I heard His Highness has supernatural powers

Memories that had been buried for a long time flooded in, causing Fu Yun's consciousness to be swallowed up by the wave of memories in an instant.

Various fragments flashed before his eyes one by one.

He saw that at the age of eight, he practiced martial arts desperately at night, even though he was so tired that he fainted, he still held the short sword tightly in his hand.

Afterwards, he entered the Sword Domain with his own strength, subdued those subordinates who were eccentric but capable one by one, and became the domain master they respectfully called.

At night, he worked hard step by step, and gradually grew into a strong man who could stand on his own in a corner he could not see.And the hardships and pains involved, he never knew in the daytime.When all the emotions and emotions of the past flooded into his heart along with the memories, Fu Yun only felt a splitting headache and heartache.

In the end, the memory was frozen in the bloody night when he was eight years old.

It was a midsummer night, and the breeze slowly brought a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Eight-year-old Fu Yun was still a little doll carved in pink and jade, sleeping soundly on the bed at that time.The moonlight shone through the window on his fair and tender little face, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his breathing was even.Until a moderate door opening sound woke up the little man who was immersed in a sweet dream.Little Fu Yun opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed them, and was startled when he saw a black shadow walking towards him.After looking carefully, he was relieved when he found that it was his own mother.

He yawned and sat up: "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Fu, who broke in rashly, looked anxious, and hurriedly fished her son out of the bed, picked her up and ran away: "It's too late to explain. Yun'er, remember not to make a sound when you see anyone later, you know Yet?"

She hurriedly pushed the door out, and ran in one direction with shortness of breath.Not far away, a strange man's voice came faintly: "Go over there, search for me!"

Hearing this voice, Mrs. Fu became even more anxious, and ran wildly holding Fu Yun who didn't know why.

"Mother, why are we running?"

"Hush, Yun'er is good, don't talk, okay?"

While running, Mrs. Fu kept turning her head in horror, tears glistened in her pretty eyes, implying pain.Finally, they came to a room, and Mrs. Fu opened the secret cabinet in the room and hid Fu Yun inside.

"Yun'er, after your parents are gone, you have to take good care of yourself." Mrs. Fu cried while talking, and finally pressed a kiss on Fu Yun's forehead, and activated the mechanism next to her hand.

Seeing that the door of the dark pavilion was about to close, little Fu Yun, who finally realized something was wrong, panicked and wanted to climb out of the dark pavilion: "Mother, I don't want to stay here, I want to be with you."

Mrs. Fu cried and shook her head, she reached out her hand cruelly and touched little Fu Yun's acupuncture points.Little Fu Yun's crying stopped, his whole body froze like a log, and he could only watch helplessly as the door of the mechanism closed in front of him.With his last glance, what he saw was his mother's sad and relieved smile.

After the trap door was closed, Mrs. Fu, who could no longer control the poison in her body, fell limply to the ground.In order not to expose Fu Yun's location, she gritted her teeth and tried her last bit of strength to get up from the ground and crawl towards the bed.Little by little, I finally climbed onto the bed.Panting, she fell back on the bed.At this time, the fishy sweetness in her throat gushed out unbearably, winding down the corners of her lips.

The door was kicked open with a "bang".

Two men in black walked in with knives in hand, and the moonlight rushed into the room.The two men in black saw Mrs. Fu on the bed at a glance, ran over mercilessly, and stabbed Mrs. Fu in the neck.

The light of the knife flashed, and blood spattered everywhere.

Little Fu Yun, who was hiding in the secret pavilion, saw this scene through the gap between the gates of the secret pavilion.Her young body couldn't help trembling, and tears welled up in her big eyes.Those light brown eyes were filled with despair and disbelief.

At this moment, everything in the world turned gray and white, only the bright red on the ground was shocking.

In the house, after the two men in black had killed Mrs. Fu, they searched the house again, and when they saw that there was no one else, they left with a knife.

In the dark room, only the corpse of the woman, the messy furniture and the changed little Fu Yun hidden in the dark room remained.

As a young boy, he stared blankly through the gap between the doors of the dark pavilion to see more and more blood flowing towards the door, his mind went blank.After an unknown amount of time, when he raised his head again, those light brown eyes full of panic and despair changed, became cold, cruel and full of killing intent.

From that moment on, Fu Yun was no longer the original Fu Yun.

***

"don't want!!!"

