Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 125 The Demon Within a Demon, the Blessing of Having Multiple Women

The Crown Princess looked at Lin Ruoshui in shock.

Could the medicine the Crown Prince was taking have come from her?

This woman is hiding herself so well?
"You're the one who's being insolent."

The crown prince was furious.

The Crown Princess was so disrespectful to the guests he had invited.

Moreover, it was all because of Qi Shiyun.

The crown prince couldn't stand this insult.

Especially after he discovered that he was walking a lot in the morning.

The Crown Prince felt that his patience was dwindling when he was with the Crown Princess.

He was no longer willing to give the Crown Princess any face.

"The Water God is a guest I invited. What kind of attitude is this?" the Crown Prince questioned. "I made you my principal wife, not so you could make a fool of yourself. Don't embarrass me."

The Crown Princess's story is complicated.

"It's alright. After all, the Crown Princess is pregnant, so it's understandable that she might be a little temperamental." Lin Ruoshui was very understanding. "I've seen many pregnant women when I was traveling around. They often have rather strange tempers during their pregnancies, but they'll be fine after the baby is born."

At this point, Lin Ruoshui's gaze fell on the Crown Princess's lower abdomen.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

"The child in the Crown Princess's womb is of the highest and most noble birth."

The Crown Prince sighed, "The Water God is so understanding, it makes me feel truly ashamed."

"Ruoshui was just telling the truth. The Crown Princess is carrying royal blood. This child is extraordinary from birth. As long as it doesn't die prematurely, it will surely achieve great things in the future."

At this moment, Lin Ruoshui's gaze remained fixed on the Crown Princess's lower abdomen.

The strange light in his eyes grew stronger.

The Crown Princess's eyes instantly turned to extreme terror.

Because at this moment, Lin Ruoshui's position was equivalent to standing between her and the Crown Prince, facing her directly and with her back to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince could not see Lin Ruoshui's eyes.

The Crown Princess could see half of it clearly.

But at this moment, the Crown Princess clearly felt a strange movement in her abdomen.

"Your Highness...it moved."

Who moved it?

The Crown Princess pointed to her lower abdomen.

The crown prince's face turned pale.

Is the demonic fetus moving?

"Your Highness and the Crown Princess need not worry. The dragon seed in the Crown Princess's womb seems to have already developed sentience. The Weak Water is close to heaven and earth and occasionally possesses spiritual abilities. It is quite reasonable that the dragon seed has sensed the Weak Water's observation and has made some unusual movements."

Is this reasonable?

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess looked at each other in bewilderment.

But then I realized that I had never been the top of the Hidden Dragon List.

Considering Lin Ruoshui's legendary achievements after her debut, it doesn't seem inappropriate to say that she is close to nature.

It's normal that they don't have the talent or understand it.

Therefore, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess did not raise any questions.

Lin Ruoshui turned to look at the Crown Prince and said in surprise, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess's unborn child seems to be much more intelligent than you, even more so than me."

Since her debut, she has never met anyone whose talent surpasses hers.

At most, he'd be on par with her.

However, the fetus in the Crown Princess's womb was one step ahead of her.

The prince's heart stirred. He thought to himself, "After all, it is the legendary demonic fetus, and it may even be Maitreya. It's normal for its talent to surpass yours."

Ashin didn't see it wrong.

Fortunately, he was prepared, and Emperor Yongchang also knew about it.

Even if Maitreya were truly reincarnated, he probably wouldn't be able to cause any major upheaval.

This matter involved the secrets of the Demonic Sect, and the Crown Prince did not want to discuss it further, so he laughed it off and changed the subject: "Water God, do you have any objections to what I just said?"

“No objection. If Your Highness has no other instructions, I can agree now and swear to the heavens that I will keep my promise to Your Highness. If I break this oath, may my cultivation never advance an inch for the rest of my life.”

In this world where gods truly reign supreme and there is no Sima Yi, Lin Ruoshui's oath immediately gained the crown prince's trust.

The Crown Prince solemnly replied, "I have promised the Water God that I will do my utmost. If I break this oath, may I never have any hope of becoming the supreme ruler again in this lifetime."

Neither of their vows actually involved life or death, but both were betting their futures on them.

For them, the future is, in some ways, more important than life and death.

Therefore, they both felt each other's sincerity.

Lin Ruoshui smiled and said, "I hope to continue to have a pleasant working relationship with Your Highness."

