The guards simply searched Tang San's body, and only glanced at the medicinal herbs in the medicine box.

"Let go."

Tang San picked up the medicine box, but after taking only a few steps, he stopped and turned back to ask, "Isn't anyone going to show me the way?"

Behind him, the guards who had escorted him had already led the carriage away, while the gatekeepers showed no intention of moving.

When Tang San pressed for answers, the guard simply replied, "The palace is under martial law, and we cannot leave our posts."

"Once inside, keep walking straight ahead. When you see the guards, ask them for directions. Remember to keep your token safe. It's your only legitimate proof of entry into the palace. If you lose it, you're an assassin who has broken into the palace."

Tang San was not an ignorant fool after all, and he was not intimidated by the other party's words.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and walked forward with the token in his hand.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the palace, a richly dressed young man puts on a human skin mask.

At a corner, he deliberately bumped into Tang San, made a shushing gesture, and quickly pulled him away.

Tang San was familiar with the appearance of the person in front of him; it was none other than Prince Xuexing, an enemy of Shrek Academy.

However, since he was currently entering the palace as Tang Yin, revealing his true identity would likely cause him serious trouble. Therefore, he didn't show any hostility, but instead feigned ignorance and asked:
"Who are you, and why are you pulling me?"

Tang San was not familiar with Prince Xue Xing, so he did not notice anything amiss.

Prince Xuexing said urgently, "Tang Yin, that scoundrel Xue Qinghe colluded with the Spirit Hall and poisoned my brother."

“I have informants with irrefutable evidence against Xue Qinghe. However, the entire palace is filled with Xue Qinghe’s people, and I cannot even get close to his bedchamber.”

"Tang Yin, you must save my brother. Then, find a way to propose to him that I be allowed to see the Emperor. At that time, I will have my own means to ruin Xue Qinghe's reputation."

Tang San's pupils shrank.

He never expected that Xue Qinghe would actually collude with the Spirit Hall.

It's likely that there are still quite a few Spirit Hall experts lying in ambush throughout the palace.

If he really does as Prince Xuexing says, then he'll be in trouble.

Xue Qinghe dared to poison Emperor Xue Ye, so he must have made a meticulous plan.

He is indeed a variable, but it cannot be ruled out that Xue Qinghe has other methods.

Seeing him hesitate, Prince Xuexing said anxiously, "Tang Yin, if you hesitate any longer, there will be no time left. Your brother's health is critical, and if you are a step too late, he may pass away at any moment."

"You must find a way to stabilize your brother's condition. Don't rush to treat him. Once you're out, give me a hand signal, and I will arrange for someone to infiltrate the palace and catch Xue Qinghe red-handed."

"In that case, my royal family owes you a great favor, and I will be at your beck and call from now on."

Tang San thought about it for a moment and realized that the feeling of ordering around his enemy didn't seem so bad.

Besides, he didn't need to treat Emperor Xueye immediately, so getting away shouldn't be a problem.

With Prince Xuexing's endorsement, he could openly arrange for the Haotian Sect's experts to enter the palace.

Rescuing Emperor Xueye under such circumstances is a favor that the royal family should join forces with them to fight against the Spirit Hall.

With this thought in mind, Tang San gently patted Prince Xue Xing's hand and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, if I have the ability to heal His Majesty, I will certainly not refuse."

Prince Xuexing breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside: "If anyone questions you later, do not say that you have seen me."

"Work hard. As long as you can save your brother, you will have a chance to be ennobled and appointed as prime minister in the future."

As he spoke, he disregarded his status and position and slipped out through a gap in the palace wall.

Tang San never doubted Prince Xue Xing's identity, especially since the latter showed familiarity with the palace, which made him even less inclined to have such thoughts.

……

Prince Xuexing removed his mask, revealing his true face. This person was none other than Xue Qinghe.

Although some of his men were masters of disguise, their skills were far inferior to those of the angel skull.

Fortunately, Tang San did not notice any flaws in the mask. With the voice and posture disguised by the angel skull, it was impossible for anyone to see through it.

According to Wu Qi's plan, this move was called: "One shot, two kills".

Xue Xing and his nephew are now imprisoned in the mansion and are naturally unable to cause trouble.

Qian Renxue's self-directed and self-acted performance successfully lulled Tang San into a false sense of security.

Based on their conversation and observing Tang San's changing expression, she had guessed that Tang San wanted to use the power of the Heaven Dou Empire to take revenge on the Spirit Hall.

Just now, when Tang San heard that Xue Qinghe was colluding with the Spirit Hall, his eyes looked as if he wanted to tear Xue Qinghe to pieces on the spot.

Qian Renxue didn't think too much about it, changed back into Xue Qinghe's costume, and accompanied Tang San to finish the play.

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Sword Academy.

Wu Qi received a note from the palace.

It consists of only eight characters: "The palace coup begins, and the fish take the bait."

It took several days after Princess Xueke received the gold medal to deliver it to Tang San.

During these few days of buffer time, Wu Qi returned to Tian Dou City and learned the news.

Since Tang San is so eager to take the blame, there's no reason for us to miss out, right?
As for Xue Qinghe's actions, they were all arranged by Wu Qi.

Even if Xue Qinghe is later found to be colluding with the Spirit Hall and is criticized by people, so what?

Without Prince Snowstar and Avalanche as heirs, his throne would be unshakeable.

Besides, a new emperor brings a new court; it's perfectly normal for a new emperor to change the strategic direction.

Wu Qi conjured a gust of wind in his hand, easily erasing the written document and preventing it from being seen by outsiders.

While in Wuhun City, his and Qian Gu Chang Kong's identities had already been exposed. Going to the palace to provide support at this time would only be counterproductive and might even invite criticism.

Don't forget, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will also be involved.

Although Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo did not return, Bone Douluo did.

After several days of seclusion to absorb immortal herbs, Gu Rong has broken through to level 96, a level of strength sufficient to help Xue Qinghe.

As for Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluo, let them remain in the shadows.

……

royal palace.

Tang San, led by the patrol team, finally arrived at Emperor Xueye's palace.

Standing in front of the gate was none other than Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After checking Tang San's medicine box, he let him go inside.

Upon seeing Bone Douluo, Tang San felt a pang of doubt, as it seemed that Prince Xue Xing's words were not true.

After Tang Xiao's explanation, Tang San no longer believed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would collude with the Spirit Hall.

Now that Bone Douluo has personally arrived at the scene, if there are people from the Spirit Hall in the palace, how could he not recognize them?

Could it be that Prince Xuexing felt that the situation was hopeless and wanted to use him to make a desperate last stand?

Tang San couldn't tell whether it was true or not; for now, he should observe Emperor Xue Ye's condition before making any further plans. (End of Chapter)
