Chapter 300 Beiliu Shengchang
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Enchantress arrived at the Soul-demanding Gate, only to see Xi Ruming looking at the letter in his hand with a serious expression, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
Xueying strode over and shouted, "Uncle! You're back!" His voice was full of joy and anticipation.
Dark Moon Enchantress also followed Blood Shadow and shouted, "Uncle!" Her face was filled with a smile and her eyes revealed her respect for Xi Ru Ming.
Xi Ruming raised his head, looked at Dark Moon Enchantress with a kind face and said, "The young master's wife is here too! It happens that I have something to talk to you about! This is the news from the secret agent in the Beiliu royal family!" After that, he handed the letter in his hand to Blood Shadow.
Xueying took the letter, glanced through it quickly, and his face became serious. He frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Dark Moon Fairy noticed Blood Shadow's mood change and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Bloodshadow handed the letter to Darkmoon Enchantress.
Dark Moon Fairy read every word in the letter carefully, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Is there really no one in the Duanmu royal family who can inherit the throne?"
Xueying patiently explained to her: "The Duanmu royal family has experienced several generations of fierce power struggles among royal families, which has led to a very sparse family population. Moreover, during the last rebellion of the imperial teacher, almost all male members of the Duanmu royal family were killed, leaving only the emperor and the crown prince to flee in a hurry."
Dark Moon Fairy curled her lips in disapproval: "Then the Duanmu royal family is really unlucky! They finally pacified the internal chaos, and now the emperor and the prince are both seriously ill! It's okay for them to be in a mess, but if the new emperor has evil intentions like the previous imperial teacher, then my father and brothers will probably be in trouble!"
Xi Ruming stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with shrewdness, and said slowly: "It's not that there is no solution. Although the emperor and the prince are both seriously ill, the news is still strictly blocked. Doesn't the Duanmu royal family still have Duanmu Qin in the fourth prince's mansion? And Beiliu once had an empress. As long as Duanmu Qin returns to Beiliu and ascends the throne to become the empress, the fourth prince will become the emperor's husband. In this way, the King of Qin will have one less powerful competitor."
When Xueying heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Father Ya is really resourceful!"
Then, Blood Shadow turned his gaze to Dark Moon Fairy, his eyes revealing a firm determination: "It seems that I need to go to the Fourth Prince's mansion in person."
Dark Moon Fairy nodded, expressing her support for Blood Shadow's decision, and offered to accompany him to the Fourth Prince's residence. She knew that this operation was of vital importance to them and they had to proceed with caution.
At this time, the Fourth Prince was sitting by the fireplace with Duanmu Qin, drinking hot tea and chatting.
Suddenly, two black shadows flashed by, and then Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy appeared in front of them. The Fourth Prince and Duanmu Qin stood up suddenly with astonishment on their faces.
The Fourth Prince quickly pulled Duanmu Qin behind him, stared at the uninvited guest with vigilant eyes, and said sternly: "Who are you? How dare you break into the prince's mansion at night! Someone come! There is an assassin!" While shouting, he nervously observed his surroundings, ready to deal with possible dangers.
However, Dark Moon Fairy only curled her lips and sneered, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. She said with a hint of sarcasm: "Don't shout, except for you two, everyone else in your house has been knocked unconscious by the drug I gave you! Even if you shout your throat out, it will be useless!" Her tone revealed a kind of confidence and complacency, as if she was quite pleased with her own methods.
The faces of the Fourth Prince and Duanmu Qin turned pale as paper in an instant, as if they had lost all their blood. The Fourth Prince tried to remain calm and said, "You can kill me, but please let Princess Duanmu go!" His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he was ready to die.
However, Duanmu Qin did not accept the Fourth Prince's kindness. Her voice trembled with a hint of despair: "No! I won't leave! Who hired the killer? I am willing to pay ten times the price, just begging you to let the Fourth Prince go!" She tightly grasped the Fourth Prince's hand, her eyes full of helplessness and fear.
At this time, Xueying let out a deep laugh that was creepy. He sneered and said, "Since you love each other so much, then all right, tomorrow you should go to the palace together to find Emperor Wen and ask him to agree to your immediate marriage!" There was a hint of teasing and mockery in his words.
Hearing this, the Fourth Prince and Duanmu Qin were stunned. They stared with wide eyes and their faces were full of disbelief. The Fourth Prince asked in confusion, "What? What does this mean?" He could not understand why Xueying made such a request.
Duanmu Qin was also confused. She stammered, "What...what exactly do you want to do?" She had an ominous premonition in her heart, thinking that things might be more complicated than she had imagined.
Xueying took out a piece of letter and handed it to the Fourth Prince, who took it with a puzzled look on his face, then quickly unfolded the letter and read its contents. His brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with confusion.
After reading the letter, the Fourth Prince's face became gloomy and nervous. He clenched his fists tightly, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He handed the letter to Duanmu Qin and said in a low voice: "Look at this..."
Duanmu Qin took the letter and scanned the words on the paper eagerly. Her eyes gradually became anxious, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face. She raised her head, looked at Xueying, and asked anxiously: "Is this true? Why didn't I receive any news?"
Xueying nodded and replied seriously, "Don't doubt it, this is the news from Beiliu Palace. Although you are returning to Beiliu now, you may not be able to ascend to the throne of empress. However, if you marry the fourth prince and lead the Luo family army of Beiyuan back to Beiliu, then the throne of empress will definitely belong to you!"
The fourth prince stared at Duanmu Qin, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. He knew that the choice at this moment was related to their future destiny. Duanmu Qin's decision would directly affect their future!
Duanmu Qin was born with a weak character. At this moment, he was so frightened that he trembled and said, "I... I'm afraid! I'm afraid I can't control Bei Liu!"
Hearing this, Xueying raised his eyebrows, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully: "Isn't there still the Fourth Prince? Your husband will assist you in the future, what do you have to be afraid of?"