The Crown Prince also smiled: "I speak behind closed doors. In the future, I will ascend to the throne and the Water God will become a legend in the martial arts world. You and I are from different dynasties. Today's cooperation will surely be a beautiful story that will be passed down through the ages."

"Let us encourage each other, Your Highness." Lin Ruoshui did not feign modesty.

Yu the Great was full of martial virtue and had never given rise to Confucianism, so the two men's statements were quite bold.

"Your Highness, in order to complete the task you assigned me, I need more detailed information," Lin Ruoshui stated her request.

The Crown Prince readily agreed: "I've thought of something. I'll have Xiao Shunzi take the Water God to Miaoyin Pavilion later. I've already spoken to Lady Miaoyin. She'll tell you everything about this matter. If the Water God needs Lady Miaoyin to go south to Jiangzhou to assist him, she'll obey your orders."

“In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse.” Lin Ruoshui did not stand on ceremony: “This matter is of great importance and time is of the essence, so I will not disturb the East Palace any longer and will take my leave now.”

"I am sending off the water god."

The two walked outside together.

At this moment, Lin Ruoshui's voice transmission reached the Crown Princess's ears again:

"The Blood Guanyin has died under mysterious circumstances. Have you thought about how you will explain this to the Holy Church?"

The Crown Princess trembled again.

She was almost certain that Lin Ruoshui was also a member of the Demonic Sect.

The power of the demonic cult is truly immense.

Should I seek my father's help again?

However, the emperor was unaware that he had drugged the crown prince.

How can we accuse Lin Ruoshui?

The Crown Princess is caught in a dilemma.

Even after the Crown Prince returned, the Crown Princess was still pondering this question.

You lost your composure just now.

The crown prince continued to demand an explanation.

The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince, wanting to say many things, but in the end, she could only sigh.

"Your eyes are showing me pity?" The prince frowned, his emotions becoming unstable again.

This kind of look is the most taboo thing for a man who has been impotent.

But the Crown Princess's pity wasn't for the Crown Prince.

Rather, it was the Crown Prince's plight and his trust in Lin Ruoshui.

"You trust Lin Ruoshui so much? Do you even know her?" the Crown Princess asked.

The crown prince sneered, "At least I know more about you than I do about you."

The Crown Princess: "...You can know a person's face but not their heart. I advise you to be more careful."

"Just mind your own business."

The Crown Prince, of course, would not listen to the Crown Princess's slander.

His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the Crown Princess's lower abdomen, and he remarked with considerable emotion: "The 'Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demonic Fetus Manual' truly lives up to its reputation as a divine art. The demonic fetus it created even managed to deceive Lin Ruoshui, and even made her feel inferior."

The Crown Princess wondered to herself, "Have we really managed to hide it from them?"
Lin Ruoshui, who had just left the East Palace, also turned back to look at it.

The Crown Prince left a good impression on her today.

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself that she had just hinted at the "dragon seed" three times, hoping that the crown prince could understand the deeper meaning she wanted to express.

This is the limit of what she can do.

After all, she only had a good impression of the Crown Prince; it wasn't worth revealing a secret that could cost her her life in front of the Crown Princess for his sake.

A quarter of an hour later.

Miaoyinfang.

At this time, Miaoyinfang was not yet fully rebuilt, but there were still rooms available for private conversations.

After Xiao Shunzi, who had led the way, left, Miaoyin Niangzi closed the door to her room.

He then asked Lin Ruoshui, "What did you see when you went to the East Palace this time?"

"The Crown Prince's illness has greatly improved."

"So fast? Didn't the Crown Princess drug the Crown Prince beforehand?"

"Even after the drug was administered, there are still drug residues in the Crown Prince's body. Moreover, there are other people who have been drugging the Crown Prince."

He Miaoyin was shocked: "There are other people drugging the Crown Prince? Who?"

"It might be His Majesty," Lin Ruoshui guessed. "Or it could be someone else we don't know. In any case, the Crown Prince has really had a lot of misfortunes. I feel sorry for him."

He Miaoyin still couldn't hide her shock: "So many people drugged him, and you're saying he's fully recovered? Is his foundation that strong?"

"Indeed, the Crown Prince's potential has been greatly underestimated. Or rather, greatly diminished. As a descendant of immortals and a descendant of true dragon blood, the Crown Prince's talent was probably only slightly inferior to mine, but during his growth, he was targeted by too many people."

He Miaoyin: "..."

"There's something else strange: the Crown Princess is really pregnant."

He Miaoyin was shocked again: "Not a demonic fetus?"

