Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

The news of the assassination of Princess Yongning soon reached the ears of Emperor Chengming, and Xiao Shenyi had already prepared his words for the audience with Emperor Chengming.

"Uncle Emperor, it was a very dangerous night last night. The sliver of iron dart just brushed past Yongning's ear and even cut his earlobe..."

Xiao Shenyi held a handkerchief in one hand and covered his face with tears.

A beautiful woman shedding tears is already pitiful, and her crying like this is even more heartbreaking.

Emperor Chengming and Xiao Shenyi's mother were old acquaintances. He was so angry that he slammed the armrest when he saw his old friend's son suffering such an injustice and crying in front of him.

Emperor Chengming said gloomily: "This is really outrageous! They dare to be so presumptuous right under my nose! Do you think the capital city is a place for these young boys to make trouble and act wildly?"

"Don't be angry, Uncle Emperor. This is also Yongning's fault for being lazy. I was tired and wanted to find a place to rest. I also heard the Fourth Prince say that the Half Moon Tower is the best place to watch the night view of Tiandu City. I never thought that the assassins were lying in ambush here." Xiao Shenyi said, wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

A cold light flashed across Emperor Chengming's eyes, and he snorted: "I'm afraid this matter is not so coincidental."

Xiao Shenyi raised his head blankly, and said with tears in his eyes: "What does the emperor's uncle mean... Could it be that this is not a coincidence? But Yongning has no grudges against him, why treat Yongning like this! "

Tears slid down Xiao Shenyi's cheeks and wet his clothes.

Emperor Chengming said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, Yongning. The Emperor's uncle will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Xiao Shenyi smiled and said, "Yongning, thank you for your kindness, uncle."

"You are Xiao Ling's child, and your mother and I are old acquaintances. I will never let you suffer any injustice." Emperor Chengming sighed and said, "It's a pity that your mother didn't get to see what you looked like after you came of age..."

Xiao Shenyi smiled and said, "When my mother was alive, she often talked to Yongning about my uncle, saying that he was a genius and his martial arts talent was the best in the world."

When Emperor Chengming heard what Xiao Shenyi said, he pointed at him and laughed: "Is it your mother who praised you, or are you just making up nonsense?"

"Uncle Emperor, these words were naturally said by my mother." Xiao Shenyi said.

Emperor Chengming stroked his beard and said, "Good, good, good... By the way, I heard that there was an assassination in Banyue Tower last night. Was Old Seven with you?"

"Seventh Prince..."

Xiao Shenyi's face flushed instantly, he twirled the handkerchief in his hand with his fingers, lowered his head and remained silent.

She looks like a young girl in love.

Seeing Xiao Shenyi like this, Emperor Chengming had nothing to understand, and said meaningfully: "It seems that the seventh brother still has some of the charm of my youth!"

Xiao Shenyi said angrily: "Uncle Emperor!"

Emperor Chengming smiled: "Hahahahahaha...Uncle Emperor, I'm not teasing you anymore. Has Yongning decided which of my princes she will marry?"

Xiao Shenyi continued to stir the handkerchief, his face red and silent.

Emperor Chengming said: "If that is the case, then uncle, can you give me a few more days?"

"No!" Xiao Shenyi suddenly raised his voice, then after seeing the look in Emperor Chengming's eyes, he pursed his lips and said: "When the Seventh Prince was assassinated last night, he remained calm. His handsome appearance made Yongning fascinated. Yongning... Yongning wants to marry the Seventh Prince. Lest... Lest the Seventh Prince forget Yongning."

After Xiao Shenyi said this, his face turned red almost to the point of bleeding, and his shy look showed that he couldn't wait any longer, just like what he said.

Emperor Chengming then smiled with satisfaction and said: "Ah, speaking frankly is very good."

"Where is Eunuch Sun?"

"The servant is here."

Emperor Chengming said: "Pass on my imperial decree, the seventh prince Pei Yu and Princess Yongning will choose an auspicious day to get married! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is fully responsible for this matter, and all supplies will be prepared according to the highest regulations!"

"Hmm."

After Eunuch Sun left, Emperor Chengming looked at Xiao Shenyi and said, "Yongning, don't you accept my order?"

"Yongning, thank you for your majesty's kindness!"

"You're still calling me Your Majesty? Unlike Old Seven, have you changed your name?"

Xiao Shenyi lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, father."

When the imperial edict was delivered to Prince Pingle's Palace, Pei Yu had just finished feeding the fish in the backyard.

