Zhu Yuexian's red lips parted slightly, but the words she spoke made everyone present change their expressions.
The air suddenly became gloomy and depressing. Everyone's heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and everyone instinctively felt trembling and panic.
A trace of shock flashed across Cao Qingyuan's eyes, and he soon calmed down. He looked directly at Zhu Yuexian and said, "I can understand His Highness's mood..."
"Understand? Do I need you to understand?"
Zhu Yuexian interrupted him, sneered, and said, "Cao Qingyuan, my patience is limited! If you, a loser, can't find the murderer again, I will only let you know the consequences!"
With that said, she turned and left.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuexian left that the frozen atmosphere here eased.
Cao Qingyuan's expression became gloomy and uncertain. Although Zhu Yuexian's attack was only for a moment, the power revealed made him a little frightened.
"Blood Martial Saint?"
There was a bitter taste in his mouth. Could it be that Zhu Yuexian really took that step?
For a moment, the deaths of the twelve Xuanjia soldiers were all forgotten by him. There was only one thought left in his mind: If Zhu Yuexian really took that step, according to the ancestral training of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't she also be qualified to compete for the throne?
?
A queen!
Just thinking about it is enough to scare him!
You must know that this woman's maternal grandfather, Zhao Kuangyi, was the last governor before the late emperor's reform, and was the nominal marshal of the world's military forces!
The name of the Zhao family’s military sect still remains!
He definitely has the qualifications to be Zhu Yuexian’s backing!
Once Zhao Kuangyi enters the situation, the situation in the court may change dramatically, and even the position of Prince Zhu Zhaoting may be unstable!
Thinking of this, Cao Qingyuan directly left the matter here to his subordinates and asked them to continue investigating the twelve mysterious armor soldiers. He left in a hurry and disappeared. In front of everyone.
And the other side.
Zhu Yuexian left the palace and went to Zhao Mansion.
Although the Zhao mansion is located in the inner city, it is not in Dongcheng District where civil and military officials gather, but in Nancheng.
The slightly old old courtyard has carried hundreds of years of hardships of the Zhao family. They emerged after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, not before. Otherwise, I am afraid that there would be one more prince among the twelve kings!
"See Your Highness."
The guard at the door saw Zhu Yuexian and saluted quickly.
"no!"
Zhu Yuexian waved her hand and walked in.
After passing through the foyer and corridor, she found her grandfather Zhao Kuangyi's small courtyard by familiar means. As soon as she entered, she saw Zhao Kuangyi dozing off on a deck chair by the lake.
He is already over eighty years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man in his fifties, with slightly gray hair that hangs down behind his back, and fair skin on his face, exuding the aura of a scholar.
The world would never have imagined that the Grand Governor who was in charge of the world's military forces now looks like an ordinary scribe, as if all his sharpness has been worn away by time!
At this moment, his legs were covered with a blanket, and a book fell on the ground beside the recliner. It could be vaguely seen that the book was only half written, and the remaining half was still blank.
Zhu Yuexian walked up to him and saw the book he had dropped on the floor. He bent down to pick it up and was about to look through it. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyi, who seemed to be asleep, moved and opened his eyes.
"Yue Xian, you are here."
Zhao Kuangyi's voice was calm, and the figure of Zhu Yuexian was reflected in his eyes. The figure was like a ball of flame, with vitality and blood as strong as a furnace.
"Grandpa, it's my fault for waking you up."
When Zhu Yuexian saw Zhao Kuangyi wake up, he looked apologetic.
A kind smile appeared on Zhao Kuangyi's face, he shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, people are older and sleep very lightly. There is no difference between being awake and sleeping."
Zhu Yuexian placed the book that fell on the ground next to him, and straightened the blanket covering him.
Zhao Kuangyi looked at her and sighed: "I have arranged for people to investigate your mother's matter. Unfortunately, the Skin Demon King has incarnated thousands of times, and I have never been able to locate its true form. It seems to be protected by the remaining energy of the emperor."
Zhu Yuexian's face darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "So, it's really possible that the deposed prince's lineage did it? Is it revenge, or does it have an ulterior motive?"
Having lived in the palace for a long time, she had also heard about the deposed prince's lineage.
The shadow of the deposed prince that has lingered for so many years is actually a shadow on the hearts of the royal family of Zhu Gaolie. After all, the deposed prince had always had great prestige, and he even used the title of prince to supervise the country in the late days of the late emperor.
More than 20 years have passed, and his old subordinates still exist in both the government and the public, and their covert influence continues.
There are even rumors that the deposed prince is not dead!
In the early years, Zhu Gaolie had purged the court several times and even arranged for his close friends to travel far and wide to investigate. Unfortunately, he never got the exact information.
Zhao Kuangyi looked calmly and said: "I can't be sure. However, your mother's death will not be forgotten like this!"
After a pause, he looked at Zhu Yuexian and continued, "How is the progress of your cultivation?"
When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Yuexian's expression became serious.
"There is only one last step left to enter the Blood Martial Saint!"
There was a look of determination on her beautiful face, and she said, "Today I came out of the palace to see my grandpa, and I just want to ask him, do I really want to Promotion?"
Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhu Yuexian's face. It was obvious that she had already made a decision in her mind. The reason why she asked was naturally to get his support.
Perhaps in other words, it is the support of the Zhao family's military sect.
So, he said seriously: "As a princess, you should stand on the scene. After all, if you want to change the Ming Dynasty, you must have the ability and status to change everything!"
"But, are you ready?"
Zhao Kuangyi's last sentence hit the point.
Fight for the throne!
This is not a trivial matter. Most of the bloody events in the past dynasties were caused by this. Once it fails, not only myself, but also all the supporters will die.
Zhu Yuexian took a deep breath, took two steps back, saluted solemnly, and said, "Please help me, grandpa."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhu Yuexian, slowly got up from the recliner, walked to her, and said, "Since you have this intention, grandpa will naturally help you."
“Perhaps it’s time for Ming Dynasty to make some changes.”
Zhao Kuangyi said solemnly.
"Thank you grandpa!"
Zhu Yuexian solemnly clasped her fists.
There was a look of determination on her face, and the next second, the energy and blood in her body surged out!