The desperate and painful cry made Xuanjing, who had just woken up, instantly wake up.He sat up nervously and looked at Fu Yun.I saw Fu Yun's eyes wide open, staring at the veil on the top of the bed in horror, obviously he hadn't recovered from the nightmare.Thinking of Fu Yun returning in a daze last night, his heart sank.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a nightmare." Xuan Jing leaned over and hugged Fu Yun into his arms, comforting him softly.Feeling the trembling of the person in his arms, Xuan Jing's voice became more gentle, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Xu Xuanjing's reassurance played a role, and Fu Yun gradually calmed down.It's just that his hand clasped Xuanjing's waist was a little harder, and he buried his head deeply in Xuanjing's chest, desperately absorbing the warmth from Xuanjing's body.

The coldness in his blood rushed all the way to his heart along his bones.He is really cold, so cold.

Fu Yun quietly hugged Xuan Jing, was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Xuan Jing, you won't leave me in the future, will you?"

"...Well, I won't leave you." Xuan Jing patted Fu Yun's back lightly, promising.My heart was full of doubts because of Fu Yun's abnormality.What did he find out last night, and why did he become like this when he came back.First he fainted directly in front of him, followed by nightmares, and now... Even though there were countless doubts in his heart, seeing Fu Yun like this, he couldn't ask them out, so he could only comfort him patiently.

With Xuan Jing's promise, Fu Yun's body gradually warmed up, and he said sullenly: "If one day you die before me, I won't live alone."

Xuan Jing trembled, frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

On the other hand, Fu Yun hugged Xuan Jing even tighter, and said in a low voice, "It's not nonsense. It's just that if you lose someone close to you, it's too lonely to live alone." He closed his eyes, pursed his thin lips tightly, "Xuan Jing, that It hurts, really."

His whisper made Xuanjing's heart tremble slightly, and his black eyes became deep. After a long time, Xuan Jing sighed: "Okay, if this is what you expected. Of course, I will try my best to live a long, long life."

"Hmm..." After Fu Yun responded, he stopped talking.

Xuan Jing rubbed the top of Fu Yun's soft hair, and closed his eyes for deep thought.

Sunshine shines through the window on the two people hugging each other on the bed, the room is quiet, and the years are peaceful.

***

Because Fu Yun was not in a good condition, Xuan Jing asked someone to make some calming soup for him, and after he drank it, he went to court alone.The court is quite harmonious, at least on the surface.After coming down to court, Xuanjing did not return to King Jing's Mansion, but brought Tie Ying to Qilin's base camp.

This entry was very smooth.It was as if Yujue had expected that he would come to find him early on, and had greeted his subordinates in advance.

Qilin's disciples led Xuan Jing and the two into the courtyard, bowed and left, and Xuan Jing also waved Tie Ying back, letting him stay in the dark.There are some words that he doesn't want others to know.He walked slowly into the stone road paved with bluestone slabs, and came to the depths of the courtyard.There are all kinds of white rose flowers, which are really elegant and moving.Yujue, on the other hand, was sitting in a wheelchair, drinking fragrant tea leisurely and admiring the beautiful scenery, looking very leisurely.Seeing Xuan Jing approaching, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Jing is here, and I feel disrespectful and disrespectful."

Xuan Jing went to the stone bench next to Yu Jue and sat down with his robe lifted, and got straight to the point: "I won't talk about the polite words, Mr. Yu must have already guessed the purpose of this king's visit." He meant something.

Yu Jue put down the teacup in his hand, and smiled softly: "Did the lord come here because of the massacre of the Fu family?"

Xuan Jing smiled and said, "Not bad."

"It's a pity that I don't know much about it. I only know who hired Qilin to hunt down and kill Fu Hong, but I don't know anything else." Yu Jue was full of regret.

"This king naturally knows. This king just wants to know, is the person who ordered you to chase and kill Fu Hong really learned his words? If so, Mr. Yu just blinked his eyes. This is not a violation of the rules of your profession. It's gone." Xuanjing looked composed.

When Yujue heard this, his eyes lit up for a moment.He raised his hand and touched his chin subconsciously: "I suddenly regretted cooperating with the prince."

"Oh? Why?"

Yu Jue smiled: "Because it's easier to cooperate with smart people, but you may not get much money." This is the tacit consent of Xuan Jing's guess.As he spoke, he smiled and blinked, as a further answer to Xuan Jing.