After Eunuch Sun finished reading the imperial edict, he handed it to Pei Yu: "Seventh Prince, accept the edict."

"Thank you, Eunuch Sun."

Pei Yu turned to look at Xiao Dongzi, who immediately stuffed a gold ingot into Eunuch Sun's hand.

As soon as Eunuch Sun left, Xiao Dongzi said in shock: "My Lord, you were right. Princess Yongning actually chose you."

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "How could it be that popular guy who was assassinated by the real-name system?"

Xiao Dongzi: "..."

The Fourth Prince is actually quite capable, and not to the extent that his own prince describes him as.

Half Moon Tower is the property of the Third Prince. Even if the Emperor has doubts, he would not suspect that the Fourth Prince is bold enough to carry out assassinations on other princes' territories.

After all, everyone in that place is the Third Prince's men. If they are discovered, it would be a real-name assassination.

But it was just a coincidence last night. The Third Prince also arranged for an assassin to kill Princess Yongning. Also, because Princess Yongning and Pei Yu temporarily changed their route, they had to set their destination to Half Moon Tower.

The real assassin arranged by the third prince and the fake assassin arranged by the fourth prince collided with each other.

The awkwardness of this situation lies in the fact that both sides can only shut up and suffer in silence, otherwise it will just be a dog-eat-dog fight with fur in its mouths and neither side will gain any benefit.

A breeze blew, and a black figure appeared in front of Pei Yu.

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and asked: "Are there any results?"

Ah Bing clasped his fists and said, "When I caught up with the archer last night, he had already taken poison and died, but his accomplice didn't have time to swallow the poison. I removed his jaw and took out the poison sac, and he is now locked up in the dungeon."

Pei Yu: "Then you two, follow me."

A Bing paused in his movements, and his eyes met with Xiao Dongzi behind Pei Yu. They both saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

When our own prince interrogates people... it's really too terrifying.

Although the original body's methods of interrogating assassins and thieves were not as bloody as those in the palace, they were still terrifying.

Those messy, weird-looking insects, snakes and other monsters that drill into people's limbs and bones are so terrifying that it is hard to describe in words.

Often, before anything happens, these people have already said everything they need to say.

In the dungeon, Prince Pingle, dressed in white, leaned back in his chair, lazily fiddling with the contents of a porcelain bottle.

The assassin, whose hands and feet were tied by A Bing, lay on the ground in a twisted position. When he looked up at Pei Yu, fear was in his eyes.

"Asshole! A heartless member of the royal family! If you have a little courage, kill me!!"

The assassin twisted his body desperately, gasping and howling loudly.

Pei Yu's eyes turned slightly, his fingertips trembled twice, and a millipede half a palm long crawled into his palm.

"Ning Qi, from Luoping Village, Tanxiang Town, is 37 years old and a gambler. Before he became an assassin, he sold his wife and daughter to a brothel to pay off his debts. Later, he gambled away all his wealth. On the way to being chased for debts, he burned, killed, and looted 29 people. After becoming an assassin, he killed countless people..."

Pei Yu spoke in a light tone, and with every word he spoke, the assassin's eyes widened.

The assassin was trembling all over: "How...how do you know?"

Pei Yu's fingertips rubbed the millipede, and his face in the darkness looked like a banished immortal.

"This millipede likes to eat the hearts and livers of evil-hearted people."

He said as he flicked his wrist, causing the millipede to crawl towards the assassin.

The assassin's eyes widened to the point where they almost popped out, and he desperately twisted his body backwards to avoid the millipede crawling over.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

"It's... it's Emperor Chengming!!"

"It's Emperor Chengming!!! Hahahahahaha..."

"It's Emperor Chengming who wants to kill you!!!"

The assassin's voice was ferocious and he let out a sharp, hideous laugh.

Pei Yu's expression remained unchanged and he waved his hand backwards.

A Bing walked out of the darkness and slashed the assassin's neck with one knife.

Then Pei Yu put the millipede back into the porcelain bottle and walked out of the dungeon.

Xiao Dongzi had been waiting outside. When he saw Pei Yu coming out, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness..."

Pei Yu turned his head to look at Xiao Dongzi, and Xiao Dongzi fell silent and didn't know what to say.

Pei Yu propped up his chin with his fingertips and said, "Do you think I should raise two alligators?"

Xiao Dongzi: "?" What do you want to raise? ?
