Chapter 2208: Chapter 2208: Not in Cahoots, Right?

He spoke to Emperor Ziyan.

Yin Lvqing: "..."

This silly Fifth Brother of his, when did he learn how to speak so pleasingly?

It would have been nice if it were his turn to speak such words!

Sure enough, upon hearing Prince Niu’s words, Emperor Ziyan nodded his head with a satisfied expression.

"There’s nothing particularly important. I’ve just heard something about the imperial tombs concerned with Lvqing, so I summoned him to the palace to ask about the situation," said Emperor Ziyan.

"How could the affair in the imperial tombs be related to Eighth Brother?" Prince Niu asked in surprise upon hearing this.

Hearing his words, Emperor Ziyan relayed his suspicions to Prince Niu, also allowing Yin Lvqing to hear them and see if he could defend himself with eloquence.

The persons responsible for the scrutiny around the periphery of the imperial tombs were all under Yin Lvqing’s command; could it be only possible for him to let the fugitive escape without anyone noticing?

Otherwise, how could so many Tomb Guards inside the imperial tomb fail to catch even a petty thief?

"Father, could this be a misunderstanding? I think, even if Eighth Brother were gutsy, he wouldn’t dare to commit such a heinous crime," said Prince Niu, looking down at Yin Lvqing and speaking to Emperor Ziyan.

"Right, I just remembered something," he said.

Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, his eyes lit up.

"Father, I remember that back in the imperial tombs, Eighth Brother even wanted to switch with me, wishing to go to the Western Underground Palace. If that were truly the case, then those thieves couldn’t have escaped under my watchful eyes.

Perhaps, Eighth Brother is not one of them after all?"

He said.

Yin Lvqing: "..."

If it weren’t for the fact they were inside the imperial study room.

If it weren’t for the fact they were under Emperor Ziyan’s gaze!

He really felt like cursing someone out right now. What kind of nonsense is Prince Niu spouting?

What does it mean that if he had gone to the Western Underground Palace to inspect the missing items, then the thieves couldn’t have escaped? Isn’t this plainly reminding Father that he was the one who secretly let burglars go?

Moreover, perhaps Emperor Ziyan might believe that he wanted to switch with Prince Niu just to avoid suspicion.

Other arrangements had already been made in the imperial tombs.

As expected, Emperor Ziyan’s face turned green after hearing Prince Niu’s words, looking at Yin Lvqing with an even more unfavorable expression.

"Yin Lvqing, you see, at this point, your Fifth Brother is still trying to make excuses for you, but what have you done?"

Yin Lvqing: "!"

Up until now, hadn’t he been firmly accused by Prince Niu, and now it had become a grievous sin he couldn’t be forgiven for?

He was almost certain now that Prince Niu was doing this intentionally!

In the past, he had underestimated Prince Niu, always treating him like a fool, but actually, considering today’s events, he thinks Prince Niu is no pushover!

Perhaps, the affairs within the imperial tomb were indeed related to Prince Niu?

And now the rumors that are rampant in Dream Flame City, maybe they were also spread by Prince Niu’s command!

Could it be that Prince Niu is plotting a coup?

Thinking about this possibility, the expression on Yin Lvqing’s face grew even worse.

"Fifth Brother, the rumors about the demonic physique, you didn’t have someone spread that, did you?"

In a moment of heated frustration, he suddenly blurted out these words to Prince Niu.

Prince Niu: "..."

Yin Lvqing must be feeling cornered by Emperor Ziyan to jump into action at this time, to even ask such a question?
