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

"You are guilty!"

"Your sins are grave, you deserve to die!"

A black phantom floated in front of Xu Chen, its eyes, burning with flames, reflecting the evil deeds he had committed that day.

All of this was projected onto the light screen by the Sixth Prince:

During the break in the morning court session, Xu Chen hurriedly summoned a young eunuch.

The young eunuch took a jade bottle carved with talismanic patterns and hurried towards the latrine.

It's really weird.

The video ends abruptly there.

After explaining, Xu Chen did not commit any further evil deeds.

The Third Prince asked sternly:

"Lord Xu, what is in that jade bottle? Tell me the truth!"

"Just a few pills," Xu Chen replied.

Although slightly nervous, he was clearly confident and fearless.

"Arrest that little eunuch, and see what bad things he's done. Then everything will be clear."

The fourth prince glanced at the evil spirits floating around Xu Chen, looking as if he hadn't had enough.

"Yes, seeing is believing!"

"I agree with the Fourth Prince's statement."

"I second the proposal."

……

After the Empress nodded, Ji Yu ordered the capture of the eunuch who had taken the jade bottle.

soon.

The Imperial Guards escorted two eunuchs in.

One was the young eunuch Xu Chen had previously met, and the other was a middle-aged eunuch.

The Imperial Guard pointed at the middle-aged eunuch and said:

"Your Majesty, we have caught Eunuch Qin in his attempt to murder Xiao Dezi, and he is currently being interrogated."

Xiao Dezi was that young eunuch.

No wonder Xu Chen seemed so confident.

It turned out that he had already arranged for the middle-aged eunuch to kill him to cover his tracks.

If it hadn't been for the Imperial Guards accidentally stumbling upon it, the chain of evidence would have truly been broken.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Xu Chen was pale and lay on the ground, kowtowing desperately.

No further proof is needed; it is certain that Xu Chen committed murder and framed someone.

The fourth prince kicked him to the ground: "Get out of here."

Then, he dragged the little eunuch in front of Zhou Yi and said excitedly:

"Let's see how he killed him."

This guy hasn't had enough of the novelty yet.

In the center of the main hall, the light screen rose again, and the images resumed:

The young eunuch carried the jade bottle, while the dog stealthily entered the latrine.

After determining the compartment where Imperial Censor Ou was located, open the jade bottle.

A wisp of black, deathly energy was blown in through the crack in the partition.

Immediately afterwards, a thud was heard from inside the partition.

hiss--

This deathly aura is truly formidable!

Just as the rumors say, touching it will lead to death.

If this person from the Imperial Observatory has their eye on them...

The ministers were terrified.

At the same time, I was extremely relieved.

Fortunately, the imperial grandson, an official, uncovered the terrifying figure lurking within the court.

Tsk tsk, this guy is really blind.

Of all people to offend, why did he have to provoke the Grandson of the Emperor?

Jiang Chong, Empress Yu Gou, and even the ancestor of the Underworld Clan...

Anyone who had a grudge against him was swiftly and decisively eliminated.

The princes felt powerless.

This imperial nephew, is he really that monstrous?

It seemed that nothing in this world could defeat him.

The second and sixth princes were even more frustrated.

Everyone here is a master, so why do you always act so clumsily?

The Grandson of the Emperor, however, was bold and decisive, and was always victorious.

"Huha..."

The fourth prince, who was about to burst into laughter, quickly covered his mouth to interrupt.

He pointed at the evil and said:

"This thing is actually a magic tool for solving cases."

"My lords, if there is any injustice, why not have it publicly tried?"

sweat……

The ministers immediately lowered their heads, none daring to be the first to speak out.

Having one's disgraceful past exposed in court will inevitably ruin one's reputation.

Many ministers are already planning to retire and return to their hometowns ahead of schedule.

No one dared to answer, then Zhou Yi suddenly said:

"Perhaps, Eunuch Ji, would you like to come?"

Ji Yu?

The ministers looked at Zhou Yi with surprise.

The Imperial Grandson is too fierce!

