Hearing his words, the King of Xiyue nodded with satisfaction.

He waved at Shangguan Jin.

The eunuch understood and pushed Shangguan Jin's wheelchair closer to the side of the King of Xiyue, then stepped aside and continued to be invisible.

The King of Xiyue held Shangguan Jin with one hand and Shangguan Xu with the other, crossed their hands together, then patted them and held them tightly.

"I am old. In the future, you two brothers must work together to govern Xiyue well."

Shangguan Xu could no longer suppress his excitement, and a hint of excitement flashed across his face, but it quickly faded away.

His other hand rested on the back of the old hand of the King of Xiyue.

"Father, what are you talking about? You will live a long life!"

The King of Xiyue loosened his hand and waved at the two of them.

"I am tired, please leave."

Shangguan Jin nodded, turned his wheelchair and walked out.

Shangguan Xu seemed to have something to say and did not move.

When the eunuch pushed Shangguan Jin out of the bedroom, Shangguan Xu looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed, with a somewhat conflicted look on his face.

"Father, my mother..."

When he heard him mention Concubine Chen, the King of Xiyue couldn't help but recall the details that he had overlooked.

The understanding of Chen Fei's true face in my heart became clearer and clearer.

But he really didn't want to admit that the woman he had loved for more than twenty years would be in such a miserable state.

Without even opening his eyes, he raised his hand and waved, his tone carrying a hint of coldness and seriousness that was hard to ignore.

"Okay, back off."

Now, he no longer knows how to face the third brother.

But Shangguan Xu's thoughts were still immersed in what he had just said. Seeing that he was not unwilling to continue discussing this matter, he had no choice but to leave first.

On the other side, Shangguan Zhi walked out of the palace with a gloomy face.

Mo Zhou followed behind, "Master, what should we do next?"

Shangguan Zhi stopped and turned to look somewhere. That was the direction of the king's bedroom that he had just left.

He gnashed his teeth and roared in a low voice: "He is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

"Since he doesn't care about the relationship between husband and wife or father and son, I don't have to be soft-hearted!"

Then he looked at Mo Zhou and whispered an order.

"Go find that person first and tell her that it's okay to start. Also, go to the Imperial Guards..."

Mo Zhou left in a hurry, and Shangguan Zhi took a deep look at the location of the king's bedroom, then turned around with a cold face and rode his horse towards the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

At the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Shangguan Xu drank a cup of herbal tea and put the cup down heavily.

"That bitch Ying Fei, even when she was about to die, she wanted to betray my mother and me!"

Although my father's attitude towards my mother is unclear, but from what he said, Xiyue will definitely be handed over to me in the future.

It doesn't matter. You should learn to focus on the big things and let go of the small things. The throne is about to be yours, so why bother with these small issues? Thinking of this, Shangguan Xu was in a good mood.

At this time, a woman in blue, whose attire was different from that of the other palace maids, came over with a tray in her hands.

"Third Prince, the soup is ready."

As she spoke, the woman placed the soup bowl next to him.

The woman was about to take her hand back, but was caught by Shangguan Xu.

"Thank you, Miss Qingxue. I think I have eaten all the delicacies in the world, but the soup you made is the only one I can't forget all day long."

As he said this, he gently patted Qingxue's hands twice.

"This... Third Prince, there are so many people here, please don't do this."

As she spoke, the woman lowered her head deeply, her face flushed with shame.

Her shy look pleased Shangguan Xu extremely. He laughed and let go of Qingxue's hand.

He picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, put it into his mouth, then closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, tasted it carefully, and savored it slowly.

Naturally, he did not notice the sneer from the woman beside him, or the smug look on her face after her conspiracy had succeeded.

"It's time for the snacks in the kitchen to be ready. I'll take my leave first."

Shangguan Xu nodded nonchalantly.

Qingxue hurriedly left the room, but did not go to the kitchen.

Suddenly, Shangguan Xu covered his heart tightly and a large amount of black blood spurted out of his mouth.

The black blood covered the face of the young eunuch who was cleaning the table.

"ah--"

Before the young eunuch could recover from his shock, he watched Shangguan Xu fall backwards.

"Your Highness!"

"Someone, go find the doctor!"

The young eunuch was so frightened that he didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his face. He held on to Shangguan Xu and just kept shouting.

The Third Prince's Mansion was in chaos, and the Fifth Prince's Mansion was not much better.

"What did you say? Shi Jingjing is dead?!"

Shangguan Zhi grabbed Mo Zhu by the collar and stared at him.

Mo Zhu swallowed nervously, beads of sweat on his forehead, and continued speaking haltingly.

"I was outside Miss Shi's courtyard when I spotted a maid carrying a food box. She was a stranger, and I thought it was strange, so I stopped her and asked her a few questions. I didn't expect that her answers were full of loopholes."

"I smelled a strange smell on the cakes in the food box. I had a feeling it was wrong. When I rushed to the room, Miss Shi...

Mo Zhu's voice became smaller and smaller, "He's dead."

Shangguan Zhi loosened his collar, pushed him away heavily, and cursed him angrily.

"waste!"

Then he walked quickly towards the yard where Shi Jingjing had lived before, asking as he walked.

"Have you found out anything?"

Mo Zhu looked at him cautiously, with hesitation on his face.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Mo Zhu lowered his head and spoke quickly, "The maid confessed. It was Concubine Ying who asked her to do it."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhi stopped abruptly.

"Mother?!"

"Why did mother target Shi Jingjing?"

Suddenly, he realized something and clenched his fists tightly.

"It must be because of the Jiang family!"

Before he could reach Shi Jingjing's yard, a servant suddenly came to report that someone from the palace had come to deliver an imperial decree.

"master."

Mo Zhou looked at him worriedly.

Shang Guzhi was very calm, "Let's go and see what bad words my good father can say!"

It's nothing more than belittling me with words and then asking me to get out of the capital.

But whether to leave or stay is not up to him!

…

It was getting dark in the Soul-Calling Pavilion.

Luo Yuanqing walked out of his master's wife's room with brisk steps, humming a little tune, and walked slowly towards his room.

Because of the medicine Shang Gujin took out, Master's wife now enjoys everything she eats and is in great health.

In the past few days, he has handed over some matters to the elders and protectors. In a few days, he will take his wife out to travel.

This is for the master's wife. Even if the old guys in the pavilion have complaints in their hearts, they dare not say anything.

Passing the corner of the corridor, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes became stern, and he quickly dodged sideways.

At the same time, a dart pierced the pillar he had just passed.

He looked around warily and questioned loudly.

"who?!"

Oh my god, I just realized that the previous chapter was labeled wrong. It should be 248, and this chapter is 249.

I'm sorry, dear readers.
