Chapter 124 - The Good Mouth

Tian Sisi was proficient in chess.

At this moment, with just this one glance, he had already discerned that the son of Wei Qing just now had played a miraculous role in turning the tide.

Because of Bai Zi's interference, the seemingly awkward Bai Zi instantly turned the tables around. According to her experience, Blackie would very quickly turn into a complete loser.

But, what a coincidence, what was the meaning behind Wei Qing's sudden fall?

Just as Wei Qing turned her head to look over, Candle Twilight's eyes lit up, painting a layer of faint golden light on her face. Coupled with that pair of eyes that flickered with confidence and splendor, it actually caused her to stare uncontrollably.

"Could it be that the Concubine Tian wants to stay and drink another cup of tea?"

Wei Qing's teasing face suddenly changed several times. She awkwardly retracted her gaze from Wei Qing's face and turned to leave.

However, on the way back, the light in her eyes became darker.

Even she, who had seen countless beauties, could not help but be captivated by the brilliant temperament emitted from Wei Qing's body. It was no wonder why Xiao Qingqian would still not forget about Wei Qing even though she had fallen for the Awakening Dan.

However, as time passed, the effects of the Awakening Dan would become more obvious, and Xiao Qingqian's disgust towards Wei Qing would increase as well. At that time, she would not believe that Xiao Qingqian could protect Wei Qing!

Hong Xiao would glance at her from time to time, but seeing that her originally cold face had finally revealed a smile, she quickly asked her in a low voice why she was suddenly so happy.

Tian Sisi swept a glance at her, walked to in front of a cluster of flowers, and ruthlessly cut off the most beautiful flower that had bloomed, "What do you mean, do you still need me to say it?"

Hong Xiao's gaze turned sluggish for a moment, and she immediately nodded, "This servant understands!"

After a day of torture in the prison of the Jing Zhao manor, no matter how tough and tough a man was, he wouldn't be able to take it.

"Prince, he fainted!"

Xiao Qingqian squinted, and said with a voice as cold as ice, "Splash!"

The man shuddered as a bucket of water was poured over him. The raw wound was itchy and painful, and he couldn't stop himself from breathing in a few breaths of cold air. His whole body was shaking.

"If you tell This King the truth about who you belong to, This King can guarantee you that This King will definitely not let you suffer anymore!"

The man spat blood and looked at Xiao Qingqian sarcastically: "Pei, dream on!"

The coldness in Xiao Qingqian's eyes became more and more intense, and his killing intent was completely undisguised as it shot out.

"Continue!" After saying that word, Xiao Qingqian left with anger all over his body.

Soon, the sounds of whipping came from behind him.

After fainting once again, Xiao Qingqian was worried that this person would be tormented to death, so he temporarily returned to Prince Chu’s Mansion.

At this time, a nimble figure passed the guards of the Jing Zhao Prefecture and headed straight for the prison of the Jing Zhao Prefecture.

He took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into the dying man's mouth.

The person who came took off the black cloth cloth that was covering his face, and was startled: "Qing Mu?"

Qing Mu shushed him with a finger and whispered a few words to him. That person nodded repeatedly and said weakly, "I will definitely do this beautifully!"

"Everything is up to you!" Qing Mu forcefully patted his shoulder. "It's not good to stay here any longer. I'll be leaving first!"

The man nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

When Greenwood went out, he carefully observed the surroundings before dexterously disappearing into the night.

In the morning of the next day, when Xiao Qingqian just woke up, he heard from the person that Jing Zhaoyin had sent to report that he agreed to confess.

Hearing that, Xiao Qingqian lightly raised his eyebrows, and without even needing to eat breakfast, he hurriedly rushed to the Jing Zhao Estate.

In the imperial hall, Xiao Hanqi said with a face of displeasure: "Royal father, even if Third Brother is tied down by something, he should send someone over to explain himself.

All these years, Old Emperor had been pretending to be deaf and mute, pretending that he did not see the conflict between the two, but after hearing what Xiao Hanqi said, he became even more impatient.

"Alright, I'm afraid Prince Chu is busy with the matter of the assassins! Everyone, do you have anything to report? "

Although the Old Emperor's words were light, but to these ministers that were smarter than monkeys, they could hear the deeper meaning behind them.

Xiao Hanqi's face was extremely awkward, he pursed his lips, feeling indignant in his heart, but after thinking about how he was still the crown prince, and was even a head taller than Xiao Qingqian, the gloom in his heart had almost dissipated.

When Chu Yin left the Northern Kingdom, the court officials did not have anything to report to him.

Prime Minister Wei stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this subject has something to report!"

Old Emperor nodded, gesturing for him to speak.

Firstly, because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the corpses at the city gate already had a rotten smell. It was really inappropriate to continue hanging above the city gate like this.

Secondly, it seemed that the rainy season was approaching. The south needed to prepare the food and medicine reserves in advance in order to prevent a sudden flood.

When he mentioned the Southern Flood Dragon, Old Emperor's eyes were still filled with praise. However, when Prime Minister Wei mentioned the matter of the corpses on the city gates, his face suddenly sank.

"Your majesty, the temperature is increasing day by day. The stench is unceasing near the city gates, and the citizens have to cover their mouths and noses!" "Besides, it's not appropriate to let the body rot like this!"

Prime Minister Wei was solemn, every word was for the citizens and the north. But, above the palace feast, he was tied to a pillar, this made him lose all face, if not for the fact that these people were already dead, Old Emperor would definitely let them live a life worse than death.

Hearing the Prime Minister Wei speak up for these corpses, the rage in his heart burned even hotter.

The other court officials all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, everyone thought that the Prime Minister Wei was really bold, to actually dare touch the emperor's reverse scale!

Prime Minister Wei kneeled on the ground, begging Old Emperor to think for the sake of the people of the Northern Kingdom!

Just at this time, Xiao Qingqian personally brought the only remaining assassin to the imperial court.

"Father, the assassin is finally willing to confess!" Xiao Qingqian bowed and said.

After he appeared, Xiao Hanqi's face suddenly became ugly. Especially after meeting Old Emperor's pair of eyes that were filled with a solemn and cold light.

Old Emperor shifted his cold gaze from Prime Minister Wei's face to Xiao Qingqian's, "Since you're willing to confess, why did you bring me here?"

"Father, this person must speak in front of you."

Old Emperor took a deep breath, "Then speak!"

Xiao Qingqian looked at the assassin, "Speak!"

The assassin looked at Prime Minister Wei with a deeper meaning. This gaze couldn't help but raise doubts in everyone's heart.

"Prime Minister Wei, I did it to protect myself!"
