CH 249 Mystery of Emperor Death
*****
They arrived at the Emperor's room, a spacious and magnificent room and in the middle was a large bed. On top of the bed was a stiff middle-aged man and a young man seemed to be sitting down crying on the side of the bed. An old man who was a Eunuch stood beside the man, his face showing a deep sadness.
"Greetings to the Kings, Queens and Princes!" said Kasim saluting as the entourage from all over the kingdom entered the room. Prince Huang Bianfeng stood up and saluted.
"Don't be too proud of the prince, we also defend our condolences for this incident" said Xiao Dong.
Xiao Feng stepped forward towards the bed.
"Prince I am so sorry for the death of the Emperor's uncle, let me examine him" Xiao Feng said.
"Please Prince Xiao Feng" Huang Zhi Yan said and let Xiao Feng examine his father's corpse. Xiao Feng nodded then looked at that already stretched body. Xiao Feng held onto a wrist then opened the eyelids of the corpse of emperor Huang Bianfeng.
"Analyzing system" Xiao Feng said in his mind.
[Ding, doing scanning]
[Ding, scan completed 80% of blood flow, heart, kidney, spleen, liver, bile, brain there are toxins]
Xiao Feng frowned at the notice, he indeed guessed that the death of the Emperor was unnatural, but he did not expect that his death was due to poison. Huang Zhi Yan who saw Xiao Feng immediately advanced approached.
"Did you find anything?" said it. Xiao Feng sighed then turned to everyone.
"According to my examination the emperor died not from illness or anything else especially considering the emperor had a high cultivation, but the emperor died from poison" Xiao Feng said and left everyone shocked.
"Is Feng'er right?" said Xiao Dong.
"Rightly my analyst father couldn't be wrong, the poison spread to five important internal organs and entire blood vessels"
"But according to the healer there are no symptoms of poisoning" said Huang Zhi Yan still do not believe.
"Prince do you know of any undetectable poison silver needles?" asked Xiao Feng and Huang Zhi Yan to only shake his head but not with Eunuchs, The eunuch whose countenance changed hearing that.
"Sorry Prince I interrupted, if it is not wrong there is a poison that is not detected by silver needles and it is Xuji's poison" Kasim said.
"Eunuch is right, it is Xuji's poison and Xuji's poison is a poison developed by the imperial party itself only a few people know this" Xiao Feng said.
"That means only one conclusion then, the emperor died because of an insider" said Feng Xi, everyone seemed to be thinking that and justifying Feng Xi's statement.
"Easy eunuchs quickly close all the gates and check the medicine division" Huang Zhi Yan ordered.
"Good Prince" said Kasim, but before it passed suddenly there was a soldier facing.
"The report of the Medicine Division Minister Prince Gu Jun was found dead outside the palace walls" said the soldier, Huang Zhi Yan and the others were shocked but Xiao Feng already knew something like this would happen.
"What how is it possible?"
"It's easy for the Prince, it's likely that Minister Gu Jun was the man who poisoned the emperor and to remove any traces of him being killed" Xiao Feng said.
"Founder, soldier as soon as you comb the entire palace make sure no one escapes, if anyone suspicious immediately catch" said Huang Zhi Yan.
"Good Prince"
Indeed, the Minister of the imperial medicinal division had told people to put poison in the emperor's food, after there was news of the emperor dying, Gu Jun then moved out of the palace and met a man sitting on a horse carriage that was none other than Ling Xu Yuan.
"Are you done" Ling Xu Yuan said
"Already Young Master, the emperor is dead" Gu Jun said, Ling Xu Yuan smiled faintly.
"Hmm good, because you did a good job this is your gift" Ling Xu Yuan said as he reached out, Gu Jun slightly bowed in his heart he was pleased with the reward that would be given because earlier Ling Xu Yuan promised to give something to increase his cultivation. But it turned out not to be a gift because quickly a sharp and thin knife sliced his neck. Gu Jun suddenly held onto his neck that spurted a lot of blood, he looked at Ling Xu Yuan with anger.
"Ka.kauu.pengtraitor.." his speech was interrupted and he immediately collapsed. Ling Xu Yuan smiled smirked then immediately spurred the carriage away from the place.

The day turned everyone had gathered at Emperor Huang Bianfeng's funeral, it was about to hold an event to discuss the invasion of the Shangzhou kingdom but unexpected things happened so decided to postpone for the next month until the end of the mourning period.
One by one from each kingdom starting from the king, the queen and the prince pay their respects at the tomb of emperor Huang Bianfeng then continued the imperial officials.
About an hour of the event was over and everyone bailed back to their respective kingdoms, while Prince Shi Jian and Shi Zun joined Youngzhou kingdom at Xiao Feng's invitation. Feng Xi himself parted ways with Xiao Feng coming to Qingzhou kingdom. While Xiao Chen did not come along to Youngzhou he reasoned to take care of something first.
"Feng'er why didn't you tell Ling Xu Yuan who was the mastermind of Shangzhou's attack to Shi Jian?" xiao Dong said, the two of them are currently on the train. Prince Shi Jian and Shi Zun were on different trains.
"It's not that I don't want to, but right now I'm still not exactly worried that telling you now they will act stupidly, I haven't found Ling Xu Yuan either" Xiao Feng said.
"Didn't you tell your men to do that?"
"But they have not yet told you, at least two days they will tell you"
"Then the emperor's death by Xuji's poison was it because of him as well?" xiao Dong said, Xiao Feng seemed to think for a moment.
"It's hard to guess because there's no evidence yet, but I have a hunch that it was he who caused all this?"
"Hmm what is the motive of him committing this crime" Xiao Dong murmured.
"Possible revenge, do you know that when the empire began there was a mysterious army that carried out a rebellion" said Xiao Feng.
"Of course you know that from the stories of the ancestors"
"The squad is the Black Dragon army and in the background of the Ling sacred family, the, considering that the ancestor of the Ling Holy Family was slaughtered by the emperor ancestor in the past and the last descendant that escaped was Ling Xu Yuan" Xiao Feng said and made Xiao Dong surprised.
"Where do you know that?"
"I have conducted a search and research on the rebellion with the help of the Black Crow Pavilion and all the evidence does point to Ling Xu Yuan" Xiao Feng said.
"If it is so soon the situation will get more serious, we should arrange a plan later when it arrives" said Xiao Dong.
"Good dad"
