The stingy Emperor Sheng Wen!(1!
However, the current situation was very complicated. It was impossible for Emperor Sheng Wen to let him go.
It could be said that ...
He would die for sure this time. Even if the Daluo immortal came, he would not be saved.
The fourth prince had also guessed his ending. He was filled with hatred! If he hadn’t been greedy and hadn’t tried to snatch the Nirvana Saint pill, things wouldn’t have ended up like this. He wouldn’t have ended up like this, and he wouldn’t have been killed.
If he had to choose again, it was fine if he didn’t understand the plum Flower poison, but it was better to live than to die, right?
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. It was too late to say all this now.
He closed his eyes unwillingly and stopped struggling. He had completely accepted his fate.
At the Vermillion Bird sect.
The guards also received the news and knew that they were coming, so they let them through in advance. Xiao ran, the 12th sword, and the first Prince entered the palace. The fourth prince was carried by the people in the palace and followed behind them. As for the guards that the first Prince had brought, they all stayed outside to wait.
He was familiar with the way.
When they arrived at the Imperial study, Xia Weiyang had been waiting for them for a long time. When he saw them, he nodded as a form of greeting and said, ” “His Majesty has been waiting for a long time.”
On second thought, Xiao ran understood.
The shadow guards were not idiots. They walked on the streets openly and did not hide their tracks. When they received the news, they reported it and finally sent it back to the palace. Then, Xia Weiyang woke Emperor Sheng Wen up, and this scene happened.
The palace door was pushed open.
The few of them walked in, and the Imperial Army closed the door from outside.
In the main hall.
Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the Dragon Throne and looked at the fourth prince and Xia Weiyang, who were carried in. His eyes were terrifyingly cold, and a terrifying murderous aura burst out from his body.
The dignified fourth prince had actually been captured in such a way, and even made a round in the capital. He had completely lost the face of the imperial family. He really deserved to die!
No matter how angry he was, he didn’t show it at all.
The fourth prince held on to his last hope and begged for mercy, his voice dripping with tears. “Imperial father, spare me! Your son knows his mistake and won’t dare to do it again in the future. I beg you to be magnanimous and let your son off this once. As the saying goes, even a vicious Tiger won’t eat its Cubs!”
“Shut up!” Emperor Sheng Wen roared with a cold face.
She almost pointed at his nose and scolded him. His angry eyes were as fierce as they could be.
“Is it him?” she asked, looking at Xiao ran.
Xiao ran knew what he was referring to. He shook his head and said, ” he didn’t steal the Treasury. A few days ago, he sent people to ambush the first Prince on the Vermilion Bird Avenue and stole a Nirvana pill from him.
The fourth Prince’s eyes lit up as if he had found his Savior. He was about to tell everyone about the plum Flower poison.
Emperor Sheng Wen seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say and gave Xia Weiyang a look. Xia Weiyang immediately understood and rudely stepped on his mouth to make him shut up.
Xiao ran and the 12th sword looked at each other and both of them understood.
With his powerful intelligence network, how could he not know what had happened to the Prince? Even if these princes hid very well, there would still be rumors.
If not.
Emperor Sheng Wen would not rush Xia Weiyang to make a move and not let him speak.
“Take him to the Imperial Clan Court, Zong Zheng will know what to do!” He continued.
Xia Weiyang nodded and ordered his men to take them away.
The palace doors closed once more.
Emperor Sheng Wen said, ” you’ve made a great contribution this time. I’ll remember it for you. When the Ministry of Revenue’s case is solved, I’ll reward you!
He paused for a moment and then said.
don’t worry, just investigate. No matter who is involved, take them down!
Finished speaking.
With Xia Weiyang’s help, they left.
He could only stay awake for two hours a day, and dealing with the fourth Prince’s Affairs had already delayed him by more than half. He still had to leave some time in reserve so that he could deal with it in time even if he encountered such a situation.
“Let’s go!” Xiao ran said.
