Chapter 1847

~10 min read 1,903 words

Su Xiao put away the black crystal, and the image disappeared. The little duke, who hadn't spoken, came back to his senses, looking clearly somewhat reluctant to let go.

"This kind of thing cannot be verified by a fakeable image and a few words. Besides, Duke Kuku Lin, the previous question hasn't been discussed clearly. The one qualified to appear in the Imperial Council is Princess Pedera, not you. The invitation from the four of us was also for Princess Pedera. This point... is very important."

Bloomer was clearly prepared to brush off Duke Silver Feather's matter. The four of them were now united against outsiders.

"That's right. This kind of thing is just talk without proof. As for finding Maggie Villy to verify, that is an insult to Duke Silver Feather and Ms. Maggie's character."

Princess Sayeto also strongly supported Duke Silver Feather. At the same time, she looked at the little duke and found that the little duke's gaze was wandering, so she knocked on the council table in front of her.

"Ah? Oh, hmm, yes, right."

The little duke came back to his senses, his butt on the chair shrinking backward. This child was clearly a bit precocious.

"Sayeto is right. This is an insult to my and my sister's character. Kuku Lin, you wouldn't be planning to have my sister come here to prove it, would you? What kind of absurd things are you thinking about in your head?"

Duke Silver Feather was clearly not easy to deal with. Finding that Su Xiao was serious, he immediately bit back. As for having his sister come here to prove whether she was pregnant, that was impossible.

"Duke Silver Feather, how do you know what I'm going to do?"

Su Xiao snapped his fingers as he spoke. Several soldiers entered from the main entrance of the hall, and Number 10, wearing full black armor, followed behind. He made thumping sounds when walking.

"Someone!"

Princess Sayeto shouted, but not a single Holy City garrison soldier rushed into the hall. A total of 900 elite soldiers were dragging those Holy City garrison soldiers.

Today, if Duke Silver Feather didn't 'go into the oil pan', Su Xiao would write his name backward from now on.

"You..."

Bloomer, that old and cunning guy, immediately thought of something, looking at Su Xiao with astonishment.

These four had a wrong concept, which was that power struggles must be within the system, and even assassinations must be in the dark.

Su Xiao wouldn't talk about this set with these power-grabbers. If he could kill one, it would be equal to one less competitor. As for the throne, his goal was to find the rule-breaker and the Dead Silence City, so as to obtain the last piece of the Black King set.

These four power-grabbers were deeply rooted in the imperial system. To push one down, he didn't know how big a pile of soil (officials) he would have to dig up. And Su Xiao's current method was to saw it off from the root. As for the counterattack of the root system below, what Su Xiao feared most was assassination.

Several soldiers brought a woman wearing a blue dress and luxurious makeup into the hall. She was Maggie Villy.

"Kuku Lin, are you sure you want to do this?"

Princess Sayeto examined Su Xiao with a half-smile. Things had developed to this extent, it must be a lose-lose situation. And even if Duke Silver Feather had adultery with his sister, Duke Silver Feather wouldn't die because of this. As for being stripped of his royal identity, Duke Silver Feather's supporters wouldn't betray him just because of this.

"Very sure."

Su Xiao's plan had already been two-thirds completed, and it was still going smoothly.

"..."

"..."

Bloomer and Sayeto both had expressions of having eaten dog shit.

"Whether Maggie Villy is guilty or not is not something I can judge alone. Everyone here is also a witness. No matter what, Maggie Villy is a royal. I have no right to threaten her personal safety. Fortunately, judging whether a person is pregnant is not difficult."

Su Xiao hooked his fingers, and a soldier stepped forward quickly. Su Xiao whispered something to this soldier.

Soon, three doctors with blank faces walked into the council hall.

"The three of them are very famous doctors in the Holy City. You won't doubt their judgment, right? One of them is even a light-type transcendent."

"..."

This time, Sayeto and Bloomer didn't speak.

"The three of you, today's matter concerns the imperial law. You must make an absolutely fair judgment, especially Dr. Nois. As a light-type transcendent, lies are absolutely strange things to you."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the three doctors looked at each other, and for a moment, none of them moved.

Zheng~

A bright long sword was unsheathed. Under helplessness, the three had to walk toward Maggie Villy. A moment later.

"I can't be sure."

One doctor shook his head and retreated. Seeing this, another doctor also shook his head and retreated.

"I feel that a new life is gestating."

Dr. Nois spoke in a deep voice. Most light-type transcendents were stubborn donkeys. The difficulty of making them lie was no less than killing them.

Obtaining this result, Sayeto and Bloomer both looked at Duke Silver Feather in surprise.

"I want to bring in doctors I trust to identify it."

Bloomer spoke. Today's matter clearly couldn't be brushed off. Sayeto had the same opinion.

Soon, the doctors they trusted arrived. They didn't announce the results they obtained, just whispering something in their ears.

"Duke Silver Feather, you should let your sister be more careful."

