Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

On the second day, some of Prince Nuo and Concubine Ming's servants and maids were transferred out of the Yingzhou City prison, leaving only Prince Nuo and Concubine Ming.

Half an hour later, the Eighth Prince came to the cell.

Prince Nuo was surprised when he suddenly saw the Eighth Prince: "Uncle Prince, why are you here?"

The Eighth Prince snorted and said, "Hmph, if I don't come, you're probably going to blow up His Majesty's bedroom."

Prince Nuo shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, what are you talking about? The bombing of the Crown Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with me."

The Eighth Prince produced a confession: "You admitted it with your own mouth and signed it yourself. Can you still change your confession?"

He produced another imperial edict: "His Majesty orders execution on the spot."

When Prince Nuo heard this, he was terrified: "No, no, you framed me. I didn't confess, nor did I sign... Call Lu Suifeng, I want to see Prime Minister Lu..."

The Eighth Prince said, "Don't shout anymore. Lu Suifeng was trying to protect you, so His Majesty has dismissed him and banished him from Yingzhou City."

He waved back.

Eight crossbowmen appeared, four aimed at Prince Nuo's cell and four at Concubine Ming's cell.

Prince Nuo quickly retreated: "No...you are framing me..."

In the next cell, Ming Fei sighed deeply, "I regret not listening to Lu Suifeng's advice, Nuo'er. You keep saying you have leverage over Lu Suifeng and can influence him, but now that he's been expelled, what's the point? He's an outsider after all, and lacks foundation. He can't help us."

When the Eighth Prince heard that Prince Nuo had something on Lu Xunhuan, he immediately became interested: "Wait a minute, Liang Nuo, what is that?"

Prince Nuo asked, "I'll tell you, can you let me go?"

The Eighth Prince shook his head: "No."

Prince Nuo smiled bitterly and said, "Then I tell you what's the use. You can kill him. I will come back to blow him up in twenty years."

The Eighth Prince waved his hand.

The crossbowman pulled the trigger and the arrows shot out rapidly. Prince Nuo was hit by forty arrows and died.

At this moment, in the King's bedroom, he looked at Lu Xunhuan and asked, "My dear, is what I did right?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Majesty, the only ones who have ulterior motives and refuse to turn back are Prince Nuo and Prince Jie. Your Majesty should cut the Gordian knot and clear the obstacles for the Crown Prince. Isn't maintaining stability in the palace what you desire?"

His Majesty the King sighed, "To be honest, the Crown Prince is truly inferior to Liang Jie. I'm afraid he'll become a tyrant and bring disaster to our Southern Liang Kingdom. It's not that I don't want to depose him, I just don't want to set this precedent. Do you understand?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded, "I understand. If this precedent is set, the Southern Liang royal family will be plagued by bloodshed and disasters in the future, bringing endless disasters to future generations."

His Majesty the King said, "That's exactly the reason. That's why I know that bastard is no good, but I still support him."

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you did the right thing. Please consider my request again."

His Majesty the King asked, "Isn't it too difficult for you to take charge of the Royal Guards temporarily?"

Lu Xunhuan sighed slightly, "I came to Yingzhou City only to contribute to the Southern Liang Dynasty. I didn't expect to be involved in these disputes."

"Holding great power, I have suffered a lot of criticism. Even the Crown Prince regards me as a thorn in his side. If it weren't for the Great Elder Yun Zhongzi who watches over me all day..."

His Majesty the King nodded slightly. "Very well, then. I am truly sorry to trouble you, my dear, but at this moment, I dare not hand over the command of the Imperial Guard to the Crown Prince, fearing that he might slaughter innocent people."

Lu Xunhuan suggested, "Your Majesty, let the Eighth Prince take charge of this matter. Let him manage the Cavalry Battalion and the Imperial Guard together."

His Majesty the King hesitated and said, "This..."

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Eighth Prince has been loyal to the Cavalry Battalion for thirty years and has always been dedicated to his duties. I have to say something unpleasant, but if he had any ideas, could ten thousand Imperial Guards stop a fifty-thousand Cavalry Battalion?"

His Majesty the King nodded again. "I know of Eighth Brother's loyalty, but power is too concentrated, especially the two major military powers in Yingzhou City, which are concentrated in the hands of one person..."

