With a wave of his sleeve, Eunuch Yin departed . Behind him, w.a.n.g Chong's face had turned into a sheet of ice .

"Many thanks, Sir Eunuch . This king understands . In addition, please tell the First Prince that if he walks too much at night, he is bound to run into ghosts, and if his hands and feet are dirty, they are bound to be exposed . The First Prince should think very carefully about how he plans to explain the matter of Jade Consort Xiao to the Sage Emperor," w.a.n.g Chong coldly shot back .

Eunuch Yin had been rapidly walking away when he came to a sudden stop, seemingly nailed to the ground .

"This old slave understands . Many thanks, Your Highness . "

With these parting words, Eunuch Yin once more prepared to leave, but after walking just a few steps—

"Ah!"

There was a terrified shriek and sounds of turmoil, both coming from behind w.a.n.g Chong . w.a.n.g Chong, Eunuch Yin, and Yang Zhao all turned to look .

It's Shuhua Palace!

Turning his head to the source of the sound, w.a.n.g Chong immediately realized where it was coming from . The pair had just left Shuhua Palace, so he couldn't be wrong .

Swis.h.!.+

With no time to think, w.a.n.g Chong used his movement technique and rushed toward the location of the sound .

Behind him, Eunuch Yin had become uncertain .

A few moments after w.a.n.g Chong left, Eunuch Yin blinked out of existence like he had just been a wisp of smoke .

"What's going on here? This is Jade Consort Xiao's mourning period! Who would dare make trouble at a time like this?"

Yang Zhao was also alarmed . His martial arts were not as profound, but he still ran after the two toward Shuhua Palace .

In a gentle breeze, w.a.n.g Chong appeared at Shuhua Palace . He sensed a sinister and cold energy right behind him, which he instantly knew to be Eunuch Yin following him .

His eyes swiftly turned to the palace .

The Shuhua Palace that had been so neat and orderly was now in disarray .

"Ghost!"

"Twi-twitching corpse!"

"Run! Flee!"

Within Shuhua Palace, the white-clothed maids and eunuchs were falling over themselves in their haste to flee .

One maid was so frightened that she had collapsed to the floor, and her face was so white that it seemed like she had seen a ghost .

w.a.n.g Chong followed her gaze and saw the coffin at the center of the hall .

As w.a.n.g Chong was trying to figure out what was going on, he heard a loud thumping from within the coffin and a cry for help .

"Save… save me! Let me out…"

This weak voice instantly made w.a.n.g Chong pale, and he rushed to the coffin's side .

"King of Foreign Lands! What are you thinking?!" A cold bark came from behind him as Eunuch Yin entered the hall .

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Can't you hear it?" w.a.n.g Chong angrily retorted .

Those of different paths had no need to conspire, and while he might have feared the First Prince himself, he had no need to be courteous to this chief eunuch that he completely outranked .

Moreover, this was Jade Consort Xiao's palace . The First Prince had killed Jade Consort Xiao, and his men were now lording over her palace like they owned the place . w.a.n.g Chong had no reason to be polite .

Eunuch Yin ignored w.a.n.g Chong . He reached out with a claw-like hand, and a panicked eunuch a few feet away was instantly pulled into his grip .

"Tell me what's going on!" Eunuch Yin coldly ordered .

Eunuch Yin's glare almost caused the soul of this eunuch to leave his body, his face turning ghastly pale .

"I-I don't know! I was just mourning Her Highness when a voice came from inside . It sounded… it sounded like Jade Consort Xiao!"

The man's eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fear .

"Absurd! Jade Consort Xiao is dead, so how could you hear her voice!?"

Eunuch Yin's face turned dark . The people of the Eastern Palace were sure that Jade Consort Xiao was dead . These tricks from the coffin could only fool these ordinary folk .

He turned to the coffin in the center of the hall .

"This one would like to see what sort of person would dare to play tricks with Jade Consort Xiao's coffin!"

Before anyone could react, Eunuch Yin shook his wrist, sending out a frigid stream of Stellar Energy that knocked aside the lid of the coffin .

The lid soon thudded to the side .

"Ah!"

