Seeing that Taishu Shanyue had brought a group of people, Sun Zhanghao, Mei Jiukai, and Wang Tiandi from the Tianxing Faction were all on guard. They all called their people over.
Taishu Shanyue suddenly said that. The three of them looked at each other, confused. They didn't know what Taishu Shanyue meant.
Mei Jiukai from the Spiritual Faction said, "Old Taishu, what are you talking about?"
Taishu Shanyue snorted. "There's no point in playing dumb. We don't mean anything else. We just want to get to the bottom of this."
Wang Tiandi from the Tianxing Faction said, "Explain yourself first."
Taishu Shanyue said, "Aren't those monsters from overseas with you?"
Sun Zhanghao from the Wan Shou Clan said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you looking for trouble? "
"Hey!" Taishu Shanyue stopped him with his palm. "You're exaggerating!" He threw a piece of cloth at them. "Take a look for yourselves."
Sun Zhanghao took the cloth and opened it. He was speechless after reading it, so he passed it to the other two.
The other two frowned. Mei Jiukai picked up the cloth with two fingers and asked, "What does it mean?"
Dao Wufeng, the elder from the Supreme Palace, said in a low voice, "It's written very clearly. Do you really need to ask us what it means?"
Mei Jiukai said, "Even if you want to cause trouble, you don't have to resort to such a cheap trick. Are you trying to accuse us with a piece of cloth with a few words on it?"
The elder from the Bai Chuan Valley waved his hand. "Brother Mei, you misunderstood. Someone secretly delivered this to us from your side not long ago. It's either your people or the Misty Pavilion's people. It can't be the Misty Pavilion's doing, right? We just want to know what's going on! "
Someone from their side? The three people who were questioned were bewildered. After exchanging glances, Mei Jiukai looked around with the cloth in his hand and shouted, "Who did this? Come out now!"
The disciples of the Wan Shou Clan, the Spiritual Faction, and the Tianxing Faction were all silent. No one said a word. No one would admit it.
After asking a few times, no one answered. Mei Jiukai did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he said to the people who came to question him, "Everyone has seen it. This matter has nothing to do with us!"
Taishu Shanyue laughed and said, "I hope it's not true. If someone wants to play tricks on us, then don't blame me for telling you the ugly truth. We also need to give an explanation to our dead disciples. If anyone wants to help our enemy, then he is clearly against us!" Taishu Shanyue didn't say anything more and turned around to leave.
He had no choice. Unless he had no other choice, he didn't dare to provoke them too much. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
The others also turned around and left.
He left just like that? Yan Baoru, who was watching from the side, was stunned. She was greatly disappointed that she didn't see what she had hoped for happen!
What she didn't know was that the way these gangs played with each other was different from how she, a lone rogue cultivator, played with them. She couldn't just directly take action just because she had the strength to kill the other party. The matters and interests involved behind the scenes were very complicated, and she couldn't be as carefree as she was!
She almost jumped out to testify, but she didn't dare to do so. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to secretly leak the information.
If she jumped out directly, she would be openly against the Wan Shou Faction, the Ling Faction, and the Tian Xing Faction. Although a rogue cultivator who was ranked second on the List of Alchemy had some power, he was not qualified to go against the three major factions.
After the troublemaker left, Sun Zhanghao, Mei Jiukai, and Wang Tiandi met and talked for a while.
In front of Taishu Shanyue and the others, the three of them didn't want to get too deep into the matter, which might cause a mess on their side and give others an opportunity to take advantage of them. However, they had to find out the truth after they left.
"Whoever did it the best, please stand out. As long as you admit it honestly, the three of us can guarantee that as long as you tell us the reason, we will pretend that nothing happened, and we will not pursue it! Otherwise, if we wait until we find out the truth, it will be too late to admit it! "Mei Jiukai warned sternly.
However, no one stood out to admit it.
They didn't see the result they wanted to see, so the three major factions started an investigation immediately. It was very difficult to find out anything with just a piece of cloth.
From the beginning to the end, no one admitted it, and no one would admit it. Yan Baoru also didn't dare to admit that she was the one who set them up, because that was obviously asking for death!
The matter could only be left unsettled like this.
Of course, the three major factions also suspected that Jin, Han, and Song people were purposely looking for an excuse to cause trouble, so the disciples of the three factions had to be on guard.
While the people were preparing, Chao Jing's eldest disciple, Xu Huo, walked past Yan Baoru and lit a fire. He said softly, "You did it, didn't you?"
Yan Baoru was shocked, but before she could explain, Xu Huo had already walked past her.
This was also what Niu Youdao wanted. For people who couldn't be controlled, there was no need to control them.
Yan Baoru didn't jump out, but once she did, they would force her to finish what she wanted to do!
…
In the Wei Country's Imperial Palace, at the corner of the pavilion, Xuan Wei had just turned a corner, and coincidentally bumped into a figure who had also turned a corner.
Clatter! The tray was knocked over, the cups shattered, and the soup splashed all over Xuan Wei's body.
"How dare you!" The imperial guard following behind shouted, and almost drew his sword.
When a charming beauty saw that the person she bumped into was Xuan Wei, she panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize.
Seeing that the person she bumped into was Xuan Wei, the two servant girls behind her were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they also knelt down with a thud.
After seeing who the person was, the accompanying imperial guard couldn't even draw his sword. She was the Emperor's woman, and not anyone could punish her.
