"The Second Prince, he …" Ever since the battle had started, the Second Prince had not been able to wake up. He had been trapped in his room and had gotten drunk every day. He had been mumbling 'I've lost …' The eunuch spoke in a single breath, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. He knew the empress's temperament very well. He was really afraid the empress would vent her anger on him.

"What did you say?" Hearing the eunuch's words, the empress stood up in fury.

"This... Queen, spare me! " The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"A useless fellow!" "Hmph, show me what you've got!" Looking at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground, shivering nonstop, the empress was in no mood to pay attention to him. Right now, she couldn't wait to see her own son.

He clearly knew that if it wasn't for Bu Jinghua suddenly fainting, he really wouldn't have been able to dodge the chain of attacks from the Purple Rock Spear in her hands. He had lost, but he had actually lost to a girl who was far inferior to him. The most despicable thing was that this girl was only a little girl whom he had insulted in the past. He could even imagine what the people outside would say about him right now. Perhaps those with a poor eyesight wouldn't be able to tell that he had lost, but those with a clear vision would be able to tell … Legend has it that the girl fainted only because she was pregnant. She didn't expect that she would lose to a pregnant woman … Right now, people outside would definitely regard him as the most useless person. He had finished gorging himself and was now in the hands of that little girl, Bu Jinghua, for the rest of his life.

Thinking about this, Long Yi felt extremely uncomfortable, so he could only keep using alcohol to intoxicate himself … Even so, he could still vaguely hear the servants in the mansion pointing at him, hateful … Unfortunately, he was unable to accept failure and could only keep himself trapped in his room to get drunk.

"Qian'er, open the door!" The empress's concerned cries could be heard from outside.

"Go, all of you go, I only want the wine, I don't want anything else, I don't want anything else!" The drunken words of a dragon came from the inside of the house.

"Huang'er, quickly open the door! It's the Queen Mother! If you don't open the door, I'll get someone to smash it!" The empress's enraged voice carried on.

"Wine, wine …" Hahaha, I lost, I lost … Haha … Wine... "Haaargh …" In the room, Long Zhaofeng turned a deaf ear to the empress's orders and continued to get drunk.

The empress couldn't hold herself back anymore and ordered someone to smash the door open. A thick smell of alcohol rushed out, making the empress cover her nose in disgust.

In front of him was a pile of wine bottles. The floor was a mess, and even Long Yi himself was in a mess. The usually gentle and refined Second Prince looked like a homeless person at this moment, with thick stubble all over his body.

"Wine …" "Wine …" A lot of people entered the room, but they didn't know what had happened and continued to get drunk. The empress's eyes were about to burst into flames.

This unpromising fellow was completely unable to recover from this one blow. Compared to Long Yan, he was simply far inferior …

The empress walked over angrily and ordered loudly, "Long Yi, get up!" Having received no response, the empress even angrily kicked out a few times at the sprawled foot of the dragon.

"Who are you?" Long Yi then turned his gaze to the empress, narrowing his drunken eyes as he asked, "Come, drink with me!"

"You … Someone come, use it to wake him up! " The empress grew angrier and angrier, and with an order, the servants immediately poured cold water on Lin Mu's head without any hesitation.

After being splashed with cold water for a while, Long Yi finally came to his senses. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Only then did he recognize his own mother, the empress.

Queen Mother!" I lost, wuu! " "He crawled up, hugged the empress and cried without any spirit. His grieving look made the empress's heart ache. Ai, no matter how fallen, he is still her own son!

"Alright, alright, stop crying. You didn't lose. In Imperial Mother's heart, you have always been the winner!" The empress had wanted to slap her ignorant son awake, but in the end she could only caress him gently and comfort him.

"Really? "But that day, I really did lose …" Long Yi had always kept the matter of that day's battle in his heart. Indeed, he was a person who couldn't afford to lose. The reason he accepted the challenge was because he felt that he had won for sure.

He did not expect that Bu Jinghua, who was holding onto a pair of Violet Rock spears, would actually force him out of the golden cover. He almost … He lost miserably!

"You didn't lose!" Hearing Long Yi's words, the empress was enraged once again. The word 'lose' made her feel extremely disgusted, so much so that even the mere mention of her was ear-piercing to her.

"Who do you think you are? Don't say that word, especially you. There is no such word as' lose 'in our Liu Clan's dictionary! " The empress's orders were exceptionally strict. Her shrill voice was so loud that even the alcohol in her mouth had awoken. She did not say another word, and did not even dare to sob.

Seeing Long Yi act this way, the empress's expression relaxed slightly. She waved her hand and dismissed the rest of the servants, leaving the two of them in the room to discuss important matters.

"Xia'er, you are mother's only son. Everything mother does is for you, do you know?" After everyone had left, the empress sat by the bed holding onto Long Yi's hand, speaking with sincerity.

