Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Do our best to protect the king and the royal family!" Lin Feng replied, secretly feeling thankful for his own calmness.

After a series of examinations, the three finally passed the test. Although they were still nervous, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to leave the examination hall, the door in front of them was suddenly pushed open, and a tall and imposing man walked in, with sharp eyes, seemingly full of hostility towards them.

"Is this your friend?" The man glanced at Lin Feng and the other two coldly, with disdain flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't like their presence.

"This is my friend, the second prince." Xiaoyue whispered beside him, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Second Prince?" Lin Feng was shocked and thought to himself, "It seems that this family is really complicated."

"You three outsiders actually dare to hang around in the palace. You really overestimate your abilities." The second prince sneered, as if he was full of doubts about their identities.

"We are Xiaoyue's friends!" Ning Shishi quickly explained, thinking to herself, "This Second Prince seems difficult to deal with."

"Friends? How can you prove yourselves?" The second prince's voice was full of sarcasm, as if he was full of disdain for their identities.

"We just passed the review!" Lin Feng was not willing to be outdone and looked at the second prince with firm eyes.

"Humph, what's the point of review? In my eyes, you are just outsiders." The second prince smiled coldly, turned to Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, it's better not to associate with these outsiders."

"Second Prince, how can you say that?" Xiaoyue retorted angrily, with dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"What I said is the truth." The second prince responded coldly, then turned and left, leaving the three people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"He is such an arrogant person." Lu Feirong said softly, thinking to herself: "It seems that surviving in the palace is not easy."

"Don't worry, although the Second Prince is arrogant, he is not a bad person." Xiaoyue comforted, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "I will help you."

"Thank you, Xiaoyue." Lin Feng said gratefully, thinking to himself: "With Xiaoyue's help, we may be able to gain a foothold in the palace."

With Xiaoyue's guidance, Lin Feng and the other two gradually adapted to life in the palace. Although they faced the indifference of the Second Prince, they also got to know other members of the palace, especially the guards around the Second Prince, and gradually established friendly relations with them.

However, the Second Prince's hostility was always around, and Lin Feng was secretly alert and decided to be more careful in dealing with this complex palace environment.

After all, their goal is to survive in this place full of conspiracies and power struggles, and Xiaoyue is undoubtedly their most important ally.

As night fell, the moonlight shone through the tall palace windows onto the ground, and the silver light made the entire palace look even more mysterious and solemn. With Xiaoyue's company, Lin Feng, Ning Shishi, and Lu Feirong gradually adapted to life here, but they were always uneasy about the hostility of the second prince.

"You must be careful tonight and make sure to lock the door." Xiaoyue reminded them before leaving, with concern in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, we will be careful." Lin Feng smiled slightly, trying to comfort her, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

In the dead of night, Lin Feng lay in bed, thinking about what happened during the day. The second prince's sarcasm was still ringing in his ears. He knew that this prince would not let them go easily. While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a slight sound, as if someone was approaching.

"Who?" Lin Feng's heart tightened, he sat up suddenly and looked around. At this moment, a dark shadow rushed into the room and quickly approached Ning Shishi's bed.

"Wake up!" Lin Feng shouted, and instantly jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the black shadow. His heart was beating like thunder, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He knew that this was definitely an assassin's attack.

The assassin's dagger flashed with cold light, and he was about to stab Ning Shishi. At the critical moment, Lin Feng grabbed the assassin's wrist, twisted the dagger forcibly, and stabbed it into the wall.

"Ah!" Ning Shishi woke up in shock, and when she saw the situation in front of her, she stepped back in horror.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Lin Feng said firmly, but he was secretly anxious in his heart. He knew that if the assassin was not dealt with quickly, everyone would be in danger.

Seeing this, the assassin quickly broke free from Lin Feng's control and turned around to try to escape. Lin Feng was not to be outdone and followed him closely, intending to catch him and not let him escape from the palace.

