Chapter 390 Xue Xing's Life-Saving Straw



Inside the castle hall.

Ning Fengzhi sat in the first seat and said, "Xiao San, I will let Uncle Gu go with you to the palace this time."

Tang San said puzzledly: "Uncle Ning, there is not much danger in the palace, I can go alone. If it really doesn't work, let the Peerless Dragon Snake couple go into the palace with me."

Ning Fengzhi was not speaking without purpose. He explained, "Xiao San, you think the problem is too simple. I suspect that there may be spies from the Spirit Hall in the palace. Once His Majesty passes away, these guys may cause chaos."

"You and Uncle Gu go there, so you can take care of each other."

Ning Fengzhi made such arrangements naturally to show his loyalty in order to get Xue Qinghe's help.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Tang San simply agreed.

However, in his heart, he always felt that Ning Fengzhi was worrying too much.

The imperial palace is the core of the empire. How could it be easily infiltrated by the Spirit Hall?

"Then enter the palace immediately." Ning Fengzhi handed two tokens to Tang San, "These two tokens represent His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince respectively."

The palace was under lockdown, and Xue Qinghe was currently the regent, so the soldiers guarding the palace were most likely arranged by him. Ning Fengzhi gave Tang San two tokens just in case.

Everything was ready. Gu Rong waved his hand and a space door appeared in front of him.

He walked in with Tang San, and when they came out, they were already at the outskirts of the palace.

The guards on the outer layer showed Xue Ye’s token and entered smoothly.

This was Tang San’s first time seeing the imperial palace. The buildings and courtyards inside were far more luxurious than those outside.

The palace is very large. It takes half an incense stick of time to walk from the main gate to reach Xue Ye’s bedroom.

When they passed an unmanned corner, a palace maid blocked their way.

"Are you Prince Xuexing's man?" Gu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what the other party was doing.

"Prince Xuexing?" Tang San frowned. He would not be nice to this prince.

The maid knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Master, His Royal Highness invites you."

"His Royal Highness also said that there are no outsiders here, and the outside world doesn't know that you have met him."

Xue Xing and his nephew are now defined as the culprits who caused Xue Ye's death. Meeting him at this time is undoubtedly suspected of regicide.

However, Tang San and Gu Rong were not aware of what happened in the palace yesterday.

The two decided to follow the palace maid to see what Prince Xuexing wanted to do.

In a dilapidated mansion with no one guarding it.

Prince Xuexing and the fourth prince Xue Avalanche sat in the courtyard filled with a foul smell.

"Uncle, what should we do?" Xue Beng was like an ant on hot pot, fidgeting in his chair.

Xue Xing lost his usual calmness and said in a deep voice: "I have arranged for people to wait for Sect Master Ning's arrival on the road leading to the palace."

"As long as Sect Master Ning is willing to help us, at least we can save our lives."

At this moment, the voice of the palace maid came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Bone Douluo Mian is here."

Uncle Xuexing and his nephew seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. They quickly opened the gate of the courtyard and welcomed the two into the house.

Smelling the odor of rotten water, Tang San took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his nose.

"Your Highness, we haven't seen each other for several years. How come you are living in a place like this now?" Gu Rong said sarcastically.

The courtyard was not like this at the beginning.

However, the palace did not send servants to serve them. As the uncle and nephew were members of the royal family, how could they do it themselves? Over time, the courtyard became extremely dilapidated.

"Senior Bone Douluo, isn't Sect Master Ning here?" Xue Xing stared out the door eagerly, but found no trace of the other party.

"I will convey whatever you want to say."

"Who is this again?"

Tang San instinctively did not reveal his identity, "Tang Yin!"

Gu Rong snorted and said, "He is not an outsider. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

Xue Xing quickly stopped the two of them, "No, no, no, the king has something to say."

"I wonder if you have noticed that there is something strange about His Majesty's health."

"At first, the imperial physician diagnosed that it was a cold. But your Majesty's cold lasted for a whole year. After that."

After talking about Xue Ye's physical condition, he added: "I think someone is plotting against Your Majesty behind this."

Gu Rong sneered in his heart.

Even if they knew, as long as Xue Qinghe successfully ascended the throne, these things would be covered up.

Xue Beng added: "Senior Bone Douluo, it's not that we doubt Big Brother. Rather, the guards in the palace have been replaced since the past year."

"Earlier, I accidentally heard them say that they were from the Spirit Hall. Moreover, these new guards are almost all spirit masters. This is obviously not something that my Heaven Dou Empire can do."

The Tiandou Empire has a certain number of soul master corps, but these soul masters are stationed in various parts of the empire and it is impossible to transfer all of them to the palace.

Gu Rong gradually realized the problem.

If it was true as they said, then the Spirit Hall's plan was not small. With so many spirit masters, they were enough to bloodbath the entire palace.

Moreover, maybe these people were transferred by Xue Qinghe. And Xue Qinghe was probably secretly serving the Spirit Hall.

But when he thought of this, Gu Rong felt something was wrong.

Regardless of whether Xue Ye was dead or alive, Xue Qinghe would be able to ascend to the throne sooner or later. There was no need for him to take the risk of colluding with the Spirit Hall.

"The only explanation is that Xue Qinghe has been secretly dealing with the Spirit Hall a long time ago." Tang San said in a deep voice.

The current Xue Qinghe would indeed not cooperate with the Spirit Hall. But in the past, among Xue Ye's four princes, Xue Qinghe was too mediocre in other aspects except for his advanced age.

At that time, Xue Qinghe might have reached some agreement with the Spirit Hall.

Gu Rong did not come to a conclusion. "This is just speculation. Among His Majesty's descendants, only you and Xue Qinghe are left. If he loses power, the one who will benefit is you, Xue Aeng."

It is not ruled out that this incident was deliberately fabricated by Xue Beng to slander Xue Qinghe.

Tang San secretly rejoiced in his heart. If Gu Rong hadn't spoken, he would have almost believed this uncle and nephew.

How could he not know the nature of Prince Snow Star and Avalanche?

"Your Majesty, Bone Douluo, everything that this king and my nephew said is true." Xue Xing said anxiously, "Your Majesty has not much time left. When Xue Qinghe ascends the throne, it will be too late."

"If you don't believe me, wait until you enter the inner palace and feel the soul fluctuations of those guards yourself."

Gu Rong snorted, "Then how can we judge whether they are spirit masters from the Spirit Hall? Words are useless!"

"You just fabricated these false charges in order to save your lives."

After saying that, Gu Rong turned away and ignored them.

Tang San also followed him out of the courtyard.

But the seeds of doubt had already been planted in his heart.

Yu Xiaogang had said before that Xue Qinghe's industries and supporters had not been suppressed by the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Tang San felt that what Prince Xuexing said was very likely to be true.
