jiuding could not guess his master's thoughts, so he cautiously replied to the letter for the third prince Yan Shuo. As for the matter of connecting him with Yan Xi, Jiuding followed Yan Xi's wishes and was vague, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

It was so confusing that when the third prince saw the reply, he scratched his head anxiously but could not do anything.

...

Jiuding's sneak attack intensified the conflict, and the Five Nations Alliance once again gathered together to discuss sending troops.

The sneak attack is an obvious signal to both sides. Yan Xi is tired of playing the confrontation game. Since he has taken some actions in recent days.

The real war finally began after the two sides had been separated by a wall for more than half a year.
