"My son, I obey!"
The prince did not dare to go against Emperor Xia's wishes!
However, he became more and more certain that Xia Tian had an affair with the Crown Princess.
Otherwise, why would Dead Old Nine go to such great lengths for that bitch and use the East Palace property in exchange for that bitch to escape from the East Palace?
When he thought of this, the prince's face turned green and he was heartbroken.
Dog men and women can never be forgiven!
At this time.
Emperor Xia seemed to have read the prince's thoughts: "Prince, this matter is over. I hope you can use your energy to learn how to deal with political affairs. Don't let me down!"
"yes!"
The prince collected his thoughts and quickly and respectfully agreed.
Emperor Xia comforted Xia Tian again and said: "Xiao Jiu, if you cancel the bet now, you will suffer the loss!"
"I will remember this and I will compensate you in the future!"
As for compensation?
Emperor Xia didn't say anything!
It could be seen that Emperor Xia was just talking. He didn't want to mention this matter of brotherly quarrel again.
Therefore, I can’t say enough good things about summer!
His will to uphold royal dignity was firm.
This is what Xia Tian expected: "Father, there is no need for this!"
"Now that the Huangzhou department store has opened, I want to return to Huangzhou as soon as possible to handle government affairs, so as to prevent those lowly people and refugees from causing trouble!"
"when are you leaving?"
"tomorrow!"
Xia Tian is very determined and does not want to get involved in the struggle in the imperial capital when the foundation is not yet stable.
"good!"
Emperor Xia agreed: "The matter of the unworthy people and refugees in the barren state is related to the stability of the court and must be dealt with properly!"
"yes!"
At this time.
"Report..."
A golden-armored guard flew into the palace: "Your Majesty, except for the two mysterious leaders of the Rebirth Cult who escaped, all the Rebirth Cultists who disrupted the imperial capital tonight have been killed!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "How could the bandit leader escape from the dragnet you set?"
The golden-armored guard said anxiously: "Just now, many masters of the Rebirth Cult emerged from the moat of the Imperial City, rescued people, jumped directly into the moat, and disappeared without a trace!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eagle eyes: "It's the imperial city moat again."
"Old man, tell Mo Huo to check carefully. You may be able to find more things in the moat!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei took the order and left.
Emperor Xia then said: "Xiaojiu stays, everyone else gets out!"
"yes!"
The prince and the golden-armored guards exited the worship hall.
at this time.
Emperor Xia took out a jade cup as big as a fist and handed over a sharp dagger. He stared at Xia Tian with sharp eyes and said, "Xiaojiu, cut your wrists and give me a cup of blood!"
Xia Tian's pupils shrank!
Suddenly, he remembered the deposed prince's emaciated face with excessive blood loss when he saw him in Huangzhou.
He didn't hesitate, took the dagger directly, opened the carpal artery, and let the blood shoot into the jade cup.
In a moment, the jade cup was filled with blood.
I saw Emperor Xia pointing his sword fingers, and his true energy spurted out, sealing Xia Tian's wrist artery. Then he took out a jade bottle, sprinkled the powder on Xia Tian's wound and said: "Your arm has twelve Don’t move the clock, otherwise, the bleeding will be difficult to stop!”
"After twelve hours, your arm will be healed!"
"As long as you don't touch the wound!"
"Go down!"
Xia Tian quickly resigned: "Yes!"
Emperor Xia wanted his blood. There was no doubt that he had bad intentions!
As for Emperor Xia sealing his arm for twelve hours, the meaning is profound.
Are you warning him not to cause trouble before leaving the imperial capital?
Still testing?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Tian's mind, and he turned around and left the hall.
at this time.
Emperor Xia's voice came: "Xiao Jiu, are you really not good at martial arts?"
Xia Tian respectfully replied: "Father, my son has a physique that is useless for martial arts. You should know this!"
"Those who say that my sons are capable of martial arts have ulterior motives!"
Emperor Xia was silent for a moment: "Back off!"
"yes!
Xia Tian left with his arms unable to move.
The prince also withdrew!
At this time, Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief!
Being able to enter the worship hall and return with only the loss of a cup of blood is already the best result.
He and the prince left the palace all the way, both of them had their own thoughts and were speechless the whole way!
It was not until the gate of the palace that the prince said with gloomy eyes: "Brother Ninth Prince, I won't send you back to the west tomorrow!"
