"Yes, yes, this guy likes money, but he'll go treasure hunting and tomb raiding, the treasures inside are much more valuable." Feng Ji said with a grin.

Xu Ya's face showed jealousy. "Hmph, you've been there with him a few times. You probably got a lot of benefits from it, and you probably developed feelings for him while you were there, right?"

"Hehe, if you're envious, you can go with him. Let me tell you a secret: I heard from bad guys that he needs a lot of money. I wanted to give him some, but he didn't appreciate it and said he doesn't like women's charity. He's so cute. I really like men like that."

"You're such a fangirl!" Xu Ya rolled her eyes.

"Don't talk about me, I bet you'll be the same way then." Feng Ji tilted her head and laughed again, "Let me think about it, you and I both like the same man, you're the white one and I'm the black one, and we can't get close to each other. What will he do when we're with the bad guy? I never thought we'd become sisters, hehe, it's funny to think about."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ya stumbled and quickly stopped, saying, "We're talking about serious matters now."

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Feng Ji stopped smiling. Seeing Xu Ya blush, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself, wondering if he should help Xu Ya get involved with the bad guy.

At this moment, Xu Ya said, "When Wu Lande returns, the two princes and Princess Lixue will only hear their uncle's side of the story. They will definitely exaggerate the matter and smear the emperor."

"And he certainly wouldn't talk about the bad things he did himself."

"I heard from the gatekeepers of the city that Wu Lande has a bad reputation. However, the things he did were all in some southern countries, not in the Holy Empire, so the people of our country did not pay attention to him. Even if they knew about it, they would not ask too many questions, let alone reprimand or investigate him."

Feng Ji understood immediately. "Alright, let's find out the whole story as quickly as possible and leave Emperor Delin speechless."

She then changed the subject again, "However, with Wu Lande's death, two princes being injured, and so many guards killed, it will be difficult to quell the anger of the court officials and generals in the Holy Empire. They may still take action against the Emperor."

"Therefore, if necessary, our two sects will step in, and the ins and outs of the matter must be clear and well-founded."

Xu Ya smiled and said, "Now you finally understand. Last night, the Emperor took the initiative to kill Wu Lande. He may have not only offended him, but also done something that made the Emperor very angry."

"You can tell from the fact that he took the initiative to let the two princes go that day that he had left room for maneuver, but he was later injured by Li Ni and harbored resentment."

"Afterwards, Wu Lande was killed, which must have been a ploy. When I get back, I will persuade the two princes to suppress the matter and delay it for a few days. There will be no problem with my cousin's side as well."

"As long as it is found that Wu Lande did something, you and I can put pressure on the Holy Empire. I believe they will not do anything to the Emperor. At most, they will be unhappy and deal with him in secret, or look for an opportunity to make trouble for the Emperor again."

Feng Ji thought about how Wu Lande was killed and the Emperor took the initiative to come to his door. She guessed that Princess Li Yili was the one who instigated it, but she didn't say anything because she had no evidence. She couldn't afford to cause any more trouble right now.

After a while, she chuckled and said, "Looks like you'll be one of my sisters soon. No need for thanks, everyone's here for their own man. I'm off."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Xuya with a flushed face.

At this moment, Princess Li Yanfeng thought to herself that she did not have the same deep affection for the Emperor as Feng Ji. Then she recalled the embrace that night, and the sweetness in her heart was unforgettable.

Although Li Fei was angry in the academy, he knew he was no match for the emperor. He had almost been killed in the early morning and knew that the other party did not take his status as a prince seriously at all. So what was the point of getting angry?

He later learned that the other person didn't intend to escape; they had already taken leave the day before.

Not long after, Xu Ya arrived and, using her identity as a princess of the Phoenix Clan, instructed the two princes to keep Wu Lande's death and everything that had happened from being reported to the country or the emperor by anyone involved. She even threatened them with the possibility of triggering a war.

The two princes had no choice but to agree, but they told the Phoenix Princess that even if they didn't report it, the matter couldn't be kept secret for long and would be reported back to the country in a few days.

Knowing that time was of the essence, Xu Ya ordered the leaders of the various cities and regions in the south to thoroughly investigate Wu Lande's daily conduct, especially the incident outside Duna City where he encountered the emperor and his accomplices fighting that day, including those who were present at the time.

Although the Dark Sect in the Eastern Continent is less manpowerful than the Li Yan Sect, and they all hide in the shadows, they are much more adept at investigating illegal activities than the Li Yan Sect. With the orders of Princess Feng Ji, the Dark Sect disciples dare not be negligent.

Therefore, the truth was revealed in just two days, especially regarding the events of that day. The details were clear, and all the testimonies from various parties, including the child and evidence of Wu Lande's actions, were sent to a courtyard outside the academy as quickly as possible. The evidence and testimonies arrived on the fourth day, filling two large boxes.

After Feng Ji discovered these things, he went to find the bad guys, and Xu Ya knew what would happen next.

This courtyard was purchased by Xuya's people, and it is surrounded by disciples and guards, so its safety is beyond question.

When the two princes, Li Fei and Princess Li Xue, arrived, she explained the whole story, and everyone finally understood the intricacies of the matter.

At this moment, Li Fei shouted, "Even so, it's true that the Emperor killed hundreds of my empire's officials and guards, injured my brothers, and wanted to kill my siblings and me, isn't it?"

Xu Ya angrily said, "Hmph, Wu Lande is an important minister of the empire and runs the royal merchant group. He naturally represents the image of the empire in public, yet he has done so many illegal things."

"Speaking of the matter of abusing young girls, I'm afraid this is not the first time. If something like this happened in front of me, I would kill Wu Lande and the rest of this merchant group without regard for the consequences. They all deserve to die."

Seeing her anger, Li Fei knew that although they usually addressed each other as cousins, if the Phoenix Princess really wanted to retaliate, even he, as a prince, couldn't do anything about it. Besides, his uncle's actions had gone too far, and no one dared to take responsibility or help him. This was a taboo and something that the world despised.

“You should thank the Emperor for getting rid of a scourge like Wu Lande.” Then Xu Ya coldly added, “When he travels outside, he represents your father and is also your mother’s only brother. If things really escalate, I’m afraid it will be your father and mother who lose face in the end.”

"When that time really comes, I'm afraid the three of you siblings will be pointed at and gossiped about in this academy. Would you still have the face to stay at Red Moon Academy then?"

"Does that mean we should thank the Emperor?" Li Zhijie said.

Xu Ya said, "The emperor did go a bit too far and was even manipulated, but he did not make a mistake on matters of principle and indirectly saved the face of the royal family, including the three of you."

"There were many misunderstandings involved in the injury, and I can understand your feelings."
