The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

The sky had been as gloomy as a steamer for many days, and finally on this day, dark clouds rolled in and a heavy rain fell, with raindrops falling heavily on the gray palace road.

A luxurious black carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace gate.

Xuanfeng dismounted and immediately held up the ink-black umbrella.

Xiao Heng got out of the car. His facial features were as handsome as a sculpture, with a hint of alienation in his deep black eyes. He was wearing a black and gold brocade robe, showing his noble and majestic demeanor.

Walk through the long palace corridor and slowly climb the stairs.

Seeing Xiao Heng's figure, Huang Zhongsheng immediately stepped forward respectfully.

"This old servant pays homage to the Prince Regent. Your Highness has traveled all this way and must have been very tired. Traveling is difficult on a rainy night, so there's really no need to rush into the palace right now. If anything goes wrong, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will be deeply distressed."

"No problem." Xiao Heng responded calmly.

Huang Zhongsheng bent over to lead him and pulled up the gauze curtain.

"Your Highness, please. The Fourth and Sixth Princes are paying their respects to the Emperor inside."

Inside the Qinzheng Hall, candlelight flickered and the scent of ambergris rose.

The emperor sat alone behind the imperial desk, writing with his own hand. All around was silence, with only the sound of the brush rubbing against paper.

Xiao Heng stepped forward and bowed.

"My dear brother, please see your royal brother."

There were also two men of similar age standing in the hall.

The fourth prince, Xiao Chengyan, had delicate but sickly features, deep and tired eyes, a pale complexion, and wore plain clothes, looking quite frail.

The Sixth Prince Xiao Chengyi was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, with his hair tied up high, peach blossoms in his eyes, a slightly raised corner of his mouth with an unruly look, an upright posture, and a romantic and dashing aura all over his body.

When the two saw Xiao Heng, they saluted and spoke in unison.

"Nephew pays homage to the Emperor's uncle."

Xiao Heng nodded slightly.

The emperor stopped what he was doing, raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Xiao Heng.

"came back."

The hand holding the red pen raised, motioning him to sit down.

Xiao Heng walked steadily towards a chair on the side, his clothes fluttering.

After sitting down, Huang Zhongsheng bent over and handed over the tea with both hands.

Xiao Heng took the tea, put it aside, and spoke lightly.

"The missing persons case has been solved, and I have ordered the execution of the culprits. However, the identity of the trafficker leader discovered in the black market is not simple. He is a guardian of the Wan Du Men, a martial arts sect."

"Your Highness has saved him alive and has brought him here. He is outside the palace."

"I have read your memorial." The emperor put down his red brush and looked up at him. "Do you suspect there is something else going on in this case?"

Xiao Heng drank his tea calmly and said, "Whether there is a hidden secret or not, the emperor will know once he asks."

The emperor's expression darkened slightly, and he said sternly, "Bring the man up here."

A few seconds later, the imperial guards carried a man with disheveled hair and soaking wet body into the hall.

As soon as the guard moved, the man immediately collapsed to the ground.

He was dressed in tattered clothes, his dark blue skin and unusually protruding bright red blood vessels were clearly visible, his entire body was covered in blood and flesh, it was hard to imagine what kind of torture he had suffered.

Xiao Chengyan and Xiao Chengyi had naturally heard that their uncle was extremely brutal and cruel. After seeing him today, they found that he was indeed as ruthless as the rumors said.

Especially Xiao Chengyi, looking at the miserable state of the people on the ground, he swallowed his saliva in fear.

Seeing that the man was motionless and motionless, the emperor's eyelids twitched slightly and he looked at Xiao Heng who was leisurely sipping tea beside him.

Is this what he meant by leaving someone alive?

Xiao Heng seemed to know what the emperor was thinking. He raised his eyes slightly and said calmly, "He is not dead."

Xuanfeng took out a pill from his arms, pulled out the wooden stopper from Mingsha's mouth, and fed it to him.

