Chapter 193 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (72)

royal palace.

An army of one hundred thousand surrounded the entire palace. Under the command of Xie Changling, they entered in batches and searched the entire palace to see if there were any other assassins.

Xiao Jin had brought people to Shoukang Palace. If his guess was correct, then his mother might have already...

As for the two children, he didn't trust either of them now, so he could only keep them by his side, protecting them as if they were his own eyes.

"Father, where are we going? Are we going to find our mother?"

"Yes, Father, aren't we going to look for Mother?"

Xiao Junlin and Xiao Beizhan lay on Xiao Jin's shoulders together. A soft voice sounded in his ears, full of worry for their mother.

Xiao Jin did not cover their eyes this time, knowing that they might be scared when seeing the corpse.

But, unexpectedly, their concern for their mother overcame their fear.

He felt relieved, knowing that they were sensible. He hugged them a little tighter and smelled the soft milky scent on their bodies. The irritability in his heart eased a little.

"No, your mother is temporarily lost, but your father will definitely find her. Now we are going to see your grandmother."

"Ah? Well, is the Royal Grandmother okay? It's really dangerous today. The Royal Grandmother is in her own bedroom, so she should be safe, right?"

Although Xiao Beizhan knew that the Royal Grandmother didn't like him very much, in his heart, the Royal Grandmother was still his relative and his elder, so he cared about her very much.

His words were very childish and his thoughts were very simple. He felt that home was the safest place. His home was Fengyi Palace, and Fengyi Palace should be the safest place.

If they had not gone to the study room today but stayed in Fengyi Palace, they would have been safe and sound, and Xiao Yinzi and the others would not have died.

"Father, are they really dead? Can they come back to life? I miss Xiao Yinzi."

Xiao Jin felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, because he was holding two children and could only put his face against them to try to make them feel better.

He knew that a big part of the reason for today's incident was due to himself. These days, he was only thinking about dealing with Xie Changling and neglected the management of the former dynasty and the harem.

Such a large number of assassins would never be able to enter the palace if there was no accomplice inside.

Xiao Jin was lost in thought when he felt someone tug at his clothes, followed by a tugging sound.

"Father, Queen Mother and Grandmother will be fine, right?"

Xiao Junlin knew that the Royal Grandmother loved him, and he was even more anxious about her. His little hands, which were grabbing Xiao Jin's clothes, were almost clenched into fists.

"Father, mother, and grandmother, will they be in danger? Will they be like little Yinzi and little Yuanzi?"

What happened today still had a huge impact on him. The knife was hanging over his head, about to chop down. At that moment, he had never felt so terrified.

Now he was terrified, like a frightened bird, and he was even more worried that his mother and the Empress Dowager would also suffer the same danger.

Xiao Junlin's little body began to tremble again, making Xiao Jin once again clearly realize how wrong he was this time.

This wrong decision not only harmed Xier and caused her current whereabouts to be unknown, but also cast an indelible shadow on the young Jun Lin.

Xiao Jin felt regretful again. He tried to comfort Xiao Junlin softly, but he didn't dare to guarantee anything. After all, with so many assassins hiding in the palace, Shoukang Palace might not be safe.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Father is here."

"Brother, don't be afraid, brother, brother!"

Xiao Beizhan also raised his chubby little hands and patted Xiao Junlin's back gently, just like how Song Lingxi had coaxed them before.

Xiao Jin's nose felt sore, and he obviously thought of Song Lingxi. Now he had to solve the problems in the palace as soon as possible and let Xie Changling go find Xier.

"Don't be afraid, your father will take you to find your grandmother, and then to find your mother. Don't be afraid, your father is here."

"Ah."

Xiao Junlin hugged Xiao Jin's neck and responded with a low "yes", burying his little head in the crook of Xiao Jin's neck, which made Xiao Jin feel more guilty and soft-hearted.

After finally coaxing the people into submission, Xiao Jin brought them to Shoukang Palace.

……

Shoukang Palace.

The situation was much better than I had imagined. At least there were no corpses everywhere. It was just empty, and it was creepy.

There were no palace servants coming and going, no human presence at all, not even a gatekeeper.

Xiao Jin put the two children down, held one in each hand, and gave the soldiers a wink, and immediately someone went in to search.

"Father, Father, why is there no one in the Royal Grandmother's Palace?"

Xiao Beizhan held Xiao Jin's hand tightly. He felt a hint of chill for some reason, and his small body gradually moved closer to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Junlin was stunned. He didn't say anything, but carefully observed every place and found that there was really no living thing!

"Don't be afraid, you'll know in a moment."

In fact, Xiao Jin already had a guess in his mind that his mother might have been murdered long ago. He inexplicably thought of the eldest princess who had come to Shoukang Palace and lived there for a while some time ago.

Now that I think about it, my mother hasn't shown up since then.

After a while, they finished the search and someone came to report.

