"What did you say?" "The Southern Wasteland wants to marry Liu Li?" When the emperor of the Nine Continents had yet to receive the letter of credence from the Ancient Southern Kingdom, the eighth prince and crown prince entered the palace late into the night to inform the Old Emperor of this matter.

After hearing about this, Old Emperor was so shocked that even his sleepiness disappeared.

"The marriage contract from Ancient Southern Kingdom will be delivered soon. This envoy has already said, what should royal father and I do?" The crown prince was also feeling conflicted. The situation had gone beyond his expectations.

The Ancient Southern Kingdom was different from the Nine Continents. There were only two princes in the Ancient Southern Kingdom, the Crown Prince Tong Goguo, the Crown Prince Yu and the Second Prince Tong Gogga, Yun, the Second Prince Tong Yun could not cultivate and did not have the qualifications to inherit the throne. Naturally, the Crown Prince Tong Yu became the only competitor for the throne.

Although the Ancient Southern Kingdom didn't have a prince to compete for the throne, there was one exception. That was Master Tong Zhantian Beler, the son of the crown prince Tong Yu's uncle, who could be considered as the crown prince's royal brother.

The Southern Wasteland people revered martial arts. As the undefeatable War God, Master Tong Zhantian Beler was naturally revered by the people of the Ancient Southern Kingdom, and many people in the Nine Continents had heard of his fame. Even the Eighth Prince, who had outstanding achievements, was just like a small witch in front of Tong Zhantian.

Tong Zhantian held the military power of the Ancient Southern Kingdom, and the crown prince was worried that he would rebel. Once the war started between the Southern Wasteland and the Jiuzhou, with Tong Zhantian's leadership skills, he would win the war, and at that time, the name of Tong Zhantian's War God would resound throughout the entire continent.

The Crown Prince of the Ancient Southern Kingdom did not want to start this war, and similarly, the Crown Prince of the Nine Continents did not want to start this war either. For free, she wanted the Eighth Prince and Shen Kai to earn military merits and stay in the capital.

The crown prince of two countries did not want to start a war, so he immediately reached an agreement. Thinking about this path of negotiation, he did not expect that the crown prince of Ancient Southern Kingdom would hide a trick and actually want to marry Liu Li.

Indeed, in terms of the military power of the Nine Continents, the crown prince was far inferior to the eighth prince. If Tong Zhantian did not accept the crown prince's order to transfer troops, then the crown prince of the Ancient Southern Kingdom could rely on his identity as the eighth prince's brother-in-law to let the eighth prince lead the troops to war. Although he was not as strong as Tong Zhantian, but with the relationship between the two of them, Tong Zhantian would definitely not rebel easily.

"Father, this time, our kinship in the Southern Wasteland is ambitious. We cannot agree to it." The Crown Prince tried his best to dissuade him.

The eighth prince looked at the crown prince in shock, he never thought that the crown prince would actually stand on his side this time. He thought that the crown prince would make a big fuss about this matter and wished that Liu Li could marry into the Ancient Southern Kingdom.

"I can't believe that you two have the same idea. Father has his own ideas on this matter, so we should let Eleven prepare for the marriage. The two of you should hurry up and recruit the army." This way, he could avoid war and exchange for peace for the Nine Continents. However, his two favorite princes tried their best to dissuade him, causing his relaxed heart to pause for a moment.

The Old Emperor was about to ascend to the throne, so he didn't want anything to go wrong with it during the later stages of his reign, especially when he was old, competing, and waging war. He no longer had the hot-bloodedness from back then, and only wanted to live a peaceful life for a while, at least he wouldn't let his country die at his hands, and remember the name of the emperor of his country in the history books of the later generations.

When the Crown Prince and the eighth prince heard Old Emperor's words, they were overjoyed. They had asked the eleventh prince to arrange the marriage ceremony so that the wedding date would be the same as before. The Emperor had not considered marriage to the Southern Wasteland.

"Imperial Father is wise!" The duo said in unison.

"It's already deep into the night. The two of you should head back for the time being. We also need to rest." Filled with sleepiness, the Old Emperor waved his hands and said.

"Please rest early royal father. This son will take his leave." The two of them spoke in unison again. Today, the two of them seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. He didn't forget to smile politely after he finished speaking.

The Crown Prince and Eighth Prince, seeing that the Old Emperor had arranged for them to stay in the palace, should leave the palace. The two of them lived in the east palace, and since they were both inside the walls of the imperial palace, the Eighth Prince opened up a mansion outside of the palace, which meant the two of them are on different paths, but the Eighth Prince still followed the crown prince and walked a distance, "Thank you, royal brother, for helping me just now, my royal brother thanked you on behalf, on behalf of Liu Li and Shen Kai."

The crown prince stopped and turned, stared at the eighth prince and slowly said, "It seems that Shen Kai is really yours, I was wrong about him."

After all, Liu Li was his blood sister, but why did he help Shen Kai? With what identity did he help Shen Kai?

Realizing that he had leaked the information, the eighth prince was speechless for a moment.

The Crown Prince laughed, he already knew that there was something going on between the Eighth Prince and Shen Kai, it was just that he had always been unwilling to believe it and to think of it that way. From the beginning, he hadn't been the one to make Shen Kai's choice. He was also helpless, "Don't think too much about it, Liu Li is also my little sister. I don't want to see her become the hostage of the Southern Wasteland Jiuzhou."

The Crown Prince left without looking back.

The eighth prince had been standing on the spot, looking at the back of the crown prince as he disappeared into the night. He didn't know whether the crown prince's words were true or false, but he was willing to believe them.

The competition between brothers didn't come from his own intentions, it was just that the Crown Prince's methods had made him too disappointed. If it wasn't for the matter of mufei back then, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to compete with the Crown Prince.

"If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not vote for the Imperial Family!" The eighth prince shook his head and sighed, then left the palace.

In less than three days, the Ancient Southern Kingdom's national letter was delivered to the Nine Continents. After receiving the national letter, the Old Emperor announced this matter in the imperial court. This caught the Crown Prince and the eighth prince off guard.
