292 Chen Xin's SuspicionXue Xing would definitely not keep those two guys who were more likely to cause trouble than to help, so he arranged for two Soul Saint guards to secretly take them out of the city and execute them.
"Uncle, my father will definitely know about this. What should I do?" Xue Beng looked as pale as death.
Not only does he not have Dugu Bo's support, but he will be in big trouble if Xue Qinghe attacks him with this matter.
He no longer aspires to be the emperor, he just hopes to get through this.
Xue Xing had no reason to rebuke Xue Beng. If it wasn't for his idea, this favor wouldn't have been wasted. But if Xue Beng had been patient, he wouldn't have caused what happened today.
Blaming each other would not change the facts. With a long sigh, he said, "Beng'er, you should stay in my palace for the next few days. If my brother does not choose to pursue the matter, this matter will soon be over."
Xue Beng lowered his head, like a deflated ball, and muttered quietly: "Uncle, if my eldest brother makes trouble about this, I'm afraid I can only go to the fiefdom."
Xue Xing was stunned for a moment and did not answer him.
Xue Qinghe must have spies in the city. Even if he didn't, such a big thing would definitely become the topic of conversation among the citizens after dinner. It would be hard for Xue Qinghe not to know about it.
Xue Xing frowned, feeling great pressure, "Beng'er, I will find a way to solve it. If my brother summons us, don't say anything and follow my arrangements."
"As long as you don't go to the fiefdom, given my brother's current physical condition, you still have a chance."
This opportunity does not lie with them, but with whether Xue Qinghe will encounter a major accident during his time as regent. Even if he does not make a mistake, Xue Xing will be able to make him make a mistake once the limelight has passed.
…
In the evening, Xue Qinghe's spy planted in the city informed him of the matter between Xue Xing and Dugu Bo.
Xue Qinghe put down the memorial in his hand and smiled, "Uncle, uncle, why are you so depressed?"
"Young Master, this matter can be big or small. Although Prince Xuexing has stepped forward to cover the matter, we can still report this matter to Xue Ye." She Long said with a smile, "Qitian is right. Xue Beng is a legitimate descendant after all, and there is a possibility that he will inherit the throne. This time, why don't we take the opportunity to completely abolish him."
On the way to the fiefdom, they from the Spirit Hall had plenty of opportunities to kill him on the way.
Xue Qinghe shook his head. "Xue Ye is just sick, not demented. My actions in the past few years have made him wary. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to kill Xue Beng."
After all, Xue Beng is Xue Ye's biological son. Although there is no father-son relationship in the royal family since ancient times, Xue Ye's actions over the years have secretly protected Xue Beng many times. If you want to kill Xue Beng, you can only wait until Xue Ye dies.
She Long continued, "Young Master, why don't we let someone take the blame for the avalanche? We're going to the fiefdom anyway, and we won't see him on Xue Ye's future journey."
Xue Qinghe shook his head again, "It's not that simple. I will go to the palace first and report this to Xue Ye. Let me hear his opinion on how to deal with Xue Aeng and Xue Xing."
Xue Ye is also the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, and he must handle matters involving the royal family. Moreover, this is considered a scandal.
…
Inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Ning Fengzhi called Gu Rong and Chen Xin to the meeting hall.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you also know about the avalanche?" Ning Fengzhi went straight to the point.
Gu Rong sneered, "I just found out that Xue Beng is so brainless and doesn't even clean up his mess. After this incident, he is completely ruined. A guy who does things so rashly is not worthy of competing with the prince."
Ning Fengzhi's purpose was very simple. He wanted to take this opportunity to completely suppress Xue Beng and allow Xue Qinghe to secure his position as crown prince.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has invested so much in Xue Qinghe, and now that Emperor Xue Ye is seriously ill, the day of their harvest is not far away.
As for whether Xue Ye was poisoned, they didn't care. On the contrary, they even hoped that Xue Ye would die immediately.
"Feng Zhi, I think we shouldn't act too hastily. Xue Qinghe is quite cunning, we should observe him for a while longer." Chen Xin stroked his beard and reminded him.
"Coward, what is there to investigate? Crown Prince Xue Qinghe worshipped Feng Zhi as his teacher a long time ago. In terms of understanding of him, Feng Zhi is second to none. Who dares to claim to be first?" Gu Rong was straightforward and responded immediately.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong were not born as disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but they were the defenders of the sect's interests. Ning Fengzhi did not think that Chen Xin was making up stories out of nothing, so he asked, "Uncle Jian, have you discovered anything?"
Chen Xin thought for a while and expressed his doubts, "Feng Zhi, I don't know how much power Xue Ye has given to the prince. But the style of the Spirit Hall in the Tiandou Empire is obviously unusual."
"In the current Xingluo Empire, Davis does not have a regent, but under his control, the Spirit Hall's deployment in the Xingluo Empire has to shrink."
After leaving Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai did return to the Xingluo Empire to inherit the throne of the crown prince. However, Davis was quite active in the court and was chasing him down.
Dai Tianfeng learned about the Soul Master Competition and invalidated Dai Mubai's victory, requiring them to take the written test again after they reach adulthood.
However, Zhu Zhuqing had already left him, and he had no chance of winning against the Davis couple alone. In the end, Dai Mubai took advantage of the slackness of the palace guards and escaped again.
Ning Fengzhi replied: "Uncle Jian, the national conditions of the Xingdou Empire are very different from those of the Tiandou Empire. We cannot doubt Qinghe just for this reason."
Choosing to support the crown prince Xue Qinghe was his decision as the sect leader. If he regretted it now, not only would the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect suffer huge losses, but it would also damage his prestige as the sect leader.
Ning Fengzhi certainly didn't want to believe that there was something wrong with Xue Qinghe. He just felt that Chen Xin was being too vigilant.
"Coward, do you think that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has joined the Spirit Hall?" Gu Rong laughed and said, "How can I say anything good about you? Xue Qinghe has long been the crown prince of the empire, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will ascend to the throne in the future. Why would he do this?"
"If Xue Beng defected to Spirit Hall, I would have some reason to believe it. As for Xue Qinghe, that is totally impossible."
Judging from the current situation, Xue Qinghe has already won the competition for the throne. He is sure to win, so why would he need to rely on the power of the Spirit Hall? Besides, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has a lot of influence, so why would Xue Qinghe go far away?
Chen Xin shrugged, "What I said was just a guess. It won't do any harm to the sect if you are more careful."
"Uncle Jian is also considering the sect, Ning completely understands." Ning Fengzhi looked at Gu Rong, "Uncle Gu, please come with me to the palace later. This matter needs to be reported to His Majesty."
"It's time for His Majesty to take care of Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng." (End of this chapter)