After just a few breaths, Mingsha opened his eyes and looked weakly at the magnificent hall in front of him.

The emperor looked at him fiercely, "What is your conspiracy behind the arrest of so many young men and women by the Wan Du Sect?"

Mingsha pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak.

"Xuanfeng."

Xiao Heng put down the teacup and spoke in a cold voice.

Xuanfeng took out another blue pill at some point.

Seeing the conspicuous blue color, Mingsha opened his eyes wide in horror, his body trembled and twitched, and he shrank back repeatedly.

He was clearly immune to all poisons, but for some reason, Xiao Heng got all the poisons from somewhere, and every one of them worked on him, some were even a hundred times more vicious than any he had encountered before.

The memory of the corroding and burning pain from within his internal organs came back again.

"No! No!! I'm telling you! I'm telling you!" He trembled with excitement, "The sect leader is using them to poison people!"

Xiao Chengyi frowned, "Poisonous person? What is a poisonous person?"

Mingsha sneered, "There are many kinds of poisonous people. Some are immune to all poisons, some can control poisons, and some have poisonous blood all over their bodies. Just a drop of it can kill someone."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face became completely gloomy.

Since he ascended the throne, the martial arts world and the court have been at peace. What is the plan of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect?

If hundreds of poisonous people can really be trained, it will be a huge threat to the stability of the country.

Xiao Heng said calmly, "As far as I know, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was massacred by the Shadow Pavilion a few days ago, but there was no sign of the Sect Master, Old Monster Du."

"Where is the old monster Du?" the emperor asked sternly.

"I..." Mingsha's lips moved slightly, and then he remained silent, as if he was struggling in his heart.

At this time, the eunuch outside came in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Gong requests an audience."

The emperor nodded, and the eunuch retreated.

Then Ye Zong pushed Xiao Chengchang, who was in a wheelchair, into the hall.

When passing by Mingsha, Xiao Chengchang glanced at him inadvertently.

Xiao Chengchang struggled to stand up from the wheelchair and bowed, "Your son greets the emperor, father, and the emperor's uncle."

Xiao Chengyi looked at Xiao Chengchang, who was wrapped in wooden boards and gauze. He thought it was very funny and wanted to laugh. "Pfft..."

Xiao Chengyan on the side glanced at him as if warning, and Xiao Chengyi immediately put away his smile and stood still with a serious look.

The two men nodded and saluted Xiao Chengchang.

Seeing Xiao Chengyan and Xiao Chengyi also here, Xiao Chengchang lowered his eyes with shame and anger. He saw Xiao Chengyi's ridicule just now clearly, but at this moment he could only endure it.

The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Chengchang's hands and feet which were fixed with gauze, his face showing concern.

"Excuse me, how come you are so badly injured?"

The emperor looked at Xiao Heng with some reproach. Xiao Heng raised his eyes and turned his gaze to Mingsha lying on the ground.

Looking at the half-dead bloody man, the emperor snorted coldly. Was he telling him that Xiao Chengchang's injury was already light?

Xiao Chengchang lowered his head and listened to the emperor's sudden cold snort. He didn't even dare to stand up. He lowered his head even lower and clasped his fists tightly.

Anger and anxiety intertwined in my heart.

On the way back to Beijing, he wrote a letter of apology, stating that he was personally undercover to gather intelligence, but he did not expect to meet Xiao Heng closing in. The two had no prior communication, which led to the misunderstanding.

He didn't know whether the emperor would believe his words. Moreover, since Mingsha was still alive, if his relationship with Du Laoguai was implicated...

I wonder how much Xiao Heng learned from Mingsha and how much he told the emperor.

Thinking of this, he turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Heng who was sitting beside him.

Xiao Heng raised his cold black eyes and looked straight at him. Meeting that oppressive gaze, Xiao Chengchang felt a little breathless in just a moment.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to hide the resentment in his heart.
