Chapter 325 Rage
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
A man lowered his voice and reported, "Your Highness, there is urgent news."
The fox-masked man opened the door, and the middle-aged man hurriedly whispered, "Your Highness, our people report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Bai Wuji have entered the palace. I heard that they have a solution to the weapons problem. Emperor Wu of Qin was delighted when he heard this news, and he quickly ordered the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to cooperate fully in purchasing this batch of weapons..."
"Where did the weapons come from? How many are there?" the fox-masked man asked anxiously.
"The secret agent reported that the quantity was considerable and the price was low. Emperor Wu of Qin was very pleased and has already asked the Ministry of Revenue to proceed with the process."
"How is this possible? Where did they get so many weapons? This is really strange. Have someone keep a close eye on them and report any news as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, an hour ago, the Imperial Guards surrounded Prince Xuan's Mansion. I'm afraid it has already been completely searched and confiscated."
"The residences of the Minister of Revenue and the Duke of Zhenguo were also raided. Many officials have heard the news and are worried about it. They are staying indoors, but they have sent people outside to gather information."
Under the fox mask, the man's face suddenly changed. The initial astonishment disappeared in an instant, replaced by a dark and ugly look.
After a long while, he finally uttered a word with difficulty, his voice filled with heartache and helplessness that were difficult to conceal.
"The Prince Xuan's Mansion and the Ministry of Revenue's Mansion are both ours, and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is the Prince of Qi's in-laws. It seems that this time they are here with ill intentions!"
"Immediately send someone to inform our people to be careful recently and not get caught. They should also restrain their usual arrogance."
"Also, send someone to silence the witnesses who need to be silenced, clean up the mess, and don't let any more people get implicated..."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will send someone to do it right away."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
The fox-masked man stood at the door, lost in deep thought for a long time.
Emperor Wu of Qin's move really caught him off guard.
Is he being pushed into a corner and finally about to jump up and down?
Or did he sense something and make an example of someone to scare the monkeys? Or did he want to weaken his power?
It’s really hard to figure it out for the time being!
In the blink of an eye, he lost the power of two families. He was really heartbroken and unwilling to accept it!
But there is nothing we can do.
He raised his head and stared in the direction of the palace, his face extremely gloomy.
If he did not have enough chips in his hand and did not have enough military power, he would have rebelled long ago.
The only thing we can do now is to continue to act like a grandson and behave ourselves.
Hide your true identity well.
The fox-masked man returned to the room and no longer had the heart to talk about love with Huo Li.
His tone was much calmer. "Li'er, go back first! I have some urgent matters to deal with. The imperial decree granting the marriage will come down in a few days. Then I will go to Prince Jing's Mansion to see you..."
Huo Li was also a person who was very good at observing people's expressions. When he saw that they looked a little strange when they were talking at the door just now, he naturally understood what was going on.
She quickly smiled and said, "Then I will wait for your good news."
The fox-masked man nodded, and Huo Li had to leave reluctantly.
Looking at Huo Li's back, the fox-masked man finally made up his mind. Perhaps marrying into Prince Jing's Mansion would be a good choice!
The power of Prince Jing's Mansion is huge, which will definitely give him an even greater advantage.

King Qi and Shen Xuanzhi checked all suspicious people and those who had contact with Gu Xiangsi, but they did not find the murderer who poisoned her.
Instead, when torturing Lianyue, they found out that Gu Xiangsi had poisoned Lin Pianran.
Finally, poison was found hidden in Gu Xiangsi's hairpin and bracelet, which completely matched Lianyue's confession.
After hearing Lianyue's confession, King Qi realized that Gu Xiangsi and Lin Pianran had a grudge against each other for a long time. Last time, Gu Xiangsi sent people to Puhua Temple to assassinate Lin Pianran, but Lin Pianran was lucky enough to escape.
Lian Yue even confessed that Gu Xiangsi had someone kidnap Lin Pianran and intended to sell her to a brothel. Later, Lin Pianran luckily escaped, but was seriously injured for it.
However, Gu Xiangsi never revealed any of this to King Qi.
It turned out that Gu Xiangsi had never been honest with him at all.
This made the King of Qi extremely angry.
This also proves how stupid he was to believe Gu Xiangsi's lies and even ask the emperor for permission to grant them a marriage.
It's absolutely stupid.
He only had one biggest question that was difficult to understand, so he asked it without hesitation, "Why did your young lady go against Lin Pianran? I remember that when your young lady first attacked Lin Pianran, she had never even met Lin Pianran in person."
Lian Yue has already said so much, there is nothing left to explain.
She told everything she knew, so she told it all.
"The young lady... wanted to marry the most powerful prince. Her first choice was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked down on her and was deeply in love with Miss Lin."
"The young lady feels that Lin Pianran is blocking her way. As long as she gets rid of Lin Pianran, she will have a chance to rise to the top with her outstanding appearance."
"It's just that the young lady tried several times in a row, but none of them succeeded. She also caused great damage to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, lost a lot of wealth, and even lost her own innocence. That's why she finally found His Highness."
After hearing Lianyue's explanation, King Qi was so angry that he wanted to drag Gu Xiangsi over and whip his corpse.
It turned out that he was just a spare tire, a spare tire who picked up a broken thing.
How dare Gu Xiangsi do that? She is so bold.
He actually played him in the palm of his hand.
She dared to be picky among all the princes. She deserved to die!
Fortunately she is dead.
Otherwise, he would never let her die so easily.
Since Gu Xiangsi is dead, there is still the Gu family. He has to vent his anger, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well.
Then the Gu family, just wait for his revenge! Especially the second branch of the Gu family, her parents must know everything she has done, but they let their daughter do whatever she wants.
They all deserve to die!
There was a sinister glint in the eyes of the King of Qi, like a cold and poisonous snake.
Shen Xuanzhi listened to their conversation without saying a word.
After they finished talking, he turned to the master beside him and said, "Have you recorded everything you just said?"
The master quickly responded, "I've written down all of it..."
