Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Xian Zhi curled the corner of his mouth, but still couldn't help but ask a question.

After all, she was the one who was in charge of everything regarding Concubine Hui's death. If anything went wrong today, she would be the first one to be blamed.

Wu Heng just smiled and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Xian Zhi, you did things in a dishonest way and left so many troubles for your master. It's good enough that the Queen is willing to help you clean up the mess. Not only did you not thank the Queen, but you also questioned her? Are you planning to betray your master?"

"No, how dare I!" Xian Zhi hurriedly shook her head, "I am also working for the Queen, and I will never have such thoughts. The Queen asked me to instigate Cao Shuyi to kill Concubine Hui, and I did my best..."

"Shut up!" Wu Heng stopped her sternly, "Chonghe Hall is not your own backyard. If others hear it, will your family members want to die?"

Xian Zhi immediately fell silent and looked around subconsciously.

Fortunately, no one was around.

"If you ask me, you should have dealt with the guard's family from the beginning to prevent future troubles. Now that things have turned out like this, it's all your own fault. Just pray that your master can succeed."

Seeing a group of eunuchs passing by in the distance, Wuheng gently straightened Xianzhi's clothes, brushed the dust off her shoulders, and spoke sarcastically in a low voice.

Xian Zhi just lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and followed her movements, not daring to look up or make a sound.

"If it doesn't work out, don't forget that your three brothers and sisters are still working for the Queen. We are a family, so at least one of them should stay."

After Wu Heng finished speaking, she no longer cared about Xian Zhi and left the side hall on her own.

Although Xian Zhi was so frightened that he could hardly breathe, he could only hurry back to the side hall and watch Cao Shuyi make sure she got rid of Feng Zhanye and Mrs. Chen Qi.

After the two men left, two figures appeared in that small corner.

Gao Ye first made a "tsk" sound, then turned around and said to Pei Xie behind him: "I was wondering why you didn't stay in the palace to guard Prince Duan, but had to bring me here."

Pei Xie showed a smug smile on his gentle face: "There are so many eyes watching over us at Prince Duan's place, nothing will go wrong for the time being, just tell me, is this trip worth it?"

"It's worth it. It's worth it."

Gao Ye sucked his teeth and gave a thumbs up to the person behind him.

"Then the boss should show some appreciation?" Pei Xie stretched out his hand towards him.

Gao Ye knew what he meant without even looking. He turned his head and pretended not to see: "Ah? What do you mean? What do you mean? I don't understand!"

Seeing Pei Xie's speechless expression, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll reward you when I get back home."

Pei Xie didn't bother to be polite with him, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward first, sir."

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the soul flags were turning silently outside the Chonghe Hall.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, with the yang energy at its strongest in the day. The rituals in the temple were proceeding step by step, and the Taoists of Yunsheng Temple performed the soul-guiding ritual in one go.

Emperor Yu sat aside, looking at the burning talisman paper dancing in the incense burner with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, you and all the kind people can rest for a while. We will also leave first. Only relatives will be left in the hall to offer sacrifices. Later, we will lead the soul back to its place of rest."

After the leading old Taoist priest finished speaking, Emperor Yu just closed his eyes, said "hmm", and then stood up and left the main hall.

The other concubines followed closely behind, and soon, only Feng Zhanye and Mrs. Chen Qi were left in the huge Chonghe Hall.

Mrs. Chen Qi had never seen such a grand scene before. She was still a little uncomfortable since she entered the palace and dared not say a word. Only now that there were fewer people around did she feel a little better.

"Your Highness Prince Duan, if we do this...will they really take the bait?"

Feng Zhanye stood up and slowly walked to the center of the hall. He looked at the gilded tablet on the altar and said, "When disaster strikes, you have to struggle."

The flame burning in the incense burner illuminated the young man's eyes red, and in a trance, he seemed to see the day when he burned his mother's tablet with his own hands.

The same blazing fire, the same crackling sound, and even the same strange smell.

Since that day, he vowed to take revenge, and now, the time has finally come.

If this soul flag can really summon souls, and if this dancing flame is the incarnation of the soul, then please watch carefully, mother.

Watch how he entangles the perpetrators in the weaved net step by step and makes these murderers pay for the murders they have committed.

The flame in the incense burner seemed to burn even more fiercely. The young man picked up the incense sticks beside him and placed them on the table. He knelt on the cushion and kowtowed solemnly towards the tablet.

That beautiful face is now hidden in the darkness, with only a flickering light in the eyes, making it look even more evil.

When Mrs. Chen Qi saw Feng Zhanye's look, she looked at the tablet above and after thinking it over, she took three incense sticks, knelt behind Feng Zhanye and bowed.

Although she didn't kill the man, she helped keep the matter secret for more than a year, and she felt more or less guilty about it.

However, just as she finished her worship and before she could offer the incense in her hand in front of the tablet, a gust of wind cut the incense like a sharp blade and hit her in the face.

Feng Zhanye was quick-witted and grabbed the candlestick beside him to block it.

The burning candle drew a streak of fire in the air, and then there was a "clang" sound, and something hit the candlestick and fell to the ground.

It was a sleeve arrow. The light reflected from the tip of the arrow was a strange green color. It must have been coated with poison.

"Be careful and stay behind me."

Feng Zhanye pricked up his ears and looked around carefully.

After being reminded by him, Mrs. Chen Qi immediately came to her senses, bent down and moved closer to him.

There were footsteps and rustling sounds. It sounded like there were five people, and they seemed to have slipped in through the side door.

Feng Zhanye had already heard some clues in a short period of time.

However, the Chonghe Hall was quite large, and the subtle sounds were mixed with echoes, making it impossible for him to accurately determine the specific location of the person.

Feng Zhanye didn't think so normally, but now it seems that what he learned from Gu Qingzhi is still not perfect.

At this moment he couldn't help but think that if Azhi was here, these people probably wouldn't even have the chance to launch a sneak attack just now.

The footsteps of three people were slowly approaching. The young man clenched the candlestick in his hand. Suddenly, a dark red shadow jumped out from behind him, and the long sword in his hand slashed straight at Mrs. Chen Qi.

Just as the sword was about to pierce the woman's chest, several sounds of breaking air were heard in the darkness, and the man who looked like an eunuch suddenly flew backwards and was nailed to the pillar of the palace by several flying knives.

Feng Zhanye looked back and saw Pei Xie slowly jumping down from the windowsill and brushing the dust off his hands.

"Huh, luckily I caught up."

He casually glanced at the man on the pillar who was trying to pull him off, then looked at Feng Zhanye and Mrs. Chen Qi.

"I just heard something interesting in the side hall. I guess the boss has already gone to see his aunt."

Feng Zhanye knew roughly what Pei Xie meant by "interesting" without having to guess, and he just nodded slightly.

Pei Xie smiled and looked around: "Okay, you don't have to hide it anymore, send it up one by one, it's better to come together."