"En!" Long Yi nodded his head obediently.

"Mm, just remember this. Don't worry, not only are you not the loser, you'll always be the big winner. What is the position of crown prince? In the future, you will be the emperor, the supreme emperor of the entire Long Yan Country! Moreover, this will not be for long! " The Queen's eyes shined as she stared at Long Yan and made her oath. Her expression was as if she was devouring Long Yan's food while she was the emperor of Long Yan Country. Her expression was even very excited.

"…" Hearing the empress's confident oath, Long Yi even felt a little fearful. Was this woman before him the same selfless empress he had known? All along, he had really thought that she was such a great woman, so great that she could even disregard her own son. But now, it seemed that … Did he fail again?

Remember, my son, that the Emperor should have the air of the Emperor. It is absolutely undesirable for you to be depressed like this when you are met with a slight setback, do you understand?" Since I have been set up by someone, I should think of a way to turn this defeat into a victory instead of hiding here and drinking until I am as drunk as mud! " The empress continued to teach him a lesson.

"…" "The empress?" Long Yi looked at the empress in front of him and felt a little confused. What did she mean by that? "It won't be long"? Could it be, a usurper... Although he himself really wanted to be the crown prince, and then become the supreme emperor of Long Yan Country, being worshipped and worshipped by tens of thousands of people, but, usurping … He didn't have the guts.

He never thought that his own mother would be such an ambitious woman! Could it be that the rumors he had heard before were true? Her mother had used all sorts of dirty tricks to obtain the position of Empress today … He had also heard that the terrifying event that had taken place in the current Fourth Prince's estate more than ten years ago had been caused by his mother, the current Empress …

As he thought about it, Long Yi even felt that the empress in front of him was a little scary.

"Qing'er, Qing'er... What's the matter with you? " The empress thought he was drunk again as she stared at him in a daze.

"Ah?" The Queen Mother! " Long Yi snapped out of his daze with a cry.

"What's wrong? Didn't you understand what the Queen Mother said? " The empress was a little puzzled by Long Yi's absent-mindedness, but her expression was stern.

"Ah?" "Un, it's quite clear now!" Long Yi only felt fear in his heart. He didn't dare to disobey the words of the woman in front of him.

"That's good. Rest assured, Imperial Mother will definitely get everything for you. You must believe in Imperial Mother!" The Queen lovingly caressed Long Yi's face and once again vowed solemnly. The calendar in her eyes was so dark that no one dared to look at it.

Ever since the battle between Bu Jinghua and Long Yi ended, Bai Ling had never forgotten about Bu Jinghua. He never would have thought that Bu Jinghua could actually condense psychokinesis. Furthermore, the speed at which he condensed his psychokinesis was even faster, and his mastery of psychokinesis was beyond his expectations. What made him even more confused was, why did she avoid his psychokinesis detection? It shouldn't be like this. He clearly felt that her level was inferior to his. If that was the case, would he really have the ability to scan her? However, the facts proved again and again that he couldn't scan it.

Even when she hadn't used her psychokinesis to increase her inner force, he hadn't been able to scan her.

There was definitely a problem.

"What?" Yan'er, he's actually not a fool? " Since the promotion of the dragon shield was imminent, he only needed to cultivate every day but Bai Ling to know what was going on outside. The only person he trusted was Bai Ling, even if the person in front of him wasn't completely his.

Long Yan was not a fool. This news was even more shocking than the fact that Bu Jinghua only used his fourth phase inner force to defeat the sixth stage inner force Long Tianli. For a long time, Long Yan had always felt disgust and remorse towards him, the previous few years had felt disgust, but in recent years, he felt even more guilt. Although he had once suspected that woman of cheating, but … Maybe it really was a trap!

It was also because of this that the dragon shield became a shield. He himself hoped that it was a trap, but if it really was, then he would be the one who killed his most beloved woman and harmed his most beloved son … This kind of conflict often tortured him.

Now that he knew Long Yan wasn't an idiot, should he be happy?

"Not only that, he even defeated Gongzi Yu!" Bai Ling stood there and once again used her extremely calm voice to speak of an even more shocking fact.

"What?" Defeating Gongzi Yu? " Heavens, he had only been in seclusion for a few days. Was there really no need for so many shocking things to happen? It didn't matter if he wasn't an idiot. He could think that his stupidity was just right, but if his martial arts cultivation was at such a high level, then … Young Master Yu knew who his son was. His son who had won together, was a young general before he was 24 years old. He was famous for his great strength and his inner force cultivation was not low either.

The more the dragon shield thought about it, the more its eyes opened wide. He was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked. As for Bai Ling, she still maintained her calm White Impermanence appearance. It seemed like …

"Imperial Advisor Bai, did you already know of this matter?" "Is he not an idiot all along? He's just playing the fool all along!" The dragon shield was aimed straight at the truth, and from Bai Ling's emotionless expression, he obtained an answer that nearly made him collapse. He never expected that the little brat would actually … He was never stupid!

