<h4>Volume 1 Chapter 1216 Poison</h4>


    Without stopping, Kong Yun returned to Beifu and entered Beihua''s room.


    Kong Yun didn''t say anything, nor did Beihua. He sat quietly like this. When he opened his eyes, it was already daytime.


    "Looks like what you experienced yesterday wasn''t small." Kong Yun smiled and didn''t say anything.


    "The Emperor seems to know everything. Not only did I help Nangong Chenming, but he also knows that Nangong Chenming listens to me very well and knows that I''m with you." Hearing these words, the Prime Ministerughed, "After all, this is his empire. How could he not know? If he did not know, then the country would be finished soon."


    Hearing this, Kong Yun was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Prime Minister. "They''re all old fools. They kept me in the dark." Hearing this, the prime minister continued tough, but did not say anything.


    That night, in Nangong Bing''s study, Nangong Chenxin sat quietly beside him, his expression a little uneasy.


    At this moment, a maid walked up with a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand and respectfully served it to Nangong Bing. "Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is here. Drink it quickly." Nangong Bing waved his hand and signaled for the maid to put the ginseng soup on the table. After the maid put it on the table, she left the room.


    Nangong Chenxin looked at the ginseng soup with a nervous expression. Until now, Nangong Chenxin''s influence was the greatest. Although Nangong Chenming had the support of the Elders'' Council and Beihua, it was very difficult for him to fight against Nangong Chenxin. After all, he had managed this ce for so many years, and his influence could be said to be very great. Even his big brother was not his match.


    Nangong Bing looked at the documents quietly. Not long after, he slowly picked up the ginseng soup. Just as he was about to drink it, he looked at Nangong Chenxin and found that his face was a little excited. He did not feel any heartache.


    Seeing this, Nangong Bing was extremely angry. He waved his hand and threw the ginseng soup to the ground. A piercing sound rang out in the ears of the two of them. Nangong Chenxin was shocked. He instantly stood up and saw the ginseng soup on the ground. He shouted, "Someone, someone is framing His Majesty." These words caused the guards to be rmed. They instantly rushed into the study and guarded Nangong Bing''s side.


    Nangong Bing waved his hand and said, "All of you, go down. Chen Xin, stay." When everyone heard this, although they were very puzzled, Nangong Bing had already said it. They could not resist and left the study one after another.


    Nangong Chenxin stood respectfully by the side, his head lowered, not daring to look at Nangong Bing.


    "What''s wrong? Don''t you dare look at me anymore?" Nangong Chenxin''s body trembled. He raised his head slightly and smiled awkwardly. He looked at Nangong Bing in front of him, "How could that be? You are my father''s emperor. How could you not dare to look at you?"


    Nangong Bing snorted, "You still know that I am your father''s emperor." These words left sweat on Nangong Chenxin''s face, and he began to feel nervous.


    "You are really my good son. You actually poisoned me. How should I thank you?" As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Chenxin immediately knelt down and loudly said, "Father Emperor, it wasn''t me who poisoned you. It really wasn''t me. Father Emperor, please investigate."


    Nangong Bing sneered and came to Nangong Chenxin. "Are you so eager for the throne? You even poisoned me."


    "No, this child definitely has no such thoughts. Father Emperor, please investigate." Even though Nangong Chenxin said this, his heart was extremely frightened. His hands were trembling non-stop.


    "I knew it when you bribed my maidservant, but I didn''t eliminate it. I wanted to see what you wanted to do, but I didn''t expect you to harm me." Nangong Bing''s expression was very sad. He was very disappointed with his son''s performance.


    "Royal Father, I didn''t." Until now, the fear on Nangong Chenxin''s face had turned into despair.


    "You are inferior to Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother is a little cowardly, but he knows when to do something. You don''t know that. Furthermore, you are too reckless. Not only this time, but also this time, you killed Nangong Chenming outside the Imperial Pce." Hearing these words, Nangong Chenxin knew that he was no longer destined for the throne, so he didn''t dare to get up on the ground.


    "Do you know why the boss is silent during this period of time? It''s not just because his power is weak, but because he wants to take advantage of the battle between the two of you to find a breakthrough and benefit from it." Hearing this, Nangong Chenxin suddenly raised his head to look at Nangong Bing, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    "Because he knows very well that the chances of him winning with your mother''s help are very small, so he chose to remain silent and find an opportunity to kill you and obtain the throne." Nangong Chenxin didn''t say a word.


    "Perhaps you don''t know that your eldest brother is currently in the process of bing a Divine King. If he seeds, the chances of the two of you winning will be very low." Nangong Chenxin was disheartened. He didn''t know what to say next. This time, he had lost. He had lost very thoroughly.


    "You can cultivate in the pce in the future. Don''t go out if you have nothing else to do." After saying that, he waved his hand and let Nangong Chenxin leave.


