Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 211 The Idle King

After dinner, Yun Qingqing thought that she still had things to do in the evening, so she went back to her room on the pretext of feeling sleepy and wanting to rest. When she returned to her room, she entered the space villa.

Xiaobai was dozing lazily on the sofa. When he heard the noise, he immediately pricked up his ears, opened his eyes, and looked straight at Yun Qingqing.

Yun Qingqing quickly walked over to Xiaobai and sat down, gently touching Xiaobai's head. "Xiaobai, take me to the mansions of those who harmed our Protectorate Mansion later."

Xiaobai hummed in response when he heard that.

Late at night, Yun Qingqing and Xiaobai, who had disappeared, quietly appeared outside the high walls of Prince Xian's mansion.

Yun Qingqing watched Xiaobai bring her here, and thought to herself that the worse a person is, the better they are at disguising themselves. This Prince Xian usually looked indifferent and compassionate, but she didn't expect that he would actually harm the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

Just as she was thinking, Xiaobai grabbed her leg with his claws. Before she could react, she felt a flash of white in front of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the study.

The candlelight flickered in the study, the walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings, and the mahogany bookshelves were filled with ancient books, emitting a faint scent of ink.

Yun Qingqing calmed herself down and was about to ask Xiaobai why he brought it to the study when she heard footsteps approaching from afar. Yun Qingqing subconsciously wanted to pull Xiaobai away.

However, they soon realized that they were invisible and ordinary people could not see them at all, so they sat on the chair and waited for people to come in.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and a middle-aged man in a blue robe walked in, followed by a man who looked like an aide.

Prince Xian walked to the table and sat down. He picked up a string of Buddhist beads and slowly turned them between his fingers, making a slight rubbing sound.

The man who looked like an aide stopped in front of Prince Xian, and then said to the middle-aged man, "Your Highness, the spies in the palace have reported that the people from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion came to the palace to see the emperor today, and they want the emperor to find out who harmed them."

The middle-aged man listened expressionlessly, without any emotion on his face.

The aide continued, "Your Highness, if this matter is thoroughly investigated, we will be found out if we are not careful. We must quickly deal with those letters that are harming the Protectorate's Mansion. Otherwise, if this matter is traced back to us, we will be in trouble."

Prince Xian listened quietly, his face expressionless. The Buddhist beads in his hand twirled slowly, making a subtle rubbing sound, as if none of this concerned him. But a sinister glint shone in his eyes as he spoke calmly, "What are you afraid of? We've always been secretive about our work. What could they possibly find out? I thought I could use the excuse of treason to get rid of the Duke of the Protectorate, but I didn't expect them to actually defeat the Northern Desert Kingdom and return alive. These men in the Protectorate are truly lucky!"

The staff frowned and said, "Your Highness, a family member of the Protectorate's family died on the way to exile. The Protectorate's family will not let this go. Your Highness, we must be careful, lest they find out something and cause trouble. Now that the Protectorate's family has won the battle and has won the emperor's favor, the emperor will stand on the Protectorate's side."

Listening to his staff's words, Prince Xian frowned and ordered in a cold voice, "Arrange more people to keep a close eye on the Duke of Protector's every move. Report any signs of trouble immediately."

The staff nodded in agreement, turned around and left quickly.

Prince Xian watched his back disappear in the study, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hmph, Duke of the Protectorate, if I can't get rid of you this time, I'll definitely get rid of you next time." Prince Xian murmured in a low voice, his voice full of ruthlessness, his eyes flashing with coldness, and then he cursed: "Prince Gong is a piece of shit, he can't even handle the smallest thing! He actually let the Duke of the Protectorate leave the Valley of Fallen Souls alive! The Northern Desert Kingdom is also a bunch of trash!"

Yun Qingqing listened to Prince Xian's angry curses and her eyes narrowed dangerously. It turned out that Prince Xian and Prince Gong were in the same group. They both colluded with the Northern Desert Kingdom and wanted to kill their Duke of Huguo Mansion.

What kind of idiots are these people from the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom? They actually colluded with the Northern Desert Kingdom, which wanted to occupy the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, to harm the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, which was protecting the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom?

Don't they know that the Northern Desert Kingdom is a group of jackals and tigers that covet the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom? As long as the Duke of Protectorate falls, the Northern Desert Kingdom's cavalry will surely break through the border defenses of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The Great Zhou Kingdom will become a country without sovereignty, and the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom will not have a good ending.

There are external enemies in front, and a group of pig-headed people from the Great Zhou Kingdom who want to kill the Duke of Huguo Mansion. It's really difficult for them to protect the Duke of Huguo Mansion! Looking at Prince Xian's gloomy face, as if he was in deep thought, Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes. This pig-headed person is scheming to harm their Duke of Huguo Mansion again. She needs to deal with this pig-headed person.

Prince Xian was thinking about how to get rid of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion when the inkstone on the desk suddenly flew up and hit him in the face.

Prince Xian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively dodged to the side. The inkstone brushed past his shoulder and slammed heavily onto the bookshelf behind him, splattering ink and knocking ancient books to the ground. He was horrified and shouted, "Who is it?"

But the only response he got was deathly silence.

Prince Xian quickly drew his sword and looked around warily. Seeing no one in the study, he frowned and shouted angrily, "You coward! Get out of here!"

Prince Xian walked around the study, holding the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on every corner of the study, looking for the person hiding in his study.

The guards outside the door heard the noise, quickly drew their weapons, and violently pushed open the study door. "Your Highness, what happened?"

Prince Xian's face was gloomy, and he didn't retract his sword. He said in a deep voice: "An unknown person has entered the palace. Pass the order to strengthen the security! Don't let a fly out."

After receiving the order, the guards quickly turned around and left.

Prince Xian watched the guards leave, then turned around and glanced around the study, thinking to himself that this person in the dark was able to sneak into the palace silently and launch an attack when he was unaware. His skills must be extraordinary. It seems that the palace must be more vigilant in the future. While he was thinking, the bookshelf behind him suddenly collapsed. Prince Xian was unable to avoid it and was crushed under the bookshelf.

"what."

Prince Xian let out a scream, and the guards rushed in after hearing the scream.

"Your Highness!" the guards exclaimed, quickly moving forward to remove the heavy bookshelf that was pressing down on Prince Xian. At this moment, Prince Xian's face was as pale as paper, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

The guards tried their best, veins bulging on their foreheads, but the bookshelf seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.

The leading guard looked anxious and shouted outside the door, "Hurry up and help!"

After a while, several more guards came hurriedly and joined in, but they still couldn't lift the bookshelf.

Prince Xian was being held down, the excruciating pain causing him to break out in a cold sweat. His rage reached its peak, and he cursed at the top of his lungs, "A bunch of useless people! What's the point of keeping you around? You can't even lift a bookshelf!"
