“Ninth brother, I know that you have been wronged in this matter. Did the Grand Tutor omit anything or make any mistakes in what he just said?”

Grand Tutor Zhang Ze sneered.

"Your Highness, the so-called evidence is not singular. I have already presented all the clues to His Majesty, but the real evidence still needs to be investigated in detail by the Court of Judicial Review. If Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia has been wronged, he can explain himself."

The crowd fell silent again, clearly wanting to avoid this kind of struggle between imperial heirs.

Emperor Mingde raised his hand and gently tapped the dragon table, breaking the silence in the hall.

"My dear ministers, this matter cannot be concluded based on a single word or phrase."

“There is preliminary evidence to support Zhang Aiqing’s claim. Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia, ​​if you are innocent, I will surely clear your name.”

"But if this is true, I will punish him severely. I hereby hand this matter over to the Court of Judicial Review for a thorough investigation."

Seeing Emperor Mingde's resolute attitude, the Second Prince Xiao Chong's eyes flashed with worry.

It was common knowledge in the court that the Ninth Prince had met with Anhe and impersonated the Sixth Prince, Xiao Chuhe.

If this matter is indeed handed over to the Dali Temple, then the Ninth Prince's guilt will be established as a fact, and the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu will return to the court.

······Requesting flowers······

"Father, the target of this assassination attempt was your son, so I wish to investigate this matter personally, with the assistance of the Dali Temple. I also hope to find out who is trying to assassinate me."

"Your Highness, although you are the victim in this incident, the Dali Temple was established to ensure the impartiality of the investigation. If you interfere, things may not go smoothly."

After hearing what the Second Prince Xiao Chong said, Grand Tutor Zhang Ze knew that the Second Prince was planning to use his status as a victim to help the Ninth Prince escape.

But now that this matter is settled, how could the Second Prince be allowed to turn the tables so easily?

Emperor Mingde pondered for a moment, clearly puzzled by the suggestion of the Second Prince Xiao Chong.

He also understood that the intervention of the Dali Temple might be able to better control the development of the situation.

Emperor Mingde finally nodded.

"In that case, I agree with what the Second Prince Xiao Chong said. For the time being, the Dali Temple and the Second Prince Xiao Chong will cooperate in the investigation. However, since this matter involves a prince, we must ensure fairness and transparency during the investigation."

"Today's court session is adjourned for now. I order the Court of Judicial Review to complete its investigation within three days and submit a detailed report. If the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia is indeed wronged, his name will surely be cleared; if he is guilty, he will be severely punished according to the law." Emperor Mingde's tone was resolute, his voice like a declaration.

With the Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan announcing the end of the court session, all the officials withdrew.

"Second brother, the day you returned to Tianqi, I told you that the assassination attempt on you had nothing to do with me."

“Sometimes, you can’t trust everyone around you. Didn’t your own brother try to assassinate you?”

Red King Xiao Yu walked to White King Xiao Chong's side, made a sarcastic remark, and then walked out of the palace.

........................

The White King suppressed his anger and looked in the direction of the Dali Temple. Just now in the court, the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia had been forcibly taken away and imprisoned by the people of the Dali Temple.

Although his father had allowed him to serve as the presiding judge, the Dali Temple was, after all, just a jury, and Emperor Mingde's move was likely an attempt to control the course of events.

But it seems unlikely that Lao Jiu's crimes can be overturned.

Although he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Bai Wang Xiao Chong still felt a sense of oppression in his heart. He had originally kicked Chi Wang out of the game, but he did not expect that Lao Jiu would be such a variable, allowing him to turn the tide.

At this moment, Qin Yu also arrived in Wushuang City.

Holding the invitation card, Qin Yu entered the council hall of Wushuang City.

Looking up, one could see a child of about twelve or thirteen years old sitting in the main seat, with a young man in his twenties standing beside him.

"What about the hospitality of your Peerless City?"

"I am a messenger of His Highness the White King, here to discuss cooperation with your city lord. Why has your city lord not yet appeared?"

"Could it be that your Peerless City doesn't respect His Highness the White King?"

Qin Yu asked, dissatisfied.

"this?"

Wushuang glanced at her senior brother Lu Yuzhai beside her.

"Am I already sitting here?"

Upon hearing Wushuang's words, Qin Yu's face was filled with shock.

"What? You child are actually the city lord of Wushuang City?"

"Isn't Song Yan Hui the city lord of Wushuang City?"

Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

After listening to Qin Yu's words, Wu Shuang smiled faintly, then disappeared and reappeared standing in front of Qin Yu.

"I am Wushuang, the new city lord of Wushuang City."

With his arms crossed over his chest, Wushuang spoke arrogantly.

"You must be Qin Yu, the grand-nephew of the world's number one demonic swordsman that Mr. Ling mentioned. And you seem to be His Highness the White King's top advisor now?"

After hearing Wushuang's words, Qin Yu was a little shocked, but he quickly composed himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Qin Yu."

Sichuan, the Five Poisons Sect.

I've been lying in the Five Poisons Sect for a month now, even though it's raining.

He gazed at the purple-clad woman in his arms.

On rainy days, I feel like the last crack in my heart has been repaired.

"Purple Robe, do you regret it? If you hadn't met me in the Tang Clan more than ten years ago, you probably wouldn't be troubled by love for so long now."

Rainy Day asked with a smile.

"No regrets. My man is the best in the world. If I hadn't met you back then, perhaps I wouldn't be troubled by love. But although I have regrets now, at least I am happy."

Purple-clad nestled in Rainy Day's arms and spoke gently.

"I'm leaving."

Rainy Day said casually.

Would you like to leave with me?

Hearing Yu Tian's tender words, Zi Yi fell silent.

"The Five Poisons Sect was passed down to me by my master. I promised my master that I would protect the Five Poisons Sect forever. I can't leave with you in the rain, but I will wait for you here forever."

Purple-clad's eyes filled with tears as she spoke with reluctance.

“Alright, I had already anticipated this outcome when I came, so I was prepared. Ziyi, if you need my help, just take this jade flute and call me from the mountaintop.”

After Yu Tian finished speaking, he took out a jade flute from the side and handed it to Zi Yi.

"it is good."

The woman in purple took the jade flute, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Then another major battle ensued.

One month later.

Qin Yu returned to Tianqi City.

Upon entering the White King's residence, a steward informed Qin Yu that the White King was waiting for him in his study.

Chapter 121: The Peerless Sword Immortal Li Hanyi

"Your Highness."

Qin Yu bowed respectfully.

When Bai Wang saw Xiao Chong, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He quickly ran from behind the desk to Qin Yu's side and helped him up.

"Brother Qin, you've had a long journey. How did your trip to Wushuang City go?"

Looking at Bai Wang's expectant eyes, Qin Yu said excitedly.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

"Your Highness, I originally thought I would meet those old guys when I went to Wushuang City, but I didn't expect to meet a new city lord who is only twelve or thirteen years old."

After hearing Qin Yu's words, Bai Wang's curiosity was piqued.

"Oh? Who did you meet on your trip to Wushuang City?"

The White King asked curiously.

"What I met was a new city lord who seemed to have a bad memory, but I felt that this new city lord was much more difficult to deal with than those five old guys from Wushuang City."

“I was worried that they might be difficult to control in the early stages, so I didn’t involve them in this battle with the Red King.”

The White King looked at Qin Yu, then burst into laughter.

"In chess, one must have a backup plan. Brother Qin, you're using Wushuang City as a backup plan."

Seeing that Bai Wang had spoken his mind directly, Qin Yu no longer concealed his thoughts.

“That’s right, Your Highness. Wushuang City is the backup plan I found for us.”
