Prince Fu said, "We can't bury these corpses right now, nor can we send them away. Such a big matter has happened, it's impossible for the Palace to not know about it. If I don't report it to His Majesty, won't it arouse suspicion and cause people to talk? But if we send them away untouched like this, I am afraid people will suspect that I deliberately sewed the dragon robe and used the corpses as a pretext to curse His Majesty. My position in the Imperial Court is high and powerful, there are not many people who are jealous of me. With great difficulty I have this opportunity, won't I seize this opportunity to gossip? But if we bury them like this, we will be regarded as not reporting the truth. If people find out, the Imperial Court will send people to dig this place up and see the corpses wrapped in the dragon robe, it will be even more like a secret curse! The Seven Demons clearly want to force us into a desperate situation. Tell me, what should we do? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "The people he hates the most are Li Yijie and Noble Consort Yun. Our Prince Fu's mansion has no enmity with him in the past, no enmity in the past, why would he want to target us? In Child's opinion, we will not hesitate to spend a bit more capital to remove the dragon robes and bury them. Then we will ask a tailor to make a set of shrouds for them to change into, and send them to the Imperial Palace. "
"Humph," Prince Fu snorted, "Yao Hua, previously I thought your brain was very bright, what kind of rotten idea is this? If we send them to the Palace, we will ask a coroner to examine the corpses. They will definitely be able to see that the clothes have been tampered with. For no reason at all, why would they tamper with their clothes? There must be something fishy going on. When the time comes, they will follow the vine to the melon and find the clothes we buried with blood … privately sewing the dragon robes is a serious crime with the intention of treason, much less the blood on the robes is a great omen of misfortune. His Majesty values these things the most; when the time comes, he won't say anything more to you, he will just drag you out and behead you. "
Shangguan Yaohua thought that this was a good opportunity. Following Xuan Shu's advice, he might as well probe Prince Fu a bit. In a low voice he said, "Child is thinking, if we really have no other way out, then we might as well … really rebel." Prince Fu was startled; he frowned and said, "What did you say? Say it again? "
The Shangguan Yaohua continued, "Adoptive Father has many soldiers and generals under his command. Aside from the Regent, the Esteemed Prince, and the others, you can be considered to have half of the Qing Dynasty under your command. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative to attack. His Majesty is still young, he's definitely not your opponent … "
Prince Fu was furious and shouted, "How dare you! You've only been in the palace for a few days, and you've already learned bad things from others? Or did this prince spoil you too much? How could he say something like that? Was it that brat Lord Baylor Ling who instigated you? " Seeing that he didn't answer, he snorted and said, "This Prince has long seen through it. That brat isn't anything good! The same goes for you. Immediately go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to eat tonight. Copy the Tao Te Ching two or three times. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take a single step out of the room! Go! " As he said that, he was so angry that he was panting. He said fiercely, "What sin has this prince committed that I raised an unfilial son like you?"
The Shangguan Yaohua turned around and returned to his room. "Humph," he mused, "Your acting is really good." He glanced at the Prince Fu, who was still so angry that his beard was sticking out, and felt even more disdain.

The Xuan Shuang did not stop. In one breath he ran straight into the forest next to the palace. The men of sacrifice that the Prince Fu had planted were watching the Shangguan Yaohua. Seeing that he was coming alone, they only said a few words of advice and did not interfere too much.
But how could the Xuan Shuang take these words to heart? He ran straight into the forest. Following the directions on the wooden piece, he found the seventh tree and started digging under the roots with all his might. In his heart he cursed, "What's so great about the 'Seven Demons'? Even if you're extremely fierce, your martial art is still of the lower nine grades. Who cares? Wait until I find the sword manual, I'm going to beat you until you're completely defeated. "
He had long heard that Li Yijie had relied on that secret manual and had only learned a little bit of it before he became the Wulin Alliance Leader. If he could learn the entire manual, he would be even more formidable. But he did not dig for too long. He only managed to dig a shallow layer of the soil, but his fingernails were bleeding.
For a moment he felt pain and hatred, anger intertwined in his heart. Finally he could bear it no longer. He stood up and ran to the middle of the forest. He looked up to the sky and shouted, "Jiang Liechen! Seven Demons! Come out! I … I'm not afraid of you! What kind of skill is it to play tricks behind my back? Don't be a coward, quickly come out! "
He paused, but the anger in his heart did not diminish. Instead, because of this pause, his anger accumulated even more. Pulling out a short sword, he hacked the trunk of a tree. He took a deep breath and continued to shout, "Seven Demons, what do you mean by 'the most powerful person in the world'? Talking big, your face is not red, your skin is thicker than the city wall! Hey, other than harming people and making people suffer, what else can you do? Come out, I want to see you! You don't dare to face me? Useless coward, a good-for-nothing who can't see the light of day for the rest of your life, you can't even compare to an ant! Get the hell out here! "
A string of curses came to his mind, and he immediately blurted them out. In the end, he did not know what he had cursed. Then he realized that he was being too childish. Venting randomly would not cause any harm to him. He suddenly threw the sword into the air.
But before the sword could land, the wind suddenly blew, and sand and pebbles flew. An extremely strong gust of wind swept over. Xuan Shuang was unable to stand steadily and was blown away. He somersaulted a few times in the air before he grabbed onto a tree trunk and stabilized himself.
