Wandering the Heavens

"I want this thing to spread throughout Jinling within five days. Be careful not to expose your manpower." Yu Xian took out a thick stack of leaflets from his arms and handed it to Qin Prajna.

"This... is this true? But if this spreads throughout Jinling, the Xuan Jing Division will definitely investigate?" Qin Prajna glanced at the contents of the flyer and was about to put it away.

"So, I will kill Xia Jiang tonight and blind Xiao Xuan's eyes. Also, before distributing them, deal with the flyers first. They have been stained with your scent and will be easily caught." Yu Xian said casually.

"This is really thoughtful of you, sir." Qin Prajna's face flushed. It's not her fault that girls all like to make themselves smell good.

"The lords I have chosen for you are the Mu siblings from the southern border. So you have to decide on your own what to do next. Although they don't like conspiracies, they won't kill you all." Yu Xian warned.

"Prajna understands." Qin Prajna knew that this was the way out Yu Xian found for himself.

“If you understand, then find a way to withdraw the Red Sleeves Movement! Just don’t let the Jiangzuo League find out.” After saying this, Yu Xian flew out of Prince Yu’s Mansion.

"Xiao Xuan, Liang State!" Qin Prajna muttered to herself, clutching the flyer in her hand.

In this chaotic world, it seems that only those who are more despicable can survive. For example, Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang ascended the throne through a coup. In order to consolidate his power and expand his territory, he relied on the little thing three inches below his navel. It was mentioned before that the sisters of Lin Xie and Yan Que were taken into the harem by Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan's extermination of the Hua clan was done in the same way. He pretended to be on good terms with the Hua clan, took Princess Linglong of the Hua clan into the harem, and after giving birth to a child, he killed the child. The Hua clan was also exterminated by the Liang Kingdom along with Princess Linglong.

The child was given to Queen Yan to raise, and was named Prince Yu when he grew up.

The news of Xia Jiang's death soon reached Xiao Xuan's ears. He was nailed to the wall of the lobby of Xuan Jing Si with an iron rod. The plaque of Xuan Jing Si written by Xiao Xuan himself had been smashed to pieces.

None of this was the most important thing. What made Xiao Xuan most angry was the pattern drawn by the murderer with Xia Jiang's blood next to his body. It was like a thorn that pierced his heart deeply.

Gao Zhan appeared calm on the surface, but deep down he was like an ant on hot pot. Having followed Xiao Xuan for many years, he naturally knew what this pattern meant.

"Rebellion, rebellion, the capital of Daliang, my Xuanjingsi, my spies were killed by villains in the government office. This is rebellion, this is treason. I will catch this man, cut him into pieces, and grind his bones to dust!"

Xiao Xuan couldn't find anyone to vent his anger, so he swept his hands across the table, and the memorials that had been sorted out scattered all over the floor. Several young eunuchs knelt down hurriedly and picked up the memorials one by one in their arms.

"Gao Zhan, let Xia Jiang come to see me. I am so angry that I am confused. Let Xia Jiang's disciples come to see me!"

"Your Majesty, Xia Chun is the only one in the capital at the moment. He is waiting outside the palace to be summoned. The remaining three are on official business outside under the emperor's order and have not returned yet." Gao Zhan said truthfully.

"Don't worry about the number. Everyone who can come can come. The teacher is dead. This Xia Chun is really patient." Xiao Xuan patted the table.

In the past, Gao Zhan always asked the eunuchs to go outside the hall to call for help, but this time he went there himself. After the eunuch had tidied up the table and the memorials scattered on the ground, he walked to the door of the hall to call Xia Chun in.

"Your Majesty, I, Xia Chun, greet you!" Xia Chun walked into the hall with his head lowered. When he saw Gao Zhan's heels quicken, he quickly knelt down to salute.

"Your teacher Xia Jiang was killed in the Xuan Jingsi Yamen. How do you feel?" Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and made a fatal comment. If he was not the emperor, he would have been killed by Xia Chun at least.

"I want to thoroughly investigate this case, relieve your majesty's worries, and avenge my teacher." After all, Xia Chun had been in officialdom, so he still knew some polite words.

"Gao Zhan, give a sign to Xia Chun and tell him to work on the case with confidence. Xia Chun, let me remind you that investigating the case is one thing, but the Yan State delegation is about to come to the capital, and the little girl from Prince Mu's mansion is also coming. Remember not to cause any trouble and bring shame to Daliang." Xiao Xuan started to pass the buck before he even started working.

The power has been given to you, and you have been reminded that if you create something that cannot be resolved, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.

"I accept the decree!"

After Xia Chun got the power, he started to investigate the case, but then he overlooked one thing. When Xiao Xuan found out about it, he was called back and scolded less than two hours after he left the palace.

What happened was that when Prince Ji was wandering the streets as usual, a piece of paper happened to float into his hands. The content was quite simple, about a prince who pretended to avoid the royal struggle and went out to the underworld with two close friends under an alias.

