By the time he returned to the palace, it was already past dinner time, and after a day of travelling, Han Xiao's stomach was rumbling with hunger. He wished that he could quickly find something to fill his stomach.

"Cousin Jianfeng." Han Xiao looked at Xiao Jianfeng embarrassedly.

Seeing Han Xiao's expression, and thinking about how Han Xiao did not eat much today, Xiao Jianfeng immediately understood what Han Xiao meant. He bowed and said, "It was this subordinate's negligence. This subordinate will go and have a meal now." After saying that, Xiao Jianfeng turned around and quickly walked towards the imperial kitchen. He was afraid that Han Xiao would blame him if it was too late.

Although it was prepared in a hurry, there were eight dishes and a soup. There was also a plate of fragrant lotus seed cake, and Han Xiao no longer felt wronged after seeing the food on the table. He quickly walked to the dining table and sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up the chicken leg, which was closest to him, and took a big bite.

"Cousin Jianfeng, Lil 'Lei-zi, sit down and eat too. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat at this table myself." Han Xiao looked at Xiao Jianfeng and Little Lei Zi who were standing beside the table and said.

"Seventh Prince, your subordinate is unable to come to the table." Xiao Jianfeng said while bowing.

"Little people, little people, can't even come onto the table." Little Lei Zi looked at the dishes on the table and gulped.

"We're already in my territory in the Palace, how can there be so many rules? I told you to sit down and eat, otherwise I'll punish you." Han Xiao put down his chopsticks and pouted as if he was angry.

"Pa ji." Xiao Jianfeng, on the other hand, also waved his sleeves and bowed towards Han Xiao as he sat down on the chair, but he did not take the chopsticks out of his hand in a hurry like Xiao Lei.

"You guys should also eat quickly. Otherwise, you won't even have time to eat later." Han Xiao said as he once again picked up a lotus root cake with his chopsticks.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, although Little Lei Zi did not really understand, he also sped up. In just half a cup of tea time, half of the dishes on the table were gone, and there was only a piece of lotus root cake left on the plate. He had already seen the bottom of the bowl of soup, until he was no longer able to put anything down … Little Lei put down the chopsticks reluctantly, but when he raised his head, he discovered that Han Xiao and Xiao Jianfeng had already put down their chopsticks and were all looking at him.

"Seventh Prince, I'm sorry." Although he had never been to the palace before, but he had heard that life in the palace was the most worthless thing to do, and if he did not do well, he might get killed by his master.

"Forget it, you are too hungry today. However, you don't need to call yourself a vile character in the future. If you are my subordinate, just call yourself a subordinate like elder cousin Jianfeng." Han Xiao gently said.

Just as he wanted to say something, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and Han Xiangtian's personal guard, Lei Ye, hurriedly walked in. Seeing Han Xiao bend slightly, he stood straight up and said, "Seventh Prince, Duke Xiao just caught a few villains and said that those people wanted to kill the Seventh Prince on the road. After hearing this, the Emperor was furious and immediately ordered for those people to be escorted to Fengxian Palace for beheading, and he asks Seventh Prince to go out and take a look."

"Father, thank you. Since the people have already been delivered, I will follow you out to have a look. Little Lei Zi, you should familiarize yourself with my surroundings and the Palace." With that, Han Xiao stood up and followed Lei Ye to the front of the Fengxian Palace.

As soon as he left the gates of the Phoenix Sage Palace, Han Xiao saw the few people who attacked him being tied up and kneeling in front of the gates of the palace. A few guards of the first tier were holding sabers to their necks, as if they could be beheaded at any time.

Seeing Han Xiao come out, the few people's faces changed and they opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but in the end they just knelt like they accepted their fate without saying anything.

"The Seventh Prince has already come out." "The execution." Lei Ye shouted.

With the command of the Thunder Night, the guards unhesitatingly raised their sabers and lowered their heads. Streams of fresh red blood dyed the path in front of Fengxian Palace red. The thick smell of blood immediately filled the air, stimulating Han Xiao's nerves.

