Chapter 10

“Ah…” The Tenth Prince cried out miserably and spat out an arrow of blood. As soon as he woke up, he fainted again under the stimulation of this intense pain.

Although these three punches did not kill him, they were even more terrifying than killing him. They broke the ribs in his chest and made him a cripple. He could not even stand.

“Cousin!” Zheng Fugui rushed over and looked at him with concern.

“I’m fine.”

The Crown Prince walked out and ordered with a cold expression, “Take down everyone in the Tenth Prince’s residence. Don’t miss a single person!”

He looked at Ma Ping’an.

“Lead a group of Flood Dragon Guards and escort the Tenth Prince and the Saintess back to the East Palace to pry open their mouths.”

“Your Highness, what about your safety?”

“I have Zhang Ronghua.”

“Yes!” Ma Ping’an received the order.

He brought a group of Flood Dragon Guards and escorted the Tenth Prince and the Heavenly Sound Saintess away. He did not let the others go and ordered people to imprison them in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

“Follow me into the palace!” the Crown Prince said.

He got into the carriage and rushed towards the palace.

The huge matter that happened here had already alarmed the patrolling soldiers of the Five City Defense Divisions. When they saw that the Tenth Prince was bold and wanted to harm the Crown Prince, they were all shocked and felt as if the sky was collapsing.

Some people hurriedly sent this news to the people behind them and asked them to prepare early. The remaining people took the detention mission from Ma Ping’an and led the people from the Tenth Prince’s residence to the prison under the supervision of a team of Flood Dragon Guards.

They arrived at the palace.

Zheng Fugui did not have an official position and could not even enter the external palace. He could only wait at the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Zhang Ronghua protected the Crown Prince to the inner palace and watched him enter.

He retracted his gaze.

Thinking back to what had happened these few days, from the moment the middle-aged man found Old Ghost and used the hands of the Earth Fiend to spread the rumors, to the rumor that the Crown Prince was a woman, it had spread throughout the capital. Now, there was also the matter of the Tenth Prince.

Who was the person behind this?

Emperor Xia had many princes and some had great authority and power.

As for the Crown Prince, he was only ranked ninth. Before he was appointed as the Crown Prince, he was only the Ninth Prince. He had eight brothers in front of him and a few princes behind him who had very powerful family backgrounds.

From the looks of it, everyone was suspicious.

Once the Crown Prince was crippled, with their power, as long as they planned well, they might sit on the throne.

He rubbed his head with a headache and cursed in his mind. Emperor Xia was really useless! Why did he give birth to so many princes for no reason? Couldn’t he have shot his load on the wall?

In less than 15 minutes.

The Crown Prince returned with a cold expression. With Qing’er’s help, he got into the carriage and rushed towards the East Palace.

The huge empire’s gears operated at high speed.

The Tenth Prince’s mother, Concubine Wan, was imprisoned in the palace. Without any decree, she was strictly forbidden to take a step out. The palace maids and eunuchs beside her were all taken away and there were experts guarding the palace.

Everyone in Concubine Wan’s family, including the third generation, was captured and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The residence was sealed.

At the same time, the True Dragon Hall sent an expert to the old site of the Heavenly Sound Sect to eliminate them.

Although the news was sealed, it still spread.

It caused a huge commotion among the higher-ups. Some smart people recalled what had happened recently and felt that a storm was coming. They immediately warned their disciples to be careful and not mention a word they should not say.

Only the Tenth Prince’s twin sister, Princess Anping, had disappeared. The news he had obtained from the palace was that she had pretended to be a young eunuch a day ago and secretly slipped out of the palace.

Emperor Xia had already sent people to capture her!

Back at the East Palace.

Xuanhe Hall.

The Crown Prince sat at the head of the table with a cold expression. Shuang’er glared at Qing’er, her eyes filled with blame. Qing’er lowered her head in shame.

If she had been more careful, the Crown Prince would not have been humiliated today!

“Your Highness, the people in the Tenth Prince’s residence are already imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. However, the Tenth Prince and the Heavenly Sound Saintess are very stubborn. I’ve punished them greatly, but they actually don’t speak, especially the Tenth Prince. He cries and says that he doesn’t know anything,” Ma Ping’an reported.

The Crown Prince looked at Zhang Ronghua and said in a low voice, “I’ll leave this to you.”

“Yes,” Zhang Ronghua agreed.

After leaving the Xuanhe Hall, Zheng Fugui welcomed him from the side and lowered his voice, “Cousin, what did the Crown Prince reward you with?”

Bang!

He was rewarded with a knock on the head, and the latter immediately became obedient.

In the side hall.

Seeing Zhang Ronghua arrive, the Tenth Prince was traumatized by him. He was originally shouting and screaming that he did not know anything, but he immediately shut his mouth.

He stopped in front of him.

Zhang Ronghua said, “Who instructed you?”

“I-I really don’t know.” The Tenth Prince was so afraid that he even forgot to address him.

Slap!

A huge slap was sent over.

“I’ll give you another chance!”

The Tenth Prince had snot and tears like a dam that had been broken. He was in a sorry state. “I really don’t know anything!”

“Then why did you still do this?”

The Tenth Prince hesitated and considered whether to say it. Before he could think about it, two more slaps were sent his way.

Where was the dignity of a prince? He was even inferior to a dog.

“Don’t hit me! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything…”

Soon, Zhang Ronghua learned that he did not want to do this, but he was threatened.

The truth was unbelievable. His anus had been penetrated and they had even stored the video with a recording stone.

In the beginning, he was also very afraid that once this matter was exposed and affected the dignity of the imperial family, he would be imprisoned in the Clan Manor for the rest of his life until he died.

However, gradually, he discovered that nothing happened.

His courage recovered again. When he was with the maid, he was not interested at all. He actually found a gigolo…

Until two days ago.

One night, a black-clothed person found him and threatened him with this matter to invite the Crown Prince over and let him cooperate with the plan. If he did not agree, they would expose this matter.

He was afraid, but he had no choice.

For his own safety, he could only agree to the other party’s request, causing this scene today.

After hearing this, Zhang Ronghua was dumbfounded. This was a prince? He was clearly a dog.

He waved his hand and got the Flood Dragon Guard to bring him down.

Then, he walked to the Heavenly Sound Saintess.

“I’m not that useless trash, the Tenth Prince. Use whatever methods you have. If you can make me answer with a word, you’re quite capable.”

Her teeth had already been shattered to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.

Zhang Ronghua smiled coldly, “Is that so?”

He used the Seven-section Soul Extinguishing Palm and slapped her bones. He was very heavy-handed and took care of every bone in her body.

“What did you do to me?”

Zhang Ronghua sat down in a chair and took the tea from his cousin. He took off the tea cover and drank it leisurely.

It hurt!

An intense pain!

It was as if her soul had been pulled out and placed on the flames to roast, or as if a saw was pulling…

In an instant, the Heavenly Sound Saintess could not endure it. Under this inhuman torture, she screamed pathetically.
