Immediately, guards and maids rushed forward and dragged the dying Gao Fengfen away.
Bei Gong Minhao walked out with a cold face. Zhenbei Wang immediately followed Bei Gong Minhao, his face showing some anxiety and worry in his heart, "Minhao."
"Father, I'm fine." Beigong Minhao's face was calm.
"Minho, I'll find you a virtuous concubine from now on!" The Prince of Zhenbei thought that he said such things and showed such an expression because he didn't want to worry him.
Bei Gong Minhao frowned slightly, stopped, and turned to stare at the Prince of Zhenbei. The Prince of Zhenbei immediately stopped. Bei Gong Minhao said, "Father, I don't want to repeat such a thing! Let's talk about the new Crown Princess later! I'm not in the mood! Father, farewell!" Bei Gong Minhao cupped his hands and then walked into his study.
Princess Zhenbei stepped forward, "My lord."
"Hmm. You heard what Minho just said?" Zhenbei Wang asked, looking at her.
"I heard that." Princess Zhenbei nodded. "I think it's best to let Minhao have some peace and quiet. We can't rush this matter of marrying the Crown Prince's wife."
"Isn't he just hoping to have a grandson? Sigh!" The Prince of Zhenbei sighed softly.
"We can't rush this," said the Princess Consort of Zhenbei. "Let's go. With something like this happening in the manor, the Prime Minister Gao's family won't let this go. I really didn't expect Gao Fengfen to be such a child! Humph, from now on, you'd better not be polite to that Prime Minister Gao in court!"
"Of course!" Prince Zhenbei sneered. "With a daughter like this from the Prime Minister Gao's household, he can forget about having a good reputation in the capital from now on, hmph!"
"I don't think Prime Minister Gao will let this go. After something like this happened, he will definitely try to find a way to make amends."
"Then let's wait for him to come!" The Prince of Zhenbei sneered. "Let's go back!" With that, he embraced the Princess of Zhenbei and left.
Bei Gong Jue Shi glanced at everything on the ground, watched the servants deal with it expressionlessly, and then walked towards Bei Gong Min Hao's study.
"Brother." Bei Gong Jue Shi knocked on the door from outside.
"Come in," a voice came from inside.
Bei Gong Jue Shi opened the door and went inside. "Brother, aren't you afraid of Prime Minister Gao doing this?"
“Perfectly flawless. Even if Prime Minister Gao has any grievances in his heart, he cannot speak them aloud. Tomorrow, Gao Fengfen will be paraded through the streets and then drowned in the river. Prime Minister Gao should know better and come to apologize. Humph!” Bei Gong Minhao sorted through the documents in his hands. “Tomorrow, the Third Prince will return from the border. He has some things to do.”
“Hmm.” Bei Gong Jue Shi nodded and immediately sat down in front of Bei Gong Min Hao. “But don’t you think it’s a bit cruel? The inner room is full of those smells. It seems a bit too much for you to treat her like this.”
“Not at all. Compared to everything she did to Wu Shang, I’ve been very merciful.” Bei Gong Minhao didn’t even look up. “When have you ever been so merciful? Heh,” Bei Gong Minhao said sarcastically, “As expected of Taibai Daoren’s disciple! Peerless, you don’t need to be merciful to your enemies.”
“I know that.” Bei Gong Jue Shi looked at his severed arm. “I will definitely get back what I have suffered.”
"I'd like to ask you about the seal on your body?" Beigong Minhao finally looked up.
"It's broken."
Beigong Minhao was startled and immediately stood up. "Then, then what about you?"
"Have you become a demon? Yes, I have become a demon." Bei Gong Jue Shi said calmly, "But I can control it, isn't that a good thing?"
"No, you can't control it. If you want to live, you should go back to Wudang Mountain as soon as possible and let Master Taibai think of a solution!" Beigong Minhao walked over and stood in front of Beigong Jueshi. "Let me see the seal on your body."
Bei Gong Jueshi obediently took off his shirt and then turned his back to Bei Gong Minhao. Bei Gong Minhao's dark eyes flickered slightly as he saw that the Bagua seal on his back was open, indicating that the seal had been broken!
Beigong Minhao walked up to Beigong Jueshi and asked, "How do you feel?"
