Chapter 40



Su Qingning thought about it carefully and felt that the man's clothes looked a bit like those of the royal guards of Beili Kingdom.

Seeing him flash into a closet far away, he teleported to the roof of the closet and quietly lifted a tile to check what was going on underneath.

The room was dimly lit and filled with smoke.

After the man entered, he found a seat and sat down without any greeting.

The prince who sat above him no longer had the tension of the past few days. Instead, he trembled visibly, as if he was very afraid of this man.

The Beili man had an extremely arrogant look on his face, looking at the Daqian Crown Prince in front of him as if he were looking at a pitiful slug.

I was too lazy to bother with him and just got straight to the point:

"Prince, you promised our Regent that you would get rid of Xiao Huaishuo at the beginning of the year. It's already June, how come he is still alive?"

The prince seemed a little nervous and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"I...I really tried my best. We had fabricated evidence of his treason. It would be wrong to sentence all nine clans to death for such a serious crime. But the emperor likes to hear people praise his kindness and generosity."

"That's why we planned to exile him first and then ambush him on the road. That's why we let him live a little longer."

"You... just relax. We have arranged several groups of people to wait for him on the road. He will definitely be able to reach Lingnan safely!"

The Beili man snorted coldly, obviously believing his words too much.

"Within a month, our Regent must hear the news that Xiao Huaishuo is dead."

"Don't forget who helped you to sit on the throne of the crown prince. We have the ability to put you on the throne, so we naturally have the ability to pull you down!"

His words seemed to have suddenly touched the prince's sore spot.

The rabbit bites when it is anxious!

The prince was instantly furious, and his fat body was shaking.

"You...you are threatening me?!"

"I finally understand. You guys are not helping me at all! If you really wanted to help me, you would have taken advantage of the fact that our Daqian was dealing with Xiao Huaishuo and the border troops were dispersing to attack the northern border and occupy a city in our Daqian!"

The prince became more and more excited as he spoke. He picked up the teacup and threw it to the ground with a bang.

"You...you have been using me from the beginning to the end! You helped me take the throne just to make me your puppet!!!"

“Heh~”

The Beili people were too lazy to talk to him anymore, and a blade flew out with a flick of his finger. After grazing the prince's scalp, it embedded into the wall behind him with a "bang".

The prince suddenly felt a chill on his head. His well-maintained hair fell off and covered his head and face.

"ah--"

"What do you want to do? You are so brave! How dare you murder the heir to the throne!"

The prince only felt a chilling murderous intent suddenly attacking him, which frightened him so much that he ran away in panic.

All the loose hair fell during the struggle, and the shiny floor shone brightly under the candlelight.

When the Beili man saw his stupid look, he couldn't help sneering.

"So what if I use you? You should be thankful that you are still useful now. The moment you are no longer useful, that will be your death."

He said this in a very calm tone, as if he was merely announcing the death of an ant.

The prince felt a chill rising from his feet to his head. He couldn't hold back and some yellow liquid leaked out of his lower body.

"You...you, don't forget that I am the prince of Daqian after all. You have dealt with me privately. If my emperor knows about it, you will all die miserably!!!"

"Oh!"

The man had a strange expression on his face, as if he had no patience to say anything more to him. He sneered and warned:

"Don't forget, we have a lot of leverage over you. If I give any one of them to your good emperor, it will be enough for him to demote you to a commoner and cut off all ties with you forever!"

"Within a month, our Regent King must see Xiao Huaishuo's head. Otherwise..."

"Bang--"

The Beili man waved his sleeves, and the tea table beside the prince broke into two pieces, splashing sawdust all over his head and face.

“Hmm…Hmm…”

“This is what happens to you.”

He left these words coldly, then did not stay any longer and walked out the window.

The Beili man was very skilled in martial arts. He seemed to sense breathing sounds on the roof and took a special look at the roof before leaving.

Fortunately, Su Qingning had participated in countless dangerous missions in his previous life, which made him extremely vigilant and he hid in the space in advance.

