Volume 1, Chapter 64: The Crown Prince Ordered Her to Poison the Eldest Brother

Xie Qiqi spent a few days in anxiety and apprehension, yet the Crown Prince made no further moves.

She consoled herself with the thought that perhaps, as long as she remained silent, the Crown Prince would not take action against the Xie family.

After all, the Crown Prince still heavily relied on her father and eldest brother.

Xie Qiqi realized she had not gone to study medicine with her master for quite some time.

Seeing that all was calm and peaceful, she took advantage of a moment when no one was watching to tie a silk ribbon onto a tree branch.

This was the prearranged signal with Moyuan, indicating that he could come to pick her up that night to resume her medical studies.

After relinquishing the position of family head, he entered a state of seclusion and had not appeared for twenty full years.

The member of the Yu clan was young and gentle-mannered, always referring to themselves simply as "I" when addressing the ministers at court. Yet this time, the use of the imperial title "This Palace" showed just how truly angry they were.

Helen's probing question left Fox completely speechless. Since the princess herself had spoken thus, he could no longer continue to shield him, and had no choice but to nod repeatedly and admit his wrongdoing.

The imperial court could announce at an opportune moment: "Because gold was substituted as an official reward, the circulation of gold increased. Furthermore, it was discovered that some recipients, upon receiving the gold, dumped large quantities of it on the market at black-market rates to exchange for copper coins and silver, resulting in a severe shortage of copper and silver."

The fact that she had gathered these several hundred people here today was entirely due to her command; otherwise, it would have been utterly impossible to muster such a crowd in so short a time.

Yang Chen looked it over and felt that, although this research institute's covert human experimentation was revolting, shifting their research focus might yield unexpected gains.

Nearby stood another machine similarly constructed from iron rods, though lacking an ox. Instead, it featured an oddly shaped iron stove that roared as it billowed steam, the firewood blazing fiercely beneath it.

Wuchu took out several hundred more gemstone pieces, scavenged from the obscure corners of the divine palace, every single one a rare and precious spiritual treasure.

He recalled the remark Huo Lanyan had just made at the doorway, and a flicker of ominous forethought crossed his mind.

A continuous stream of spiritual energy surged into the purple-gold sable's mouth as it gradually absorbed the spiritual Qi of the Seven-Star Vein-Sealing Nails.

A surge of excitement rippled through the leering man as he led Lu Feiyang slowly inside, while the killing intent in his heart began to mount steadily.

Wang Biao held Sophie in his arms as they rode upon the back of Victorite, the group pressing on toward the edge of space and time under Brett's guidance.

Hearing Qin Hu mention the Ancient Divine Temple, Lin Xifan straightened his posture, showing an expression of intense focus.

"Pervert!" Suoros was referring to Xu Zhe. Considering Suoros was a six-star Source Warrior who had failed to shatter the hard shell on Bai Susu's body, Xu Zhe, a mere four-star Source Warrior, had actually managed to do it.

"Alright, I see your old habits have flared up again!" Xue Lin laughed heartily, then spoke in a calm tone.

"What happened?" Lu Feiyang felt that if Chen Yi were to die now, many leads would become untraceable! "A superpower user pierced his throat," Zhang Yang explained simply.

Just as Yang Hao and the others were about to heave a sigh of relief, a hunchbacked elder atop the distant city tower flew toward the formation, accompanied by several others.

However, if this could be sustained indefinitely, that wouldn't be bad either. Yet later on, the Heavenly Emperor suffered severe wounds and went to heal in a hidden place within the heavenly palace, his exact whereabouts known to none. He had not shown himself for tens of thousands of years. Later, rumors circulated that the Heavenly Emperor's injuries were extremely grave and that he had fallen into a deep slumber.

"Lu Feiyang, low-level player, I will kill you." Sissa's tone carried no emotion whatsoever, making him look just like a ruthless dragon slayer.

Regrettably, however, Gale's calculations had failed. Wang Biao's formidable strength far exceeded his imagination. At this moment, Wang Biao's true might was probably in no way inferior to that of an ordinary superior deity. His battle with the Heavenly Emperor had given him profound insights, and his strength had grown considerably.

Yue Ling'er had not expected that the news would already be spreading everywhere throughout the city. This way, perhaps she wouldn't need to expend so much effort after all.
