"Boy, take the elixir first, or I will kill you."
The Ninth Prince said.
Li Qingxuan did not hesitate, wrapped the elixir with zhenqi, and then swallowed it in his mouth.
This will ensure that the elixir will not be digested after entering the body.
Seeing Li Qingxuan's cooperation, the Ninth Prince laughed and patted Li Qingxuan on the shoulder.
"That's right young man. After this prince ascends the throne, the general will be yours."
The strong man next to him suddenly became anxious.
"Ninth Prince, didn't you say that the general is mine last time?"
"Ahem."
The Ninth Prince coughed dryly.
"Those are the two generals."
He is not an emperor now, and these official positions are not granted casually, but it will not be like that then.
It was precisely this method that won over many people to work for him wholeheartedly.
The bearded strong man glanced at Li Qingxuan contemptuously, thinking to himself, he is another fool who was deceived by the Ninth Prince.
"Ninth Prince, the head of my family asked me to ask if everything is ready?"
"Everything is ready. Where is your family head? Have you finished making the things to unlock the seal? There are only a few days left before the ancestor worship at the imperial mausoleum."
"You can rest assured about this. When the time comes, you will attract the empress's attention and be responsible for detonating the gunpowder, while we will be responsible for releasing the demon. In the past few days, we have also been at your disposal."
The strong man with the beard said.
The Ninth Prince nodded.
If only a few of his subordinates hadn't been wiped out by that damn Langya Pavilion, he wouldn't have been left without anyone.
Once again, he tricked the common people into joining, and again he had to borrow someone from that person.
Especially that guy's men, all of them are unruly and not easy to use at all.
"Boy, you haven't told me yet, what official position do you hold with the emperor?"
"Personal guard."
Li Qingxuan said.
"A guard is just a guard. Why do you need to add the word "personal"?"
"It's the kind that sticks very close. Sometimes it's a negative distance."
The Ninth Prince obviously couldn't understand Li Qingxuan's words for the moment, but he vaguely understood that this was his sister's confidant.
Unexpectedly, he conquered one of the emperor's cronies and took his own elixir. This was great.
Originally, the success rate of the matter was only 60%, but now it suddenly became 70%.
"From now on, you are responsible for providing this prince with the whereabouts of the empress."
"Also, who she met and what she said must be reported truthfully. Do you understand?"
The Ninth Prince looked at Li Qingxuan.
"I understand. I'm just curious. The Imperial Guards are all close associates of the Empress. They have been innocent for eighteen lifetimes. How did you get them to do things for you?"
Li Qingxuan resisted taking action, of course, just to find out who the traitor and the head of the family were.
Otherwise, he couldn't help but twist off the Ninth Prince's head and use it as a chamber pot.
After all, it was this guy who caused a lot of trouble to his wife.
"You are now considered a close confidant of this prince. I will show you my trump card."
As he said that, he opened another door and saw several corpses piled inside.
Li Qingxuan noticed that the faces of the corpses were all bloody and bloody. To be precise, they had no face.
"Their faces were peeled off and made into human skin masks. The Imperial Guards who are loyal to the emperor are of course unable to penetrate. But killing them and changing their faces can do it."
Li Qingxuan's scalp felt numb as he listened, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
Peeling off the entire face is so inhumane.
There are many ways to make a mask, but the other party chose the most cruel one.
At this time, the ninth prince had a sinister smile on his lips.
If he didn't understand Li Qingxuan's living habits and didn't have time to understand them, he would have peeled off Li Qingxuan's face just now.
"Do you know Qingzhifang?"
The Ninth Prince suddenly asked.
Li Qingxuan was shocked. Did he discover something?
"I heard it's a painting studio."
Li Qingxuan replied cautiously.
"It is indeed a painting workshop. Please help me investigate what is the relationship between the owner of the painting workshop and the empress."
"He actually went to Fengmingxuan to investigate my prince's affairs. By the way, I still have his portrait in my room."
With that said, the Ninth Prince returned to a room and took out a picture scroll.
