Inside the royal study room, the emperor was sitting on a chair with a gloomy expression.

"Your majesty, should we capture Wen Yahan now?"

Eunuch Li saw that the emperor's expression was extremely ugly and he braced himself to ask carefully.

When the emperor heard what he said, he sighed lightly. A sense of coldness quickly flashed across his face before a trace of resolution flashed in his eyes.

"Did that palace maid confess?"

Slightly pressing his forehead, the emperor's expression turned increasingly solemn.

Hearing this, Eunuch Li's expression changed slightly. He lowered his head, not daring to look straight into the emperor's face.

"That palace maid is already dead, even to the point of death, she's not willing to be pawned."

Eunuch Li's words made the emperor's face turn even uglier. There was even a hint of anger.

"Looks like he received extremely strict training. Even if he dies, he can't reveal his master." The emperor's expression was slightly complicated as he said this.

"Yes, that palace maid died from the pain."

When Eunuch Li said this, his expression became a little ugly, as if he was recalling the scene of the palace maid's death.

The king slammed the table when he heard what Ye Xiao said and spoke angrily, "This damnable mastermind actually wanted to kill me. This is such a heinous crime!"

When the Eunuch Li saw the Emperor's fury, his entire body shuddered, and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"Immediately summon the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess into the palace. Tell them that we have something urgent for them."

The emperor said coldly with his back facing Eunuch Li, his low voice carrying a large amount of killing intent.

Hearing that, the Eunuch Li turned around and left, rushing to the Duke's Mansion in a hurry.

In Qin Feng's room, Xuanyuan Zhiling was hugging Qin Feng's shoulders, his mouth was close to her ear and warm air was hitting her skin.

"What do you want to do now?"

Qin Feng coldly replied. In the face of Xuanyuan Zhiling's gentleness and teasing, he did not cooperate at all.

"You're not obedient again. It seems that I still haven't taught you well."

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed softly, a trace of coldness appearing on his face.

"Do I, Qin Feng, need your guidance?"

Qin Feng turned around and met Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes. When their four eyes met, they both froze for a moment.

"You're my woman, and I'm not going to teach you. Don't tell me I'm going to let that blind Xiao Chenfeng teach you a lesson?!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said as he gritted his teeth. He suddenly thought of the man that made him extremely unhappy.

Qin Feng's expression slightly changed, and her voice revealed a clear coldness.

"It's because your standards are too small. I don't have anything to do with him."

As he said that, Qin Feng's eyes was filled with determination, and his face became gloomy.

Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly pinched Qin Feng's chin, he pinched himself in front of and smacked his lips.

"Did he kiss you on the lips? Don't tell me the truth. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it and run to kill him."

At this point in time, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face had already darkened to the extreme.

Qin Feng was suddenly stumped for words, because she suddenly realized that Xuanyuan Zhiling cared for her so much.

"Do you really care so much about me? What would you do if I went off with another man? "

For some reason, Qin Feng suddenly asked a question that she once thought was stupid.

"I have to find you no matter where I go, and …"

Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly stopped talking, and looked deeply at Qin Feng's handsome little face. That small face was filled with suspicion, and it was completely not as cold as usual.

"What else?"

Qin Feng tilted her head and asked curiously, her eyes moist.

"Also, I want to tear that man into a thousand pieces!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said without hesitation, as if he was trying to scare Qin Feng.

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng only sneered and shifted her gaze away from Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Knock knock knock. The sound of knocking on the door rang out, and Qin Feng dodged to the side with a step forward. Seeing Qin Feng's somewhat embarrassed look, Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed softly.

"My prince, my princess, the palace's Eunuch Li has come. He said that he has urgent business with my prince and my princess."

Qin Chen's voice came from outside the door, and upon hearing it, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng did not seem the least bit surprised.

"Alright, arrange for Eunuch Li to wait in the hall, we'll be there shortly."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, his expression suddenly became cold and he tidied his clothes.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling brought Qin Feng to the great hall, Eunuch Li was standing there anxiously, pacing back and forth.

"Fourth King, you're finally here. The emperor is summoning you and Princess Hua-Yang to the palace right now."

When the Eunuch Li spoke, he was so anxious that he wanted to immediately drag Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng into the Imperial Palace.

"What happened?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked indifferently, but he and Qin Feng were already well aware of the situation.

Eunuch Li sighed, and told everything to Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Then did the father say why he summoned us?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, and from time to time he would slightly frown.

Eunuch Li sighed and shook his head.

"Fourth King, this old servant cannot say. He needs you to meet His Majesty personally and the Emperor himself to tell you."

At this point in time, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng did not dare to delay any longer and directly followed the Eunuch Li into the Imperial Palace.

"Fourth King, don't blame this old servant for speaking too much. The emperor is in a very bad mood, you should be more careful with your words."

Eunuch Li had served the emperor for many years, so he naturally knew his personality and temper like the back of his hand.

Thank you, Eunuch Li, for your reminder.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he was already hugging onto Qin Feng's shoulders tightly.

Qin Feng did not reject, and followed Xuanyuan Zhiling into the Emperor's study.

Inside the Emperor's imperial study, the Emperor was facing Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth King and the Fourth King are here."