    Nangong Chenxin felt extremely ufortable and knew that he hadpletely lost this time. At the same time, what happened here reached the ears of the various powers in the city.


    Nangong Chenming immediately arrived at the Northern Pce, found Kong Yun, and told him about this matter.


    "Do you think I should seize this opportunity to rope in some of Second Brother''s forces? This is a good opportunity." Kong Yun shook his head and smiled, "No, now is not the time. Stay in the pce quietly and don''t do anything. Try not toe here as much as possible, as if this had never happened." Nangong Chenming was puzzled.


    "Also, if you want to rely on your second brother''s forces to find you, don''t agree. No one will ept it. Do you understand?"


    "Why?" Kong Yun smiled and said, "These forces are not united with you. If you want them, they are useless. They are even a scourge." Hearing this, Nangong Chenming opened his mouth wide, "You don''t want to …"


    Kong Yun waved his hand and said, "Even if we don''t kill them, we will slowly expel them from power in the future and let them be ordinary citizens." Clearly, Nangong Chenming did not want to punch Kong Yun to do this.


    Afterwards, Nangong Chenming returned to the imperial pce. ording to Kong Yun, he lived in the pce and did not leave, nor did he dash around the city. The forces that came to visit Nangong Chenming in the Imperial Pce were all blocked outside the door, and Nangong Chenming did not see any of them.


    On the contrary, Big Brother Nangong Chenming started to move, traveling through the various ns and powers to connect with each other.


    Seeing this, Nangong Chenming was a little anxious, but thinking of Kong Yun''s words, he didn''t do anything.


    Shortly after, the emperor used all sorts of reasons to destroy his brother''s strength. Not a single force remained, causing a wave of bloodshed in the six cities.


    This situation caused everyone to feel extremely uneasy. They were extremely careful in everything they did. The Eldest Prince also stopped, feeling a little panicked in his heart.


    "What did you say Royal Father was doing? Could it be that I''m doing something wrong?" "The emperor is in his prime. He doesn''t want a prince to seed at this time. He doesn''t want the various powers in the city to form factions. This is unstable for the empire." Hearing this, the eldest prince was stunned. "Father, you are trying to set an example."


    The man nodded and did not continue.


    One night, Kong Yun and the Prime Minister arrived at the pce and saw Nangong Bing.


    "Little fellow, you are very smart. You know when to do something and what not to do. It was your idea for Nangong Chenming to be so quiet, right?" Kong Yun smiled and didn''t say anything. The Prime Minister looked at Kong Yun with surprise in his eyes. Even he hadn''t thought of this before the Emperor took action.


    "Then why did His Majesty call me here this time?" Nangong Bing smiled, "I want to hear your opinion. Which is better, boss or fourth, to be the emperor?"


    Kong Yun''s lips curled into a smile. "This is your housework. I shouldn''t have interfered with it, but what I want to tell you is that the fourth prince is more suitable than the eldest prince." Kong Yun''s words made the Prime Minister a little scared. Just as he was about to say something, the White Emperor stopped him.


    "You''re really impolite."


    "I''m telling the truth. I believe that the person the emperor chose in his heart is also the fourth prince. He just wants me to say it out loud." Nangong Bing nodded.


    Kong Yun had rarely heard of the First Prince in the city, but from the information in the Cloudsoaring Pavilion, the First Prince was focused on cultivation and was not good at managing the country. Inparison, the Fourth Prince was much better at it.


    "With Fourth Brother''s current strength, he is no match for him. If he forcefully pushes Fourth Brother forward, it will cause chaos in the court." The Prime Minister nodded slightly. This was also what he was worried about.


    "Leave this matter to me and the Prime Minister. Just do what you want. Whoever doesn''t ept it, just kill him." As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Bing and Beihua looked at Kong Yun at the same time, their eyes filled with disbelief.


    Nangong Bing then smiled, "The method you mentioned is the simplest, but it will affect the stability of the Purple Cloud Empire."


    "As an emperor, you should know very well that the Purple Cloud Empire is not as stable as it seems. If anything happens, even if the Purple Cloud Empire is not defeated by the enemy, it will slowly copse from within."


    This was also Nangong Bing''s biggest headache. He had tried all sorts of methods, but none of them had seeded.


    "Then let''s give it a try." After that, the three of them discussed for a long time in the study. No one knew what they were discussing, not even the Fourth Prince.


    The next morning, a huge piece of news spread throughout the city. Emperor Nangong Bing personally announced that he would make the fourth prince, Nangong Chenming, his sessor in three days and inherit the next throne.


    This news was like a bomb that suddenly exploded in Purple Cloud City, causing everyone to be shocked. Some people were still in a daze, not knowing why the Emperor gave such an order.
