I quit the sect and became a demon cultivator. Master and Sister kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

Chapter 37 The emperor’s power is unpredictable, Liang Jing compromises!

"Slave dare not!"

Zhao Wuji was terrified and knelt down as if to slap someone in the face.

"Alright, stop pretending. You've been with me for over twenty years, and you can't even tell me a few words of truth. How can I possibly hear the truth?"

Li Zhan lifted the gauze curtain.

"I have complicated feelings towards Concubine Xuan. I want to see the prince she gave birth to, but I also don't want to see him!"

"So the Emperor used the law of the strong to decide how to treat him in the future?"

Zhao Wuji stood up with a smile.

In the Divine Capital, he is probably the only one who understands Li Zhan's thoughts.

"That's right, my son must be a strong man. Throwing him into the jungle will naturally lead him to follow the laws of the jungle. He will either become a king or die in the jungle!"

Li Zhan's expression became sharp, full of imperial aura.

There was the cruelty of a king in his eyes, but also a hint of love for his child that even he himself couldn't figure out which one was greater.

"It seems that the identity of the prince is just a piece of meat thrown to the wolves by His Majesty!"

Zhao Wuji said carefully, "Your purpose is not just to test the Sixth Prince's quality!"

Li Zhan got down from the bed, faced the window, and looked at the boundless landscape illuminated by the bright moon.

"In this world, some of the bright moon still belongs to me!"

He snorted coldly, "Those meritorious princes and ministers who fought alongside our ancestors to establish the country have protected their descendants for dozens of generations. They have already established deep roots in the Great Zhou Dynasty and are about to cover up this imperial palace!"

Zhao Wuji sighed slightly. He understood Li Zhan's ambition and his dissatisfaction with the Zhou court.

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler. He will surely eliminate this century-old problem. However, he will use the Sixth Prince as a pathfinder..."

He couldn't help but look worried.

"You think he's just a small stone, thrown into the water, and can't make much of a wave?"

Li Zhan asked back.

"Your Majesty's five princes all have powerful connections behind them, and they all have complex relationships with these powerful people. The Sixth Prince has no foundation at all, so he is indeed a good choice!"

"From what happened in the past few days, he seems to have some of the charm of Concubine Xuan in her youth. However, can he, alone, shake up the entire Divine Capital?"

"Whether it works or not, it's better to just throw a stone to test the waters. It's better than a stagnant pool of water!"

Li Zhan sighed deeply.

"I just hope he won't be like his mother, a person that even I am afraid of!"

Zhao Wuji didn't dare to say much at this time.

Concubine Xuan is a thorn in Li Zhan's side!

If he had listened to Concubine Xuan's advice twenty years ago, perhaps he would not have been so passive among the powerful and influential people. However, it also shook his imperial power, so Li Zhan chose to give up Concubine Xuan.

After lying dormant for twenty years, the appearance of Li Changqing seemed to give him some hope!

Li Zhan couldn't tell whether he treated him as a chess piece or as his son.

Zhao Wuji asked quietly, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Yi asks me about this old servant, how should I respond?"

"Yifei?"

Li Zhan pondered for a moment, "Just tell her what happened, as for the rest, there's no need to say more!"

"The slave knows!"

Zhao Wuji responded and continued chatting casually, "Before the Sixth Prince entered the Divine Capital, the Zongzheng Mansion approached the Ministry of Revenue and specially allocated a piece of land for him. Who would have thought it belonged to the young Marquis of the Yongwu Marquisate?"

"The Zongzheng Mansion, huh, I wonder if they pushed the dandy young man from the Yongwu Marquis Mansion out here to test me or the Sixth Prince!"

Li Zhan sneered.

The Zongzheng Mansion had long been divided among the five princes, and he didn't bother to care who had come up with the dirty trick.

When it is time to surface, you will surface naturally. Knowing too much will only make you worried.

"However, the Sixth Prince's handling of the matter was beyond my expectations. I didn't expect it to be so tough!"

Zhao Wuji showed some appreciation.

"For you, Zhao Wuji, to say such words, it seems that this prince who has lived in the wilds for twenty years actually has some courage. He is indeed my son!"

Li Zhan was in high spirits when Zhao Wuji said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed!"

"So fast?"

Li Zhan looked at the time and said, "It's really late!"

Zhao Wuji retreated, and a moment later, two graceful women walked in.

She was brought by Concubine Yi to serve Li Zhan.

……

At this hour, the Liang Mansion was brightly lit.

