After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, “Is he qualified enough?!”‘

“Enough!” The Crown Prince smiled even more happily.

“If Grand Secretary Cui and He Wenxuan were to know that they’ve given their qualifications to help Qing Lin get promoted, their expressions would be very interesting. No, the appointment document from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would be sent to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets in a day or two and then handed over to his father. At that time, he would know what their expressions were.”

Qing ‘Er understood. Zhang Ronghua had shown great potential. No wonder His Highness would try to rope him in at all costs.

He pondered for a moment and thought about Zhang Ronghua’s interpersonal relationships, but he still couldn’t guess who it was. He shook his head and said truthfully, “This servant can’t guess!”

The Crown Prince finished the remaining Ginseng Fruit in his hand and threw the core into the trash can. He stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, “I can’t think of anyone who helped Pei Caicai. I feel like there’s some connection between the two.”

“Why don’t we find a chance to ask him?”

The Crown Prince shook his head. Qing er understood. This matter was still kept a secret. Before it was decided, even if it was a 90% certainty, as long as the appointment documents weren’t issued, there was a possibility that something unexpected might happen.

If Zhang Ronghua wanted to tell them, he would naturally tell them. He would probably think the same as they did. He would only inform His Highness after the dust settled and the matter was set in stone.

The Crown Prince yawned. He had gone to court in the morning, studied government affairs, and was a guest at the Grand Tutor’s Residence. After a day, he was already tired. He instructed,”l’ll rest for a while.”

Lying on the soft mattress, Qing ‘Er got up and covered him with a blanket. Then, she tidied up the corner of his back so that he wouldn’t be exposed to the wind.

Before she could sit down, something happened.

On the silent road, a black fog rose without warning, blocking their vision. It enveloped the chariot and the Flood Dragon Guards. It was as dark as ink, and they could not see each other even if they were close by.

A thick demonic aura rushed out, emitting a supreme might as it whistled. It made the surrounding air feel as if it had fallen into a cold cave. The entire body was cold, and a bloodthirsty and murderous atmosphere spread and swept over.

Seeing this, the leader Sima reacted quickly and ordered loudly, “Set up the Myriad Sword Formation!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The 500 Flood Dragon Guards quickly moved. They drew their Flood Dragon

Swords and set up a sword formation according to the position of the Universal Sword Formation. They merged their strength into the sword formation and increased their strength by 12 times.

The sword formation rotated and protected the carriage. It formed a terrifying sword qi that dispersed the surrounding black fog, leaving only a little light.

In the darkness.

The demons hiding in the surroundings did not expect the Dragon Guards to have such a powerful sword array. It could even block their innate divine powers and break a corner of it without being corroded.

However, this was far from enough.

There was no nonsense. Assassinating the Crown Prince was a matter of great

importance. They had to complete it in the shortest and fastest time before leaving. Otherwise, if they were delayed for too long, the ones who would die would be them!

The demons that were hiding in the dark rushed up like a swarm of bees. There were a total of ten of them. As soon as they appeared, they transformed into their true forms. They were all flood dragons of the fire attribute. Their cultivation levels were different. The lowest was in the grandmaster realm. With their powerful physical bodies and terrifying innate abilities, they fought against the Universal Sword Formation.

Although they were few in number, their cultivation was terrifying. No matter how the Flood Dragon Guards tried to resist, they were still far behind.

In the carriage.

The Crown Prince, who had just laid down, immediately sat up on the soft couch after hearing the commotion outside. Qing ‘er went forward and draped a coat over him.

Through the curtain, he watched the battle outside. Facing the ten powerful fire flood dragons, even though the Dragon Guards were elites and had the help of the Universal Sword Formation, they had not grown up yet. They were still far from the giants like the True Dragon Palace. They had reached their limits and were about to be defeated.

A cold light flashed in his eyes as he shot out two killing intents. He was calm and composed as he speculated who wanted to kill him. He still dared to return to the Eastern Palace. Could it be that he didn’t know how serious the consequences would be if this matter was exposed?

He pondered for a while!

He couldn’t figure it out. There were many enemies. Once he fell, too many people would benefit. First, it would be the princes. If they fought for the position of the Crown Prince, everyone would have the chance to become the next him. Second, it would be his political enemies. If he fell, his ruling philosophy would stop here. A new Crown Prince would take over, and it would be a new set of executive philosophy. The room for manipulation would be far greater than now.

But this was a bad move!

Once they were exposed, they would become a rat on the street and become the target of everyone’s shouting and killing. Even the heavens would not be able to protect them, and even their own people would be disgusted. They were not forced into a dead end, so they would not break the rules and cause trouble for themselves!

Except for them.

The Crown Princess could not figure out if the two wanted her life on the ground, and they had even used the hands of the fiendish demons. It was even the more powerful fire wyrm among the fiendish demons. It seemed like they were from the same race.

“How dare they try to assassinate you so brazenly!” Qing ‘Er said angrily. This servant will call for help now.”

The Crown Prince shook his head.”There’s still some distance from here to the Eastern Palace. The patrolling soldiers have just passed by. Even if we call them over, the battle will be over.”

“As long as this servant is still breathing, no demon can harm you!”

“Continue watching!”

Looking at the Crown Prince’s confident eyes, Qing ‘er’s slightly flustered heart suddenly calmed down. Since His Highness said so, he must have a backup plan.

As the battle became more and more intense, countless sword qi shot out from the Myriad Sword Formation and collided with the fire wyrm’s body and innate divine power, sending out huge waves of qi..
