Chapter 764
I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess
âXia chengkun is not a good judge of character. He indirectly caused the deaths of countless officials and wealthy merchants. He also threw the face of the royal family, stripped King Long âan of his title, and stripped him of his status as a Prince. Without my permission, he is not allowed to take a single step out of the mansion!â He Dabaoâs eyes were filled with mockery as he coldly spoke.
He closed the Imperial edict.
She looked at him coldly.
âReceive the decree!â
The ninth Prince stood up from the ground and accepted the Imperial edict calmly.
âYou didnât expect this, did you? Retribution actually came so quickly! A moment ago, he was the high and mighty ninth Prince, King Long an, but the next second, heâs a prisoner. â He Dabao sneered and continued to trample on his dignity.
âIâm indeed a dog, but at least I have freedom and a bit of power. Iâm much better than you, a cripple. â
He smiled complacently and left with his men.
They left the hall.
âGuard this place well, donât let even a fly in.â
The door closed from the outside.
The ninth Princeâs eyes were cold as he looked at the Imperial edict in his hand. He then looked toward the Imperial Palace.
âWhy are you doing this? No matter what, Iâm still your flesh and blood. Even if you drive me out of the capital, itâs still better than imprisoning me. â
......
The force on his palm gradually increased.
He held the Imperial edict tightly.
He scratched a mark on it and only stopped when he was about to tear the Imperial edict.
âYou know? Actually, this King has not lost yet. Do you all think that this King has used up all his trump cards? Iâm afraid Iâll have to disappoint you guys. Letâs just watch a song and see who will have the last laugh!â
The Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial study.
The Imperial court was closed today, and there was no morning assembly.
However, there were still a lot of government affairs. Emperor Sheng Wen had a simple breakfast in the morning and then dealt with the official Affairs here. He had only just finished reviewing the memorials that had piled up like a small mountain.
He put down his pen.
He took the snow ginseng tea from eunuch Zhu and gently closed the lid. He took a sip and handed the cup over. Then, he took a piece of white Lotus cake and ate it.
He finished eating.
He wiped the remaining pastry from his mouth.
âDid I fail?â
âThe ninth Prince failed, but Princess Wei Wei is dead.â Eunuch Zhu said.
Her life Jade tablet was still in the palace.
The moment she committed suicide, the Jade tablet of life she left in the palace shattered. Eunuch Zhu also received the news at the first moment.
âWho killed him?â Emperor Sheng Wen was stunned.
âTheyâre not our people. â Eunuch Zhu shook his head.
âAccording to the intelligence Department, Princess Wei Wei tried to break into the monolith heaven-guarding formation, but she was heavily injured by the ninth Prince and escaped with a secret technique. After that, the North Sea Dragon race chased after the dream blood demon and the other two. Our people arenât proficient in earth-type abilities, so we lost track of them after we entered the ground. â
He told her his guess.
âThis old servant surmises that it should be this Clansman from the northern Sea Dragon race who killed him.â
âThat five-clawed Golden Dragon?â
âYes.â Eunuch Zhu replied.
âThe North Sea Dragon race is really bold. They actually dared to release a five-clawed Golden Dragon that hasnât even grown up yet. Arenât they afraid of being killed outside?â
âThis old servant has already sent people to pursue him. Weâll do our best to capture him!â
âYes.â Emperor Sheng Wen nodded in satisfaction.
His expression darkened.
âWhat a pity! If we donât capture her personally, we wonât be able to find out the Empressâs whereabouts from her. â
âThe Empress is blessed by the heavens and will definitely be safe and sound.â
âHow is ninth brotherâs reaction now?â Emperor Sheng Wen asked again.
He hesitated for a moment.
Eunuch Zhu still told him about the ninth Princeâs current situation.
Through he Dabaoâs oral account, he exaggerated and exaggerated.
âYou should take care of your subordinates. Donât let your own people not know when they have been infiltrated.â Emperor Sheng Wen said.
âDonât worry, Your Majesty! This old servant will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. â
âNinth brother is right. No matter how unbearable he is, he is still my Prince. How can he be humiliated by a dog? After the interrogation is over, deal with him and his family outside the palace. â
âItâs Your Majesty!â Eunuch Zhu replied respectfully.
âNinth brother has done a good job this time. His character and tactics are up to standard. He still dared to put up a fight in a desperate situation. He didnât lose face for me.â
He paused for a moment.
Emperor Sheng Wen shook his head again.
âBut Iâve already given him a chance. A failure is a failure. If he canât even break through the current situation to make me Crown Prince, how can he break through the situation when he faces more people joining hands in the future? And how would he lead great Xia to rise? Sweep across the Zhou nation, exterminate the foreign races, and unify the fantasy realm continent? To make Xia country a Supreme existence?â
Eunuch Zhu couldnât respond to this, nor did he dare to.
âYour Majesty, are you really not going to give the ninth Prince any chance?â Eunuch Zhu asked after a moment of silence.
âToo many officials have died this time. Old sixteen and the others have also died. This is a good opportunity to attack him. Whether itâs public or private, someone has to be responsible for this matter.â
His index finger tapped on the Dragon Throne.
âWhat do you think about Ji Dongyangâs matter?â
âIs Lei Yuantai still waiting outside?â
âYes.â
âLet him in!â Emperor Sheng Wen said.
Eunuch Zhu passed down the order, and soon the door of the hall opened from the outside, and Lei Yuantai walked in.
âYour Majesty!â
âYes.â Emperor Sheng Wen replied calmly.
Lei Yuantai selectively told him about Ji Dongyangâs matter. According to Ji Dongyangâs previous words, he was not from great Xia, but a spy planted by the royal family of Zhou.
They wanted to use the bride (the maid) to control the ninth Prince and help him become the Crown Prince. Then, they would control him until the Zhou Kingdom completely annexed the great Xia.
