Volume 1, Chapter 37: It is I who have failed the Prince; I truly deserve to die!

Xie Liwei suppressed the many questions weighing on his mind. By the time he returned to the manor, Nanny Qin had already prepared a table full of food for him. He had never been particular about his meals and had always been frugal, so seeing such a lavish spread left him slightly surprised.

"The Princess Consort said she would come here for dinner tonight to celebrate your great earnings!" Nanny Qin replied, her eyes crinkling into crescents. Seeing the relationship between the Prince and the Princess Consort improving day by day, how could she not be overjoyed? She truly hoped that by this time next year, there would be a little heir in the manor to bring it to life.

Xie Liwei looked at the table of dishes, pondered for a moment, and sent someone to fetch Song Yaozhu for dinner.

In Jun Chan’s heart, there was nothing her Imperial Brother could not do. Whenever she asked for his help, no matter how difficult the task, he always managed to accomplish it for her. Could this matter, too, be resolved just as easily?

Although Qing Yi’s voice was not loud, Commander Zhao heard it clearly and immediately snorted at him. No sooner had the words fallen than the anti-tank grenade launchers, already prepared, let out a series of deafening roars, boom after boom.

She had to cover her mouth from above to keep from bursting into laughter as the five big bosses tried to act cute. Below, she had to keep her composure and suppress that sense of mission, which was truly exhausting.

After a few more days, the two parted ways at a fork in the road, agreeing to meet in Ningzhou later. Qiao Feng headed toward the Song-Xia border to gather information, while Sun Xu set off toward a mountain range.

Jiang Rou’er shook her head beside her and forced a smile. "No need! Prince Shen, I have already found my friends! They will take me back!" With that, she pointed to the people behind her.

Tuoba Shao, however, was completely oblivious to this. The Weiyang Palace, which should have been used for grand banquets, had effectively become his personal entertainment club, filled daily with singing, dancing, and endless rounds of drinks.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianfei was overcome with joy. He bowed repeatedly to Lord Wariv, looking exceptionally excited.

What could Xiao Yuanshan do but agree? His dantian was empty, and even the most ordinary martial artist could take his life; he had no choice but to comply.

Green Forest Tiger took full advantage of this time to frantically gather resources and accelerate the production and accumulation of his combat forces. He was waiting for the moment his strength truly developed so he could soar.

Gu Fan slapped his forehead in a gesture of helplessness, and the others looked equally speechless.

It was a cylindrical structure, and it was floating! The building was divided into three sections, each separated by more than five meters. There were no supports at the gaps, yet it floated there, defying all logic.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Ke Li watched Qi Feng’s retreating back with sorrow for a long while. Subconsciously, he reached out to grab the wine bottle on the table, but after fumbling for a while, he looked up to find it gone.

Chen Feng had already landed on the ground with the Imperial Sword, thrusting it into Ashikaga Yoshimochi’s heart with lightning speed.

Not only Xu Anhong, but even Liu Xuanba, who stood by, knelt to the ground as Xu Yue recited the decree, preparing to listen to the sovereign’s instructions.

"It is all thanks to Mr. Ye’s brilliant mind that we were able to root out this murderer. Otherwise, there is no telling how many more people would have become victims," Director Liu said with heartfelt gratitude.

Yan Tao did not want to leave this regret behind, but he could not guarantee that he would be able to score two goals in the limited playing time left in the second half of the season. If he were a forward, it might be easier, but he was a defender; these two goals, though seemingly few, were not so easily achieved.

Within the blood vessels running through the body, thick blood flowed incessantly. A hint of purple was mingled within the crimson red, and an intense, scorching heat hidden within betrayed the powerful energy stored inside.

"Before heavy cavalry, the Xiongnu main force and the Xiyun tribe are no different; they all end up torn to shreds!" Zhang Xian stated firmly.

In truth, Chen Zhifan still had several doubts, but after a moment’s thought, he decided not to speak. Judging by the imposter’s behavior, he knew she belonged to the very bottom of the Corpse Faction and wouldn't know many secrets—asking would be a waste of time.

Wang Hao’s cold sneer felt like a critical hit to Wang Qi! To be looked down upon by a loser yet again? How could Wang Qi stay calm?

Everything regarding Xu Mo was handled by Dongzi, so he knew everything. But Xu Mo was not afraid, because Dongzi was complicit in all of it; they were now grasshoppers on the same rope.

Knowing that now was not the time to dampen Tai Youqian’s enthusiasm, Wang Hao sighed inwardly.

By 9:30 in the evening, Yan Le had hypnotized Wei Zhenhua and his father, Wei Zongxue, allowing the pair to have a peaceful sleep. He asked Tang Xianxian to return to the nurse’s station and sent Lin Daolun back to the hotel to rest.

Xu Yunyan took a sip, found it acceptable, and drank it all down. Taking a deep breath, she began to practice the Lingxiao Heart Technique as Yan Le had instructed.

Beichen Xihe picked up the cup placed behind him; the Katim coffee on the stone pillar remained warm in the April sunshine. Beichen Xihe fell into a trance of thought before offering an imposing smile.

There weren't many people here now, yet he had chosen the seat directly opposite White Wolf. Bright sat in the corner, as always in his black suit and dark sunglasses.

That morning, while Lin Weiwei was in a meeting with Jin Ruiyi and the company’s executives, Lu Mingchuan called.
