I insist

Chapter 505: Control

Yu Huailin sneered: "Why do I feel like you guys are more comfortable when I'm not here?"

The others exchanged bewildered glances, unsure whether he meant it—happy, unhappy, or angry.

General Mu was Yu Huailin's confidant no matter what, and seeing him like this, he asked directly, "Your Highness, have we done something wrong?"

Yu Huailin didn't answer him. Instead, he sat down in the chair and casually asked, "Why did you suddenly take action? Shouldn't you have informed me about this?"

"Doesn't the prince know about this? It was bound to happen sooner or later, so what difference does it make whether it happens sooner or later?"

"Yes, Your Highness, we can't take it anymore. That emperor is so incompetent; he shouldn't be on the throne at all. We must remove him from the throne."

That's the most important thing; we don't feel we did anything wrong.

These people respected Huai Lin, but they didn't admire him. They only admired those with real talent and ability; as for him, they only knew his status.

"So you mean it's my fault, and I should cooperate with you, instead of you cooperating with me, right?"

Yu Huailin glanced at everyone present and said in a calm tone.

These words immediately silenced them. They dared not utter a single word, given his status; as the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.

This statement still applies at this time.

Yu Huailin knew without even thinking what they were thinking, but he didn't care and simply said, "Everything in the capital is under my control."

This incident almost ruined everything I had worked so hard for. I still think it must have been someone else's plan, something intentional.

I never expected that my attempt to try my luck here today would actually be you. You've truly opened my eyes. It's me, I'm simply incapable of controlling you.

General Mu immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, this is my fault. I was in a hurry, which is why I took action. Please punish me, Your Highness."

"Please punish me, Your Highness." The others also knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness from Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin said, "Alright, none of you are being sincere. Acting in front of me won't do much good. But if you don't handle this matter well..."

Or perhaps you'll cause others to perish as well; I imagine you won't find peace in the afterlife then.

The people kneeling on the ground dared not utter a word or raise their heads, fearing that Yu Huailin would see through all their thoughts and that they would be in trouble.

Yu Huailin came here simply to confirm this matter; now that it's confirmed, there's nothing more to it.

He slowly stood up, and before leaving, he took a deep look at General Mu and the others. He couldn't bear to leave them behind.

Finally, he exhaled and said, "Tomorrow I will join you in attacking Prince Jing and his forces. Be prepared and don't let Xiao Bai die."

After saying that, Yu Huailin left, completely disregarding the impression he left on others.

After they could no longer hear Yu Huailin's voice, the others came to their senses. They originally wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly, they ended up sitting on the ground.

"I thought this prince wasn't very capable, but I didn't expect him to have such a strong aura. It's like he came from a battlefield."

"Indeed, we underestimated the prince."

“You have indeed underestimated the prince. He did fight his way up from the battlefield. Do you think it’s so easy to survive in the royal family?”

"You can't survive without taking lives. Go into the palace now and see for yourself; an ordinary palace maid might have more lives on her hands than a lowly soldier, let alone him."

General Mu glanced indifferently at the person sitting on the ground and said softly.

The others nodded repeatedly. After hearing General Mu's words, they no longer dared to underestimate Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin returned to the inn as quickly as possible and went straight into Song Miqiu's room, which was dark.

But he saw a figure sitting on a stool, as if waiting for someone to come.

Yu Huailin knew that Song Miqiu was waiting for him to return. He walked to the side, lit the lamp, and then sat down opposite Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu glanced at him calmly and asked, "How's the reconnaissance going? Are there any enemies ahead?"

"There are no enemies ahead, but there are two armies facing off, and I don't think you would want to get involved in this, since it's me and Prince Jing fighting against each other."

Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu very seriously and said, word by word.

"In other words, the remnants of the previous dynasty are really your people, not part of Liuli's scheme. You're really something, managing to pull off something like this at a time like this."

Song Miqiu never expected things to turn out this way; she had thought it was all part of the Liuli Plan.

Yu Huailin did not hide anything from Song Miqiu: "This is something I didn't expect either. I only confirmed it when I went there today, and I've already told them about it."

"So you'll be leading your troops to confront Prince Jing tomorrow? You've already planned it all out?" Song Miqiu asked.

Yu Huailin nodded slightly: "Everything has been planned, so we might not be able to leave tomorrow morning. Could you wait for me?"

Song Miqiu looked down at her hands on the table and did not answer Yu Huailin's question.

"Moreover, I've already thought it through. Prince Jing probably doesn't know that the Emperor is under control yet. If I tell him this, I'm sure I'll win this battle," Yu Huailin said.

"Impressive, Your Highness is indeed impressive. You even speak of such methods as if they were perfectly aboveboard." Song Miqiu smiled.

Yu Huailin deliberately ignored the sarcasm in Song Miqiu's tone and said, "We'll find out sooner or later, and maybe after tomorrow's battle, we won't even need to fight."

"I'm not feeling well and I probably won't be able to leave tomorrow. As for the rest, it's none of my business and you don't need to tell me."

Song Miqiu stood up and walked to the bedside.

She had only taken two steps when Yu Huailin grabbed her in a hug, laughing as he said, "The person you value wouldn't be so despicable. I have my own plans."

You have to trust me, don't overthink things. Wait for me to come back, I still need your help.

After saying that, Yu Huailin kissed Song Miqiu on the forehead and then left. All night he used his lightness skill to run back and forth between Song Miqiu and General Mu.

King Jing led his army to confront General Mu directly, and they attacked simultaneously.

Originally, I thought I would face off against General Mu, but unexpectedly, Yu Huailin suddenly appeared and directly engaged in combat with Prince Jing. The two were evenly matched.

At this moment, Yu Huailin suddenly grabbed Prince Jing's hand and said, "Prince Jing, you probably don't know what's going on in the capital. The Emperor has been controlled by his concubines."
