The blood moon was in the sky, and the entire Ling'an City was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

Suning hovered above the imperial city, his black robe rustling.

A ball of dark red energy condensed from his fingertips, and he sneered, "The Seventh Prince's body is even more perfect than I imagined."

At this time, Yu Qi had been trapped in the center of the magic circle, and the ebony dagger was breaking into pieces.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

"Because you are the protagonist of this world, I will make you my clone."

He gritted his teeth and said, "What? A clone? Don't even think about it..."

"Haha, stop struggling." Su Ning waved his hand, and dark red energy penetrated Yu Qi's seven orifices like a venomous snake. "From now on, you are my incarnation in the human world. There is no point in you continuing to live in this world."

"You...you are a demon..."

"It's too late to react now."

The military dog Erniu whined in the corner. It saw its master slowly stand up, but his eyes were clearly glowing with a devilish red light.

From then on, there was no more Yu Qi in this world.

……

In the imperial study, Emperor Jingming stroked the portrait of the seventh prince, but he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if he had suddenly lost something important.

Eunuch Liu said softly, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince and Master Zhen have arrived."

"Well, pass it quickly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty."

As Yu Qi saluted, the emperor keenly noticed that the jade pendant on his waist no longer glowed. "Heng'er, have you made any progress on the Si Tianjian case I asked you to investigate?"

Zhen Heng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have discovered that the Jinwu Guards who protected you that day were all under the control of the Nanwu secret technique."

At this time, "Yu Qi" suddenly interrupted and explained, "There is also this in the secret compartment of the study of Lord Yang of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau."

Then he presented a letter from Nanwu.

The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank: "Yu Qi, you actually know the Nanwu language?"

Zhen Heng, who was standing by, thought the emperor was angry and quickly knelt down to explain, "Your Majesty, Lord Yu is just..."

"That's all right." The emperor waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Seventh Brother, go on."

Then "Yu Qi" began to speak eloquently: "Your Majesty, Nanwu and our dynasty have been fighting for a hundred years. It would be better to open up border trade and resolve the hatred through the tea-horse trade. As the saying goes, it is better to open up than to block. Indiscriminate and intensive suppression will not have much effect."

"Seventh Brother, do you really think so?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, Nanwu is not necessarily a monolithic entity. We just need to use patience and perseverance to educate them. One day, we will be able to eliminate the warmongering faction within Nanwu."

The emperor seemed to be thinking: "You all leave, and the seventh one stays."

"Yes! Your Majesty, we will take our leave."

After Zhen Heng and the others left, the emperor looked at Yu Qi with a smile on his face. "Seventh Brother, I'm going to arrange for you to return to your ancestral home. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I will obey your orders."

"Haha, good! Lao Qi, you should also go back and prepare well."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

All of Emperor Jingming's sons lived in luxury in Ling'an, but the seventh prince was suffering outside. The emperor felt very sorry for his son.

Therefore, Emperor Jingming always felt that he owed the seventh prince, and it was natural for him to be emotionally biased towards him.

……

It was raining heavily. Zhen Heng was hiding from the rain under the palace wall when he suddenly heard the tinkling of bells and pendants.

A woman with her eyes covered by white gauze walked slowly, holding on to the palace wall, her plain skirt wet with rain.

Zhen Heng took off his outer robe to cover her: "Miss, be careful on the steps."

The woman tilted her head slightly: "Thank you, sir!"

"My name is Zhen Heng, not a young master."

"Oh! So you are the famous Master Zhen. What a pleasure to meet you."

After the rain stopped, the blind woman wanted to lead Zhen Heng out of the palace.

On the way out of the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs suddenly rushed over.

After seeing the blind woman, they were a little worried and called the woman "Princess". It turned out that the blind woman was Princess Fuqing.

……

In the Nanwu Temple, Liu Yan'er knelt before the Great Elder: "Jiang Si can predict the future, he must be the reincarnation of the Saint!"

The Great Elder crushed the bamboo leaf letter and said, "Du Er, take the Shadow Guard to Northern Zhou. Remember—they must be alive."

"Yes! Great Elder."

Jiang Si was suddenly noticed by Nan Wu, which naturally made things more and more complicated.

Of course, Jiang Si was also investigating all the secrets, and still kept a distance from Yu Qi, not knowing that Yu Qi had already become Suning's clone.

