In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the Eighth Prince did not know what happened in the court because he had never gone to court.

But when he learned that the emperor had beheaded more than a dozen high-ranking officials in one day, there was no movement for a while.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Wang Shun saw that his master's face was slightly pale, and he couldn't help but become worried.

If something happens to the Eighth Prince at this time, then the slaves like them will not end up well.

With Rong Jiao's temperament, how could they live a stable life.

Fortunately, the Eighth Prince is still here in the Eighth Prince's Mansion now. If the Prince were gone...

Wang Shun didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he carefully handed the tea cup to the eighth prince's hand.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to call a doctor for you?"

Hearing Wang Shun's voice, the Eighth Prince came back to his senses.

"No need, find Auntie Rong."

Wang Shun was stunned. Although he didn't know why the Eighth Prince wanted to find Aunt Rong now, he still nodded in agreement.

"Let's go now, little one."

Seeing Wang Shun leave, the Eighth Prince let out a sigh of relief.

What the emperor did this time had a great impact on him, and now most of the civil servants in the court are his.

Now that the emperor has killed so many people, doesn't it mean that his arm will be broken?

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.

Do you think it was the emperor himself who supported him to restrain the prince, and now he wants him to compromise?

Xuanyuan Jin was unwilling to accept it. They were all the sons of the emperor, and the prince was just a legitimate son. Why should they, the princes, become the prince's whetstone?

Thinking of the emperor's attitude towards him these days, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but tighten his fingers.

When he heard that the emperor was seriously ill, he thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to stand in that position.

But he never expected that the emperor was not seriously ill, but regained his energy and turned to attack the civil servants in the court.

Although he did not know who the emperor beheaded, the emperor's method was not intended to be a warning to the civil servants in the capital.

But if those civil servants were afraid of the emperor, would they still support him?

Xuanyuan Jin was unsure, and it was precisely because of this uncertainty that he became even more flustered.

Not only that, Xuanyuan Jin heard that he is still staying in the East Palace.

But this time, Xuanyuan has not moved, which makes Xuanyuan Jin a little disturbed.

And King Ling, what exactly did he find in Lin County?

Since that day, he handed over the matter to his subordinates and never took care of it again.

Now that such a thing is happening, he may consider the matter carefully.

If Prince Ling really found out about him, then all his years of hard work would be in vain.

Xuanyuan Jin was a little troubled. If he could get the support of the military commander at this time, things would be much easier to handle.

Now in this great Zhou Dynasty, the Wang family has the most prestige in the army.

But now that he has separated from Wang Min, will the Wang family still help him?

What made Xuanyuan Jin even more panicked was Liu Ding. He had indeed sent people to guard the Liu Mansion before.

But despite this, they still didn't notice anything unusual about Liu Ding.

It would be better if no one from the palace intervened in this matter. If someone from the palace did intervene in this matter...

Xuanyuan Jin didn't dare to think about it any more, so he took a sip of tea and tried to calm down.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is here."

At this moment, Wang Shun's voice sounded outside the door.

Xuanyuan Jin said: "Let her come in."

Rong Jiao didn't expect that she could come out of the small square courtyard at this time.

But no matter what the reason was, she had to seize this opportunity.

But we can't let that bitch seduce the Eighth Prince's heart again.

"My concubine pays my respects to the prince."

Rong Jiao blessed herself slightly and bowed to Xuanyuan Jin.

Xuanyuan Jin was in a hurry at this time and could not care about etiquette.

He raised his hand and said, "Jiao'er, get up. Have you heard about what happened in the court today?"

Rong Jiao was stunned. She didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jin would ask her about the court affairs so directly.

She was a little happy in her heart. Doesn't this prove that she is still very important in the heart of the Eighth Prince?

But when she saw Xuanyuan Jin's tired and panicked eyes, she realized something was wrong.

"My lord, you also know that I have been grounded these days. I don't know anything about the affairs in the palace."

Thinking of Rong Jiao's current situation, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"Today, my father killed more than a dozen officials in the court and beheaded them at Caishikou. He even posted a notice telling the world about their crimes."

Rong Jiao was stunned for a moment when she heard Xuanyuan Jin's words.

Based on her understanding of the emperor over the years, the emperor is still a person who cherishes his reputation.

Even for the sake of his own reputation, he would rather turn a blind eye and be a fool.

But now the emperor suddenly goes on a killing spree. Why is this?

"Jiao'er, what do you mean by father?"

Rong Jiao's eyes flashed, "My lord, you don't have to worry. Your Majesty killed those people because they were too rude."

Xuanyuan Jin frowned tightly when she thought about what Wang Shun reported about the palace affairs today.

Although he felt that the emperor did not behead those people because of this incident, the people who came back to report did say that those people were blatantly rude to the emperor in the main hall.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince's expression softened, Rong Jiao stepped forward and stood behind Xuanyuan Jin.

Her fingers gently massaged Xuanyuan Jin's temples, relaxing his tense state.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not asked you about this matter yet, which means that His Majesty does not doubt you. Even if some people are caught and beheaded, it doesn't matter."

Xuanyuan Jin looked slightly startled, "How do you say this?"

Rong Jiao chuckled lightly, "My lord, have you forgotten? When I wanted to visit those people before, they all refused."

"Even if your Majesty finds out about this matter, he won't find any connection between you and those people, so he won't doubt you."

Xuanyuan Jin was stunned. When Rong Jiao sent people to visit the homes of those aristocratic families and high officials one by one, there were very few people willing to help them.

Now that something like this happened, even if the emperor tried to deal with them, he would not be able to find anything on them.

Xuanyuan Jin, who was tense just now, calmed down now.

"Jiao'er is right. Those people closed their doors and were unwilling to cooperate with us. Now it's a good thing."

Thinking that he had not been able to successfully cooperate with those people before due to volume love, he felt a little unhappy and felt that Rong Jiao was useless.

But now that something like this happened, Xuanyuan Jin's heart was filled with joy.

Fortunately, they didn't get too involved with those people at the beginning, otherwise he might be implicated now.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jin finally relaxed a little.