“It’s a demonic fetus, and also a dragon’s offspring.” Lin Ruoshui said in a strange tone, “The Crown Princess herself probably doesn’t even know what kind of thing she will give birth to.”

He Miaoyin remained speechless for a long time.

"What? You don't think I saw it wrong, do you?"

"Of course I don't doubt you. I'm just wondering, if the Crown Princess is pregnant with the Emperor's child, whose child would it be?"

"Who else could it be?"

He Miaoyin: "...Is Emperor Yongchang a beast?"

Lin Ruoshui shrugged: "Even the emperors of Yu the Great had concubines who were retired emperors, so it's not surprising that Emperor Yongchang would do something like this. After all, Yu the Great's laws were used to govern the people, and there was nothing to supervise the emperor. Unrestricted power naturally leads to doing whatever one wants."

Although Lin Ruoshui's worldview was also shaken, she was able to understand the logic behind what happened.

"It was the Crown Prince who sent me to Miaoyin Pavilion. Now I can interact with you openly and legitimately. My lady, I'm going to Kuangshan this time. Is there anything you can teach me?"

"Answer me a question first."

"You said."

Have you seen Lian Shanxin?

"I've met him. He's a guy with a lot of ideas and a lot of courage."

Under her very nose, she presented the Crown Prince with a fake thousand-year-old snow lotus, which miraculously cured his health. This is something Lin Ruoshui still can't quite understand.

"What is Xiao Xin's 'Heavenly Eye'?" He Miaoyin looked at Lin Ruoshui in confusion: "Isn't 'Heavenly Eye' you?"

Lin Ruoshui shook her head and said, "I've only met him, I haven't seen through him."

He Miaoyin's pupils contracted: "There are peers you can't see through?"

"Yes, even I can't see through Qi Shiyun. I'm not the only one in this world who has had extraordinary encounters, so my wife shouldn't overestimate me. My wife, is it possible that Lian Shanxin is also a demonic fetus?"

“In the past, I would have said without hesitation that it was absolutely impossible.”

"now what?"

"I'm not sure anymore."

"Then why don't you come with me to Kuangshan and see your sister He Miaojun again?" Lin Ruoshui said in a deep voice, "I now suspect that she may very well be the legendary King Yama."

He Miaoyin blurted out, "Impossible."

Lin Ruoshui reminded her, "In He Miaojun's eyes, her younger sister was also very naive. My wife, perhaps just as she doesn't understand you, you don't understand your older sister either."

He Miaoyin fell silent.

“If He Miaojun is truly the Yama King who betrayed the Demonic Sect, perhaps she is one of us,” Lin Ruoshui said. “If we want to eliminate the traitor and revive the true Holy Sect, our current strength is far from enough.”

“The true Holy Church died many years ago; this is merely the process of its decay.”

“You are still here, I am still here, and many others are still here. The Holy Church has only temporarily lost its faith to the false Buddha. Kill Maitreya, eliminate the Bright King, and there is still a chance to set things right. My wife, I have already offered myself to the Buddha, are you going to back down?”

He Miaoyin lowered her head in shame: "Ruoshui, you are still fighting, how can I back down? Ruoshui, you have suffered so much."

"My wife is making plans in the capital; it will only be more difficult for her than for me. Let's not talk about this. My wife, are you going to Jiangzhou?"

“Go.” He Miaoyin exhaled a breath of stale air. “You’re right, I’m going to see my sister.”

……

Before He Miaoyin met her sister, Lian Shanxin met her sister first.

"Mother, where is my father?"

"You don't know?" Lian Shanxin was taken aback: "What do I know?"

After talking with Eunuch Wang, he rushed home to find out what Lian Shan Jingcheng meant by what he said earlier.

How come it's exactly the same as what was written in the Celestial Master's last letter?

But when he got home, he only saw He Miaojun.

He Miaojun asked curiously, "Jiutian sent someone to call your father away, saying there was something to discuss about the medicinal herb business."

Lian Shanxin's expression changed slightly.

"what happened?"

No one knows a son better than his mother, and He Miaojun keenly noticed the change in Lian Shanxin's expression.

Lian Shanxin didn't answer He Miaojun's question first, but instead asked, "Mother, are you sure it was people from Jiutian who called Father away?"

"Yes, I know Qi Wenbin."

"Qi Wenbin, come in."

Lian Shanxin immediately called Qi Wenbin in.

After being assigned to Lianshanxin along with Du Jiu, Qi Wenbin's presence was noticeably less strong than Du Jiu's. After all, he was a bit older, less talented, and less adept at social maneuvering than Du Jiu.

