A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1599 Judgment, the Emperor said he couldn't understand it

The Ninth Prince ignored everyone's pleading eyes and refused to say a word.

As the host, the Ninth Prince didn't say much, but he fulfilled his duties as a host. As soon as he sat down, he started using his chopsticks, signaling everyone that they could start eating.

Seeing that everyone was sitting on the chairs, shaking constantly and not moving, he kindly said, "It tastes great, everyone please try it."

"Yes. Yes..." Everyone smiled more ridiculously than crying, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in their mouths, chewing non-stop. As for the taste?

Even if they eat dragon gall and phoenix marrow, they can't taste it. But in this situation, they dare not not eat it, so they can only bite the bullet and stuff the food into their mouths.

Among the people present, except for the Ninth Prince, everyone else had no taste for food. They were like wandering souls, without any feeling at all. They just mechanically stuffed food into their mouths, not knowing what they had eaten or how much they had eaten.

They swore that they had never eaten such a terrible meal, and they were sure that their stomachs would be in trouble after tonight.

The banquet was silent. The Ninth Prince did not speak, and no one dared to speak either. They just glanced at the Ninth Prince out of the corner of their eyes from time to time, wondering if this would be the last meal of their lives.

None of the thirteen people present here is a good person. I don’t know how many innocent people they have killed. The Ninth Prince is well aware of the pressure he has brought to these people, but he keeps silent, intending to scare them.

If the current situation was not bad, he would definitely liquidate such people one by one, but now he can only let them go temporarily. After all, the current situation is still unstable, and if too many people are involved, the people below will be uneasy, which is not conducive to governance.

Now he can only operate on those people who have committed so many evil things, and let them live a little longer.

The Ninth Prince seemed to be eating elegantly, but he was actually thinking about the complicated forces behind these thirteen people. After cleaning them up, the Ninth Prince knew that these people could not be touched.

Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After finishing his thought, the Ninth Prince put down his chopsticks, and the other thirteen followed suit and stopped eating.

But... when they saw the empty plate in front of them, they realized that they had eaten so much without realizing it.

Ugh... I feel so bloated. Now even if I die, I can be a full-fed ghost.

Unfortunately, they thought too much.

As soon as the Ninth Prince opened his mouth, he made it clear to everyone that he would not take the lives of these thirteen people, and that he would not invite them to dinner to kill them.

The Ninth Prince put on such a grand display, causing panic among the people, but he actually wanted to say one thing, which was...

Tell these people who are jumping around the most that the person he wants to deal with now is Lu Shaolin, and they don’t have the leisure to find faults with a few people. They should not go to Shuntian Mansion all the time and put pressure on Fu Yi.

What’s done is done, and he won’t bother with these people. But don’t let him do it in the future, or you’ll be punished for multiple crimes.

When these people heard this, they were so surprised that they didn't know what was going on. One of them even asked excitedly, "Uncle Nine, are you telling the truth?"

Of course the Ninth Prince would not answer him. A cold look from him frightened the man so much that he collapsed on the chair.

The Ninth Prince looked at him with contempt: "That's all you can do. You only have the guts to bully the people."

"Dong!" When everyone heard this, they knew that although the Ninth Emperor had let them go, he was still dissatisfied. They immediately stood up and knelt down: "Ninth Emperor, please forgive me, Ninth Emperor, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again, never dare to do it again."

The Ninth Prince didn't say anything. He stood up, looked from the first person to the last, and then left.

Uh... Uncle Nine, what does this mean?

After the Ninth Prince had been gone for a while, the thirteen people finally got up from the ground tremblingly, looking at each other.

"No matter what he means, we should be happy that we have saved our lives. Let's go back to the mansion and give out the money we have looted to appease those victims." Of course, there are smart people among them. They understood what the Ninth Prince meant immediately.

For those who received the post, the Ninth Prince was just giving a warning. Those who were related to Lu Shaolin's case but did not receive the post would probably be in trouble.

You know, those few people have done much more evil things than them.

These people may not be smart, but they understand more about the twists and turns of this issue than ordinary people. Once reminded of this, they immediately figured it out.

"Oh my goodness, I thought this post from the Wind Chasing Tower was a death notice, but it turned out to be a life-saving notice. Fortunately, I received it, otherwise I would have died without knowing how."

These thirteen people were in a state of extreme difference, like ice and fire. The post that was like a hot potato before turned out to be a life-saving talisman now. When the thirteen people thought of this, they felt extremely fortunate and smiled foolishly.

…

"Thanks to you, Zhufeng Tower will become famous again." Wang Jinling picked up the teapot and poured a cup for the Ninth Uncle and himself. Holding the teacup, he looked at the white mist lingering in the cup, but had no intention of drinking it.

"Zhufeng Tower is a good place." After tonight, there will be something to talk about in the capital again. I hope Lan Jingyang can keep his composure. It will be no fun if he shows up too early.

"Why?" Wang Jinling looked at the Ninth Uncle, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He didn't understand, why did the Ninth Prince go to so much trouble and effort just to kill Lu Shaolin? Even if Lu Shaolin was a problematic person, it was not worth the Ninth Prince's effort.

"Competition." The Ninth Prince did not explain it very clearly.

This was a contest between him and Lan Jingyang. Lan Jingyang used the power of the old members of the Lan family to put pressure on him, and he wanted to make the old members of the Lan family understand that he, Dong Lingjiu, was the master. It would be fine if the old members of the Lan family obeyed him, but if they didn't...

Lu Shaolin is a lesson for us.

"I don't understand you. Forget it... You have your own considerations when doing things. As for Lu Shaolin, I will have people keep an eye on him and will not let him live." Wang Jinling vaguely understood that Lu Shaolin was involved in an internal dispute, so he stopped asking.

Too much curiosity can be fatal.

"Yes." The Ninth Prince accepted the favor. He really didn't have time to stare at Lu Shaolin. The Valley Master and Guo Baoji were coming, and the contest between him and the Emperor was about to begin.

"Check Jingyang again to see if he is in Dongling." The Ninth Prince didn't think that someone far away in Liancheng would react so quickly.

"Mr. Jingyang?" Wang Jinling smiled, revealing a knowing smile, and was in the mood to drink tea.

Wang Jinling resolved the doubts in his mind and was in a good mood even while drinking cold tea. But the emperor was in a bad mood. He pondered for a long time but could not figure out the deep meaning of the Ninth Uncle's action.

Putting so much thought into killing Lu Shaolin is totally unlike the Ninth Prince.

The emperor couldn't figure it out, so he called Fu Lin over. Fu Lin couldn't give a clear answer either, and finally could only reluctantly give the emperor a reason: "Perhaps the power behind Lord Lu made the Ninth Prince wary, so the Ninth Prince had to get rid of him."

"It's possible." Apart from this reason, the emperor couldn't think of why the Ninth Prince wanted to kill Lu Shaolin.

Of course, no matter what the reason is, if the Ninth Prince is determined to kill Lu Shaolin, the Emperor will not step in to stop him, let alone protect Lu Shaolin.

The Valley Master and Guo Baoji are coming. Not to mention that the Ninth Prince only wants Lu Shaolin's life, even if he wants Fu Lin's life, the Emperor will turn a blind eye.

Everything will be settled after the poison in his body is cured.
