Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Hongtian Restaurant is well known to everyone in the imperial capital. This is a restaurant run by Prince Hong's former subordinates outside Mingyuefang. The owner of the restaurant is the old man in black robe.

Zhang Linghu relied on his old relationship to eat and drink in the restaurant every day.

"The princess and Lin Bai have come in. Let's go and greet the princess." The old man in black robe raised his eyebrows and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the bottom of the restaurant.

Zhang Linghu glanced at Lin Bai with gloomy eyes and an indifferent expression, and then followed the black-robed old man to the door downstairs.

At the door of the restaurant, when Lin Mo and Miss Shen Xian walked into the store, the old man in black robe and Zhang Linghu also came to the door to greet them.

"Prepare a room for us and bring some bottles of good wine."

Miss Shen Xian smiled and ordered, and the black-robed old man and Zhang Linghu responded, leading Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian up to the second floor.

Zhang Linghu stood silently aside, bowed respectfully to Miss Shen Xian, and then looked at Lin Bai with cold eyes without saying a word.

Lin Bai saw that Zhang Linghu was the one who hurt him in Mingyuefang that day, so he didn't say much, smiled coldly, and walked up to the second floor.

On the second floor of the restaurant, Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian were sitting opposite each other. The old man in black robe ordered the maid to prepare the food and drinks, and then stood beside Miss Shen Xian.

"This is the owner of Hongtian Restaurant, Chao Yushi."

"I have met Holy Son Lin Bai."

Chao Yushi smiled kindly, raised his hands and saluted Lin Bai.

"I've met senior." Lin Bai returned the greeting with a smile and cupped his hands.

"This is Zhang Linghu." Miss Shen Xian pointed to another old man in black robe beside her and said.

"Shengzi Lin Bai." Zhang Linghu said with a straight face and bowed his hands.

"I know you." Lin Bai smiled softly, with a cold light appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Although Lin Bai did not want Tianshui Sect to make this matter a big deal, it did not mean that Lin Bai did not have the intention to kill Zhang Linghu in his heart.

Lin Bai suppressed the Tianshui Sect elder and told him not to make a fuss in front of Emperor Chu. That was because the imperial capital was already in chaos and he did not want to cause any more trouble to His Highness King Chen.

But Lin Bai always remembered Zhang Linghu's injury to him.

Miss Shen Xian clearly saw that there was still a strong murderous intention between Lin Bai and Zhang Linghu. She also knew very well that a peerless person like Lin Bai was definitely not someone who would just swallow his anger when he suffered a loss.

It's just that Lin Bai had to endure it due to the current situation.

"Sir Lin Bai, try the Broken Sword Wine from my Hongtian Restaurant." Chao Yushi sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere and immediately changed the subject.

Lin Bai smiled, raised the glass and took a sip. Just as Miss Shen Xian said, the Zhejian Wine is like a flame in the mouth, spicy and domineering.

"Good wine." Lin Bai said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"If Saint Prince Lin Bai likes it, I will ask someone to prepare some for you later." Chao Yushi said with a smile.

Chao Yushi was much smoother than Zhang Linghu. When talking to others, he always had a smile on his face, but Lin Bai still noticed the depth and wisdom in his eyes.

This is a calculating person.

"Let's talk about something serious." Lin Bai smiled and said to Miss Shen Xian, "I wonder what clues she can provide me?"

Lin Bai suddenly changed the topic and got to the point.

Regarding the deaths of Zuo Feiyu and Changsun Hongxuan, Emperor Chu only gave him half a month to find out the truth. Time was tight and Lin Bairong could not waste any time.

Miss Shen Xian smiled bitterly. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the grudge between Zhang Linghu and Lin Bai, but it seemed that Lin Bai had no such intention.

then.

Miss Shen Xian took a deep breath and asked, "What clues does Holy Son Lin Bai want to get from me?"

"Everything Holy Son Lin Bai asked today, the little girl knew everything and answered it."

Lin Bai's expression was slightly condensed, and he answered everything he knew. These words made Lin Bai feel happy in his heart.

Miss Shen Xian was originally the only daughter of Prince Hong, but because Prince Hong was found to be connected with the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Prince Hong's palace was destroyed, and the Emperor of Chu punished Miss Shen Xian to the Moon Palace to reflect on her past mistakes.

Not only is she a member of the royal family, she knows the five and seven sects of Chu and the royal family very well; she is also the top oiran of Mingyuefang, and she also knows the Moon Palace very well.

"First question, Miss Lan Yue once said that on the night Zuo Feiyu died, Miss Shen Xian went to Zhiyun Palace for a banquet."

"And I heard that Miss Chen Xian never likes to communicate with others. Why did she go to Zhiyun Palace for a banquet that day?"

Lin Bai raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and asked the doubt that had been plaguing his heart for a long time.

On the same day, Lin Bai went to Yaotai to meet Miss Lan Yue because of this, and then he became displeased by Prince Hong's old subordinates.

"That day, Zhao Xiantu held a banquet in Zhiyun Palace to entertain the Holy Son of Qitian Sect. After they got drunk, they chatted about me."

"As Holy Son Lin Bai said, everyone inside and outside the imperial capital knows that I never see any guests in the Moon Palace. I don't see anyone except the royal family and the prince."

"Those saints from Qitian Sect's territory were quite impressed and wanted to see me. After Zhao Xiantu got drunk, he said he could invite me to the banquet."

"He gave me a reason I couldn't refuse. I had to go."

When Miss Shen Xian talked about this matter, she looked quite helpless, and she also looked a little bored towards Zhao Xiantu and other saints.

Lin Bai asked, "What's the reason? Miss Shen Xian can't refuse?"

"This matter should have nothing to do with Zuo Feiyu's death." Miss Shen Xian said in a low voice, "But since Holy Son Lin Bai keeps asking, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"I was born into a royal family. My father was once a very powerful prince in the imperial capital. Later, he was found to be connected with the Nine Nether Demon Palace, so the palace was destroyed, and I was also punished by Emperor Chu to be sent to the Moon Palace to reflect on my mistakes."

Lin Bai nodded slightly. He already knew about this matter from His Highness Prince Chen, but he just didn't know what Miss Shen Xian meant when she mentioned this matter.

Miss Shen Xian said: "That day, Zhao Xiantu said...he had evidence in his hand that my father was wrongly accused. This evidence is enough to prove that my father has no connection with the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"I can't refuse this reason."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Bai frowned, and a bright light appeared in the eyes of Chao Yushi and Zhang Linghu. He clenched his fists secretly, holding back a surge of anger in his heart.

According to His Highness Prince Chen, Prince Hong was not personally involved in the connection with the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Instead, Prince Hong’s concubine and Miss Shen Xian’s biological mother was a member of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

After such investigation, it was found that both Prince Hong and Miss Shen Xian were implicated by their mother.

Lin Bai said: "I heard His Royal Highness Prince Chen say that this matter has nothing to do with Prince Hong and you. Isn't your mother someone from the Demon Palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Bai's voice stopped abruptly.

Miss Shen Xian's eyebrows were lowered, with a trace of sadness on her face, "Zhao Xiantu said...my mother is not from the Nine Nether Demon Palace either!"

"They were framed!"

Lin Bai secretly complained, why are there so many unjust, false and wrongful cases in the imperial capital?
