I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Di Renjie's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making the already delicate situation even more dangerous.

She had already seen the bloody scene about to take place in this hall, but she was powerless to stop it from happening and could only stand by and worry. This deep sense of powerlessness made her feel extremely desperate.

Wu Meiniang heard all of this clearly and was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

She secretly groaned in her heart, wondering why she was so unlucky after just stepping into the hall. Was she going to die here with Di Renjie?

She was filled with resentment. She hadn't even opened her mouth to say a word, hadn't even used all her strength, but she had to face this life-and-death situation. It was really unfair.

Her eyes were panicked and her hands unconsciously clutched the corners of her clothes.

All she was thinking about was how to escape this sudden misfortune and flee this dangerous place. She didn't want to die in obscurity and become an unjustly killed ghost.

She still has unfulfilled ambitions in her heart, how can she give up her life so easily?

The Marshal listened to Di Renjie's words quietly and was slightly stunned at first, as if he had not expected Di Renjie to be so frank.

But in the blink of an eye, he lifted up the distinctive sickle-shaped mask on his face with both hands, threw back his head and let out a deafening laugh: "Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...Okay, okay! Good question! I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time!"

The laughter was like the cry of a night owl, echoing back and forth in the empty hall. It made people feel creepy, but it was difficult to grasp the deep meaning behind it.

There was a hint of pride in his laughter, making it difficult to discern his true emotions at the moment.

The sickle officer looked at the Marshal's arrogant and domineering appearance, and groaned in his heart. He shook his head like a rattle, silently expressing his protest against the Marshal's behavior.

The Marshal's temper was like this at the moment, and he was sure to start that terrifying "performance" again, but he could only worry and do nothing.

It's so embarrassing.

She has become accustomed to the Marshal's fickleness, but every time she faces such a scene, she still feels an immense headache.

The Marshal's laughter died down, and he fixed his gaze on Di Renjie. He spoke slowly, "You say only the Emperor can sit in this chair? Humph! Then I'll show you something today."

"I, the commander, am commanding this secret party, following the decree of His Majesty, and am specifically responsible for handling all obscure secrets and filthy matters within the Great Tang. My purpose is to check and balance the increasingly arrogant Jinyiwei forces and ensure the long-term stability of the Great Tang."

"So what if the emperor grants me special permission? What's wrong with executing first and reporting later? These are merely the most insignificant parts of the power granted to me by Your Majesty!"

"I may as well tell you frankly that His Majesty personally appointed me as the Night Emperor."

"In today's Tang Dynasty, all matters of the day are managed by Your Majesty."

"I will be in charge of all matters of the night."

"Why shouldn't I call you 'I'? However, I, remembering Your Majesty's great grace, am filled with gratitude. Therefore, I have lowered myself to a lower level, not daring to be arrogant and use such a title recklessly."

The Marshal's words were full of arrogance, making people feel the powerful aura of his power. At the same time, he also subtly revealed his complex emotions towards His Majesty, which included awe and a hint of unspeakable unwillingness.

After saying this, the Marshal suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Where are the secret party members?"

As soon as the voice fell, figures suddenly moved in the shadows on both sides of the hall. A group of people dressed in black and wearing masks quickly appeared. They saluted in unison and shouted in unison: "We pay our respects to the Night Emperor!"

The voice echoed in the hall with a majestic and powerful momentum, showing the majesty of the secret party and making people shudder.

These secret party members are all the Marshal's confidants. They have been strictly screened and are loyal to His Majesty. Their appearance is undoubtedly to show Di Renjie and others the profound background of the secret party and to warn them not to easily challenge the authority of the secret party.

The Marshal, with a smug look on his face, raised his head slightly and looked down at Di Renjie below with a condescending gaze filled with teasing. He asked proudly, "Di Renjie, open your eyes and take a good look at this Han Dynasty dragon throne. Now I am sitting on it. Tell me, is it my place to sit, or is it not?"

Every word the Marshal said exploded in everyone's heart, especially the three words "Emperor of Night", which made Di Renjie, Wu Meiniang and Zhang Xuanwei stunned and speechless.

Come. The title of "Son of Night" is so shocking that it makes people tremble with fear.

Compared with the identity of the Marshal of the Shadow Secret Guard, this "Emperor of the Night" is undoubtedly standing at a higher peak of power, controlling the country of the Tang Dynasty under the cover of night.

Since ancient times, through countless dynasties, there has never been a hearing of the existence of such a strange official position.

The emperor actually personally appointed someone to share the power of day and night with him. This situation was extremely rare and unimaginable even for the Grand Tutor Qi.

Such an astonishing thing has now been spoken by the Shadow Secret Guard Marshal himself, so its authenticity is naturally beyond doubt.

If such a confidential matter were to be spread out and enter the court, it would undoubtedly cause a huge storm, and might even cause the political situation of the Tang Dynasty to fall into chaos and the world to fall into turmoil. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Di Renjie and the other two were full of doubts at this moment.

Why did Your Majesty make such a bold decision?

Your Majesty, don’t you worry at all that the power of Emperor Ye will gradually expand and eventually threaten your own ruling position?

What kind of deep meaning is hidden in this?

Meanwhile, the sickle officer was still shaking his head and sighing, muttering to himself, "I told you it's too late. Now look what he's doing, he's pretending again."

Her tone was a little tired, revealing that she was used to all this and was numb to the Marshal's "performance".

The most embarrassing thing in this world is undoubtedly when acquaintances show off!
