Imperial Palace, Luanyun Pavilion.
After a night of patrolling, Xiao Yunyi took off his scarlet cloak and asked, "How's the situation?"
Fei Luan, who was wearing a mask, bent her knees and took the cloak with both hands. She reported in a low voice, "As you expected, the Fourth Prince did take action. Just two hours ago, his second butler led a group of men of sacrifice to attack the Duke of Nanping's estate. The butler shot Xiahou Qing with an arrow, but it was not serious and only a flesh wound. The men of sacrifice were all killed. The Duke of Nanping recognized Qi Rui and should be targeting the Fourth Prince's estate now. "
Xiao Yunyi was dressed in silver armor that was spotless. His chiseled face was like the armor on his body. In the capital, which was like a steamer, he was cold-blooded and heartless, without a trace of warmth. Since he killed the deposed concubine Jiang without blinking and cut off her head and hung it at the Meridian Gate as a warning, the Sixth Prince, Xiao Yunyi, became a demon-like existence in the eyes of all the palace servants. They could not help trembling when they saw him.
He laughed coldly and walked to the window. This was one of the highest pavilions in the Imperial Palace. Since the Emperor was "seriously ill" and he took over the power of Cao Hou to guard the Imperial Palace, he chose this place as his bedroom. As long as he stood in front of this window and looked down, the entire Imperial Palace seemed to be under his feet and he did not need to bend his knees to anyone.
He curled his lips and looked around coldly. "I did not expect Xiao Yunsu and Xiahou Qing to be able to injure each other, but I did not expect them to be defeated so easily. He is indeed a complete idiot."
"The Fourth Prince is indeed extremely stupid. He sent assassins but they did not kill anyone. Instead, they were caught. Such a mediocre person actually wants to fight for the throne with you. It's ridiculous." Fei Luan obediently poured hot water and took a hot towel to Xiao Yunyi's hand. She said according to his wishes, "But no matter what, he at least brought some trouble to the Duke of Nanping's estate. When the snipe and the clam fight, one must die. For Your Highness, it saves you the trouble of taking action. Let's just watch from the sidelines. "
"But I'm very curious. The Fourth Prince and Xiahou Qing did not have any deep hatred before. The biggest conflict was when they sent off the Southern Yan envoy and argued at the state banquet. Why would he take such a risk? "
Xiao Yunyi glanced at her and said calmly, "It's nothing. I just told him a secret through some method, a secret that made him desperate and kill me. Do you want to know what the secret is? "
Fei Luan looked up curiously.
But suddenly, she met with Xiao Yunyi's dark brown eyes. Those eyes were locked on her like a sword, as if he was going to stab her into the wall behind her anytime.
He bowed slightly and looked down. "You want to steal this secret from my mouth and then tell it to Yin Zhaoyi, who I should call Mother, right?"
Fei Luan's face turned pale as if she had been dismembered by a thousand cuts. She subconsciously wanted to deny it and explain that she had only asked out of curiosity. It had nothing to do with anyone else and that she would only ever be loyal to him. But under his frightening gaze, any explanation she had would be useless at this moment.
The flood dragon raised his claws, ready to crush the trembling Little Beast under his claws.
He grabbed her chin and took off the mask on her face. Looking at her familiar face, there was admiration, disdain, infatuation and disdain in his eyes. "Do you think your clumsy cover can really hide it from me? With such a similar face and a carefully arranged encounter, do you think you can make me completely let down my guard against you? Before you swore to be loyal to me with your life, I had already investigated your background! "
