Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Black Princess 5: The Death of Consort Mo Jiao

When he reached the market, Li Wei dragged Hua into a restaurant. Usually Li Wei could only pass through this place whenever he took a walk. The reason was of course because he could not visit this place with the servants and bodyguards who usually followed him. There he will disrupt activity in the market.

It's not funny that while eating here, everyone keeps their heads down because of my presence.

But now he's undercover, so he won't be afraid if anyone recognizes him. After sitting on one of the wooden benches, Li Wei immediately raised his hand. Hua only watched in silence.

It's typical of that guy not to talk much. So that Li Wei did not bother about all that either. Then, the girl ordered some dishes for herself and Hua.

Although ... Well, the only one eating was Li Wei.

"No need to be shy, Mr. Hua. Think of it as eating with your own money" Li Wei said casually.

Hua simply sipped her tea in peace and well-being.

"Are you playing back so you can be a teacher there?" li Wei asked without further ado.

His voice was loud enough that several people sitting near them were listening. Although they did not understand what Li Wei and the quiet man in front of him were talking about, but he only knew that Li Wei had a 'fast' mouth'. After all, would anyone dare to ask a frontal question like that?

But the one who spoke aloud did not even know he was biting at the flesh in his hand. It seemed like Li Wei was quite enjoying this time of his walks. Especially getting free food.

Well, it's not free like it. I had to sell my pet chicken to make money.

Her mother the Empress had also never given Li Wei any money. More precisely the money and jewelry did belong to Li Wei, but he never kept them. Everything was arranged by the maid, and Li Wei only needed to live like a beautiful rose. Unfortunately, girls alone this seeds are more difficult to monitor than to maintain subtle creatures.

That was the origin of Li Wei who was the son of the King, but never carried money in his pocket.

Alright. Back again to Li Wei who was still trying to get Hua to talk. This time Li Wei divided his bread in two. The only one he put on his plate, and the rest pad the plate in front of Hua.

"After all, I think you don't like the Kingdom very much" said Li Wei who looked at Hua seriously.

Hua raised next to his eyebrows. "I just went back to training, and graduated."

"My point is why take the training again? Usually you don't care about things like 'this'?" li Wei asked as she rubbed her greasy lips. Maybe Li Wei was too savage before.

"Just because you want to have something."

Hearing Hua's reply, Li Wei simply nodded his head. As if to understand, even though he did not understand what this man meant. Li Wei did not feel the need to know what others wanted.

Let others achieve what they want. Without needing to be spoken to anyone, Li Wei was confident Hua would strive to get what she wanted. Li Wei somehow believed that Hua had determination.

Just as Li Wei picked up his chopsticks again, and picked up the food on the table, a small knife appeared before him. He headed towards his chopsticks, and split the wooden chopsticks used by Li Wei. Even the girl had to rewind her head so as not to be hit 'kissed' by that cruel blade.

I haven't even finished eating ....

Hua who wanted to get up from her seat immediately came to a halt when she saw Li Wei gesturing for her to stop. However, Li Wei knew very well how great Hua was in fighting. So in this case Hua does not need to interfere.

Because what came was ...

"So, you ran away from the palace because you wanted to meet this flat-faced man? How dare you build a relationship behind your mother's eyes!" That cruel voice was like a harbinger of a war drum.

Without even looking at the perpetrator, Li Wei already knew who was coming.

One of the most powerful creatures on earth.

Who else if not the cruel Empress of King Li, Mother Li Wei.

Prince Li Jun walked with his own pride. So that he often raises his chin, and refuses to go low. The few disciples who passed by Li Jun paused for a moment to pay their respects. And, Li Wei only responded with a nod of his head.

Behind him was followed by a butcher-like-faced bodyguard in the market. Perhaps if a little child saw his fierce face, they would be traumatized. A bodyguard should be like that.

"Where is Consort Mo?" li Jun asked in a haughty tone.

The man had just finished conducting the examination at Cloud Training. After all Li Jun was a person in charge of Cloud Training. He had to make sure all the disciples and Cloud Coach's rules were still going as set out.

"Before Consort Mo was walking around, Prince. I think the concubine is in the front building" replied the bodyguard firmly.

Li Jun nodded his head. The two headed to the front building of the Cloud Training without any premonition. However, when they got to the front building, Li Jun realized that there was a crowd.

The man frowned. Especially when he saw a teacher, who usually taught politics, approaching them. In the middle of the crowd, Li Jun did not see the presence of Ling Xiao, nor Hua.

Well, recently Li Jun received the news from Ling Xiao. That was one of the reasons why Li Jun had come to Cloud Training. Unfortunately, from Ling Xiao himself, Li Jun found out that Hua was out.

"Give all the Prince's humility to the servant. The servant's life is in the hands of the Prince" said the man in a very trembling tone.

Back to the teacher who looked cold sweaty. The middle-aged man even quivering instantly kowtowed before Li Jun. This made Li Jun signal his guards to check. This middle-aged teacher was too afraid to tell what was happening. So Li Jun had to see for himself what was going on.

SRETT!

When the man approached, the crowd opened a path. They looked down to pay their respects, and looked pale-faced. Like I've seen something scary. Coupled with Li Jun's arrival.

"What's wrong?" li Jun asked his bodyguard who was examining someone.

Somebody?

Li Jun looked at someone lying on the floor. There was a dab of blood all around him, and Li Jun knew all of it came from the huge wound on his back. It was obvious that this person was slashed from behind with a sharp object.

Murder.

It's just ...

