Sikong Yan and Sizha had already sent people to various counties and cities to recruit soldiers. Because of the tyrant's stupidity, the ministers did not talk about the palace, and the people were living in misery. The various forces in the palace were ready to make a move, but they never dared to act rashly. Concubine Wan was like a bond that quietly connected the forces in the palace. They were ready to go.

Early the next morning, as expected, a message was received via carrier pigeon from the palace.

The imperial teacher came in person to supervise the burial.

When more than ten people put Sikong Yan's stiff body into a large and exquisite square "wooden box", the national teacher smiled proudly and said, "Fortunately, I am smart. I made an extra-long silver needle. No matter how thick the coffin is, I can pierce it and stab the corpse."

Shui Qinglian turned her head and asked sadly, "Master, everyone is crying, why are you laughing?"

The Imperial Master immediately stopped smiling, feeling annoyed. This brat, if he doesn't speak, no one will think he's dumb. He said angrily with a cold face, "Which eye of yours saw me smile?"

"Two eyes!" Shui Qinglian pointed at her red and swollen eyes.

The Imperial Master was even more furious after being hit by Shui Qinglian. He widened his eyes and shouted, "You ungrateful thing, what did your master teach you on a daily basis? How dare you cause trouble for me at this important moment!"

Shui Qinglian was not to be outdone, and replied with her neck stiff, "Master, you are being unreasonable. You are obviously laughing, but you refuse to admit it. Everyone is so sad, but you are laughing secretly. What is your intention?"

The Imperial Master was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Humph, what do you, a young boy, know about the pain in my heart? I laughed? When did I laugh? Just don't cause me any trouble."

Shui Qinglian curled her lips, "Master, you are clearly smiling. No matter what, the little prince is still the emperor's son. I really can't understand your mentality."

The Imperial Master rolled his eyes and said, "You know nothing! I am just laughing at the fickleness of fate. Who could have thought that he would end up like this today?"

Shui Qinglian folded her hands in front of her chest and said, "Master, please stop fooling me. I think you have something to hide."

The Imperial Master was so angry that he raised his hand as if to hit Shui Qinglian, "You are such a rebel! How dare you talk to the Master like that!"

Shui Qinglian dodged nimbly, "Master, you can't hit me. If you have nothing to hide, don't be so angry."

The Imperial Master put down his hand, his face gloomy, "Alright, stop messing around here, you're delaying the important matter."

Shui Qinglian was not willing to give in. "Master, if you don't explain clearly today, I will never forgive you."

At this time, the people around couldn't help but look at him sideways. The Imperial Master felt embarrassed and said in a low voice, "You little brat, if you make trouble again, be careful that I will punish you when I get back."

Shui Qinglian snorted, "Who are you trying to scare? I'm not afraid. You must give me an explanation today."

The Imperial Master had no choice but to lean closer to Shui Qinglian's ear and whispered, "I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I thought that I could ask for a big reward from the Emperor after this matter is over, so I couldn't help laughing."

Shui Qinglian's eyes widened when she heard this. "Master, you are too selfish. For the sake of reward, you even abandon your conscience?"

The Imperial Master quickly covered Shui Qinglian's mouth and said, "Be quiet, you want to kill me!"

Shui Qinglian broke free, "Master, it's wrong for you to do this. I'm going to report you."

The Imperial Master panicked, "No, no, no, my disciple, I know I was wrong, please don't do anything rash."

Shui Qinglian looked at the flustered look of the Imperial Master and couldn't help laughing, "Master, let's see if you dare to do bad things again in the future."

The national teacher shook his head helplessly and said, "I dare not do that anymore. You little brat have really made me suffer so much." He could only be humble at this time, fearing that he would delay the important matter.

Xiao Lan'er sat in the cold prison van, shivering, her eyes fixed on Sikong who was also lying straight in the prison van not far away, her heart aching.

Her tears could not stop flowing, and she cried and sobbed, "Brother Yan, I'm sorry, Brother Yan...but sister said that you killed my parents. The hatred between my parents is irreconcilable! I am willing to be buried with them! Please don't hate me!" The cry echoed in the prison car, full of pain and despair.

At this time, Xiao Lan'er came over, glared at her fiercely and cursed: "Idiot! Brother Yan left the capital two months ago. May I ask when your parents died?" Xiao Lan'er's words were like a sharp sword, piercing her heart.

Xiao Lan'er's face was covered with tears. When she heard this, her heart was shocked.

She recalled what her sister said, her voice trembling as she said, "My sister told me this when she arrested me a month ago. She said she saw Brother Yan and his soldiers chop our parents into pieces yesterday."

This, it's obvious that his sister is lying to him! Her eyes are full of confusion and pain, and this young mind can't figure out the reason.

"Idiot, of course she is using you to achieve her goal! Brother Yan is the only prince, and your sister is one of the emperor's concubines!" Xiao Lanmei said angrily, her heart full of hatred for the vicious concubine.

Lan Xi's eyes were filled with tears and she asked with a sob, "But why did she come to me?" Her voice was full of helplessness and confusion.

"Because you look like the girl that Brother Yan was once engaged to!" Xiao Sizhe's voice came, but he didn't know that it was himself.

When Xiao Lan heard this, her eyes widened in shock, her face full of disbelief. "So that's how it is, no wonder?" she murmured to herself.

Suddenly, she touched her stomach in astonishment and shouted in panic: "I, I'm poisoned by the ruthless Gu! Why isn't it acting up?" Her voice was full of fear and confusion.

"That's just a trivial trick. The counterfeit guy has already lured it out and killed it!" Xiao Sizhe's tone was filled with disdain.

Xiao Lan'er was furious and said through gritted teeth: "Why do you want to save me? Let me die in pain!" Her heart was full of contradictions and pain, and she felt that her life had fallen into darkness.

Xiao Sizhe sneered and said, "You are still useful. It will be fun if we play with it slowly." There was a hint of cunning and mystery in his eyes, making it impossible to figure out his thoughts.

Xiao Lan looked at Xiao Sizhe, not knowing what would be waiting for her next. She only felt that fate was like a huge whirlpool that had drawn her deeply into it, unable to extricate herself.

And behind all this, there seems to be a huge conspiracy hidden, waiting for them to uncover.

The Imperial Master stood beside the dragon-wood coffin, glancing at the thick bedding in the coffin with a frown on his face. He muttered to himself that it was such a waste to cover a dead body with so many beddings.

So he opened his mouth wide and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, your highness, there is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful. Free up the quilt so that you can have more people on the road!" His hoarse voice sounded particularly harsh in this quiet space, and it was also a bit arrogant, and his "grunting" breathing sounds were clearly audible.
