Wu Qing's white and tender hands stopped in front of Prince Ding.

Ten thousand taels of silver?

The two princes, who were not yet financially free, were shocked by this astronomical figure.

With so much money, why buy something else but a sword?

Could it be that Lady Ji saw that Uncle Eight was interested in the Seven Sacred Swords and was taking advantage of Uncle Eight?

Wu Qing enthusiastically promoted the sword: "Your Highness, although few people can hold this sword and it cannot be swung, it is no different from scrap metal, but there is only one in the world!"

The Second Prince couldn't help but interrupt: "My Lord, according to what you said, this so-called Evil-Breaking Sword is just flashy and has no practical value? Don't cheat my Eighth Uncle."

In the eyes of the Second Prince, Prince Ding usually spends a lot of money and he certainly doesn't have so much cash.

Buying antiques, calligraphy and paintings is enough to spend money, and my uncle often travels outside Beijing and travels around the south of the Yangtze River on a painted boat.

The second prince thought that his eighth uncle might not be as rich as he was.

"Why is it useless?"

Wu Qing raised his eyebrows and said unconvincedly: "You can show it off. Third among the Seven Sacred Swords, how impressive!"

"It's just that this sword is too heavy. Your Majesty may not be able to lift it."

Wu Qing smiled and said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, a thief broke into my bedroom last night and tried to steal the sword."

"The funny thing is, even after I handed the sword to him, his hand couldn't bear the weight of the Evil-Breaking Sword and broke instantly."

"Alas, such a useless person dares to steal. I wonder who is behind this? They actually sent such a useless person here."

"If you want, it's better to find a few more people to help you carry it out, otherwise I'm afraid you might get hurt."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ding's eyes flashed with complex emotions, as if he was thinking about something.

The eldest prince asked anxiously: "Your Excellency was attacked last night? Why did I hear that it was a servant who betrayed the master..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

At noon, he returned to the prince's residence with the second prince and asked his servants about what had happened that morning.

The message was roughly the same.

It was only said that it was Ji Guiren's former servant who betrayed his master, sneaked into Kunning Palace late at night, cast a killing spell on Ji Guiren, and has now been beaten to death with sticks.

If it is really just a matter of a palace maid, is it necessary for the Queen Mother to resume paying her respects?

It is very likely that Zhitao is just a cover-up, and the real murderer behind the scenes is someone else.

Wu Qing was surprised: "You don't know?"

She looked at the second prince and asked, "You don't know either?"

The princes nodded in unison.

Wu Qing thought silently: [The news was blocked so quickly, it seems that Concubine Li was really saved. ]

[Interesting, I wonder how Concubine De persuaded the Queen Mother to keep her. ]

These thoughts just flashed through Wu Qing's mind.

On the surface, Wu Qingze coughed and said seriously: "Children should not meddle in adult affairs."

It is obvious that Ji Guiren is only a few years older than them, but he always relies on his seniority to make things right.

The princes all curled their lips: "...You are so annoying."

It doesn’t matter. Now they know that the murderer behind the scenes is Concubine Li.

Wu Qing had a bitter face.

She complained, "I was extremely unlucky last night. In the first half of the night, a man in black came in and stole my sword. In the second half of the night, a palace maid came into my room and sprinkled human blood and incense ashes."

"Why don't you show some consideration for me and still make sarcastic remarks?"

"You're not hurt, so what do you have to complain about?"

The second prince said, "Commander Fang said that the Sword of Breaking Evil weighs a thousand pounds, and there are only a few people in the world who can lift it. With this sword in your hand, are you still afraid of those villains?"

Wu Qingxizi held her heart and sighed, "My body is fine. But you don't care about me, and my heart is hurt."

The two were frightened by her pretending to be aggrieved and shut their mouths silently.

During the entire conversation, Prince Ding remained as still as a stone statue, not uttering a single word.

He lowered his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, probably he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Wu Qing finally turned his head back.

"Your Majesty, this opportunity is rare. If you miss this one, I'm afraid you won't have such an opportunity again."

Wu Qing extended his hand forward again, urging, "This is your only chance, you must think carefully. If the prince is interested, I can go back to Kunning Palace and get it for you now."

[He took too long to think about it...]

Wu Qing looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was deeply troubled.

Suddenly, she thought of something and her face changed.

[No way, no way... He couldn't really be carrying a banknote of 10,000 taels of silver on him, right? ? ?]

[I give in. I want to hate the rich. ]

Prince Ding was silent for a moment, then he smiled gently and said, "The Evil-Breaking Sword is a rare treasure in the world. No matter how curious I am, I cannot take away your love."

He sighed lightly, shook his head, and continued: "What's more, ten thousand taels of silver... this amount is really too huge."

The princes agreed very much.

Only a fool would do such a losing deal.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I'm afraid that the Sword of Breaking Evil and I are not destined to be together."

Prince Ding said regretfully.

Wu Qing said suspiciously: "Your Majesty didn't say a word just now, I thought you were thinking about it."

Prince Ding still smiled, he bowed slightly, his behavior showing the gentlemanly demeanor.

He said: "It was I who caused you to misunderstand me. I apologize to you."

Wu Qing quickly turned away, not daring to accept his greeting.

While he was deep in thought just now, Prince Ding still maintained his keen insight and did not miss any details of the people around him.

Concubine Ji's words actually revealed the information he wanted to know.

When Prince Ding learned the clue about the Evil-Breaking Sword yesterday, his heartbeat quickened.

——Seven Holy Swords, recognized killing weapons, he already holds two of them.

Now Tongguang had to obey him in order to survive. He held the remnants of the Golden Lotus Society in his hands, and Dai Wei's Dragon and Tiger Sword also fell into his hands.

If he obtained another Evil-Breaking Sword, he would possess half of the Seven Holy Swords and would be one step closer to his goal.

How could this not excite him?

Prince Ding acted promptly and ordered his spies to sneak into Kunning Palace under the cover of night to search for the whereabouts of the Evil-Breaking Sword.

He stood at the window looking at the moon with a candle burning all night.

The sun had not yet risen when the servants brought back the cold news.

——After the spy entered Concubine Ji’s bedroom, he disappeared without a trace and failed to return as agreed.

This morning the Queen resumed her greetings. Now the palace was in chaos and they didn't know whether the spy had been captured. They could only take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Prince Ding frowned, his eyes deep.

Finally, he decided to go into the palace to find out what was going on.

From Concubine Ji's words, we can learn that the spy did sneak into Concubine Ji's bedroom, but his hand was broken by the Sword of Breaking Evil.

And Fang Rong'an also confirmed the weight of the Evil-Breaking Sword.

In this case, even if he really used ten thousand taels of silver to buy the Evil-Breaking Sword, he could not take it away.

Prince Ding thought to himself that it would be better to keep the sword with Concubine Ji for the time being.

Firstly, the sword weighs a thousand pounds, and even if an ordinary person gets it, it would be difficult to shake it at all.

Secondly, Concubine Ji doesn't seem to be very interested in the Sword of Breaking Evil and will not delve into the deeper secrets.

If something unexpected happens...

Prince Ding thought, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, so he would be more attentive to Lord Qin's stomach.