Eunuch Li said carefully. He lowered his head and did not dare to say much, because he knew that the emperor was angry at the moment.

The emperor sighed deeply and turned to look at Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng.

"The murderer has been apprehended. It is a palace maid."

Before Xuanyuan Zhiling came over, he had been thinking of a suitable countermeasure in his mind.

"father, just who harmed you?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling revealed an extremely nervous and furious expression, as if he really didn't know anything. Qin Feng, who was standing at the side, suddenly felt that the man in front of him was so unfamiliar.

"It's the palace maid in Wen Yahan's room, she's unwilling to be pawned even to her death."

The emperor had a serious expression when he said this, and a trace of coldness quickly flashed across his face.

"It seems that they have gone through very strict training."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said thoughtfully, as if he had never heard of this matter.

The emperor nodded, and his expression became even more serious.

"father, how can we help you?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said worriedly, and turned to look at Qin Feng who was standing beside him.

The Emperor sighed lightly and said indifferently, "The reason the father has come to find you is because of this matter. I wonder if you have any good countermeasures?"

"father, I do have a way, but I need to make you suffer for a while."

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng, and confirmed with a nod of her head, before Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke slowly.

The Emperor pondered for a moment, then a trace of determination appeared in his eyes.

"As long as we can find evidence, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little."

When the Emperor said this, he turned and looked at Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng.

After Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the emperor's words, he walked over to the emperor's side and whispered.

When the Emperor heard what he said, he smiled indifferently and had a complicated expression on his face.

"father, I wonder if this son is satisfied with his idea."

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked carefully, but his eyes were unperturbed. He was obviously very confident in this idea, because he knew that the emperor had no other way.

"Looks like this is the only way. I will capture all of these fellows in one fell swoop!"

A trace of determination and viciousness flashed across the emperor's face.

"Qin Feng, prepare the ingredients for the father. Only then will our plan be completed."

Thus, Qin Feng walked in front of the emperor, took out a pill from her own pocket and placed it in the emperor's hands.

"This is …"

The emperor looked at the little pill in his hand and frowned as he stared at Qin Feng with doubt in her eyes.

"This is a Hundred Melting Pill. If you eat it, you can create an illusion that others will think you are seriously ill."

Qin Feng said indifferently, as she looked at the emperor with assured eyes.

Hearing that, the emperor nodded slightly. He raised his head with a frown and swallowed the pill in his hand.

"Your majesty, your majesty, how do you feel?"

When the Eunuch Li saw the emperor swallow the pill, he looked at the emperor's face with concern.

When the Emperor heard this, he shook his head with a serious expression. After a short while, his face turned deathly pale.

Seeing that, the Eunuch Li immediately supported the Emperor onto the Dragon Couch and ordered for the Emperor to be returned to his room.

"Qin Feng, how long can this pill last?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked indifferently, but he was actually not worried at all, because taking care of that group of fellows only needed a short while.

"antidote are just water. As long as you don't drink it, it will continue to produce this kind of illusion."

Qin Feng said indifferently, not even sparing Xuanyuan Zhiling a glance.

"Hmph, your medicine has come in handy this time."

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he was already holding Qin Feng in his arms. Qin Feng could not help but glare at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"You should think about how to deal with Xuanyuan Mocheng and Wen Yahan in a while."

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed blandly, a complicated expression quickly flashing across his face.

"Don't worry, they have long been caught in a trap."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he held onto Qin Feng's hand tightly, bringing Qin Feng out of the Emperor's study, and followed the Emperor's footsteps until she arrived at the Emperor's bedchamber.

"father, how are you feeling right now?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling stood by the emperor's bedside, looking at the emperor who had turned pale after eating a Hundred Melting Pill, with a depressed and pained expression on his face.

When the Emperor heard this, he smiled and said, "Your father isn't that old. Don't worry."

Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded his head, and said to the emperor respectfully: "father, after everything is over, you just need to drink some water to cure the poison."

Hearing that, the emperor nodded, and so Xuanyuan Zhiling turned to look at Eunuch Li, who seemed to have understood something, and followed suit and nodded.

When the news spread out, the entire imperial court was shocked. The emperor was about to pass away from illness.

"What happened to father?"

Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Yufeng asked with a gloomy face. He had been worried about father's safety the entire time.

"Five Emperors, who do you think the father will leave the throne to this time?"

Xuanyuan Mocheng had a complicated look on his face when he said this, but the pleased look on his face made Xuanyuan Yufeng feel uncomfortable.

"Second brother, how do you know that father will die this time?"

Xuanyuan Yufeng frowned slightly, and the eyes he looked at Xuanyuan Mocheng with also carried traces of panic.

"Eunuch Li has already sent out the message, and father has already sent all of the princes to attend the bedchamber. This proves that father is very clear on his own situation."

Although Xuanyuan Mocheng did not laugh out loud when he said this, he did not reveal any expression of worry.

"Hmph, I have no way of determining who father wants to pass the throne to, but I know that the heavens will not misjudge me, and even more so, the father will not misjudge me."

Hearing that there was something wrong with Xuanyuan Yufeng's tone, Xuanyuan Mocheng did not continue speaking.

"All the princes are here, your majesty."

Eunuch Li whispered into the ear of the emperor, carefully speaking as if the emperor was really in danger.
