In the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Shangguan Ruoyu and Li Yuxuan sat opposite each other and did not speak to each other. Shangguan Ruoyu only looked at Li Yuxuan, while Li Yuxuan drank his tea calmly and returned to his previous lazy appearance.
Shangguan Ruoyu looked at Li Yuxuan and understood. He had always been the scheming Seventh Prince, which was why he showed a different side in front of Ling 'er. However, was this a good thing for Ling' er?、
"Your Highness, what do you plan to do?" Shangguan Ruoyu calmed herself down. She wanted to solve the problem here as soon as possible.
Li Yuxuan put down his teacup and smiled. "Miss Shangguan is in a hurry."
Shangguan Ruoyu didn't hide it and nodded." Zhang Xingyan is Zhang Zhongshou's son. Your Highness already knows, right?"”
Li Yuxuan raised his eyebrows." Yes, we're good friends. He's just..."
"Your Highness doesn't need to be a lobbyist, Ruoyu understands.”
Li Yuxuan sighed softly in his heart. He thought that he could still put in a good word for Xingyan, but it seemed that only they could resolve it themselves.
"Your Highness, Ruoyu only wants revenge. I don't dare to think about anything else, so I want to know how Your Highness plans to deal with Zhang Zhongshou.”
"Actually, do you know why Ouyang Xiong wants the Liuxi sword?”Li Yuxuan threw out another question.
Shangguan Ruoyu looked confused and shook her head. She didn't know why Ouyang Xiong had tried so hard to get the Liuxi Sword, and why Zhang Zhongshou had left the Liuxi Sword behind when the entire Shangguan family was executed.
Li Yuxuan chuckled, his thoughts drifting far away. "When the previous dynasty was destroyed, it was said that Emperor Xiahou hid a bunch of treasures and a martial arts manual before he died. No one knew where he was hiding? However, later on, people in Jianghu spread that the Liuxi Sword was the key to opening the treasure.“
"What?" Shangguan Ruoyu exclaimed," Impossible!"”
"Of course, this is just a legend. However, Zhang Zhongshou and Ouyang Xiong don't think that this is a legend. As far as I know, they came to an agreement. One of them wants the treasure, and the other wants the martial arts manual. That was why they colluded to snatch the Liuxi sword.”
"Zhang Zhongshou gave it to Ouyang Xiong because he couldn't find a way to crack the secret of the Liuxi sword.”Shangguan Ruoyu's tone turned cold.
Li Yuxuan nodded.
"What about you? " Your royal family won't let Zhang Zhongshou get the treasure so easily, right? Or rather, you want it yourself, and Maple Feather Pavilion wants that martial arts manual, right?”Shangguan Ruoyu approached Li Yuxuan, her tone cold.
"Miss Shangguan is very smart." Li Yuxuan chuckled.
"Humph, Seventh Prince is really scheming. Presumably, it's also a lie to say that you want to help my Shangguan family clear their name. After all, my Shangguan family has a great relationship with the previous dynasty.”Shangguan Ruoyu's words were full of sarcasm.
"Miss Shangguan is worrying too much. After this matter is settled, I will naturally return justice to your Shangguan family. Although the Liuxi Sword is a famous sword passed down from generation to generation in your Shangguan family, Prime Minister Shangguan is loyal to the Moon Dynasty. I naturally won't treat him as a remnant of the previous dynasty.”
The two of them fell silent again.
"Even if the Liuxi sword is the key, how can you find it without a map? "Shangguan Ruoyu is no longer as excited as before.
"There is a passage in the royal secretary. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you what it is. However, Miss Shangguan, don't worry.”
Shangguan Ruoyu didn't ask any more questions. She just wanted to take revenge and clear the name of the Shangguan family.
"But didn't the Liuxi sword go missing?”
Li Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Ruoyu thoughtfully." Actually, it's fine as long as the Liuxi Sword doesn't fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions.”
Shangguan Ruoyu did not say anything more. She thought that Li Yuxuan might have known that the Liuxi Sword was in her hands, but he did not expose her. Why should she say anything more?
Just as the two of them were silent, Shen Feng's voice sounded from outside the house.
"Wangye, Eunuch De is here. He said that the emperor wants you to come to the palace.”
"Yes. I know. Tell Eunuch De and I'll go.”
"Yes."
"Then Ruoyu will take her leave."
Li Yuxuan nodded and watched Shangguan Ruoyu disappear into the night. He also went out and walked towards the palace.
The golden hall was made of dark bronze lacquer wood, and the room was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. In the high hall, a man who was less than fifty years old was sitting. He was dressed in gold and his brows were filled with a domineering aura. At this moment, he was looking at Li Yuxuan below without saying a word.
"Why did Imperial Father call your son here?”Li Yuxuan's tone was calm.
"I heard that Zhang Zhongshou has taken action.”His dignified tone was also mixed with his love for Li Yuxuan.
"Yes, Ouyang Xiong poisoned the people of Maple Feather Pavilion.”Li Yuxuan did not hide anything.
"Mhm, what do you plan to do?" Li Yun Tian asked. This son of his was more in line with his wishes. He was brave and resourceful.
"Right now, we should first eliminate Zhang Zhongshou's minions in secret. After the Martial Arts Circle Convention destroys Ouyang Xiong, we'll uproot them.”
"Hmm…what's the whereabouts of the Liu Xi sword?”
"No clues yet." Li Yuxuan bowed.
The father and son immediately stopped talking. Li Yuxuan only looked at his father calmly, that high and mighty man.
"I heard that you met a woman recently.”A probing voice sounded.
Li Yuxuan paused. He knew that his whereabouts had long been in his grasp. He also had a plan in his heart. It seemed that there were some people around him who needed to be eliminated.
"Just friends."
"En…in a few days, Princess Xing Zhuo of the Star Empire will arrive. You know that she is here for you. There are some things that I don't need to explain clearly, understand?”Li Yun Tian's tone contained a hint of threat.
Li Yuxuan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, but it quickly disappeared and he nodded.
" Retreat. Remember the Liuxi Sword." Li Yun Tian waved his hand, stood up, and helped Eunuch De inside.
"Emperor, who are you going to bed with today?
"Let Concubine Rou do it." Li Yun Tian's voice was no longer as dignified as before. Instead, it carried a hint of frivolity.
When Li Yuxuan heard the voice, the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. As his father, he still could not change his lecherous habit. Although he was smart enough, he would one day fall into the hands of a woman. Then, he thought of Princess Xing Zhuo's upcoming arrival and frowned slightly. They still had to take care of the Star Dynasty. What if a fire broke out in the backyard while they were killing the enemy? However, when he thought of Murong Ling, he felt a struggle in his heart.
Li Yuxuan, who had returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, immediately returned to the study. He also instructed Shen Feng not to let anyone disturb him.
"Dark." Li Yuxuan shouted faintly.
Then, a man in black appeared in the room. He cupped his fists and knelt in front of Li Yuxuan.
"Go and investigate who is Imperial Father's men around me. Also, send two people to follow Miss Mu Rong at all times to protect her safety.”
"Yes." The man in black didn't say much and suddenly disappeared into the night.
Then, only Li Yuxuan was left in the room, deep in thought. He was thinking about how to prevent his father from harming Murong Ling. He knew that his father would do anything to get the marriage with the Star Dynasty. It would be difficult for him to fight back! Moreover, when he thought about how Murong Ling still didn't understand what he was thinking, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Should he tell her?
