Suppressing the news, summoned by the imperial family

"With your words of Senior, I can finally rest assured."

"Before this, I was worried that if I couldn't find Nine-Section Emerald, I would never have one again, after all, I really like raising Nine-Section Emerald."

Bai Wanwan patted her chest, looking as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just one Nine-Section Emerald. If you like it, I can get you a few more. It's not difficult at all."

Dugu Bo took a small sip of tea.

Bai Wanwan smiled, took a small sip of Clear Tea, picked up a piece of cut fruit, and put it in her mouth.

"Senior, I still need to search for the Nine-Section Emerald, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Bai Wanwan got up and led Yang Wushuang toward the door.

Watching Bai Wanwan walk out of the courtyard, Dugu Bo slowly put down his Teacup: "Things are probably going to get turbulent lately."

Listening to Dugu Bo's mutterings, Dugu Yan's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Dugu Bo shook his head, showing no intention of saying anything more.

Three days later.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace

Study.

Xue Ye looked at the Message in his hand, then slammed his hand on the table in front of him, his eyes instantly turning incredibly gloomy.

Xue Haicang dead.

He died in a brothel.

The Third Prince of the empire died in such a mysterious place.

Moreover, according to the Message, the Xue Beng and the Xue Haicang went together.

"Suppress the Message for now."

Xue Ye clenched his somewhat aged hand tightly, instantly shattering the Message he was holding into dust.

"Let Prince Xue Xing bring that bastard Xue Beng into the Imperial Palace!"

"By the way, send someone to invite: His Majesty Poison Douluo, Sect Leader Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Two Princely Titles, Cang Lan Chi Yang, to come to the side hall of the Imperial Palace. I will wait for them there."

"Send Qinghe and Luochuan to the side hall as well."

Xue Ye, like an enraged Xiongshi, silently watched the guards below.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I'll go right now."

The guard rose and walked towards the door, preparing to give orders to his men to carry out the tasks assigned by Xue Ye.

Whew~

Xue Ye gently exhaled.

After calming myself down a bit, I got up and headed towards the side hall.

The King Canglan's Mansion.

Bai Wanwan, lying in the rocking chair, looked at the Ruyi Treasure Pouch that Xue Luochuan had sent, and put the pillow in her arms behind her back to make herself more comfortable.

"Tsk~"

"Xue Luochuan acted really quickly; I just wonder who he'll be cleaning up this time."

The rocking chair swayed gently, and Bai Wanwan's voice carried a touch of languidness.

"Let's wait for Message."

"If someone gets into trouble, Message should get out, and Xue Ye will probably have someone investigate."

Qian Renxue said casually, basking in the sun.

"Send people to investigate; the people Xue Ye would send are limited to just a few."

"It's either Prince Xue Xing or the Guest Elder Dugu Bo. If the person involved is of high status, they might ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or us to investigate."

Bai Wanwan leaned her body slightly and placed her legs on Qian Renxue's legs.

Qian Renxue smiled noncommittally, her fingertips gently rubbing Bai Wanwan's calves.

Bai Wanwan made no comment on Qian Renxue's actions.

In other words, it becomes second nature.

Time passed by, second by second.

About half an hour later, Shi Nian, who was in charge of guarding the gate, slowly walked over from a distance.

"Young Lady, someone from the royal family has arrived, saying they have an imperial edict from Xue Ye, requesting that you two Young Lady come to the Imperial Palace."

Shi Nian respectfully bowed.

"Knew."

"Please wait a moment while we freshen up and head to the Imperial Palace."

"Yes."

Shi Nian agreed and withdrew.

Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan, on the other hand, got up unhurriedly and walked towards the room.

An hour passed quietly.

In the front hall, the guards sent by Xue Ye to invite Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan were waiting anxiously.

Yes, he's been waiting for an hour.

He had already drunk three pots of tea served by the Maid, but Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan still hadn't come out.

"Um, why don't you go and urge them again?"

"The matter concerning His Your Majesty is extremely urgent..."

The guard looked at Shi Nian, his tone involuntarily tinged with anxiety.

"Just a moment please."

Our Young Lady should be out soon.

Shi Nian said this somewhat casually.

"All right."

The guard sighed helplessly and poured himself another cup of tea.

Half an hour later.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, the guard immediately looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan coming out, the guard immediately stood up and walked towards the two of them.

"Your Highness Canglan, Your Highness Chi Yang, let's head to the Imperial Palace now. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to His Your Majesty."

The guard bowed respectfully, but the anxiety in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Okay, let's go now."

Qian Renxue waved, summoned Moxiong and Guibao, and then left the King's Mansion with Bai Wanwan, following the guards to the Imperial Palace.

With guards leading the way, Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and the others proceeded without hindrance.

They soon arrived at a side hall of the Imperial Palace.

But when they entered the side hall, they saw Xue Ye sitting expressionlessly in the main seat, with Princes Xue Qinghe and Xue Luochuan standing on either side.

Below, Dugu Bo was half-squatting on the ground, lifting a white sheet to examine a corpse on the ground.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Prince Xue Xing, and the others stood aside, examining the corpses on the ground.

"Cang Lan and Blazing Sun King have arrived..."

Xue Ye revealed a bitter smile, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and then briefly recounted the events.

After listening to Xue Ye's account, Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue also joined in examining the corpse.

After a while.

Ning Fengzhi first turned his gaze to Xue Ye.

"Your Majesty, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not particularly skilled in the use of poison, but based on the examination just now, His Third Prince died from poisoning, specifically from food or drink that was poisoned."

"As for the bite mark on his arm, it was probably made by a snake. However, this bite mark seems more like a decoy to mislead our judgment."

Ning Fengzhi put one hand behind his back and stated his judgment.

The eyes of Xue Qinghe and Xue Luochuan, who stood on either side of Xue Ye, showed surprise and confusion almost simultaneously, but they quickly regained their composure.

Xue Ye simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, Sect Leader Ning's judgment is correct."

Dugu Bo slowly rose and looked at Xue Ye was in the main seat.