"Quick, call someone!" Lu Feirong also woke up from her dream, quickly ran to the door and tried to call the guards.

However, the assassin was extremely agile, and Lin Feng chased him from behind, passing through one room after another until he reached the backyard of the palace. Just as he was about to pounce on the assassin again, the assassin suddenly stopped, turned to face Lin Feng, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think you can catch me?" the assassin said coldly, then he took out a small bottle from his arms and quickly sprinkled the liquid on his body.

"What do you want to do!" Lin Feng was shocked and realized that the assassin was planning to commit suicide.

"Haha, the power struggle in the palace is ultimately something you outsiders cannot interfere with." The assassin showed a crazy smile at the corner of his mouth, then closed his eyes, and his body slowly fell down, turning into a pool of blood.

Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. This assassin was obviously ordered by the Second Prince to create chaos among them. But he was secretly glad in his heart. If he hadn't woken up in time, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong would have been killed.

"Lin Feng, are you okay?" Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong also chased over, and were relieved to see that Lin Feng was safe and sound.

"I'm fine, you guys should be careful too." Lin Feng took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and thought to himself: "It seems that the Second Prince's hostility has not weakened, but has become more obvious."

At this moment, several guards hurried over, and seeing the assassin on the ground, they immediately became alert and surrounded him.

"What's going on?" A guard asked immediately upon seeing this.

"We were attacked by an assassin and he committed suicide." Lin Feng replied, but he was thinking in his heart how to handle the matter properly.

"Quick, notify the king!" The guards immediately took action, and Lin Feng secretly decided that he must explain everything to Xiaoyue and the king and not let the second prince continue to act recklessly.

Not long after, the king arrived at the scene accompanied by his guards. When he saw the assassin's body, he was shocked.

"Xiaoyue, how did you get involved in such an incident?" The king turned to Xiaoyue with concern in his tone.

"Father, I am friends with them and I will protect them!" Xiaoyue said firmly, with an unyielding light in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was touched and thought to himself, "Xiao Yue is indeed a friend worthy of trust."

"The identity of the assassin has not been ascertained yet. It seems that the matter is not simple." The king pondered for a moment, then turned to Lin Feng and the other two, "You must be careful. I will investigate the second prince's motives." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Feng felt grateful and secretly made up his mind that he must not let the second prince continue to control everything in the dark.

As time goes by, Lin Feng gradually realizes that the power struggle in the palace is becoming more and more complicated. The second prince is not only hostile to Xiaoyue, but also covetous for the succession of the entire royal family. He is determined to help Xiaoyue fight for the throne and break the second prince's conspiracy.

"We can't stay here any longer, we must take action." Lin Feng said to Xiaoyue and others, with a determined light in his eyes.

"What is your plan?" Xiaoyue asked seriously, with fighting spirit ignited in her heart.

"We need to attract more supporters and strive to establish our own power in the palace." Lin Feng analyzed, "At the same time, we also need to secretly investigate the movements of the second prince and look for some evidence against him."

"It sounds risky." Ning Shishi said worriedly.

"But this is our only chance." Lin Feng said firmly, "We can't let the Second Prince continue to control the situation."

"I will fully support you." Xiaoyue nodded, determination flashing in her eyes.

"Okay, then let's act separately." Lin Feng made up his mind and decided to find their way out in this vortex of power.

In the following days, Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong began to carry out secret operations in the palace. They gradually came into contact with some guards and officials loyal to Xiaoyue and lured them to become their supporters. At the same time, they also carefully observed the movements of the second prince, trying to find evidence of his conspiracy.

By chance, Lin Feng learned about the secret deal between the Second Prince and the Demon Sect, and thought to himself, "This will be a great opportunity. If we can make this news public, it will definitely weaken the Second Prince's power."

"We must act as soon as possible!" Lin Feng said to Xiaoyue and others, with a determined light in his eyes.

