Chapter 87: Shocked by the Heaven

Zhao Jingxing gently put Xie Anci into the warm quilt.

The dim candlelight flickered, shining on the man's angular face, making his features more deep and three-dimensional.

Zhao Jingxing pinched his eyebrows and took out the green jade pendant from his arms. This was given to him by Xie Anci.

He had been busy seizing the throne in the past few years, and now he finally stood firm in the Cangyue Kingdom, so he hurried back to pick up Xie Anci.

I didn't expect so many things to happen in these years. The boy who was as gentle as jade turned into a regent who was decisive and murderous, and he was no longer as naive as before.

He had been living a life of blood on the edge of a knife all these years, and he would die if he was not careful.

But now it's all right, he will get back everything that belongs to him.

Zhao Jingxing gently stroked Xie Anci's face, and his fingertips covered with thin silk smears rubbed against Xie Anci's face, making him unable to help but curl up in the quilt.

Zhao Jingxing chuckled and let go of Xie Anci.

My brother is still as cute as before.

In order to avoid more nightmares, Zhao Jingxing planned to let Xie Anci meet "Li Jinchen" today and send him away.

Zhao Jingxing thought about it, and sent someone to ask Li Yunhuai to come over, and he lay down beside Xie Anci quietly.

A huge change happened overnight, and Xie You and Pei Xuan didn't know that Xie Anci was taken away until the next day.

The two men's faces were livid. Looking at the empty cell, Xie You couldn't help but kicked the brazier next to him, sparks flying everywhere.

"Do you know where your godfather was taken?" Xie You asked with a frown.

"I don't know, they didn't tell me." Lu Yunzheng shook his head, feeling extremely guilty. He was too weak, so weak that he couldn't protect the Regent.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill Li Jinchen now!" Xie You shouted angrily, turned around and was about to leave.

Pei Xuan immediately stopped him, "Calm down, don't talk nonsense."

"What should we do? It will be troublesome if our godfather is in danger." Xie You scratched his head, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"But Master Zhou Yunqing might know. He was there last night too, but later he said he went to see the emperor and hasn't seen him since." Lu Yunzheng remembered the only clue and quickly told the two of them.

"Zhou Yunqing..." Xie You thought about it and always felt that this man was not a good person, but this was the only clue, so he had to go find him first.

"I'll go find him now." Xie You turned and left. Pei Xuan was stunned when he saw the impetuous Xie You, and he returned to Xingyan Palace.

Pei Lin was stunned for a moment when he saw Pei Xuan, "Master, why did you come back so early today?"

Pei Lin blinked. Doesn't the master usually stay for half a day?

"The Regent King was taken away and his whereabouts are unknown." Pei Xuan's face was as cold as ice, and his voice was as cold as the winter wind.

"Ah? Who took him away? What should we do?" Pei Lin glanced at Pei Xuan cautiously. Sure enough, his master's mood couldn't be worse.

"The emperor sent someone to take him away. Even if we go to ask him, he may not see us." Pei Xuan remembered that he had been turned down several times before, and his thoughts were instantly put to rest.

"Lin'er, go get the compass." Pei Xuan said and hurried into the palace.

Pei Lin looked embarrassed: "No, Master, you want to deduce?"

Pei Xuan did not answer, but walked to the table and sat down.

Pei Lin knew that his master had made up his mind, so he did not dare to say anything more, and hurried to get the compass.

Pei Xuan took the compass, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and muttered something. As he moved, the needle on the compass began to spin rapidly.

After a moment, Pei Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his face turned pale, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Master!" Pei Lin exclaimed.

Pei Xuan waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

"I have a clue, I need to leave the palace." Pei Xuan frowned and said.

"Ah? Master, I'll go with you." Pei Lin said, preparing things in a panic.

"No need, I can go by myself, bring me my sword." Pei Xuan got on the horse that Pei Lin led him, his tone cold and hard.

He had to go quickly, otherwise his position might move.

Pei Xuan could only deduce three times a day at most, which was too harmful to his body.

"Yes." Pei Lin hurriedly took out Pei Xuan's sword.

Pei Xuan's sword is called White Snake. It is snow-white, with a blue gemstone on the hilt and an extremely sharp blade.

Pei Xuan took the sword and rode away.

Xie You searched the entire palace but couldn't find Zhou Yunqing. Instead, he met Gu Lingyu outside the palace.

Gu Lingyu told Xie You about the matter. Xie You couldn't stand the wait and mobilized the little beggars in the capital to find Xie Anci's whereabouts.

Xie Anci didn't know that several people were looking for him crazy, and he woke up slowly from his sleep.

His body seemed to be torn into pieces. Xie Anci didn't say a word, just staring blankly at the curtains on the top of the bed.

Zhao Jingxing was not in the room at this time, but a young man walked in whistling.

The young man was holding the plate, and when he saw Xie Anci wake up, he raised his eyebrows.

"Awake? Eat." The young man put the plate next to Xie Anci, and couldn't help whistling when he saw Xie Anci's appearance. No wonder their emperor couldn't forget her.

Good-looking, very good-looking.

Forgive Jiang Li for his poor vocabulary, he really hasn't read any books, there is probably a word that suits him very well.

Astonished by the beauty.

Jiang Li nodded, thinking that he used this word very well.

"Where is he?" Xie Anci didn't move, his voice was hoarse.

"He will be here soon, don't worry." Jiang Li poured him a cup of tea because Xie Anci was a great beauty.

Xie Anci got up with difficulty. The tea was still cold, and he sobered up instantly after taking a sip.

Li Yunhuai in the next room had a sullen face. He had not slept all night to find Zhou Yunqing, and was called by Zhao Jingxing early in the morning.

"I called you here to meet Xie Anci. You pretend to be Li Jinchen. Do you know what to do?" Zhao Jingxing tapped the table with his fingers, which made Li Yunhuai even more irritated.

But he did not dare to be presumptuous, so he nodded in agreement.

"Got it." Li Yunhuai said, "There's one more thing. Someone found out that I'm not Li Jinchen."

"Who?" Zhao Jingxing frowned. Although it didn't affect him much, he couldn't help but curse "waste" in his heart.

"Zhou Yunqing, the legitimate son of Grand Tutor Zhou." Li Yunhuai lowered his eyes, full of regret.

"Wouldn't it be better to go back and kill Li Jinchen? Then you would be the emperor with full legitimacy." Zhao Jingxing said indifferently.

Li Yunhuai's eyes lit up: "I know what to do."

"Well, let's go." Zhao Jingxing took Li Yunhuai to Xie Anci's room, and Jiang Li obediently stepped aside.

"Anci, don't you want to see Li Jinchen? He's here." Zhao Jingxing chuckled, with a determined light in his eyes.

A hand gently lifted the curtain on the bed, and Xie Anci's beautiful face appeared in front of several people.

Li Yunhuai and Xie Anci were both startled.

While Xie Anci was looking at Li Yunhuai, Li Yunhuai was also looking at Xie Anci.
