The eunuch quickly conveyed the emperor's order to Prime Minister He.
Why is this old man calling me over now? Hearing this order, Prime Minister He frowned as such a thought flashed through his mind.
He was somewhat confused. After all, he had just seen the emperor.
Although he was confused, he did not think of anything else. Thus, he followed the eunuch to see the emperor.
Not long after, he saw the emperor. At the same time, the sixth prince and some other important figures in the palace were also standing beside the emperor.
Seeing so many people, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
However, being a wily old fox, he would not reveal his uneasiness.
Didn't the sixth prince go out to hunt for the Burning Wing Bird? He should have come to see me first. Why did he come directly to this old man's place? Looking at the sixth prince, such a thought flashed through his mind.
He felt that the emperor suddenly calling him over had something to do with the sixth prince.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," he said respectfully to the emperor.
The emperor went straight to the point. "Prime Minister He, do you know why you and the others were suddenly called over?"
"I do not know," Prime Minister He said with a puzzled expression.
The others naturally had puzzled expressions as well. They also did not know why the emperor suddenly called them over.
"It's like this. Someone said that you are related to a force called the Burning Wing Sect," the emperor said while staring at Prime Minister He.
He wanted to see something from Prime Minister He's eyes. Although he felt that Prime Minister He was not related to the Burning Wing Bird, he still wanted to intimidate Prime Minister He.
Prime Minister He naturally pretended to be confused. "Your Majesty, this is the first time I've heard of this Burning Wing Sect."
Although he said this, he was even more certain that the sixth prince had betrayed him.
Sixth prince, you actually betrayed me. Are you not afraid of being poisoned to death by the flame poison pill? He sneered in his mind.
"Your Majesty, this is the first time I've heard of this Burning Wing Sect," someone said at this moment.
"Is this Burning Wing Sect a new force?" someone else asked.
Someone even said, "The Burning Wing Sect has the two words' Burning Wing 'in it. Could it be that the Burning Wing Bird that appeared in our Icy Peak Country is related to them?"
"If so, explain it to everyone," the emperor said while looking at the sixth prince.
It was indeed the sixth prince! A cold and stern expression flashed across Prime Minister He's eyes when he heard the emperor's words. However, this expression disappeared in an instant and no one noticed it.
"The Burning Wing Sect is the force that released the Burning Wing Birds. I've received some information that indicates that the Prime Minister of the Ice Peak Nation, He Ying, is an elder of the Burning Wing Sect!" At this point, the Sixth Prince looked at Prime Minister He with an extremely sharp gaze.
The Burning Wing Sect was the force that released the Burning Wing Birds? Prime Minister He is an elder of this force?
Hearing the Sixth Prince's words, this question appeared in the minds of the surrounding people.
At the same time, they turned to look at Prime Minister He.
Although they felt that Prime Minister He had nothing to do with the Flaming Winged Bird, the 6th Prince's identity was different. Therefore, they were more or less suspicious of Prime Minister He.
"Sixth Prince, this is the first time I've heard of the Burning Wing Sect. May I know where you got this information from?" Prime Minister He asked coldly as he looked at the Sixth Prince.
He knew that he did not have any evidence in the Sixth Prince's hands, so he was not worried about the Sixth Prince's accusations.
"It's very simple. The evidence is on you. You have the Flaming Winged Bird!" The Sixth Prince said.
"Is this true?" The emperor could not help but ask when he saw the Sixth Prince's irrefutable expression.
Previously, he did not think that Prime Minister He had anything to do with the Flaming Winged Bird. However, after seeing the Sixth Prince's reaction, he could not help but suspect Prime Minister He.
"Sixth Prince, you are framing me. I don't have the Flaming Winged Bird. If I did, it would have already burned me to ashes. Even if I didn't do that, I wouldn't have been able to hide it from so many experts," Prime Minister He said.
Although the Blazing Winged Bird was in the ring on his finger, the Sixth Prince was unable to summon the Blazing Winged Bird with the rune terminology that he knew. He also could not use his spiritual force to enter the ring, so he was not worried.
"That's right. If Prime Minister He had the Flaming Winged Bird, the flames of the Flaming Winged Bird would have already burned him to ashes."
"Even if he was not burned to ashes, the rest of us would still be able to sense the Flaming Winged Bird. After all, the Flaming Winged Bird does not know how to conceal itself."
Someone immediately said after hearing Prime Minister He's words.
"You don't know that the Flaming Winged Bird can be hidden in the ring on Prime Minister He's finger," the Sixth Prince said as he pointed at the ring on Prime Minister He's finger.
Everyone immediately followed his finger and looked at the ring on Prime Minister He's finger.
"This ring seems to be a little different from ordinary spatial rings," someone couldn't help but say as they looked at the ring.
"Could this ring really contain the Flaming Winged Bird?" someone asked.
"You are all wrong. This is just an ordinary ring. There is no way to hide anything inside it, so there is no Flaming Winged Bird inside." Prime Minister He shook his head.
He was a little worried now. Of course, he wasn't afraid that the Sixth Prince would release the Flaming Winged Bird. He was afraid that the emperor would listen to the Sixth Prince and forcefully take the ring. If that happened, it would be a little troublesome.
"Prime Minister He, since you said that it is an ordinary ring, can you take it off for us to see?" the Sixth Prince asked.
As expected, this brat had such an idea! Prime Minister He sneered inwardly.
He hesitated for a moment because if he handed it over to the emperor, it would be troublesome.
"What's wrong, Prime Minister He? Are you afraid?" The Sixth Prince struck while the iron was hot.
Right at this moment, a light bulb went off in Prime Minister He's head and he immediately said, "There is nothing wrong with showing this ring to Your Majesty. It is just that it is a relic left behind by my father, so this old subject is a little hesitant."
"Is it a relic left behind by your father?" the emperor asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Prime Minister He nodded.
"Then bring it over for us to see. We will return it to you after we have a look at it," the emperor said immediately.
"Many thanks, Your Majesty," Prime Minister He hurriedly said.
After saying that, he took the ring off his finger and walked to the emperor, respectfully handing it over.
The emperor casually took it and looked at it carefully. He felt that this ring was really ordinary.
After that, he used his Divine Sense to check the ring. His Divine Sense wasn't able to penetrate it and he didn't feel anything amiss. Hence, the emperor felt that this was just an ordinary ring.
However, he didn't immediately come to a conclusion. After all, this was suggested by the Sixth Prince. No matter what, he had to let the Sixth Prince take a look.
Hence, he looked at the Sixth Prince and handed him the ring. "If father can't see anything, you can take a look."
"Yes." The Sixth Prince nodded respectfully and took the ring to look at it.
In an instant, everyone's gazes were focused on him.
