The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 90

A moment ago.

After Xie Hongyi left in the lead-up to the night, three people emerged from the darkness. They wore black clothes so that they looked similar to shadows. The three men then settled into Prince Yu's Residence. Without anyone noticing, the three then entered into a room without a sound. They looked at the sleeping person with a sharp look.

Two of them then approached towards the bed, while the other was silent to watch. One of the people who approached towards the bed let out a sharp object. The other man nodded. His hands then smothered the man lying on the bed. No response should occur when a person's breathing is obstructed, but both do not care about the abnormalities that occur. The man who held a sharp object like a dagger then drew his weapon into the chest of the man on the bed. Instantly the blood flowed to the cloth of his clothes and his bed was also exposed to blood.

After stabbing someone, the person watching picked up a candle that was burning nearby. He then pointed the candle near the table filled with scattered paper. The originally small flame then grew very quickly. Seeing the flames that started seeping towards the other, the three people then blurred through the window.

Unfortunately for their fate because after making it out, there were already a few guards who intercepted them.

Stammering, one of the perpetrators who caused the fire spoke. “O-the one who told us to wear masks. We can't see his face. He just instructed to kill someone.”

Xie Hongyi was still playing around with the gun in his hand. “What did that person give you?”

“He gave us money.”

“As expected." Xie Hongyi took a pause for a moment before asking back. "Who are you going to kill?"

"The masked man ordered us to kill a woman who was in Prince Yu's Residence. He mentioned that the woman lived in one of the mansion's buildings."

Only a third person spoke explained to Xie Hongyi, while the other two tried to untie the rope. They desperately wanted to keep that person's mouth shut, but it couldn't be done with their hands tied. Damn, the boss talks too much!

Xie Hongyi nodded his head. After listening to the story, he drew a conclusion. That person wanted to make this happen as an accident, so there would be no tone to know that there was a murder. And if they are found out, An Ziming will be made a scapegoat.

The masked man must have known that Prince Yu and An Ziming had a conflict, so that he could take advantage of the situation between the two. The masked man was smart enough to sow discord between Prince Yu and An Ziming.

Xie Hongyi thought out loud, roughly who was the one who was planning to kill him? Has he offended any of the officials in the North? Thinking of this, Xie Hongyi became enlightened. The only people within the Palace who had ever been involved with him were only Yin Tianrui and Consort Lan. It was impossible for Yin Tianrui to dare to tell people to kill him in his own sister's residence. So, there's only one answer left. All of this was the deed of Consort Lan.

It just so happened that he had unresolved affairs with this person, and this time Xie Hongyi would actually act.

After getting what he wanted, Xie Hongyi decided to leave this place and before he touched the door leaf, he turned to look at the three people who were still bound. He then spoke in a slightly loud voice.

“I am the person you killed.”

The faces of the three bound people displayed a shock reaction. They looked at Xie Hongyi as if they were looking at a ghost.

Delighted by their reaction, Xie Hongyi gave a silent smile. His left eye was raised a little. “Surprised to see I'm alive? You must be wondering why I can still stand. All right, I'll tell you.”

Smiling, Xie Hongyi told. “The person you stabbed is actually just a doll.”

Before Xie Hongyi left, he asked for a puppet similar to himself on the system. The doll was then placed in his room. His goal was to trick the people from the Yu Residence who were looking for him, so that he would not bother explaining where he was going. Never did Xie Hongyi think, the thing that only came to mind turned out to be useful.

While thinking about that, Xie Hongyi walked away from the warehouse while passing two guards lying unconscious near the outer door of the warehouse.

Without Xie Hongyi noticing, after he left the place, a shadow figure shot out quickly.

From a corner not far from Xie Hongyi's previous location, there were two people who saw Xie Hongyi enter the warehouse. The two just silently watched until the woman came out. Not long after that, someone else arrived. Without lingering, the newly arrived person spoke to the two men in the darkness. “Your Highness is right, that woman is actually Consort Xie.”

The person called His Majesty did not make a sound, but from the look on his face he knew that what had happened was as he expected. But one thing that makes him curious is, how can someone who has a broken bone heal in a short time? Even if that person's body had a rapid healing reaction, the time it took to recover from the injury would not be this short.

Huang Long from the start was already suspicious, and with the events that happened today, his suspicion grew even more on Xie Hongyi.

Ever since that incident in the court, Xie Hongyi's nature had started to change a lot. She is no longer a lonely concubine who likes to shut herself up in her room, but turns into a woman who has a lot of action.

Can a person change his nature with great change? Is Xie Hongyi possessed? Huang Long did not believe in anything supernatural, so he put the guess aside.

Except, is that really Consort Xie?

Tonight, there were two people tied to an invisible red rope with inverted thoughts. Up to a third of the night, both of them cannot fall asleep. Then the two simultaneously imagined the faces of each other and slowly, they were finally able to go to dreamland. I don't know what they're thinking, but one thing is for sure, the two smiled before closing their eyes.

The next morning, the sun shone dimly. Thin snow fell from last night, so that in the morning people could see the piles covering the places.

Prince Yu went to the Palace after getting a call from the Emperor. Not to forget he brought three perpetrators who had caused the fire. I don't know what happened to the three last night, when they were about to be taken away their faces were so pale as all their blood had been lost. Prince Yu's guards repeatedly asked what had happened, but the three were unwilling to open their voices.

After Prince Yu left, Xie Hongyi intended to meet Huang Long. If Huang Long ignored him again, he would thicken his face to continue 'sticking' at the man.

Xie Hongyi's goal of meeting Huang Long this time was to discuss when they were going to the South. Although Xie Hongyi did not really know the situation there, but based on what Huang Long said last night, the situation there must not be so good.

They should be back soon. If Huang Long were to ask about his rapidly recovering state, Xie Hongyi had already prepared an excuse.

After a long walk, Xie Hongyi finally reached Huang Long's place. He wanted to knock on the wooden door in front of him, but somehow he suddenly hesitated.

Xie Hongyi then peeked into the crack of the door. He just wanted to make sure if the man was in the room. When he peeked, suddenly the door opened from within. Xie Hongyi flinched and instantly rewinded his body a few steps.

The figure that appeared from behind that door was none other than Huang Long. His appearance is still outstanding.

As their two bodies faced each other, they stared at each other. I don't know why things suddenly turned awkward.
