285: C285 The Prerequisite for Doing Something

C285 The Prerequisite for Doing Something

It seemed like Chu King was the ruler of the Imperial City, and the power of the king was unstoppable. However, the relationship in the Imperial City was so complicated that even Chu King could not handle it as he pleased.

Just like the Qin family, which was also related to the Xiong family, Prince Xiangyun Rang and his mother were still in a stable position in the Imperial Palace. If they were to be dealt with as they pleased, they might even be discussed.

Furthermore, the Qin family had already been decided to be a family of scholars in the early years. It had a very high reputation in the secular world, and many important officials in the court had a very close relationship with the Qin family.

If the Qin family was investigated by the Imperial Family because of Patriarch Xiong's words, even Chu King wouldn't be able to face the obstacles in the way.

The reason Hsiang Yunkong came back was to consolidate the authority of the royal family. If it really came to a critical moment, Hsiang Yunkong's power would be able to fight against the power that would cause criticism.

As for the rest of the matters, Chu King simply placed them on Ye Tian.

Although Chu King hadn't mentioned the pros and cons of this matter, Ye Tian wasn't a fool. Naturally, he knew how troublesome this matter was.

"Your Majesty, I am duty-bound to take care of this matter, but you should know that the Ye family has been pushed aside by all the major families ever since we entered the Imperial City. We didn't even have the chance to get close to the Qin family..."

"Furthermore, if something really happened, the Prince of Yun Rang would have a special status. I can't compare with him. In the end, the one who would be injured would be us, the Ye family..."

Ye Tian first agreed to the matter, then explained the various difficulties he faced. He didn't take action immediately.

Although Champion Marquis's title was given to him by Chu King, or even the status of a First Grade Marquis, in the Imperial City, he was considered a First Grade Marquis. He could call out many people of the same level. First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis, First Grade Marquis.

Qin family did not value a First Rank Marquis, and with the status of Xiangyun Rang and his mother, it was very likely that Ye Tian had offended Chu King.

When Ye Tian finished speaking, Chu King was first deep in thought, then he suddenly laughed.

"Ye Hou, I know you are in a difficult position. You can put this matter aside for now. When West Suppressing King returns, ask him to transfer a portion of the information to you. You and Yunjie will be in charge of this matter. This way, you won't be in a difficult position, right?"

Chu King was very experienced. He knew that Ye Tian didn't want to use too much of his power to deal with the Qin family. Even if he had the real evidence of the Qin family, he didn't want to do it alone.

Although Chu King was a little dissatisfied with Ye Tian's performance, he knew that it was impossible for him to get nothing out of Ye Tian.

As for the three thousand elite warriors that Hsiang Yunkong had brought back, it was precisely because of this that he gave some to Ye Tian. The rest of them could naturally defend the surroundings of the Imperial City.

"As for the matter of your Ye family, I think that after this storm is over, all the major families in the Imperial City will have a leader. At that time, I will have to trouble your Ye family to work hard..."

Chu King threw out a huge candied shell once again, wanting to entice Ye Tian.

However, Ye Tian knew that after this matter was over, there were still many things waiting for him. Chu King's scallion pancakes were not delicious.

After agreeing to everything, Ye Tian left the Imperial Palace and went to Hsiang Yunjie's side. He briefly told him what had happened in the Imperial Palace.

"You want us to take care of Second Elder Brother's men? We can't be careless about this!"

Hsiang Yunjie was very excited. After being silent for such a long time, the matter was getting more and more important, and it was getting closer and closer to the center of power.

They couldn't afford to be careless about these matters. Otherwise, there would be no place for them in the entire Imperial City. Even now, Ye Tian had already received the attention of some hidden forces.

Of course, Ye Tian understood that the current storm was the greatest. If he wasn't careful and was attacked by the enemy, the Ye family behind him would certainly be implicated.

Therefore, they couldn't afford to be careless about this matter. They had to be extremely cautious. They could only wait for Hsiang Yunkong to return.

Imperial City, Qin family.

What happened that day was imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Imperial City, causing them to be extremely shocked.

After learning about what happened in the Xiong family, Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang also came to the Qin family to inquire about some important matters.

After all, Xianyun Rang was still a prince and was also a member of the Crown Prince's gang. Although Hsiang Yunyang didn't attach much importance to Xianyun Rang's existence, after the appearance of the Devil Artifact, the whole situation had changed.

"Master of the Qin family, this matter isn't a joke. My connections in the palace told me that Patriarch Xiong has already told me everything about the Devil Artifact!"1

Hsiang Yunyang didn't have his usual calm expression. He looked very serious. It made Xiangyun Rang, who was standing at the side, feel uneasy. He didn't dare to relax at all.

On the other hand, the master of Qin family, Qin Yueming, was very calm. The white jade teacup in his hand was slowly heating up, as if he wasn't in a hurry.

The female concubine of Xiangyun Rang, Qin Yueyao, was sitting beside him. If no one had said anything, no one would have thought that this was Xiangyun Rang's mother. They would have thought that this was a 28-year-old girl.

"Yunyang, it is useless for you to ask my brother about this matter. For so many years, the Qin family has never participated in any evil or crooked ways. We have upheld the culture of the family. How would we know about the Devil Artifact..."

Qin Yueyao shook her head with a smile. It was indeed hard for people to relate such behavior to the relationship between the Qin family and the Devil Artifact and Devil Cultivator.

"Crown Prince, what little sister said is right. I don't even dare to get close to the new officials of the dynasty in recent years. What the Crown Prince said is true. Could it be that the Crown Prince really suspects that we have ulterior motives? Crown Prince, what little sister said is true. In recent years, I don't even dare to get close to the new officials of the dynasty. And what the Crown Prince said is true. Could it be that the Crown Prince really suspects that we have ulterior motives?"

Qin Yueming looked at Hsiang Yunyang. Even though he was interrogating Hsiang Yunyang, he couldn't hear any emotion from him. It was as if a scholar was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

This had been the case in the Qin family for generations. The disciples of the family advocated etiquette and literature, unlike the people in the city, who couldn't be picky.

If Patriarch Xiong hadn't told them about this matter, the Qin family wouldn't have any trouble. No one would take the initiative to provoke them in the Imperial City.

"Master of the Qin family, you might have misunderstood me. We are on the same side. If something happened to the Qin family, I naturally have to help. Furthermore, the Qin family has been turned upside down. I have to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Hsiang Yunyang continued after a moment of contemplation, "If it's about the Devil Artifact, I don't think it's a bad thing. After all, the Qin family is a pure family. Naturally, they know the principle that water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat. With the Devil Artifact in hand, they can also control it..."

"If this is really the case for Qin family, Yunyang will do his best to protect the safety of Xiong family. Even if the position of the Eastern Palace's Master is in danger, he won't let malicious people harm the Qin family on purpose!"

Hsiang Yunyang expressed his stance to Qin Yueming in an impassioned manner, which touched even Xiangyun who was standing at the side.

Only Qin Yueming didn't show any expression, as if his words couldn't move him.

"In that case, Yunyang will take his leave now. If anything happens, send someone to inform me. I will do my best!"

Hsiang Yunyang didn't get any answers that he wanted, so he could only leave temporarily, no matter what the Qin family was like.

Seeing that Hsiang Yunyang had left, Qin Yueming sighed softly. He waved his hand and all the servants around him left.

"Yun Rang, you should go and comfort the Crown Prince. You know the situation of Qin family. I can't do anything about what the Crown Prince said..."

Qin Yueming called out to him and told him to relay his words to Hsiang Yunyang.
