Bang! Bang! Bang!

After the first box was opened, it was as if they had done it on purpose. Under the flickering flame of the candle, the other twenty-nine boxes on the ground were opened as well.

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” ”Human, human head!”

The first scream came from Tang Qian Zi. After she screamed in extreme fear, the servant girls and even some servants in the room started to scream as if they had activated some kind of switch.

Even Feng Qiu herself was frightened to the point of letting out an ”Ah”. Her legs, which were in pain, went soft, as she completely lost all support, and even knocked Qiu Ming, who was supporting her, to the ground.

Tang Tian De was slightly better. After all, he had already made some guesses in his heart, but after seeing so many heads, his legs couldn't help but go numb.

Feng Qiu shakily scolded without strength in her voice, while trying to get up.

Feng Jiu Li was someone who had seen many corpses on the battlefield, but Feng Qiu and the rest were not. Even though Feng Qiu and Tang Tian De usually killed quite a few people, they had never faced such a neat and tidy head so directly.

In the entire Prince Consort's Mansion, the only one who was alright was Tang Qing.

She had been a ghost for fifty years, and now, she wasn't even afraid of evil spirits, let alone remains that had already lost their threat.

She acted as if she was scared shitless and staggered out of the hall, one foot already stepping onto the corridor leading to the inner room.

But at the moment, everyone was in a mess, they did not notice her, other than Feng Jiu Li.

At this moment, Feng Jiu Li looked at Tang Qing with a smile that was not a smile. With just a glance, he turned his head.

Tang Qing's footsteps slightly paused, and without any expression, she returned to the hall.

He looked at Feng Qiu who had barely managed to stand firm, and laughed considerately: ”Grand Princess's ears are probably not working well anymore. This King has made it clear just now, these things were sent over by Imperial Brother, not by This King.”

He paused, looked at Tang Tian De and, and said unhurriedly: ”Your royal brother still has something he wants This King to tell you.”

Feng Qiu's gaze darkened. When she thought about the Kaiser in the palace who looked gentle and kind on the outside but was extremely decisive and ruthless on the outside, her heart couldn't help but shiver.

”Kaiser, what do you want me to tell you?” she asked hoarsely.

Feng Jiu Li said: ”Royal brother said, this person was killed by This King, and the one holding the box was Imperial brother. If Grand Princess is not convinced, then he can just go and find Imperial brother.”

When Feng Qiu and Tang Tian De heard this, their hearts immediately sunk even further.

Although their heads could no longer be seen, they should be the subordinates that they sent out to pretend to be the Red Lotus Church.

Now that Kaiser asked Feng Jiu Li to bring out these words, he simply wanted to tell them — We already know that all of this was done by you guys, even if we don't have any evidence to deal with you guys right now, don't be too arrogant.

When the two of them thought about how Prince Consort's Mansion had been hiding in the shadows for so many years but exposed the entire Prince Consort's Mansion to Kaiser because of a small mistake, they couldn't help but be so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

”What does Your Majesty mean by that?” Could it be that you suspect our Prince Consort's Mansion? ”

Feng Qiu's face revealed sorrow, she tightly held onto her own chest, on the verge of collapse.

”Framing! It must be someone else's fault! ”

Tang Tian De shouted loudly, his face was filled with the pain and discomfort of being framed.

Feng Jiu Li sneered as he watched the two of them acting, declining to comment.

His gaze swept across their trembling knees, and he curled his lips in a faint smile.

Originally, when he arrived at the empress dowager's palace, he saw that the empress dowager was unwell because she was worried about him, so he wanted to stay there and tend to her ailments. However, after hearing that the empress dowager had punished them both by kneeling for a day, he changed his mind.

Since his knee was already swollen, if there was no follow-up, he would feel that it was a bit incomplete.

”Ninth Brother, tell me, who was it that had a tongue? has caused the Emperor to think that these people are related to our Prince Consort's Mansion? ”