After Xuanjing got the answer, his heart suddenly became clear, and all the puzzles were solved.But...you can't make much money by cooperating with smart people. This is to say that when he cooperated with him before, did he think he was a fool?Xuan Jing couldn't help laughing, and didn't take the other party's ridicule to heart.Once you get the answer you want, there is no need to stay any longer.He exchanged some polite words with Yu Jue, then got up to leave.

Seeing that Xuan Jing was about to leave, Yu Jue calmly said: "By the way, the man in brown clothes that the lord asked us to investigate a few days ago has news."

Xuan Jing who turned around and was about to leave stopped in his footsteps.

Just listen to Yu Jue said: "That person is not from the Huang Mansion, after entering the Huang Mansion, the steward of the Huang Mansion recognized his flaws, was treated as a spy and was beaten to death on the spot, the body is said to have been taken and fed to the dogs. "

Xuan Jing's hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly.In this way, the main messenger behind the Beijing official's suicide was not the Huang family.And if it weren't for the Huang family, excluding the Cheng family and the Qingliu party who had always remained neutral, only the Taiwei party would be left.

Captain, it turned out to be him again... Xuan Jing's eyes dimmed.

When Xuan Jing returned to King Jing's Mansion, Fu Yun had already woken up, but his mental state was still a bit bad.

He was half leaning against the bed, clearly his personality during the day, but those eyes that always had a clear smile on weekdays were now gloomy and full of unresolved melancholy.In the evening sunlight, his side face also showed a sense of bleakness, and it looked much lighter than before.

When Xuan Jing returned to the bedroom, what he saw was this scene.

"Xiao Yun."

Hearing Xuan Jing's voice, Fu Yun came back from his contemplation, and looked up in a daze: "Jing..."

"What's going on? You're in a bad state." Xuan Jing quickly walked to him and sat down.

Hearing this, Fu Yun lowered his head and moved his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't make a sound.

Seeing Fu Yun like this, Xuan Jing couldn't help frowning.He held Fu Yun's slightly thin shoulders with both hands, and clenched them tightly: "Look at me!"

Fu Yun raised his head in a daze, looking into Xuan Jing's eyes.

"Keeping things to yourself will not do you any good other than making yourself uncomfortable. I think you should understand this." Xuan Jing's tone was a bit harsh.

Fu Yun looked at him, his eyes dimmed, "I'm sorry, I just... can't get used to it for a while."

"You don't have to say sorry to me, the person you are sorry for is not me, but yourself."

Fu Yun's eyes trembled, Xuan Jing's words were like a boulder hitting his heart.Yes, he has never been sorry only for himself.

"Has it been confirmed that the people from Jianyu killed Huang Chengwang?" Xuan Jing calmed down and asked.

Fu Yun's eyes flickered, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Yes."

Xuan Jing withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his lips curled up in a sarcastic arc: "Sure enough, it's a good one to kill someone with a borrowed knife, which is worthy of the truth of language."

Hearing this, Fu Yun was puzzled and said, "Why borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Xuan Jing let go of his hand, and looked at him seriously: "You don't know, the murderer who caused the entire family of the Fu family to be wiped out has two waves of influence, one is the Taiwei Yanxuezhen, and the other is the Huang family."

Seeing that Fu Yun was getting more and more confused, he stood up and explained: "The people of Jianyu killed Huang Chengwang, and the Huang family immediately destroyed the Fu family to take revenge. This speculation is very reasonable. But you forgot the most important point, who is it?" Placed an order to buy Huang Chengwang's life in Sword Domain? This talent is the key. Besides, your mother's identity is so secret that even Tie Ying couldn't find it out, so where did the Huang family know about it?"

"Following this, it is not difficult to speculate that someone deliberately leaked your mother's identity to the Huang family, which is why the Huang family was able to lock the Fu family so accurately and destroy you. I originally thought that the person who leaked this news was Qiu Yan. After all, if it is Qiu Yan, then everything can be explained. As for the person who placed the order to buy Huang Chengwang's life, maybe it is just an enemy of the Huang family. However, if the Huang family just wanted to vent their anger, then your family was wiped out in the first place. In the end, their goal has been achieved. Everyone in the Fu family lost their lives to Huang Chengwang except you, and their hatred has been vented. It is the best proof that you can live well to this day. In this case, they Naturally, the Huang family won't go out of their way to spend money to find Qilin and let them hunt down and kill an insignificant butler. So... who wants the life of Butler Fu?"

Fu Yun's face was pale, and he said in shock: "You mean, it's the Taiwei's killing order?"

