The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Prince Rui knew that few of the things he and his brothers did could escape the eyes of his father. In the past, he dared to act rashly again and again, but it was also because of his father's tacit approval. The reason why he had always targeted Xiao Yibai was simply because his father knew that Xiao Yibai had no interest in the throne but still wanted to give it to him. His father tacitly agreed that everything he did to Xiao Yibai was just for him, his fifth brother, to practice.

Prince Rui was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Withdraw our troops. Since the Qilin Guards are already arresting them, we don't need to waste any more manpower. Keep a close eye on Prince Qi and investigate any forces he has that we're unaware of. Also, the Chen family has asked our people to pay special attention to any interactions between them and Prince Qi."

Xuan Ming responded, "Yes, then my master, please rest early. I will take my leave."

The news of the past few days has hit Prince Rui so hard that he is questioning his life. He can accept that it was Xiao Yibai who plotted against him and crippled his legs. After all, he had tried to kill Xiao Yibai many times in the past two years, but he had never succeeded.

He never imagined that it was his own brother who deposed him, making him lose his chance to take the throne. Also, if he was deposed, then Xiao Yibai would not want the throne, and the only person left who could take it would be his own brother.

Initially, Prince Rui was reluctant to believe this fact, but Xuanming had stumbled upon a number of things over the past few days that were directly attributed to Prince Qi. Several of his businesses had experienced business accidents, and his people had repeatedly gotten into trouble, and it was Prince Qi's men who provided evidence to the Emperor.

Although there must be someone behind the scenes who was able to let Xuan Ming find these old news in the past few days, he also knew that it was probably Xiao Yibai who gave him the news, but so what, these were all facts.

The King of Qi has been particularly honest and quiet these past two days. He seldom sends Ling Yi on missions and thought that no one knew that there was such a person as Ling Yi around him. Unexpectedly, not only did someone know about it, but he was also completely exploited.

The King of Qi was suspicious by nature. He didn't know whether someone was imitating Ling Yi's three-edged crescent knife to kill people, or whether Ling Yi was actually someone placed by his side.

Ling Yi was originally a man of the Jianghu with excellent martial arts skills. Six years ago, Ling Yi was only twelve years old. Because of a grudge in the Jianghu, the Ling family was wiped out. After being seriously injured, Ling Yi escaped and was saved by King Qi.

The King of Qi was only fourteen that year, and it was his first time on an outing. After Ling Yi recovered from his injuries, he left the King of Qi. Two years later, after achieving his revenge, he returned to the King of Qi and remained with him ever since.

The King of Qi had carefully investigated what had happened in the two years since Ling Yi left him. He kept Ling Yi by his side only after he was sure that he was fine. In the past four years, Ling Yi had indeed helped him a lot.

When Ling Yi was pursued by the Qilin Guards, he was shocked and didn't know what Ling Yi had done. After investigation, he found out that on the night of Prince Rui's accident, Prince Rui's secret guards were killed by the three-edged crescent blade. Ling Yi usually did not interact with other people in the Prince Qi's mansion, so there was no one to prove whether he had left.

Although the Emperor hadn't approached the Prince of Qi about Ling Yi, the fact that he had sent people to monitor the Prince of Qi's mansion wasn't very covert, and he'd intentionally let Qi know he was under surveillance. The Prince of Qi could avoid surveillance if he wanted to, but deliberately avoiding it would only confirm his hidden agenda. Therefore, the Prince of Qi couldn't do anything, not even investigate who had done what to the Prince of Rui that day.

After a round of fighting between the fairies, Mu Xiyue was still not sleepy while nestling in Xiao Yibai's arms.

"Abai, do you think someone will assassinate us along the way if we march so brazenly to Luzhou? Prince Rui is no longer eligible to compete for the throne, so he shouldn't target you anymore, right?"

Xiao Yibai scoffed lightly, "He's probably focusing his energy on dealing with the King of Qi right now. I've already given him evidence of everything the King of Qi has been secretly doing to him over the past two years. And now that his leg has been crippled, we've gone to such lengths. Given his personality, he's definitely not going to let the King of Qi go."

"What about the King of Qi? He won't just sit there and wait for death. He won't just acquiesce to this incident, right?"

"Except for the information about his legs being crippled, everything else that reached Prince Rui is true. Even if Prince Qi denies it, it's useless. Furthermore, my father's Qilin Guards have been apprehending Ling Yi, one of Prince Qi's men, for the past two days. For the first two days after Prince Rui's accident, Prince Qi avoided investigating the situation to avoid suspicion. Only after the Qilin Guards apprehended Ling Yi did Prince Qi investigate. Now it's too late for him to prove his innocence."

After the two got married, Xiao Yibai did not deliberately hide anything he did from Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue also had a deeper understanding of Xiao Yibai's methods. He was too shady. If he really wanted that position, if he really wanted to get rid of those brothers, it was estimated that the only princes who could be alive now would be the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince.

Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue explained the Emperor's surveillance of Prince Qi. "So Prince Qi can't do anything he wants now. As long as he doesn't want his father to know that he covets the throne, he has no choice but to behave himself for a while."

Mu Xiyue poked his chest a few times with her finger and said, "Prince Qi should also know your attitude. You don't want to sit in that position. So even if he shows that he wants to fight for the position of crown prince, what's wrong with that? Isn't it his duty to let the emperor see his ability?"

Xiao Yibai grabbed Mu Xiyue's hand helplessly, "Don't start a fire, Ji Yun said that too frequent sex is not good for a woman's health. Prince Qi wants to fight, but he can't do it openly. Prince Rui is his brother from the same mother. The Chen family and the Queen have always supported Prince Rui's ascension to the throne. He can fight with the other brothers, but he can't fight with Prince Rui openly."

The Queen supported Prince Rui because he was the eldest son and she felt that he should be the heir. The Chen family supported Prince Rui because he was easier to control than Prince Qi.

Although Mu Xiyue could understand what Xiao Yibai said, she still felt that these things were too brain-burning.

After getting up in the morning, Mu Xiyue went to see Xueying. Xueying had recovered very quickly in the past few days and no longer looked weak, but Ji Yun said that she was still weak.

Mu Xiyue walked into the yard and was very curious when she didn't see Tan Tai Hong. "Hey, why is Brother Hong not here so early this morning?"

Xueying came forward with a smile, "He went back to Luofeng and said he wanted to make a mask for me. He was afraid that on the way to Luzhou, he would meet someone who could recognize me and cause unnecessary trouble."

"That's right. My sister-in-law is going to Luzhou tomorrow. Can your body handle it?"

Xueying shook her head. "It's fine. Doctor Ji said he'd make me some conditioning pills today. They're not as effective as herbal remedies, but they're easier to carry. And I'm a martial artist after all, so I'll recover faster than the average person."

Tan Tai Hong did not return to the Princess's Mansion until dark in the evening. He not only made two masks for Xueying, but also made new masks for Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai.