Prince Ji, who was frightened to the point of nearly losing control of his bladder in the street, rushed to the palace to report his innocence.

In order to let his sons fight for power happily, Xiao Xuan deliberately ignored their cliques and just waved the flags and shouted, "Zhang San, you follow the prince, Li Si, you go to join Prince Yu." As a result, the heads of the six ministries were poached, and everything would be fine if he took control of the Xuan Jing Si.

Now he knew why Xia Jiang died.

In the end, he could only comfort King Ji and asked Xia Chun to organize people to collect as many leaflets as possible and find out their source. Whether it was Xia Jiang’s death or the leaflets, it was one case.

Mei Changsu, who had just followed Xiao Jingrui into Jinling from Yan Yujin, was now looking at the big stone of the pillar of the country in front of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. His eyes were empty as if he was thinking about something. Before Xiao Jingrui could introduce it, he found something strange on the stone. The three of them came closer and saw that there was a baby's palm-sized area next to Xiao Xuan's seal with the words "Hehe" engraved on it.

"What do these two words 'hehe' mean?" Yan Yujin was puzzled.

"It is extremely disrespectful to carve words on the items bestowed by His Majesty. He deserves to be killed." Xiao Jingrui said gritting his teeth.

Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu is not here. Due to his special status, Xiao Jingrui knows nothing about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. His younger brother is in charge of the daily affairs, but his presence is not as strong as that of his younger sister Xie Qi. He is definitely a tool.

When Xiao Jingrui welcomed Mei Changsu into the gate, he saw a middle-aged man in front of him. He had an imposing appearance and elegant manners. He was the owner of the Marquis' Mansion, Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu.

After a brief greeting, Xiao Jingrui told him about the stone carvings at the door. Xie Yu gave a brief explanation and then left in a hurry.

Mei Changsu looked at Xie Yu's back thoughtfully.

"Brother Su, I'm really sorry. I wanted to invite you to Jinling to relax, but who knew you would encounter such a thing before you even entered the door." Xiao Jingrui felt very ashamed.

"It's okay." No one could make out what Mei Changsu said.

Mu Nihuang looked at the imperial palace wall in front of her. She had been in a bad mood these days. When she saw the man named Su Zhe beside Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin when she entered the city, what was there for her not to understand? Women's intuition was so terrifying.

How to choose between Lin Shu's loyalty and her brother's future has been tormenting her. Fortunately, in order to show his importance to Prince Mu's Mansion, the emperor specially allowed the siblings to rest for a night before going to meet the emperor the next day.

However, within one night, she learned the news of Xia Jiang's death. She knew that all this was the work of Yu Xian. Then she thought of her younger brother and brother Lin Shu. If they did not rebel, their fate would not be better than Xia Jiang's.

"Sister, you seem to be worried these days. What happened?" Mu Qing asked her more than once.

"What else could it be? I'm wondering when my brother will grow up and take over Prince Mu's Mansion so that I can have a leisurely life." Mu Nihuang looked at her brother lovingly and said.

"Sister, we are worthy of being siblings. We think the same way!" Mu Qing immediately smiled.

"Why, you also want to officially inherit the title as soon as possible?" Mu Nihuang said with a smile.

"No, what I want is that my sister will be in charge of Prince Mu's Mansion forever, and I, Mu Qing, will live a leisurely life like this." Mu Qing smiled so much that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.

"I will not let you inherit the title, so that you can live a leisurely life."

Mu Nihuang was so angry that she took off the sword from her waist and used a ruler to teach her brother a lesson at the palace gate.

"Oh, Princess Nihuang, Young Prince Mu, this is at the gate of the palace. If the Emperor blames you, I will not be able to bear it!" Gao Zhan happened to see this scene when he came to greet them, and he was scared out of his wits.

"Eunuch Gao, it was Nihuang who was rude." Mu Nihuang quickly handed the sword to the guard.

"Eunuch Gao, I am sorry for my rudeness."

Mu Qing also took off his sword and handed it to the guard, and at the same time took the initiative to approach Gao Zhan and took his hand.

"I don't deserve it, Princess Nihuang, Young Prince, the Emperor has summoned you, please follow me." Gao Zhan calmly put away a heavy piece of metal, then turned sideways to signal the two to leave.

"Eunuch Gao, Nihuang and my brother have been in the southern border all the time. We don't know the etiquette. I hope Eunuch Gao can give us more guidance." Mu Nihuang remembered the note left in her room in the morning, asking her to build a good relationship with Gao Zhan.

"I don't deserve your advice. The emperor thinks highly of the Mu family. He has mentioned more than once that Princess Nihuang has worked so hard for the country that she is still unmarried and he blames himself for it." Gao Zhan naturally had to do his job after receiving the benefit.

"It is Nihuang who is ignorant and has caused trouble for Your Majesty." Mu Nihuang was also polite.

"But! Xia Jiang died recently, and the emperor is very unhappy, so don't talk too much when you meet later." Gao Zhan reminded.