Xuan Jing turned around and said coldly: "Not bad!"

"This person is the mastermind behind the destruction of the Fu family. In order to prove my guess, I have just asked Yujue and confirmed the matter."

"It turned out to be him!" Fu Yun's lips lost all color, and he clenched his teeth.

"Well. Qiu Yan is his subordinate. He first learned about the relationship between your mother and Jianyu from Qiuyan. Then he deliberately placed an order in Jianyu, demanding Huang Chengwang's life, in order to create a relationship between Jianyu and the Huang family. After the killer in Jianyu succeeded, he sent someone to leak your mother's identity to the Huang family. In order to get revenge, the Huang family bribed the housekeeper of your Fu family to poison your family and slaughtered your entire family at night. Because The butler is also the hero of this revenge, so the Huang family didn't take the life of Butler Fu, but gave him a sum of money to let him go."

"But the Taiwei is a very cautious person. He is afraid that someone will find clues from Fu Hong and find him in the future, so he sent Qilin to hunt down Fu Hong, intending to kill the grass and root it out, and at the same time blame the Huang family again. I Guess, I'm afraid Fu Hong thought that it was the Huang family who sent people to hunt and kill him, not others."

Following Xuan Jing's analysis, Fu Yun's eyes filled with endless anger: "Bastards! How could they..." Thinking of that night, Fu Yun's eyes turned red again, and his body kept trembling.

Xuan Jing walked to the bedside and hugged him into his arms: "Xiao Yun, the deceased is gone, what we can do now is to live well besides taking revenge. Only in this way can we live up to your parents' expectations of you, right? ?”

Thinking of his mother's last gentle and gratifying smile, Fu Yun hugged Xuan Jing tightly and closed his eyes.Tears dripped down his cheeks onto Xuan Jing's neck, scorching into his heart.

***

Ever since he knew the true ambition of Taiwei Yanxue, Xuan Jing dared not underestimate this number one rival.Taking advantage of the rest day, he hurriedly invited Cheng Zimo and Yujue, the heads of the married family, to Zuiyun Tower together.Zuiyunlou is a well-known restaurant in the capital. It has an elegant environment, a variety of dishes and good taste, and the most important thing is that there are many customers coming and going, which is easy to deceive.

Before it was time for dinner, Zuiyun Building was already full of guests.No matter in the lobby on the first floor or in the private rooms on the second floor, all kinds of high-spirited conversations can be heard.A box near the corner is different from other noisy atmospheres, it looks very quiet.

In the box, Xuan Jing is playing chess with Yu Jue.The white pieces and the black pieces have already occupied most of the chessboard. It seems that the strength of the two sides is equal, and the winner has not yet been decided.Beside the chessboard, a few light smoke slowly rises from the incense burner, thin as gossamer, and gradually dissipates in the air.

In the room, it was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing.

Xuanjing's slender fingers pinched the sunspots, and they landed somewhere on the chessboard.The leisurely smile on Yu Jue's lips froze, and the smile in his eyes also restrained a bit.Fingers caressed the white pieces irritably, and when he was thinking about how to break Xuanjing's chess game, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Master Xuan, your friend has arrived." The voice of the receptionist came from outside the door.

Xuan Jing picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Come in."

The door opened, and Cheng Zimo, who was dressed in a purple robe and had a face like a crown of jade, walked in.With a gentle smile on his face, he cupped his hands towards Xuan Jing.Xiao Er behind him bowed and closed the door.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down." Xuan Jing smiled.

Cheng Zimo knew that Xuan Jing didn't like salutes very much outside the palace, so he just nodded slightly and prepared to sit down.However, when he turned his gaze, when he saw Yu Jue sitting opposite Xuan Jing, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Unlike him, Yujue was much calmer.Seeing Cheng Zimo, he even showed a refined and kind smile: "Master Cheng, please come and be safe."

Cheng Zimo froze, sat down at the table, the veins on his forehead twitched, "I am worried about Pavilion Master Laoyu." After speaking, he glanced at Xuanjing with some uncertainty, not knowing what Xuanjing meant.After all, in the Luobei case, they were the ones who got married and bribed Qilin to hunt down Xuanjing.Now they got married and belonged to Xuanjing, but Xuanjing invited Qilin's leader over here. Is this a settlement after the fall?For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Seeing Cheng Zimo's forced smile, Xuan Jing guessed what he was thinking.He raised the teapot and filled the empty teacup in front of Cheng Zimo, and said slowly, "Master Cheng, don't worry, I have invited the two of you here because I need your help on important matters."

