The winter sun peeks through the clouds, but it still has trouble melting the snow.
In Prince Gong's palace, a group of servants were busy cleaning the courtyard. They shoveled all the snow on the bluestone floor into the flowerbed and tree pits to make the road clean and slippery.
A few naughty servants took advantage of the fact that the masters of the palace were taking a nap and the patrolling guards were also taking a nap, so they quietly kneaded snowballs and started a snowball fight, having a great time.
The strict discipline in the palace of Prince Gong, a dignified prince, is inferior to that of ordinary aristocratic families.
This is all because of deeds: Prince Gong is lazy and lazy, and the people in his house have no discipline at all.
Perhaps it was this reason that allowed him, an idle prince, to enjoy his old age peacefully under Xia Yuanlong's nose. Otherwise, which emperor would allow a prince to "sleep with the dragon" and live in the imperial capital?
Speaking of which, Prince Gong is also a weirdo. He is an old dandy, not to mention fond of wine and sex. This guy is also extremely lazy and greedy for money, extremely greedy for money!
How greedy is he?
I remember that when Xia Yuanlong first ascended the throne, he wanted to give Prince Gong a first-class city to manage.
As a result, this shameless old man actually said with disgust in front of all the civil and military officials and the King of Great Xia: "Well... it's so troublesome to manage the city! Your Majesty, please spare me."
"It's better... you exchange the city you gave me for gold coins and Five Elements Spiritual Stones, hehehe..."
As a result, Xia Yuanlong scolded Prince Gong for "what a shame" on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.
For the king of a country, a person who is greedy for money is much easier to control than a person who is greedy for power, especially when this person still has royal blood flowing in his body.
Xia Yuanlong did not want a second "Huainan King" to appear under his rule.
Because of this, although Prince Gong had constant minor problems over the years, Xia Yuanlong always turned a blind eye to them.
At this moment, in the main hall of Prince Gong's mansion, the doors and windows were closed.
An old man wearing gold and silver and a gorgeous robe sat in front of the clear jade table, holding a gold foil album in his withered hands and caressing it slowly.
He is the owner of the entire palace: Prince Gong!
The old man's eyes were burning as he stared at the gold foil album in his hand and said to himself: "Hey hey hey hey, I have endured it for so many years. I am greedy for money, a playboy, and the reputation of being disrespectful has spread to every corner of the capital. I am full of it.
Criticized!"
"All this is for you!"
He was actually "chatting" with the book in his hand, and he was chatting happily: "Immortal Human Emperor's Technique, Immortal Human Emperor's Technique! This is at least a unique low-level spiritual technique, right?"
"Although it has no attributes, as long as there are enough Five Elements Spiritual Stones and according to the contents recorded in it, the eight extraordinary meridians can be washed at once, my profound energy cultivation will definitely increase tenfold or a hundredfold!"
"I got it fifty-six years ago. I pretended to be crazy and stupid for more than fifty years. I was greedy and scraped together, but I only managed to accumulate 80,000 kilograms of spiritual stones."
"It's good now, I finally got the opportunity! I just need Queen Fu to get me 20% of the spiritual stones in the treasury, which should be at least 100,000 kilograms!"
Speaking of this, every fiber on Prince Gong's face trembled with excitement: "Once I have collected these 180,000 kilograms, I will use the secret method in the book to become a nine-star Xuan Master, and even aspire to be the Xuan King.
It’s not a bad idea to extend your life by a hundred years.”
"Right now, Xia Yuanlong is dead, and the second prince Xia Yuan is already a thorn in Empress Fu's side, and he probably won't live much longer!"
"The King of Huainan raised the flag of rebellion again, and now he was even blamed for assassinating Xia Yuanlong. He will never expect to be recognized by the powerful officials in the court."
"As for me, I have the orthodox blood of the royal family. As long as I use a little skill and open the way with the strength of the king, with the support of all the ministers, I can squeeze out Queen Fu and secure the throne of the king. It will be a matter of course, hahahahaha
…”
It turns out that this old guy's "old dandy, greedy for money" demeanor was completely disguised.
Others only thought that he was greedy for money, but they never thought that in the final analysis, he wanted to improve his cultivation and become famous.
If Xia Yuanlong is still there, he will try every means to become the second "Huainan King" who holds great power and rules across the river; if Xia Yuanlong passes away, he will simply replace him and become the real king!
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that among the countless relatives of the emperor and the country, you, Prince Gong, have hidden it the most!"
Suddenly, a cold voice of spiritual consciousness entered Prince Gong's mind, startling him: "Who?"
"Whoosh!"
A sudden gust of wind appeared.
By the time Prince Gong reacted, the lone Kung Fu he was holding had already fallen into the hands of another person.
This man wears a mask with a ghost face on his head and a gorgeous robe like brocade. He is Chen Shen who sneaked into the palace!
"Crack!"
While this young man grabbed the "Immortal Emperor's Art" with his left hand, he used his right hand to claw it and pinched Prince Gong's throat. If he exerted even the slightest force, the opponent would die on the spot!
"You can speak to me with your spiritual consciousness. Remember, any small move that I don't like may kill you." Chen Shen spoke again, his voice as cold as frost.
"Bold! Who are you? How dare you break into my Prince Gong's palace?" Prince Gong's lifeline was suppressed, but he refused to surrender and beg for mercy, so he shouted with the power of his spiritual consciousness rather hard-heartedly.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know about Empress Fu's regicide and her husband's death. Moreover, I also know that you also know about it and use it as a threat to profit from it, right?
"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Prince Gong was horrified.
In his previous soliloquy, he never mentioned that Xia Yuanlong was killed by Empress Fu. He never thought that the other party actually knew about it.
"Your Excellency...could it be possible that you also saw something at the banquet? What if...uhhhhh!"
Prince Gong was just about to say something to test, but he felt a lightning strike in his throat, which made him wail in pain.
If his throat hadn't been restrained, this old guy would most likely scream louder than a slaughtered pig.
In Chen Shen's eyes, the little princess was brutally murdered, and Prince Gong, who arranged to meet Queen Fu in the northwest district, also had an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, the young man would not have any compassion for him.
"Next, I ask, you answer, I say, you listen. If you dare to say any more nonsense, I will electrocute you! Do you understand?"
Chen Shen's cold voice came into his mind again, and Prince Gong suddenly trembled.
He finally realized that this guy with the grimace mask was much stronger than his own cultivation.
The other party must be at least a fourth or five-star Mystic Master. Only with one claw and one probing can he bring such majestic pressure to him.
As a result, the old man kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes...how to do it all depends on the instructions of the seniors."
