Inside the Prince's Mansion!
Yu Haoran had already expected the deaths of Meng Zhengkai and the other Marshals and Prime Ministers.
When Meng Zhengkai had come to him for help, he had not only promised to help Emperor Qin deal with the Martial God expert of the Zhou Clan, but also secretly gave Meng Zhengkai a Jade Communication Talisman that allowed him to contact him alone.
If nothing had happened to Meng Zhengkai, he would have informed him in advance of Emperor Qin's abnormal behavior. Then, he would not have allowed Yu Luoran, the Supreme Inner Demon, to succeed in her plot to possess his body.
If it was said that he felt pity and sorrow for the deaths of Meng Zhengkai and the other old marshals and old prime ministers, then he felt abnormally angry at the betrayal of the princes and nobles.
Back then, he had almost fallen out with his sect and Emperor Qin, and almost separated from Qin Lingfei. Although Qin Baijun of the Court of Imperial Clan was the main culprit, the princes and nobles who supported the Court of Imperial Clan were also accomplices.
If it were not for Emperor Qin and Qin Lingfei, he would have secretly gotten rid of those fellows with ulterior motives.
However, although he did not have the time and mood to deal with those fellows, he had the means to punish them.
"Steward Jiang, collect the evidence of those people's crimes. When I take back Xianyang City and the First Prince succeeds the throne, I will issue an edict to arrest and kill all the traitors."
"Yes, Steward Jiang!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's guarantee that the Qin Clan's bloodline was legitimate, Steward Jiang immediately knelt down and listened to the order excitedly.
"That's right!"
When Yu Haoran was about to enter the mourning hall, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten a very important person. He quickly stopped and asked.
"Steward Jiang, where is the Empress Dowager?"
"This …!"
In the face of Yu Haoran's questioning about the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager Zi Xuan, Director Jiang suddenly did not know how to answer.
Although Empress Dowager Zi Xuan did not collectively betray the Imperial Family like those princes and nobles, her sudden departure to look for someone not only damaged the Imperial Family's reputation, but also provoked Yu Haoran's dissatisfaction.
After all, that person had an irreconcilable relationship with the Prince Consort.
"Forget it. She is also a pitiful person. Let her be!"
Yu Haoran immediately guessed Zixuan's whereabouts when he saw Jiang Zongguan's hesitant look.
Although he was a little unhappy about this, he wasn't too angry or dissatisfied.
What's more, Qin Baijun had been forced to hide in the rainforest of the Southern Border, living every day in fear. It could be considered as the punishment he deserved.
Therefore, he took the initiative to forget about the grievances between Qin Baijun and the Empress Dowager Zi Xuan.
After stepping into the mourning hall, Yu Haoran first kowtowed three times to the body of Emperor Qin. Then, he got up and greeted Qin Lingfei and The Sword Without Trace.
"Ling Fei, Wuhen, come out for a while."
After leaving the mourning hall, Yu Haoran explained in detail the wedding of Wu Zhengjun and Zhongli Shuiqin two days later.
Although Qin Lingfei was a little uncomfortable, she didn't show it and nodded.
Because Wu Zhengjun was Yu Haoran's most valued and trusted brother. Their relationship was not inferior to that of her, the person who slept next to him. She didn't want to provoke her man's dissatisfaction because of her selfish thoughts.
"Ling Fei, I will have Thaling set up a formation that completely isolates the mourning hall. I won't let Zhengjun and Shuiqin's wedding disturb Imperial Father's peace."
Although Qin Lingfei didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, Yu Haoran could feel that she was in low spirits. Feeling guilty, he hugged her in his arms and thought of a way to dispel her dissatisfaction.
"At the same time, before we start the war against the Zhou Clan, I will do everything I can to subdue Xianyang City and move Imperial Father's body and mourning hall to the Hall of Taiyi. Then, we will hold a national ceremony that suits Imperial Father's status."
"Prince Consort, don't worry! Little Sister Wuhen and I will properly arrange Xiaojun and Sister Suijin's wedding. We won't let the outside world pick on us. At the same time, we will make Sister Suijin very satisfied. "
Yu Haoran's wholehearted consideration for her completely dispelled Qin Lingfei's dissatisfaction. As she forcefully responded to Yu Haoran's hug, she also gave her own assurance.
After instructing Thaling and his clone to set up a formation that isolated the mourning hall, Yu Haoran turned around and returned to his courtyard. He then took out a box from his storage ring.
He slowly opened the box and looked at the green leaf in it. A trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
Of the four protector clans and the five hidden clans, the only one that he truly couldn't fathom and feared was the Zhongli clan, which seemed to have existed in the Middle Ages but had actually existed since the Primordial Era.
To be more precise, he feared the ancestor of the Zhongli clan, the mysterious Sovereign Evergreen.
This was because through the inherited memories of the ancient Twelve Ancestral Sorcerers, as well as Thaling's narration of the great war of ritual implements at the beginning of the world, he suspected that Sovereign Evergreen was very likely to be the same as Hsu Han-wen. He was also a connate lifeform born from the chaos.
At the same time, according to the rankings of countless lifeforms on the Destiny Stone Tablet, he had a feeling that Sovereign Evergreen was very likely to be a Saint expert at the peak of the Immortal level.
Therefore, before he forced the Zhongli clan to agree to the marriage between Wu Zhengjun and Zhongli Shuiqin, he needed to ascertain Sovereign Evergreen's attitude.
To be more precise, he needed to know Sovereign Evergreen's exact whereabouts.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Haoran activated the mysteries of the law of karma while his ten fingers began to form Fuxi's Eight Trigrams Innate Divination Technique. He planned to use the combination of his technique and the mysteries of the law to predict the most powerful lifeform in the world.
As the seals formed by his ten fingers and the comprehension of the law of karma fused into the green leaf, the leaf that slowly floated up gradually became transparent.
The transparent leaf was like a mirror. Gradually, an ancient tomb appeared on the surface of the mirror, and an old man in a green Daoist robe sat cross-legged in front of the tomb with a kind expression. His appearance was sixty to seventy percent similar to Zhongli Shuiqin's.
The moment he saw the ancient tomb and the green-robed old man, Yu Haoran immediately retracted his comprehension of the profound mysteries of the law of karma. He also immediately dispersed the condensed magical energy and quickly put the leaf back into the box.
Only now did he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
As someone who had been reborn a hundred years ago, Yu Haoran was all too familiar with the ancient tomb.
This was because the ancient tomb was said to be able to bury countless gods and demons. In his previous life, it was known as the number one forbidden land in the Tianxuan Continent, the Demonic God Ancient Tomb.
