Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

In the deep palace.

Wang Bao slowly walked out with a middle-aged man who was dressed as a eunuch and had a very thin build.

This man has a very ordinary face.

His skin was extremely pale, and it was obvious that he had not seen the sun for many years.

The two of them walked and stopped, avoiding the palace guards along the way.

Finally, at midnight, we arrived at the Yuqing Palace.

Concubine Xiao Shufei, with bloodshot eyes, was still sitting there motionless, just like she was in the afternoon.

When she saw Wang Bao coming back, her unfocused pupils finally showed some changes.

"My lady, the person has been brought here."

Following Wang Bao's voice, Concubine Xiao Shufei turned her gaze to the pale man behind him.

"Huang Qi, do you know me?"

The other party chuckled and said without any respect in his tone:

"Who doesn't know that there's a demon concubine in our Daqian Palace who's causing chaos?"

"Huang Qi, you've been imprisoned for fifteen years. Now I'm giving you a chance to get out. How about that?"

Concubine Xiao Shufei didn't care about his offense. Compared with the hatred between her and Qin Ming, it was nothing.

Huang Qi said calmly:

"Can I not answer it?"

"Why wouldn't you take the chance of freedom?!"

Concubine Xiao Shu glared at the other person fiercely.

Huang Qi is the leader of the Luo Sect. In those days, both the southern and northern martial arts circles regarded him as the number one without any dispute!

The Luo sect he belonged to had tens of thousands of followers at its peak.

However, later, because Luojiao was unwilling to be controlled by the imperial court, a fierce battle broke out between them.

The followers of the sect were slaughtered and dispersed, and the leader Huang Qi was also captured and taken to the palace.

The reason why he was not killed was simply because the Luo Sect had a secret method that could only be mastered by each generation of the sect leader.

This secret method can directly transfer the internal energy of the previous generation leader into the body of the next leader.

This means that every leader of the Luo Sect will be invincible as soon as he is born!

People in the imperial court have always coveted this secret technique and wanted to torture it out.

However, Huang Qi never revealed the secret even when he died.

Fifteen years passed, and people gradually forgot about his existence and kept him imprisoned in a dark death cell.

Now Qin Ming is facing a large number of soldiers and is guarded by experts.

The only one who can guarantee that he can kill him is Huang Qi!

In response to Concubine Xiao Shufei's questioning, Huang Qi simply said:

"My Lady, I've endured these past fifteen years, so a few more won't make a difference."

"You went to such great lengths to release me. The task you entrusted me with must be incredibly difficult."

"Although I'm in the prison, I've heard a lot about your evil deeds from the surrounding death row prisoners. Why should I help you?"

Although Luojiao was against the imperial court, it did not mean that Huang Qi was a bad person.

On the contrary, he is a guy who is both good and evil.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

She roared sternly:

"Huang Qi! Do you really think you are invincible?"

"You can defeat one, ten, or even a hundred men! But you are now in the Imperial Palace! Believe it or not, with one command from me, the thousands of Imperial Guards searching for you will come in and tear you to pieces!"

Huang Qi is indeed very powerful, but he is just one person.

Faced with the power of Concubine Xiao Shufei, even he could not break through and leave the palace by force.

After staring deeply at Concubine Xiao Shufei, Huang Qi sighed helplessly.

"Tell me, what are you doing?"

"Take this pill and go kill the King of Qin."

Concubine Xiao Shu threw the medicine box in her hand to the ground, and the sound of her voice was like thunder!

"So cruel... You royal family are really like a tiger eating its own cubs."

Huang Qi frowned, but he did not feel any fear.

There are few people in this world who can stop him from killing people.

He might have some concerns only if there were a huge army involved.

The box opened with a click.

Huang Qi looked at the pale yellow pill inside and said:

"what is this?"

"Heart-eating Gu, kill King Qin, and I will give you the antidote!"

The name made Huang Qi's eyelids jump.

The heart-eating insect is one of the most vicious insects in Miaojiang.

It is said that when an attack occurs, the pain feels like thousands of insects devouring flesh and blood, and some people may even die from the pain!

"I don't believe you."

Huang Qi immediately waved his hand. He was unwilling to hand over his life to such a vicious woman.

That would be like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

"With your strength, go out and recover for a while, then you can come and kill me at any time."

Concubine Xiao Shufei was a little anxious.

I thought everything would be fine if Huang Qi was released.

But no one expected that this guy would be so difficult to deal with.

He even kept negotiating terms with himself.

"makes sense."

Huang Qi suddenly thought of something and a smile appeared on his lips.

Then he threw the yellow pill into his mouth.

"gone."

He turned around and strode away without looking back.

"By the way, I'll take the pearl necklace around your neck and the bracelet on your hand as travel expenses."

"What!?"

Wang Bao and Concubine Xiao Shufei both froze.

She quickly reached out to touch her neck, only to find that the pearl necklace on her neck was gone.

As for the table in his hand, it had long disappeared without a trace!

"How can this be!"

Wang Bao saw Huang Qi with his own eyes just now.

Huang Qi was at least dozens of feet away from Concubine Xiao Shufei.

But even so, he still took away the ornaments on Concubine Xiao Shufei.

The key is still on the neck. Being able to touch the neck means that he had countless opportunities to kill Concubine Xiao Shufei!

Is he a god?

"It seems we all underestimated him!"

Concubine Xiao Shu broke out in a cold sweat and muttered to herself.

"My Lady, do you think Huang Qi will break the Heart-Eating Gu and then stop helping us?"

Wang Bao was a little worried.

Now all of Concubine Xiao Shufei's hopes are placed on Huang Qi.

In order to kill Qin Ming, she even released the remnants of the Luo Sect.

If they fail to accomplish their goal, they will suffer a great loss once the truth is revealed!

"Each type of Heart-Eating Gu is unique, and the methods of removing it vary greatly. It's impossible for him to remove it."

Concubine Xiao Shu spoke in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Wang Bao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distant capital, when something happened in the imperial palace.

Qin Ming didn't know.

He is now doing his best to strike the Xiao family.

After losing two backbones, the third sister-in-law Chu Xiuyun took up the banner of the Xiao family.

But she had no confidence.

One reason is that she is not a member of the Xiao family, and her father is just the owner of a small cloth shop.

The second reason is that she is incompetent and makes frequent mistakes when handling Xiao family affairs.

Qin Ming just arranged for Sun Miao to hold her down, and Chu Xiuyun couldn't make any waves.

Late at night, Qin Ming and Sun Miao sat opposite each other.

The two of them looked at the account books of their recent business together.

"The Xiao family is finished."

Qin Ming made a judgment and Sun Miao nodded heavily.

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Concubine Xiao Shu will not let you go. If the Xiao family falls, she will go crazy."

After a moment of silence, Sun Miao suddenly spoke.

Qin Ming shrugged and said:

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate."

"Do you have an intelligence network in this area?"

Sun Miao was a little curious.

He had never heard of Qin Ming building an intelligence network in Lingnan or Jiangnan.

But at this time Qin Ming smiled slightly and said:

“Not before, but now…”
