The news of Teng Fei's death had already spread through the streets. In the past few years, almost everyone in the capital knew that there was a devil incarnate who ran amok outside. He relied on his uncle's position as the commander of the Hidden Guards to ignore the law. However, the new Emperor had ascended the throne and the officials of the court were all on guard. They thought that Teng Ye was Murong Ke's confidant, so they tolerated the brat from the Teng family. They didn't expect that someone would dare to touch him today.
Perhaps in the entire capital, there was only one person who dared to kill Teng Fei.
So what if Teng Ye was Murong Ke's confidant? Furthermore, Mo Mingxi was the Emperor's nephew, a former Prince.
Almost everyone in the court was ready to watch a good show.
However, the person in question didn't seem to care about this matter.
"Mingxi, that Teng Fei is really dead. What should we do?" Fire Phoenix asked with a smile as she nibbled on a sugar cake.
"Is he dead?" Mingxi asked calmly.
Fire Phoenix said, "Not really."
"I didn't kill him. He scared himself to death. What does that have to do with me?" Mingxi waved his hand. He had beaten Teng Fei twice and he didn't die. Teng Fei was scared to death by his name. How could he blame him?
"Mortals are too fragile." Shang'er sighed, "But the food is delicious. It's better to be a mortal."
Mingxi looked at her with amusement. All she cared about was food.
They hadn't had enough to eat and play on the street when Murong Ke had already sent someone to invite Mingxi to the palace.
"Enter the palace? What happened? "Mingxi frowned as he looked at Xue Lin. Something must have happened to ask him to enter the palace for no reason.
Xue Lin said in a low voice, "The news of you killing Teng Fei has already reached the palace. Young Master Mingxi, don't you know?"
After killing Teng Fei, only their Young Master Ming Xi would be able to stroll around the streets so carefreely! Xue Lin silently praised in his heart. He was still in the Hidden Guards and knew that Teng Fei had been using the Hidden Guards' name to bully people. He had endured it.
"Teng Fei is dead?" Mingxi raised his eyebrows, "Isn't he still alive?"
Xue Lin said, "Just now, the prefectural magistrate entered the palace and reported that you killed Teng Fei."
"If one punch could kill him, he would have died a few times last night," Shang'er said with a frown. "He obviously scared himself to death."
Ming Xi motioned for Ming Yu to remain silent. "Huo 'er, bring Rong' er back to King Qin's Residence first. I'll enter the palace to see what's going on."
"I want to enter the palace with you," Shang'er shouted. She did not want to be separated from Ming Xi.
"Jin 'er, listen to me. You and Huo' er go back first. I'll be fine soon," Ming Xi said in a low voice.
Fire Phoenix pulled Shang'er's hand and whispered in her ear, "The palace is filled with purple energy. If you go there, you won't be able to control yourself and show your true form."
Shang'er's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She finally listened to Ming Xi and no longer said that she wanted to enter the palace with him.
"Xue Lin, let's go." Ming Xi said to Xue Lin, "Did sixth uncle send someone to the Teng family? Are you sure Teng Fei is dead? "
"Young master Ming Xi, Wu Chong has already gone to the Teng family. Teng Ye should have already entered the palace," Xue Lin said in a low voice. "Did you really kill that Teng Fei?"
"What do you think?" Ming Xi asked indifferently.
Xue Lin scratched his head. "What do you mean? Young master Ming Xi, I don't understand. "
… …
… …
At this time, Murong Ke had already understood what happened last night from Ming Yu. At the same time, he had people investigate Teng Fei's daily behavior. Only then did he know that Teng Ye had been allowing his nephew to act tyrannically outside.
It was no wonder that the court officials disliked the Hidden Guards more and more. He received more and more accusations from the Hidden Guards. It seemed like most of them were related to Teng Ye.
"Father, it's impossible for Brother to kill Teng Fei. If he wanted to, he would have killed him yesterday. Teng Fei must have done something bad today." Ming Yu believed in his brother unconditionally.
Murong Ke understood his nephew quite well. Moreover, Ming Xi was taught by Ye Rou. It was impossible for him to be like Teng Fei, who would casually kill someone.
If this matter wasn't related to Ming Xi, he would have directly asked the prefectural magistrate to investigate the truth.
"Your Majesty, Teng Ye is outside asking for an audience." Fu De came in and said in a low voice.
Murong Ke nodded lightly. "When Ming Xi arrives, then let them come in together."
Fu De complied and left with his head lowered.
Just as he walked out of the imperial kitchen, he saw Ming Xi being brought into the palace by Xue Lin.
"Your … Young master Ming Xi." Fu De finally saw Ming Xi. He almost went forward to hug him and burst into tears.
"Eunuch Fu." Ming Xi smiled and pretended not to see Teng Ye beside him.
With Teng Ye here, Fu De couldn't say too much to Ming Xi. He only said in a low voice, "The Emperor is waiting for you inside."
Ming Xi nodded and walked into the imperial study.
Teng Ye looked at Ming Xi's back with a gloomy gaze. Then, he slowly followed.
"Brother." Ming Yu took the initiative to call him brother. This was the first time she called him brother.
Ming Xi nodded and smiled at her. He bowed to Murong Ke. "Ming Xi greets sixth uncle."
"I heard that you beat the young master of the Teng family to death?" Murong Ke raised his eyes to look at Ming Xi and asked.
"I punched him once, but it wasn't enough to kill him. He shouldn't be dead." Ming Xi pretended to be innocent.
Murong Ke looked at Teng Er. "How is your nephew?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, Fei Er is still unconscious. It's obvious that someone heavily injured him." Teng Ye lowered his head and said in a sorrowful voice.
"So, his injuries are very serious? Have you asked the imperial doctors to take a look? "Murong Ke asked.
Teng Ye said, "We've already asked the imperial doctors. After drinking medicine, he still hasn't woken up."
"Ming Xi, how did you severely injure Teng Fei?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice. He didn't show any friendliness just because Ming Xi was his nephew.
"I just punched his shoulder." He also used his spiritual energy to drain his strength so that he and his men didn't have the strength to continue fighting. Therefore, it was impossible to say that Teng Fei Er was seriously injured.
Murong Ke smiled faintly. "Teng Ye said that it was a serious injury, but Ming Xi said that it was only a punch to the shoulder. It seems that we have to get someone to examine his injuries."
"Sixth uncle, Teng Fei is too weak. I wouldn't injure him seriously. It's just that he's too useless. After hearing my name, he fainted and was half dead." Ming Xi said.
"Nonsense!" Teng Ye scolded. "Fei Er has no enmity with you. Why did you hit him?"
Ming Xi chuckled. "I was going to ask you this. He brought people to block my way without any enmity. Don't tell me that the main street belongs to him?"
"That was the main street. There were many witnesses. Who was right and who was wrong? Wouldn't it be easy to ask?" Ming Yu asked in a soft voice.
Murong Ke said with a smile, "Mingyu is right. We should send someone to investigate."
