"Ignorance is terrible."
Qin Feiyang shook his head and sighed. He looked at the State Preceptor and said, "I have a motive to kill, and so do you. I have the ability, and so do you. Since you suspect me, I have a reason to suspect you."
"You are a thief pretending to be a thief."
The State Preceptor said angrily.
Qin Feiyang said, "Can I say that you are also a thief pretending to be a thief?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The State Preceptor shouted. His eyes were full of killing intent.
Qin Feiyang's gaze turned cold as he shouted, "You better put away your killing intent right now!"
The State Preceptor said, "I advise you not to challenge my patience!"
"That's what I should say."
"If you don't want those shameful things to be exposed, you better behave yourself. Don't bite people like a mad dog."
Qin Feiyang said.
"You …"
The State Preceptor was furious.
"What about me?"
Qin Feiyang looked at him provocatively.
"You win!"
The State Preceptor said coldly. He turned to the Chief Eunuch and asked, "Where is the Imperial Seal?"
"The Imperial Seal?"
The Chief Eunuch was stunned. He looked at the desk next to him.
On the desk, there were pens, ink, paper, and a stack of memorials. On one side, there was a square jade box. It was the size of two adult's palms. It was carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was very delicate.
This was the desk where the emperor usually read memorials.
The head eunuch quickly walked to the desk and reached out to grab the jade box.
At this moment.
The State Preceptor and Qin Feiyang rushed to the jade box at the same time.
However, the Imperial Preceptor's speed was still faster than the Imperial Preceptor and he managed to grab the jade box first.
The sudden change of events caused the chief eunuch and the commander of the Qilin army to be at a loss for a moment.
At the same time.
Seeing the jade box in the State Preceptor's hand, Qin Feiyang's face darkened. He said, "We don't know whether the emperor is dead or not. Are you so eager to get the Imperial Seal?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"This Imperial Preceptor is protecting the Imperial Jade Seal to prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ill intentions."
The Imperial Tutor sneered.
"Are you talking about yourself?"
Qin Feiyang took the opportunity to step forward and grab the jade box.
"What are you doing?"
The Imperial Advisor said angrily.
The two of them each grabbed onto one side and refused to let go.
Qin Feiyang said, "Other than my Chin clan, I will not allow the Imperial Jade Seal to fall into the hands of anyone else, especially you!"
"Then we'll have to rely on our own abilities!"
The Imperial Preceptor's eyes flashed with murderous intent. A surge of divine might suddenly emerged and pounced on Qin Feiyang.
Puff!
Qin Feiyang spat out a mouthful of blood and was forced to retreat.
The Imperial Preceptor took the jade box as though it was a treasure. He took a few steps back and opened the jade box impatiently.
"Damn it!"
Qin Feiyang was furious. He was burning with anxiety.
But!
The moment the Imperial Tutor opened the jade box, his entire body froze.
"What's the situation?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
Shouldn't this old man be happy to have obtained the Imperial Jade Seal?
He walked up suspiciously and looked at the jade box. His expression froze.
"Haha …"
Immediately after.
He raised his head and laughed. His laughter was filled with sarcasm.
The jade box was actually empty.
The Imperial Jade Seal was not in it at all.
"How could this be?"
"His Majesty has always placed the Imperial Jade Seal in here. How could it not be here?"
The head eunuch stepped forward to take a look. His expression changed.
"Could it have been taken away by the culprit?"
The commander of the Kirin Army was shocked.
Hearing this, Qin Feiyang and the Imperial Preceptor raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
The Imperial Preceptor roared, "Hand over the Imperial Jade Seal immediately!"
Qin Feiyang said to himself, "You're the one who should hand over the Imperial Jade Seal!"
The Imperial Preceptor raised his eyebrows and stared at Qin Feiyang. He said to himself, "You really didn't kill His Majesty?"
"Nonsense, if I killed him, would I fight with you for the Imperial Jade Seal?"
Qin Feiyang snorted coldly.
The Imperial Preceptor's heart sank. He said, "If it's not you, and it's not me, then who could it be?"
Qin Feiyang also fell silent.
All along, the Imperial Preceptor had been suspecting him, and he had also been suspecting the Imperial Preceptor.
But from the Imperial Preceptor's current behavior, it seemed that it really had nothing to do with him.
However, as the Imperial Preceptor said, besides the two of them, who else had this ability?
Wait!
He seemed to have overlooked someone!
This person was Lu Xingchen!
Lu Xingchen had this ability and the motive to kill. He was undoubtedly the most suspicious!
Thinking of this.
Qin Feiyang immediately opened a portal and walked in without looking back.
"Where are you going?"
The commander of the Kirin Army quickly asked.
"To find the real culprit."
Qin Feiyang said.
Before his voice died away, Qin Feiyang disappeared into the portal.
The commander of the Kirin Army looked at the Imperial Preceptor again. He was at a loss and asked, "Imperial Preceptor, what should we do now?"
"Don't panic!"
"I'll return to the Temple immediately and send people from the Law Enforcement Hall to search. Even if His Majesty is really killed, we must find his body!"
"And you two are in charge of this. Remember, don't leak any information."
The Imperial Preceptor said.
"But how long can we hide such a big thing?"
The chief eunuch said anxiously.
"Hide it as long as we can."
