"Master, when I arrived, Eunuch Huang and his party were dismantling the Guiqulaixi Courtyard."

"A fire was started in the courtyard, and the lotus seat, red string, and palace statues were thrown in and burned."

"But...but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also witnessed the whole process in the dark."

"Master, as the crown prince, His Royal Highness must have heard about the customs and folkways of the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. I'm afraid that..."

"After Huang Pei and his party left, I saw His Royal Highness standing on the ruins for a long time, then he drew his sword and cut off a piece of his robe."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he sighed softly.

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intelligence, he must know how the Fourth Prince came to be.

Whatever, at least it’s good to know.

But His Majesty...what is he thinking?

————

Imperial prison.

In the interrogation room, a woman was tied to a rack, and opposite her sat Emperor Yong with a gloomy brow.

"It's you after all..."

As soon as Emperor Yong opened his mouth, he seemed to be deeply moved.

Jinzhu didn't have many scars on her body, but she felt weak and limp, with her head drooping.

Looking up and seeing Emperor Yong in front of him, Jinzhu smiled coldly, full of disdain.

"You have been lurking in the Huguo Temple for so many years, killing children and training assassins. Was it Yu Liu who gave you the order?"

Emperor Yong spoke in a deep voice, his hands hidden under his wide sleeves, and he was much calmer than expected.

Jinzhu's loyalty to Yuliu is unquestionable.

She didn't know that the Second Prince's background had been exposed by Zhou Bo, so she naturally spared no effort to get Yu Liu out to avoid implicating the Second Prince.

"Oh, you dog emperor, how dare you mention the princess! If it weren't for you! If it weren't for your Yong Dynasty! How could the princess have died so early!"

"I just want revenge! I want to avenge the princess! I wish I could drag down the entire Yong Dynasty!"

Jinzhu had already made up her mind to die, and her words were sharp at this moment, as if she wished that Emperor Yong would be so angry that he would sentence her to death!

"Dog Emperor! Te!"

The saliva landed at Emperor Yong's feet. Jinzhu saw this and laughed out loud like a madman.

However, Emperor Yong remained firmly seated in his chair until Jinzhu stopped laughing. He then asked calmly:

"Fifteen years ago, Yu Liu was pregnant, and she proposed to go to the Huguo Temple to pray for the fetus in her belly. You started planning it since then, right?"

"The following year, Master Yuanle suddenly passed away, and his most senior disciple Yuankuan committed suicide in his meditation room. Yuanyou took over the position of abbot. This was all your doing, right?"

Jinzhu knew that Yuan Youding was also caught. He was a coward, otherwise he would not have been used by them back then.

Therefore, Jinzhu was not surprised to see that Emperor Yong already knew the truth.

She sneered, "After all, it's an old friend who has left. My heart is cold!"

"You bastard emperor, you promised to protect the princess forever, but what happened? Not only did you cause the princess to commit suicide by the queen and everyone else, but now you are throwing dirty water on her!"

"The princess has truly fallen in love with you, and even left a child for you!"

It would have been better if this sentence had not been mentioned. As soon as it was mentioned, the veins on Emperor Yong's forehead started throbbing again.

"True love? Sincere heart? I gave her my heart, how did she treat me?"

"The second son is not my bloodline at all, he is Di Zaiying's son!"

Emperor Yong let out a low roar, and a bloody smell surged from his throat again.

He stared at Jinzhu, but saw a look of unguarded surprise flash across Jinzhu's face.

But Jinzhu was mentally very strong, and adjusted his demeanor in an instant, and shouted angrily at Emperor Yong:

"You dog emperor, you dare to slander the princess's innocence, you will die miserably!"

As Yu Liu's chief maid, Jin Zhu naturally knew about Di Zaiying's entry into the palace, so she had no idea whose father the second prince was.

But she never cared about this matter, because as long as the second prince was the princess's child, it was enough. Even if Jinzhu risked her life, she would do her best to put the second prince in a high position!

But Jinzhu really couldn't understand why the dog emperor would have such a suspicion. The fact that Di Zaiying entered the palace was top secret, and they would never reveal it!

Emperor Yong obviously didn't expect that even Jinzhu didn't know the exact answer.

It seems that we still have to catch Zhou Bo to find out the truth!

But judging from Jinzhu's emotions, there is no doubt that Yu Liu betrayed him after entering the palace.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong leaned back in his chair, Yu Liu's stunning face flashed through his mind, his heart was pounding, and his emotions were in turmoil.

Almost at the same time, his hands began to shake uncontrollably, and even his wide sleeves could not hide them.

He suddenly put his hands behind his back to hide his abnormality.

He has one more thing he must ask!

"You just said that it was the Queen who forced Yu Liu to death?"

Jinzhu thought that Emperor Yong would get to the bottom of the matter, but she didn't expect him to change the subject so abruptly.

She felt relieved instantly, and her face was naturally full of contempt when she mentioned the queen.

So what if she is the mother of a country? She is still played around by the princess!

What’s funny is that Queen Ren was still deeply in love with the dog emperor, but the princess just gave her a little eye drops and trampled her into the dust!

Emperor Yong saw the sarcasm and contempt on Jinzhu's face, and felt a little pain in his heart.

"Seven years ago, I accidentally learned about the red thread reincarnation method, which is a folk method of your northern country. I did everything as instructed, so why did I still fail?"

Jin Zhu sneered when she heard this, "You are indecisive and are our Northern Kingdom's greatest enemy. How dare you hope that the princess can be reincarnated into the Yong Dynasty?"

"Hahaha, the princess is a goddess, she will become an immortal or a Buddha, you dog emperor, stop dreaming!"

Jinzhu spoke without restraint and wished she could scold Emperor Yong to death in front of him.

She was feeling extremely happy, but when she looked up she suddenly discovered that Emperor Yong's face was alternating between blue and red, looking extremely ugly!

Jinzhu thought that Emperor Yong was irritated by his words and couldn't help laughing happily.

Emperor Yong felt his head pounding and a feeling of depression churning in his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He deliberately mentioned the reincarnation of Hong Xian seven years ago, but Jin Zhu was not surprised at all. What does this mean...

This means that Jinzhu has known about it for a long time, and it is even very likely that...even the method of reincarnation through the red thread was revealed to him by them on purpose!

So that’s how it is. So that’s how it is—

But why did he not see through it at all before, and even made the queen...

He can still recall the queen's appearance at that time. She was beating his chest desperately, struggling, crying, and screaming at the top of her lungs.

His eyes were bloodshot, he held her down tightly, and kept calling out Yu Liu...

Emperor Yong suddenly had a splitting headache. He wanted to raise his hand, but he felt his whole body twitching.

A ball of fire burned in his body, and he was shaking with pain. He shouted "Huang Pei", but the only response he got was Jin Zhu's hideous grin.

At this moment, Emperor Yong felt very clearly that something had taken root, squirmed, and expanded inside his body until it was about to explode!

He suddenly roared, and the severe pain caused him to spit out a mouthful of hot blood.

Everything went dark before his eyes, the world was spinning, and the only thing left in his mind was Yu Liu's charming smile.

She tilted her head, her eyebrows curved, full of temptation.

"Sheng Lang, you said you would agree to anything Yu Er asks, right—"
