As for the second option...
If his cultivation is destroyed
It seemed like he could return to the Ye family and live a peaceful life.
But Emperor Qing might not let him go, nor would he necessarily believe that his cultivation had been destroyed.
He is very clear,
Emperor Qing was an extremely cold-blooded and suspicious person.
The Crown Prince might keep his promise and spare him and the Ye family.
But to expect Emperor Qing to be merciful and let him go is unrealistic.
But that's nothing short of a fantasy!
Over the decades, he knew Emperor Qing all too well.
So, actually, from the very beginning,
He then had only one choice: to join the Crown Prince's palace and become a guest minister.
Regardless of whether there are hidden grandmasters behind the crown prince,
At least Li Chungang and the Crown Prince himself were two true grandmasters.
With his addition, there would be a total of three Grandmasters.
As a result,
Even Emperor Qing dared not act rashly.
In his opinion,
Such forces could even join together to storm the palace and force Emperor Qing to abdicate.
Because only a Grandmaster knows the true power of a Grandmaster.
Although Emperor Qing was also a Grandmaster, how could he possibly defeat three people on his own?
However, what he didn't know was that
Li Chungang and Li Chengqian are the same person.
There was no hidden grandmaster behind Li Chengqian.
Even with him included, there are only two Grandmasters.
But even so,
Whether it was two or three Grandmasters, Emperor Qing dared not act rashly.
On the contrary, it can truly preserve the Ye family temporarily.
Of course, he knew Emperor Qing's temperament; if anything went wrong, there would be a reckoning later.
Especially the unfamiliar grandmaster who appeared today.
He had seen that kind of golden blood on Wu Zhu before.
Wu Zhu came from the temple, and clearly, so did the man in plain clothes.
This suggests that Emperor Qing and the temple had a secret collaboration.
It can compel temple messengers to kill.
He didn't know just how powerful the temple was, which was why he couldn't make up his mind for so long.
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's voice,
Ye Liuyun slowly opened his eyes, but he did not give a direct answer.

Instead, he asked, "Does Your Highness know of the temple?"
Li Chengqian calmly said, "The temple is nothing to fear."
He has a clone that can negate a fatal opportunity.
It can kill at least three or four temple messengers.
And at this moment, it's uncertain how many more temple messengers the temple can send out!
Ye Liuyun saw the confidence in Li Chengqian.
Some remarked with emotion, "This world ultimately belongs to you young people!"
"Very well, since Your Highness does not despise me, I will sell my life to you."
"I only hope that Your Highness will one day ascend the throne and treat the Ye family well!"
Having said that, he rose and bowed, saying:
"Your subject Ye Liuyun greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian stepped forward and helped Ye Liuyun up, smiling as he said, "If Master Ye does not abandon me, I will certainly not let the Ye family down."
At the same time
The Control Yuan has already located Zuixianju based on clues.
The Northern Qi sent quite a few people this time.
Wolf Peach, Cheng Jushu, hundreds of elite Imperial Guard archers, and mages.
So many people settled in Kyoto,
Even if someone secretly provides convenience,
Many traces, however, cannot be concealed.
Among them, the most attention-grabbing is Zuixianju!
He used the crown prince's name to do many convenient things!
Of course, these people were able to enter the city.
The garrison commander who let them into the city also seemed to have something to do with the Prime Minister's office!
I recall the last time the Crown Prince appeared on Niulan Street.
Some people couldn't help but think,
Could it be that the Crown Prince went to kill someone to silence them?
The news was quickly reported to Zhu Ge of the First Division of the Control Yuan.
As an organizer responsible for matters in Kyoto,
Chen Pingping is not in the capital now, so everything is naturally in his hands!
However, he was unsure about what to do when it came to the crown prince.
After hesitating for a long time, he chose to report it again and sent the message to the palace.
Not long after, a reply came from the palace.
Only four words.
"Investigate thoroughly!"
Zhu Ge immediately issued an order.
The city gate guard involved in the case, as well as all the people from Zuixianju, were arrested.
But when his men made their move,
The entire family of the city gate guard had committed suicide at home; not a single person in the entire household was spared.
As for Zuixianju, although they arrived...
However, guards from the Eastern Palace were stationed outside the pleasure boat.
Trying to go in and arrest someone is simply wishful thinking.
These guards obeyed no one but the Crown Prince's orders.
Not to mention the Control Yuan,
Even when Emperor Qing arrives, he has to bring the Crown Prince along before they will make way for him.
The officials from the Control Yuan did not dare to force their way in.
For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Left with no other choice, Zhu Ge had to go to the Eastern Palace in person to request an audience with the Crown Prince.
When Zhu Ge arrived at the Eastern Palace,
It was already quite dark.
He waited outside the door for a long time, only to receive a single response.
"It's getting late. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Zhu Ge was somewhat annoyed, but dared not do anything about it.
He could only leave the Eastern Palace with his men, and gave the following instructions:
"Surround Zuixianju, don't let a single one escape. Also, before the culprit is caught, keep a tight guard at the city gates, don't let a single thief get away!"
"Yes, my lord!"
In the study of the Eastern Palace,
Li Chengqian looked at the intelligence sent by the Luowang (Net of Heaven) in his hand.
It records Si Lili's current whereabouts.
He glanced at it briefly.
He casually tossed the intelligence report into the incense burner beside him, where it slowly burned away.
"For the sake of our friendship, we'll let you run for a day first."
Seeing that things were not going well, Si Lili naturally ran away.