After unfolding it, he looked at the scroll and then at Li Qingxuan, with some doubts in his eyes.
I looked at the portrait again, and then at Li Qingxuan...
"Don't look, we look the same."
Li Qingxuan said coldly.
"It turns out to be you, but you have already taken my prince's poison."
The Ninth Prince hurriedly took a few steps back and stared at Li Qingxuan.
According to his investigation, the boss of Qingzhifang was probably from Langya Pavilion. How could such a person be persuaded by just a few words?
There must be fraud in it.
At the same time, all his men also noticed what was going on here and gathered around.
Sure enough, the next second.
Li Qingxuan opened his mouth, spit out a pill, and then crushed it to pieces with his foot.
"Get him for me."
The Ninth Prince ordered loudly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the expression on his face froze.
Li Qingxuan, who was standing in front of him just now, had disappeared out of thin air. Then when he turned around, he saw blood spurting out from the necks of his subordinates at the same time.
More than thirty warriors were all killed in the blink of an eye.
Only the bearded man was still alive, but he also fell to the ground.
Looking at this horrific scene, the Ninth Prince was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Have mercy on me."
"Tell me who the head of the family is working with you."
"He is the head of the Ji family."
The ninth prince stammered.
"What?"
Li Qingxuan had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
He never expected that he would be the head of the Ji family.
"Where is he now? What did he do this for?"
Li Qingxuan asked.
"I don't know where he is, but he did this for the monster under the imperial mausoleum. He has a way to control the monster."
"What about you! I will spare your life if you tell the truth." Li Qingxuan looked at the beard.
"I don't know either. It's the head of the family who takes the initiative to contact me every time."
The bearded man was about to cry. He never expected that he would encounter such a terrifying thing.
"It's all trash."
Li Qingxuan knocked out the Ninth Prince and the bearded man, threw them at the door of Fusi, Beizhen, and then went to the Ji family's residence in the capital in person.
However, the head of the Ji family was not there at all, only some ordinary Ji family children.
"What an old fox."
Li Qingxuan cursed secretly.
Since the head of the family is gone, there is no need for ordinary disciples Li Qingxuan to take action. I believe Xue Gang will handle it well.
But there are still many doubts.
He was already the head of the first family in Daxia, so why did he still rebel with the Ninth Prince?
Does he also want to be emperor?
Li Qingxuan couldn't figure it out for the time being.
When I returned home, I saw Huazhi sitting in the yard with her chin in her hands.
Hearing the footsteps, Huazhi suddenly raised his head.
"Husband, you are back. I have something important to tell you."
"important things?"
Li Qingxuan showed some curiosity.
Is there anything important between us besides doing some double sports in the evening?
Li Qingxuan thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes showed surprise.
"Really...really?"
Li Qingxuan looked into Huazhi's eyes and asked.
"ah…"
Huazhi was a little stunned: "Has your husband already guessed it?"
"Are you really pregnant?"
Li Qingxuan looked at Huazhi's belly and asked.
Huazhi blushed and said angrily: "How could it be so fast? And who promised to give birth to your child?"
"I mean, you have nothing to do if you stay at home every day. Why don't you become the commander of the guards in the palace, so that we can stay together for twelve hours."
"That's it."
Li Qingxuan was a little disappointed and hesitant at the same time. It would be good to stay with his wife for twelve hours.
But in this way, he would have to move from the dark to the light, and he would no longer be able to protect his wife secretly.
"You don't have to rush to answer. You can give me the answer after paying homage to the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum."
Speaking of this, Huazhi's eyes showed some worry.
Although the passage for transporting gunpowder to the imperial mausoleum was destroyed, she was still a little uneasy.
She knew the Ninth Prince too well, and he would not give up easily.
"He should have been arrested by now."
Li Qingxuan said.
"ah?"
Huazhi raised her head and looked at Li Qingxuan in astonishment.
"What did you say?"
"...I mean when I came back, I saw a commotion at the gate of Fusi in Beizhen. It seemed that the Ninth Prince had been caught."
