Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

In that magnificent palace, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Chu Tianlong stared at Zhuge Xiong below him, with a majestic light flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Zhuge," Chu Tianlong's voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless pressure, "As a general, you should stand up when the country is in danger. Today, Princess Pingyi dared to lead troops into the palace with ill intentions. You should immediately organize people to capture Pingyi."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiong straightened his body, without any sign of retreat in his eyes.

He looked at Chu Tianlong firmly, without any fear.

"Your Majesty!" His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the entire hall, with a resolute momentum, "It is my humble servant's duty, and I cannot disobey the emperor's order.

But I dare to say something. Your Majesty, you have recognized an unidentified woman as Princess Zhaoyang. Her origins are unknown, and whether she is truly of royal blood remains to be verified.

This incident not only caused an uproar in the court and the public, but also raised the possibility of confusing the royal bloodline. Princess Pingyi's trip was not to rebel, but to maintain the royal orthodoxy and catch the person who confused the bloodline.

His words were powerful and there was silence in the hall as everyone was shocked by his words.

Chu Tianlong's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he did not attack immediately.

After hearing this, Chu Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, flashing with dangerous light.

His voice was low and majestic, with obvious questioning intent: "Zhuge Xiong, Ping Yi led her troops into the palace, and shouts of killing have been heard outside the palace. It is obvious that she has evil intentions and is trying to usurp the throne! As a general of the court, are you going to sit back and do nothing?"

However, facing the emperor's questioning, Zhuge Xiong showed no fear. His expression was as calm as water, and he responded in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I am loyal to the country and Your Majesty, but I also understand what is true justice. If Your Majesty can hand over the so-called Princess Zhaoyang and let the truth come out, then I am willing to lead the imperial army immediately to quell this meaningless civil strife and stop Princess Pingyi from taking further actions."

These words were like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing an uproar in the hall.

Many ministers, ladies, and girls were all shocked and whispered to each other, speculating secretly in their hearts.

Chu Tianlong's face turned extremely gloomy. He snorted coldly, his voice full of dissatisfaction and suspicion: "Zhaoyang is my biological daughter. This is indisputable and the evidence is irrefutable. How dare you talk nonsense here and question the blood relationship between me and my daughter? Or, have you, Zhuge Xiong, secretly colluded with Ping Yi in an attempt to overthrow my rule and seize the throne?"

Chu Tianlong's words were like a cold wind, blowing through the entire hall.

He stared at Zhuge Xiong, as if trying to see through his eyes to see his true thoughts. Zhuge Xiong stood up straight, staring at Chu Tianlong without flinching, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze, and every sound in the hall was infinitely amplified. Zhuge Xiong's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible fierceness, and he slowly said: "Your Majesty, I am wise, and I have always been devoted to the country."

The emperor glared at him and said sternly, "You are so sincere! I order you to organize people to resist immediately."

However, Zhuge Xiong replied calmly: "If Your Majesty does not hand over Princess Zhaoyang, I am sorry that I can do nothing!"

Chu Zixi stood up and stared at Zhuge Xiong sharply, "Zhuge Xiong, you are just resentful towards me because of the death of your son Zhuge Lianting. What a pity, you hate the wrong person."

Zhuge Xiong's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He looked at Chu Zixi coldly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Zixi chuckled, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Oh! You want to know? I won't tell you now, but it's okay to tell you when you are dying!"

Zhuge Xiong snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Princess Pingyi's move tonight is to eliminate you, a woman of unknown origin. You are trying to confuse the royal bloodline. Now that your death is approaching, you still dare to talk nonsense here?"

Chu Zixi smiled slightly, "Oh? Are you so sure that Princess Pingyi will succeed today?"

“Hahahaha…” A sharp and piercing laugh was heard, and Princess Pingyi led a group of soldiers and rushed in aggressively. She gritted her teeth and said, “Chu Tianlong, tonight is the day you die!”

Seeing this, Chu Tianlong's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he said angrily: "How dare you! Pingyi, I have ordered you to be confined to the princess's mansion. How dare you lead soldiers into the palace privately? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Treason?" Ping Yi sneered, her eyes full of hatred and mockery, "This throne should have belonged to my father, but you cruelly killed him and pretended to be kind and caring to me. Isn't it just to let the world see your kindness?"

"Now, I am going to take back everything that originally belonged to me!" Ping Yi said viciously, with a firm and resolute light flashing in her eyes.

Chu Tianlong was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I really raised an ungrateful wolf! When I saw that you were still young, I felt pity for you and made you Princess Pingyi and gave you a princess's mansion. I wanted you to live a carefree life, but I didn't expect that it would fuel your ambitions!"

After that, Chu Tianlong slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily: "Come here, arrest Ping Yi immediately!"

Princess Pingyi showed a trace of disdainful smile, looked at Chu Tianlong and said: "Hahaha, Uncle Emperor, I killed all your people, and the commander of the Imperial Guards Fan Fu has led the Imperial Guards to surrender to me. Where do you have anyone to use? It's a huge joke. Your General Minghun is still guarding the border and can't come to rescue you in time. Haha..." Princess Pingyi laughed unscrupulously, but her laughter suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, many secret guards in black brocade clothes appeared in the hall and surrounded Princess Pingyi in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a cold sword quietly and silently crossed Princess Pingyi's fair neck, making her unable to move in an instant.

Princess Pingyi frowned, a trace of panic appeared on her face, and she couldn't help asking: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Chu Tianlong sneered, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Princess Pingyi coldly and said: "These people are my dragon guards. They rarely show up at ordinary times, and they will only take action to protect my safety at critical moments. Pingyi, I have given you many chances, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish them. Now you have ended up like this, and it's your own fault!"

Ping Yi threatened fiercely: "Let me go, my people have surrounded me outside. If anything happens to me, everyone in the hall will be buried with me."

She stared at Chu Zixi, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

Chu Zixi remained unmoved, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a sneer.
