After everything was tidied up, a large group of people sat down to drink tea.
"Grand Tutor, the number one expert of the Great Yue Kingdom who hid puppets in the Eastern Palace, along with other helpers, I had Thousand Faces cripple their martial arts and sever their tendons."
"He was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, to be used as a pretext for future attacks on the Great Yue Kingdom."
"Then we had Granny Wang lead some reliable people to search the entire East Palace, and they found a total of ten dolls."
"I haven't figured out how to deal with Xiao Ding and Xiao Yuyan yet."
"I would like to inquire about the Grand Tutor's opinion."
What else can we do but kill them? But we can't do it openly.
"Your Highness has considered things quite thoroughly. Xiao Ding is still young and can be raised in the palace. According to the ancestral system of Nan Chen Kingdom, princes are only sent to their fiefdoms after they come of age."
“But if he requests to go to his fiefdom, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot refuse to release him,” Li Ting added.
“Once they go to their fiefdom, it’s hard to say.” Li Ting said with a serious expression.
“Now that the Zhao family has lost power, there is no one to help them make a comeback, so they are not worth worrying about.” Li Ting seemed to have thought of something else.
[Father, have you forgotten about Prince Anle? And we haven't captured Huangfu Chuying yet!]
"The second prince's fief is in Jiangnan, which is a prosperous region by the sea."
"The Great Yue Kingdom will definitely not give up. After this incident, the Great Yue Kingdom will definitely openly support the Second Prince."
"Grand Tutor, I need you to point me in the right direction right now."
Xiao Sheng hesitated before saying these words.
Li Ting thought for a moment.
"If the Second Prince requests to go to his fiefdom, will His Highness the Crown Prince agree?"
"Yes." What Xiao Sheng didn't say was that he hoped Xiao Ding would take the initiative to go to the fiefdom, so that Xiao Ding would definitely think about rebelling.
That way, Xiao Sheng would have a chance to kill Xiao Ding.
Otherwise, Xiao Ding would have made almost no mistakes.
Zhao Yunwan was responsible for the murders, arson, and collusion with court officials. Xiao Sheng should give Xiao Ding a chance; otherwise, killing him directly would draw criticism from all the officials.
"Then let him go to his fiefdom, and have your master's wife send a branch of the Qianji Sect to Jiangnan to guard it."
"In addition, use the Jianghu token to ask Jianghu people to keep an eye on the Second Prince."
"How does Your Highness intend to deal with Zhao Yunwan?" Xu Ningyou could no longer contain her grief and indignation.
"Her crimes will be punished together. First, she will be stripped of her title as empress and demoted to a commoner."
"He will be executed by being torn apart by chariots."
"According to the laws of our dynasty, the empress should be preserved with her body intact. We can have her body sewn up later."
"Hiding them in a mass grave would prevent future generations from paying their respects."
[The secret technique of the Hu tribe is better; it can curse a person to be condemned to eternal damnation in hell, suffering all kinds of tortures for eternity after death.]
[The King of Hell hasn't shown up for a long time, has he forgotten about me?]
"Ding! The King of Hell has arrived."
"Teacher Li, I'm currently solving a case. What do you need me for?"
[Could we perhaps let Zhao Yunwan experience all eighteen levels of torture in hell?]
"Is she dead?"
It will be soon.
The King of Hell was counting on his fingers in mid-air.
"Strange, Zhao Yunwan's soul is not within the Three Realms!"
What do you mean by this? How could this happen? Have you neglected your duties again?
"Oh dear, Teacher Li, this is a world in a book. Many of the magical spells in the book don't actually exist, but the author has given them special abilities. It's perfectly normal for the characters in the book to know some strange spells!"
How do we find her soul?
"We'll know once we find her physical body."
"Teacher Li, don't worry, this vicious woman will definitely suffer all the tortures of the eighteen levels of hell."
"Then thank you, King Yama! Goodbye!"
"Don't look for me again unless it's important. Just stay here and be your little dumpling."
[I'm looking for you! Who told you to bring me here? If you don't take care of me, who will?]
"Your fate has been changed, and you've saved the cannon fodder prince. What more do you want?"
All I want to do is relax and enjoy life from now on!
"Your dream will come true. Professor Li, may I go back and solve the case now?"
【Sure, sure, take care, don't bother seeing me out!】
Xiao Sheng listened to Li Xingran's thoughts without showing any emotion.
The Li family had gotten used to it.
However, since they could only hear Li Xingran's thoughts and not the other voice, they didn't know what they were saying.
"Father, perhaps you should go to the prison to see Zhao Yunwan. She seems to have some secret techniques."
"The secrets concerning her soul."
"Grand Tutor, my father went to see Zhao Yunwan yesterday."
We still don't know what happened; we'll have to go to the prison to find out.
Fan Zuan also wanted to go and see.
So Li Ting, Xu Ningyou, Fan Zuan, and Xiao Sheng hurriedly entered the imperial city and headed towards the prison.
Upon arriving at the imperial prison, they inquired with the jailers and learned that only Emperor Hui had visited since yesterday.
The group arrived in front of Zhao Yunwan's cell.
Zhao Yunwan was lying there, her eyes vacant.
When he saw someone coming, he only glanced at them and ignored them.
This is very wrong.
Given Zhao Yunwan's personality, if she saw Xiao Sheng, she would definitely start cursing and saying the most offensive things she could.
But now she lies there so quietly, not speaking, not moving at all.
Li Ting summoned the jailer to ask, and the jailer said that this was a serious offender, and they were only responsible for three meals a day, and dared not overstep their bounds.
The food in all three rooms was being used normally by the occupants.
The three of them were arguing on the day they arrived, and they were still arguing fiercely yesterday.
