Translator: 549690339
Beijing.
Azure Dragon Lane, No. 95. This was Princess Changxi’s mansion.
It was as famous as the Vermillion Bird Lane, White Tiger Lane, Black Tortoise Lane, and Qilin Lane. It was the most expensive place in the city. Even if one had money, they could not buy it. They also had to be qualified to purchase it. The people who lived here stood at the top of the food chain.
Princess Chang Xi was the Eldest Princess, the third sister of Emperor Xia. However, she practiced the art of preserving her youth, so time could not leave a mark on her. She looked like a noble lady in her thirties, so mature that she turned purple. She also had a noble air about her. A casual glance from her could arouse a man’s most primitive desire.
In this aspect, even Xiao Mi couldn’t compare to her.
No. 95 looked ordinary, and this was Azure Dragon Lane. If one thought deeper, she represented the Nine Five Supremacy. One could see her ambition!
In the study room.
As the rising sun shone down through the window, the murderous and cold air in the room dissipated a little, but it was still terrifyingly cold.
Yesterday afternoon.
Ever since that incident, she had given a death order. She had to capture this demon dog at all costs, get rid of it, and then destroy the voice recording stone.
She absolutely could not let it fall into the hands of the Crown Prince. Otherwise, even if she had a noble status, Emperor Xia’s third sister could not protect her. She would still be unable to escape death.
She hadn’t slept the entire night and had been waiting for news. Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and her spirit was still terrifyingly cold.
She was holding it in, trying her best to suppress her anger and not let it explode. Until the last moment, she had to keep calm.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. If it wasn’t for the loyalty marquis, this wouldn’t have happened, and the demon dog wouldn’t have used the voice recording stone to record their conversation.
Kacha!
The teacup was crushed, and the tea flowed down her palm onto the ground, wetting her dress, as if she did not see it.
Ever since she attacked the Crown Prince, she had the Earth Fiend spread rumors that the Crown Prince was a woman. Then, she made her move. Then, it was the Tenth Prince, the Heavenly Sound Sect, Princess Anping, the Gong Prince, the Nanman Kingdom envoy, Wu Li Zhi, Madam Zhenlie, and so on. She had controlled everything. She had thought that she would be able to bring down the Crown Prince and mess up the situation. She would take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters to achieve her goal.
However, it was as if there was an invisible hand that was specifically against her and ruined her series of plans.
She hated and was even more unwilling!
Yesterday, the loyal duke had found her and asked her to stop. The strength they had accumulated over the years had almost been lost, and they did not have many people they could use.
Moreover…
The Crown Prince refused to let go and secretly sent experts to investigate. If this continued, he would expose himself.
She disagreed. There was no turning back. The situation had already reached such a point that she had lost so many people without gaining any benefits. She was not willing to accept it, so she started arguing with him. At the same time, she threatened him that if he dared to stop, she would expose the matter between the two of them.
Once exposed.
The Loyalty Marquis had taken advantage of his drunkenness to bully the Eldest Princess of the Imperial Family. Even if he had ten heads, it would not be enough to chop them off.
What a coincidence.
The Hell Flame Hound’s half-baked innate divine ability was up, and it appeared from the ground with a voice recording stone in its hand. This frightened them.
Marquis Zhongyi reacted quickly and injured it with one move. However, it was a vicious demon with thick skin and a lot of foundation. It used a secret technique to escape again and escaped with injuries, which led to the scene of locking down South City.
However, the news that came in one after another from yesterday until now was not good. The loyal duke had already found traces of the demon dog and had brought people to chase after it. If it was before, she believed that with his ability, he would definitely be able to settle this matter.
What was worse was that the Crown Prince had also received the news and joined in. He asked the Flood Dragon Guards and Lu Zhantang to search for traces of the demon dog. This made her feel a sense of danger. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive this calamity.
Walking to the window, he looked at the rising sun and asked with a cold face,””Still no news?”
The maid lowered her head and did not dare to breathe loudly. “Yes.”
His eyes flashed with viciousness, and his face was ferocious. He was filled with endless madness, like a trapped beast fighting.
“He’s probably dead!” “This, this…
“BenGong is going to lose!”
“It’s not the last moment yet. There might still be a chance.”
Princess Chang Xi shook her head and trusted her intuition.””lf there was good news, it would have come a long time ago.”
His words changed. and his killing intent soared into the sky
“Before the Crown Prince’s people obtain the Voice Recording Stone, this Queen will give him another big gift. Even if he dies, he won’t feel good!”
All the killing intent disappeared. His face was calm and he had a warm smile on his face, like an amiable elder.
“Prepare the bath water. BenGong wants to bathe and prepare the carriage. After BenGong leaves the mansion, let our people pass the news to them.”
The maid did not dare to refute and hurriedly followed her instructions.
After the shower.
She wore a luxurious purple dress, expensive jewelry, and hairpins. She got into a carriage and rushed to the Eastern Palace.
The maid carried out her orders and passed the news to them.
At this moment, Zhang Ronghua was dealing with the demon bird.
In the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince had his breakfast and was dealing with government affairs in the study. Qing ‘Er poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. She said, “It’s been a night, but there’s still no news from that side.”
“There’s no court session today, or else the court would be very lively. I reckon that there are already censors on the way to the Imperial Palace to visit the loyal marquis.”
He took a sip of tea and handed her the teacup.
“The people in the dark haven’t sent any news yet?”
“One of Earth Fiend’s higher-ups has died. Zhang Ronghua and the loyal duke have already chased them out of the city. Zheng Fugui and the others were confronting Lin Shiyuan and the three young masters of the Marquisdom. They could fight at any time.”
“The show is getting more and more exciting. I’m very curious what it is that made them risk offending me and confront Zheng Fugui and the others.”
Qing er shook her head. Although she was smart, she didn’t have much information, so she couldn’t guess at all. However, there was one thing that she was sure of. This item definitely had a huge implication.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Shuang ‘er walked in from outside and stopped beside him.” Your Highness, Princess Changxi is here.”
” What is she doing here?” The Crown Prince frowned and looked puzzled.” I have never interacted much with this aunt. Why is she here at this time?””
“She got a batch of spiritual fruits from the East Sea. They are delicious and she specially sent some over for you to try.”
“There must be something wrong with this.”
He stood up from his chair, his eyes shining as he said meaningfully, “I want to see what she’s up to!”
Qing ‘Er changed her clothes and put on her formal attire. It was a purple-black ceremonial robe with a dragon with long fangs embroidered on the chest. She wore expensive jade jewelry and her majesty reached its peak. Her aura was huge..”To the Hall of Proclamation and Harmony!”
