The Western Continent Emperor shook his head and said, “They were not killed in the Imperial Palace. Forget it, father emperor won’t speak anymore, I am tired. Xi’er, you can leave now.”
“Alright, father emperor.”
As Yu Yunxi was about to turn and leave, Empress Liu yelled, “Stop!”
“You shameless wretch, if you don’t return, my two children were doing well, but just after your return yesterday, my child died. You are a jinx!” Empress Liu glared viciously at Yu Yunxi, screeching like a madwoman.
“I am the dignified seventh princess of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty. How could I be a shameless wretch?” Yu Yunxi’s eyes turned cold, and the next scene caught both the Western Continent Emperor and Empress Liu off guard.
“Whoosh!”
“Slap!”
Yu Yunxi’s beautiful figure flashed, and in a speed unattainable by Empress Liu, she appeared in front of Empress Liu and delivered a resounding slap to her face.
“Stumble, stumble, stumble!” Empress Liu covered her stinging cheek and stepped back three paces to steady herself, screaming, “You shameless wretch, dare to lay a hand on this empress!”
“Shut your mouth!” The Western Continent Emperor, feeling annoyed, waved his right arm and slapped Empress Liu's face.
“Liu Wenqin, remember that you are the real shameless wretch.” After transmitting her thoughts to Empress Liu, Yu Yunxi turned and stepped out of the Hall of the Supreme Emperor.
As soon as Yu Yunxi exited the hall, the voice of the Western Continent Emperor echoed, “Xi’er, has the Marquis of Divine Valor returned?”
“Father emperor, Xiao Zhang will return in a few days. If there’s nothing else, I would like to go out for a walk,” Yu Yunxi replied.
“Go ahead, go ahead.” The voice of the Western Continent Emperor resonated in the hall.
Several hours later, Yu Yunxi stepped out of the palace gates under the respectful gazes of the palace guards.
Is she leaving the Imperial Palace?
Of course, she is leaving, but not right now. The reason she is creating the illusion of leaving the palace is to fabricate an alibi.
Because tonight, she is going to kill Crown Prince Yu Cheng!
An hour later, as night deepened, in the pitch-black sky, Yu Yunxi swiftly flew into the city gates and entered the Imperial Palace.
Due to Yu Yunxi's realm being far higher than the divine soldiers guarding the palace gates, the divine soldiers had no reaction as she entered.
...
Half an hour later, in the Imperial Palace, Crown Prince Yu Cheng’s chamber.
Inside the hall, Crown Prince Yu Cheng sat alone on a golden chair, drinking wine and reflecting on the deaths of the Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince. He merely sighed, showing no signs of sadness.
In his heart, it was true that they were his biological brothers, but it was also possible that they would one day compete for the throne against him.
“Crown Prince brother, what a fine mood you have. The Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince are dead, and you still have the heart to drink wine.”
A cold female voice sounded from outside the hall, and then Yu Yunxi elegantly stepped into the hall.
“Buzz—”
“Bang!”
With a gentle sweep of her jade arm, the hall doors closed.
“Seventh Royal Sister, what brings you to look for me so late?” Yu Cheng said indifferently, ignoring Yu Yunxi.
“Of course, I have urgent matters to discuss; otherwise, why would I come to find Crown Prince brother at this hour?” As Yu Yunxi spoke, she set up a soundproof barrier.
“Speak, what is it?” Yu Cheng said impatiently.
“I know who killed your two royal brothers,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Quickly tell me!” Yu Cheng sprang to his feet, releasing the aura of great perfection of Dao Emperor realm. He sternly said, “Because of the Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince’s deaths, my mother is utterly heartbroken. If I catch the murderer, I will ensure that the damned killer is tortured to death!”
“Seventh Royal Sister, hurry and tell me who the murderer is!”
Yu Yunxi glared at Yu Cheng, her gaze suddenly turning icy. “The murderer is far away and yet near. Crown Prince brother, why don’t you tell me, who is the murderer?”