However, trusted confidants don't necessarily need to be too capable. As long as they can speak, learn, joke, and sing and are loyal, they can be trained as needed.

Therefore, Lian Shanxin entrusted the safety of his parents to Qi Wenbin.

But this time, Qi Wenbin disappointed Lian Shanxin.

“Young master, the person who came to see Doctor Lianshan is indeed from our Nine Heavens, ‘Ghost Step’ Suo Yuan Chu, a Domain Realm expert, who is deeply trusted by Lord Tianjian.”

"So you just let him take my father away?"

Only then did Qi Wenbin realize something was wrong: "Young Master, Lord Suo said he was only discussing medicinal herb business with Doctor Lianshan."

"Does negotiating medicinal herbs require the intervention of a Domain Realm expert like 'Ghost Step'?" Lian Shanxin countered.

Qi Wenbin's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he knelt down on the ground: "Young Master, it was my carelessness, I didn't think much of it. You were in the governor's mansion, and I didn't have time to report to you."

Lian Shanxin looked at Qi Wenbin with a gloomy gaze, his chest indeed churning with anger. However, at this moment, He Miaojun kicked him and shook her head at him.

Lianshan Xinshen took a breath, then waved his hand: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you, you can't stop it anyway."

But to realize it only now is still too slow.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Lian Shanxin missed an opportunity and had to pay the price, as did everyone else.

"You go out."

Qi Wenbin left Huichuntang in a daze.

He Miaojun asked again, "Xiao Xin, what exactly happened?"

"I've been given a very important task by my superiors. If I do it well, everyone will be happy; if I mess it up, many people will lose their heads, and Jiangzhou will probably be in turmoil from now on."

Lian Shanxin did not hide it from He Miaojun.

He rarely hid his situation from his parents, after all, Princess Xin was an upright person and there was nothing she couldn't tell others.

He Miaojun understood immediately: "The court is afraid you won't do your job properly, so they've detained your father as a hostage?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case."

“That means your father is safe. Even if you don’t handle things well, there won’t be any major problems.” He Miaojun comforted her, “In history books, when generals went on expeditions, their families were always left in the capital. It’s the same principle. There won’t be any major problems.”

“I understand the reasoning, but I really dislike it when they take my father away without even telling me,” Lian Shanxin said in a deep voice.

He Miaojun patted Lian Shanxin on the shoulder and sighed softly, "Xiao Xin, you're just a nobody in the True Realm. Why would the court care whether you like it or not? Only when you become a big shot will people care about your thoughts."

"That's right, this matter should be Shenjing's doing. Just now, Lord Tianjian was speaking up for me, so he should also be kept in the dark."

Given Zhang Aniu's status, if he were to do this, he would tell Lian Shanxin directly, without having to worry about whether Lian Shanxin would have any objections to him.

Moreover, Zhang Aniu had no need to do this. As the leader of the Heavenly Sword lineage, he didn't care much about whether Lian Shanxin was loyal to the king.

Based on Lian Shanxin's understanding of Zhang Aniu, Zhang Aniu's loyalty to Yu the Great was not absolute.

"It's either His Majesty or the Empress," Lian Shanxin said quietly. "His Majesty is more likely."

They probably also want to use this opportunity to investigate whether their father is actually Jiang Ping'an.

“Xiao Xin, don’t overthink it, and don’t feel too much pressure. As long as you do your job well, even if it doesn’t work out in the end, your father won’t have any problems.” He Miaojun demonstrated the ability of a true head of the family, her emotions very stable: “There are so many people in Jiutian, and so many officials in the court, the higher-ups won’t go too far. Otherwise, what will others think? This matter isn’t that serious.”

"Mother, tell me, do you think your knowledge and composure in the face of danger are those of an ordinary woman confined to the inner quarters? And you still say you're not the King of Hell?"

"roll."

He Miaojun's anger instantly surged.

"Ahem, did we arrive at the wrong time?"

While the two were talking, all of Ichishin's friends arrived.

"Why are you here?"

Zhuo Biyu said helplessly, "My master just found out about your father's situation and asked me to explain it to him."

Tian Ji added, "I was entrusted by Lord Suo to explain this to him as well."

Qi Shiyun shrugged: "I'm just here to join in the fun and ask what your next plans are."

Lian Shanxin felt a warmth in his heart.

The bonds between the nine clans are still the most meaningful.

"Mom, let me introduce you."

