The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Then, Liang Feng, dressed in a black outfit, descended from the sky.

Su Yong was forced to take two steps back, and became furious with embarrassment.

"And who are you? Do you think the Star Palace is a place anyone can just barge into?"

The words "star palace" are quite intimidating.

Liang Feng, however, remained unfazed. He stepped forward and said coldly, "I am Liang Feng, the Crown Prince's bodyguard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several more guards in military uniforms scaled the wall and entered, even going so far as to have four people carrying a sedan chair.

Inside the sedan chair, Shen Shijing's skin appeared even whiter against his deep purple robe as he leaned lazily against the back of the chair.

Su Yong's knees buckled immediately, and he knelt down respectfully.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects!"

After paying his respects, Su Yong raised his head again.

"I wonder what brings His Highness the Crown Prince to the Star Palace, and why he's making such a grand entrance?"

Shen Shijing didn't even lift his eyelids!

"I remember Lord Su. He was there when the Crown Prince's residence was built. But I searched for him for a long time afterward and could not find him."

"Lord Su, you've been so hard to find!"

After speaking, Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue.

"Whatever I want to ask, hasn't Miss Jiang already answered that question?"

Shen Shijing spoke only a few words, but his deterrent effect was extremely strong.

Su Yong's speech became stammering, but he still forced himself to raise his head and confront Shen Shijing head-on!

"As for what happened at the Crown Prince's residence back then, I was acting under orders. How could I possibly know what was unearthed or what kind of evil magic was used!"

"When did I say that my visit to you was related to evil magic?"

Shen Shijing's lips curled up slightly, and his ambiguous words made Su Yong unconsciously nervous.

When Su Yong realized he had been exposed, he trembled all over.

"It wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me, Your Highness. I was just following orders and never expected to be discovered. I was also afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to enter the palace for many years."

"Your Highness, please spare me!"

Su Yong knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground and begging for mercy.

Just then, Su Yong suddenly raised his head and unleashed a cloud of black energy from his palm, but Liang Feng swiftly countered it.

Liang Feng possessed immense internal strength and swift, decisive strikes. With just one palm, he caused Su Yong to vomit blood. However, Liang Feng was unaware that what struck him was not ordinary internal force, but a surge of malevolent energy.

"A futile attempt to teach a fish to swim!"

Liang Feng cursed fiercely, while Jiang Xianyue walked towards Su Yong.

"Lord Su, you attacked the Crown Prince. Now, no matter how many Star Palaces you are in, they can't protect you. You're doomed!"

Su Yong's eyes were full of mockery, but his expression changed when Jiang Xianyue took out a yellow talisman.

"who are you?"

Su Yong was learning metaphysical techniques at the Star Palace, but talismans were not something he could access. He knew that Jiang Xian Yue was no ordinary person when she made a move.

"You've messed with me, you're dead today!"

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, she bit her fingertip and drew a talisman in the air. A formation gradually surrounded Jiang Xianyue.

Everything about it was breathtaking.

This little girl moves with such speed and grace, like a fairy.

The talisman seemed to come alive, striking Su Yong directly between the eyebrows.

"Now I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it. If you tell even half a lie, you're dead!"

Her tone was full of threat, and Su Yong felt as if countless worms were gnawing at his entire body, causing him excruciating pain!

"What is your relationship with that Eunuch Su? In my opinion, the one who should be the father-in-law is the one who has no descendants."

Why, now it's someone else!

Su Yong was surprised, not expecting Jiang Xianyue to see through it at a glance.

His face was deathly pale, and he wanted to keep quiet, but the torment of pain made it impossible for him to continue.

Everyone watched as a perfectly healthy man suddenly began rolling around on the ground, as if under some invisible restraint. Su Yong's pain seemed genuine, more terrifying than any martial arts technique, and he was in excruciating agony.

"It's...it's me!"

Shen Shijing's hand, which was resting on the back of the chair, slowly tightened. He seemed surprised that Eunuch Su, who was close to the Emperor, could have such a scheme.

The person who was replaced by "Eunuch Su" turned out to be from the Star Palace.

The words "Star Palace" carry immense weight here. The Grand Preceptor is someone the Emperor trusts implicitly. With just a simple statement that Jiang Xian Yue's destiny is different, that she is born with the fate of a phoenix, the Emperor was able to bring Jiang Xian Yue over and let the princes choose her.

Not to mention that the people of Xinggong really plotted to harm him and his mother.

Jiang Xian Yue looked at Shen Shi Jing, whose expression was solemn, and asked again, "What exactly is that under the tree in the Crown Prince's residence?"

"It's a curse, a spell to change one's fate. But I was just following orders when I cast this spell, so don't blame me!"

At this moment, Su Yong was still struggling.

Jiang Xianyue turned around and looked at Shen Shijing.

"Does Your Highness believe it now?"

Shen Shijing did not express his opinion, but only looked at Su Yong.

"Who exactly is trying to harm me?"

Su Yong stammered, suppressing his pain, unable to speak.

Jiang Xianyue recited the incantation, and Su Yong's reaction became even stronger. Shen Shijing stood up, walked in front of Su Yong, and watched Su Yong struggle in great pain.

"Say!"

Just one word, yet it is incredibly intimidating.

Su Yong choked his throat and struggled to utter the syllables.

Just then, a voice came from outside the courtyard; it was the voice of the Grand Master whom I had met yesterday.

"You said the Second Prince was coming, go and prepare immediately!"

The Grand Preceptor's voice was booming, and Jiang Xianyue glanced at Shen Shijing.

"Let's ask him more questions later, he can't escape anyway!"

Jiang Xianyue reminded Shen Shijing that the matter of the Grand Preceptor was more important, and that if they made a fuss here, they would alert the enemy.

"Your Highness, please tie him up. If the Star Palace sends people now..."

Let's find out first!

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, Shen Shijing waved his hand, and his men tied Su Yong up and hid him away.

He hid him in a secret compartment of the Star-Picking Tower. A box fell out, and Jiang Xianyue bent down to pick it up. The box was made of fine mahogany with exquisite carvings.

"what is this?"

Jiang Xianyue looked up curiously and opened the box.

Inside the box was a top-quality elixir. Anyone with a background in metaphysics could tell at a glance that it was the best thing for restoring spiritual power and strengthening spells.

Jiang Xianyue smiled and took the things away.

"As expected of the Star Palace, it truly contains many rare and precious treasures!"

Jiang Xianyue smiled when she saw these things.

"But we don't even know if these things came from legitimate sources!"

Jiang Xianyue increasingly felt that there were no good people in this Star Palace.

"Now we need to know who this matter is related to!"

She went outside, only to see Liang Feng still standing at the door, while the others had already left.

She patted Liang Feng on the shoulder; his body was already stained with black energy from his fight with Su Yong.

"Burn the talisman, dilute it with water, and drink it!"

"Ah I?"

Liang Feng pointed at himself, looking incredulous, then turned his gaze to Shen Shijing.
