Chapter 47: The Remnant Sun Gate

  The war ended in a way that no one could have imagined.

  The war is over, but those who participated in it cannot calm down!

  Ye Shuo's words before he left made it clear to everyone that once his brothers recovered from their injuries, revenge would inevitably follow.

  Perhaps this revenge, these individuals can be accepted, but who can guarantee that the three brothers will definitely come in a fair and honest manner.

  That's still not the most important thing!

  Three family elders, will they ignore this matter?

  If they have achieved their intended purpose, then so be it. Anyway, there is no evidence, what can you do?

  But now, the three of them have left safely. Although the key figures have not appeared yet, it's not difficult to find out some people with Ye Shuang's cleverness and the power behind the three families!

  The only way to clear up this matter seems to be to kill them all. However... more than a dozen top-notch martial artists, that's something even the imperial family wouldn't dare to do, let alone any of the great aristocratic families in the capital.

  In the depths of the palace, in a certain palace, Princess Xuan Ling sat quietly. Now that she was surrounded by her trusted people, there was no need to pretend to be an idiot.

  She was quietly dressed in a pale yellow long shirt, with three thousand strands of hair casually scattered down, showing a lazy state. However, that innate elegance and fragrance could not be concealed.

  "Your Highness!"

  The palace gate was pushed open and a young masked woman walked in quickly.

  "It's all done." Princess Xuan Ling slowly sat up, looking at the person who came in and smiled.

  The masked woman nodded and said: "As the princess ordered, I sent the three of them to the King's mansion at midnight, and then came back. I didn't even meet with the old king."

  "Good..."

  "Your Highness, I don't understand. Whether it's Chen Ye or Ye Shuo and Tie Yi Tian, they should all be enemies of the Great Huaxia Empire. Why do you still want to save them?"

  An old man beside Princess Xuan Ling shouted out loud.

  Xuan Ling Gongzhu smiled and said: "Eldest Senior Sister, you and Xuan Lao explain it!"

  The masked woman said: "When I arrived, Old Wang Ye, Ye Wudi and Tie Feilong already knew that the three of them were surrounded."

  "That is to say, if I didn't let Master Sister lend a hand, the three of us wouldn't have been in trouble. Since that's the case, why shouldn't I accept this favor?"

  Xuan Ling Gongzhu stretched her waist and revealed a beautiful smile, saying: "Sheng Lao, you naturally said it right, these three people are theoretically enemies of the Great Hua Empire. However, it's just theoretical, if one day the Great Hua Empire is ruled by me, Sheng Lao thinks that with my relationship with Chen Ye, will this grudge be worth mentioning?"

  "What?" The old man named Xuan Lao was stunned.

  Xuan Ling Gong Zhu smiled faintly, as if reminding and warning at the same time: "Xuan Lao, never look down on others. Even if these people seem insignificant in your eyes, like ants, but if you're careless, ants can also kill an elephant."

  The old man's face turned slightly red, but he still spoke with a tone of discontent: "Your Highness is right, but now, if the Emperor steps up his pressure and forces the Chen family to be desperate, once a fierce war breaks out, even if Your Highness controls the Great Hua Empire, the hatred and resentment will not be easily resolved."

  Upon hearing this, Princess Xuan Ling smiled cunningly and said: "That's why I've already ordered someone to send a letter to the eldest prince, asking him to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. With the eldest prince intervening, things will become much more complicated, and Father Emperor will also have to restrain himself somewhat."

  At this point, Princess Xuan Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold and she said in a chilly tone: "In the Imperial Capital, there are still some people who think they can muddy the waters and get away with it. Do they really think that I haven't noticed?"

  "Your Highness!" The masked woman said softly: "When I took the three of us away from Chen Ye, we met someone who should be a master of Can Yang Men."

  "Zanyang Gate?" Xuan Lao's face suddenly changed color.

  Princess Xuan Ling coldly smiled and said: "In the Imperial Capital, a mysterious expert has been hiding in the shadows. This palace had long suspected that it must be someone from Canyang Gate..."

  "Your Highness, I'll go kill him," Xuan Lao hastily said.

  "No need!" Princess Xuan Ling waved her hand and said, "The people of the Residual Sun Sect have already found a suitable person. Even if they kill that person, the Residual Sun Sect will still send out other powerful experts. At that time, it would only expose you instead, and this palace would also be unable to remain calm."

  "Let him stay in the Imperial City then. Now that we know of his existence, he is no longer a concern. What this palace is worried about..."

  "Your Highness is worried, but what about Long Sun?"

  Xuan Ling Gongzhu nodded and said, "The existence of the Can Yang Men is something you all understand better than I do. The fact that Long Sun Ran was able to catch their attention and they sent such a powerful expert to guard him means he must have some extraordinary abilities. If my guess is correct, today's actions were orchestrated by Long Sun Ran himself."

  "Chang Sun-ah, you think to borrow the hands of my second brother, to provoke a great war between our imperial house and the Chen family, and then you plan to reap the benefits as a fisherman in the middle... You can forget it, I absolutely will not let you succeed."

  "How ridiculous, Second Brother. Thinking himself clever and wise, he's fallen into someone else's trap without even realizing it. If anything happens to the three of us tonight, do you think there won't be any evidence? Do you think Old Master Wang and the others will be able to suppress their anger?"

  Xuan Ling Gongzhu let out a soft sigh: "Father, as the ruler of a country, you have to consider all aspects and naturally have some concerns when doing certain things. But Old Master Wang and his family are only protecting their own household; how could you not think of this difference?"

  After a moment of silence, Princess Xuan Ling spoke up and asked: "Eldest Senior Sister, how are Chen Ye and the others injured?"

  "Although injured, it is not a fatal wound."

  "That's good."

  "It's not that simple." The masked woman said in a condensed voice: "From my brief observation and contact, I think that today, even if Old Wang and the others can't make it, and I'm not able to make it either, Chen Ye and the three of them can still leave alive. At most, only Chen Ye himself will have to endure some greater pain."

  "Big sister, what does this mean?" Princess Xuan Ling's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, with a deep shock!

  Without external forces, the three of them, Chen Ye and San, were all injured and still wanted to escape, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream. If they couldn't even keep the three of them from escaping, then Changsun Ran wouldn't be worthy of being valued by the Zanyang Gate. And as for Xuan Ling Gongzhu, who thought she could help the second prince ascend to the throne, wasn't she also too incompetent?

  However, Princess Xuan Ling deeply believed in the masked woman's words!

  Time flew by quickly, and the Chen, Ye, and Tie families were all quiet and peaceful, without any unusual movements, as if the incident of Chen Ye and San being ambushed had never happened.

  Under the command of the second prince, countless scouts guarded the three families day and night, hoping to find some clues, so that he could make preparations. However, there was not a single movement!

  Everyone was intimidated by this unusual calmness and felt uneasy. They all thought that this might be the calm before the storm.

  In the blink of an eye, three days have passed!

  Chen's family, Ye's family, and even Tie's family were each presented with an imperial edict, and they were escorted in with great fanfare.
