Chapter 103: Burial Together
Translator: 549690339
Prince Six’s heart ached again. No matter how much he said, he was the one who had implicated his mother and caused her to end up like this.
However, this was already the best ending. If they were still alive, with the methods of the others, they would definitely not let them off. They would definitely make the mother and son collapse in endless torture. Instead of that, it would be better to leave.
“Light the fire!”
“Yes.”
The Sixth Prince took out the Fire Breaker and blew at it. The fire rose and lit up the surroundings. He hugged his mother tightly and released his hand. The
Fire Breaker fell to the ground with a flash of fire.
Chi!
Terrifying flames instantly rose and enveloped them. In just a few breaths, it had already formed a monstrous sea of fire.
Outside the palace.
A team of Human Emperor Guards and the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly
Army were guarding this place. When they saw the palace on fire, their expressions changed drastically. The leader hurriedly shouted, “Put out the fire!”
At the same time.
The news of the Ancestral Temple Patriarch had also reached Emperor Xia. He ordered Wei Shang to bring people to the Cold Palace to capture the Sixth
Prince. The Crown Prince had also rushed to the Imperial Palace. As soon as he entered, he asked the guards where the Sixth Prince had gone. Hearing that he was going to the Cold Palace, he couldn’t be bothered to see the Xia Emperor and hurried over.
When he and Wei Shang met up in the Cold Palace, the terrifying flames had already enveloped the palace. The flames were burning fiercely, and one could feel the ferocity of the flames from far away.
“Eunuch Wei, I’ll have to trouble you!” The Crown Prince’s face was cold.”
“Your Highness, please wait!”
Wei Shang stepped forward and faced the monstrous fire. In the next second, he turned into a green light and rushed in. No matter how fierce the fire was, it could not hurt him at all. It could not even break through his defense.
Very quickly.
He came out with two people in his hands. It was the Sixth Prince and Consort Qing. The former was not dead yet. After all, he was a martial artist who had reached the Connate Realm and had internal energy to protect his body. The latter was already dead after holding on for a while.
He took out a healing pill and fed it to him, then used his true essence to heal his injuries.
After a while.
The Sixth Prince had already woken up, but his injuries were too serious. He was hanging on to his last breath. Once the vital essence in his body dissipated, it would be time for him to die.
Seeing that they were all here, he didn’t mind. He turned his head around and looked at the dead Consort Qing, closing his eyes.
“Bring him to see Imperial Father!” the Crown Prince ordered.”
Wei Shang nodded and ordered his men to clean up the mess. The group of people rushed towards the royal study.
At this moment.
Zhang Ronghua also entered the palace. With the crown prince’s waist token, he had no obstructions along the way. Under the lead of a Human Emperor guard, he met up with him halfway.
He walked quickly to the Crown Prince and whispered into his ear in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
The Crown Prince nodded. He knew what to do and signaled him to follow.
Standing behind the crowd, he glanced at the dead Consort Qing and the Sixth Prince, who was still breathing. He saw that their bodies were charred and there was an unpleasant smell of burning. He thought about it and guessed what was going on.
They arrived at the royal study.
The Crown Prince and the others went in. He stood outside with the Human Emperor Guards, his ears perked up as he eavesdropped on the conversation inside.
Apart from the Xia Emperor, the Grand Tutor was also present, sitting on the upper left seat.
The Sixth Prince turned around with great effort and looked at his father on the dragon throne. His hand was still holding his mother’s hand and did not let go. “Imperial Father, please bury your son and mother together!”
The Xia Emperor was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his face. From the beginning to the end, he had not even glanced at him.
Prince Six felt miserable. He could guess what this meant. If they wanted to be buried together, that was fine! He explained everything honestly and once again witnessed the ruthlessness of the royal family.
He closed his eyes and waited for death to arrive.
Even if he had to die, he wanted to turn the situation into chaos and fight back! There would be no compromise.
Fetters?
His mother was already dead, and he had one last breath left. What was there to be afraid of?
A few minutes later.
The true essence in his body had been completely exhausted. Without Emperor Xia’s orders, no one would save him. He left unwillingly.
The atmosphere was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
No one spoke. The Grand Tutor continued to drink his spirit tea, as if the scene before him had nothing to do with him. However, it really had nothing to do with him, and he would never let go of any important matters. His presence here spoke volumes about everything.
He wanted an explanation for what happened to Ji Xueyan last night!
The Crown Prince stood there obediently without moving. He lowered his head slightly as if he had not seen the scene just now. He was like a wooden person.
The Xia Emperor stretched out his hand, and Wei Shang hurriedly handed over the imperial brush. He then spread out the imperial paper and pressed it against the imperial inkstone, bowing his body to serve.
The brush moved like a dragon and snake in one go.
When the Xia Emperor stopped, he passed the imperial brush to Wei Shang, and the two words ” joint burial ” appeared on the paper.
Wei Shang knew what to do. He put away the imperial paper and called for four Human Sovereign Guards to carry their bodies out.
No one could compare to him in terms of understanding the deeper meaning.
Since the Xia Emperor had written the words ” joint burial ” and had not explicitly given the order to not allow them to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, the hidden meaning was to bury them in the imperial mausoleum.
The door closed.
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but the Xia Emperor’s dignified and cold voice had a hint of age to it.””What did you find out about the other side?”
The Crown Prince raised his head and prepared his words. He recounted everything that had happened recently, as well as his own speculations.
Combined with the evidence before him, the murderer pointed to the Sixth Prince. Including the assassination of Ji Xueyan last night, it was very likely that he had sent someone to do it.
As for the motive…
