Heaven Scheme Palace

As the date of the wedding approached, the smile on Dan Qing Han's face became brighter and brighter. The servants seemed to become more cheerful along with her good mood, and were becoming more and more active in things. The entire Dai Residence was brimming with enthusiasm, especially Zhao Xi, who was meticulously preparing the necessary items for the wedding day and did not dare to dally at all.

On this day, Dan Qing Han was quietly sitting in front of her desk as she flipped through the《 Classic of Poetry》.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Dan Qing Han raised her head in shock, only to see Zhao Xi rushing in like a gust of wind, her face was filled with grief, and she asked: "What's wrong, you're so rash."

Zhao Xi stood in front of him, facing Dan Qing Han, as his tears flowed down, "King Yu is dead."

When Dan Qing Han heard this, distrust filled her eyes. She repeated asked: "You said King Yu Ling Tianxiang?"

Zhao Xi nodded his head. She had been in the Prince Yu's Mansion for a few years and at least had some feelings of master and servant.

"Yesterday, the King Yu went to the south side of the city to hunt. King Yu could not control himself and was thrown to the ground by the horse. His ankle was wrapped by the rope and he was unable to struggle free. The horses were running too fast, and the men behind could not catch up to them at all. Therefore, King Yu was dragged around for a few miles before the horses gradually calmed down. When the guards saved King Yu, he was already covered in blood and was on the verge of death. When I went back to treat his, it was already the last breath of life left … "

Hearing Zhao Xi talk about this, Dan Qing Han's mind seemed to be able to imagine how the horses that had lost control of their own body were able to drag King Yu out of control and cause him to look like in such a miserable state. She put down the book in her hands and asked: "Why would the horses lose control?"

Zhao Xi shook his head and wiped away his tears, "The Old Master and the Madame has asked you to get ready to go to the Prince Yu's Mansion to burn incense for them.

Dan Qing Han immediately stood up and walked over to the makeup table to remove the pearl hairpin on his head. Zhao Xi then found a piece of pure and clean dress for her and changed into it.

•

The white banner outside the Prince Yu's Mansion floated about, the house was deserted, and the spirit hall was filled with wails.

Ling Xuan Su, Ling An Lan who was dressed in a white robe and white hat were kneeling beside the coffin. Just then, Pei Sheng walked into the hall and took three incense sticks and lit them up, before bowing, Ling Xuan Su suddenly stood up and rushed towards Pei Sheng.

"What qualifications do you have to come pay respects to my royal father? Once you step into this mourning hall, will you not fear your father's vengeful spirit pestering you and causing you to be unable to rest at ease day after day? " Ling Xuan Su's eyes were bloodless as he shouted at Pei Sheng.

"I have a clear conscience, why should I fear the ghosts of King Yu?" Pei Sheng looked at him coldly.

"What a clear conscience. Father's horse was clearly frightened. Clearly, it was done by your people." Ling Xuan Su berated his in front of everyone, causing everyone in the Prince Yu's Mansion to be greatly shocked.

Pei Sheng asked: "decedent said that my people did something, is there any evidence?"

Ling Xuan Su stared at Pei Sheng fiercely, but he did not say anything. He really did not have any evidence.

"You slander the imperial court officials without any evidence. If I were to go to the Emperor side, I wonder if you, as a Prince Yu's Mansion, would still be able to stand up for me?" Pei Sheng sarcastically swept his eyes over all the King Yu family members present, "On the occasion of your father's death, I shall not keep my mouth shut, and if there is the next time I am slandered, I will not forgive you."

Ling Xuan Su punched with all his might, his palm was already completely pale white, but he forced himself to calm down, and suppressed the rage that was about to explode.

Seeing how Ling Xuan Su was enduring, Pei Sheng leaned his body slightly forward, leaned right beside his ear and said with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "King Yu wants to fight with me, but he's still too tender."

When Ling Xuan Su heard this, his eyes became filled with viciousness, but the anger in his heart gradually cooled down until it reached the bottom of his heart. He used a calm and sharp gaze to look at Pei Sheng and said: "Such a good move to strike first and gain the upper hand, but do you think that if Royal Father died, the entire Prince Yu's Mansion would collapse?"

"I know that the decedent is smart and wise, but if you dare to continue investigating, I will make all of your relatives die right in front of you." Although Pei Sheng's words were low, his tone was filled with threat.

Hearing that, Ling Xuan Su laughed out arrogantly, "Originally, I was only suspecting it, but now I am certain, Pei Sheng, that you will be the victor."

With that, the two people who were originally close to Dan Lin all took a step back. Their gazes turned towards Dan Lin, and looked straight at Dan Qing Han who was silently following behind Dan Lin.

The moment Dan Qing Han stepped into the spirit hall, she immediately felt two sharp gazes. It was Pei Sheng and Ling Xuan Su, she had some doubts, but she still saluted and burnt the incense, then bowed respectfully three times in front of the coffin.

Dan Lin walked in front of Ling Xuan Su and said with regret: "decedent, don't be sad."

However, Ling Xuan Su didn't appreciate his gesture at all, as he indifferently swept his eyes across him. "We've long since become people of the same caliber, why would we need to come here to act hypocritically?"

However, Dan Lin did not get angry, and only said: "Even if they each have their own master, I have known the King Yu for many years, so I should come to pay my respects."

Ling Xuan Su let out a light snort, full of disdain. He turned around and kneeled down, and continued to throw the paper money into the pot to burn. The firelight illuminated his ice-cold face, faintly revealing a sense of sadness and loneliness.

Dan Qing Han understood the pain in her heart right now, just like when the Yao Family was exterminated.

She slowly walked forward, knelt in front of Ling Xuan Su, took out some paper money and started burning it in the brazier, "decedent, the dead are already dead, King Yu would not wish to see you like this."

Ling Xuan Su did not look at her, and continued to throw paper money into the brazier, ignoring her words.

"Little Qing, let's go." Pei Sheng's voice sounded from behind her, and after a slight hesitation, she got up and left.

After exiting the Prince Yu's Mansion, the sky turned dark. Dan Lin saw that the two of them seemed to have something to say, so he took the lead to return home, leaving Pei Sheng and Dan Qing Han alone on the streets.

They didn't speak to each other, only strolling along the bustling streets. The lanterns were bright, and the voices of children were laughter. However, when everyone heard them, they could hear how desolate they were.

"Stay away from Ling Xuan Su in the future." Pei Sheng suddenly said, his tone carrying an unspeakable power.

Dan Qing Han looked at him in shock, "Why?"

Pei Sheng replied: "Not the good type."

Only then did Dan Qing Han notice the gloominess on Pei Sheng's face, and asked: Before we entered the spirit hall, I saw you and Ling Xuan Su whispering to each other, what were you talking about?

Pei Sheng did not answer her.

Dan Qing Han suddenly stopped and asked again: "Is the death of the King Yu related to you?"

Pei Sheng still did not answer her, his face as cold as ice.

"A Sheng, did you do it?" Dan Qing Han, however, refused to give up and continued to ask. She had to get an answer in return.

Seeing her determined expression, Pei Sheng finally answered indifferently, "Yes."

Dan Qing Han was startled, so it was really Pei Sheng who sent someone to do this. She suddenly recalled how Ling Xuan Su treated her coldly, and her heart suddenly became complicated, saying in a low voice: "You go back to the residence first, I'll make a trip to Prince Yu's Mansion."

Pei Sheng did not stop her, he only stood at her original position proudly, looking at her figure that was flying at a fast speed, his sharp eyebrows slightly knitted.
