His Majesty was also very conflicted about Ji Yan's death.

He seemed to have been looking forward to Ji Yan's death, but he couldn't bear to see him die. Now that death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, he recalled every little detail between him and Ji Yan, sometimes cursing and sometimes smiling bitterly.

Ji Yan is gone, and the Ji family is finished too.

Eunuch De did not dare to speculate the emperor's intentions. He stood in the corner and watched, not knowing what to do for a while.

The emperor was upset, and the servants all knew it. However, they really didn't know how to share his worries.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally vented his anger. He sat upright on the dragon throne and said in a dignified voice, "Xiao Dezi, call the prince of the Duke of Weiguo."

Eunuch De immediately went to convey the order.

Xu Xing hurried into the palace and performed the ceremony politely. When he heard the emperor asking him to stand up and speak, he stood up and bowed to listen.

"How is Lao Qi doing in the barracks?"

Xu Xing didn't expect His Majesty to ask about the Seventh Prince. After a moment's pause, he quickly responded, "My father's letter said that His Highness has adapted well to the life in the military camp. He practices in the training grounds from morning till night every day and has made great progress."

"It's just that the military camp is different from the palace. The living conditions are difficult. Your Highness has become much darker and thinner."

"Fortunately, I am in better spirits than before, and the folic acid is good."

After hearing what Xu Xing said, His Majesty was quite satisfied and nodded, saying, "After being naughty for so many years, you have finally grown up."

Xu Xing didn't dare to respond.

The emperor did not care whether Xu Xing agreed or not, and continued: "Since he likes it, let him train more in the army. Let your father spend more time and take good care of himself."

"The minister obeys the order."

After the emperor and his ministers chatted about the Seventh Prince and the Xu family army for a while, the emperor turned the topic to the deposed crown prince.

Ji Yan is dead now, but the case of deposing the crown prince is still under trial, and the people in the crown prince's mansion are still being held in jail awaiting the verdict, so it is very important whether Xu Xing can make a breakthrough.

"Still haven't found the whereabouts of those two people?"

Xu Xing shook his head: "No."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, and sneered, "He is indeed ruthless. In order to survive, he has abandoned his wife and children."

"hide?"

"Hide your whole life?"

"Pass on my order, send more troops, and search the entire capital to find him."

In just a few days, the emperor saw through the prince's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.

Seeing that the time was right, Xu Xing took this opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, there is no need to go to such great lengths. They hid and did not show up, of course they were afraid. However, no matter how afraid they were, they had someone they hated the most."

"The person you hate the most?"

The emperor was stunned and snorted coldly: "The person he hates the most is already dead."

Ji Yan is definitely the person the prince hates the most, no doubt about it.

The current situation is all due to Ji Yan's persistence. Who else could he hate if not Ji Yan?

Xu Xing did not agree with His Majesty's approval, and lowered his eyes and said: "The person he hates the most is actually still alive, which is why he hates him."

The emperor suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this. He looked at Xu Xing with admiration and was very satisfied: "You are right. The person he hates the most is still alive. However, even so, what are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please forgive me for keeping it a secret for now and see if it can be done."

The Crown Prince and Su Xun are both in his hands, so he has to make some arrangements first before he can perform any drama.

Although, he and Jiang Hao had already discussed it.

The emperor didn't force it after hearing this, and just said: "After catching him, come to the palace and inform me immediately!"