Lu Xun Huan suggested again, "Your Majesty, you could issue an order to have the Eighth Prince take charge of the Imperial Guard temporarily. Once you recover, or once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you can have him hand over the Imperial Guard's command."

His Majesty the King thought for a moment and said, "But then, who will be handed over to it?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Majesty, if you are worried that the Crown Prince will not let his brothers go in the future, you can implement the feudal system and keep the princes and concubines away from Yingzhou City."

His Majesty the King nodded: "Okay, that's a good idea."

In the heavy prisoner cell, after killing Concubine Ming and Prince Nuo, the Eighth Prince led 3,000 soldiers from the Cavalry Battalion into the palace.

On the side of the Imperial Guard, Lu Xunhuan had already secretly warned them not to stop the Eighth Prince and to let the Cavalry Battalion enter the palace.

After the Eighth Prince entered the palace with the Cavalry Battalion, he headed straight for Dexiu Palace.

In Yingzhou City, the residence of Minister Yu had already been surrounded by the Cavalry Battalion, waiting for the Eighth Prince's order.

The Eighth Prince arrived at the gate of Dexiu Palace with murderous intent, frightening the palace maids guarding the gate.

The palace maids didn't even guard the door and ran back to the palace to report to Concubine De.

The Eighth Prince waved his hand and said, "Surround them."

Then, he unfolded His Majesty's imperial edict: "Concubine De and Prince Jie are plotting to usurp the throne and rebel. This has now been verified. I hereby order the Cavalry Battalion to suppress them. I decree this."

After reading the imperial edict, he ordered: "Capture Concubine De and Prince Jie. Once caught, execute them on the spot."

"The rest of you will be taken back to the prison to await trial. Those who are accomplices will be beheaded, and those who are innocent will be expelled from Yingzhou City."

A shocking event happened in the palace today, shocking all the ministers and the surviving princes and concubines. Afterwards, the news spread and shocked the entire Yingzhou City.

For the safety of the treasure merchants, Lu Xunhuan had no choice but to make a quick decision.

He was too lazy to think about who he had done wrong or who he had let down.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

The news that Liang Nuo and Liang Jie were executed naturally reached the ears of the Crown Prince very quickly.

He was almost crazy with joy.

"Uncle Eighth Prince, you are this prince's biological father..."

With just one sentence, everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Prince, please don't say such things..."

The prince quickly covered his mouth and said, "No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that he's not my biological father, but he's better than my biological father, and much better than that Lu Xunhuan."

Everyone kowtowed again: "Prince..."

The prince wiped his forehead and said, "Well... Anyway, this prince is extremely grateful to Uncle Eighth Prince. That's all I want to say."

At dusk, Lu Xunhuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He asked Li Susu to call Meng Tian over.

"Meng Tian, ​​the Yingzhou City branch is no longer meaningful. Go to your brother's place."

Meng Tian nodded: "Okay, just a special envoy. Did you get the thing in the national treasury?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "I got it, so I should go now."

Meng Tian sighed: "Okay, I hope we can meet again soon."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "I hope so. Give all the maids enough wages so that they can all make a living."

Meng Tian saluted: "Take care."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Take care."

After Meng Tian left, Lu Xunhuan asked Li Susu to call Zeng Duo over.

He said to Zeng Duo, "My father gave you the task of raising funds, but I see that your business is not doing very well. Now that all states are undergoing reforms, you should think carefully. Helping the states sell their specialties is also helping you make money."

He took out a stack of banknotes and pushed them to Zeng Duo: "Use these five hundred thousand taels of banknotes as capital to open a shop selling Nanliang specialties."

Zeng Duo asked, "Are you leaving?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "Your Majesty's condition is very serious, and the Crown Prince has a prejudice against me. I will have to leave sooner or later. You can take all the male servants with you. The specialty shop needs manpower, which is perfect."

Zeng Duo stood up and saluted: "Yes."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Go ahead."

After Zeng Duo left, he called Li Susu in and said, "Take Bai Yuhuan with you and leave tonight, leaving Yingzhou City first."

Li Susu asked, "Where should we wait for you?"

Lu Xunhuan opened the window and looked at the sky, but it was covered with dark clouds and no stars could be seen.

He closed the window again: "Climb to the gate of heaven."