Bei Gong Jue Shi put his clothes back on. "I wanted the feeling of an explosion. Mu Chen was right there... so, I, I..." He didn't finish his sentence, his face slightly red. Bei Gong Min Hao knew what he was talking about. "What about her? If you unleashed your power on her, she might not be able to take it!"
"I, I, what should I do? I couldn't control myself at the time, so I just... She's fine now, I'll go back to see her later!" Bei Gong Jue Shi realized what he meant when he heard him say this, and became even more worried about Yi Yun Muchen.
"Since she was fine then and went back with you, she should be alright. You don't need to worry too much."
"I'm still worried, I need to go back as soon as possible."
"Okay, you'll be mainly in charge of the marriage with Princess Muchen. Be careful in everything you do while you're by the side of the King of the Western Regions." Bei Gong Minhao patted Bei Gong Jueshi on the shoulder.
Bei Gong Jue Shi nodded.
Watching him leave, Beigong Minhao immediately entered the secret passage...
As night deepened, Nan Xuzong held Ji Wushang in his arms as they slept in bed. Just then, Nan Xuzong, who possessed great inner strength, heard a whooshing sound outside.
Nan Xuzong's cold eyes flashed as he looked at Ji Wushang in his arms, his gaze deep, and he held her tightly.
The man stood before their bed, his tall figure casting a cold gaze at Nan Xuzong and Ji Wushang.
Nan Xuzong knew who it was. He unleashed a golden thread, which Beigong Minhao easily dodged, immediately disappearing into a secret chamber. Nan Xuzong's intention was for him to wait in the secret chamber.
Beigong Minhao could certainly wait.
Nan Xuzong covered her with the quilt, wrapped her tightly to keep out the cold wind, and then bound her with gold thread. Using this strength, he sat in the wheelchair next to her, pushed the wheelchair, and entered the secret room.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you! How dare you barge into my room like this!" Nan Xuzong sneered, a hint of anger in his eyes. If he and Wushang were doing *that*, would he barge in too? If Wushang found out, how could he face anyone?
“You didn’t do anything with her.” Bei Gongminhao’s lips twitched. “Besides, if you kill me, who will do the work for you!”
“Many people will do things for me!” Nan Xuzong sneered. “What happened that you arrived so suddenly?” He stopped exchanging pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Prime Minister Gao colluded with Japanese pirates."
"I know."
"Miss Gao was divorced for adultery, and her lover has been murdered. Tomorrow, she will be paraded through the streets and thrown into the river! The Gao family will lose all face!"
"You're finally going to make your move." Nan Xuzong smiled.
"We're in the same boat, no need to make fun of me like that!"
"Hehe!" Nan Xuzong laughed upon hearing his words.
"Don't be arrogant!" Bei Gongminhao said seriously, "The Peerless Seal has been broken, and he has become a demon. Fortunately, he can still control himself. Now, the King of the Western Regions has requested His Majesty to bestow a marriage between Princess Muchen and Peerless. His Majesty and my father have no objections, and the imperial decree will be issued tomorrow."
"It's good to let them be together."
"But Jue Shi lost an arm, and he has to serve the King of the Western Regions to avenge his lost arm and Mu Chen."
"What about Princess Mu Chen's attitude?" Nan Xuzong raised an eyebrow, looking at Bei Gong Minhao in front of him, his eyes filled with worry.
"She's a good person. She doesn't want the King of the Western Regions to make another mistake. Those are her exact words." Thinking of Yi Yun Muchen, Bei Gong Minhao also felt that this princess was quite good. It would be a wonderful thing if Bei Gong Jueshi were with her.
Nan Xuzong shook his head, "The King of the Western Regions is not wrong; it is people's hearts that are wrong."
"Alright, let's not talk about that. The Third Prince is coming back soon, what do you think?" Bei Gongminhao looked at him. "The Second Prince is about to begin his plan."
"Isn't this even more exciting?" Nan Xuzong laughed. "Haha! I'm waiting!"
“Cong”.
“Once this started, it will continue until one of us falls, and then it will all end!” Nan Xuzong looked at him. “Remember what I told you!”
