Qingyao returned to the mansion. It was already late at night and everyone in the yard had rested. As soon as Qingyao returned to the room, Dongzhu and others noticed her return and immediately slipped into the room.
Qingyao asked Dongzhu to prepare water immediately, take a bath again, and then lie on the bed. Dongzhu and others immediately came forward to give Qingyao a massage and skin care. After everything was done, after another half hour, Qingyao waved her hand to let Dongzhu and others leave.
Qingyao was half lying on the bed, rubbing her fingertips together, lost in thought. At this moment, Xiaoyi suddenly appeared and asked, "Grandfather, why didn't you eat the Emperor tonight? This is not like your style."
Hearing this, Qingyao rolled her eyes at Xiaoyi and said, "You're still a child. You don't understand why you eat so easily. Go play nearby."
Xiaoyi looked at Qingyao aggrievedly after hearing this. "I contributed the scar removal system used by the Emperor. What do you mean I don't understand? I'm also a system, what don't I understand?"
Qingyao then thought that since she had already talked to the Emperor today, if she wanted to overthrow the Prince, it would not be enough to rely solely on the Emperor's tactics.
The Emperor didn't know how many people were behind the Crown Prince, but she knew that in the previous life, the Crown Prince was able to kill the Emperor and ascend the throne successfully because of some people in the martial arts world behind him, who used poison and assassination to succeed. Now these people should have just defected to the Crown Prince, and the Emperor has not found them yet. In this case, she would help the Emperor.
Then, Qingyao called Dongzhu and four others. Dongzhu and others half-knelt on the ground and saluted Qingyao. Qingyao raised her hand and the four stood up.
Qingyao ordered: "Dongzhu, the four of you go help me kill a few people and hang them in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mansion." Then Qingyao turned her fingers, and the faces of those who helped the Crown Prince kill the Emperor in the previous life appeared in front of Dongzhu and others.
After watching it, Dong Zhu and others nodded to Qing Yao, and then the images disappeared. Dong Zhu and others then disappeared from Qing Yao's room and ran towards those people quickly.
Silence returned to the room. Qingyao closed her eyes slightly, thinking about what might happen next. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling in front of the window, as if it was also waiting for the end of this storm.
Dong Zhu and others quickly arrived at the place where these gangsters were. Some were watching singers dancing in a brothel, some were assassinating others, some were sneaking into wealthy businesses to steal, and some were meeting with the prince's men.
Dong Zhu and the others exchanged glances, murderous intent in their eyes. They followed their plan and silently launched their operation.
Dong Xue, who was in charge of dealing with people who were enjoying themselves in the brothel, quietly approached the target. While the person was engrossed in watching, he instantly attacked, covered his mouth, and broke his neck with one move. Before anyone could react, he took the body away and hung it in front of the Prince's Mansion, then left quietly.
As for Dongqing, he took advantage of the assassin's unpreparedness and attacked him from behind. When the opponent fought back, he instantly flashed in front of him and used his spiritual energy to transform a sword into a throat-cutting move. When the opponent fell, he immediately teleported away with the opponent's body, hung the person in front of the Prince's Mansion, and quickly left.
The person who sneaked into the wealthy business to steal was killed by Dong Yu as soon as he noticed it. Dong Yu hung the person in front of the prince's mansion and left quickly.
The people who were meeting with the prince's men had no time to react before Dong Zhu bit their throats with silk. After the two men fell down, he immediately trapped them with silk and hung them in front of the prince's mansion, then quickly left.
The four of them quickly returned to Qingyao's residence. Seeing that Qingyao was still sleeping, the four of them went downstairs to rest.
The next day, when Qingyao woke up, Dongzhu immediately reported the situation. Qingyao nodded with satisfaction and wanted to see the prince's reaction with interest, so she asked Dongzhu to prepare the carriage and she would go to the prince's mansion to express her condolences.
Early that morning, the servants of the Prince's residence opened the door and saw five corpses hanging in front of the house. Many people had gathered outside the house, pointing and talking. The servants were so frightened that they immediately collapsed to the ground and ran in to report to the Prince.
When the prince heard the news, he immediately went out to check. Sure enough, there were five corpses hanging in front of his mansion. The prince was furious and immediately ordered the corpses to be moved back to the mansion.
When the prince saw the deaths of the five men, he realized that they were actually his own men. He was shocked. Could it be that his dealings with these people in the underworld had been discovered? The prince shuddered with fear.
Before the Crown Prince could order his servants to throw the five bodies into the mass grave, someone arrived to report that the Prime Minister's daughter, Qingyao, wanted to see him. The Crown Prince, with a stern, gloomy expression, ordered his servants to quickly remove the bodies.
After the servants took the body away, the prince remembered that he had to go into the mansion to meet the guests, so he bowed and said in a pretended gentle tone: "Qingyao, why are you here? Welcome to the prince's mansion to play."
Qingyao heard this and saw the Crown Prince walk out with a gloomy face. When he saw her, he instantly smiled. She almost couldn't hold back her laughter, so she could only hide it with her sleeve. Then she pretended to bow to the Crown Prince with a serious face and said gently, "I heard that there was a bad guy doing evil in the Crown Prince's Mansion today. I was worried that the Crown Prince was in danger, so I came to check on him. I wonder if he is safe?"
When the Crown Prince heard Qingyao's words, it was like another stab in the wound, and his face froze. But as expected of a Crown Prince, he froze for only a moment before immediately smiling and saying to Qingyao gently, "Thank you for your concern, Qingyao. There's nothing serious going on in the Crown Prince's Mansion. What happened this morning might have been a misunderstanding. I've already sent someone to investigate."
Qingyao said gently after hearing this: "Since the prince is fine, Qingyao will withdraw."
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Your Highness has failed to entertain me well today. Please invite Qingyao to come another day. I hope Qingyao will not refuse."
Hearing this, Qingyao nodded in a pretentious manner and said, "Okay, then I will wait for the Crown Prince's instructions."
Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally smiled genuinely and said, "Okay, then I'll have my servants take you back."
Qingyao shook her head sensibly upon hearing this and said, "No need for that. I have something else to do. I will take my leave first."
The prince immediately nodded in agreement, and Qingyao then left with the host and others. They had watched a good show today, and this was just an appetizer. They wondered if the prince could withstand the "big gift" that she would give him next.
After Qingyao left the Prince's Mansion, the Prince's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about the conspiracy behind this series of events.
Qingyao sat in the carriage, a barely perceptible sneer on her lips, planning her next move in her mind.
At this moment, Qingyao did not instruct Dongzhu and others to take her back to the mansion. Instead, she headed towards the suburbs. Tonight, the Emperor would still come to receive acupuncture. After all, there were still five days before the acupuncture was completely over. Thinking of this, Qingyao's mouth corners quietly raised a sly smile.
