After the birthday banquet, everyone inside and outside the palace fell into a tense atmosphere.
Everyone was staring at the Ministry of Justice, keeping a close eye on the latest developments regarding the assassination attempt on the Ninth Prince.
However, perhaps the person behind the incident was hiding too deeply, the Ministry of Justice mobilized the entire department, but after spending more than ten days, they were unable to find any evidence.
The emperor flew into a rage in the court, cursing the people in the Ministry of Justice, calling them useless people who only had time to eat and did nothing.
In response to this, all the people in the Ministry of Justice had to bow their heads and stop training. No one dared to offend the emperor at this juncture.
Of course, there are also those who are not afraid of death.
When the emperor angrily scolded the Ministry of Justice and waved his hand to leave the court, a minister from the Ministry of Personnel stood up.
What the minister was talking about was not the fact that the Ninth Prince had already been stabbed, but... the evidence of guilt of the Prince's mother's family, the Xue family.
Buying and selling official positions, the evidence laid out before the court clearly illustrates the current bleak state of the entire Ministry of Personnel.
The prince denied it and said that no one in the Xue family would dare to do such a thing by taking advantage of their power, and that someone must have framed them maliciously.
As soon as the prince finished speaking, under the emperor's sullen expression, another official from the Kyoto city government stepped forward and confessed several crimes committed by the Xue family among the people.
A series of crimes including murdering families, abducting women, etc. were listed clearly.
Then, the Right Prime Minister also stood up and said bluntly that the Xue family's behavior would inevitably cause public outrage.
If God is angry, the country will be in turmoil!
The emperor was already furious about the Ninth Prince, and now the Xue family's affairs have been exposed...
Rumor has it that the emperor suppressed his anger and walked before the prince to ask whether the matter was true or not. The prince looked horrified, but tried his best to shirk responsibility for the Xue family.
In a rage, the emperor kicked the prince to the ground, and the prince fainted on the spot.
When the emperor woke up, he immediately gave the order.
The entire Xue family, including their direct descendants, were imprisoned in the Sky Prison and executed on a chosen day, while the rest were exiled to the border.
The current queen, the daughter of the Xue family, was naturally implicated. A white silk was given, and the ending was already determined.
However... what surprised everyone was that the emperor did not remove the title of crown prince from the eldest prince.
He was only allowed to reflect on his mistakes in the palace and was not allowed to leave without his permission.
Such punishment is really too light compared to the tragic punishment of the Xue family.
The emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess. At this point, everyone is confused. Which prince does the emperor favor?
No one knows, so we can only wait and see.
Liangqiu Fei didn't care how much happened in the court. After the birthday banquet that day, he returned to his residence and continued his idle life day after day.
Apart from the fact that the residence had double the number of guards, which looked an eyesore, everything else was still beautiful.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"rumble!"
The little skeleton held his leg bone in his hand and looked at the collapsed rockery in front of him, with fire flickering in his eyes, "Well, Xiao Jin didn't mean it..."
“Crack!”
Yu Bie Liu kicked Zi Jin away with a sullen face, "Are you planning to bury me?"
Liang Qiu Fei also lowered his eyes to look at the dust in the wine glass, and put it down silently.
Well...ignoring these bad things, it's still beautiful.
But Yu Bie Liu had already appeared next to Zi Jin, grabbed its wrist bone and lifted it up with a cold expression.
Zi Jin looked at the master in front of him with a bitter heart, and his voice was mixed with a bit of coquettishness, "Master, please forgive Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin Gang was the one who was careless..."
Yu Bie Liu curled her lips and was about to say something, but suddenly, her expression froze.
He glanced at Feizi, who was calmly dusting himself off, and sneered at Zijin, "Let you go? Oh, it's too late!"
After saying this, he ignored Liangqiu Feiye and took Zijin directly into the tomb palace.
After brushing off the dust on his body, Liang Qiu Fei also looked up. When he didn't see the female corpse and Zi Jin, he realized that the two must have gone back.
He turned around indifferently and left.
Things like sudden disappearance and sudden reappearance have happened frequently from the beginning to now. He has become accustomed to it and is no longer scared.
Halfway from the garden to his palace, he met an acquaintance.
Wang Xiaoyu was walking with a bitter face under the protection of the guards. When she saw Liangqiu Feiye, she took a step and wanted to run towards him.
"Fei... No, Ninth Prince! Your Highness!"
Just as Wang Xiaoyu was about to rush forward, the guards on both sides grabbed one of his arms and held him down forcefully.
"...What's going on?" Liang Qiufei also walked over slowly and asked with raised eyebrows.
The guard on the left looked serious, "Your Highness, the Emperor wants us to protect your safety!"
Wang Xiaoyu swung his chubby body and broke free from the two guards. "Don't you know I'm a friend of the Ninth Prince? Even if you want to harm him, I won't!"
The two guards had serious expressions on their faces, turned a deaf ear to Wang Xiaoyu's words, and continued to stare at him.
"Step back, he is indeed my friend!" Liang Qiufei said lightly, gave Wang Xiaoyu a look, and continued walking towards the palace.
However, after Wang Xiaoyu took a step, the two guards followed.
Liang Qiufei's face darkened as well. He stopped and sneered, "Guard? Is that the only way you can guard?"
The two guards nodded and stood still, showing no intention of retreating.
His eyes flickered, and Liang Qiu Fei took another step forward, but chose to ignore the two people.
Wang Xiaoyu was puzzled. He looked around at Liangqiu Feiye and the guards, as if he had thought of something. Then he suddenly realized something and kept silent.
The two walked in front, and the guards followed them. However, a black silk thread floated out from Wang Xiaoyu's sleeves and wrapped around the two guards.
Invisible energy dissipated, and the two guards felt a tightness in their chests, their thoughts stopped instantly, and their faces turned blue and black.
Two "thump" sounds of people falling to the ground were heard. Liang Qiufei paused, then continued walking.
They walked all the way to the main hall, entered, and drove the palace maids away. Only then did Liang Qiu Fei look at Wang Xiaoyu.
"What is the reason for looking for me this time?"
Wang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I'm not looking for you, it's... my master!"
"Oh?" Liang Qiufei also raised an eyebrow. "Are you not afraid now? Do you accept it?"
The last time Wang Xiaoyu came to see him, she was talking about the Snake Demon Song.
At that time, he was still worried that he would be eaten by the snake demon, so he ran to him to seek advice.
It wasn't long before the little fat boy had completely accepted the fact that he had a monster master.
"Ah, this," Wang Xiaoyu smiled, "I just feel that my master treats me better than the one next to you, so I... uh, Brother Fei, that's not what I meant, please don't mind!"
Liang Qiufei also had a blank expression on her face, and even wanted to slap him. You didn’t mean that, what did you mean?
Before Wang Xiaoyu could explain clearly, a small black snake as thick as a finger crawled out along his wrist.