Li Jun recognized the figure, albeit only from behind. Not to mention ... This is Cloud Training. There is no woman here, not even a teacher. After all, there was only one beauty who went into Cloud Training, but Li Jun knew that this dead person was not Li Wei.

Also, Li Wei was not in Cloud Training anymore.

"Prince, Consort Mo Jiao is dead" the bodyguard said.

Li Jun's eyes became sharp. He immediately headed towards the woman who was drenched in blood on the ground. Li Jun quickly turned it over. And, it is true that the one who died there was his concubine.

Concubine Mo Jiao even looked extremely shocked at the moment of her death. Maybe this poor woman didn't think her life would be over soon. Or, indeed he was killed suddenly, without being able to defend himself.

Li Jun stretched out his hand to close his companion's eyes.

Who would dare insult her by killing this Concubine. Even when Prince Li Jun was in the same place. This assassin was truly challenging Prince Li Jun.

Hearing Li Jun's question clearly no one dared to say anything. Then, Li Jun grabbed one of the disciples there randomly. Surely he grabbed the clothes of the disciple closest to him. Staring at him with a look like he wanted to kill.

"I asked ... How could this woman be killed in this place? Dan, you don't know!" li Jun snapped without caring about the fear of the person being spoken to.

Even the room where Concubine Mo Jiao's body was found was quite close to the study room. There was no way they could not hear Concubine Mo's scream, or even the noisy sound of this murderous act. Moreover, this room is a training equipment storage. Like straw dolls for archery practice, as well as weapons like swords, spears, and arrows.

"We just ... me. find Consort Mo under these circumstances, Prince. Moh ..on his humility. We don't know anything" said the person pulled by Li Jun stammeringly.

Seeing from his circumstances, Li Jun knew Consort Mo Jiao had just been killed. Even the blood that was flowing was still fresh, and his body had just cooled. Li Jun looked around them.

Then, the man threw the person he had pulled. Until the disciple sat down on the ground hard.

BRUK!

"Where is the servant who was with Consort Mo?" asked Li Jun who remembered that Consort Mo was always together with her personal servant. .

Li Jun's personal guards immediately checked around him. However, he did not find the servant girl. The bodyguard immediately reported. "The servant who was with Consort Mo Jiao was not around, Prince."

Did the servant run away?

"Find the waiter until he gets it. Also, ... Find out who the person who met Concubine Mo last time was," Li Jun ordered in a loud tone.

"soon!"

The bodyguard man paid his respects to Li Jun. "Okay, Prince."

Anyone who symbolizes a feud with him should get the same reply. That was what Li Jun was thinking.

Li Jun glanced briefly at Mo Jiao's pitiful corpse. After that, Li Jun intended to approach the woman who had just become his Concubine, but his steps came to a halt when he saw the new Ling Xiao coming. Li Jun shifted his gaze. Throw away everything he calls weakness, including his own love.

"Sorry for the delay, Prince Li Jun. Servant really did not expect that this would happen in the training warehouse room," Ling Xiao said with respect.

Ling Xiao knelt before the corpse of Consort Mo Jiao, and paid his respects as well. "Humans have plans for the future, but death is also part of the future."

It's part of life. How ironic.

Li Jun stared intently at Ling Xiao. "I'll talk about this in the High Court."

Ling Xiao obviously could not block Li Jun. Any murder like this needs to be followed up. From Concubine Mo Jiao's corpse, Ling Xiao could judge if this Concubine was slashed from behind. Someone killed him.

And, more than anything, it's a challenge. Instead of covering up his own deeds, this killer instead killed in a very simple way. Kill and escape.

There are only two possibilities.

First, this killer is amateur and frightened. So that he did not choose a place to kill, or try to cover up the death of Consort Mo Jiao. After killing, they immediately fled.

This most likely happened to the servant who followed Concubine Mo Jiao. That's if they find the waiter alive. Who could have guessed that the maid might have been dead as well. It's just put in a different place.

Then, the second possibility.

This was a way to challenge the kingdom, more precisely Li Jun.

Killing a Concubine, without fear of investigation. This killer may have deliberately killed like a very amateur, but that's where the game is. This assassin wanted to display how the kingdom could not even solve this problem.

Of course, all of that is just part of the possibility.

"Prince Li Jun, a disciple said that the last person Consort Mo Jiao met was General Wei Wuxie" said the bodyguard who had just returned.

Prince Li Jun understood his forehead. "Why is General Wei Wuxie in Cloud Training?"

A person who should have dabbled more in the kingdom's defense was at Cloud Training. That's not a strange thing. However, the Kingdom has rules, so the existence of a General also requires permission.

Li Jun remembered very well that there was no order from the Kingdom about this.

"Where is General Wei now?" li Jun asked with a sharp look.

This time Ling Xiao answered. "General Wei is back with an escort."

Moment ...

"Didn't Oracle Ling say that the guest who came was three people?" asked Li Jun again to be sure.

Li Jun of course heard that Ling Xiao had a guest coming. Although he did not know clearly who his guests were. So he only knew if the one who came was General Wei.

However, if Wei Wuxie was to return with a bodyguard, where was the other one?

"Capture Wei Wuxie with the two bodyguards that were with her," Li Jun ordered as he walked to return to the palace.

Li Jun only stared at the woman he loved for the last time. Loving is a natural thing. But for someone who is dead, it is better to be forgotten.

"Thus the woman, and pay her last respects before her soul goes to the sky," Li Jun once again said.

This time he asked Ling Xiao. And, the clairvoyant man calmly received the order.

"Well, Prince Li Jun."

Now ... One side begins to display the ugliness, so over time this ugliness continues to be.