After careful planning, Lin Feng decided to expose the second prince's conspiracy at a banquet in the palace. They carefully collected evidence and arranged all the details.

The banquet arrived as scheduled. In the magnificent palace, the nobles gathered together and the atmosphere was warm. Lin Feng and Xiao Yue stood aside, but their hearts were surging.

"Are we ready?" Xiaoyue asked in a low voice, with a nervous look in her eyes.

"I'm ready." Lin Feng nodded, thinking to himself, "This is our chance to turn the tables."

When the banquet reached its climax, Lin Feng stood up, attracting everyone's attention. He cleared his throat and said in a loud and clear voice: "Everyone, I have an important news to announce!"

Everyone turned their heads, expressions of curiosity and confusion.

"I will expose the secret deal between the Second Prince and the Demon Sect!" Lin Feng's voice was like thunder, instantly causing a commotion.

"What are you talking about?" The second prince looked angry and stared at Lin Feng coldly.

"I have evidence!" Lin Feng did not back down. He held a document tightly in his hand and thought to himself, "This time, I must not back down."

The banquet hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Feng, waiting for his next words.

"Second Prince, I have already known about the deal between you and the Demon Sect!" Lin Feng's voice echoed in the hall, firm and powerful.

"How dare you!" The second prince roared, but Lin Feng was no longer afraid.

"I have evidence that proves that you are colluding with the Demon Sect with the intention of overthrowing the royal family!" Lin Feng held the document high, staring directly at the second prince with a sharp gaze.

The crowd began to whisper, obviously shocked and disturbed by Lin Feng's words.

"You are framing me!" The second prince had a gloomy expression and tried to suppress his inner panic.

"I didn't make false accusations. Everything I said was true!" Lin Feng responded firmly, thinking to himself, "This time, I must make sure the truth comes out."

At this moment, the king was also alarmed. He slowly walked forward, scanning the people in the banquet hall with his sharp eyes.

"Is what Lin Feng said true?" The king's voice was steady and majestic, which made the whole audience quiet down.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely a rumor!" The second prince tried to defend himself, but the king's eyes became more severe.

"I will investigate this matter. If there is evidence, the perpetrators will be severely punished." The king's voice was full of determination, which shocked everyone.

"I will present the evidence and implore Your Majesty to find out the truth!" Lin Feng did not back down and thought to himself, "This is my first step in winning the throne for Xiaoyue."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall became increasingly tense. Lin Feng knew that every step forward was crucial. He secretly vowed to help Xiaoyue realize her dream and take back her rights.

A few days after the banquet, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense. The king secretly investigated and gradually discovered the secret deal between the second prince and the Demon Sect. He was shocked and angry beyond words. As the king of a country, he understood that the second prince's behavior was not only a challenge to his authority, but also a threat to the entire dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the results of the investigation are out. The second prince did have close contact with the Demon Sect." A loyal guard reported in a low voice to the king with a serious expression.

The king looked gloomy and was in a dilemma. He felt sorry for his son. Although the second prince's behavior was unforgivable, he was still unwilling to execute him. After some consideration, the king decided to give the second prince a severe lesson to warn him not to do it again.

"Pass the order down. The Second Prince is temporarily confined to the palace and kept under strict supervision until I can deal with him further." The king gave the order, his voice full of helplessness and determination.

However, the Second Prince did not restrain himself. Instead, he secretly deepened his connection with the Demon Sect during his confinement and plotted a bigger conspiracy. He thought to himself: "As long as I have enough power, I can turn the tables on my father and seize the throne!"

At this time, Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong were also taking active actions in secret. They realized that the Second Prince's conspiracy was not over, but intensified. Lin Feng thought to himself: "We must find evidence as soon as possible to stop all the Second Prince's plots."

"We can't wait any longer, we must act!" Lin Feng said to Xiaoyue and others, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Where should we find evidence?" Lu Feirong asked nervously. (End of this chapter)
