After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"Uh……"

The Empress's interest was immediately dampened by half.

Having been rejected by Zhou Yi several times, she had developed a psychological trauma.

Empress Yu Gou walked to Zhou Yi's table, took Hu Die's hand, and turned to Emperor Wu, saying:

"Miss Hu Die is gentle and charming, well-educated and polite, and is a perfect match for the Sixth Prince."

The other princes and imperial concubines stared wide-eyed.

Empress Yu Gou, this is risking your life.

She actually dared to covet someone as ruthless as Zhou Yi.

Since Zhou Yi cannot become the crown prince.

Therefore, forming an alliance with him would definitely be a huge boost.

The Third Prince had been pondering for a long time how to win over the other party.

Marrying Hu Die is something he wouldn't even dare to dream of, even if he had a hundred lives.

The Fifth Prince was equally shocked.

Your Majesty is not a reckless person, so why are you being so impulsive today?

Zhou Yi continued to savor the fine wine, waiting for the Empress to finish her moves.

He naturally knew why the Empress had taken such a risky move.

because.

He had already made it clear to Emperor Wu that there was something strange about the Yao Mother Palace.

Empress Yu Gou was well aware that the two were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

and so.

She used the butterfly as a threat, advancing as a form of retreat.

really.

The Empress whispered:

"Prince Yi, help me, or I'll make you lose her."

Zhou Yi shook his head and continued drinking.

"Are you really going to fight to the death?" Empress Jade Hook asked through gritted teeth.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was too lazy to pay attention to her, she finally gave up and gave Hu Die a mysterious smile:

"I have left something for you; I'm sure you'll be interested."

Done.

She turned around and said to Emperor Wu:

"Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me this marriage, so that we may be a match made in heaven."

The Martial Emperor glanced at Zhou Yi but remained silent.

Hu Die was exceptionally beautiful, and he really hoped to marry the Sixth Prince.

but.

Not understanding the nature of her relationship with Zhou Yi, how could he dare to arbitrarily arrange a marriage?

Empress Jade Hook was displeased and said:

“Prince Yi, the sixth prince is fourteen months pregnant and has the appearance of Emperor Yao.”

Do you think he's not good enough for you, his sister?

"hehe."

Zhou Yi smiled faintly and finally spoke, "Sixth Imperial Uncle, you did indeed have the potential of a sage king. Unfortunately, you were ruined by your scheming."

"You, you... what do you mean by this?" the Empress said angrily.

"Your Majesty, you know perfectly well what's going on!"

"You are accusing me..."

"good."

A flicker of fear crossed Empress Yu Gou's face as she gracefully sat back down beside Emperor Wu.

"Your Majesty...you see, the Grandson Si doesn't respect me, the Empress Dowager, at all."

The Martial Emperor hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said:

"Prince Yi, let it go."

Zhou Yi said solemnly:

"How can the mighty Great Qian Dynasty and the Zhou imperial family be so timid and hesitant!"

The third and fifth princes were completely bewildered.

Why is the Great Qian Dynasty and the royal family involved when it's just an arranged marriage?

Empress Yu Gou's expression was somewhat solemn.

Is the time for reckoning truly approaching?

"Lady Yu Gou, whose origins are unknown, has infiltrated our royal family, and her crimes are threefold."

Zhou Yi remained calm, but each word he uttered was like a bolt from the blue, sending chills down everyone's spines.

The brain almost completely shut down.

The sixth prince is really bold; he has even removed the title of empress.

It's like they're challenging an utterly wicked enemy.

but.

Aside from being somewhat arrogant due to the emperor's favor, what crimes could the Empress possibly have committed?

Has the Imperial Grandson gone mad?

"Yi'er..."

The Empress had no choice but to stop him, her face even showing a hint of pleading.

however.

Zhou Yi didn't stop talking and continued:

"To kneel before a servant, a disgrace to the royal family, is a minor offense."

"To cause chaos in the harem is a grave crime."

"To attempt to undermine the foundation of our Great Qian Dynasty is a grave crime."

The Third Prince and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Of these three points, they only know that the master kneels before the servant, referring to Empress Yugou wishing Jiang Chong a happy birthday.

What else are they referring to, such as major crimes and serious crimes?

If it were anyone else, they would definitely scoff at the other person's nonsense.

However, Zhou Yi was different.

This grandson of the emperor never speaks without a purpose.

"Zhou Yi, stop talking nonsense!"

