The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

The dark night was like spilled ink, casting a shadow over Emperor Ming's heart.

"Since the Regent is so interested, then come back to the palace with me." Emperor Ming glanced at Zongkui deeply and felt that Zongkui's visit to him should have nothing to do with his mother.

Moreover, what Zong Kui wants to say may be related to his mother.

Eunuch Feng glanced at Zongkui with some fear, then looked down at his toes. He had just exposed his identity related to the Queen Mother to Emperor Ming.

If he heard some shocking secret at this moment... Eunuch Feng felt a chill on his neck and sensed a sense of danger.

There is an alley from the Golden Palace to the emperor's bedroom, which is specially prepared for the emperor to attend court. At this moment, Emperor Ming invited Zong Kui to join him.

This narrow passageway did not allow the emperor's sedan chair to pass parallel to Zongkui's wheelchair. Emperor Ming tried to give way to Zongkui, but he refused: "I don't know the way."

Only then did Emperor Ming lead the way.

The narrow alleyway was filled only by the rustling of footsteps. The heavy night weighed down on the most distinguished emperor of Dongchu, and his bright purple imperial robes gradually melted into the night. Emperor Ming rubbed his fingers nervously, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Zong Kui, on the other hand, was sitting on the dragon throne with a relaxed look on his face, his deep black eyes seemed to blend into the night.

Bei Su, who was pushing the wheelchair, had a gloomy look on his face and his steps were a little difficult.

From the moment they left Nanqing, it was as if the gears of fate began to turn, and everything was moving in a direction that was unfavorable to them.

In other words, all this started from the moment Ji Xue died.

After Emperor Ming returned to his chambers, he dismissed the attendants, leaving only Eunuch Feng. Then he asked, "What does the Regent wish to discuss?"

Zong Kui raised his eyes and looked at the puppet emperor of Dong Chu: "I am leaving the capital now. I would like to ask the emperor to help escort and cover for me."

He said it as a matter of course.

These words made Emperor Ming's expression change suddenly.

"Wouldn't it be more confidential if the Regent discussed this matter with the Queen Mother?" Emperor Ming frowned, already feeling that this matter was definitely a bit tricky.

"Her Majesty has already refused," Zong Kui said nonchalantly, as if what he was talking about was not worth mentioning. "That's why I came to Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming's frown deepened. This was something he had not expected. Empress Dowager Xie had actually rejected Zong Kui's request, but Zong Kui had pinned his hopes on Emperor Ming's agreement.

This isn't right.

Emperor Ming spoke cautiously, "Prince Regent, you should know that the Queen Mother actually has more control over Dong Chu now."

"If the Queen Mother objects, there are many things I can't do."

Emperor Ming politely declined.

"In my eyes, your position seems to differ from that of the Queen Mother." Zong Kui's smile was mocking. "Your Majesty is not as young as Emperor Jing. Now that your descendants are grown up, do you really have no intention of taking power yourself?"

Zong Kui's phoenix eyes were deep, hiding an undisguised provocation.

Emperor Ming was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He winked at Eunuch Feng, who immediately went to the door to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

Zong Kui said sarcastically: "Don't worry, there's no one around."

Emperor Ming then spoke: "Prince Regent, please be careful with your words. That is my mother!"

"Has the Emperor noticed something?" Zong Kui raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with malice as he spoke slowly, "The Emperor's appearance doesn't seem to match the Empress Dowager's or the late Emperor's."

As soon as the words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Eunuch Feng, who was watching from the doorway, felt his legs weaken and he nearly fell to the ground. His vision went dark. Was this what he was supposed to hear?!

Emperor Ming was furious: "Prince Regent! How dare you speak so recklessly?"

Zongkui was questioning the identity of Emperor Ming.

A murderous look flashed across Emperor Ming's eyes.

At this moment, Emperor Ming didn't even want to care about the so-called reputation of leaving his name in history, he just wanted Zongkui to die.

"The Emperor will decide whether it is a lie or not." Zong Kui said calmly, "I wonder if the Emperor has heard of Ji Xue?"

He suddenly mentioned Ji Xue's name.

Emperor Ming frowned and said, "I've heard of it."

"Have you ever seen Ji Xue's portrait?" Zong Kui spoke slowly. His indifference formed a sharp contrast with Emperor Ming's tense body.

"No." Emperor Ming's brows knitted together, and he suddenly sensed something was wrong. In fact, when Ji Xue was notorious, Emperor Ming had also been interested in her.

He had also been curious about what Ji Xue looked like.

At that time, when someone wanted to present Ji Xue's small portrait to Emperor Ming, who stopped them?

Empress Dowager Xie, who happened to visit Emperor Ming, took the portrait away and mocked the emperor for not doing his job properly.

Every time, it seemed as if Ji Xue's information was blocked intentionally or unintentionally.

Emperor Ming's heart sank.

"That's such a pity. In fact, Ji Xue's eyes are almost exactly the same as the Queen Mother's. Those naturally charming fox eyes are really rare." Zong Kui raised the corners of his lips evilly and looked at Emperor Ming whose face changed drastically.

Eunuch Feng fell to his knees with a thud.

Emperor Ming turned to look at Eunuch Feng, his eyes wide and bloodshot. "What does the Regent want to say?"

Everyone in the world knows about the enchantress Ji Xue from Nanqing.

He also knew that if it weren't for Ji Xue, Nan Qing's position as regent would not be so stable.

Ji Xue and Zong Kui have a very close relationship.

Now, Zong Kui would definitely not mention Ji Xue for no reason, and Ji Xue was Zong Kui's minion. Emperor Ming felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

"I want to say, Your Majesty, please see me off. As long as I return home safely, nothing will happen!" Zong Kui saw that Emperor Ming had already understood the truth of the matter.

Therefore, the threat was not stated directly.

For smart people, it is enough for them to know each other clearly.

"Is the Regent threatening me?!" Emperor Ming's face darkened. He had already guessed what the truth was. Zong Kui obviously wanted to make him compromise with a few ambiguous words.

Emperor Ming was very unwilling.

"Obviously!" Zong Kui nodded as a matter of course, and continued slowly, "I have evidence of all the people involved back then."

"Ji Xue was sent to my side. Your Majesty, do you understand what I mean?"

Zong Kui's few words made Emperor Ming's eyes go dark. He looked at Zong Kui in disbelief. He couldn't believe that a figure like Empress Dowager Xie would actually give such a handle to the enemy.

But Ji Xue did appear beside Zong Kui suddenly.

If Zong Kui was really talking nonsense, there would be no need to bring up such an outrageous thing.

Sometimes the more outrageous something is, the closer it is to the truth.

"Why didn't the Regent tell my mother about this?" Emperor Ming's vision went dark, and he suddenly understood the reasons for Empress Dowager Xie's previous attitude towards him.

"Your Majesty, do you really not understand what I mean?" Zong Kui's smile grew even more sinister. "Back then, my father supported Queen Mother Xie, so now I can support Your Majesty."

"Are you willing to cooperate with this king?"

Late at night, Zong Kui's words sounded like the whispers of a devil.
