Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

Emperor Liang came to confirm his suspicions with his own eyes, but now it turns out that Xiao Jingyi was just stumbling upon the truth, and the fear in his heart has vanished.

However, the fact that there are no doubts about this matter does not mean that the seeds of doubt have disappeared.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like, "The position of Crown Prince is vacant; you should strive to improve it," which is quite suggestive.

After he left, Xiao Jingyi arrived at the Su residence with a host of gifts.

Inside Mei Changsu's study at the Su residence.

"You mean, His Majesty is now allowing all the princes to vie for the throne?"

Mei Changsu frowned slightly, sensing a hint of conspiracy in the conversation.

"Yes."

Xiao Jingyi nodded, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then complained, "Why didn't you take the tea I gave you last time? This tea isn't good."

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu laughed and said, "Your Highness, what guest would complain about the host's tea? Besides, that tea was a gift for me, you know? Don't even think about it."

“…”

However, Mei Changsu was just saying that. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, you just said that His Majesty came out this time to test you. In my opinion, he will probably take some other measures."

"Yes, I know his character. It may dispel doubts, but once the seeds of doubt are sown, they are not so easy to eradicate. But I don't care."

Xiao Jingyi said calmly that he didn't mind revealing anything, since the plan was about to be completed anyway.

All he needs to do next is bring down Xia Jiang and Prince Yu, and he can then legitimately force Emperor Liang to abdicate.

This can also be considered as avenging Mei Changsu.

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu nodded: "Indeed, His Majesty is suspicious and distrustful."

Mei Changsu immediately raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Jingyi: "Your Highness, if His Majesty were to genuinely allow the princes to compete for the crown prince position, and the winner would become the next crown prince, would you participate?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and swirled the teacup in his hand: "Compete for the position of Crown Prince? No, the throne is what I desire."

Indeed, in Xiao Jingyi's view, the crown prince was nothing more than someone else's son.

He intends to ascend the throne in one fell swoop.

The position of Crown Prince is so worthless; I'll probably get a lot of flak from readers.

Moreover, even if the current Emperor Liang were to be given to the Crown Prince, he would have to be deposed if the Crown Prince posed a threat to him in the future.

Don't ask, the answer is that he's greedy for imperial power, greedy for the throne, and doesn't want to let go of it.

He then looked at Mei Changsu: "Besides, do you really believe that Father Emperor would let everyone fight over it?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu knew that Xiao Jingyi's words had a hidden meaning. After pondering for a moment, he looked at him and said, "Your Highness, do you mean that His Majesty deliberately laid out this bait?"

"Pretty much, this time it was the Crown Prince's assassination attempt and Consort Yue's manipulation of the harem."

"This dealt him a heavy blow, and at the same time, he wanted to assess the other princes and concubines, so he deliberately used the crown prince as bait to lure everyone in and force them to reveal their true colors."

Xiao Jingyi said in a deep voice.

He was still unsure at first, but today Emperor Liang came to see him personally, said some random things, and said that last sentence, and he became certain.

This incident had a significant impact on Emperor Liang.

Both the Crown Prince and Consort Yue nearly got out of control, which is clearly unacceptable for an emperor.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to know the methods and trump cards of others, and to find out the collusion between various parties hidden in the shadows.

Upon hearing his words, Mei Changsu thought for a moment before slowly nodding: "This does indeed fit His Majesty's character."

"Yes, so let them fight it out. Let me enjoy two more months of peace and quiet. After all, there won't be such easy days in the future."

Xiao Jingyi lay on the floor and said with a sigh.

Seeing this, Mei Changsu smiled and echoed, "Yes, Your Highness, you'll be busy from now on, but don't worry, I'll enjoy life to the fullest, including your share."

"Don't get cocky. I'll give you a lot of work. Enjoyment? Even I can't enjoy it, so nobody else can!"

"No way, Your Highness, you've already got that position, what do you still need me for?"

"Southern Chu, Northern Yan, and Night Qin."

Xiao Jingyi looked at the ceiling and calmly named these countries.

When Mei Changsu heard his words, he was stunned. On the surface, he was very calm, but in reality, his heart was already churning with turmoil.

Your Highness has the potential to conquer the world!

If Xiao Jingyi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely scoff at it.

To swallow them all, and yet call it the power to swallow the world?

Then I'll name the Qin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn't you be scared to death?

Of course, even if Xiao Jingyi had this thought now, he wouldn't say it out loud.

Because the current Liang dynasty is simply too weak.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Jingyi got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he looked at Mei Changsu and said, "We probably won't be able to meet for a while. The people from the Suspended Mirror Bureau are camped outside my mansion all day long."

"Just follow the original plan."

"I know." Mei Changsu nodded. The old gentleman he had sent to invite for the citizenship application had arrived, so the plan targeting the Ministry of Rites had already begun.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi nodded and left.

As he watched his carriage disappear into the distance, Mei Changsu clenched his fists: "Southern Chu, Northern Yan, Night Qin... what an enviable life! I wonder if I'll ever have that chance again..."

