Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
05. Tribunal
Xue Fenghuang looked at the burly man before her at this moment.
"Who's your name ?" He asked quietly while treating the wounds on the burly man.
"In reply to master, my name is Xing Feng. " Said the burly man.
"Xing Feng, the strength of your body is quite strong when you don't have Qi yet. Why don't you want to train your Qi strength ?" Ask her with attention.
They were currently at Xing Feng's house which was a nearly destroyed wood.
"Master, I am only a lowly person who does not have the ability to practice Qi. I can only train my physical abilities by training with many people. " Said Xing Feng while looking down on his head.
"Don't I, too, am not someone important but can train Qi. Do you want to go to the city library with me to train Qi ?" Ask her.
"Miss, you are so great that you can even train Qi at a very young age. " Praise Xing Feng sincerely.
"Xing Feng, I want you to swear one thing on me. Swear that you will be faithful as long as you are with me, and will not obey anyone else. I will treat you well even if my own condition is not good. " Say her.
"Miss, I swear on behalf of the heavens that I will as long as it is loyal to the master and will not submit to others. If I break this then I will be struck by lightning to death !" Xing Feng said seriously.
Grr
The sound of lightning rang out beyond which the meaning of her oath Xing Feng had heard by the sky and could not be broken.
"Miss, even though I often do despicable things I do that just to survive. I will not bite the man who feeds me. " Said Xing Feng seriously.
"Good ! I'll hear your promise, let's go to the library to add some knowledge !" Say it and walk out first.
They entered the library together, today the library is very quiet and leaves only a few people.
"Senior, as promised yesterday. I came here again. " Speak politely in front of the elder yesterday.
"Your strength has increased. " Said the elder without raising his head.
"What ?" Her question did not believe her hearing.
"Yesterday you had no Qi at all and you now have Qi. Congratulations to you but the journey is still long. " Said the elder indifferently and gave up his two incense sticks.
On the other side of the Imperial palace.
"Mr Xue, please wait a moment. Duke Yuanzheng was in conversation with the Emperor for a while. " Said the Eunuch boredly looking at Xue Longque who was constantly bothering him.
But alas, Xue Longque's status was too high for him to offend so he could only keep his vexation in his heart.
Duke Yuanzheng was a mysterious existence and one was a person outside of the 3 Great sects who could defy the Emperor's words.
Duke Yuanzheng, had an unknown past and arrived at the palace by the Emperor to become his adopted son.
After that, out of the dozens of Emperor's original Sons before him, only the Crown Prince who had now become Emperor and Duke Yuanzheng survived.
Duke Yuanzheng is currently 18 years old, but do not ask the various wars that have been passed by him.
His title as Duke was given to him when he was 17 years old which means one year ago. His title as Imperial Uncle was also indisputable.
A quarter of the palace's military power was in the hands of Duke Yuanzheng, the palace only held his other quarter and the other two quarters were held by the 3 Great sects.
So it could be in the shadow of how powerful Duke Yuanzheng was, there was even more astonishing than his military strength, namely the Empire's trade was more than half in his hands.
Even the Emperor was unable to say any further to this matter and did not dare to come into direct contact with his adopted sister.
There are rumors that say that he is very ugly, but there are also rumors that say that he is very handsome so as to protect his face so as not to be pursued by people.
Duke Yuanzheng had a well-built body that was very seductive and had many fans in any city.
Not even a few princesses from her other small Kingdom Kingdom were intending to marry her, but none were accepted by her.
The giant door opened and gave rise to a young man with a tall body and wearing a mask with the image of a lion.
"Yuanzheng Duke. " Talk Xue Longque respectfully and directly kneel in front of the young man.
"Hm." Duke Yuanzheng coldly replied before walking away.
Xue Longque who was being indifferent just like that did not feel angry or embarrassed because it was all common.
He stood up and stared at the eunuch who was walking into the Emperor's room to ask for permission.
"Please come in, Mr. Xue. " Said the eunuch with respect.
He was delighted and directly walked in before kneeling in front of the Emperor directly.
"Honor to the Emperor, this lowly one disturbs your crucial time for a few things." Said it with respect.
"Please say your reason, the poison suffered by the Crown Prince is not severe because it does not take much and will heal within 2 days. " The Emperor said coldly.
"Your Majesty ! Please forgive my daughter, I will give her a sentence of 1 month's imprisonment. We are still one family what else from a long time ago, Ling'er greatly admired the Crown Prince, how could he possibly injure the Crown Prince ? Even he was also exposed to poison, there must be someone who wanted to trap him. " Xue Longque said pitifully.
"You're right, but the evidence is in Xue Ling's room ?" Asked the Emperor stubbornly.
"Your Majesty, it must have been someone who put it down, we were too busy and didn't notice that any bad people had infiltrated our house. After all, Xue Ling had only returned from the Tianwen Sect when night had arrived. " Said Xue Longque.
"You're right, too, well I'll get some people to investigate further. Xue Ling may be free tomorrow, if I find any evidence that leads to her then I will not be disinclined anymore. " The Emperor said coldly.
"Okay, well, thank you very much Your Majesty. I'll pick up Xue Ling tomorrow, give my regards to Empress Xue. " Said her happily and prostrated 3 times.
"Yes, go. My wife also said the same to you, I'm also sure that you won't do that. " The Emperor said with a faint smile.
"Yes, yes once again thank you very much Emperor, I will leave first. " Xue Longque said hurriedly, a delighted expression unable to hide on his old face.
On the other hand, Xue Fenghuang was inside the market and hit someone with a mask that covered her entire face.
Bruck
"I'm sorry. " Speak it quickly.
"Hm." Said the young man, he who saw that looked down again before running away.
On the other hand, the young man was Duke Yuanzheng who was observing the woman who bumped into him earlier while smiling very thinly behind his mask.
"Master, that woman stole your money. " Said the man in blue behind her.
"It's okay, I think that woman is very attractive, isn't she ? He could hide his entire expression well. " Duke Yuanzheng said.
Xue Fenghuang who did not know that her self was already in the know thought that she had managed to steal for the first time.
"Xing Feng ! How much did you get, right ?" Ask her.
"Miss, I got 13 silver. " Said Xing Feng excitedly, he learned to steal from Xing Feng and got a lot of benefits.
