Chapter 764 - the dust settles

n

n“Xia chengkun is not a good judge of character. He indirectly caused the deaths of countless officials and wealthy merchants. He also threw the face of the royal family, stripped King Long ‘an of his title, and stripped him of his status as a Prince. Without my permission, he is not allowed to take a single step out of the mansion!” He Dabao’s eyes were filled with mockery as he coldly spoke.

n

nHe closed the Imperial edict.

n

nShe looked at him coldly.

n

n“Receive the decree!”

n

nThe ninth Prince stood up from the ground and accepted the Imperial edict calmly.

n

n“You didn’t expect this, did you? Retribution actually came so quickly! A moment ago, he was the high and mighty ninth Prince, King Long an, but the next second, he’s a prisoner. ” He Dabao sneered and continued to trample on his dignity.

n

n“I’m indeed a dog, but at least I have freedom and a bit of power. I’m much better than you, a cripple. ”

n

nHe smiled complacently and left with his men.

n

nThey left the hall.

n

n“Guard this place well, don’t let even a fly in.”

n

nThe door closed from the outside.

n

nThe ninth Prince’s eyes were cold as he looked at the Imperial edict in his hand. He then looked toward the Imperial Palace.

n

n“Why are you doing this? No matter what, I’m still your flesh and blood. Even if you drive me out of the capital, it’s still better than imprisoning me. ”

n

nThe force on his palm gradually increased.

n

nHe held the Imperial edict tightly.

n

nHe scratched a mark on it and only stopped when he was about to tear the Imperial edict.

n

n“You know? Actually, this King has not lost yet. Do you all think that this King has used up all his trump cards? I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you guys. Let’s just watch a song and see who will have the last laugh!”

n

nThe Imperial Palace.

n

nIn the Imperial study.

n

nThe Imperial court was closed today, and there was no morning assembly.

n

nHowever, there were still a lot of government affairs. Emperor Sheng Wen had a simple breakfast in the morning and then dealt with the official Affairs here. He had only just finished reviewing the memorials that had piled up like a small mountain.

n

nHe put down his pen.

n

nHe took the snow ginseng tea from eunuch Zhu and gently closed the lid. He took a sip and handed the cup over. Then, he took a piece of white Lotus cake and ate it.

n

nHe finished eating.

n

nHe wiped the remaining pastry from his mouth.

n

n“Did I fail?”

n

n“The ninth Prince failed, but Princess Wei Wei is dead.” Eunuch Zhu said.

n

nHer life Jade tablet was still in the palace.

n

nThe moment she committed suicide, the Jade tablet of life she left in the palace shattered. Eunuch Zhu also received the news at the first moment.

n

n“Who killed him?” Emperor Sheng Wen was stunned.

n

n“They’re not our people. ” Eunuch Zhu shook his head.

n

n“According to the intelligence Department, Princess Wei Wei tried to break into the monolith heaven-guarding formation, but she was heavily injured by the ninth Prince and escaped with a secret technique. After that, the North Sea Dragon race chased after the dream blood demon and the other two. Our people aren’t proficient in earth-type abilities, so we lost track of them after we entered the ground. ”

n

nHe told her his guess.

n

n“This old servant surmises that it should be this Clansman from the northern Sea Dragon race who killed him.”

n

n“That five-clawed Golden Dragon?”

n

n“Yes.” Eunuch Zhu replied.

n

n“The North Sea Dragon race is really bold. They actually dared to release a five-clawed Golden Dragon that hasn’t even grown up yet. Aren’t they afraid of being killed outside?”

n

n“This old servant has already sent people to pursue him. We’ll do our best to capture him!”

n

n“Yes.” Emperor Sheng Wen nodded in satisfaction.

n

nHis expression darkened.

n

n“What a pity! If we don’t capture her personally, we won’t be able to find out the Empress’s whereabouts from her. ”

n

n“The Empress is blessed by the heavens and will definitely be safe and sound.”

n

n“How is ninth brother’s reaction now?” Emperor Sheng Wen asked again.

n

nHe hesitated for a moment.

n

nEunuch Zhu still told him about the ninth Prince’s current situation.

n

nThrough he Dabao’s oral account, he exaggerated and exaggerated.

n

n“You should take care of your subordinates. Don’t let your own people not know when they have been infiltrated.” Emperor Sheng Wen said.

n

n“Don’t worry, Your Majesty! This old servant will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

n

n“Ninth brother is right. No matter how unbearable he is, he is still my Prince. How can he be humiliated by a dog? After the interrogation is over, deal with him and his family outside the palace. ”

n

n“It’s Your Majesty!” Eunuch Zhu replied respectfully.

n

n“Ninth brother has done a good job this time. His character and tactics are up to standard. He still dared to put up a fight in a desperate situation. He didn’t lose face for me.”

n

nHe paused for a moment.

n

nEmperor Sheng Wen shook his head again.

n

n“But I’ve already given him a chance. A failure is a failure. If he can’t even break through the current situation to make me Crown Prince, how can he break through the situation when he faces more people joining hands in the future? And how would he lead great Xia to rise? Sweep across the Zhou nation, exterminate the foreign races, and unify the fantasy realm continent? To make Xia country a Supreme existence?”

n

nEunuch Zhu couldn’t respond to this, nor did he dare to.

n

n“Your Majesty, are you really not going to give the ninth Prince any chance?” Eunuch Zhu asked after a moment of silence.

n

n“Too many officials have died this time. Old sixteen and the others have also died. This is a good opportunity to attack him. Whether it’s public or private, someone has to be responsible for this matter.”

n

nHis index finger tapped on the Dragon Throne.

n

n“What do you think about Ji Dongyang’s matter?”

n

n“Is Lei Yuantai still waiting outside?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

n“Let him in!” Emperor Sheng Wen said.

n

nEunuch Zhu passed down the order, and soon the door of the hall opened from the outside, and Lei Yuantai walked in.

n

n“Your Majesty!”

n

n“Yes.” Emperor Sheng Wen replied calmly.

n

nLei Yuantai selectively told him about Ji Dongyang’s matter. According to Ji Dongyang’s previous words, he was not from great Xia, but a spy planted by the royal family of Zhou.

n

nThey wanted to use the bride (the maid) to control the ninth Prince and help him become the Crown Prince. Then, they would control him until the Zhou Kingdom completely annexed the great Xia.