As he spoke, Mei Changsu thought of his frail body, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He then returned to his residence to rest, accompanied by the others.

In the following days, the Great Liang was shaken, the Crown Prince was deposed, and an uproar ensued.

Of course, this has nothing to do with ordinary people, but it has had a huge impact on the major forces in the Great Liang Dynasty.

Especially those who were originally part of the princeling faction, now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys have scattered, and countless people are living in fear.

However, these are not what they care about most.

What truly drove everyone crazy was Emperor Liang's words, which told the princes to fight for it themselves.

This has led many people to speculate wildly.

For a time, all the concubines in the palace who had princes were very active in their thoughts.

They either contacted their family members or their relatives who were officials in the central government.

Among them, Prince Yu was the most prominent. With the fall of the Crown Prince, he suddenly became the most promising contender for the throne, and many people flocked to him.

This has kept Prince Yu grinning from ear to ear these past few days.

Furthermore, he had Qin Banruo collect dirt on officials in the court, so it can be said that, on the surface, he now controls at least most of the power in the court.

Many people also believe that two months later, he will undoubtedly become the new crown prince of Daliang.

Little did they know that Emperor Liang had seen all the actions of these officials, as well as the movements of the concubines and princes.

0 ········Requesting flowers··· ········

As Xiao Jingyi said, everything Emperor Liang is doing now is for his own benefit.

While the outside world was in turmoil, Xiao Jingyi's place was peaceful and serene.

Since Emperor Liang's visit, Xiao Jingyi has been sleeping with this woman or that woman every day, beginning his conquest through action.

What frustrated him was that these women knew perfectly well that they were no match for him in a 1v1 match, and they always lost miserably.

But when I sent them a team invitation, they still refused.

"No, why are they still putting up a stubborn resistance?"

Inside the study, Xiao Jingyi frowned as he thought about how Yu Wuxin had refused his invitation to join a team yesterday.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! We've made progress!"

Just then, Jiang Huan, holding a letter in her hands, ran excitedly to Xiao Jingyi.

"Ok?"

Coming to his senses, Xiao Jingyi looked at Jiang Huan and asked, "Jiang Huan, what you're saying is all very vague. What's the progress? Tell me."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Jiang Huan took a deep breath and then said, "Your Highness, didn't you send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the background of the Fifth Madam's friend a few days ago?"

"That is indeed the case."

Xiao Jingyi then remembered that he had indeed given such an order. He looked at Jiang Huan and asked, "Tell me, what is the background of this party?"

0.

"Is it clean?"

"Your Highness, according to my investigation, the Fifth Madam's friend, Mu Dongfang, is very likely a member of the Sun Moon Cult."

"The Sun Moon Cult!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi suddenly stood up and quickly walked to Jiang Huan.

He was all too familiar with the Sun Moon Sect; Dongfang Bubai, Ren Yingying, Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong...

These names appeared in his mind one by one.

He took Jiang Huan's intelligence report and immediately opened it to examine it.

Upon seeing the record above, Xiao Jingyi pondered for a moment: "So, this group of people did indeed come from Blackwood Cliff, but they came to find Yue'er to cooperate."

"Could Yue'er be a member of the Sun Moon Cult?"

Xiao Jingyi had never considered Yaoyue's identity before, but now that he knew that Mu Dongfang and his group came from Blackwood Cliff, and that Mu Dongfeng and Yaoyue knew each other, he guessed that Yaoyue was also a member of the Sun Moon Cult.

"What about Mu Dongfang? Have you been able to ascertain her identity within the Sun Moon Cult?"

"Your Highness, an investigation is currently underway, and it will likely take some time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi had no energy to pay attention to Jiang Huan at the moment, and waved his hand: "Let them investigate slowly, there's no rush."

"Yes!"

"You may leave now."

Jiang Huan then slowly withdrew, leaving Xiao Jingyi alone in the study, because he felt that something was not right.

"The fact that Mu Dongfang came out of Blackwood Cliff shows that she is not a low-level person. Furthermore, the people she brought this time include those with the cultivation levels of Innate, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster. In addition, there is a person with a cultivation level of Great Grandmaster or above by her side."

"This is enough to show that Mu Dongfang has a very high status."

"But the name Mu Dongfang doesn't appear in the novel, so it must be an alias. If it is an alias, then Mu Dongfang, Dongfang..."

!!!

Suddenly, Xiao Jingyi seemed to think of a name.

The sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible!

Is Mu Dongfang actually Dongfang Bubai?!

possible!

But it's not 100% certain!

At this moment, Xiao Jingyi looked like a primary school student, a wise glint in his eyes: "It seems I need to figure out whether Mu Dongfang is really Dongfang Bubai."

"If that's the case... then Yue'er..."

"Holy crap!? My wife is actually a friend of the devil?!"

"Does this have to be so bizarre?"

Suddenly, Xiao Jingyi felt a strong urge to know the truth, so after a moment of contemplation, he walked to the brazier and threw the paper in.

He then said, "If I remember correctly, Dongfang Bubai seemed to have come looking for Yue'er today... I'll go and see."
