"What is that? A monster? It's such a strong demonic energy that I can feel the power of the curse from such a distance!"
"No way? Monsters? Isn't the king protected by dragon veins? How could there be monsters invading?"
"It's chaos! It's chaos! It's going to be chaos!"
…
…
In the Prince Regent's Palace, Xuanyuan Zhiji stood on the edge of the balcony with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and stared at the sky above his head with a pair of slightly upward eyes full of sinister color.
"A real dragon was born!"
Xuanyuan Zhiji looked a little excited, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a deep voice: "If the real dragon belongs to me, then winning the status will be just around the corner!"
"Can Xue." Xuanyuan Zhiji said coldly.
In the darkness, a figure emerged. The woman was wearing extremely simple clothes. She had an average appearance and was pretty at best. There was a scar on the left side of her forehead.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Can Xue, one of the four shadow guards of the Prince Regent's Palace, although she is only a woman, her cultivation level is higher than that of Xi Feng.
"Go and help me find out the origins of the real dragons and monsters fighting in the sky above the royal capital today!"
"Yes!" Can Xue lowered her head and responded, and the black figure disappeared in an instant.
After Can Xue left, Ben Lei, another one of the four shadow guards, appeared behind Xuanyuan Zhiji.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yangyue committed murder in the palace. Queen Xiling and His Royal Highness Prince Yu put her on death row. The Senate will hold a trial tomorrow!"
"What?!" Xuanyuan Zhiji turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, his face turned black, and he said sternly, "Who did Yang Yue kill? Why did he kill?"
Ben Lei kept his kneeling posture and replied in a deep voice: "When Princess Yangyue was dancing the fox spin dance at the peony banquet, Qian Yu's clothes tore apart, causing a big ugly scene. The princess suspected that it was Jingying who did it.
I tried to teach her a lesson in Fusheng Palace, but accidentally killed her."
The panic on Xuanyuan Zhiji's face subsided a bit, his sinister eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked: "Just kill a Jingying?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ben Lei replied very respectfully, "Jingying is a second-level female official, and the princess killed someone in the floating hall of the palace. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. The situation is very serious."
"Humph!" Xuanyuan Zhiji snorted coldly, and said with mockery at the corners of his brows and eyes, "I thought something big happened, but I just killed a Jingying, so it doesn't matter."
Ben Lei raised his head in great surprise, and there was a faint flash of lightning in his black eyes, and said: "But the prince, the princess killed someone, and the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law..."
"Yang Yue didn't kill people, she killed slaves." Xuanyuan Zhiji narrowed his sinister eyes and raised the corners of his lips with a hint of disdain, "Back then, Jingying and Jingshu were both sold into the Regent's Palace as slaves.
Even if Jingying is later promoted to a second-level female officer due to her outstanding performance, the fact that she is a slave will still not change."
Ben Lei was stunned.
"In the Jialan Empire, it is not a big deal for a master to kill a slave who has committed a crime." A look of pride flashed across Xuanyuan Zhiji's face, "Let's wait and see at the Senate's Supreme Judgment Meeting tomorrow.
As long as I am here, Yang Yue will definitely come back safe and sound!"
It was obviously something to be happy about, but as a slave, Ben Lei felt a strong sense of sadness in his heart.
