To describe it briefly, death would have been merciful.
Who could have imagined that Zhao Chuchu, who had always looked so kind and gentle, would have such a terrifying side?
The man spilled everything.
Zhao Chuchu felt a little speechless.
That’s it?
For a brief moment, she thought that he might actually be able to endure this and remain silent!
It turned out that the Great Prince had sent him over.
The Great Prince still hadn’t given up.
After extracting the information she needed, Zhao Chuchu made him faint, then sneaked past the sentries in the prince’s palace and brought the man to Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was absolutely befuddled.
“This man was eavesdropping on us the whole time in the courtyard just now. He had already admitted that the Great Prince had sent him. Your Highness, what do you plan to do with him?” Zhao Chuchu got straight to the point.
“What is he trying to do? What does he want?” Xie Yan asked.
Zhao Chuchu said, “He was the one who tried to poison you a few days ago. His disguise technique is quite remarkable. No wonder you guys couldn’t find him. He’s still hiding inside the Third Prince’s palace, probably because he’s trying to find a chance to poison you again. Your Highness, there are a lot of people out there who hate you!”
Xie Yan smiled helplessly and said, “Yeah, all of them dream of wiping me off the face of the Earth. But, unfortunately, not a single one of them has succeeded.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“Just sit and watch. Mrs. Xie, thank you; you saved me again.”
“I won’t consider that saving you. I’m just trying to save myself. But if he had somehow succeeded, my entire family and I would have been executed.”
“Regardless, you saved my life.”
“Never mind, let’s not talk about that. Your Highness, do what you want with this man. I shall take my leave first.”
“Okay, goodbye, Mrs. Xie.”
“No need to send me off.’
Zhao Chuchu quietly left Xie Yan’s room.
Xie Yan looked at the man who was lying unconscious on the ground. He looked down for quite a while, then clapped his hands briefly.
A few seconds later, a short and stout man appeared. He kneeled before him and asked, “Sir, I’m ready to take your orders.” “Send this person to the Great Prince’s residence.”
“Yes, sir.”
This is wonderful material for blackmailing the Great Prince. It would be a waste not to use it.
The Great Prince had no opportunity to do anything to him right now. With this incident, he will definitely try to do something out of desperation. Xie Yan had no idea what the Great Prince might do.
After all, this big brother of his never behaved according to common sense or logic.
As for the Sikou clan? They had been rather busy trying to network with potential advanced scholars attending the spring exams. They had no energy to collude with the Great Prince.
This was what an alliance based on common interests looked like. The bond is extremely weak and fragile.
Xie Yan touched the wound on his chest. He didn’t take three arrow shots for nothing. It would be a huge waste if he couldn’t overthrow the Great Prince.
The only rightful master of the Wei Dynasty was Xie Jun!
Xie Yan was determined to eliminate everyone who could possibly threaten Xie
Jun!
The incident that happened to his mother and brother was undoubtedly connected to the women in the imperial harem.
Xie Yan didn’t feel any brotherly love toward those people. The harmony that he was showing was purely out of necessity.
He would raise his blade on him the moment he had a chance.
He didn’t believe that they were innocent. If not for them, why would those women in the imperial harem devise all those schemes? If they benefited from those vicious plans, then they didn’t deserve to be innocent!
Determination and ruthlessness flashed across Xie Yan’s eyes.
The Conference Examination, which took place over the course of nine days, finally ended.
Zhao Chuchu received permission from Xie Yan to go to the entrance of the examination hall together with Xie Jun to wait for Xie Heng.
Xie Heng looked calm and composed compared to the other candidates, who looked like they had messed up the exams and lost their souls in the process.
His looks were way too outstanding. The moment he appeared at the entrance of the examination hall, Zhao Chuchu noticed him. She jumped and waved, “Da Lang, here!”
The other candidates turned and looked toward Zhao Chuchu when they heard her. There was something odd about their gaze.
But Zhao Chuchu had no time to interact with them. The only person she saw was Xie Heng.
Xie Heng finally smiled as he walked toward her briefly.
“Bro, the exams are finally over.” Xie Jun was thrilled to see Xie Heng. “I’ve been counting the days. These nine days felt so tough.”
“Bro, can I say what I want to eat?”
“Of course, I’ll make it for you when we reach home.”
“A scholar cooking? How shameful!” The moment Xie Heng said that, a candidate standing beside them scoffed, “If you like the kitchen so much, why don’t you just be a chef? Why bother studying?”
Xie Heng frowned slightly.
Zhao Chuchu sneered and said, “Did your parents not teach you how to talk properly? Does any of this have anything to do with you? Why don’t you mind your own business? Don’t be a busybody, and watch that filthy mouth of yours!!”
