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

The atmosphere in the Queen's Palace became very subtle.

Xiao Yu and Song Yichun looked at each other, wanting to remind the eunuch to say what he should say and not say what he shouldn't say.

The words came to my lips and I swallowed them back.

"Why, it's inconvenient to say?"

Li Zhan gently cast his gaze on the eunuch, who suddenly felt as if a thorn was on his back, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He was just a servant. If he said something wrong, either the emperor or the empress would kill him. His face suddenly turned pale.

My mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to avoid taking the blame.

"It's just idle chat. There's nothing you can't say. As long as you tell the truth, the master won't do anything to you!"

Seeing that the emperor's expression was becoming increasingly fierce, Zhao Wuji quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Li Zhan came to Empress Xiao to test her bottom line. He was already dissatisfied with the current situation in the court, and if she continued to hide it, it would definitely anger her.

Moreover, he knew very well what kind of person Empress Xiao was. When the time came, he would be furious and take it out on his servants.

It's not easy for these slaves.

"Speak now, the Emperor is so refined, you can just treat it as a joke!"

A sinister look flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes. Zhao Wuji was Li Zhan's confidant, and his words were the emperor's will.

Besides, Li Zhan's arrival at this hour was suspicious. He probably knew about the Zongzheng Mansion incident long ago.

It's just that he said it through the eunuch's mouth.

After receiving the promise, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and told the whole story of the Zongzheng Mansion.

Li Zhan's face was solemn. "Marquis Yongwu was a veteran of three dynasties and highly respected in the court. He only had one grandson, and he was killed. The court must give him an explanation!"

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu said a few perfunctory words without responding. He didn't know how to explain it and who would explain it. He didn't dare to say more because he didn't guess what Li Zhan would say next.

Li Zhan must be planning something.

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. "The Ministry of Revenue is so careless. How could they allocate the land of the Marquis of Bravery to the Sixth Prince?"

"The Ministry of Revenue has secret accounts for unrecorded land. Who wouldn't understand this?"

He spoke out first.

These words were what Li Zhan meant, but they could not come out of Li Zhan's mouth. Those who had ulterior motives could only blame him, a servant, for being too talkative.

Li Zhan will have an excuse when the time comes.

Zhao Wuji's trust in Li Zhan is not just due to his extremely high cultivation level.

Xiao Yu listened to him and took the opportunity to say, "It's not impossible that the Ministry of Revenue is pretending not to know!"

She must have known that it was Li Changping who did it, and he was trying to trip her up at this time. He was just trying to make things worse.

Among the five princes, the eldest prince and the second prince are the most powerful.

The eldest prince is the crown prince and is supported by the empress and Concubine Yi. Many civil officials follow the eldest prince's lead.

The second prince fought in many battles and enjoyed great prestige in the army. He also had the support of Princess Changping. The King of Zhenbei behind him was the most powerful of the four vassal kings.

The third prince is the son of Concubine Yi, so he is naturally a member of the prince's party.

The fourth prince's mother died early, and he seemed indifferent to fame and fortune, but Xiao Yu believed that he was a man of deep mind.

As for the fifth prince, he is the son of Concubine Yan. He is arrogant and domineering. He is the most talked about and ambitious among all the princes.

Li Zhan didn't comment much and just laughed.

"Someone was thinking of taking the initiative. Concubine Xuan's son is very sensitive to the gods. He used old grudges to win over a group of court officials. It was quite clever."

After hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

It is estimated that Li Changping is targeting the eldest prince, and wants to pull over those who have old grudges against Concubine Xuan and are wavering.

Since she attacked first, don't blame me for fighting back.

Li Changping was the first to break the balance, so use this as an excuse to get her out. If she dares to start a war, then I will fight back!

"Your Majesty, there are some people in the court who can't hide their secrets!"

Song Yichun took the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark.

Li Zhan didn't delve into it any further. He hoped these people would fight each other. "Anything else? Stand up and answer!"

The eunuch stood up tremblingly and said a few brief words about the Zongzhengfu's judgment on Chen Qian's death.

"So, the Sixth Prince is a demon?"

Xiao Yu looked at the eunuch with relief. From beginning to end, he had not implicated her, so he thought he was smart.

Li Zhan's face darkened.

Xiao Yu's words were directed at him. If the current prince was a demon, this chess piece would basically be useless.

The queen was reminding him that this prince must be treated.

It takes some effort to figure out how to protect Li Changqing.

"As for Concubine Xuan's son, it's hard to say. Back then..."

Song Yichun stopped talking halfway.

Li Zhan's face was displeased. "In the past twenty years, Concubine Xuan's power has been eliminated. Suddenly, a son appeared. He is considered a fish that slipped through the net!"

