Xiao Zhonghua said coldly, “Do you want me to rebel?”

MO Guiyuan smiled and said, “Doesn’t Your Highness want to sit on the throne? Or does Your Highness think that as long as you work hard enough, you can successfully ascend the throne? I don’t have to remind Your Highness how biased your father is, right?”

Xiao Zhonghua’s eyes flickered as he calmly asked, “Your vault is gone, and the Medicine Master is dead. What bargaining chip do you have to help me ascend the throne?”

MO Guiyuan was not embarrassed at all.

He smiled wantonly and gestured at Slave Xiu.

Slave Xiu opened the bag he carried with him and took out a brocade box.

MO Guiyuan smiled meaningfully and said, “Your Highness, please take a look.” Jing Yi opened the brocade box.

When Xiao Zhonghua saw what was in the box, his expression instantly changed.

It was a bright yellow imperial edict!

Xiao Zhonghua planned to pick up the imperial edict to see what was written on it, but Slave Xiu moved his hand and grabbed the box.

Jing Yi frowned and pulled out his sword.

“Jing Yi.” Xiao Zhonghua stopped him and stared at MO Guiyuan with a burning gaze. “Sect Master MO, what do you mean by this?”

“Of course, it’s my sincerity,” MO Guiyuan said with a faint smile. “Before the late emperor passed away, he left an imperial edict and established a new king, and that new king is not the father of the Third Prince.”

Xiao Zhonghua’s expression did not change. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”

MO Guiyuan looked up and smiled. “Your Highness, you can take a gamble. Once I make this imperial edict public, Your Highness should understand the consequences, right?”

Xiao Zhonghua’s eyes turned cold. “Are you threatening me?”

MO Guiyuan smiled and said, “I’m negotiating sincerely with the Third Prince so the Third Prince can consider the pros and cons.”

Xiao Zhonghua mocked, “You make threats and promises sound so dignified. Sect Master MO is indeed someone who can preach with his mouth. You don’t even dare to show me the contents of the imperial edict. How can I believe you?”

MO Guiyuan said seriously, “I can guarantee you that the contents of the imperial edict are true.”

Xiao Zhonghua said word by word, “I don’t believe you.”

MO Guiyuan’s smile faded. “It seems that the Third Prince doesn’t want to negotiate.”

Xiao Zhonghua said neither servile nor overbearing, “The peace talks between the Imperial Court and the White Lotus Society are not at the mercy of the White Lotus Society. I will report everything you say to me today to my father truthfully.”

MO Guiyuan looked at Xiao Zhonghua deeply. “Your Highness, you’re narrowing your path. Your brother is still in my hands. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to absolve yourself of the blame if anything happens to him?”

Xiao Zhonghua said calmly, “Sect Master MO, why didn’t you ask where General Leng went?”

MO Guiyuan paused.

Xiao Zhonghua returned a meaningful look. “Sect Master MO, are you trying to say that the people of the Imperial Court can’t find the place where you imprisoned the hostages? Actually, Sect Master MO can also take a gamble. Once my brother is saved, the Imperial Court will never negotiate with the White Lotus Society again. I advise Sect Master MO to draw up a contract with the Imperial Court as soon as possible before my brother arrives at the palace so that he can save his life.”

“They’re fighting! They’re fighting! They’re fighting!” The cries of the five tigers came from outside the house.

MO Guiyuan strode out.

In the courtyard, the Old Marquis and the First Elder fought.

“That’s my parrot!” the Great Elder said coldly.

“Nonsense!” the Old Marquis said bluntly.

The Great Elder gritted his teeth and was about to use his qinggong to catch the Wuhu when the Old Marquis grabbed his ankle and pulled him down ruthlessly.

The two of them fought fiercely over a parrot.

MO Guiyuan shouted, “Stop!”

The Great Elder stopped unwillingly.

“If we can’t do it openly, we’ll do it in the dark,” Xiao Zhonghua said. “Steal the imperial edict back.”

Jing Yi asked strangely, “Didn’t Cousin say that the imperial edict was fake?”

Xiao Zhonghua sighed. “The imperial edict in the box is fake, but I’m afraid… MO Guiyuan does have a real imperial edict.”

If MO Guiyuan flew into a rage out of humiliation and killed him, it would mean that MO Guiyuan was at his wits’ end.

However, MO Guiyuan left just like that, which meant that he still had a true trump card—the previous emperor’s imperial edict.

Jing Yi asked, “If the previous emperor didn’t appoint His Majesty as the emperor, who did he appoint?”

Xiao Zhonghua narrowed his eyes and said, “King Nanyang.”

After MO Guiyuan left the courtyard, he instructed the First Elder, “Move the hostages.”

The Great Elder asked in confusion, “Sect Master, why did you suddenly move the hostages? Could it be that… we’ve been discovered? That shouldn’t be…”

MO Guiyuan did not explain. “Anyway, let’s move them first.”

“Yes,” the First Elder agreed and immediately brought people to the secret room where Xiao Duye and Leng Rui were imprisoned.

Leng Tiannan, who was hiding in the dark, walked out and said to Leng Zhiruo and the two deputy generals, “Follow!”

On the other side, the Old Marquis and Wei Ting were also preparing to set off.

The Old Marquis looked at Wei Ting, who was ready to leave, and asked with a complicated expression, “Are you sure you want to do this? After all, he’s you…”

“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. I still can’t forget that my grandfather’s head and corpse were hung on the city tower. I took them off and stitched them up one by one. The corpse was frozen into ice and broke many needles, but I can’t wait for them to melt completely, because it will immediately rot and can’t be stitched up again.”

He told all of this calmly.

The young man in the past knelt in the snow with the frozen corpse and head. He had already cried till his tears were dry for the rest of his life.

“I’ve fought Slave Xiu. Slave Xiu seems to have recovered, but he’s actually still a little short. If you want to kill MO Guiyuan, now is the best time!” The Old Marquis said seriously, “Alright! I’ll take MO Guiyuan’s life tonight!”