“I wish you a safe journey and see you soon!”
The prince's words were full of murderous intent!
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Your Highness, when the eldest brother was the prince, he also said goodbye to me like this."
"Later, he became the deposed prince!"
The prince's face turned green: "Then let's wait and see!"
Finished.
The prince left with murderous intent.
Xia Tian got on the carriage without any care and returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
This matter is not over yet!
at this time.
Enshrined in the temple.
Emperor Xia closed his eyes, as if waiting for something?
Finally, a bloody figure appeared in front of him, kneeling on one knee and saying: "Master, as expected, there are countless mysterious people leaving the imperial capital at night, and our people have already followed!"
Emperor Xia's eyes burst with murderous intent: "Find their lair, snatch those nine coffins, and let me see who is in the coffins?"
"Let me see who they want to resurrect?"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards.
Emperor Xia picked up the jade cup containing Xia Tian's blood and walked into the Jixia underground palace.
He walked to the door of Jixia Underground Palace, poured the blood of summer into a mysterious place, and then stood in front of the door expectantly, as if waiting for some kind of miracle to happen?
But time passed by, and nothing happened.
Emperor Xia's eyes were full of disappointment, and he murmured: "Isn't the person in the prophecy not Xiao Jiu?"
"impossible!"
"If Xiaojiu's blood can also open this door, then whose blood can?"
"The legendary weirdo wife from Jixia Underground Palace?"
Emperor Xia fell into deep thought.
The night is getting darker and darker.
When Xia Tian returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, a mysterious man wearing a black cloak came to see him. It was Sima Jian, the Prime Minister of the Left who came quietly!
This is expected in the summer.
"Master Taishan, why are you here?"
Sima Jian's face was still hidden in his cloak: "Is there a secret room?"
Xia Tian nodded: "Study!"
Shortly after.
The study room is brightly lit with candles!
Bai Feng stood guard outside the study door, while Bai Hu sat on the roof of the study with his eyes closed, like a sculpture.
Secretly, Zang Yi led the boys with hidden swords to set up defenses around the study.
Even flies have trouble getting in and out!
In the study room.
Sima Jian finally opened his black cloak, took a sip of tea, looked at Xia Tian seriously and said: "Congratulations to the opening of Wangye's Huangzhou Department Store!"
"Tonight, the goods from Huangzhou shocked the imperial capital. From now on, there will definitely be a huge source of wealth, and it will bring endless wealth to Huangzhou!"
Xia Tian went straight to the topic: "Master Taishan, why are you here at starry night?"
Sima Jian's face turned solemn: "Prince, when will you leave?"
"tomorrow!"
"Did His Majesty agree?"
"accepted!"
Sima Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious face: "It's good to leave early!"
"I think the prince already knows what happened in the imperial capital tonight!"
"In addition to the people from the Rebirth Sect, there is also a mysterious force in the imperial capital, which is here to assassinate His Majesty."
"From now on, there will be endless bloodshed in the Imperial City, until some people are strangled. If the prince continues to stay in the Imperial City, he will easily be framed by someone with intentions, so it's better to leave early!"
"Outside the city, I bought a million catties of grain at the cheapest price outside the imperial capital. You can transport it back to Huangzhou and solve the grain shortage in Huangzhou first!"
Xia Tian said sincerely: "Thank you, Master Taishan. I will send someone to deliver the money needed for these million kilograms of food to your house!"
Sima Jian nodded: "Okay, let the people below handle it!"
"From now on, if all the gold and silver earned by Huangzhou Department Store is used to purchase food, please contact me directly!"
"good!"
There’s nothing pretentious about summer!
After saying that, Sima Jian stood up and said, "My lord, be careful on the road."
Xia Tian probed: "Master Taishan, don't you see Lan'er?"
"See!"
Sima Jian's eyes were full of farewell: "After tonight, the situation will develop in an unknown direction. After this farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again!"
Shortly after.
Xia Tian left the study, leaving the place for Sima Jian and his daughter to have a secret conversation.
He stood in the yard, looked at Sima Jian's figure on the window and murmured: "Master Taishan, who are you?"
The night continues to get deeper.
In the darkness before dawn, I can't see my fingers.
Two tall men in black took advantage of the darkness to sneak down the moat, took off their night clothes in the water and hid on the bank, revealing their dragon skins...