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that!"

Song Yichun was terrified and began to tremble all over as he quickly confessed his guilt.

After Concubine Xuan's downfall, Li Zhan was quite critical of the bloody tactics used in the court and almost turned against the court officials.

By bringing up the past at this time, Concubine Yi is courting death.

"Forget it, I'm afraid you're not the only one who thinks so, but others just don't dare to tell me!"

Li Zhan sighed, and a very complicated expression appeared in his eyes.

Afterwards, Zhao Wuji whispered a few words to Li Zhan.

"he came?"

Li Zhan asked, and Zhao Wuji said, "Here it comes. Princess Changping's plan is probably going to fail!"

……

Zongzheng Mansion.

Chen Changhe made it clear that Chen Qian was not killed by Li Changqing, and he did not want to pursue the previous grudges.

The Zongzhengfu could no longer use Chen Qian’s death to make a fuss.

"If there's any dispute regarding the young marquis's death, then we'll await the emperor's decree. Li Changqing is a demon, and that's undeniable!"

Li Changping pointed the finger at Xin Xueyi.

She secretly felt lucky that the Dream Builder Saint came at the right time, which gave her an excuse to punish Li Changqing.

Chen Changhe cannot get involved in matters involving the royal family.

"So what if he's a demon? At worst, it doesn't matter if I'm not the prince of the Great Zhou anymore. Just follow me back to the Dream Palace and live freely. I won't have to face these despicable people every day!"

Xin Xueyi spoke out.

She didn't take the Great Zhou Dynasty seriously at all, nor did she care about Li Changqing's ambitions, and still used the methods of the underworld.

"Hahaha, Li Changqing, Saint Xin has admitted that you are a demon. What else do you have to say now?"

Li Changping seized on this point and hammered him to death.

"Senior Xin said I'm a demon, so I'm a demon? Then if I said the princess is a bitch, then you really are a bitch?"

Li Changqing used Li Changping's logic to fight back against her, and the sharpness of his words almost broke Li Changping's defense.

"How dare you insult me!"

Li Changping could never figure out where the Sixth Prince got the confidence to humiliate anyone, and he immediately showed his imposing manner.

"Princess, are you trying to force a confession out of me?"

Li Changqing was not afraid of her tyranny at all, and he resisted the momentum head-on, "If you want to kill me, come at me openly and kill me directly. If you try to play dirty, you are no match for me!"

When Li Changping heard this, she immediately had the idea of ​​killing her. Even Concubine Xuan didn't dare to look down on her like this back then.

The young boy doesn't know his place.

"Li Changqing, don't be so shameless. Admit it frankly. I can consider crippling your entire body and bones. It won't be a problem for you to live as a rich and idle person in the future!"

Li Changping gave him a chance to survive.

Without cultivation, even if he is a prince, he is basically useless. He will not have any court officials to rely on, and he will not have any official position. He is no different from an ordinary local gentry and can no longer make any waves.

"It's fine for the princess to be a good wife and mother, but why doesn't she take care of her husband and children instead of stirring up trouble in the Zongzheng Mansion?"

Li Changqing retorted, "By the way, does the princess have no children?"

The child she raised was born to the concubine of the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and was given to Li Changping to raise as his son. This was something she was too ashamed to talk about.

"Li Changqing, I'll skin you alive!"

Li Changping was hit in the sore spot and immediately became furious, with murderous intent on his face becoming even stronger.

Cui Hao took the opportunity to jump out and said, "Princess, calm down. How about I kill this demon and vent your anger!"

"Boy, do you know your own worth? Kill him? Have you asked me?"

Xin Xueyi raised her hand and hit Cui Hao with several powerful blows, causing him to spit out blood.

"You witch..."

"you wanna die!"

Xin Xueyi was not polite at all and gave him a few more big punches, which made Cui Hao see stars and dare not say another word.

The Holy Lord behind him did not have the courage to show up like Xin Xueyi because this was the main palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was so angry that he almost leaked his breath and let the people in the palace notice it.

"Does practicing magic make one a demon? Among the many saints in my Great Zhou, isn't there anyone who practices it? And what kind of skills do the two Xiaoyao saints of your husband's family, the Zhenbei Palace, practice?"

Li Changqing directly exposed it, and Li Changping was speechless.

Xiaoyao, the second sage of the magic path, naturally practices magic.

"I founded a sect, butchered the righteous demonic cultivators and was called a demon. Can I establish a demonic sect? Can I kill innocent people?"

Li Changqing pressed harder.

"Then how do you explain, Dream Builder Saint?"

Li Changping shouted angrily, "Although you founded a sect, your relationship with the notorious Dream Building Palace is mysterious. Perhaps you have a status in the Dream Building Palace!"