Without the Empress's support, Empress Yugou had no choice but to stand up and angrily rebuke:

"I am the Empress, the mother of the nation, and how dare you speak such nonsense and slander me?"

Zhou Yi smiled.

He raised his glass, admiring the aged wine, and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

"What have I done? What proof do you have?" Empress Yu Gou asked without any guilt.

Zhou Yigang had only been in Beijing for a day.

What they know is certainly limited, and there's no way they could have any evidence.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi, their faces also filled with disbelief.

Yes.

The accusation against the Empress was no child's play; no real evidence could be presented.

Now, even the Empress might not be able to protect him.

Only the Martial Emperor shook his head almost imperceptibly.

"Lady Jade Hook, there is a monster called Sin."

"You haven't heard, have you?"

Empress Yu Gou's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and her voice became somewhat unsteady:

"No, no... I haven't heard anything. How is it?"

A dead duck has a tough mouth.

Zhou Yi smiled faintly and said, "That thing can reflect all the bad things a person has done in their entire life."

The princes and imperial concubines nodded slightly.

They had never seen anything like it before.

However, I have heard some of these kinds of legends, whether true or false.

In other words.

If only we could find a wicked creature.

As a seventh-rank Grandmaster, Emperor Wu could see all the bad things Empress Yu Gou had done throughout her life.

but.

Damn, is it really possible to find this kind of thing just by looking for it?

Empress Yu Gou's face turned even paler, and she slowly sat down, placing her hands on the table.

What puzzled everyone even more was...

It's not surprising that the Queen felt fear when accused of a crime.

Even the usually tyrannical and bloodthirsty Martial Emperor looked extremely pale.

If Zhou Yi hadn't explained it so clearly, everyone would have thought that he was the one who committed the three major crimes.

The reactions of Empress Wu and Empress Wu illustrate this.

These three charges seem to be true!

"Your Majesty, I do not have it."

Empress Yu Gou gripped Emperor Wu's arm, her voice trembling:

"Your Majesty, I have given birth to the sixth prince, who is of the appearance of Emperor Yao."

All eyes were on the Empress.

The Emperor grabbed the wine cup, downed it in one gulp, and his face turned cold.

He stood up and said to Zhou Yi, "Prince Yi has had too much to drink."

"I've had too much to drink."

As he spoke, he swayed and reached out his arm, which was supported by Empress Yu Gou. "Let's go back to the palace to rest."

"Respectfully seeing off His Majesty!" The crowd rose to see him off.

The Empress turned around and said, "You all, continue eating and drinking, and don't waste any!"

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Ji Yu, on behalf of the king, explained:

"Distinguished guests, please obey the Emperor's decree and finish the food on the table before returning."

The Emperor's will is hard to defy.

Everyone returned to their seats and the banquet continued.

The atmosphere was oppressive; no one spoke in the hall, each person eating the food and drinks on the table.

Sudden.

A sharp, piercing sound rang out.

"Her Majesty the Empress has passed away!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

That's it, he died?

Many eyes secretly glanced at the table at the front.

He glanced at it, then immediately looked away.

It was as if they were afraid of being burned.

too frightening.

Despite his seemingly calm and humble demeanor, the Grandson of the Emperor is more terrifying than any flood or ferocious beast.

I killed Jiang Chong yesterday.

Today, we forced Empress Wu to kill...

……

Zhou Yi and Hu Die walked side by side.

Si Xuan followed behind.

The three of them remained silent, seemingly enjoying the peaceful night.

With large red lanterns hung up, the palace was as bright as day.

The Palace of Yao's Mother.

A bright crimson stain remains on the palace gate pillars.

Hu Die stood quietly, her gaze fixed on what lay beyond the palace gate, as if she were filled with anticipation.

The Queen said she had left something for her.

Moreover, she would definitely be interested.

"If you want to, then go and take a look?" Zhou Yi said from behind.

"It's definitely not a good thing."

The butterfly hesitated.

Yet, deep down, she yearned for it immensely.

It seemed that something was calling to her from there.

"How would I know if I didn't look?" Zhou Yi said indifferently.

He always acts according to his own will.

Hu Die decided to start from the heart this time.

……

Show the dragon plaque.

Zhou Yi drove everyone out of the palace.

Hu Die and Si Xuan searched every corner.

Got nothing.

Zhou Yi smiled faintly.

He raised his hand and reached out to grab a Taihu stone in the center of the pond.

"Rumble--"

The emerald green pool water is divided in two.

A plume of black mist shot into the sky.

"What is that?" Si Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly:

“Death energy!”
