Facing the questioning from Nie Tian and Weng Haoxuan, Hu Xiaoli looked a little ugly. Fortunately, her face was covered by gauze and others could not see clearly, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
She was impatient and said the wrong thing.
Mainly because Weng Haorui was so stupid just now, which made Nie Tian suspicious, which led to Hu Xiaoli also making a fatal slip of the tongue.
Although it is just a sentence to forgive sins on behalf of the emperor, if you look into it more deeply, it can be directly related to treason.
The biggest difference between imperial forces and ordinary sect forces is the emphasis on monarch and ministers.
The king is the king and the ministers are the ministers. No matter how weak the emperor is and how strong the ministers are, the status of the two must be that of master and servant, and they must not be crossed. Once the boundary is crossed, it will be the price of blood.
Nie Tian had a deeper understanding of the relationship between monarch and minister than anyone else.
In his previous life, he was the number one god of war in the heavens. Even so, he must abide by his duties as a minister in front of the Emperor of Dawn and Dusk. But even so, Nie Tian, who did not show any objection, was still plotted by Emperor Chen and Dusk's father and daughter.
Kings have always been cruel and ruthless people.
Battles for the throne, with fathers and sons killing each other, and brothers killing each other, were not uncommon. If a courtier utters disrespectful words, it is considered treason.
What Hu Xiaoli just said was a treasonous statement.
Even Weng Haorui, who was sitting next to the throne at this time, did not dare to say such a thing.
"It's just a sentence, why do you two make such a fuss out of a molehill?" Hu Xiaoli immediately calmed down, smiled lightly, and said: "Besides, for such a trivial matter, of course, there is no need to trouble Your Majesty to come forward in person, and His Highness the Crown Prince can forgive you."
Weng Haoxuan still wanted to hold on, but Nie Tian spoke first, who said: "Your Majesty, it seems that we won't be able to see His Majesty Da Chu today, right?"
Hu Xiaoli is a national teacher, and she said such a serious wrong thing, but Weng Haorui beside her did not react at all. This is the strangest thing.
Weng Haorui is the prince, that is, he will be the next emperor of Chu. He should be the one who reacts the most to Hu Xiaoli's treasonous words.
But he didn't react at all. There can only be one explanation for this, and that is that Hu Xiaoli was already the emperor in Weng Haorui's heart!
Another piece of information revealed by this incident is that the Emperor of Da Chu has been controlled by others!
Nie Tian heard from Gu Wuyou and Weng Haoxuan that they had not seen the emperor for half a year.
In addition, the reason why the Da Chu Emperor retreated to the harem is also extremely ridiculous.
Among the first-class empires, there is no one who can ascend to the throne without killing with blood on his hands. These people are all power-mad, how could they voluntarily give up the throne and retreat to the harem.
This reason is almost absurd.
Nie Tian guessed that perhaps the Emperor of Chu was controlled by someone three years ago, and it was not certain whether he was still alive now.
"Your Majesty is currently in seclusion." Hu Xiaoli said directly and coldly, cutting off all hope of seeing the emperor.
"Father is in retreat?" Weng Haoxuan's face darkened and he said loudly: "Why didn't I know?"
Hu Xiaoli did not speak this time, but Weng Haorui beside her spoke.
Weng Haorui looked at Weng Haoxuan, smiled coldly, with a look of ridicule on his face, and said: "Prince Xuan, you have too much control, right? Why did my father tell you in seclusion? As long as I, the prince of the supervising country, know, it's fine. As for you,
, not qualified to know!”
Weng Haoxuan's face turned gloomy, and the anger all over his body was suppressed around his body. He wanted to release it but did not dare to.
The prince is right, the emperor is in seclusion, there is indeed no need to inform him about this prince.
But Weng Haoxuan is not a fool, and of course he can detect the conspiracy atmosphere in this.
Nie Tian smiled faintly at this time and said: "Since His Majesty is in retreat, we will not disturb you. Your Highness, Prince Xuan, let us take our leave."
"Want to leave?" Weng Haorui saw that Nie Tian was leaving and stood up.
But the next moment, Hu Xiaoli glared at him fiercely.
Weng Haorui was very close to her and felt the other party's anger, so he was so frightened that he quickly sat down.
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for not holding me accountable for my fault." Nie Tian smiled lightly, once again perfectly capturing the small movements between the two of them, and without saying anything else, motioned for Weng Haoxuan to leave directly.
"City Lord Nie Tian, this" Weng Haoxuan obviously didn't want to leave and wanted to say something else.
Nie Tian directly sent a message to him and said: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, now is not the time to quarrel with them. I think you can also see that something big has probably happened in the palace. Let's leave first. For other matters, we will return to you later."
Let’s talk about it later at the palace.”
Yao Feike also nodded heavily to Weng Haoxuan at this time. He is a smart man and can figure out some things at a glance.
Weng Haoxuan nodded bitterly, and the three of them immediately walked out of the hall.
"Teacher, why did you let them go? This is the palace. I can say that King Xuan led people to assassinate me and let the palace guards kill me directly! And as long as the teacher takes action, they will die." Weng Haorui saw Nie Tian and others already.
He disappeared and spoke immediately, but before he finished speaking, he was greeted with a slap in the face.
"Pah!" Hu Xiaoli didn't move, but still slapped Weng Haorui loudly on the face, and said two words coldly: "Idiot!"
Hu Xiaoli has already seen that Nie Tian, Prince Xuan and others must be suspicious.
Why didn't she want to take this opportunity to capture Nie Tian? After all, Nie Tian had the power to help her open the Eye of the Evening Mark.
However, the secret guards in the palace did not accept her orders and were only ordered by the emperor. And now the emperor is sleeping in a coffin.
What makes Hu Xiaoli even more afraid is Yao Feike.
The fifth-level spiritual formation outside Yao Feike's body alone could ensure that Nie Tian and others left the palace unharmed.
If she attacks Nie Tian and others at this time, it will be tantamount to directly showing that the palace is already under her control.
"Now is not the time to break up with Prince Xuan. Be careful what you say in the future! If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful with your tongue!" Hu Xiaoli did not explain too much to the idiot Weng Haorui, but said coldly.
"Yes." Weng Haorui's throat rolled subconsciously, and his face was dripping with cold sweat. His face, which had just returned to normal, was filled with several fingerprints.
Hu Xiaoli glanced at Weng Haorui and said in his heart: "If it weren't for the fact that your Yuanling is a soul-eating bacteria that can devour other people's souls, I would not accept you as my disciple!"
Soul-Eating Bacteria!
It turns out that Weng Haorui's Yuanling is the Soul-Eating Fungus, which is a very strange Yuanling. It is an extremely tiny Yuanling with basically no fighting power, but it can swallow other people's souls and then control or even replace others.
"How long will it take to completely control the emperor?" Hu Xiaoli suddenly asked.
Not only did Weng Haorui successfully replace the prince, the next task Hu Xiaoli gave him was to replace the emperor.
"His Majesty's strength is at the fifth level of true energy, which is much stronger than the prince's. It will take at least half a year for the soul-eating bacteria to completely devour his soul." Weng Haorui covered his little face and said with great grievance.
"Yes." Hu Xiaoli nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up in a strange arc, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart: "In half a year, in another half year, I will be able to completely control the Dachu Empire. Pavilion Master, you leave it to Xiaoli
Xiaoli will complete the task soon. I hope you won’t break your promise and must return that thing to Xiaoli.”
The Lord Pavilion Master that Hu Xiaoli was talking about was none other than the Pavilion Master of Ling Xuantian Pavilion!