It is said to help, but in fact it is to start assigning tasks.After gathering Cheng Jia and Qilin, Xuan Jing never gave them any orders.

"Oh?" Cheng Zimo, who was at ease, and Yu Jue, who looked interested, looked over after hearing the words.

Xuan Jing said: "I would like to ask the two of you to dig two tunnels for this king, one is the tunnel from the Huang family's mansion to King Jing's mansion, and the other is the tunnel from King Jing's mansion to the outskirts of the capital. It will be completed in half a month."

Cheng Zimo and Yu Jue were shocked at the same time.It is illegal to dig tunnels privately in the Han Dynasty, not to mention the tunnels that Xuan Jing said, one is from his own house to the main house of the court officials, and the other is to bypass the city guards and lead to the outside of the city, it can be said to be extremely daring.If the emperor finds out, it will be a crime against the Jiu Clan!

Seeing that the two were silent, Xuan Jing said with a smile: "You just have to do it, this king has his own measure."

Cheng Zimo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, my lord, we will do it immediately." Although this task is a bit risky, since their family has already chosen to stand on Xuanjing's side, it is naturally difficult to refuse Xuanjing's request.

Compared with Cheng Zimo, Yu Jue has no such worries.He and Xuan Jing are only in partnership, and they still have the right to discuss when something happens.He frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "I don't know what is the use of the prince digging this tunnel?"

Xuan Jing smiled: "Naturally, it is used to save life and make money. Only when this is done, will this king be able to pay the pavilion master."

When it comes to remuneration, Yu Jue narrowed his eyes, which is an implicit threat.If he doesn't follow, then wouldn't the information he provided before be in vain.He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and said decisively: "Since the prince has said so, Qilin should go all out."

"Then trouble you two, here is Xuan toasting you two with tea instead of wine." Xuan Jing said, raising the teacup in his hand.

Yu Jue and Cheng Zimo looked at each other, raised their tea cups to touch Xuan Jing's tea cup lightly, and said in unison: "Please!"

After explaining the important matters, Xuan Jing and the two had lunch together, and then returned to Prince Jing's mansion.After returning home, he immediately ordered Tie Ying to find a way to purchase a large number of pangolins, and he also asked that the sooner the better.

Tie Ying, who heard about pangolins for the first time, had a rare expression of bewilderment on his face: "Pangolin?"

Seeing this, Xuanjing thought something was wrong, could it be that there are no pangolins in this world?He entered the study without giving up, and sketched a picture on the rice paper: "It's this kind of small animal with a carapace on the surface, especially good at digging holes."

Tie Ying looked at the pattern carefully, and suddenly realized: "So the master, you are talking about a crustacean."

Sure enough, it was just a different name, Xuan Jing said with a sigh of relief: "That's right, it's this kind of animal, buy me hundreds of them."

Tie Ying immediately knelt down and said, "Yes!"

When Tie Ying flew away, a gleam of light flashed quickly under Xuan Jing's black eyes.The escape route has been arranged, and next, just follow the steps and adapt to the situation.

Taiwei Mansion, inside the secret road.

In the dark and damp cave, you can hardly see your fingers.Only a few sporadic fires can be faintly seen in the deepest part of the cave.Inside the empty stone wall, apart from the dripping sound of water dripping from the stone wall to the ground, there is only the terrifying howling sound like a wild animal.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The voice seemed to be a human cry, but it didn't sound like a human being's voice, it only made one's hair stand on end and one's body was chilled.

Suddenly, the stone door of the cave was activated from the outside and slid open from both sides.After a rumbling sound of the stone door rubbing against the ground, two figures walked in.The person walking in front was dressed in a black fine attire, his hair was combed meticulously, and his face was not angry and majestic. He was the imperial captain - Yan Xuezhen.The man behind him looked to be in his 40s, with an ordinary face, except for a very abrupt mole on his right lip.Holding a torch, the man cautiously followed behind Yan Xuezhen and said, "Master, there is news from the palace, and this is here."

As he spoke, the man took out a small package from his arms, bent down and handed it to Yan Xuezhen.Linguistics raised his hand expressionlessly to take it.It was a small package wrapped in brocade cloth. When it was opened, it contained a red handkerchief. The handkerchief smelled of blood and medicine.Yan Xuezhen stopped, picked up the handkerchief and took a closer look under the torch. When he saw a mass of deep red blood in the center of the handkerchief, he sneered: "This old guy is going to die at last."

