"Affect the order!" A low and hoarse voice came from the shadow, full of awe and obedience. The shadow moved slightly, as if a gust of wind, and disappeared into the room in an instant, without revealing its true colors from beginning to end.

Qin Tiannan sat on the chair, his mouth slightly raised, showing a faint smile. He seemed to have seen Ling Xiao’s despair expression after learning that his relatives were arrested, and his heart was full of expectations.

Qin Tiannan sat quietly in the room, his eyes shining through the window, looking at the deep and distant sky. The strong wind whistled, but it could not dispel the thick haze in his heart. A sneer appeared on his face, and his smile was full of mockery and disdain, as if he was mocking all the conspiracies and tricks in the world.

"My daughter, do you want us to fight to the death with the Yu Clan and Ling Xiao, and then you come out to clean up the mess and seize the throne later?" Qin Tiannan's voice was low and cold, as if the roar of an evil ghost coming from the Jiuyou Hell.

A hint of anger and disappointment were revealed in his eyes. The once well-behaved and cute daughter is now calculating her family for the sake of power.

"This method is the rest of your father and I play with." Qin Tiannan raised his head slightly, his eyes full of confidence and pride.

He has been struggling in this whirlpool of power for decades and has experienced countless conspiracies and plots. What methods have he never seen? In his opinion, Qin Xianglan's little thoughts are nothing more than pediatrics.

"However, I hope you can surpass your superiority, come on." Qin Tiannan's tone suddenly had a hint of expectation and encouragement.

Although he was angry at Qin Xianglan's behavior, deep down he still hoped that his daughter would have a future. He hoped that Qin Xianglan could stand out in this cruel power struggle with his wisdom and courage.

"If you can really kill me, I will let you be this king!" Qin Tiannan's voice was firm and decisive, as if it was a challenge to Qin Xianglan. He knew that the struggle for power was cruel, and there was no family affection or friendship.

If Qin Xianglan really has the ability to defeat him, then he is willing to give up the throne to her, because he believes that only those who are truly capable can lead the Qin family to a more glorious future.

Qin Tiannan's eyes were still stuck outside the window, but his thoughts had already drifted away. He remembered his struggles when he was young, his brothers who had fought side by side with him, and those who sacrificed for power.

He knew very well that power was like a double-edged sword, which could bring both glory and status, as well as pain and disaster. He didn't know whether Qin Xianglan could understand this truth and whether she could withstand the temptation and pressure of power.

"I hope you don't let me down." Qin Tiannan sighed softly, the voice echoed in the quiet room, as if it was the last trace of expectation for Qin Xianglan.

...

Qin King Palace.

The originally lively crowds have gradually dissipated. At this moment, only Qin Yu and Qin Liang were left in the huge hall. In the empty hall, candlelight swaying, light and shadow swaying on the walls, making a slight "crackling" sound, adding a bit of silence and solemn atmosphere.

Qin Liang sighed slightly, with a look of emotion on his face, and said slowly:

"Our father is really terrible. When we think we have become chess players, able to control the situation and manipulate the fate of others, they are actually just chess pieces on his chessboard. That self-righteous Qin Xianglan is too. She really thinks she can beat the old guy? Her tricks are simply vulnerable to the father, and they are just clowns."

Qin Liang's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and awe. He knew his father's methods and strategies well, and he was just an insignificant existence in front of his father.

Qin Yu stood quietly aside. When he heard Qin Liang's words, he just glanced at Qin Liang indifferently, without any slight wave in his eyes.

His voice was calm and steady, and he said slowly: "I am not interested in the throne. You are actually waiting obediently. The throne belongs to you sooner or later, so why bother to kill me and Qin Xianglan? We are all a family, and we should support each other and protect the glory of the Qin family together, but you did not do anything to make me feel heartbroken for this empty throne."

Qin Yu's words were full of sincerity and helplessness. He did not understand why Qin Liang was so persistent in the throne and even did not hesitate to hurt his relatives.

"Hmph!" Qin Liang snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain and suspicion. He stared at Qin Yu tightly and said loudly: "Second brother, you are so good at pretending. Do you really think your acting skills can be hidden from your father? The father told me before that he thought that you were the one who killed the eldest brother!"

Qin Liang's voice echoed in the hall, and every word hit Qin Yu's heart like a heavy hammer. After saying this, Qin Liang stared at Qin Yu's eyes, trying to find a flaw in his eyes.

When Qin Yu heard Qin Liang's words, his face suddenly became extremely sad and angry. His eyes were wide open, with anger and grievances in his eyes.

He said excitedly: "You can insult me, you can say that I have ambitions, but you shouldn't do this. I was basically raised by my elder brother, and he is closer to me than my father. In my heart, my elder brother is like my biological father. How could I hurt him? To be honest, if my elder brother wants to rebel, I must stand on my elder brother's side. Forget it, think whatever you like."

Qin Yu's voice trembled a little, his heart was filled with pain and helplessness. He didn't understand why Qin Liang distrustd him so much and why his father suspected him.

After saying that, Qin Yu turned around and left, his back seemed a little lonely and lonely. Qin Liang looked at Qin Yu's back as he left, and his face changed again and again.

A trace of doubt began to arise in his heart. Could it be that it wasn't him? He began to recall Qin Yu's various behaviors in daily life. Qin Yu has always been so gentle and kind, and has respected his elder brother very much. Would he really do such a thing?

Qin Liang's heart was full of contradictions and confusion, and he didn't know whether he should believe Qin Yu's words.

...

In a quiet place in Wangzhou, the surrounding trees are lush and the branches and leaves are intertwined. The sunlight shines through the gaps, forming mottled light and shadows.

Ling Xiao was sitting leisurely by a bonfire, with a bird-shaped monster in front of him. The monster was huge in size and colorful in feathers. Even if it had become a meal on the plate, it could still be seen how extraordinary it was before his lifetime.

Ling Xiao skillfully flipped the monsters and smeared various spices on it. Although he was escaping, he always felt that he could not lose his fun.