Xuan Wei shook off the soup on her dress, and glanced at the beauty kneeling on the ground. She had beautiful hair, black eyebrows, and skin that was as tender as snow. She was truly a beauty that could outshine the moon and put flowers to shame. Even women couldn't help but feel pity for her.
The Emperor's new favorite, Imperial Consort Chang!
Xuan Wei frowned and sighed inwardly. If Ximen Qing Kong was here, this kind of misunderstanding wouldn't have happened. Ximen Qing Kong would have been alerted if someone approached from a few meters away. How could she have let someone bump into her?
"Forget it." Xuan Wei waved her hand at the imperial guards surrounding her. The Emperor's woman was also her younger brother's woman. She couldn't go overboard. She personally bent down and reached out to help the terrified Imperial Consort Chang up. She carefully looked at the other's face and sighed in her heart. What a beautiful woman, no wonder the Emperor was infatuated with her!
She asked, "Servants will take care of sending them off properly. Why would Imperial Consort Chang do it personally?"
Imperial Consort Chang seemed to be trembling with fear as she said, "Whatever Your Majesty needs, I will do it myself as much as I can. I don't want others to do it for me."
Xuan Wei made an 'oh' sound, and then pulled at her dirty dress. "It's nothing!" She then walked around her.
After walking far away, Xuan Wei waved her hand, and the leader of Wei Country's largest intelligence organization, Jiang Shiji, quickly walked over and cupped her hands.
"Those two nobles are deeply favored by Your Majesty. Is there really no problem with their origins?" Xuan Wei asked as she walked.
There were two new beauties sent to the Emperor, and they won the Emperor's favor. This attracted her attention from the beginning, and naturally, there would be people who went to check their background. After checking, they said there was nothing wrong, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Today's incident touched her mind, so she couldn't help but ask again.
Jiang Shiji replied, "I've checked repeatedly, and I've checked all three generations of their family clearly. There really is no problem."
Xuan Wei said, "Nothing can go wrong with the people around the Emperor!"
Jiang Shiji said, "Wu Manor has always been paying attention to their family, and they won't let go of any abnormalities."
…
The chubby Wei Jun, Xuan Chengtian, looked cheerful. He personally carried a purple kitten in his arms and personally came to the courtyard of the back palace. Seeing that the door was tightly shut, and the maids were all outside, he couldn't help but ask, "Where's your master?"
The maids greeted him and told him that she was in the house, but they were all chased out for some reason.
"Beloved, open the door, I've brought you a gift …" Xuan Chengtian knocked on the door repeatedly, but there was no response. Suddenly, he heard a bang from inside, and he was stunned for a moment. He felt that something was wrong. It was the first time that someone in the house didn't come out to welcome him after knowing that he had arrived. He then pushed his shoulder against the door and directly knocked it open.
When he entered the house, he was shocked, and the kitten in his arms was also thrown away by him.
There was a person hanging on the white silk under the beam of the house, and it was his Imperial Concubine Chang!
"Someone come, save her!" Xuan Chengtian let out a scream.
Immediately, someone dashed in to save her, and the maids quickly wept together.
Imperial Concubine Chang, who had recovered, refused to say why she wanted to commit suicide, so Xuan Chengtian kept her company.
Until late at night, Imperial Concubine Chang, who was curled up in Xuan Chengtian's arms, finally said, "I'm scared!"
Xuan Chengtian hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here, beloved. You don't have to be afraid of anything."
"I accidentally offended the husband of Tianwei Manor today!" Imperial Concubine Chang sobbed.
"…" Xuan Chengtian was speechless. "I've heard about this, and it's because of this? Beloved, you won't commit suicide because of this, will you? "
Imperial Concubine Chang raised her head with tears, "Your Majesty, that's the husband of Wei State. It's a big thing to offend him. How can I not be scared? Instead of being punished, why not … "
Xuan Chengtian pressed her red lips with one finger, "You are too narrow-minded. That's my imperial sister. What's there to be scared of about a misunderstanding? Don't worry, when my imperial sister comes, I'll help you talk to her personally. Nothing will happen. "
Imperial Concubine Chang instantly looked panicked. She hurriedly climbed up, knelt on the bed, and kowtowed repeatedly. "Your Majesty, if you tell my husband, you might as well just kill me! Once my husband knows that I complained to Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I'll die without a burial place, and even my family and my entire clan will suffer! "
Xuan Chengtian's mouth twitched, and he sat up. "What are you talking about? Is my imperial sister as scary as you say? "
Imperial Concubine Chang shook her head while kneeling there with tears in her eyes. "The military and political power of Wei State are all in my husband's hands. Everyone in the world knows about it, except for Your Majesty!"
Xuan Chengtian said awkwardly, "How can I not know about it? I know a little about it. It's just that the affairs of the state are really tiring, and I'm not willing to take care of it. With my imperial sister doing it for me, it's relaxing … It's not as serious as you said."
Imperial Concubine Chang choked with sobs, "I heard that there's a concubine in the palace who offended my husband and was punished by him. May I ask Your Majesty if there's such a thing? "
Xuan Chengtian was embarrassed again. He touched his nose, "Some things can't be blamed on my imperial sister. Thinking about it, maybe I did it too preposterously, which made my imperial sister unhappy."
Imperial Concubine Chang raised her head, "May I ask Your Majesty again if one day my husband wants to kill me and Sister Sang, can Your Majesty protect me and Sister Sang?"
