Chapter 186: After the Fact (Part II)
Merlin's words woke everyone present except for Ming Lao at once, and an official asked:
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the White Shadow Monster Thief (Mo Ning's title in the underworld)!?"
"It's him!" The Snowy Night Emperor slapped the armrest of the throne hard.
Merlin nodded, his face full of sadness:
"That's right, Erchen is talking about that person, and the fourth brother Avalanche is insane because of him. In the past nearly a year, the White Shadow Monster Thief has often haunted the mansions of various royal families and nobles, sometimes just walking around the mansions, and sometimes deliberately scaring some people and stealing some things, but he will also return them if he steals something, and now it seems that his purpose was the treasure house of our Heaven Dou Empire from the beginning, and everything before was for last night, and there must be accomplices, otherwise it would not be possible. ”
The Snowy Night Emperor's eyes widened with anger, obviously angry:
"Immediately issue a wanted warrant, and the White Shadow Monster Thief is wanted with the highest reward! Elder Ming, you have seen that person, you have to put more thought into this matter, and make meritorious contributions, you and all the officials present act immediately! Right away! ”
"No!" Suddenly, Ming Lao and all the officials left the main hall to do what they were told.
The Snowy Night Emperor let out a breath and turned his gaze to Merlin.
Merlin immediately pleaded guilty:
"Father, please punish Qinghe! At the beginning, when the snitch showed up, his father asked his son how to deal with it, and it was because his son said that the other party would not act very excessively that his father did not pay attention to the snitch, and now not only did the fourth brother go insane, but the HIA made the treasure house stolen, and fourteen loyal and good people died, I am not worthy of being this prince at all! ”
The Snowy Night Emperor shook his head, how else could he punish Xue Qinghe (Merlin)? Did he take the position of crown prince? His son is now left with Xue Qinghe and Avalanche, Avalanche's current situation has a big problem in taking care of himself, and only Xue Qinghe can be the prince!
"Since you said so, you do have a certain responsibility for this matter, but for the sake of you taking the initiative to admit your mistakes and have a good attitude, I will be lightly punished and locked up for half a year, think about it!" The Emperor of the Snowy Night
"Son, get punished." Merlin saluted and turned around, a smile on his face.
In the bedroom of the Prince's Palace, Qian Lingxue sat on the bed, touching the little unicorn and petting the little phoenix waiting for Merlin to come back, while she was still thinking about her relationship with Merlin. Half a year ago, when Qianrenxue saw the new Merlin, she was really "heartbroken", which made her have a good impression of a man for the first time, but then Merlin kept her distance from her, because Qianrenxue didn't understand much in terms of feelings, and she didn't understand Merlin's behavior at all.
If Qianyue had kept the appearance of Xue Qinghe and got along with Merlin, she would have felt that it was normal for Merlin to keep a distance from her, but in fact it was not! She got along with Merlin in her true colors! This is no longer a matter of feelings, this is already a matter of Qianrenxue's dignity as a woman, a top beauty stays with you every day, you are thin-skinned and can't pull it directly into your arms, so you can't push it out!
But Qian Lingxue had to admit that Mo Lin gave her a lot of things, far more than the things she and Mo Lin discussed at the beginning, not to mention letting her martial soul evolve and obtain a 100,000-year external soul bone, even the 100,000-year soul ring was not something that was discussed at the beginning, this was also extra!
Therefore, Qianyue currently thinks that her own current feelings for Merlin are at most one sentence - I owe him, and I have to pay it back. But it's still impossible to take her body, she is neither a casual woman nor a woman who can use everything as a bargaining chip, if she and Merlin don't reach that stage of relationship, she won't give away her blood.
"I'm back."
While Qianyue was thinking, Merlin walked in from outside the door, and there was still no great emotional fluctuation on his face.
"How? No big problem, right? Qianyue immediately stood up, still with a little anxiety on her face that she hadn't even noticed.
After Merlin closed the door, a smile appeared on his face:
"I was under control, and everything didn't deviate from the trajectory I expected."
"Didn't the Snowy Night Emperor give you some trouble?" Thousands of snow
"He didn't give me trouble, he gave me a punishment - half a year of confinement." Merlin didn't have a hint of negativity when he spoke of the punishment given by the Snowy Night Emperor, and his expression was as if he had received some great reward.
Qianrenxue couldn't understand Merlin once:
"Since you were punished, why are you so happy? Is this in your plans? ”
"That's right," Merlin asked Qian Renxue a question, "Do you think that for a person who can move in space, confinement can limit his freedom?" ”
Qianrenxue's eyes lit up:
"Of course it can't be restricted, and no one will come to you in the past six months, which is equivalent to giving you enough time to move, after the transfer, you can do whatever you want to do, and even if you lack anything, you can come back directly to get it, without thinking about supplies."
Merlin nodded in satisfaction:
"Sure enough, whether it's a man or a woman, I still like to deal with smart people."
For the current Merlin, being locked up by the Snowy Night Emperor is the most convenient thing for him to move. With the Great Luo Cave Temple, if Mo Lin wants to leave the palace of Heaven Dou City, he doesn't have to go out from the main gate at all, he can directly transfer the space to the outside, he can go wherever he wants, and because he was locked up by the Snow Night Emperor, he doesn't have to worry about someone coming to him when Mo Lin is not in the palace of the prince and exposing something.
As for those who came to Merlin and didn't come through the main entrance, such as spies, killers, assassins, etc., did they and their employers behind them dare to speak out about this? Obviously, they didn't dare, sneaking into the palace and sending someone to sneak into the palace were not small crimes, as long as they didn't want to break the net, they wouldn't be stupid enough to blow up the matter.
Qian Lingxue smiled faintly after hearing Merlin's praise:
"Although you praise me for being smart, there are a few things I really don't understand, how did you get the Snow Night Emperor to punish you? How can you be sure that the punishment that the Emperor of the Snowy Night will give you is confinement and nothing else? ”
Merlin looked at Qianrenxue's smile and explained with the same smile:
"It's not difficult to get the Snow Night Emperor to punish me, as long as you take the initiative to take some indirect responsibility, and it is reasonable and not strange, and the key to getting the Snow Night Emperor to confine me is actually to take responsibility, I think you should know very well that for the members of the royal family, confinement is actually a very serious punishment, right?"