Bloomer sighed. He wasn't admitting that Duke Silver Feather had an affair with his sister. The doctor couldn't prove that the child in Maggie Villy's belly was Duke Silver Feather's.

"How could you..."

Duke Silver Feather looked at his sister with heartbreak. Maggie Villy bit her lip tightly, and her breathing gradually accelerated.

Ding~

A dagger was slashed away. Maggie Villy held her wrist and staggered back a few steps. The suicide attempt failed.

"What a farce."

The little duke spoke in an old-fashioned way. He had just recovered from the 'new world door'.

"So, there really is such a thing. Silver Feather, it seems I misunderstood you. Presumably, the one who had adultery with your sister is not you."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, took out that black crystal from his bosom, and threw it onto the council table in front of Duke Silver Feather.

Although Duke Silver Feather was also an extremely intelligent person, for a moment, he really didn't think about what Su Xiao was going to do.

Duke Silver Feather threw the black crystal to the ground, and with a bang, the crystal shattered.

"Regarding the origin of this thing, I will explain it to you clearly later."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke, with a smile on his face.

"Then thank you."

When Duke Silver Feather said this, he wished he could slap himself a few times, but his sister was indeed pregnant, so he had to say so.

"Since this matter has nothing to do with Duke Silver Feather, let's talk about Maggie Villy's problem. A royal having a child out of wedlock, although it can't be considered a violation of imperial law, it's not a glorious thing either. And who the other party is, is a question worth exploring."

Su Xiao changed the subject and no longer pursued Duke Silver Feather's problem.

Several soldiers exited the hall. In less than half a minute, dozens of Holy City garrison soldiers rushed into the hall.

Duke Silver Feather in his seat had an extremely ugly face, but soon, a servant in a hurry entered the hall and whispered something in Duke Silver Feather's ear. Duke Silver Feather's face gradually eased. Maggie Villy had been protected, and in less than half an hour, Maggie Villy would be sent out of the Holy City.

Duke Silver Feather felt relieved all over. His sister had been sent away, the human evidence had disappeared, and the crystal had been shattered by him, the physical evidence had disappeared. But even so, he was still secretly uneasy in his heart, as if some bad things were about to happen.

Puchi!

Drops of blood sprayed out. Duke Silver Feather looked down at his chest. A dagger was inserted into his heart. He looked at the servant he trusted most, and the servant was also full of astonishment.

"Du, Duke? I, I..."

The servant retreated a few steps. His pupils, which seemed to have flames burning, gradually returned to normal, and a black energy gradually dissipated.

At this time, Su Xiao's hand was hidden in his sleeve, and the 【Demon Jar】 was held in his hand. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had let the servant absorb the demon power unintentionally in three times, and the effect was very significant, allowing Su Xiao, who held the Demon Jar, to control the servant in a short time. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had integrated into the environment, only needed to hand over the dagger, a dagger quenched with alchemical poison.

Before the servant could recover, a long halberd pierced through his body.

"Don't kill him!"

Princess Sayeto shouted, and the remaining Holy City garrison soldiers immediately stopped.

Three pairs of eyes looked at Su Xiao at the same time, with wariness, anger, and solemnity.

Sayeto stepped forward a few steps and pinched the servant's neck, as easily as picking up a small chicken.

A burst of crimson energy invaded the servant's body. The servant's pupils turned crimson, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

"Who instigated you."

"Ha, hahaha, no one, instigated me, ha ha, why would I assassinate the Duke, it wasn't me, I didn't do that."

The servant's expression became more and more agitated.

"Where did the dagger come from."

"No, don't know, I haven't done bad things, those things were the Duke's orders, it has nothing to do with me, the deaths of those 106 women have nothing to do with me, I haven't done it."

The servant's expression became more and more sluggish, and Princess Sayeto threw him aside.

"Kuku Lin, today's matter cannot end here."

Sayeto pulled over a metal chair weighing more than three hundred catties and sat beside Su Xiao, her red pupils staring closely at Su Xiao's side profile.

"What did I do?"

Su Xiao rested one arm on the chair armrest and turned his head to meet Sayeto's gaze.

"You before..."

Sayeto just wanted to question Su Xiao, but she was surprised to find that although everyone could guess that Duke Silver Feather's assassination was done by Su Xiao, where was the evidence?

Say that Su Xiao pointed out Duke Silver Feather's adultery with his biological sister, but this matter was turned over at a critical moment. Su Xiao didn't pursue this matter at all, didn't make a fuss about Maggie Villy and the fetus in her belly, but let Duke Silver Feather's people take Maggie Villy away.

In this matter, Su Xiao could at most be said to have exposed Maggie Villy's scandal. There was no actual personal injury at all. And Su Xiao's soldiers even prevented Maggie Villy's suicide attempt.

Moreover, Su Xiao wasn't someone they could catch just because they wanted to. 540,000 troops were all under Su Xiao's command.