"Han Xiao understands the intentions of Thunder Guards' royal father, but this Phoenix Sage Temple is still my residence. Since he is already dead, I hope that Thunder Guards can clean up the area in front of Phoenix Sage Palace." With that, Han Xiao turned around and headed back to the Palace. His gentle eyes slowly turned cold as he turned around. Although the smile on his face was still hanging on his lips, it gave off a cold and gloomy feeling.

When Han Xiao returned to the palace and saw that the dinner had already been taken away, he waved his hand to chase away all the people other than Xiao Jianfeng. He slowly got up and said to Xiao Jianfeng, "Cousin Jianfeng, how many Spirit Stones do you have in your hands right now?"

"About a hundred thousand." Xiao Jianfeng said after being stunned for a moment.

"One hundred thousand. Then lend me fifty thousand first. I need you to bring these fifty thousand Spirit Stones to set up the Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion tomorrow." Han Xiao said.

"Fifty thousand yuan might not be enough to set up the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant. After all, that is the Third Prince's territory. Furthermore, the area of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant is very good and the business is also very good." Xiao Jianfeng said.

"Good business is one thing, but if there is any problem after someone eats the food from the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant, and if the owner of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant offended the current Seventh Prince, do you think the business of the restaurant will be good?" A faintly discernable smile appeared on Han Xiao's face.

In his previous life, the person he hated the most was the person who used underhanded methods behind his back. But now, in order to achieve his goal, he did the thing he loathed the most.

If something goes wrong with the things inside the restaurant, it will definitely cause the business of the restaurant to plummet. In addition, after today's incident, the third prince should also treat the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant as his abandoned son. If it works well, he might be able to buy the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant for 50,000 yuan. Xiao Jianfeng lowered his head in thought for a moment before speaking.

He looked at Xiao Jianfeng with satisfaction and said to Han Xiao: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter to cousin Jianfeng. Oh right, what kind of pill could possibly be able to raise one's cultivation speed and poison their body?"

I actually do know that this kind of pill, called the Longevity Pill, can maximize one's potential, and after consuming it, even the worst talent can reach the late stage of Soul Formation in a short period of time. However, after reaching the late stage of Soul Formation, one cannot increase it by even a single step, and one's lifespan can only reach up to thirty years.

"Elder Cousin Jianfeng, I wonder if you have the Longevity Pill?" Han Xiao asked.

"I have a few in my hand." As he said this, Xiao Jianfeng took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring and handed it over to Han Xiao.

"Thank you, Cousin Jianfeng." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.

He looked deeply at Han Xiao before asking hesitantly: "I wonder if Seventh Prince wants to give this Longevity Pill to Little Lei."

"Yes, other than the people from the Xiao family, I don't dare to believe anything else, let alone the fact that Little Lei Zi appeared at such a coincidental moment. Rather than falling into the scolding of a subordinate in the future, I might as well end his life right now." Han Xiao said gently, but the gentler his tone, the colder Xiao Jianfeng felt.

"Cousin Jianfeng, you must be tired today. Go and rest early." Han Xiao said.

"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave." After saying that, Xiao Jianfeng turned around and left.

After Xiao Jianfeng left, Han Xiao's eyes slowly turned scarlet, the scene of him being humiliated in prison once again replayed in his mind.

"Stop, you still want to run away despite owing money? You're courting death."

"Let him go. I will pay back the money he owes. Merely several tens of thousands of dollars is enough to take one's life. Aren't you two looking down on human life too much?"

"Oh, look, this newcomer is the rich young master. Should we go through the ritual of welcoming newbies?"

"Young Master Ouyang, you're really a kind person. When I was short on money, you gave me money. Now that we've been in prison for so long, you can continue to use your kindness to help us."

Do you know who recorded this disc in my hands? It was the person you helped at that time who coveted you, and it was also him who suggested locking you up with those nice guys in the prison. I took a look at the content of the video, and I think it was really very interesting. .

"Lil 'Lei-zi, don't blame me for being ruthless. People are meant to take advantage of each other, and I won't allow the same kind of betrayal to happen twice." With that, Han Xiao slowly opened his eyes, his crimson eyes filled with killing intent.