"Your Majesty, there is only the Empress Dowager in Shoukang Palace. However, I found that the Empress Dowager is bedridden and seems not to have heard what we are saying."

"Also, we smelled something and are worried that something bad has happened to the Queen Mother!"

"!"

Xiao Jin's face suddenly darkened. Considering the children, he asked the soldiers to wait here and look after the little prince, and he went in alone.

"North Station, Junlin, you wait here, be obedient, and don't come in."

"Father."

"Father!"

Ignoring the child's voice behind him, Xiao Jin almost stumbled and had to face this fact alone.

When they got to the palace, Xiao Jin's voice was trembling: "Mother, your son is here to see you."

There was no sound, no response, only an unpleasant stench of corpse. Xiao Jin trembled as he pulled open the bed curtain and saw the gray face.

It turned out to be the silent Queen Mother!

Xiao Jin might never forget that taste.

Xiao Jin was extremely sad. Why? A son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer around? All the favorits his mother had shown him flashed through his mind. All those warm scenes came to his mind in an instant.

He knelt down, his whole body prostrating on the ground. His usually straight back bent deeply. He could no longer suppress the grief and anger in his heart, and cried out in suppressed pain.

"Mother...ah..."

After crying, he is now sure that all his previous guesses were correct.

So, his good sister, for the throne, killed her mother with her own hands, what a beast!

Good, good!

Xiao Jin wiped the tears from his face, kowtowed three times solemnly in the direction of the Queen Mother, then stood up and walked out.

At this moment, his temperament changed drastically, as if something was different.

……

"Someone, tell General Xie to come over."

Xiao Jin stood with his hands behind his back in front of the gate of Shoukang Palace, waiting for someone to notify Xie Changling to come.

This was the first time he acknowledged Xie Changling's identity in front of everyone, and it also meant that he wanted to make use of Xie Changling instead of resisting and suspecting him.

"Father, give me a hug."

Xiao Jin lowered his head, looked at the worried eyes of the two little princes, and the little hand that Xiao Beizhan stretched out, and he picked him up.

Xiao Beizhan imitated Song Lingxi's behavior, patting Xiao Jin's back again and again, muttering some small words: "Fly away in pain, father, don't cry."

It was clearly a childish voice, and it was what Song Lingxi usually said when she was coaxing Xiao Beizhan, but the grief in Xiao Jin's heart seemed to be soothed by this little hand and gradually eased.

"Ah."

Xiao Jin was speechless. He just nodded heavily, which was considered as his agreement and also as his response to Xiao Beizhan.

Xiao Junlin was a reserved person, he just leaned quietly on Xiao Jin's legs, not clamoring for a hug, but that little body still warmed Xiao Jin's heart.

Xiao Jin knew what the child was thinking. He patted little Junlin's head with his big hand. Feeling Xiao Junlin rubbing his hand, he felt a lot better.

After a while, Xie Changling came over with a group of people. Seeing so many people present, he knelt down and saluted.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, General. Is there anyone alive in the palace?"

Xiao Jin's attitude was very natural, as if his previous killing of Xie Changling was just Xie Changling's illusion.

Xie Changling couldn't help but mutter in his heart that the people in the palace were good at acting, but he had to report his search results to Xiao Jin.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered that the people from the Imperial Hospital and Chonghua Palace are still alive. Would Your Majesty like to see them?"

Xiao Jin shook his head and ordered in a deep voice: "No need, take 20,000 soldiers and surround the Princess's residence. The Princess has committed a serious crime of treason, and no one involved can be let off."

"Yes."

Xie Changling was also very anxious. Although he didn't know where Xier was, he had a hunch that it was related to the Princess's Mansion and he had to search it thoroughly.

"Come with me."

Looking at Xie Changling's departing back, Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes, wondering if he could successfully end everything this time and whether Xier could be found.

All of this is unknown and we need to wait and see the results.

……

The eldest princess's mansion.

Xiao Heng had already sent people to investigate, and when he got the news that the palace had been surrounded by soldiers, he became extremely anxious.

He couldn't do anything now. No matter whether Xiao Jin died in there or not, he couldn't show any abnormality.

After all, if he wanted to inherit the throne without dispute, he had to wait until tomorrow morning for his people to nominate him.

Since there was nothing he could do, he might as well do something he could, and he started walking towards the basement.

Thinking of the stunning beauty in the basement, Xiao Heng suddenly felt dry in his mouth, and his body became hot. He couldn't wait to get close to her.

Now, he has thrown the eldest princess's warning behind his back. He can only say that there is a reason why some people cannot succeed.

Xiao Heng was halfway there when he suddenly remembered something. He rotated a vase, revealing a small box with many bottles of pills inside.

He took out a bottle with a red paper label on it, with a few big words written on it: Spring Breeze Dew.

Xiao Heng took the thing in his hand, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes became wanton and turbid, and his whole body exuded a vulgar temperament.

"I'll make you mine first, and then see how you can go back. Hahahaha, my Xier..."
