CHAPTER 2232: CHAPTER 2232: ISN’T THAT TOO COINCIDENTAL?

He had not finished his words when he was fiercely glared at by Emperor Ziyan.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, this old servant has spoken out of turn."

He hurriedly and cautiously voiced his plea for mercy, yet there wasn’t much tension to be found in his eyes.

Because he was quite clear, Emperor Ziyan wouldn’t blame him for a mere sentence like that, as long as he stopped in time and acknowledged his mistake.

"Talk less in the future!"

Indeed, Emperor Ziyan merely withdrew his gaze and then continued walking forward.

...

On the morning of the second day, Emperor Ziyan returned to the palace, but the Feather Forest Guards remained in the imperial mausoleum.

Upon entering the palace, he received news that Yin Lvqing had been disabled in prison and had become a complete invalid.

This news completely shocked him.

How could someone in the prison have disabled Yin Lvqing’s spiritual power?

"Is this really the case?"

He asked the person who came to report the news.

Lately, what on earth has been happening? The destruction of the imperial mausoleum was already infuriating enough for him as the emperor.

Now, Yin Lvqing, who was locked in the mausoleum, had his spiritual power disabled by someone? How could that be possible? What are the guards in the prison doing, eating for free?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, an imperial physician has already gone to the prison to check the pulse of Eighth Prince, and it is true that the prince is completely devoid of spiritual power," said the person who came to report, cautiously looking up at Emperor Ziyan.

Perhaps it’s Ziyan Kingdom’s run of bad luck, but before the matter of the destroyed imperial mausoleum had passed, the Eighth Prince had suffered this misfortune.

He just hoped, Emperor Ziyan wouldn’t hold him accountable for this incident.

After all, he was in charge of the prison, and if he were directly accused of negligence, he wouldn’t just be skimmed of responsibilities, he would be severely punished.

Moreover, the one who had his spiritual power disabled was the Eighth Prince, Emperor Ziyan’s own son.

However, what he may not have anticipated was that Emperor Ziyan, always so suspicious, wasn’t concerned about how his son had his spiritual power disabled, but instead was thinking if the disabling of the spiritual power was too coincidental.

The imperial mausoleum had just uncovered intruders once more when Yin Lvqing had his spiritual power disabled in prison?

"Apart from his spiritual power being disabled, is there anything else?" Emperor Ziyan asked.

The minister was taken aback by the question, almost not comprehending what was asked.

To disable a high-ranking prince’s spiritual power wasn’t enough? What else could there possibly be?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, nothing else has been discovered," he could only reply like so.

But he thought to himself, with Yin Lvqing having his spiritual power lost, becoming a cripple, if there were anything else, could this Eighth Prince even live on?

What he didn’t consider was that Emperor Ziyan was asking if there were any other anomalies in the prison.

Upon hearing the minister say there was nothing else, Emperor Ziyan frowned even more displeased, feeling that it shouldn’t just be a mere coincidence.

Perhaps, it was deliberately orchestrated!

Yin Lvqing’s spiritual power was disabled, and on the same day, unidentified individuals appeared at the imperial mausoleum.

That must be a strategy employed by Yin Lvqing, intended to make his imperial father believe that the mausoleum incident wasn’t related to him.

"Heh, such scheming..."

He didn’t finish his thought, instead waving his hand at the minister, signaling him to step down.

The minister: "..."

With the Eighth Prince’s spiritual power disabled, are they really not going to let him leave the prison and return to the Eighth Prince’s Mansion?

After all, he had come asking on behalf of the Eighth Prince for the situation.
