In the entire evening, the imperial palace was very lively. Xu Ji Mo ordered the lockdown of the entire palace. No soul could enter and leave without the order of the emperor. Too bad, whatever he did, he could not find the a.s.sa.s.sins who ran away. Not a single clue remained. He was already fuming with anger. All he wanted was to kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.

His mind was filled with hatred and nothing else. Even when the news of Imperial Concubine Jin's miscarriage and the death of their child, the Emperor did not say much. Only his anger increased but he did not purse the matter. The investigation towards Imperial Concubine Jin's miscarriage could wait but killing those a.s.sa.s.sins could not.

A couple of s.h.i.+chen[1] already pa.s.sed, the moon was already replaced by the sun, but the a.s.sa.s.sins' shadows were still nowhere to be found.

Since Xu Ji Mo could not close down the imperial palace forever and lock those n.o.ble families and court officials inside, after the hour of horse[2] arrived, he allowed everyone to leave.

Two days pa.s.sed after the incident, the a.s.sa.s.sination was still the talk of the town. No matter how the imperial family tried to suppress the news, the entire country, including the commoners learned everything.

XuanRong was currently sitting inside her inner room when YuShen entered.

"What's the situation at XuanFei's side?"

"Reporting to XiaoJie, Third Young Miss' pregnancy is going smooth but Master and Mistress were still oblivious. They have thought that Third Young Miss already miscarried the child in her belly."

"En. Send someone in XuanFei's side. Select a fine young maid who would give her ideas. XuanLi and Xiao Lou wanted the child to die in order to avoid tarnis.h.i.+ng both the imperial family's and XiangFu's reputation. Even if XuanFei would not allow it, once those two learned that the child is still alive, they would definitely force XuanFei to abort it. Thus, you have to send someone and instill it in her mind that once the child is born, Xu Ji An would have no other choice but to marry her."

"Yes. This servant obeys."

YuShen curtsied and left the room.

While XuanRong was planning to use the child in XuanFei's belly, in a first-cla.s.s brothel at the center of the capital, Baili Chen was currently abusing a prost.i.tute.

"f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k!"

"P-please… P-please Y-Young Ma… Y-Young M-master B-Baili…I beg y-you… Ah!! Ah!!!"

A fair-skin woman was crying as she tried to curl her body. She was naked and her body was full of bruises.

"Shut the f.u.c.k up!! You, useless thing!!"

Baili Chen continued kicking the woman. He was beyond mad! His eyes were red as he glared at the young woman in front of him. His chest was moving up and down due to anger. It had been days since he frequently visited different brothels, but he found out that his third leg could no longer stand up. No matter what he did, it would remain soft.

Few minutes later, he stopped his action and sat on the chair.

"Stand up!"

The prost.i.tute weakly crawl towards Baili Chen.

"Suck it! Continue to suck it!!!"