When the man saw that there was nothing unusual on the roof, he floated out of the palace as if he were in a deserted place.

It was not until the man had gone far away that Su Qingning appeared again, with a thoughtful look on his face.

According to the description in the original book, the old emperor would die suddenly after a certain period of time, and then pass the throne to the prince.

After this dog prince came to power, he announced several extremely stupid imperial decrees in succession, causing the people of Daqian to be in misery and corpses to be everywhere.

When she watched that part of the plot, she was so angry that she cursed the prince for being stupid and wanting to destroy the great Daqian Empire.

Now it seems that although this dog prince does have something in his head, those imperial edicts must have been forced by the Regent King of Beili Kingdom to issue him.

Their purpose is to use the puppet of the prince to completely destroy the Daqian Kingdom, and then march straight down to completely occupy the Daqian country!

She remembered that a few years later, the Great Qian Kingdom was wiped out by the prince's bullying and half of its population was wiped out.

This Beili Regent King is really calculating. In order to gain more power for himself, he is willing to destroy the lives of millions of people in Daqian!

Su Qingning simply wanted to bury these scumbags.

But she knew clearly that all parties were eyeing the Xiao family covetously.

The most labor-saving method for himself is to keep these people alive first, instigate various forces to fight each other, let them fight each other, and then he and the Xiao family will reap the benefits.

I had no choice but to suppress my anger and let these scum live a few more days.

"Bang--"

"Ding-dong-dong--"

Suddenly, there was a series of sounds of porcelain breaking in the room.

Su Qingning looked down and saw that the dog prince had fallen to the ground, his whole body twitching, his legs hanging upright like a chicken's, his eyes rolled up, and foam coming out of his mouth.

The personal eunuch 껩 discovered the prince's abnormality and knew that he was overly frightened and had an epilepsy.

He dared not speak out, so he had to ask the eunuch behind him to quickly get the pills.

Su Qingning listened to their conversation and suddenly remembered a plot in the original book. Then he appeared on the top of the alchemy house in a flash.

As soon as I got closer, I heard the low cries of boys and girls and the sound of chains rubbing from the huge yard.

Smoke was rising from the alchemy room, and the sound of someone's deliberately suppressed conversation could be faintly heard.

"Did Dahua complain of stomachache this morning? Come, take off your clothes and let uncle check you out~"

Su Qingning lifted a tile and saw a middle-aged man in Taoist robes with an extremely obscene expression trying to pull the clothes of a six or seven-year-old girl in front of him.

The girl shrank back in fear, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"But... Mother... Mother said that I can't take off my clothes in front of others..."

"How can uncle be a native?"

Seeing that the girl was unmoved, the fake Taoist continued to deceive her:

"Dahua, are you homesick? Just do as your uncle says, and I will take you to find your mother tomorrow."

"You...you didn't lie to me?"

"How could uncle lie to you? Take off your clothes quickly and let uncle check you. When uncle cures your illness, I will take you home."

The little girl seemed a little hesitant, but she missed her mother so much that she reluctantly reached out to untie her belt.

The original book mentioned that a Taoist priest under the prince used the sacrifice of one hundred boys and girls to refine a life-saving elixir with miraculous effects for the prince.

I didn't expect that this fake Taoist priest was bullying young boys and girls under the guise of refining elixirs!

Su Qingning was so angry that she vented out all the anger she had just been holding back because she hadn't gotten rid of the dog prince.

He jumped into the house, took out a machete from the space and cut off the head of the fake Taoist priest.

"puff--"

Hot blood spurted out, staining half of the wall red.

The little girl paused while undressing, wondering why the strange uncle suddenly fell down.

Su Qingning waved her hand, sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills on her, and settled her into the space. He planned to send her back after emptying the palace.

But at this moment, I heard noisy footsteps coming from the door.

"Master Ling Xiao! Our prince is ill again. Hurry up and give me the elixir you prepared!"

The young eunuch was so anxious that he tried to push the door of the alchemy room where Su Qingning was staying!
