After the black shadow disappeared, it headed straight towards the post station outside the palace in Kyoto.

At the post station, the envoys from the Yunguang Kingdom had also arrived. The locations of the Yunguang Kingdom and the Tianxi Kingdom were exactly to the south and north of each other. At this moment, the black shadow was heading towards the north of the envoys from the Yunguang Kingdom.

In the north courtyard, a man in a black robe with gold and silver threads outlined and a four-clawed giant python showed his noble status. The war god of Yuanguang Kingdom, Situ Xunxiao, had a face as cold and stern as if carved by a knife, and a hint of mockery on his tightly pursed thin lips.

The guards following him were all fully alert, waiting for their master's call.

At this moment, Situ Xunxiao's slender body was half lying on the rocking chair. In front of the rocking chair, a man was kneeling tremblingly below.

Situ Xunxiao did not say anything, but the guards who had been with him for many years understood that whenever the master behaved like this, it was truly the calm before the storm. However, looking at the guards kneeling on the ground, there was no sympathy on the guards' faces, but anger.

Time passed drop by drop, but Situ Xunxiao just rocked the rocking chair, staring at the person on the ground without saying a word. Such a suppressed atmosphere was completely contained in the small area of ​​the courtyard, which made people feel uneasy.

The guard's persistence did not last long. Under the pressure in his heart, he finally spoke timidly: "Master, I am guilty. Please forgive me."

However, the person lying on the rocking chair remained silent and indifferent.

The guards were frightened by the thought of keeping silent, and they kept knocking their heads, "Master, I was greedy for a moment, and I am willing to do the work and take the responsibility myself, please..."

"Do you want me to let your family and wife go?" The rocking chair stopped as Situ Xunxiao sat up suddenly and landed steadily on the ground. Situ Xunxiao clasped his hands together and smiled, his eyes not reaching his eyes. "You trembled and confessed your guilt sincerely, but you were afraid of implicating your wife. Am I right?"

Situ Xunxiao's words made the person kneeling on the ground stiffen his back.

"If you betrayed me, you should take the consequences. As long as I am alive, your fate will be dire, and your relatives will surely die." Situ Xunxiao looked at the guards on the ground with cold eyes. He had no sadness or regret, as if the person who betrayed him was not his confidant, and as if this betrayal was commonplace.

The words were spoken coldly, without any humanity or warmth.

"Your Highness, I was bewildered for a moment. I know I was wrong. Even if I have to be chopped to pieces, I am willing to bear the consequences. Please have mercy on me!" The servant kowtowed to Situ Xunxiao. Although he had been with the prince for a short time, he knew very well that his master had a clear distinction between love and hate. If his family members fell into the hands of the master, the consequences would be...

"Really?" He asked in a very slow tone, with a hint of sarcasm.

Situ Xunxiao stood up quickly and took a step forward, looking down at the man who had lost his cool and composure like a king. His eyes swept towards the captain of the guards, Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao, who received instructions from his master, walked to Situ Xunxiao's side and accused the guards, "You still refuse to repent. Do you think that the master only caught you as a traitor? Do you think that we secret guards are just famous for nothing? The reason you betrayed your master was because your parents and wife kept saying that the prince was a monster and wanted you to take the prince's life in exchange for a reward? Who is the person who gave you the plan? I'm afraid you know it very well! If you were a little later, the prince would be poisoned and there would be no way to save him. People who are treacherous and repay kindness with enmity are simply not worthy of being human."

The words of the guard captain Qin Xiao made the traitorous guard collapse to the ground, and he closed his eyes in pain. He should have known that it would not take long for the master to know the truth, but he did not know that the master would know the truth so quickly, so quickly that he would not have time to evacuate his family.

"I never thought that a mere three hundred taels would be enough to make you betray me and take my life, huh?" Situ Xunxiao spoke again, the ruthlessness in his eyes was chilling, like a devil from hell, ruthless and cold-blooded.

The dark blue pupils became enchanting as Situ Xunxiao's eyes flashed with fierceness.

The guard opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth in fear and horror. His expression was as if he had seen a monster, which made Situ Xunxiao's anger surge.

The captain of the guards, Qin Xiao, looked at the traitor of his master with fear and trepidation, as if he were a demon, but the rage in his heart was even higher than that of Situ Xunxiao.

He knows best what his master has experienced over the years.

But the man in front of him, the one the master had saved personally, almost at the cost of his own life, was actually an ungrateful person. To the master, the secret guards were the only ones he trusted, and although the master was stern and cold, and never showed any emotion, he actually regarded them as brothers.

"Your Highness, for such a traitor, I think his wife and daughter should be made official prostitutes, and his other relatives should be demoted to slavery." The chief guard said to Situ Xunxiao.

"You! You are a devil! A monster!" While Situ Xunxiao frowned briefly, the guard's fear of him, because it involved his family, overwhelmed his fear, and he was about to pounce on Situ Xunxiao like crazy.

However, Situ Xunxiao dodged easily and hit the guard's back with his palm. There was a crisp cracking sound, which was the sound of a broken shoulder.

“Since you knew that I am a demon, then when you set a trap for me, intended to harm me, put me to death, and falsely conveyed my orders, causing the death and serious injuries of the guards, you should have known how ruthless and bloody demons and monsters are.” Situ Xunxiao attacked the man who was unwilling to give up and pestered him. He did not even appreciate his mercy. The guards who were shocked and suffered a severe heart attack were unable to get up.

"Take him away. I don't want to see him again."

The captain of the guards quickly took the man away, far away from where Situ Xunxiao was. Several secret guards could not hide their anger and said to the guards: "Even if the prince is kind and wants him to die, this is too easy for him!"

"That's right, boss. Think about it, what was the end of the prince's mercy six years ago?" another guard reminded.

"Death is sometimes not necessarily the worst thing. He has to watch himself and his loved ones suffer day and night because of the consequences caused by the seller's pursuit of glory. Who will suffer?" Several secret guards echoed.

The chief guard nodded and said, "I will take care of this matter myself."

At this moment, the black shadow that disappeared from Cuiyun Palace also appeared in the North Courtyard.

"Master!" A female voice came from under the black veil. Her eyes also fell on the traitor on the ground, with cold disdain.

"How?" Although Situ Xunxiao's tone did not change, anxiety flashed across his eyes very quickly.

"In reply to the master, Phantom followed the master's request. I only saw the maid of the second princess Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who had the characteristics the master described."

"Oh?" Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did you find out anything else?"

"I only know that she is Qingqing, the trusted maid of the Second Princess of Luozha. After being rescued by the Second Princess, she has been with her all the time, no matter life or death."

Phantom's words made Situ Xunxiao whisper: "She is actually a loyal maidservant who protects her master. This is quite rare. I remember that the second princess of Luozha Kingdom, although her biological mother was favored, her life was not easy either."

"Yes! Today, all the members of the Shangguan family were imprisoned, and the daughter of the Shangguan family, Concubine Lixian, was sentenced to death. What my subordinates have found out is that Concubine Lixian was exposed for poisoning the second princess and had evil intentions." Phantom recounted the information he had found out in the harem of Luozha Kingdom today.

Situ Xunxiao nodded without saying anything else. He just lay back in the rocking chair, half-closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

In my memory, the little girl was fearless in the face of death, was it because she lived on the edge of a knife every day? The poison was also because Concubine Li Xian gave Zong Zheng Xiao Ting the drug, and innocent people were affected.

Thinking of the incident of the poison attack that day, Situ Xunxiao frowned.

And at this moment, inside Cuiyun Palace.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned and listened to Doctor Chen's past and transactions without saying a word.
