Eunuch Wang's gaze passed over the faces of Su Luo and the others, and then fixed on the Ninth Prince: "Ninth Prince, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace. Please come in."
The Ninth Prince was mentally prepared, but he still frowned and asked, "Eunuch, has something happened in the palace?"
Eunuch Wang said calmly, "Your Majesty only asked me to invite the prince to the palace to discuss something. I know nothing else."
The Ninth Prince nodded: "Alright."
The Ninth Prince followed Eunuch Wang into the palace.
After they left, Su Luo said to Chang Mian, "Haven't you gained control of the palace's connections during this period? Tell that eunuch Chang to be on the lookout and steal the Ninth Prince's body within twelve hours."
“Luoluo—”
Only then did Zi Yan truly realize that something big was about to happen.
"Don't panic." Su Luo smiled faintly, "This is a good thing."
"How can this be a good thing?" Zi Yan gritted her teeth. "Does the Dark Emperor really want to poison the Ninth Prince? I still don't believe it."
"Then let's wait and see." Su Luo smiled faintly.
In the palace.
Eunuch Wang brought the Ninth Prince to the Dark Emperor.
This time it was not in the front hall, nor in the imperial study, but in the back hall.
The palace where the late emperor died.
"Ninth Prince, please come in. His Majesty is waiting for you inside." Eunuch Wang escorted the man to the door.
The bad premonition in the Ninth Prince's heart became more and more serious, but when he thought of Su Luo's words, he calmed down a lot, so he stepped over the threshold.
He had just entered, bang——
The door behind him opened automatically without a breeze.
The Ninth Prince is now also a five-star strong man, so he is not afraid. He looks up and walks in.
Soon, the Ninth Prince saw a man standing in front of the bed with his hands behind his back.
That bed was the place where my father passed away.
The tall and majestic figure turned around——
Who else could it be besides the Dark Emperor?
The Dark Emperor in the shadows had a cold, eerie and strange gaze that made people feel cold in their hearts.
"My father died here."
Without any foreshadowing, the Dark Emperor stared at the Ninth Prince and asked, "Do you know how your father died?"
The Ninth Prince stared at the Dark Emperor: "I don't know."
The Dark Emperor nodded and said, "Come, let's sit down and talk, brothers."
After saying this, the Dark Emperor came to the low table, sat cross-legged, and then raised his hand to beckon the Ninth Prince: "Come and sit."
The Ninth Prince was alert in his heart, but his face was full of confusion: "Your Majesty, what happened to you today?"
"Xiao Er is dead, and I am heartbroken." The Dark Emperor's brows were filled with pain.
"My father is gone, the waiter is gone... one by one... they are all gone..." The Dark Emperor poured wine into his own glass, and then filled the Ninth Prince's glass.
"Ninth brother, you are the only brother I have now, you have to take good care of yourself..." The Dark Emperor stared at the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince looked at the clear wine in the jar, blocked it with his wide sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good wine." The Ninth Prince praised.
"You are the only one who can talk to me." At this moment, the Dark Emperor seemed to be experiencing the pain of losing his son. He looked very depressed and dejected.
Until he persuaded the Ninth Prince to drink cup after cup.
Finally, the Ninth Prince fainted.
"Oh."
The Dark Emperor looked at the Ninth Prince, who was lying on the table, and finally revealed his true face: "Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, you are so naive. Do you really think I will drink with you?"
"Did you know that the wine was poisonous? And it was the juice of the Poison Phoenix Fruit?"
