Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(178) To Destroy the Root and Branch, the Order to Kill

In the depth of the night.

Inside Moon Palace hall, a figure stood under the palace lamp. The figure was generously curved, so it was possible to recognize that it was a female figure. Moreover, it was a female with a very good figure.

The wind blew and blew open the thin palace dress, revealing the person's appearance inside.

It was Concubine Yue with a calm face that was restless.

She stood for a while as if she was waiting for someone.

Suddenly the candle flame flickered slightly. Concubine Yue couldn't help but close her eyes. When her eyes opened again, a black cloaked person had already appeared in front of her. He was covered by the cloak from head to toe, one couldn't tell his appearance or stature. One only felt that this person was very tall, but he exuded a gloomy aura full of death. Only when Concubine's gaze turned to him did the gloominess from his body disperse by a lot.

"At this time you ordered people to pass on for me to come. Do you have some important matter?" Neither age nor gender could be determined from the deep and low slightly hoarse tone, as if the voice was intentionally changed to be ambiguous.

Once she saw the person, Concubine Yue's face revealed a smile. "You came! I knew you would come."

"En." The cloaked person nodded. "But you are still too brazen. The palace is heavily guarded, it's best to still be careful first!" The cloaked person said.

"Based on your martial arts, entering and exiting the palace should cost no effort at all." Concubine Yue was unconcerned. Then she cut straight to the topic and said. "Xiao Xu had been dispatched to the Fu Li mountains to scout out a mine. What do you think of this matter?"

"It's nothing but to throw away one's life." The cloaked person carelessly replied.

"Throw away one's life?" Concubine Yue was puzzled.

"For so many years the Fu Li mountain range had accumulated heavy layers of snow. It's near the South nation's border. If there were mines, it would have already been completely excavated. How could it have waited until now?" The cloaked person stood with his hands behind his back, helping her analyze the situation.

"Then His Majesty's meaning is?" Concubine Yue was somewhat confused. Since there were no mines, then why let Xiao Xu go search for one? Suddenly, both of her eyes had a pleasantly surprised expression as she said. "Could it be that His Majesty wanted to send Xiao Xu away, then use this period to cultivate Ran'er's political influence? Let him follow him into the imperial court?"

The cloaked person nodded in slight agreement. "It's not completely that, one reason is to cultivate Ran'er. Wanting Xiao Xu to disappear from this earth is also another reason. But I feel there is still another reason. However right now, I still haven't found it from the investigation. I have no choice but to say that Western Xuan emperor is really good to you pair of mother and son. All of his thoughts were spent on you guys' bodies."

"How to let Xiao Xu disappear?" Concubine Yue immediately asked. Right now she was most concerned about this. Xiao Xu was the thorn in her eyes and flesh. She must remove him as soon as possible!

"Do you know why the news of him going to seek for a mine in Fu Li mountains is known by everyone?" The cloaked person asked.

"It can't be because his Majesty sent people to spread it?" Concubine Yue shook her head. Although His Majesty didn't like Xiao Xu, he still wasn't vicious to that degree.

"Western Xuan Emperor didn't give the command, but he knew someone would go and do it. Those that are jealous of Xiao Xu, those that couldn't co-exist with Liang family, these people would all go do it. This way, everyone under the sun knows that there are mines in Fu Li mountains. Those that had ambition for the royal family. Those profiteers that want to become rich and powerful. Those bandits that are not afraid of death. All of them would turn their gaze toward Fu Li Mountains and become restless. At that time, Fu Li mountains would become a slaughterhouse!"