The leaves on top of his head were also blown to the ground. He raised an arm with difficulty to protect his eyes from the flying sand and pebbles. He did not expect that the leaves would be covered with a lot of dust. He was careless and felt his eyes go numb. There was something constantly rubbing against his eyelids. It was so uncomfortable that he could not open his eyes. He blinked a few times, but it was still useless. He had no choice but to rub his eyes.
He vaguely saw a person wearing a black robe, who seemed to have "fallen from the sky" and landed beside a tree opposite him. The sleeves of his robe fluttered, hiding his figure. But there was a kind of noble aura that came from the inside out, almost like an emperor. He stood there coldly, and the gloomy aura was about to freeze everything around him.
Xuan Shuang rubbed his eyes until they were red. On the other hand, he desperately held onto the tree and resisted the gust of wind. He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "It really is you … Hmph, you only know how to … do this … What … What's the use?"
The black-robed man was one of the Seven Evil Spirits, Jiang Liechen. His eyes were full of disdain. He walked out from behind the tree and said coldly, "What's wrong? Didn't you want to see me? I thought you were born in the imperial family, so you should have some backbone. I didn't expect you to be a cowardly little brat who only knows how to cry after being wronged. "
Xuan Shuang rubbed his eyes for a long time, but it still didn't work. The itchiness was getting worse. He tried to defend himself, "Nonsense! I … I'm not crying. It's just sand that got into my eyes … "Jiang Liechen sneered, and his disdain grew stronger. Xuan Shuang was also embarrassed. He wished he hadn't said that. Girls had always tried to cover up their tears in front of others by saying that "sand got into their eyes". It had almost become a habit. But he didn't know that sand had really gotten into his eyes. It seemed like he was trying to cover it up.
At this time, the wind gradually died down. Xuan Shuang rubbed his eyes a few more times, and a few drops of tears fell. He finally felt a clear and bright light under his eyes. He still couldn't believe it. He blinked his eyes a few times, and when he was sure that the feeling of being caressed was gone, he let out a sigh of relief. His whole body was refreshed. He still wanted to save face, so he shouted, "Don't laugh!" He carefully wiped his tears before limping out.
His leg injury had already healed, but when he saw Jiang Liechen, he immediately recalled the humiliation he suffered at the Snow Song Palace. His ankle naturally began to hurt. He didn't want to make a fool of himself again, so he diverted Jiang Liechen's attention with words. He snorted, "Do you still remember me? I … always mention your name, no less than twenty times a day, cursing you to die quickly. "
Jiang Liechen said indifferently, "I'll never die. I've disappointed you." Xuan Shuang sneered, "Never die? Does that mean you'll live for eternity? Who do you think you are? I don't believe you! You've brought disaster to the world. I don't want to be a hero, so I don't care! But there are some people you shouldn't provoke. Since you injured me, I'll have to lie in bed for several months, unable to move. I've never been humiliated like this in my life. Just because of this, I want you dead! "
Jiang Liechen didn't even lift his eyelids, as if nothing had happened. He said coldly, "What kind of injury did you suffer?"
Xuan Shuang was so angry that he wanted to spit fire on the spot. He didn't know if Jiang Liechen had really forgotten or if he was just toying with him. "Your memory is really bad," Jiang Jianchen said, "You don't care even though you've injured someone. How can you forget everything in the blink of an eye?" "I've killed countless people in my life," Jiang Jianchen said, "How can I possibly injure someone? I really don't remember. Besides, there's a saying, 'Eminent people tend to forget things'. Haven't you heard of it? "
Xuan Shuang sneered, "That's a polite compliment from a smart person to a fool." He dragged his injured leg in front of him, saying, "You broke into the palace and caused chaos. You were the one who broke my leg. Do you dare say you don't remember? "
Jiang Liechen paused for a long time, recalling the scene at the Snow Song Palace. There was indeed such a thing. But he didn't take it to heart, saying, "Oh. So what? "
Xuan Shuang clenched his fists, saying, "Therefore, I want you to pay the price for this! Your life is mine, and only I can take it. You must be careful before you die, don't die in the hands of someone you don't know. "Jiang Liechen said," This sentence sounds very familiar. Where have I heard it before? "
Xuan Shuang's fingernails dug deep into his flesh, leaving a red mark, saying, "Because you're a devil who brings calamity to the world. Everyone wants to kill you! But since I'm the one who gave the order, our previous agreement is completely null and void. "
Jiang Liechen said, "Enough nonsense! You want to kill me, don't you? Then come, let me see what kind of ability you have that you dare to speak such arrogant words. "
Xuan Shuang didn't say anything. He drew a short sword from his waist and slowly approached. Jiang Liechen wasn't afraid at all. Even the expression in his eyes didn't change in the slightest as he glanced at Xuan Shuang arrogantly.
Xuan Shuang walked directly in front of him, raised his arm high, and suddenly turned around, making a deep cut on his left forearm. Blood splattered everywhere. At the same time, he knelt down with a thump, clasped his fists together, and raised them above his head. He said seriously, word by word, "Please accept me as your disciple."
Jiang Liechen was startled. Even if Xuan Shuang did something shocking, he would still be able to deal with it. But this sentence was so unexpected that he was caught off guard. He paused for a long time before asking, "What … does this mean?"
Xuan Shuang explained patiently, "It means that I want to take you as my master. I swear on this blood that every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. "
Jiang Liechen finally came back to his senses, but he was still puzzled. He said coldly, "Reason?"