First, he killed Jiang Chong, a close confidant of the Empress Wu, and then disbanded the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Then, he forced Empress Wu to kill Empress Yugou.

Now, they've set their sights on the Empress's most trusted personal eunuch.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, please don't joke."

Ji Yu's fair face, with its red lips and white teeth, turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly.

Anyone who's gotten this far has a few secrets.

The Emperor's face darkened, clearly indicating that he was suppressing his anger.

The Third Prince stepped forward and said:

"Prince Yi, please do not speak nonsense. To interrogate someone who is innocent is to chill the hearts of all the loyal officials in the court."

"Yeah yeah!"

"The Prince of Yan is right!"

This precedent must not be set!

……

The ministers couldn't wait and echoed their agreement.

They feared they would be the next to be tried.

Zhou Yi's lips curled up as he glanced at the assembled civil and military officials in the hall.

The ministers felt as if they were being watched by an eagle's eye, as if they were being pricked by thorns.

"A court full of loyal officials? The military examination papers from Liangzhou were transported directly from the capital and were poisoned."

"When I was assassinated, Ji Yu actually shot a flying needle at me. Shouldn't this be investigated?"

"This imperial court has probably been infiltrated to an unknown degree."

Zhou Yi spoke frankly.

The ministers were speechless.

The issue of the Liangzhou exam papers was shelved because it did not cause any actual damage.

Zhou Yi brought it up again, and it really is chilling to think about.

They are clearly people with ulterior motives; their influence has already reached into the imperial court.

Lady Yu Gou, the Director of the Astronomical Bureau, is a living example.

"Your Majesty, this servant..." Ji Yu twisted her waist, her face full of grievance.

The court officials in the hall were immediately filled with reluctance.

The fourth prince was heartbroken.

"It would be good to prove it," said the Martial Emperor.

Ji Yu was, after all, a close attendant of Emperor Wu.

The replay of the images was limited to the period from when he took over the martial arts examination papers.

The light curtain opens.

There were no images or videos of this period until the end of the martial arts examination.

In other words.

During this period, he did not do anything bad.

Even when the flying needles were aimed at Zhou Yi, it was truly only to kill the assassin.

Zhou Yi never doubted Ji Yu's flying needles.

Because he did not sense any murderous intent emanating from the other party.

If the other party dares to kill him, he will definitely annihilate them with a single palm strike.

Zhou Yi never showed mercy to his enemies.

The martial arts examination paper had absolutely nothing to do with Ji Yu, which was quite unexpected for him.

If it wasn't Ji Yu, then who tampered with the exam paper?

The Mahayana sect assassinated him, clearly knowing there was something wrong with the exam paper.

Perhaps, their influence has already reached into the imperial court.

Zhou Yi's gaze fell upon the Martial Emperor on the dragon throne.

Just now, he wasn't worried about Ji Yu at all.

It was as if he already knew this had nothing to do with him.

and.

Just now, at the moment Zhou Yi committed his sins.

The Martial Emperor looked shocked and curious, as if he were seeing this thing for the first time.

Good acting skills.

"Tsk tsk, not bad!"

The Emperor exclaimed in admiration and laughed loudly, “My beloved ministers, let this be your proof of loyalty to the court.”

"Use the enemy's methods to strike the enemy!"

The fourth prince shouted excitedly, "Father is wise!"

The ministers were ashen-faced, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Many people collapsed to the ground on the spot.

A series of resentful gazes were cast upon Zhou Yi.

If I had known that the Imperial Grandson Si was such a prodigy...

Alas, I regret it now.

Even in the mire, there are white lotuses; even in the imperial court, there are incorruptible officials.

The minister, with a clear conscience, still focused on the dead fog in the sky.

after all.

This thing puts too much pressure on people.

“Your Highness Prince Yi, although the Imperial Observatory is guilty of slander.”

"However, since this deathly aura is related to Your Highness, I hope it will be burned away."

"Yes, let's get to the root of the problem and restore a bright and clear world for the people."

……

Zhou Yi looked up at the deathly fog filling the sky.

This thing is related to the Way of the Butterfly.

How could he possibly burn it?
