After being kicked, Qi Xiao rolled on the ground.
With a sharp whistle, hundreds of moths suddenly flew out of the flowerpots placed outside the study courtyard.
Most moths are just soft-winged insects; even if they look disgusting, they are not particularly dangerous.
But these moths in front of us are not like that.
Hundreds of moths fluttered their wings, their light gray scales rising like dust, catching all the guards closest to capture Qi Xiao. They all turned red and fainted.
"Something's wrong! Protect the prince!" The guards sensed something was wrong and quickly drew their swords.
They quickly surrounded Regent Qi Sichen, Lin Wanyue, and Lin Yanping, protecting them thoroughly.
However, Qi Xiao seized this opportunity and leaped up onto the roof beams.
Several masked assassins appeared in the blink of an eye and surrounded Qi Xiao.
Lin Wanyue had already come up with a way to deal with the moths.
The most terrifying thing about these moths is the gray scales they shed; however, moths that fly into flames are also the most likely to be burned to death.
In the critical moment, Lin Wanyue disregarded everything else, took out two flamethrowers, and handed one to her father and the other to her husband.
Lin Yanping's soul had lived in the 21st century for quite some time, so he was no stranger to flamethrowers. He opened the cap and sprayed the flamethrower directly out.
"Ah, this..." Lin Weiming was taken aback at first, but quickly followed suit. Although he was a beat late, the effect was good.
The fierce flames quickly devoured all the hundreds of moths. Now that they were all dead, there was no need to worry about the scales that had fallen from their bodies.
Qi Xiao, who was still searching for an escape route on the roof, never expected that Lin Wanyue could control fire!
This was far more serious than he had anticipated.
It's a pity that his plan failed. Otherwise, the one who should be burned to death now would not be the deadly jade moth he carefully raised in his study, but Qi Sichen, who is still sitting firmly on the throne, and the emperor in the palace!
"Qi Xiao." Qi Sichen looked coldly at Qi Xiao, who was still standing on the rooftop: "Didn't you just say that we were framing you? Now, what's going on with all this?"
Qi Xiao, of course, refused to admit it no matter what. "Uncle, it wasn't me who did it, how could I admit it? You can't force a confession out of me! I was just leaving myself a way to protect myself!"
"Ha, a means of self-preservation?" Qi Sichen said coldly, "A means of self-preservation is to poison His Majesty like you? To turn Consort Liu in the palace into your corpse-devouring Gu? Now you're even going so far as to harm your own mother! How dare you say that you're doing this for self-preservation when you're so disloyal, unjust, unfilial, and unbrotherly?"
Qi Xiao looked rather unpleasant after being scolded by him.
Just as he was about to run away, Lin Wanyue looked at him with a sweet smile and said in a clear voice, "Big brother, since you say you didn't do these things to harm His Majesty or cause trouble for the concubines in the palace, then I have a way to help you clear your name. Do you dare to try?"
Qi Xiao didn't speak, but stared at Lin Wanyue with a gloomy gaze.
His plan should have been completed by now.
As long as the emperor is dead, then regardless of whether Qi Sichencheng admits it or not, he will be the best choice.
But everything changed last fall.
It was all because Qi Sichen took Qi Yuan to Jiangnan that he brought back the Lin family and this little princess who was so hateful.
And now that he's pushed himself to this point, he can still smile so sweetly.
When he becomes emperor one day, he will definitely slash that brat's face to shreds, tear every inch of her flesh apart, and then throw her into the pigsty.
She must be eaten alive by pigs!
Only in this way can one relieve the hatred in one's heart.
Lin Wanyue didn't wait for Qi Xiao's reply, so she took out a talisman from her sleeve.
The night breeze made the yellow talismans appear even more glaring under the lamplight.
"To become a true master of Gu cultivation, one must have killed countless beings and taken many lives. Such a person is naturally plagued by karmic debts. Even if they are extremely wealthy in this life, they will find it difficult to be reborn as an animal in the next life... Such a person is full of resentment, enough to stain the jade talisman in my hand black. Would you be willing to give it a try, big brother?" Lin Wanyue waved the talisman in her hand.
"..." Qi Xiao's body trembled.
However, the yellow talisman trembled in the wind and did not drift directly in his direction, but instead drifted to the guards who were closer to them.
Some of these guards were veterans of many battles and had people on their hands.
The jade talisman turned gray as it approached.
Everyone noticed this change.
The light talisman, as if it had a life of its own, left the guards again and floated towards the imperial physician not far away.
One of the imperial physicians unconsciously reached out to help, and the jade talisman landed in his hand. In an instant, white light burst forth from it.
Lin Wanyue smiled and said, "It seems that this imperial physician has saved many lives and accumulated merit, so he will have a good destiny in his next life."
Upon hearing this, the other imperial physicians and guards, who had been somewhat hesitant, couldn't help but look up at the flimsy talisman.
The talisman lingered on a few other people, but most of them showed no reaction. Only a few highly skilled old doctors emitted a bright light.
An old general who had returned from the battlefield was kept in the capital by Qi Sichen for support, but he couldn't stand it and also joined the guard.
The talisman landed on him, and the light emanating from it was almost as bright as a small lantern, but at the same time, the talisman turned black.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?"
The old general himself didn't understand.
Lin Wanyue explained, "This grandfather must have killed quite a few people, right? But although he killed people, he also saved many more, so naturally he ended up looking like this."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old general immediately laughed happily: "The little princess is right. When I was on the battlefield, I did kill quite a few people. But those people were all enemies of our Great Yan Kingdom. Only by killing them could the people of our Great Yan Kingdom live in peace and prosperity. No matter what kind of fate I have in my next life, even if I am reborn as an animal, I would be happy!"
As he finished speaking, the talisman floated up again, this time heading straight for Qi Xiao, who was still standing on the rooftop.