The old guy that Ling Xuezhen is talking about is naturally the current emperor.Since Yan Xuezhen climbed step by step from a small official to the top military officer, it can be said that he has gone through hardships and suffered a lot of stares and humiliation.However, the emperor's old man did not see him well.It's nothing more than all kinds of small means to suppress his influence in normal times, but now he wants to abolish his grandson's position as the prince and praise the son of that lowly maid, how can he bear this bad breath.

Ten years of resentment has long been smoldering in the chest, and it only needs a small ignition point to erupt in an all-round way, and finally form a prairie fire.

Thinking that the emperor was about to die, Yan Xuezhen felt extremely happy, and the bad breath in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.He threw the handkerchief aside casually, squinted and said, "How is the quality of this batch of dead soldiers?"

The follower behind him smiled and said: "Very good, even if Fu Yun is here, he may not be the opponent of any of them."

"Very good." Yan Xuezhen smiled, and a venomous light flashed in his eyes.He had waited for this moment for too long.

After all, not in words.He hurriedly walked into the cave, and the man behind him hurriedly followed with a torch.The two walked along the cave wall all the way, and when they reached the end, it suddenly became clear.There is another cave below, a huge stone room filled with huge iron cages.Inside each iron cage was a huge, muscular man.The strange thing is that these men all have bruises in their faces, and their eyes are dull and lifeless.The joints of the neck and limbs are all locked with thick iron chains, which are set on the four corners of the cage.Seeing someone coming in, the dozen or so men locked in the cage bared their teeth and yelled loudly, and the yelling was a hundred times louder than when no one was there.When the call came to the point of excitement, the internal force even shattered several places in the stone wall through the sound, and the rolling rubble instantly fell from the top of the wall.

For a while, the stone room continued to rumble.

The attendant hurriedly protected Yan Xuezhen behind him, and shouted: "Master, be careful!" As he spoke, he took out a flute from his bosom and played it. The clear sound of the flute sounded, and those crazy men suddenly seemed obedient. The child became quiet and stood still.

The attendant man breathed a sigh of relief, put down his flute and looked at Yan Xuezhen: "Master, what do you think?"

Yan Xuezhen's eyes brightened. He looked at these dead men whose minds had been manipulated and their minds had been manipulated, and their force value had reached the peak after being transformed by drugs. He yelled with a rare emotion: "Okay, very good, very good! With them , Fu Yun, Tie Ying, they are not my opponents! Hahahaha!"

He laughed heartily, washing away the humiliation of looking at people and bowing his knees in the early years.After laughing, he said: "How about the prince?"

The follower said: "I have already greeted the crown prince, and he agreed."

"Well, I'm quite acquainted."

"It's just... do we really want to hide it from Miss?" The servant hesitated.The young lady he was talking about was Yan Xuezhen's only daughter, the current empress, and the prince's biological mother.

Thinking of that useless daughter, Yan Xuezhen frowned and said, "Don't mention her to me, you useless guy. You can even grab a man's heart, but let yourself fall into it, hum!"

Seeing that Yan Xue was really angry, the follower didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to bow his head timidly and kept silent.

Under the light of the torch, Yan Xuezhen thought of his upcoming birthday banquet, and the blood in his body couldn't help but boil.Soon, it won't be long, this world will be his!

***

Xuanjing has been very busy these days.During the day, he had to pretend to be nonchalant and go up to the court, and occasionally had a verbal confrontation with those princes.The next dynasty still has to supervise the progress of digging the tunnel. Fortunately, Cheng Jia and Qilin are still reliable, and the digging team they found is very competent. Under Xuanjing's command, the digging is proceeding in an orderly manner without any mistakes.Moreover, after Xuanjing asked Tie Ying to buy nearly a hundred pangolins, the speed of tunnel digging increased rapidly.The workers dug holes during the day, and at night the pangolins continued to dig non-stop under the guidance of Xuan Jing. In this way, within five days, the tunnel from Prince Jing’s Mansion to Huang’s House had been completely dug, and only the tunnel from King Jing’s Mansion to the outskirts of the capital was left. There is still a short distance left in the tunnel.If the tunnel diggers from the Huang family are dispatched, and if the three parties work hard at the same time, according to the previous speed estimate, it only takes one day to complete the rest of the tunnel.

For this speed, Xuanjing is very satisfied.After the retreat is done, he can give it a go without any scruples.
