Jiang Chen vaguely heard the guards shouting, "Your Highness, the Prince."
He knew that this old man was the person he needed to monitor.
Jiang Chen controlled the little bird and followed all the way, eventually arriving in front of the Fourth Prince's mansion.
Prince Xue Xing's old face was gloomy, looking in a rather bad mood, as if brewing with anger.
After getting out of the sedan chair, the servants of the prince's mansion bowed humbly to welcome him.
"Let Xue Beng come see me." Prince Xue Xing spoke coldly, carrying a trace of fury.
With a wave of his large sleeve and a cold snort, he headed directly toward the reception hall.
Jiang Chen gave up following Xue Xing and instead followed the servant who was running to notify Xue Beng.
"Finally, I can see what this Xue Beng looks like," Jiang Chen thought to himself.
This servant was clearly not a soul master. While running hurriedly, he was panting heavily.
He had directly felt the anger and coldness emanating from Prince Xue Xing earlier and naturally did not dare to slack off.
On the other hand, he was also worried about disturbing Xue Beng's interest and being severely punished afterward.
The servant quickly ran into the separate courtyard where Xue Beng lived and arrived outside Xue Beng's room. He carefully listened for a moment.
From inside the room came the sound of a man's frenzied laughter and a woman's weak and desperate cries.
The window was open, so Jiang Chen flew to the windowsill without any hesitation.
Just one glance inside, and uncontrollable anger burned in his heart.
The girl inside had a delicate body, with tears rolling down her face nonstop. Her voice had already become hoarse and despairing.
The other person was a youth who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, committing an act that enraged both heaven and men.
Jiang Chen had seen many such scenes in the Slaughter City. Those women were not easy to deal with either, but the one being tormented now was an innocent, ordinary girl.
A trace of killing intent surged in Jiang Chen's heart.
This Xue Beng deserved to die!
The servant standing at the door listened to the sounds inside. Due to the prince's tyrannical power, he did not dare to speak up and interrupt.
But thinking of Prince Xue Xing's gloomy expression and furious cold snort, his body shivered. He gathered his courage and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" The man's laughter stopped, and he shouted.
"Master, His Highness the Prince has arrived and is waiting for you in the main hall. His Highness seems very angry." The servant spoke tremblingly.
"Wait a moment," the youth inside roared.
The woman's cries became even more miserable and desperate.
A moment later, Xue Beng straightened his clothes and stared at the young girl with threatening eyes.
"If you dare to spread this matter, I can make your entire family disappear from this world in minutes."
The girl's eyes were hollow and despairing, like a pear blossom ravaged by a storm, covered in scars.
Xue Beng pushed open the door and walked out. Suddenly, he turned back and smiled, "This prince is very satisfied. You can go home now."
Then, he glared at the servant waiting nearby and shouted, "Dog servant, lead the way."
The servant greedily glanced into the room, then nodded and bowed as he led Xue Beng toward the main hall.
He felt somewhat disappointed in his heart. This time, there was no soup to drink.
The girl walked down in a daze. After dressing herself, she left this hell-like place like a wooden puppet, her steps staggering.
"Master, how was this one's taste today?" the servant asked with a lewd smile while leading the way.
Xue Beng had obvious dark circles under his eyes, and his steps were somewhat unsteady. Hearing the servant's words, he similarly laughed lewdly, "This little lady is not bad. She truly deserves to be a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family. In the future, find a few more for me."
"As long as Master is satisfied, this little one will definitely do his best."
Xue Beng glanced sideways at the servant. "Don't worry, you won't miss out on drinking the soup."
Only when they were approaching the main hall did Xue Beng's steps slightly quicken.
If asked who he feared the most, it was neither the old emperor nor his vicious elder brother, but this imperial uncle.
The old emperor had already given up on managing him, and his vicious elder brother had also lowered his guard against him.
Only this imperial uncle outwardly allowed him to indulge while secretly being extremely strict with him.
Xue Beng walked into the main hall with the servant. Just as he was about to greet him, a teacup came smashing over.
Xue Beng's figure suddenly halted. The teacup shattered with a "pa" sound on the ground in front of him, and the scalding tea splashed all over his pants.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Xue Beng's heart jumped, and his face turned somewhat pale.
This was the first time he had seen Xue Xing so furious.
Prince Xue Xing's oppressive gaze turned toward the servant.
"This slave takes his leave."
Only the uncle and nephew remained in the main hall, and Prince Xue Xing's guards filled the surroundings.
Prince Xue Xing slammed the table beside him, almost breaking the tea table apart.
He stood up furiously and pointed at Xue Beng's nose while cursing, "I told you to pretend to be a good-for-nothing, not to actually become one!"
"Look at what you've become now? Besides visiting brothels, you're snatching commoner girls. Every time I have to clean up your mess for you. Do you still have any ambition at all?"
Xue Beng said aggrievedly, "Didn't you tell me to act like a good-for-nothing? Only by being a genuine good-for-nothing would I not arouse his suspicion."
Xue Xing was so angry that his beard stood up. He kicked Xue Beng in the butt.
"What else is in your heart besides women? What about the throne? Can't you secretly learn something useful in private?"
"Uncle, once you find evidence that Big Brother killed Second Brother and Third Brother, the position of Crown Prince will naturally be mine."
Xue Beng meant that he didn't need to work hard to learn those things. Wouldn't it be better to spend more time having fun?
There were so many beautiful little ladies; how could he bear to give them up?
An expression of extreme disappointment appeared on Xue Xing's face. "Since you have no intention of improving, I don't need to cultivate you anymore. Although Xue Qinghe is vicious, he is far more outstanding than you."
With a wave of his sleeve, he strode away.
Xue Beng panicked and hurriedly hugged his uncle's thigh, bursting into tears.
"Uncle, whatever you want me to learn, I'll learn it, okay?"
His previous depravity had completely come from Xue Xing's promise that he would definitely help him become the Crown Prince.
The temptation of sitting on the throne without having to struggle had made him completely lose.
Xue Xing flung his large hand, and more than a dozen books fell to the ground.
"Read more of the sages' classics and learn some military strategies. Don't spend all your time on women's bellies."
Xue Xing gave a heavy snort and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Xue Beng picked up the books on the ground with a face full of disgust and muttered, "Women still need to be played with, and I also want to sit on the throne. It seems I can only go out to play in the future."
He felt extremely dejected in his heart. The taste of those respectable family girls was the most wonderful, but his mansion was now full of Xue Xing's eyes and ears. It would be impossible to snatch anyone back here anymore.
"Once my elder brother falls, I'll see who can still stop me." A trace of ruthlessness appeared in Xue Beng's eyes.
On the treetop outside the hall, the black little bird's eyes turned slightly. It flapped its wings and followed Prince Xue Xing's group.
Xue Beng was not worth worrying about. Xue Xing was the one who needed to be closely monitored.
Killing intent filled Jiang Chen's eyes. In that instant earlier, he had the impulse to let the little black sparrow launch a surprise attack to kill Xue Beng.
However, after thinking about it, he endured it.
He had to discuss this matter with Qian Renxue first before deciding how to kill him.
At this moment, Jiang Chen, who was sitting on the bed, moved his ears and heard a faint rubbing sound.
It was the sound of a secret passage opening.
He turned his head to look behind him. His gaze pierced through the wall, and he happened to see an old man wearing a five-pointed white-gold crown walking out from the secret passage.
