"General, it's Liang Shan in front of us." A subordinate said. They were all people of this island.

"It's been a long time since I last came back. I wonder how everyone on the island is doing now." Your subordinate spoke out.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to come back here one day." Leng Yue stood on the bow of the ship and sighed.

"Do you want to go on the island and have a look?" The subordinate asked.

"I also want to go up and take a look, but elder sister and the rest are in danger and I don't know what the situation is. We have to hurry and save them first. As for the matter of going to the island, I will come back later. " Liu Yue said rationally.

"Yes, quick, set sail." After the ship stopped for a while, I ordered them to hurry up.

In the underground city, all the Ghost-Masked Man were extremely busy, preparing to sacrifice themselves for the heavens. Tomorrow was the Rites of Heavenly Worship, and not a single flaw could be missed.

"I don't know if Xue Shaoli succeeded or not, but if Mu Ying doesn't die, then I won't be able to relax." At the Heaven's Sacrifice Conference, Da Dan was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry about the order. Didn't Miss Xue send a message saying that Mu Ying is now lying on the bed like a cripple? What are we worried about him for?"

"That is true, but he is still a prince after all. If he wakes up and tells the emperor about us, then all these years of preparations would have been in vain. Perhaps he might even implicate the third prince." Even though he had his hands behind his back, he was still worried.

"Look, Mu Mu has been out for so many days. He even wrote a letter to inform the Emperor. Didn't he get intercepted by the people from our palace?" What's more, Mu Ying Xue was heavily injured, so no one cared. "We were worried before, but we're still fine now. You don't have to worry about that."

"That's true, the third prince is extremely powerful and will definitely protect us." Big Dan was finally relieved for the time being.

"However, we still need to be on alert. We need to be ready for battle at any time. We can't let our guard down."

"Yes."

Third Prince had often secretly visited Zheng Ziyi these past few nights not because he liked her, but because he hoped that she would become pregnant with a little prince as soon as possible.

This Zheng Ziyi was extremely charming, and also somewhat similar to Xue Ruyun. She was intelligent and capable, the Emperor didn't directly beat her into the cold palace, but instead only accepted her request. Firstly, she said that the Emperor had no evidence, and secondly, in the Emperor's heart, she still had some feelings towards Zheng Ziyi.

Thus, Mu Lingfeng was optimistic about her. She felt that if she was able to conceive a prince, she might be able to rely on her precious son. It wasn't impossible for her to be pampered again.

"Third Prince, today this old servant heard an incredible thing." Within the secret room, Eunuch Wei rushed over anxiously.

"What is it? Please sit down and speak slowly." Mu Lingfeng asked calmly. This was his habit. The more important things happened, the calmer he had to calm down.

"This old servant heard that a few days ago, the emperor's secret edict, Cold Moon, entered the palace and gave her a military seal. He told her to bring her troops to Qingshui County to investigate the matter of the underground city, so Mu won and the others."

Eunuch Wei was no longer by the side of the emperor. The emperor had become Eunuch Qin who was with Mu Zhuo. It would be harder for him to obtain information than it was in the past. The news he got was also very late.

"What!" When Mu Lingfeng heard this news, even if he maintained his cool, he still couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He originally thought that this matter would end like this, but he didn't expect the Emperor to have such a trick up his sleeve. At that time, after Mu Ying and his men discovered the secret of the underground city, Mu Lingfeng had detained all of Mu Ying's letters in advance. A few days ago, when the Emperor investigated, he was only putting on an act and gave them a letter that wasn't that important.

At that time, the Emperor had only sent a letter to inquire about the situation. He hadn't thought that the Emperor would send a cold moon behind his back. It seemed that the Emperor had placed a great deal of importance on this matter. After all, the Emperor was the Emperor. He was always able to clearly distinguish the importance of certain matters.

"What should we do now?" Mu Lingfeng felt a headache coming on. He forced himself to calm down as his hands trembled slightly as he poured the wine.

The entire secret chamber was filled with the sound of wine being poured. Mu Lingfeng drank three cups of wine consecutively before finally calming down.

He had secretly prepared the underground city of Qing Shui County for many years, which was why it looked like it was today. There were all sorts of facilities inside, and they could completely support a strong army. This would be a strong backing for seizing power in the future.

Furthermore, the gold mining inside had sustained all the expenses that he needed after many years of trying to rope in all sorts of relationships and nurture all sorts of powers. Otherwise, with just that little bit of salary, how could he become so strong and have such a powerful force today?

The gold mine was vital, and he could not afford to lose it. But what now?

"Our main goal right now is to prevent Leng Yue from finding out the truth. If those who know the truth all die, then we won't know anymore." Mu Lingfeng stood up, with one hand behind his back and the other holding the wine cup, he said while pacing around.

"Right now, only Holy Maiden Mu Ying and the others have escaped. There is nothing to be afraid of." The butler followed Mu Lingfeng's train of thought and said.