He turned around and walked out.
This guy didn’t even give him any reward and just ran away. There was no point in staying any longer.
However, the rewards for capturing the fourth prince were still accumulating. In addition to killing the sky demon, the rewards would be very generous when they came out.
They walked all the way out of the palace.
There were no outsiders around, so the first Prince finally dared to speak. “Isn’t father’s prejudice too big? Lord Marquis, you’ve made such a great contribution this time, and he’s not rewarding you at all? Why do you have to wait until the Ministry of Revenue case is closed before you give the reward?”
Xiao ran patted his shoulder and shook his head. “We can say this, but you can’t! If he were to hear this, I’m afraid he’ll lose his position as a Prince.”
The first Prince fell silent. Although he knew that Xiao ran was telling the truth, he was unable to refute him. This feeling of powerlessness was too suffocating. He clenched his fist tightly and made a gesture as if he was hammering the sky, venting all the unwillingness in his heart.
“Let’s return! Staying with us won’t do you any good.” Xiao ran reminded.
“Lord Marquis, will you continue your investigation?”
Xiao ran retorted,”why not?” It’ll be more fun this way. When we’ve caught all of them, just looking at the despair on their faces will be very interesting.”
“I’ll also order people to investigate. If there’s any news, I’ll inform you immediately! On the contrary, if you catch someone, you must let me know.” The first Prince said.
“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.
After he left with his men, the two of them changed directions and walked towards the Imperial prison.
On the road.
“He didn’t give you anything. Are you really not angry?” sword 12 teased.
“Why would I be angry?” Xiao ran asked.
Sword 12 thought of the eldest Princess and seemed to understand Xiao ran’s thoughts.
If Xiao ran knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him to not only capture the eldest Princess, but also Zi ‘er and the eldest Princess.
He looked at the sky.
Xiao ran retracted his gaze and said with a teasing but serious expression, ” if we really want to investigate, we can still find some clues. But if we do that, we can’t use normal means.
Sword 12 understood what she was talking about. With his background, as long as he captured these princes one by one and interrogated them about whether they were the ones who did it, he would know everything.
“You would do that?” he asked curiously.
“Temporarily not!” Xiao ran shook his head.
“I’ve already sent people to keep an eye on them. As long as they make any strange movements, I’ll get the news. Unless they don’t make a move, I’ll have a good talk with them before my patience runs out. When that time comes, perhaps it will be the time for me to lay my cards on the table with Emperor Sheng Wen.”
“So fast? But what about your cultivation?” Sword 12 reminded.
“It’s fine!” Xiao ran smiled mysteriously.
As they talked and laughed, the two of them arrived at the Imperial prison.
He directly entered purgatory.
As if they knew they were coming back, the eldest Princess and Princess Qing ning joined hands to cook a table of sumptuous dishes and placed them on the table, waiting for them to come back.
Xiao ran sat beside her and teased, ” “It’s so sumptuous?”
“Yes.” The eldest Princess smiled and nodded.
“What did Sheng Wen say?”
“Don’t you already know?” Xiao ran asked.
“No, I didn’t!”
Xiao ran explained the situation. After listening to it, the Grand Princess frowned and said unhappily, ” Sheng Wen, you’re too stingy this time. You’ve captured the fourth prince, but you don’t even have a reward.
Princess Qing ning stuck out her tongue and teased, ” “Sister, go out and beat him up now!”
The eldest Princess unhappily poked her brow and rolled her eyes,”How can things be as simple as you say?”
He looked at Xiao ran.
“I can only leave this place after he can take everything. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for him if I were to leave the Imperial prison now.”
Xiao ran blinked and continued her sentence, ” “Why don’t you go out now and try to see if I can take it?”
“Keke!” The eldest Princess laughed, her bell-like laughter echoing in the prison.
He called out.
“Don’t just stand there. If you don’t eat, the food will get cold and won’t taste good.”
