Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.99 - Research
Xiang Yang was completely inexhaustible with himself, whereas previously he had already decided not to interfere in the matter of the Ming Empire.
But now he quietly came out of his room and left the private area belonging to Ming Xue, to investigate his suspicions.
There were so many strange things that Xiang Yang had discovered at the same time as Ming Xue during this time.
The first was that when Ming Xue told him about the ailing Emperor Ming Qin, the girl showed absolutely no sad look. Also when he had arrived at the Imperial Palace, supposedly as a child, Ming Xue would immediately visit his sick father, instead of visiting instead of taking Xiang Yang for a walk around the palace, huh..it was also if Ming Xue cared about her father.
Either he did this because he had no work to join, or perhaps because his hero soul had reappeared to be a hero to the Ming Empire. Xiang Yang did not know for sure the reason.
Xiang Yang moved quietly in the darkness of the night, passing by on the soldiers patrolling.
With his current ability, it was easy for Xiang Yang to move freely without being noticed.
Because Xiang Yang did not know the layout of the Imperial Palace, so he moved randomly following his instincts.
Xiang Yang passed through the hallway inside the palace, until he finally saw a place that was heavily guarded.
Xiang Yang hid behind the intersection of the hallway, he could see at the end of the hallway there was a 2-leaf door that looked luxurious, which was very tightly guarded.
Almost all of those guard soldiers were at the Sky Spiritual level, there were some who were at the Silver Core level, whereas for Earth Spiritual level cultivators there were absolutely none.
"Hm, there must be something there!" although Xiang Yang was sure that he could kill them all, he did not because it would cause unnecessary trouble later.
Not everything can be solved with power, sometimes we also have to rely more on the brain.
Xiang Yang used a technique from the 3rd book that the Golden Dragon gave him, which allowed him to sharpen his hearing.
But just as Xiang Yang was about to use the technique, he heard at the intersection of the hallway, several steps were heading towards him.
Xiang Yang quickly jumped up, Xiang Yang used both hands and feet resting on the walls and ceiling to hold his body from falling.
A while later, Xiang Yang saw the 2 warriors turn towards the passageway where he was hiding, making the young man breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiang Yang also used a technique to sharpen his hearing.
It was currently inside a room that was heavily guarded by the soldiers outside.
It looked a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, a thin body and his skin looked slightly greenish. The middle-aged man was lying weakly unconscious on the bed.
Next to the man's bed sat a beautiful girl and a woman who looked to be 35 years old.
The beautiful girl was Ming Xue while the mature woman was her mother, Yuan Ran, who was the empress of the Ming Emperor Qin who was now lying weakly on the bed.
"Xue'er, I heard you brought home a man, who is that man? I told you not to take anyone!"
"Although you shouldn't have brought an unknown person, tomorrow I don't want that young man in the palace!" Yuan Ran glanced at Ming Xue at a glance as a warning sign.
"Yes, all right!" Ming Xue pouted.
Previously he had planned to keep Xiang Yang longer in the palace, executing a plan to gain the young man's heart.
But because his mother said so, he could not fight.
Yuan Ran looked back at her husband's frail face, immediately putting on a sly smile.
"Darling, I know even though you're so weak you can't open your eyelids, but I'm sure you can still hear what I'm saying!" Yuan Ran stroked slowly on Ming Qin's face.
"I'm glad you listened to my words and kicked out***** Ji Lan and that Ming Tu boy! Because of your stupidity I became able to rule in this Ming Empire!" Yuan Ran's sneaky smile grew wider.
About 5 years ago, Yuan Ran was still a concubine. But Yuan Ran was very dear to Emperor Ming Qin. Among the dozens of Emperor Ming Qin's concubines, Yuan Ran was his favorite.
Yuan Ran had high ambitions of becoming an empress and eventually made plans to frame Ji Lan who was the empress back then.
Yuan Ran accused Ji Lan of plotting to poison Emperor Ming Qin. With the scheme and other things set up, the evidence of the lie shows if Yuan Ran's accusations are true.
Eventually Ji Lan and her son Ming Tu were expelled from the Imperial Palace by Emperor Ming Qin himself. Yuan Ran was appointed empress in place of Ji Lan.
One year later, Yuan Ran's ambition grew even greater, he wanted to rule over the Ming Empire.
For a year after being expelled from the Imperial Palace, Ming Tu made the troops to rebel because they were really angry with what he and his mother had received.
In 1 year, the rebel groups that Ming Tu formed developed so rapidly, that they dared to show themselves, and often had conflicts with the imperial party.
Yuan Ran took advantage of the rebels, poisoning the Emperor and spilling all the blame on the rebels.
Yuan Ran also got what he wanted, which was to become a ruler in the Ming Empire.
Yuan Ran had not directly killed Emperor Ming Qin since it would definitely create trouble for him later. So Yuan Ran continued to give Emperor Ming Qin poison-added food, but with very few doses that were certainly not harmful to the body.
But the story is different if the poison is continuously consumed.
In addition to slowly killing Emperor Ming Qin, it also aims to make the healer who examined Emperor Ming Qin's condition unaware that the emperor continues to consume poison.
Until this 3 years Yuan Ran continued to give Emperor Ming Qin food containing poison, until the condition of the emperor continued to deteriorate at any time.
Ming Xue herself did not care about what happened, she did not consider Ming Qin as her father at all because she had never gained any affection from him since childhood, even Ming Xue was rarely noticed by her mother making the selfish nature grow in Ming Xue.
So as long as it had nothing to do with him then Ming Xue would not care about anything.
