Compared with previous years' spring banquets, this year's spring banquet is much more lively.

First, there was a fox demon in front of the palace who was committing crimes and taking people's lives, so a team of three awesome people worked together to get rid of the demon; then, a concubine in the harem had a night meeting with a eunuch in a side hall, but who knew that the eunuch was actually a fake prince who had faked his death!

But the so-called shocking melon is so big that it cannot be stewed in one pot.

Under the escort of the immortals and the royal guards in the hall, the Emperor of Western Chu finally escaped from the main hall. However, when he saw the scene of people catching an adulterer in the side hall, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still severely shocked when he saw the two naked people.

He almost fainted.

"Your Majesty!" Fourth Prince Xu Hui was forced to his knees and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I know nothing. This has nothing to do with me!"

After hearing this, Xu Jinglin realized that his biological father was actually going to abandon him and turn him into an abandoned child. He was already terrified and became even more anxious. He threw himself into a desperate situation and shouted:

"Dad, Xu Hui! You are my biological father. How could you abandon me? I am your biological son. You wanted me to ascend the throne. How could you do this?"

Xu Hui almost fainted from anger at what this fool said.

This idiot! How could he not be so inflexible?

If he can get rid of suspicion now, it can save him, but if they are all finished, then everything is over!

But before he could say anything more, the Emperor of Western Chu stepped forward and kicked him mercilessly.

The Emperor of Western Chu practiced martial arts when he was young. Although he is now over fifty years old, his strength has not diminished at all.

The Fourth Prince Xu Hui was kicked several steps away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and it took him a long time to recover.

As for Xu Jinglin, the furious Emperor of Western Chu directly pulled out the sword from the hand of the royal guard beside him and stabbed it into Xu Jinglin's chest, forcing him to see his grandmother on the spot.

As for Concubine Duan, after seeing Xu Jinglin being stabbed to death by the Emperor of Western Chu with a sword, and seeing the warm blood splattering on her body, Concubine Duan's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

And there was the fox demon Azhen, who thought the tyrant was just a mere mortal.

But she didn't expect that when she saw the familiar hand gesture used by monks in the man's hand, she panicked on the spot, her face changed and she fled in panic, but was slapped back to her original form by the tyrant.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Dongminghan City.

Shen Junze, who was lying on the bed drinking medicine, suddenly heard Tianming say in a deep voice:

[Your Highness, there seems to be some unusual movement in the Western Chu royal family]

Hearing this, Shen Junze paused while drinking the medicine.

[Shen Junze: What?]

[Tian Ming: Because my energy will take some time to recover, I don't know exactly what happened in the palace, but the only thing I know is that Xu Jinglin's name is hidden here.]

Before Shen Junze understood what Tianming meant by the system being dark, he heard the system say:

[Only the names of the dead are dark here.]

[Shen Junze: Xu Jinglin is dead?]

[Tian Ming: Not only Xu Jinglin, even as we speak, Concubine Zhen... her name has also been obscured.]

Shen Junze: "..."

He could understand why Concubine Zhen died. After all, as a monster, she openly ate people in the palace. How could she not be discovered by the monks? He had advised her before leaving, but she didn't take it seriously.

But Xu Jinglin is just a mortal, how could he die?

[Shen Junze: Xu Jinglin may be a useless piece, but he's an indispensable chess piece for me. How could he die?]

If he died, then his plan...

[Shen Junze: We must return to the palace!]

Shen Junze felt a sense of panic that he had never felt before.

He always felt that something was slipping away from his hands bit by bit, and if he couldn't catch it, he would lose it completely.

Shen Junze gritted his teeth and got out of bed, but because the injuries he had suffered in the secret valley were too severe, and because he had been concentrating on practicing martial arts in the space given by destiny these days with injuries all over his body, his injuries did not improve.

[Tian Ming: Your Highness, your wounds have not healed yet. Xu Jinglin is already dead. Even if we can rush back, we can't save him.]

Tianming had just finished speaking when Shen Junze, who had just gotten out of bed with great difficulty, fell to the ground before he had taken a few steps.

When Song Li brought food to the man, she saw the man lying on the ground as soon as she opened the door.

"Sir! Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Song Li hurriedly put the noodles in her hand on the table and stepped forward to help the man who had fallen to the ground.

Even though Shen Junze wanted to return to the Xichu Palace very much, the pain in his body told him that it was indeed not suitable for him to move around.

"It was Shen's fault. Thank you for your help, Miss Song." Shen Junze coughed lightly, and a trace of illness appeared on his face.

"You're welcome, sir." After Song Li settled the man down, she brought the noodles she had just placed on the table to him. "You must be hungry, sir. Eat while it's hot."

Under the woman's expectant eyes, Shen Junze thanked her, then took the bowl of noodles and ate it numbly.

While eating, Shen Junze was still wondering where he had gone wrong.

What happened in the palace during his absence? How did Xu Jinglin die?

Could it be that the secret between him and the Fourth Prince was known to the Emperor of Western Chu?

Shen Junze suddenly remembered that on his way to Xianyun Temple, he heard people talking about the so-called awesome trio. It was said that it was these three people who spread the secrets about the Fourth Prince Xu Hui.

[Shen Junze: Tianming, please check again about that awesome trio.]

When he heard on the road that the secret of the Fourth Prince had been exposed, he asked Tianming to check it out, but Tianming could not find any clues about the three-person team.

Since it couldn't be found, it shouldn't be worth mentioning, so he didn't take it to heart at the time.

Now that I think about it, could it be related to these three people?

[Tianming: Your Highness, you mean... you suspect that what happened in the palace is related to these three people.]

Shen Junze: Yes.

[Tian Ming: I just did some research, but I still can't find anything about these three people.]

[Shen Junze: Does it have nothing to do with them?]

"Young Master, Young Master? Young Master?"

Shen Junze was about to daydream when he heard Song Li suddenly calling him.

Shen Junze came back to his senses and looked at the woman in front of him with cold eyes.

Song Li met the man's gaze and blushed. Then she said shyly, "How does it taste? Is it to your liking?"

Shen Junze looked at the shy expression of the woman in front of him, then lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the face that he had unknowingly eaten half of, nodded slightly, and smiled at the woman:

"It's delicious. Thank you Miss Song. I, Shen Jiu, will definitely repay you for your kindness today."