Xue Duan Sheng had always been a sinner. Moreover, he was the one the emperor hated the most. The Emperor simply wouldn't believe what he said. Xue Ruyun was imprisoned. The Rites of Heavenly Worship was about to be beheaded, so there was no need to worry. As for that so-called Holy Maiden, she would probably never even see the Emperor in her entire life. What's more, Da Dan was ordering the Ghost-Masked Man to chase and kill him.

"Now, only Mu Ying is left …" Mu Lingfeng nodded.

"I heard that he's unconscious..." the butler said.

"That line told him to never wake up again. He kept spoiling my life, and in the future, he might even want to fight me for the throne. He deserves to die." Mu Lingfeng said in a cold voice, his eyes revealing a murderous light. His two fingers instantly crushed the cup.

"Tell Da Dan and Xue Shaoli about what happened here and tell them to be careful not to let Leng Yue find out anything." "Secondly, we must finish off Mu Rong Hao and Xue Ruoyun before they reach the Clear Water County." Mu Lingfeng rubbed his fingers and blew away the powder.

Xue Shaoli was extremely smart and understood Mu Lingfeng the best. Without Mu Lingfeng's arrangement, she had already started her plan to kill Mu and win.

In the afternoon, the treatment had reached its most important moment. The blood clots in Mu Ying's body had already been cleaned out. Now he needed to fix the blood vessels one by one, apply the medicine on them, and then stitch up the wounds. He would use the medicine on the wounds and count it as a success.

"Not good, Big Brother!" The bird went to the screen to get the needle and thread that had been prepared beforehand, but the needle and thread had disappeared.

"What happened?" At this moment, Bian Xi was smoothing out the strands of his blood, his hands covered in blood.

"The needle and thread are missing!" The flat bird looked panicked. This was because he knew the importance of this moment. His heart had already been peeled off for too long. If he wasted any more time, then Mu Sheng would probably die.

"How could this be?"

"I remember we both checked and checked the equipment before. Someone must have done something while you and I were focused on the treatment." The flat-bird guessed it right away.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Quickly go and find needle and thread. Quickly, your highness's situation is not good." As he spoke, Bian Xi used his hand to feel Mu Ying's breath and felt his pulse. He realized that Mu Ying's situation was not good.

"Alright!"

Wei Ming had been exposed to the scorching sun for an entire day and his body was still recovering. Although he was standing upright, he couldn't hold on for much longer. He gritted his teeth and persevered. Veins popped out on his forehead, and his clothes were soaked through with sweat.

"Wei Ming, Wei Ming!" At this moment, hurried shouts came from the room. Something must have happened to the Prince. Wei Ming shuddered and tried to clear his head.

"What is it?" When Wei Ming opened the door, he saw that the flat bird's hands were covered in blood, and the bib on its body was also dripping blood.

"Ah, the Prince, he …" When Wei Ming saw this situation, he thought the treatment had failed and that Mu Sheng wouldn't make it.

"Your highness isn't in a good condition right now. Someone just entered the room and took our needle and thread away. The situation is urgent, go and find them." After saying that, the small bird went back inside to rescue him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wei Ming was shocked. He had been guarding outside the door the whole time and hadn't even taken half a step away. How could something like this happen? Wei Ming felt both panic and regret at the same time. It must have been because he had been inadequately guarded that something like this had happened.

In his mind, he quickly thought, "Just who is it!?"

"Ghost-Masked Man?"

"Xue Shaoli?"

These two possibilities surfaced in Wei Ming's mind. Either the skilled and superb Ghost-Masked Man had snuck in. Or Xue Shaoli.

"I knew this woman wasn't that kind. I must have fallen into her trap." Wei Ming hit the wall hard and brought him to Xue Shaoli's courtyard immediately.

"Surround this place! Xue Shaoli, get out here!" Wei Ming drew his sword and pointed it at Xue Shaoli's door as he shouted.

"What happened?" Xue Shaoli and Mrs Zhao walked out of Mrs Zhao's room. Xue Shaoli seemed to be frightened by the formidable force and hid behind her with Mrs Zhao's hand in his.

"Is it you? Earlier, you entered the prince's mansion and took the needle and thread. Quickly hand them over, and I'll spare your life." Wei Ming walked in front of them and pointed his sword at Xue Shaoli.

"I didn't …" Xue Shaoli waved his hands, and tears flowed down his face. He looked like he had been wrongly accused.

"Isn't it just a few broken needle and thread? I have plenty of them in my room, who would care about your prince?" Mrs Zhao feigned ignorance as she spoke.

"This is the needle and thread specially used to sew up meridians!" Wei Ming grabbed the clothes on Mrs Zhao's neck and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat her.

Mrs Zhao was frightened by this and stammered, "I, I, and Shao Li have been in this room the entire time. Embroidery. Why, why is it that your Prince's needle has disappeared and he has come looking for me?"

"Because your good daughter just went to deliver green bean soup!" Wei Ming threw her aside.

"What, so it was because of this suspicion that I was kind enough to bring you soup? You actually think of me as such a person, wasting my feelings for you …" Xue Shaoli covered his face and began to cry.

"I …" Seeing that she was so serious, Wei Ming hesitated a little. Did he misunderstand her? Was this done by the bronze masked man?