Even more cries of alarm and screams of panic resounded .

The maids and eunuchs staggered backward, and even the eunuch in Eunuch Yin's grip struggled to flee .

"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost…"

A maid covered her mouth as she stared in terror, and as that figure rose from the coffin, she fell unconscious .

"Jade Consort Xiao! It's Mistress Xiao!" another maid leaning against a wall shouted .

Farther off, Yang Zhao, who was just crossing over the threshold, also spotted that weak figure swaying as it rose from the coffin . He felt like he had been struck by a lightning bolt, and his right foot froze in midair .

Yang Zhao's eyes flew open in disbelief .

At this moment, only one thought was left in his mind .

Jade Consort Xiao!

Yang Zhao had met with Jade Consort Xiao several times, and he could tell at once that this person was the 'deceased' Jade Consort Xiao .

"How could this be!?"

Yang Zhao was speechless and dumb .

Rumble!

A few moments later, this news swept through the entire Imperial Palace like a storm, shocking everyone .

The Jade Consort Xiao who had committed suicide last night and was in the middle of being mourned had come back to life in her coffin!

And Jade Consort Xiao was claiming that someone had tried to kill her, that she hadn't tried to commit suicide at all .

The inner palace was shaken, and the consorts and concubines all began to rush over to Shuhua Palace .

"What?! How could this be!? b.a.s.t.a.r.d! b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! You're all b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"

The First Prince's eyes bulged incredulously upon hearing the news .

Boom! With a sweep of his arm, the First Prince flung a table at the wall, but this was far from enough to vent his anger .

"Jade Consort Xiao is alive!"

"Jade Consort Xiao is alive?"

The First Prince had never imagined this kind of development in his meticulous scheme .

"What is Shuhua Palace saying?"

The First Prince's forehead throbbed and he felt like his heart was about to burn to ash from the anger .

This was no ordinary matter, no mere dispute with w.a.n.g Chong . This was the war for the throne . His only threat was Li Heng, and as long as he removed his fifth brother, the empire and the world would be his to rule .

Everything had been going according to plan, and he was sure that w.a.n.g Chong's investigation would turn up nothing .

But to his complete surprise, a woman who should have been dead had come back to life, completely upsetting his plans .

"Your Highness, Jade Consort Xiao has already announced that she did not hang herself, that someone tried to kill her! She fell unconscious at the time, and since she was promptly taken down, she still had some breath in her . It was only now that she finally came back to her senses . "

The advisors and officials in the hall all trembled in fear .

A kneeling guard on the floor was fearfully reporting on what he had heard .

This effort had already caused him to break out in a cold sweat .

Anyone could see that the First Prince was furious .

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop . There was no question that there had been some major misstep in this plan .

The First Prince slowly turned his icy gaze to a nearby figure .

Thump!

Before the First Prince could speak, the man wearing the Asura mask that covered the bottom half of his face dropped to his knees .

"Your Highness!"

The Asurmasked man was already ghastly pale, his forehead drenched in cold sweat . He knew what the First Prince wanted to task, and there was no question that he bore heavy responsibility for this matter .

"Just how did you fail to kill a woman who can't even truss a chicken?"

The First Prince gnashed his teeth . If looks could kill, this Asurmasked man would have died countless times .

"Your Highness, this subordinate also does not know what is going on . But this subordinate swears that he killed her, watched her take her last breath with his own eyes . She definitely cannot still be alive!"

The Asurmasked man made his case . He had been the primary executor of this plan, but someone of his abilities and status would normally not take part in these kinds of plans . However, not too long ago, w.a.n.g Chong had worked together with Imperial Army Commander Zhao Fengchen to wipe out all his subordinates . He had been the sole survivor, and the First Prince had no one else he could use in the short term .

Moreover, this was a matter that involved Fifth Prince Li Heng and the War of the Princes . Not wanting to leave any clues, the First Prince had sent his best man to personally eliminate Jade Consort Xiao .

But Jade Consort Xiao's revival left all of them dumbstruck .

The First Prince stared at the Asurmasked man, his eyes constantly s.h.i.+fting between seething killing intent and frightening chill . No one could tell what he was thinking .