As soon as Liang Ziyi returned home, he heard that Liang Jing was sent back by people from the Demon Suppression Division.

In addition to the arranged marriage, he instructed his followers to pay more attention to Liang Jing's movements, asking her to be more restrained.

Who knew...

Liang Jing knew that her father had gone to the palace to plead for her, so she waited for Liang Ziyi to come back.

"Father……"

Liang Jing looked over eagerly, but Liang Ziyi's face turned pale and he shouted, "You went to meet Cui Hao again? What on earth happened tonight?"

Liang Ziyi was keenly aware that what the eunuch whispered to Li Zhan in the palace must be related to Liang Jing.

"Father, why are you so angry? His Majesty won't allow it?"

Liang Jing looked anxious.

"The Emperor just told me personally that you no longer need to be the Crown Prince's Consort..."

"Are you serious? Father!"

Liang Jing was overjoyed and rushed over to hug Liang Ziyi, "I knew my father wouldn't watch me fall into the fire pit!"

"The Emperor wants you to be the Sixth Prince's concubine!"

Liang Ziyi pushed her away, his anger bursting out, and he pushed her to the ground.

"I'm afraid that after tonight, I will become the laughing stock of all the gods. I was born into a good woman. I've been cautious all my life, and in the end..."

"In the end, my lifelong reputation was ruined by my own daughter!"

Liang Jing was so shocked by what she heard that she even forgot to get up from the ground. "Father, what did you say? Let me be your concubine!"

A feeling of humiliation suddenly rose from my heart.

She stood up suddenly and said, "Why should I be your concubine? This is too much of a bully. No, I, I have to go find Cui Lang!"

Liang Jing panicked!

In the alley, Li Changqing once said that he wanted her to be the youngest concubine, not allowed to step out of the Sixth Prince's Palace, and she would also die there!

Unexpectedly, after just one hour, everything he said came true!

The first thing Liang Jing thought of was looking for Cui Hao!

"You still dare to go find Cui Hao? Are you going to kill the entire Liang family before you stop?"

Liang Ziyi was furious and slapped Liang Jing to the ground.

He was really angry and beat Liang Jing so hard that two lines of blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and there was a clear big handprint on her face.

Liang Jing lay on the ground, her mind buzzing and blank!

It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and two lines of tears instantly welled up in her eyes, "Does the emperor really want me to be the Sixth Prince's concubine? Isn't my life ruined?"

Liang Ziyi is heartbroken!

"Tell me, what happened tonight? Why was the emperor so furious that he even humiliated me, the vice-president of Yingtian Academy, and forced you to become the Sixth Prince's concubine?"

Liang Jing felt scared at this time!

I had misjudged the Sixth Prince. He is indeed a prince.

Even though the emperor did not summon him, he was still paying attention to his every move and hurriedly told him everything that happened in the evening.

Liang Ziyi staggered and almost fell.

"Are you crazy? How dare you assassinate the prince? You evil beast, are you going to kill the entire Liang family?"

In a rage, he wanted to kill her with a palm.

"Father, I know I was wrong!"

Liang Jing sensed murderous intent from her father and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, feeling filled with remorse.

Why would you provoke the Sixth Prince for no reason?

"If it's discovered, I can still survive, and all the hundreds of people in the Liang family can still survive. If I don't kill you, we will all die. You understand!"

"But the emperor has ordered me to be the Sixth Prince's concubine. If you kill me, wouldn't that be disobeying the order?"

Liang Jing hugged Liang Ziyi's legs and said, "Father, I don't want to die. I am willing to be the Sixth Prince's concubine!"

After saying that, tears rolled down like beads from a broken string!

Liang Ziyi's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Now you know that disobeying the imperial order is a capital crime. What did you say then?"

Liang Jing burst into tears, "Father, this was all arranged by Cui Hao. I only went to the scene and didn't participate. Besides, Cui Hao has been taken away by Commander Yu, so he will definitely be able to suppress this matter!"

At this moment, she suddenly became dazed.

The friendship between her and Cui Hao did not seem as rock-solid as she had imagined. Compared with death, it seemed to become less important!

Liang Jing slumped on the ground.

Looking at the sky helplessly and empty, Liang Jing, who was once famous in the capital, married and became a concubine. Her glory is gone. Is this how her life will be?

Liang Ziyi felt as if his whole body was hollowed out.

"Forget it. It happened, and there's nothing I can do. If the Liang family is implicated because of you, don't blame me for being cruel!"

He stumbled back into the room.

It was really hard for him to predict what kind of bad news would befall the Liang Mansion after tomorrow!
