Magic City, Demon Palace, Crown Prince's Residence.
Tu Qianji, the Crown Prince of the Demon Race, was sitting in the middle. He looked elegant, handsome, and dignified. However, his eyebrows were gloomy. A group of advisors were standing on both sides of him.
"Your highness, originally, our operation was successful and Princess Qingcheng was about to be captured by me, but she was saved by someone called King Seer Mo Luo. This subordinate is useless, please punish me, your highness." This was the fleeing Dharmaraja, Li Mukong. He was covered in blood as he reported in fear.
"This human princess is very useful for this prince's cultivation. After absorbing her pure soul, this prince can break through the level of a Guardian King and enter the level of a Great Guardian King. This princess is also a peerless beauty. You actually failed such a simple mission. How should you be punished?" The Crown Prince looked furious.
"This subordinate is incompetent and deserves to die."
" City Lord Mu, you're being too serious. Don't we have a spy in the Human Race? Let Blooming Flowering Brothel assassinate the Mara King Level Expert and kill that damned Crown Prince of the Human Race as well. Last time, he actually stole the beauty that I fancied. How hateful." After cursing, he still needed these loyal followers to do things for him. The Crown Prince naturally would not kill these loyal servants.
"Yes, this subordinate will do as you say. Thank you Crown Prince for sparing my life. This subordinate will definitely atone for my sins and capture Princess Qingcheng." Li Mukong replied respectfully.
"General Yuan, how are things on your side?”，The Crown Prince turned his head and asked a military counselor.
" Your Highness, our operation was originally very successful. Ning Wang was poisoned and was unconscious. If he became a vegetable, the Imperial Medical Hall would not be able to save him and the Crown Prince would be rid of any future troubles. However, he was saved by a divine doctor called Bian Hongque." said the shifty-eyed military counselor Yuan Tiangang, who had a small mustache. He was very proud of himself and was the chief planner of this assassination.
"Who asked you to kill the Second Imperial Brother? I just hope that he will learn a lesson and lose the hearts of the people. It will be fine as long as he doesn't snatch the throne from me.”
Mu Qianji's angry look made others think that he couldn't bear it and looked kind.
" Yes, yes, this subordinate is stupid. This subordinate thinks that Bian Hongque must die. Otherwise, with his heaven-defying medical skills, he will be an important danger to us."
Since ancient times, the royal family had been the most ruthless. There had been many brothers who had turned against each other. For the sake of the throne, not to mention brothers, there were even many who had killed their fathers to seize the throne. Yuan Tiangang thought to himself. Moreover, only when the Crown Prince ascended the throne would he have a chance to make a name for himself in the military. Moreover, he was the Crown Prince's most trusted military advisor. As long as he helped the Crown Prince seize the throne, his future would be bright.
" Mm, Advisor Jun is still considerate," the Crown Prince praised.
"En, General Li, how's the situation on your side? Are the Imperial Guards and Imperial City Guards willing to submit to this prince?”
"Your Highness, the imperial guards have already sworn their allegiance to the Crown Prince. We have already arranged for our people to enter the important positions. However, the leader of the imperial guards, Wang Bing, is unmoved. I have communicated with him many times, but that guy only said that he would pledge his loyalty to the Demon Emperor. Recently, the Third Princess has taken charge of the imperial guards. It seems that the Emperor still loves the Third Princess very much.”Li Bingtian, the Imperial City Inspector who was in charge of the capital's guards.
The Imperial Guards are the most important force in the Imperial Palace. If we can't win them over, we'll be sitting ducks if we join the Ning Imperial Residence.”。Tu Qianji pretended to panic.
" Crown Prince, there's no need to panic. General Li has 200,000 Imperial Guards and only 10,000 Imperial Guards. As for the Third Princess, we only need her."
"That's good. I'll have to trouble you to arrange everything. Prime Minister Zhang, how are the contacts with the officials?”
" The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Justice have all pledged their loyalty to the Crown Prince. Only the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Minghao, has not expressed his loyalty. This fellow is stubborn and difficult to tame. However, as the Right Prime Minister, I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel. I will find a chance to get rid of him. As for the Left Prime Minister, Cui Longhai, the Emperor has bestowed his eldest daughter, Cui Yingying, to Prince Ning. This Prime Minister believes that we should focus on attacking him and not contact him to prevent any leaks." Right Prime Minister Zhang Yulong spoke with confidence. His daughter, Zhang Mei 'er, was the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he would be the Duke of the Country. It could be said that Zhang Yulong had been extremely worried about the Crown Prince's ascension, so he naturally had his own interests.

"This subordinate is loyal to the Crown Prince and is willing to remove the obstacles for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. I will die even if I have to." A group of people knelt down and swore.
