After Su Jixue finished speaking, the silence was so severe that you could hear a pinprick of air.

In the Battle of Gu'an, the War King was killed and 120,000 elite soldiers sacrificed. If this was the price of victory, then it can only be said to be a heavy price.

But if he was murdered, that would be sensational.

And now, Su Jixue is asking for this list, not in the name of the country, but on the grounds that someone is trying to murder her fiancé.

Even the Honglu Temple and Emperor Ming were unable to intervene and say anything about this matter.

Prime Minister Zhuang's face turned slightly pale, and he looked at Zong Kui with sharp eyes.

"Nothing to talk about?" Zong Kui's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face. Even the corners of his lips curled up in a sarcastic manner.

He could already feel the gazes fixed on him.

Now, the people in Dongchu must be scared.

The smile on Su Jixue's lips was also cold and sarcastic: "The Regent is probably aware of this."

Her life would require a lot of burial objects.

Zong Kui wouldn't think that she would not care.

Zong Kui and Su Jixue's eyes met in the air for a moment.

One was so cold and indifferent that it was frightening, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all. The other was calm but with a suppressed madness, and his eyes were filled with a murderous aura that could destroy the world.

"Okay, I will write the list for you." Zong Kui raised his phoenix eyes slightly, scanning the expressions of the Dong Chu officials: "However, I need to write it to you privately."

The moment he knew Su Jixue's identity, Zong Kui was waiting for such an opportunity.

At this moment, Su Jixue thought it was a difficult matter, but for Zong Kui, it was just a sacrifice of the people of Dongchu in exchange for a chance to be alone with Su Jixue.

The War King's expression suddenly turned cold, and he snorted coldly in response.

"That's impossible alone." Su Jixue refused without a second thought. She leaned over and grabbed the War King's hand, "But you can be with my fiancé."

The long sleeves of Zhan Wang and Su Jixue fell slightly, covering their hands which were clasped together with their fingers crossed.

Directly calmed down the violent anger that the War King had just felt because of Zong Kui.

Zong Kui frowned, but he knew that this was the closest distance he had ever gotten to Su Jixue: "Okay."

Zong Kui said, looking at Emperor Ming: "Then I'll leave it to Your Majesty to arrange."

When Emperor Ming was called, he looked at Zong Kui with a complicated expression, then looked at the people in the Golden Throne Hall. The moment Zong Kui agreed, many people's expressions changed consciously or unconsciously.

"Miss Su, do you want the list now?" Emperor Ming asked in a gentle voice.

Su Jixue glanced at Prime Minister Zhuang's expression and nodded.

"Come, take the Regent, Prince Zhan and Miss Su to my imperial study." Emperor Ming gave the order. He could not have a say at such a moment.

Moreover, Emperor Ming was actually a little curious about the list.

Su Jixue pushed the King of War, Beisu pushed Zongkui, and the four of them were taken away from the Golden Palace by Eunuch Feng.

The moment they walked out of the palace gate, the entire Golden Throne Hall exploded.

"So, whether it's what I heard before or what Miss Su said now, it's all true?!"

"There are really people collaborating with the enemy, and more than one?"

"Who is it? Who is this termite in the court?!"

……

Even the officials who usually spoke the least could not help but make a few angry remarks at this moment.

Emperor Ming sat on the dragon throne with a cold expression, his eyes filled with mockery. It was time for a change of blood in the court of Dongchu.

You must know that those officials who actually collaborated with the enemy were actually from the Empress Dowager's faction.

This Su Jixue is truly the lucky star of Emperor Ming.

The corners of Emperor Ming's lips curled up slightly, and he asked the young eunuch to go to the Cining Palace to inform the Golden Palace of the latest developments.

In the imperial study, Eunuch Feng quickly ordered his men to prepare pen and ink for Zong Kui to write. However, Zong Kui glanced at Eunuch Feng and said coldly, "Eunuch Feng, I want to speak to Prince Zhan and Miss Su alone."

Eunuch Feng was stunned and immediately asked the eunuchs serving in the imperial study to leave.

The only people left in the imperial study were Zongkui and Beisu from Nanqing, and Zhan Wang and Su Jixue from Dongchu.

"List," the War King said coldly and concisely. His cold eyes seemed to pierce Zong Kui's skin.

Zong Kui took the paper on the table, folded it while coughing, and handed it directly to Su Jixue: "The people above can fill it out themselves."

Anyway, all Su Jixue wanted was a clear path forward.

Now Zong Kui has given her this opportunity.

The War King's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he immediately knew that Zong Kui must have known. He knew that Su Jixue was Ji Xue, and this realization made him murderous.

"I don't know everything." Su Jixue looked at Zong Kui coldly and did not take the paper that Zong Kui handed over.

She refused.

"I want the entire list. If one person is missing, you can just wait for the poison to take effect." Su Jixue glanced at Zong Kui's face nonchalantly: "It seems that we won't have much time left."

All drug trials cannot be without cost. Zong Kui has already vomited blood, which is actually because the poison has entered his lungs.

When the poison takes effect, it will eventually spread to the heart.

At that time, cardiac arrest will occur.

"You witch, don't go too far!" Bei Su finally couldn't help but roar. Ji Xue was a witch, and it was actually possible for her to come back to life.

"Heh." Su Jixue responded with a sneer.

She's overdoing it?!

Just ridiculous.

From the very beginning, she was like a test subject, having her entire life manipulated.

"No room for negotiation?" Zong Kui locked his eyes on Su Jixue and asked only these four words.

Su Jixue slowly raised one corner of her mouth, her smile was wild and evil, and looked just like Ji Xue's smile in the officialdom.

This means there is no room for negotiation.

Zong Kui said to Bei Su calmly, "Push me over to the table."

Bei Su glared at Su Jixue fiercely, then pushed Zong Kui to write the list.

Zong Kui wrote down the names carefully, and when he was done he said to Bei Su, "See if there are any that have been missed."

Bei Su didn't understand why Zong Kui took Su Jixue's words so seriously: "Master, that's enough."

There is no need to write it all out.

"But now that I am suffering, how can I be willing to not watch Dongchu fall into civil strife?" Zong Kui handed over the list directly after seeing that nothing was missed.

This time, it was the War King who took the list directly.

The names on the paper with the ink still wet were so densely packed that it looked a little surprising.

Zong Kui was even so "kind" as to mark what each person had done.

"The Regent is truly cold-blooded." King Zhan couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the list that undoubtedly caught all those who had colluded with Nanqing.

"They are just a few dogs. They were able to contribute something to me in the end, so it was a worthy death for them." Zong Kui mentioned these people with disdain on his face.

The War King looked at the list and understood Zongkui's ill-intentioned words. If this list were made public, it would definitely cause unrest in the court.

These important figures in Dongchu, no matter how they flattered Zong Kui and tried to please Nan Qing, ended up being abandoned in the end.

"Also, Prince Zhan, do you know who Ji Xue's mother is?" Zong Kui said with a malicious smile, "And what was your original relationship?"
