和沈翔多聊幾句，但馬總管卻急忙把沈翔和小玲帶走。“有空常來。”這是李大爺對沈翔說的話。“燕大師，你這段時間彆出去，在這裡呆著，我去通報給大公子。”馬總管把沈翔帶回了店鋪，還安排了幾個強者保護沈翔。“那麼小玲的事情呢？”沈翔看了看小玲，問道。“以後她就是你的了，這是她的血契。”馬總管丟給沈翔一張獸皮，然後匆匆離開。沈翔帶著小玲回到自己的小宅子，然後把那血契給她，笑道：“以後你就是自由的了。”“謝謝…...Chapter 2153: Mysterious Ruler

"Mother, are you really going to leave him alone After all, he is still your brother," the young woman whispered.

"You look like me, but do you think your brother looks like me" Ruler Ruanfei smiled seductively and stroked her daughter's face. "Foolish child, don't you see that brat isn't my son over these years"

"This…" The young woman fell silent. The struggles within the Imperial Ninth Palace were clear to her. Her mother had brought in Prince Ming to please Empress Tyrannical Great, likely for that reason.

"However, he is indeed your father's son, but his mother was that slut who I brought here! And now that he's crippled, it's better because he won't cause trouble anymore," Ruler Ruanfei was grateful in her heart for Shen Xiang's actions.

Now that Empress Tyrannical Great had left, she no longer needed to consider Empress Tyrannical Great's attitude. Hence, she could also find a reason to abandon Prince Leveling, not being his biological son anyway.

Previously, Xiao Yulan had also told her not to move Shen Xiang, which meant that Xiao Yulan highly valued Shen Xiang!

"Jin Er, don't tell anyone about this matter. I'm telling you now because I worry that your kind heart might be deceived by that bastard," said Ruler Ruanfei.

"Idiot, everything was fabricated by Prince Ming. His purpose is to anger me. He said contradictory things and I could tell what he was trying to do," Ruler Ruanfei smiled seductively and patted Xiao Jin Er's face. "Let's go, I'm taking you to see Yulan. You can see how powerful your sister is now and she might become the new Empress Tyrannical Great."

…

Prince's car was on the road, and it coincidentally passed Ruler Ruanfei's car.

"It's the Ruanfei!" Xiao Bai Feng was somewhat surprised. "She should have seen my car too. Does she not intend to cause trouble for you"

"Is she that powerful Usually, women who are powerful wouldn't have Prince Ming as a worthless son. They'd definitely be burdens," said Shen Xiang with a smile, "I'll get the chance to meet her and ask how she disciplines her son."

"There are discussions about this matter at the palace because she was kind to Prince Ming, providing him with many resources. However, later on, she doesn't discipline him and is very good to her daughter. Her daughter looks like her but is a kind-hearted woman, completely contrasting Ruanfei," said Xiao Bai Feng. "Do not underestimate Ruanfei, she can be chosen by the princess for her impressive strength."

"Also, there seems to be something mysterious between Ruanfei and Empress Tyrannical Great because no one has ever seen her speak to the latter. She brought Xiao Jin Er into Imperial Ninth Palace when she arrived, while Empress Tyrannical Great never asks about her matters and never summons her! Xiao Jin Er told me that she has never seen Empress Tyrannical Great," said Xiao Bai Feng. "This is very interesting, isn't it Maybe Xiao Jin Er and Prince Ming aren't Empress Tyrannical Great's children."

Originally, Shen Xiang was only teasing, but Xiao Bai Feng took it seriously. "There's a high possibility that she might not be Empress Tyrannical Great's child, her son was born on the day when another妃 (concubine) died. This concubine was also about to give birth! Two months later, Ruanfei suddenly gave birth and has been in the imperial palace for two years. Empress Tyrannical Great never touched her, but she has Empress Tyrannical Great's son. During the bloodline test, this child was also confirmed as Empress Tyrannical Great's son."

"Does Empress Tyrannical Great not know about this" asked Shen Xiang curiously. "Isn't it abnormal for Empress Tyrannical Great to neglect her dead妃 (concubine) and never visit when her son was born"

"It's normal, there are thousands of women in Empress Tyrannical Great's palace and she couldn't possibly manage all matters. She uses the method of letting her women grow up in Imperial Ninth Palace, living and dying are irrelevant to her. Only outstanding children can catch her attention," said Xiao Bai Feng.

"She's so ruthless!" Shen Xiang frowned. "It seems that the ones who fight their way out in Imperial Ninth Palace are ruthless people, is your princess like this too"

"Yes, don't be fooled by her gentle appearance. She's done many bloody things," said Xiao Bai Feng. "In Imperial Ninth Palace, it seems only Prince Leveling grew up in a relatively healthy environment because he followed the Great Venerable since childhood and received Empress Tyrannical Great's attention. No one dares to touch him in Imperial Ninth Palace."

"It's their fate!" said Shen Xiang as he shook his head and smiled.

"I'm curious about Ruanfei's background. The princess also sent people to investigate, but there was no conclusion. However, she trusts Ruanfei very much and gives her many responsibilities, which she completes excellently," said Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang didn't take this matter to heart and thought he wouldn't be connected with Ruanfei in the future.

He was just leaving Imperial Ninth Palace when he received Huang Yan Tian's message asking when he would arrive. He replied that it would take about a minute.

The Tyrannical Great Imperial City was vast, and Huang Yan Tian's designated meeting place wasn't far from Imperial Ninth Palace. Hence, he could quickly go there.

"Do you want to come with me This matter is very confidential," Xiao Bai Feng looked around because Shen Xiang was currently a key figure that Imperial Ninth Palace's major forces were closely watching.

"Okay, come up!" Shen Xiang nodded and Xiao Bai Feng was not weak. Having her by his side would also ensure safety.

Shen Xiang arrived at Huang Yan Tian's designated room and was stunned when he entered because there were two Huang Yan Tians inside! However, they only looked alike but had different appearances.

"Master… Senior!" Shen Xiang immediately recognized Huang Jin Tian and hurriedly called out.

"You little bastard, you made me lose," Huang Jin Tian hurriedly ran over and tapped Shen Xiang's head. "This bastard said he had a way to make you come here and timed it precisely, I didn't believe him so I bet with him."

Huang Yan Tian chuckled, "You lose. Call me Brother!"

"Humph, clearly I'm older than you, why should I call you Brother You should be the one calling me Brother!" Huang Jin Tian muttered angrily.和師傅煉製出來的好很多！我和師傅煉製那種淡黃色的隻能算是下乘品質，而他的已經接近與巔峰品質，如果在神國出售，兩千萬神元石都算是很便宜的了！”他自嘲一笑：“看來我撿了一個大便宜呀！”老隨從看見他的少主受到極大打擊的樣子，心中有些憤怒，說道：“公子，這一定是因為天煉之術，如果你擁有天煉之術，肯定也能和他一樣，甚至超越他！我現在就去幫你把天煉之術搶過來！”“不！”紅衣男子剛纔確實有一絲搶奪天煉之術的念頭...