"Definitely." Beigong Minhao stretched out his hand and placed it on the table, opening his arms.
Nan Xuzong reached out and struck him, a smile playing on his lips, but one tinged with pain.
Beigong Minhao got up and disappeared into the distance without any hesitation.
Ji Wushang turned around but couldn't sense Nan Xucong. Startled, he sat up abruptly in bed, calling out, "Cong!"
"I'm here." Nan Xuzong had just closed the door to the secret room and pushed his wheelchair over. "What's wrong?"
“My heart is a little uneasy, my heart is a little heavy. When I woke up and couldn’t see you, my heart was so worried…” Ji Wushang said, getting out of bed and walking to Nan Xuzong.
Seeing that he was alright, I finally felt relieved.
"Don't worry, I'm always here." Nan Xuzong hugged her and then held her in his arms. Was she telepathically connected to him? Did she also sense the approaching danger, which was why she was so uneasy?
"Wu Shang," Nan Xuzong said suddenly, holding her tightly.
"Hmm?" Nestled in his warm embrace, Ji Wushang felt at ease and wanted to fall asleep.
"It's alright. Go to sleep! I'll just hold you like this." Nan Xuzong smiled and affectionately pinched her proud nose.
Ji Wushang lowered her head, snuggled against him, and then fell asleep in his arms.
Nan Xuzong looked at her, then at the sky. The night was even deeper, the stars were gone, and there was only a cold wind.
...
Bei Gong Jue Shi flew into the inn, expressionless, and walked directly through the corridors to his room in Yi Yun Shang Cheng.
“Your Majesty,” said Bei Gong Jue Shi.
"How is it going?" Yi Yun Shangcheng was fiddling with some small bottles, which contained unique Gu poisons that were found nowhere else in the world!
"Everything will be as the King says. The decree will be proclaimed tomorrow."
"You may leave now, so as not to disturb Mu Chen." Yi Yun Shang Cheng gently tugged at his sleeve, signaling Bei Gong Jue Shi to leave. Bei Gong Jue Shi said nothing more and walked away.
As the footsteps faded away, Yiyun Shangcheng put down the small bottle in her hand and gave Beigong Jueshi a cold smile.
He then continued his research.
At this moment, the five elders appeared, and Yiyun Shangcheng made sure everyone was safe before leaving.
He sat there with an air of devilish charm, arrogant and disdainful. His thin lips were so thin they were almost invisible, making him look sexy. His purple eyes were even more profound, and his magnificent robes could not conceal his domineering aura. "Speak," he uttered, his thin lips pressing down on the chests of the five elders with an invisible pressure.
The five elders were slightly taken aback, exchanging glances. Elder Jin stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the sacred object is emitting light in the palace of the Second Prince, Huangfu Ting!"
"Huangfu Ting? He's a member of the Yiyun clan?" Yiyun Shangcheng sneered, slightly raising his wine cup and swirling it. "Find out this person's background for me. I don't want any mistakes!"
"yes!"
Yi Yun Shangcheng narrowed her eyes slightly, "Keep a close eye on Nan Xu Cong."
"yes!"
Evian Shangcheng raised his proud head and poured the wine down his throat.
Huangfu Ting, haha!
A gentle breeze stirred within the magnificent palace, lifting the yellow curtains and adding a touch of nighttime atmosphere.
A man dressed in red and wearing a jade crown was handling matters at the desk.
His wolf-hair brush was vigorous and powerful, a hint of arrogance always played at the corners of his mouth, and his starry eyes were always fixed on everything in his hands, the light in his eyes flickering.
Suddenly, the man quickly gathered his things, raised his head slightly, and said, "Come in!"
"Your Highness, the Seventh Princess has arrived!" A young palace maid bowed respectfully as she stepped forward. "The Seventh Princess is just outside."
"Let her in." Huangfu Ting stood up, the corners of his mouth curving into a wider smile.
"Second brother, why did you make me arrive so late?" Princess Huangfu Lan asked as soon as she entered.
"Yes, I have something important to tell you," Huangfu Ting said. "Come sit here."
"Second Brother, you've never been so patient as to let me sit down and talk!" Huangfu Lan chuckled slightly. "Why don't you just get straight to the point, Second Brother?"