But why pretend to be a fool? At that time, he seemed to be less than ten years old. He never thought that he would have the mentality to pretend to be a fool. Moreover, he had pretended to be one for more than ten years and even his dragon shield was foolishly kept in the dark.

Long Yan wasn't an idiot. The idiot one was his dragon shield!

"Hmph, do you think that's the main point? Do you really want him to be a fool? " Facing such astonishment from the dragon shield, Bai Ling let out a mocking smile for the first time.

"You … So you really knew about it! " Facing Bai Ling's mocking laughter, the dragon shield felt even more surprised. He knew what Bai Ling was laughing about. Wasn't it just a matter of his own contradictions? All along, he had hoped that Long Yan wasn't an idiot, but when he found out that Long Yan really wasn't, why couldn't he be happy? He should be happy, right? Yes, he should be happy...

"Alright, you can go now. I'm going to cultivate now. For the time being, I'll have to trouble you for the Dragon Cliff Kingdom! " He waved his hands, signaling Bai Ling to step back. He really needed to digest what he just learned. Besides, it was time to continue cultivating. He needed to quickly level up so he could meet his good son who had always kept him in the dark!

Bai Ling did not even bother bowing as she walked out. Her indifferent expression made it seem as if nothing had entered her eyes, but the moment he turned around, his body froze and his eyes flashed. He originally wanted to tell the dragon shield about Bu Jinghua gathering psychokinesis, but... Forget it, telling the white spirit that the dragon shield would not be beneficial to Bu Jinghua was something like a telekinesis master. It would be better if he went off and met up with that devilish little girl!

However, this pause caused the exceptionally sensitive Dragon Shield to become aware of it. "Is there something else?" The dragon shield asked as it raised its pair of deep eyes.

"En!" Bai Ling turned around and said lightly, "In the Dark Alliance, other than the silver mask, there are two more people. One wore a golden mask, while the other is an eighteen or nineteen year old spirit reader!"

"The Dark Alliance!" The organization behind the Bu Family! Who would have thought that such talents would appear one after another, and they were all extraordinary … Wasn't it a little too reckless for him to imprison a member of the Bu Family? [If the Dark Alliance is really going to attack him, I am afraid the whole thing will just be a matter of raising my hand …]

Suddenly, the Dragon Shield felt that even though he was the king of the Dragon Cliff Country, he was so insignificant. Life and death were merely the decisions of others.

No, he had to quickly level up. Only by doing this could he better protect himself and the entire country.

"Master Bai, what do you think are the odds of winning if the Dark Alliance attacks?" He had no choice but to prepare himself. The members of the Bu Clan were still in his hands, and he would use them as hostages to his life.

"Less than half!" Bai Ling was quite honest. She made the dragon shield even more worried. "However, there seems to be a conflict within the Dark Alliance. I'm sure we won't act rashly in the near future!"

"Oh?" Hearing Bai Ling's words, the dragon shield became slightly more relaxed. As long as there was time, everything would be fine. After he was done with his advancement, he would have to deal with the organization behind the Bu Family — the Dark Alliance.

"That's good …" After muttering to herself, she waved her hands again to signal for Bai Ling to leave while she continued cultivating.

After tonight, he was going to send her back home. Although he was reluctant to part with her, Long Yan clearly knew that almost everyone in the fourth prince's residence was the empress's spy, even butler Long Meng. And the empress now knew that he was no fool, and would most likely take some big or small blow to him in the near future. It was safer in the Bu Clan than in the fourth prince's residence.

"Are you really going to send me back home tomorrow?" The dim yellow candlelight flickered, reflecting Bu Jinghua's rather gentle appearance. Her watery eyes that looked at Long Yan were filled with worry.

Even though she knew he could handle it a lot with his current abilities, she still couldn't trust him to face it alone.

"Actually, I can stay behind to accompany you!" Bu Jinghua's indifferent tone expressed his deepest feelings. Actually, she also couldn't bear to leave him by even half a step. After being together for so many days, she had long gotten used to their inseparable figures. If they were to part again … She was actually afraid that something bad might happen.

"No, the thing I'm worried about the most is you and the baby. It's not like you don't know how dangerous this place is. It'll be safer in the Bu Family than here. Once I'm done with this, I'll definitely bring you back!" Long Yan insisted. There was no room for negotiation.

"En!" Actually, Bu Jinghua understood this very well. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only compromise for the sake of the baby, couldn't he?

"Baby, you have to be a good boy too. You have to grow up healthy and safe. I'm relieved to see you like this!" Long Yan's large hand gently caressed Bu Jinghua's unaffected stomach as he commanded with a hint of majesty yet incomparably doting. That manner made Bu Jinghua feel extremely warm.
