Chapter 1022: Catch One and Ask
"Your sister? Stop dreaming, little brat. Where did your sister come from? If the emperor could give birth to a daughter, how could there be eighty-eight princes?" The seventh prince's teacher couldn't help but complain when he heard this.
He simply didn't believe that the Seventh Prince had a younger sister.
emperor:……
What's wrong with me not being able to give birth to a daughter? Does my inability to give birth to a daughter offend you?
"Master, we just had a new sister yesterday, but she is trapped inside now." The Seventh Prince looked anxious.
"Really?" The seventh prince's master was surprised.
"Really, Master, I didn't lie to you. Our sister is a lovely and kind girl. Please save her." The Seventh Prince nodded seriously.
Master of the Seventh Prince: …
A newborn baby is wrinkled, how can you tell that she is cute and kind?
But since this royal family is crazy about having a princess, it's normal that they would think a wrinkled baby is cute and kind.
The seventh prince's master, Lord Weekend, was complaining crazily in his heart.
In fact, he was wrong. The sister that the Seventh Prince mentioned was not a baby.
"Master, please come and take a look. What if my sister gets scared?" The Seventh Prince looked anxious.
"Indeed, let me take a look." Mr. Weekend felt that if a baby was trapped inside, it would not be a question of whether he would be scared or not, but the baby might starve to death.
So he began to observe the formation in front of him.
"This is a multiple trap." Mr. Weekend sighed.
"Mr. Weekend, how long will it take to solve it?" The emperor looked at Mr. Weekend.
"Such a sophisticated formation will take me half a year to decipher even if I want to," replied Lord Weekend.
"Half a year? What about Xier?" the emperor exclaimed upon hearing this.
Squeak!
Just then, the door to the next room opened.
Nangong Xi walked out yawning.
The emperor and others were stunned when they saw this!
"Xier, you are not in that room?" The eldest prince was the first to react.
"I was originally in that room, but then a group of people wearing bloody clothes broke into my room and started banging and banging, which made me unable to sleep, so I had to change rooms." Nangong Xi spread his hands.
"Then this trap..." The emperor turned his neck stiffly and looked at Nangong Xi.
"Oh, I was worried that those people would sneak into this room again, so I set it up." Nangong Xi said.
Everyone:...
Such a wonderful formation was actually set up by Xixi? They were worried for nothing.
"Master, don't worry, my sister is fine." The Seventh Prince excitedly grabbed Lord Weekend and said.
"Your sister? You're not talking about her, are you?" Mr. Weekend asked in disbelief, pointing at Nangong Xi.
"Yes, it's her, Master. She is our sister Nangong Xi." The Seventh Prince nodded.
"It seems that she was snatched back from outside. I thought one of the emperor's concubines finally gave birth to a princess." Lord Weekend muttered.
"Xi'er, this trap..." The emperor looked at Nangong Xi.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xi easily untied the trap.
As soon as the trap was broken, a strong smell of blood hit the face.
The emperor frowned and kicked open Nangong Xi's room.
Everyone looked inside, and the shocking scene inside almost made them vomit.
The whole room was littered with broken limbs and arms, showing how fierce the battle was last night.
"What are they doing?" The emperor endured the discomfort and walked in to take a look, only to find that they were killing each other to create this scene.
In fact, the last thing Nangong Xi sprinkled last night was psychedelic powder.
These men in blood-stained clothes killed each other after having hallucinations.
"Help... Help..." At this moment, a weak cry for help came from the corner of the room.
Nangong Xi and the others looked in the direction of the cry for help.
I saw a woman in white, protected by a transparent protective shield, submerged under the broken limbs.
"Miss Liu Yan, why is she here?" The eldest prince was a little surprised when he saw the woman in white.
"Maybe this assassination was planned by her." The second prince said coldly when he saw this.
"This..." The eldest prince hesitated when he heard this.
"Brother, I told you at the beginning that she had evil intentions and that she could have been sent away with some money. But you insisted on agreeing to her request and bringing her into the palace." The fifth prince looked at Liu Yan with disdain.
"She saved me back then, and I promised her a condition." The eldest prince sighed helplessly.
"These are the blood guards of the palace. How did she mobilize them?" The emperor asked in a cold voice.
"You'll have to ask her about this." The emperor's cold gaze fell on Liu Yan.
"Someone, go and pull her out." The emperor ordered.
The guards at the side received the order and pulled Liu Yan out from the broken limbs and arms and threw him in front of everyone.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, please help me. I was taking a walk last night when I was knocked unconscious and thrown here." Liu Yan said with tears in his eyes.
Hearing this, everyone looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Yan cried even harder.
She thought that since all the blood guards she had bribed were dead and there was no evidence to prove anything, no matter how she was asked, she was always the victim and the most innocent.
"Investigate." the emperor ordered.
"No need, we just need to catch one and ask." After saying that, Nangong Xi casually grabbed a soul and used a talisman to make it appear.
"Miss." The soul knelt down immediately when he saw Nangong Xi.
"Tell me, what's going on with this assassination?" Nangong Xi asked coldly.
"To answer your question, young lady, she bribed our leader to let us assassinate you, and said that you were just a foreign woman and we could just kill you." The Blood Guard Soul said.
"How did she, a woman with not very strong, bribe your leader?" Nangong Xi asked curiously.
"Beauty." The Blood Guard soul replied.
Nangong Xi: ...
It is really hard to understand why this woman betrayed herself just to kill me, a person who had no grudge against her.
"Miss, we are all dead and cannot go to the underworld. Please have mercy and help us." The soul of the Blood Guard suddenly knelt down in front of Nangong Xi.
"You can, but he can't." Nangong Xi said as he grabbed the soul of the sneaky Blood Guard leader nearby.
"Miss, Miss, although I was not a good person when I was alive, I will definitely be a good soul after death. Please let me go." The soul of the Blood Guard leader struggled desperately in Nangong Xi's hands.
"Your soul has turned completely black. We cannot let you go to the underworld to harm other souls." After saying this, Nangong Xi crushed the soul in his hand.
Everyone present, whether they were souls or humans, shuddered at what they saw.
Everyone didn't know why those souls called her Miss Nangong Xi, but they knew that Nangong Xi must be hiding an extraordinary identity.
"What else do you have to say?" The eldest prince looked coldly at Liu Yan beside him.
