Douluo: My martial spirit can summon the heavens

Chapter 177 Prince Snow Star is Dead

"I want to visit Uncle Wang, and I want the housekeeper to show me the way."

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, the housekeeper immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

He was very aware of the deep hatred between Prince Xuexing and the Crown Prince. Xuexing was now suffering from a stroke and hemiplegia, mostly due to Xue Qinghe.

If Xue Qinghe is brought in now and Prince Xue Xing sees it, he might be immediately angry to death.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry. The prince has already rested. The royal doctor has ordered that the prince rest and must not be disturbed."

The butler excused himself.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb Uncle Wang. I'll leave after just one look." Qian Renxue showed a gentle smile.

"Your Highness, this..."

The housekeeper's forehead was sweating anxiously, and he wanted to prevaricate a few more words.

"What? Do you think I came to visit Uncle Wang to harm him?"

Qian Renxue was determined to meet this "good uncle" today. She glared and scolded in a majestic voice.

Although Xue Qinghe has an elegant and gentle face, after all, he has been in a high position for a long time, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to resist when he is really angry.

"The villain dare not, the villain dare not."

The housekeeper nodded and bowed repeatedly, and then led Qian Renxue and Wang Bin into the mansion.

"Things that give shame to the face."

Qian Renxue murmured something in a low voice. The old butler in front of her trembled visibly. She paused and then continued forward. Although she felt aggrieved, she did not dare to say anything.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Prince Snow Star's bedroom. At this time, Prince Snow Star's three wives and four concubines were all surrounding the bed, crying.

"Madam, the Crown Prince is here."

The housekeeper informed, and a plump woman sitting by the bed immediately stood up, wiped her tears and looked at Xue Qinghe.

"His Royal Highness."

"My nephew has met my aunt." Qian Renxue gave a slight salute and then walked towards the bed.

Xuexing was naturally not asleep. When he heard the housekeeper say that the prince was coming, he woke up immediately.

"Uncle Wang, my nephew is here to visit you. He is very worried when he heard that you suffered a stroke and was paralyzed."

Qian Renxue's acting skills are indeed good, and the worried look on her face doesn't look fake at all.

"Wow, woohoo..."

Looking at Xue Qinghe's face, Xue Xing immediately trembled with fear and wanted to say something, but his mouth and eyes were crooked and he couldn't hear the words clearly.

"Uncle Wang, don't be too excited. You must take good care of your health and get well as soon as possible. The aunts are very worried about you."

Xue Qinghe reached the bedside and reached out to pat Xue Xing's wrist.

Xuexing seemed to feel something, his pupils shrank, and the look of panic in his eyes intensified. He tried desperately to move his arms, but he couldn't control them at all, and tears of despair flowed down uncontrollably.

"Uncle Wang, I know what you want to say. Don't worry. I will definitely send someone to take care of the palace while you are recovering from illness. I will take good care of your aunts. Just relax."

Xue Qinghe had a serious expression on his face, but a cold and evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Others only noticed Xue Qinghe's sincerity and thought that this prince really valued love and justice.

Only Xue Xing's mind was filled with Xue Qinghe's cold evil smile. When he thought of Xue Qinghe's words, his blood instantly surged into his brain. He rolled his eyes and drew away.

"Doctor, go call the doctor!"

When the princess saw this, she was so frightened that she panicked and exclaimed.

Qian Renxue sneered in her heart, stood up and gave her seat to the doctor, then said goodbye to the princess and left.

When they were going out, Qian Renxue and Wang Bin noticed a figure flashing past the corner. Although the speed seemed very fast, they both discovered the other's identity.

The fourth prince's avalanche.

Now that Prince Xue Xing has fallen, Xue Beng no longer has anyone to rely on, and he does not pose much of a threat to Qian Renxue.

On the contrary, if Qian Renxue wanted his life, it was just a matter of words.

Qian Renxue and Wang Bin drove back to Tiandou Academy. On the way, Qian Renxue opened her palm and handed Wang Bin a needle as thin as an ox hair.

"Master, is this poison really not going to be discovered?"

Just now, when Qian Renxue sat by the bed and patted Xuexing's wrist, she was actually pricking him with this ox-hair needle. Xuexing felt something, but was unable to speak and could not tell others.

"When did I say this needle was poisonous?" Wang Bin chuckled and took back the needle.

"The needle is not poisonous? Then you asked me just now..."

Qian Renxue was a little surprised. It was Wang Bin's instruction to prick Xuexing with a needle.

"There is indeed something else on this needle, but it is not poison, but a tonic. The effect of this medicine is to speed up the blood flow. With Xuexing's current state, there is no need to poison at all and his life will be in danger at any time."

"Xue Xing's stroke was self-inflicted. Later, he died due to a ruptured blood vessel. It was also his own fault. It had nothing to do with you and me. Isn't this perfect?" Wang Bin chuckled.

"Master is worthy of being a master, and I admire you very much."

Qian Renxue smiled slightly and nodded.

If Xue Xing was assassinated and died, then Emperor Xue Ye would definitely order a thorough investigation if a prince died. After that, troops would inevitably be mobilized, and something might go wrong if he was not careful.

But if Xue Xing himself died of illness, then Emperor Xue Ye would at most feel a little sorry, and then the matter would end there.

Xue Beng may know that Xue Qinghe is the cause of Xue Xing's illness, but he will never take the initiative to go to Emperor Xue Ye and tell him that because Xue Xing failed to assassinate Xue Qinghe and was worried about retaliation, he probably scared himself every day and caused the illness.

Although Xue Beng is a bit of a trick, he certainly can't do such a stupid thing like throwing himself into a trap.

Not two days after returning to the academy, news of the death of Prince Snow Star came as expected.

The cause of death was naturally death from disease.

Emperor Xue Ye ordered Prince Xue Xing to be buried with dignity. At the funeral of Prince Xue Xing, the person who cried the most was none other than the fourth prince Xue Beng. Those who knew it were because he had a good relationship with Xue Xing. Those who didn’t know thought he was Xue Xing. Xing's biological son.

Xue Xing's death meant that Xue Beng and Xue Qinghe were no longer able to win the battle for the heir.

Many of the original ministers of the Xue Beng camp were willing to be loyal because of Prince Xue Xing. It was impossible for Xue Beng, a complete waste, to attract loyalists.

Now that Prince Xue Xing died, it can be said that the tree fell and the monkeys dispersed. These people turned against each other one after another. Xue Qinghe's power grew instantly, even making Emperor Xue Ye feel a little secretly frightened.

No one is not obsessed with power. Although he has made up his mind to pass the throne to Xue Qinghe in the future, he does not intend to retire so early now.

Xue Qinghe was so powerful now that he was really worried that Xue Qinghe would not be satisfied with his position as prince that day and came to ask him for the throne.

Since ancient times, emperors have to be good at checks and balances. Xue Beng is far worse than Xue Qinghe in every aspect, but over the years, the two forces have been able to compete with each other, and Emperor Xue Ye has also contributed a lot in this.

It's a pity that this balance has been completely broken now.