"If anyone comes to ask, just say that His Majesty is ill and will not see anyone for the time being."
After the Imperial Preceptor finished speaking, he opened a portal and left.
"How could this happen?"
"Your Majesty, nothing must happen to you!"
The chief eunuch exclaimed.
The commander of the Kirin Army also looked worried.
…
Bright Heaven Palace!
Qin Feiyang sat on the throne above, holding an image crystal in his hand, his face gloomy.
He never expected that such a thing would happen suddenly.
Buzz!
After a while.
Lu Xingchen's shadow appeared.
Qin Feiyang said, "Tell me, do you have anything to do with the emperor's death?"
"What?"
"The emperor was killed?"
Lu Xingchen was stunned and said in surprise.
"Yes."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Lu Xingchen looked at Qin Feiyang and saw that Qin Feiyang's face was gloomy. He didn't seem to be joking.
"Wait, I'll come to you."
After saying that.
He turned off the image crystal.
In less than three breaths, Lu Xingchen appeared in the hall. He looked at Qin Feiyang and said in a deep voice, "When did this happen? Why didn't I receive any news? "
"Not long ago."
Qin Feiyang responded and said, "Do you really not know, or are you playing dumb?"
"If I did it, do you think I would deny it?"
Lu Xingchen said.
Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows. It seemed to make sense.
With Lu Xingchen's character, if he dared to do it, he would definitely dare to admit it.
"Could it be the State Preceptor?"
Lu Xingchen asked.
"Judging from his previous performance, it shouldn't be him, but we can't rule out the possibility that he is acting."
"And the imperial jade seal is also missing."
Qin Feiyang said.
Lu Xingchen said in astonishment, "If it's not the State Preceptor, it's not me, and it's not you, could it be a ghost?"
"I'm not in the mood to joke now."
"Call Mu Qing out immediately and let him see with his All-Seeing Eyes."
Qin Feiyang said.
Lu Xingchen was puzzled and said, "The emperor's death should be a good thing for you, why are you so anxious?"
"I'm anxious about the imperial jade seal. Now that the emperor is dead, if the State Preceptor gets the imperial jade seal, then he can rightfully inherit the throne."
Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice.
The reason why the State Preceptor didn't make a move was that the emperor was still alive, and the imperial jade seal.
Because without the imperial jade seal, he couldn't be recognized by the world.
Of course.
The recognition of the world wasn't that important.
Because with the State Preceptor's means, he had ten thousand ways to deceive the world.
What really scared the State Preceptor was actually the old monsters hidden in the mountain behind the imperial palace.
Those old monsters, including the fake gods who sealed themselves, and Elder Qin, were the guardians of the Great Qin Empire.
And since ancient times, the succession of the throne was personally drawn up by the previous emperor, announced to the world, and then held a succession ceremony. At the ceremony, the imperial jade seal was personally handed to the successor.
But now.
The emperor was dead, and no one could draw up this edict.
In this way, the old monsters behind the imperial palace only recognized the imperial jade seal.
So.
Now it was urgent to find the imperial jade seal.
Lu Xingchen was silent for a while and asked, "Who knows about this matter at present?"
Qin Feiyang said, "Me, you, the State Preceptor, the commander of the Kirin Army, the head of the eunuchs."
"Actually, I think you're a little worried."
"The State Preceptor doesn't have the blood of the Chin clan in his body. Even if he finds the imperial jade seal, the monsters behind the imperial palace won't agree to let him inherit the throne."
Lu Xingchen said with a faint smile.
"Who is the State Preceptor? As long as he gets the imperial jade seal, he has many ways to persuade those old monsters. "
"Moreover, don't forget that there's a little prince now."
"The emperor only has one heir. If the State Preceptor can't persuade those old monsters, then the little prince will definitely be promoted to the throne."
"At that time, the State Preceptor and the current empress will join forces, and the empire of the Great Qin will belong to the Zhuge family sooner or later."
Qin Feiyang said.
"That makes sense."
"The little prince is young and ignorant now, and they can do whatever they want behind the scenes."
"But there's still you, isn't there?"
"You, the descendant of the Qin Emperor, have the best chance to inherit the throne, don't you think?"
Lu Xingchen said with a smile.
"When the emperor expelled me from the imperial palace, he announced it to the world. Do you think those old monsters will agree to let me inherit the throne?"
"Moreover, the State Preceptor will definitely make things difficult."
Qin Feiyang said.
"That's true."
"However, the emperor was killed and the imperial jade seal is missing. This is a great thing for me. Why should I help you?"
Lu Xingchen joked.
"I didn't ask you to help me. I just want Mu Qing to see if the emperor is still alive."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Let me think about it."
Lu Xingchen walked to a chair on the side, sat down, and lowered his head to think.
After a while.
He looked up at Qin Feiyang and said with a smile, "If you just want to see if the emperor is still alive, I can help you."
After that.
Mu Qing appeared beside him out of thin air.
Lu Xingchen said, "Use your Heavenly Eye to check the whereabouts of the emperor."
"Yes."
Mu Qing responded respectfully, and then coldly glanced at Qin Feiyang, and opened his Heavenly Eye. His eyes were immediately suffused with wisps of obscure light.
Gradually.
Within his pupils, a mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see could be vaguely seen.