After all the members of the Yixin Society had been upgraded to the status of "adopting a mother figure," Zhuo Biyu said to He Miaojun, "Auntie, my master was also kept in the dark about this matter. It was Eunuch Wang who directly conveyed the order to 'Ghost Step' Suo Yuanchu."

Tian Ji spoke up, "Before I came, Lord Suo specifically sought me out and showed me His Majesty's warrant. Aunt, Ah Xin, please don't blame Lord Suo. He couldn't possibly disobey His Majesty's orders. However, Lord Suo said that Uncle will definitely not have any problems with him."

"His Majesty's order?" Lian Shanxin grasped the key point.

Tian Ji nodded: "I saw it, it's stamped with the imperial seal, it's genuine. Lord Suo also has parents, there's nothing he can do."

"I understand. Our Emperor is truly a wise and benevolent ruler."

Lian Shanxin could fully understand Emperor Yongchang's actions rationally.

An emperor should be such a cold-blooded political animal.

Unfortunately, the matter involved his entire extended family and Lian Shan Xin could not remain neutral.

"Mother, you should go back and rest first. Leave Father's safety to me; I still have some official business to discuss with them."

"Okay, I'll go cook for you."

He Miaojun left the space to Lian Shanxin and the others.

After turning around, He Miaojun's eyes still unconsciously turned cold.

After He Miaojun left, Qi Shiyun spoke up: "Axin, His Majesty doesn't trust you enough. It seems your previous methods have left a deep impression on him. Although Zeng Ningbing is dead, her death has made His Majesty even more uneasy about you."

Lian Shanxin nodded silently.

Tian Ji asked in surprise, "Didn't His Majesty believe that A Xin was his son?"

Zhuo Biyu laughed instantly: "He's the emperor. The more he believes Ah Xin is his son, the less at ease he'll be. Tian Ji, can you stop making your sister Zhuo laugh?"

Tian Ji's face flushed red, but he was speechless.

Because he realized that Zhuo Biyu was right.

What emperor doesn't guard against his son?

"Furthermore, His Majesty treats Ah Xin as a son, so what about the nominal father of this son? Shouldn't that be investigated? It's perfectly normal that Master couldn't find any results before, so he sent someone else to investigate."

Zhuo Biyu reassured Lian Shanxin, saying, "But you can rest assured, Ah Xin, 'Ghost Step' Suo Yuanchu wouldn't dare to overturn my master's conclusion unless he wants to die."

"Are you sure?" Lian Shanxin asked.

"Of course, the truth that 'Heavenly Sword' couldn't find out, 'Ghost Step' found out. What does 'Ghost Step' want to do? Isn't he afraid of going mad before His Majesty promotes him?" Zhuo Biyu asked rhetorically.

Lian Shanxin was relieved to hear this.

Zhuo Biyu is right.

This is the biggest reason why the second instance rarely overturns the first instance.

Trials that undermine unity should not be overturned.

Even if the whole world knows the conclusion is wrong, most people will just go along with it.

“Nine Heavens is the sharpest divine sword of the court, but it is not His Majesty’s servant. ‘Ghost Step’ Suo Yuanchu is His Majesty’s subject, but he directly obeys ‘Heavenly Sword’. Ah Xin, you should worry more about your own safety than your uncle’s.” Qi Shiyun reminded him, “Your uncle is outside Kuangshan. If you go deep into Kuangshan, you will be in the most danger.”

Tian Ji nodded: "Especially since my master divined that a member of the royal family will suffer a bloody disaster this month. Ah Xin, you need to learn to be lazy."

Upon hearing this, Lian Shanxin's heart stirred: "Brother Tian, ​​you should stay at Bailudong Academy to oversee the overall situation and take care of my father, so that I won't have any worries."

He almost forgot that the divination by the heavens was quite accurate.

We cannot easily send Tian Ji to Kuangshan to take the risk.

Moreover, even Shan Xin was worried that having Tian Ji accompany him would implicate him.

Upon hearing this, Tian Ji laughed: "Ah Xin, you're a true brother. You won't be upset that I deserted the battlefield, will you?"

"No, I only need to go into Kuangshan to find Kuanglu. It's much more difficult for you, Brother Tian, ​​to stay behind and take charge of the overall situation."

"You have good judgment; I didn't misjudge you."

Tian Ji was overjoyed by Lian Shan Xin's flattery.

Qi Shiyun and Zhuo Biyu watched quietly as Lian Shanxin deceived the fool.

Once the fools had been fooled enough, Qi Shiyun said in a deep voice, "Axin, I'll go in with you."

