"Does His Highness King Chen really have the evidence against His Highness the Third Prince?"
"Is the crime in those evidence big?"
the voice asked curiously.
The third prince sneered twice, "If Xia Jingzhi was really knocked open by him, what Xia Jingzhi confessed would be enough for my father to kill me ten times."
The voice said in a low voice: "Your Highness should kill Xia Jingzhi directly and resolutely after he finished those things, so as to avoid future troubles, and there will be no mistakes made today."
"Do you think I haven't thought about it?" The third prince said coldly, "But that bastard Xia Jingzhi has a hole card in his hand, so I dare not touch him."
The voice asked, "What hole card?"
The Third Prince probably expressed all the bitterness in his heart at this moment because there was no one to talk to him about.
"Xia Jingzhi is backed by Nanjiang Chonggu. He told me... If I kill him, he will announce to the public my connection with Nanjiang Chonggu."
"In our state of Chu, it is a taboo for the royal family to collude with foreign forces and interfere in Chu's internal affairs."
"Once Xia Jingzhi announces this, I will be severely punished by my father, and even deprived of my status as a prince!"
"And Xia Jingzhi claims that he has the deadly poison in his hands to destroy the imperial capital. As long as he dies, someone will sprinkle this poison all over the imperial capital!"
The third prince closed his eyes, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
Ever since Xia Jingzhi helped the third prince poison the eldest prince and the second prince, the third prince had the intention to get rid of Xia Jingzhi thousands of years ago.
But every time when he wanted to take action, Xia Jingzhi would intentionally or unintentionally reveal his methods and arrangements in the imperial capital.
This made the third prince not dare to take risks easily.
He had originally planned to wait until he ascended to the throne of God, and then slowly deal with Xia Jingzhi, but he did not expect such an accident to occur on the eve of his birthday.
In fact... when His Royal Highness Chen Wang took over the overall planning of Emperor Chu's birthday, the decision made by the third prince was not to cause trouble, but to wait for his birthday.
At that time, His Royal Highness Chen Wang specially arranged for Xia Jingzhi to hide, saying that he was to "hide", but in fact the Third Prince deliberately arranged for him to be placed under house arrest.
After the birthday is over and the third prince ascends the throne, he will immediately kill Xia Jingzhi who is under house arrest.
Later, when the Nanjiang Chonggu mission arrived in the imperial capital, and learned of Xia Jingzhi's situation, they secretly contacted the third prince and asked Xia Jingzhi to go to the Nanjiang Chonggu Guild Hall, otherwise the matter of his collusion with Nanjiang Chonggu would be announced.
The third prince knew that Nanjiang Chonggu did not dare to announce the collusion, because doing so would not do them any good.
But at that time, facing the pressure of His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and only one step away from the throne, at that stall, the third prince felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so he agreed to Nanjiang Chonggu's request.
then.
Only then did Xia Jingzhi return to the guild hall in the Southern Border Insect Valley.
After talking about the bitterness in his heart, the third prince seemed to be relieved, and the hostility on his face dissipated a lot. He continued to lean against the wall, and sighed weakly:
"I can't do anything, and I can't recover!"
Hearing that voice, he was silent for a while, and said: "I think... His Royal Highness the Third Prince has not reached the end of the mountain yet."
"It's too early to admit defeat now!"
"Oh?" The third prince became interested, slowly stood up from the ground, walked out from the corner, and looked into the bedroom, "Could it be that you still have a way to reverse the situation for me now?"
"Back to the point... who are you? Are you from my mansion, or a warrior from the Sun Moon Pavilion? Why did you appear in my bedroom?"
The owner of that voice did not show up anymore, but said with a smile: "Who am I...does it matter? The important thing is whether I can help His Highness the Third Prince turn the tide."
The third prince snorted, "Then tell me, what else can you do?"
The voice continued: "His Royal Highness Chen intends to announce Xia Jingzhi's confession on the birthday of Emperor Chu, and there is evidence against His Highness."
"Furthermore, His Royal Highness King Chen already has personal and physical evidence. The evidence is as solid as a mountain. His Royal Highness the Third Prince has no room for recovery."
"Is it right?"
The third prince nodded slightly, "That's right."
The voice said: "But... I have something to say about His Highness the Third Prince, and I don't quite agree with it."
The third prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "That sentence?"
"Your Highness said just now...if His Highness King Chen made Xia Jingzhi's confession public, it would be enough to kill you ten times."
"I think...even if His Royal Highness Chen presents the third prince's criminal evidence, His Highness still cannot die."
The voice said unhurriedly.
The third prince laughed speechlessly, "You don't know what I did, of course you think I can't die, but if you know..."
The voice didn't wait for the third prince to finish, before interrupting, "There are only three types of evidence against Your Highness."
"First, teamed up with Xia Jingzhi to poison the eldest prince, the second prince, and frame the twelve princes."
"Second, colluding with Nanjiang Chonggu to interfere in Chu's internal affairs."
"Third, colluding with the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"I was right."
The third prince's face suddenly became serious, and he looked around in horror. He didn't expect that the person in the dark knew so much about what he was doing.
The third prince said coldly: "Are you from the Sun Moon Pavilion?"
"You are...Shen Qingquan!"
"Your Highness is really thoughtful." Hearing that the third prince had guessed his identity, this person was not hiding anymore, ripples appeared in the bedroom, and a middle-aged man in white robes came out with a smile on his face.
This person is exactly one of the "February" in the "One Sun, Two Moons, Three Respects, Four Saints and Five Heroes" in the Sun Moon Pavilion.
At that time, the two of them were ordered to stop Lin Bai. Fortunately, Huang Qingyun arrived in time and stopped the middle-aged man in black robe. The middle-aged man in white robe was also frightened by Lin Bai, so Lin Bai was able to escape.
The third prince looked coldly at the middle-aged man in the white robe, "If you had stopped Lin Bai outside the imperial capital, there wouldn't be so many things."
"Why are you the only one? What about the other person?"
Since the First World War in the eastern suburbs, both of 'February' have disappeared mysteriously.
The middle-aged man in the white robe looked sad and helpless, shook his head and said: "He has already been defeated by Huang Qingyun, and should have been sent to Purgatory."
"What a joke, did I raise a bunch of trash?" The third prince was furious, "You are all top fighters in the Daoguo Realm of Daluo, and you are only one step away from the Daoguo of Hunyuan, and you can't stop it!" Lin Bai and Huang Qingyun are two Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors?"
The middle-aged man in white robe narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness probably doesn't know that Huang Qingyun is not an ordinary warrior, but an old monster from a hundred thousand years ago. She used the secret of the Holy Lotus Palace to return."
"When she fought with my companion, she inspired the power of the soul left after the reincarnation, and instantly recovered some strength."
The middle-aged man in white robe stared at His Highness the Third Prince and said: "One hundred thousand years ago, the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm was in chaos. Your Highness should be very clear about the strength of warriors who can survive in that era."
The third prince secretly sighed, not wanting to quarrel with the white-robed middle-aged man, so he asked: "You just said... even if His Royal Highness Chen Wang announced Xia Jingzhi's confession, I can still survive?"
"How to live?"
The third prince asked the middle-aged man in the white robe.
