Chapter 74 The Road to Succession is Difficult

Gong Yu did not answer, but smiled gently at the two women and skillfully took off Su Li's cloak with her fair hand.

"Are the remaining people from Miaoyin Pavilion really going to be beheaded?" Her voice carried a hint of sighing and helplessness. "His Majesty personally issued the decree; what do you think? I've already done so much to save them."

Su Li pinched her fair and delicate face. Over the past few days, the two had been communicating every night, and she had almost become his shape, except for her heart.

Gong Yu pursed her lips. She didn't believe a word this guy said. If it weren't for the beauty of the Yang Xinliu sisters and those few songstresses, she wouldn't have made a move.

Su Li patted her round, pert buttocks and casually said as she walked forward, "I'm going to wash up. You teach them the rules of the Prince's Palace."

"Yes"

Watching Su Li leave, Gong Yu finally turned her attention to a group of familiar yet unfamiliar sisters, with Xin Yang and Xin Liu eagerly crowding around.

"Sister Gongyu, Mr. Thirteen said you went missing. How did you end up here? Was it—was it this Prince Ling who kidnapped you?"

Xinliu glanced at the stern-faced guards around her and asked in a low voice.

Gong Yu smiled bitterly, took her soft hand, and said in a low voice, "This is a long story. In short, you came out of the Dali Temple prison today and entered this place. You have to abide by the rules here. Don't think too much about the Miaoyin Pavilion."

Xinliu wanted to ask something else, but Xinyang nodded cleverly: "We'll still do what you say, sister, just like before."

"That's good. Come on, you've just come out of prison. I've already arranged hot water for you to wash up properly, and I'll also tell you about the rules of the Ling Prince's Mansion."

When Su Li finished washing up and changed into casual clothes, the large living room was filled with fragrance and the scent of cosmetics. A group of graceful songstresses, draped in light gauze and with delicate figures, stood before her like concubines being chosen.

The sisters Xin Yang and Xin Liu may not be stunningly beautiful, but they have decent figures and faces, and the added advantage of being sisters.

A pretty face with light makeup, a curvaceous figure, slender legs under a light veil, and perfectly placed headlights.

The older sister is wearing a black sheer dress, and the younger sister is wearing white—very stylish!

Su Li hugged Gong Yu without any hesitation, sat down at the dining table in the car, and gestured with her eyes to the songstresses around her to bring her food.

The two sisters were very proactive, serving food, wine, and wiping mouths with their delicate hands, while a stunning beauty warmed their bodies in their arms.

His life as a prince was so comfortable and decadent!

"Take a sip and feed it to me." Su Li picked up a glass of wine and brought it to the lips of the beauty in her arms.

Gong Yu opened her cherry lips, glanced at her sister next to her, and then held the wine in her mouth and offered it to her.

Her pretty face was flushed red. Although she usually had a lot of fun, she had always been pure and innocent in front of these familiar female friends.

Now—it's too painful to look back on!

After dinner, Su Li naturally took Gong Yu to do some exercise that was good for her body and mind.

Only after the other party was exhausted did he call in the sisters, Xin Yang and Xin Liu.

So what if it's the first time we've met? He's a prince, a nobleman, and it's already a blessing that he can even communicate with them.

This is the ancient life of Shangxia Zun—I love it!

For the next two days, Su Li enjoyed the pleasures of having multiple wives in the palace, and gave these girls a good lesson in modern fun activities—parties, banquets, and the like.

"Your Highness, we have received intelligence from the Green Robe Tower that Mei Changsu has summoned Zhen Ping and others to Jinling. They will likely intercept the Miaoyin Pavilion group before they enter the execution ground."

Su Li, with her arms around Xin Yang and Xin Liu, enjoying their service, lazily waved her hand, and her guards immediately withdrew.

He had already made all the arrangements; whether the kidnapping succeeded or not, those who deserved to die would die.

Meanwhile, in the Dali Temple prison, several streets away from the Prince's Mansion, a group of prisoners were being escorted onto prison vans and headed to the execution ground.

As they passed a vegetable market, countless assassins in black suddenly appeared from all sides. Led by Zhen Ping, a master swordsman, they killed or wounded most of the guards who hadn't had time to react in almost a single encounter.

"Everyone, hurry up and save them first."

With a single sword stroke, Zhen Ping severed the chains of the prison cart. He reached out to help the battered and bruised Thirteenth Master down, before he could even ask a question.

The latter turned pale, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and collapsed weakly into his arms.

"Mr. Thirteen, what's wrong with you?"

Thirteen gripped his sleeve tightly and said weakly, "Someone has poisoned our food. They are very likely the mastermind behind the repeated setbacks to our plans. Please—please, Sect Master, be careful."

After uttering his last words, he tilted his head to the side and died completely.

Not only Mr. Thirteen, but all the other prisoners in the prison carts died, vomiting black blood.

"ah----"

With a roar, Zhen Ping picked up Mr. Gan San, said "Let's go," and then disappeared with a large group of people before the patrol battalion arrived.

After changing his clothes, Zhen Ping reappeared before Mei Changsu, kneeling on one knee and sobbing uncontrollably: "The Thirteenth Master died after leaving behind his last words. Who is the mastermind behind this, Sect Leader? I want to avenge the Thirteenth Master."

Mei Changsu's pale face grew even paler. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "You all find a place to hide for a while. Once this matter has calmed down, I will go see him in person."

"Yes, Sect Master, you must be careful in your actions. According to what Mr. Thirteen said, there is another hidden force in Jinling City besides the Crown Prince, Prince Yu, and us."

"I understand, you may leave."

After Zhen Ping left, Mei Changsu took out a white cloth and covered his mouth, coughing twice. The cloth was stained with blood.

"Who could be the third force? It can't be Jingyan, so it must be Prince Ling!"

The image of the Eighth Prince appeared in Mei Changsu's mind: a gentle and handsome face, and a warm and gentle demeanor with a smile.

He coughed twice more and said in a low voice, "Jingyan—your path to the throne is more difficult than I imagined."

Around the same time, Emperor Liang, deep within the palace, also heard that the prison cart had been hijacked. He was furious and slammed the memorial in front of Xie Yu.

"Is the security in Jinling really that bad? You, a first-rank noble, can't even guard against some petty thieves. If even Jinling City isn't safe, tell me, where else can you find safety?"

Xie Yu's expression remained unchanged as he lay on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the perpetrators of this operation are most likely the Jiangzuo Alliance from the martial arts world. This sect has many martial arts masters, and the guards from the Dali Temple alone would definitely not be able to stop them from kidnapping people."

Your Majesty, I request that Your Majesty issue an edict defining this incident of the Jiangzuo Alliance as an act of treason, and directly dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress it.

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu immediately retorted, "Insolence! Lord Xie, do not speak nonsense and make baseless accusations. The ones who ambushed and killed the prison cart were clearly defectors from the Jiangzuo Alliance. Their purpose was to incite discord between the court and the Jiangzuo Alliance."

The Crown Prince stepped forward and added fuel to the fire, saying, "You think you can just defect like that? I think it's clearly a smokescreen. These rebellious officials dare to commit violence on the streets of Jinling. They clearly don't respect the Emperor and the court. They must be killed as an example to others."

Prince Yu sneered: "Kill again? Your Highness, do you enjoy killing so much? As far as I know, before that group of people broke into the prison cart, all the people from Miaoyin Pavilion were fed a deadly poison. They died from the poison before they even reached the execution ground. I think this was definitely done by your people."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince flew into a rage: "Xiao Jinghuan, don't try to pin everything on me!"