Her talent, like Lian Shanxin's, was very useful in this kind of thing.

With a destiny preordained by the heavens, perhaps she will be the chosen one.

"I'll be keeping watch at the foot of Mount Kuang. Ah Xin, if you spot any trace of the Demonic Sect's high-ranking members, notify me immediately. If we can gain the Demonic Sect's trust, I'll try to enter Mount Kuang as a disciple. We'll work together from the inside and outside to ensure everything goes smoothly. You've been appointed by His Majesty and the Empress to be in charge of this matter. If the three of us all go together, we'll be too conspicuous and easily captured."

Zhuo Biyu's concerns and plans made Lian Shanxin and Qi Shiyun nod repeatedly.

Tian Ji nodded in agreement.

"By the way, what about Qianmian?" Lian Shanxin asked.

"I don't know, they disappeared from the academy during the day."

This answer made Lian Shanxin frown slightly: "Qianmian cannot disappear. His abilities are too useful. If he enters Kuangshan together, he will definitely be an excellent helper."

"Ah-Xin, when do you plan to enter Kuangshan?"

"That depends on how urgently the imperial court is urging me. Of course, I want to be as well prepared as possible. But I estimate that by tomorrow at the latest, Eunuch Wang will be urging me."

"Cao Fuhu will also urge you. The incident at Kuangshan can no longer be kept secret, and Jiangzhou City will become the center of attention. As the newly appointed governor, he is under great pressure. Therefore, he definitely hopes that you can resolve the Kuangshan issue as soon as possible."

Qi Shiyun is right.

Cao Fuhu is indeed under a lot of pressure right now.

"You drained me dry yesterday, so please let me go today."

The bone-scraping knife chuckled foolishly as he leaned in, saying, "A man can't say no."

"I really can't take it anymore, you're too good, I can't handle you at all."

Cao Fuhu considered himself a fierce man capable of subduing dragons and tigers.

But every time they faced the bone-scraping knife, they were utterly defeated and routed.

Moreover, it is difficult to see any improvement without three days of rest afterward.

"Stop torturing me, save my energy. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"You'll do whatever I tell you to do?"

The hand wielding the bone scraper lingered on Cao Fuhu's chest.

"You can't expect me to rebel, can you?"

"Don't worry, it's not time for you to rebel yet. Tell me, what exactly happened at Kuangshan? And how does the imperial court plan to respond?"

Cao Fuhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's easy to say, but you have to promise me one thing."

The bone-scraping knife gripped Cao Fuhu's hand and chuckled, "At this moment, you want to negotiate with me?"

Cao Fuhu gasped, but gritted his teeth and said, "We must talk, you bone-scraping knife. I am a third-rank prefect of the imperial court. I am not one of those incompetent skeletons you have drained dry. We have a cooperative relationship before, and we will only have a cooperative relationship in the future."

"What a principled governor you are," the sarcastic voice of the bone-scraping knife made Cao Fuhu blush.

"Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about your official position. Cao Fuhu, you really are a power-hungry person. How high will you go before you reach the top?"

“In Jiangzhou, if I kill the King of Jiujiang, I’ll be the leader.” Cao Fuhu said in a deep voice, “Scraping Bone Knife, what I need you to do for me is to seduce the King of Jiujiang. Jiangzhou doesn’t need a prince.”

The bone-scraping knife's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "The Yongchang Emperor wants to weaken the power of the princes?"

"His Majesty has been thinking about this, but it is a matter of great importance, and His Majesty is still hesitant. Whoever can step forward and set an example for His Majesty will become His Majesty's new favorite and the court's new darling. I, Cao, aspire to become a high-ranking official and a general. This monumental achievement is not something anyone else dares to take. I will do it."

Even at this moment, with his weakness in the enemy's hands, Cao Fuhu still displayed his ruthless and ambitious nature.

"Seduce the Prince of Jiujiang? Very well, I haven't tasted the Prince's flavor yet. I agree."

Before the bone-scraping knife could finish speaking, it was interrupted by the sound of a window being pushed open.

The bone-scraping knife poked its head out of the window, looked at the two men on the bed, and couldn't help but laugh, but the laughter was cold: "Looks like I've come at the wrong time."

Cao Fuhu was first stunned, then looked disappointed: "No wonder His Majesty stumbled. It's really impossible to guard against. It's a pity that I am not feeling well and could not ride in the same carriage with His Majesty. It is a great regret in my life."

Both Qianmian and Guagudao looked at Cao Fuhu at the same time.

This guy is a real talent.