"Master Yu, have you noticed that Erniu has been acting a bit strange lately?"

"Really? Maybe the fourth lady is worrying too much?" "Maybe! I always feel that Erniu seems to be very scared."

"Perhaps the fight with the Southern Squid some time ago scared Erniu. You know, the people in the Southern Squid aren't very smart."

"..."

At this moment, Jiang Si naturally felt that Yu Qi's words were a bit harsh, but he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

So Jiang Si said goodbye and left with an unhappy look on his face, but he didn't notice the strange smile on Yu Qi's face.

……

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, I have already investigated the Crown Prince's recent movements and learned that he has been secretly communicating with the Princess, and that many important officials of the court have been implicated."

"injured?"

"Huh? Thank you, Your Highness, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"..."

The King of Qi saw that his subordinate who came to report was injured, so he did not want the prince's men to find out about it.

He then killed this subordinate whom he had trained for many years with his own hands.

At this moment, the warrior looked at the King of Qi in front of him with shock. He did not expect that the King of Qi did not care about the relationship between master and servant at all.

"Someone, come! Drag him out and give him a proper burial! Give his family some extra compensation."

"Yes! Your Highness Prince Qi."

After the warrior's body was dragged away and the bloodstains were cleaned up, the Princess of Qi walked out in a dignified manner.

"Your Highness, why are you so angry again?"

"Humph! The people below didn't do their job well and actually left a trace behind."

"That's damn true."

"My beloved, is there something wrong?"

"I heard that the Seventh Prince had returned, so I prepared a gift for you, Your Highness."

"Well, thank you for your concern, my beloved concubine! The Seventh Prince and I are probably brothers from the same mother. He will definitely be able to help our Prince Qi's Mansion in the future."

"Your Highness, I heard that the Seventh Prince is still single. Why don't you arrange a family dinner at your residence and find a good marriage for him?"

"Haha, great! You are indeed worthy of being my beloved concubine."

"Your Highness, this is what I should do."

However, there were constant disputes at the banquet.

The prince deliberately had the screen removed, and then made things difficult for Jiang Si to vent Cui Mingyue's anger.

But Jiang Si was not willing to be outdone and mocked the prince, making him lose face.

The enraged prince stood up and wanted to throw the bowl to smash the ginger.

At this time, Yu Qi stood up and poured the wine in the glass on the prince's face.

The King of Qi was secretly delighted when he saw this.

"Seventh Brother, what do you want to do? I am the prince."

"If the Crown Prince doesn't respect himself, then he's not worthy of being the Crown Prince."

"You...you are so arrogant! I will go to my father and complain about you."

"Humph! I, Yu Qi, am always ready to accompany you."

The princes started fighting with each other, and the matter soon came before the emperor. The emperor was very angry and wanted to punish the princes.

The personal eunuch Bao Ping reminded Emperor Jingming, "Your Majesty, Yu Qi is still a commoner and has not been canonized. He is not considered a member of the royal family, so he cannot be punished according to royal rules."

After hearing this, the emperor asked Baoping thoughtfully, "Baoping, which other semicolons have not been canonized?"

"Your Majesty, there is still a title with the character Yan that has not been canonized." The personal eunuch Baoping suddenly thought of a good title.

"Issue an order! Confer the title of King of Yan on the Seventh Prince and punish him together with the other princes."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Yu Qi was not very happy about being canonized. After all, Yu Qi was already a clone of Suning.

Seeing that Yu Qi was not too happy, the emperor did not want to get involved in the royal disputes because of the child, so he tried his best to persuade Yu Qi that Ling'an now had many people who flattered him, and if Yu Qi was not canonized in time, it would be difficult for him to protect himself.

The emperor was very happy with this drama because it was a good opportunity to enthrone the seventh prince.

After returning to the palace, Concubine Xian was very angry with Yu Qi because she also felt that her son was an unlucky person and wanted her to be punished as soon as he came back.

At this moment, Concubine Xian really disliked her adopted son, "Damn it! This Yu Qi is truly a disaster."

"Your Majesty, do you want to reprimand His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?" The personal eunuch beside her looked at Concubine Xian and asked, understandingly.

"Oh! Forget it! His Majesty is angry, let's not make things more complicated." The virtuous concubine thought about it and gave up the idea of meddlesomeness.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Concubine."
