Ah Xin turned around in confusion: "Princess Chonghe, is there anything else you need?"

Ji Fengyao took out two jade slips engraved with small protective arrays from her storage ring. These jade slips were researched in her spare time and could withstand three attacks from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She liked the boy Xiao Shisan very much and had originally prepared a piece for him.

But she left Beijing in such a hurry that she didn't have time to send it to Xiao Shisan.

Throughout the journey, she was still worried that the Empress might harm the thirteenth prince; but coincidentally, Consort Yin was so capable that she sent someone to inform them.

Since Consort Yin insisted on forming a good relationship with her and Shang Xiye, she was also given a piece, in case the Empress went mad and poisoned Consort Yin.

Without Consort Yin's protection, the thirteenth prince was still young and would not have been able to protect himself.

"Take these two jade slips and these bottles of medicine back to the Imperial Concubine and the Thirteenth Prince. The effects and usage of the medicines are written on the bottles. Just wipe the bottle with the water from this blue bottle and the effects will appear. They are not usually visible." Ji Fengyao took the items out and placed them on the table.

Bai Lu cleverly took a finely embroidered brocade bag, put the contents inside, and handed it to A Xin.

Reciprocating with gifts signifies goodwill.

Ah Xin was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude: "This humble servant dares to thank the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess for their gifts on behalf of the Thirteenth Prince. The Imperial Concubine will also be very pleased to see these."

"Alright, these are all ordinary things, not worth mentioning," Ji Fengyao waved her hand, her smile charming, and said, "Go back quickly, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be for you."

"Thank you, Ninth Prince, thank you, Ninth Princess. I'll take my leave now," Ah Xin said, expressing his gratitude as he retreated towards the door.

Suddenly, Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao's expressions changed simultaneously.

As soon as Ah-Xin stepped out the door, he felt the scenery in the courtyard blur before his eyes, and his collar tightened around his neck, lifting him up completely.

But before he could feel suffocation, his feet had already touched the ground.

His men had already reached the entrance of the courtyard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three deafening roars then rang out behind him, shaking the ground.

Ah Xin turned his head slightly and saw Shang Xiye standing calmly beside him.

It seems that the person who just brought him over was Shang Xiye.

He turned around and looked back. He saw that the ground outside the main gate of the courtyard, which was originally flat, now had a large pit about one meter in diameter. There were faint arcs of electricity flashing in the pit, and blue smoke was rising from the bottom of the pit.

Ashin felt a chill run down his spine.

After the Ninth Prince left the capital, various speculations and legends arose in the city regarding his departure.

One theory suggests that the Ninth Prince was indeed a traitor.

Because when he was on a campaign against the Di Kingdom, he was struck by lightning in the street in the capital; even Heaven could not bear to see this and sent lightning to eliminate the harm and warn the world.

Could it be that even Heaven cannot tolerate his "collusion with traitors" and has set its sights on him as well?

Ashin pouted, wanting to cry but unable to.

I'm just a delivery person, I'm so scared, boohoo...

Shang Xiye stared at the large crater struck by lightning, his brows furrowed. Ever since the day Wuying caused a ruckus in the palace by drawing lightning, the tribulation lightning that struck him from the sky had become more and more frequent and intense.

Until recently, it has been splitting almost every two days;

Moreover, the number of lightning bolts that descended increased from one to three, which was clearly intended to take his life!

What heinous crime did he commit in his past life that made Heaven so resentful of him?

Why go to such lengths and effort to get rid of him?
