Chapter 1385



Inside the palace hall, the patriarch of the Lei clan and some of their elders are kneeling in front of the king. They all have a gloomy look in their eyes while the king exudes his pressure on the group.

"My king… this is a ploy… How could we poison the 3rd prince when we are working with him?" an elder suddenly said breaking the silence.

The patriarch of the Lei clan did not say anything and just bowed his head.

He is very suspicious of this thing and from the way he looks at it, everything seems to fall into the plan of their enemy. But the question in his mind is who is the enemy that has the audacity to infiltrate the Lei Clan manor without being noticed, and how was that person able to determine that the 3rd prince would be visiting?

Those are the questions that have been bogging his mind for a while now.

No matter how hard he thinks about it, he could not point to any suspect.

However, he could only put the blame on someone that is easily pushed down.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Your majesty, I think the culprit of this crime is the Ao family members!" an elder suddenly said.

The patriarch showed a slight smirk on his face when he heard the elder talking. Their plan is already starting.

"The Ao family?" the king suddenly asked with a knitted brow.

"Yes, they have a deep grudge against our Lei clan because of one of the young men in the Lei Clan who eliminated the family of the Ao in some small village…" the elder suddenly explained.

"And because the 3rd prince is helping us, I think they have targeted him as he would be a hindrance to their vengeance or used him so that they could use you, your majesty in their ploy!" another elder explained.

The king did not say anything and just looks at the group below him.

Their conjectures and theories are plausible, but they seem to have forgotten something else.

It all happened inside the Lei Clan manor, and everyone knew how well protected that manor is. The king knew that if a person enters that place, then the trap formation in that place would be activated and the intruder captured.

How could they forget their own trap?

"Hmm… That is a plausible answer, but how could the intruder enter your manor?" the king suddenly asked.

The elders turned silent and look at each other feeling helpless. The patriarch is the one who planned those answers so how can they reply to the words of the king now?

"You're majesty… I… I think that person slips in when the 3rd prince enters the mansion…" an elder suddenly said.

Everyone turned silent at this time while some people quickly looked at that elder of the Lei Clan.

"You're saying that it was all my son's fault?" the king asked in a cold tone.

The elder suddenly felt his forehead drenched in a cold sweat. How could he have been so careless?

"You're majesty… We really think that it is the most plausible explanation of how that intruder entered the mansion… As you said, the mansion is truly impregnable at that time…" this time it was the patriarch that said those words.

The king this time is now really angry. He suddenly lifted his hand and smacks his throne's armrest.

"Audacious!" he shouted.

The guards around him suddenly took a step forwards while holding the hilt of their swords.

"Your majesty! I think the most important thing to do now is to cure the 3rd prince! We should ask the genius alchemist… Master Xin and Master Yo to create a pill that can cure the 3rd prince…" the patriarch of the Lei Clan suddenly suggested.

The king went silent and glares at the group and then nodded his head while signaling the soldiers behind him.

They all waited until two figures appear in the throne hall of the castle.

"Greetings, your highness!..." Xin Ja and Master Yo greeted the king with a bow.

"Ah… Master Xin and Master Yo, I would like to ask for you to concoct a pill that could detoxify the poison in my son's body…" the king suddenly said without going through any deception.

He is like a father trying to ask for help for his son.

Xin Ja and Master Yo look at each other and then Xin Ja took a step forward and asked.

"Your majesty… What is the symptom of the disease?" Xin Ja asked.

The king frowned and then looks at Master Yo.

"My son is not sick… but poisoned." The king replied.

"Hmm… Your majesty, if I may be frank. When it comes to poison there are many solutions but it is dangerous… It is better to catch the poisoner to find the antidote…" Xin Ja said with a bow.

"How dare you pretend! We know that it is you guys that did it!" an elder suddenly shouted.

Xin Ja and Master Yo showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Then they lowered themselves to the ground.

"Your majesty… In the family, there are only 5 of us. Grand Elder Ao Jixo and Mistress Ao Meixi are the heads of the clan and are at the Ki-Champion realm... and the rest of us are just servants… If we are that strong, the clan would not have been chased up to this point…" Xin Ja suddenly said with a panicking tone.

Everyone in the room has already understood this point, but it seems that the Lei Clan would not back down and pointed this matter in their heads.

"Haha… We already have evidence that it was you guys who did this!" shouted an elder.

"Evidence? What kind of evidence?" Xin Ja asked.

"Someone says your mistress entering the manor and she poisoned the 3rd prince!" that elder shouted.

Since the Lei Clan was too busy in planning last night, they neglected the fact that the winners of the contest have someone from the palace protecting them. Even their rooms are being monitored.

So when the king heard such claims he just frowned and did not say anything. Right now he is weighing whether to spare the Lei Clan and put this blame on the heads of the Ao Family or destroy the Lei Clan.

One is a big aristocratic family in the capital, while the other is cannon fodder.

The alchemy association elders watching this proceeding frowned when they saw the expression on the king. They knew that the king is contemplating either destroying the Lei Clan or the Ao family.

This time, a silver-haired ponytailed woman of the alchemy association stood up from her seat.

"You already know that this accusation is false… Why are you still showing such an expression?" she said with a cold glare at the king.

The king this time showed a surprised expression on his face.

"The Ao family is now under the alchemist association's protection… We have our men by their side all the time last night and not one of them has left their eyes… Now you dare to blame this crime in their heads? Even the king's people are with them…" she shouted in anger.

This time everyone went silent.

Suddenly, someone runs inside the door and called the king.

The king was annoyed but showed a calm expression when he saw that it was one of the queen's maids.

"Your majesty! The prince… he is awake and is calling for you…" the maid said while trying to catch her breath.

The king did not hesitate to quickly run to the quarters where the 3rd prince is lying.

When the king enters, his nose was assaulted by the stench of medicinal decoction.

"Haizong… It's dad… How are you feeling?!" the king suddenly said while sitting beside the bed of his 3rd son.

Out of all his sons, his 3rd son is someone he likes the most. Although the 3rd son could not inherit the throne because of the 1st and 2nd prince, he still likes his 3rd son because he is always by his side.

"Son… who did this?" the king asked with anger in his eyes when he saw the pitiful look on his son's face.

"Those… bastards… from… the Lei…" the 3rd prince muttered but then stops when he suddenly felt his body in pain.

The king's eyes turned red as he quickly stood up. The 3rd prince suddenly shouted as the pain in his body became unbearable.

It was like being tortured by thousands of knives cutting every muscle of his body.

The king saw the queen being anxious so he quickly stood beside her and hugged her as she is becoming frantic.

The medical masters quickly went to work to stabilize the prince, but then suddenly the prince's body convulses and his muscles hardened.

Pain could be seen in his face as green veins bulge on his forehead.

Then they all saw the same him stiffen and after a few seconds, his body lays limply on the bed while his mouth began to foam with blood.

The king is now enraged as he has finally made a decision.

By this time, the Lei clan elders are all glaring at Xin Ja and Master Yo who are being protected by the silver-haired elder of the alchemist association behind her.

When the king arrived, everyone went silent.

But his next words made everyone in the court became shocked.
