"This fifth prince has even thrown his mother and concubine into the cold palace. Where did he get the confidence to threaten your concubine?"
Ling Yun asked out his doubts.
"No matter what he does, he is still a prince. Even if he threatens me, I can't do anything to him."
Concubine Hu sighed: "The fact that Emperor Yan can easily push Concubine Yu into the cold palace proves that in his mind, the concubine has no status at all.
Moreover, Emperor Yan punished Concubine Yu so severely, which is not only not a good thing for me, but also extremely disadvantageous."
"oh?"
Ling Yun looked curious.
"This move by Emperor Yan seems to attach great importance to me, and he is willing to destroy Imperial Concubine Jade for my sake."
Concubine Hu said: "But when he did this, I felt uneasy. When I met him before, I also sensed that his emotions towards me were very cold.
This shows that he is likely to attack me."
Ling Yun's eyes were slightly sharp: "Why is this?"
"Since ancient times, emperors have always been suspicious of their ministers. The higher the status of the ministers, the more suspicious they are."
Concubine Hu said: "My brother is a prince, so he is undoubtedly the number one suspect of Emperor Yan.
Over the years, Emperor Yan has been using various means to test my brother's loyalty, but my brother has always dealt with it properly, so it's okay.
But in the past year..." She looked at Ling Yun and paused in her words.
Ling Yun suddenly understood: "Is it because of me?"
Concubine Hu nodded: "Emperor Yan asked my brother to go to Daxia to hunt you down, but he failed.
No matter how my brother explained it, Emperor Yan had serious suspicions about my brother because of this incident.
Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will only continue to take root and sprout.
In addition, my brother also has political enemies, and they continue to secretly provoke him, deepening Emperor Yan's suspicion of my brother.
By now, Emperor Yan may not be able to tolerate my brother.
I, the concubine, and my brother are actually one and the same. If one day Emperor Yan wants to take action, he will definitely remove my brother and me together!"
"Don't worry."
Ling Yun smiled and said: "As long as I am here, Emperor Yan can't touch you."
He was in no hurry to take action.
After all, he has just broken through and still needs time to stabilize his realm.
In the next few days, Ling Yun practiced in Concubine Hu's harem.
Concubine Hu's situation also took a turn for the worse in the past few days! On the third day.
Suddenly, many strange eunuchs and guards appeared outside the Changqiu Palace, and the entire Changqiu Palace was immediately blocked.
On the fourth day, Concubine Hu received news through a secret line that Prince Jing had been imprisoned.
It’s the fifth day in the blink of an eye.
Lingyun came out of seclusion and talked with Concubine Hu in the main hall.
Concubine Hu told Ling Yun everything that had happened in the past few days.
After listening, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown.
In the country of Yan.
Emperor Yan has absolute authority.
Because he is a god.
No one in Yan country can resist whoever he wants to execute.
But when things got to this point, Ling Yun knew that he couldn't do anything unless he took action.
And since he wanted to take action, he decided to act more vigorously.
This is the Yanguo Imperial Palace, the home court of Emperor Yan.
Therefore, he only has one chance to take action! He must kill Emperor Yan with the power of lightning.
Otherwise, if Emperor Yan has a chance to breathe, he will never have another chance.
What's more, Ling Yun didn't do anything in the past few days.
Concubine Hu stayed in the palace for eleven years.
In the past eleven years, Concubine Hu had more or less developed some connections.
Therefore, Ling Yun used Concubine Hu's connections to secretly poison Emperor Yan.
Tianji silk! It is colorless and odorless. When the poison is released, people will not notice anything abnormal.
Concubine Hu once saved a eunuch.
That eunuch worked in Emperor Yan's imperial study.
For these five days, the eunuch would pour some water containing Tianji silk into a potted plant very close to Emperor Yan every day.
This is the job of this eunuch.
His actions did not arouse any suspicion.
In order to avoid exposing any flaws, Ling Yun specifically asked the eunuch to select plants that were highly resistant to the toxicity of Tianji Silk.
Otherwise, ordinary plants are likely to show symptoms of poisoning, causing Emperor Yan to notice abnormalities.
Now, five days have passed.
There was nothing wrong with the plant.
This was one of the reasons why the eunuch was willing to do this for Concubine Hu.
Although he was extremely grateful to Concubine Hu, he would definitely hesitate if the chance of exposure was too high.
Now that the chance of exposure is low and he can repay Concubine Hu for saving her life, he is naturally more happy.
Moreover, Concubine Hu did not say that she was planning to harm Emperor Yan, she only told him that it was a kind of love medicine that could help people have fun in the boudoir! The eunuch had no doubt about this.
In his opinion, Emperor Yan is a demigod and invincible. No one would be stupid enough to harm Emperor Yan.
That is impossible to succeed.
Therefore, Concubine Hu most likely wanted to gain the favor of Emperor Yan.
In the harem, it is extremely normal for the concubines to use various means to gain the favor of Emperor Yan.
However, at this moment, Ling Yun calculated that in five days, the amount of Tianji Silk in Emperor Yan's body should have accumulated to a certain extent.
He used the method of boiling a frog in warm water.
The amount of poison administered every day is not much.
But after five days, the amount of poison is definitely quite a lot.
In addition, Emperor Yan would never have thought that there was another being with the power of a demigod in the palace at this moment, and that he would attack and kill him.
So in the current situation, Lingyun actually has an absolute advantage.
Under such circumstances, how could Ling Yun hesitate?
Royal study room.
Emperor Yan is studying.
"His Majesty."
A eunuch appeared outside the door.
"Cao Daban, what's the matter?"
Emperor Yan said.
Cao Daban was Cao Chunbao, the chief eunuch of the Yan Kingdom, and one of the most capable generals under Emperor Yan.
Cao Chunbao is in charge of Red Flame Terrace.
"Chiyantai has found important information about Ling Yun."
Cao Chunbao said.
"oh?
Come in."
Emperor Yan's expression moved slightly and he put down the book in his hand.
Cao Chunbao immediately walked into the imperial study.
"Go on."
Emperor Yan said.
"We have found out that after Ling Yun arrived in the Daxia Empire, he joined the Lei Ming Martial Arts School in Yangcheng..." Cao Chunbao said slowly.
Next, he told almost everything about Ling Yun's experience in Yangcheng.
Of course, what he said was only information about Ling Yun's identity.
As for what "Ling Junjie" did, Chiyantai did not find out.
Therefore, according to Chiyantai's intelligence judgment, Ling Yun is still just an outstanding disciple of Lei Ming Martial Arts School.
Although excellent, he has not yet reached the level of a true powerhouse.
However, the fact that Chiyantai was able to detect these is already very impressive.
After all, Yangcheng is in Daxia, and it is very difficult for spies from other countries to operate in Daxia.
"It's a talent, but it's a pity..." Emperor Yan sighed.
He didn't finish what he said, but Cao Chunbao understood what he meant.
Ling Yun is a talented person, but it is a pity that he cannot be used by Emperor Yan.
"And..." Cao Chunbao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Chiyantai found out that when he was in Yangcheng, there was a mysterious Supreme Being who helped Danqing Pavilion many times, and later also helped Huajiafang City.
Although the martial arts used by this mysterious supreme master have been disguised, it can still be seen that they are similar to the martial arts of Prince Jing.
In addition, Danqing Pavilion and Huajiafang City are both related to Lingyun."
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the royal study dropped a lot.
Kings have been suspicious since ancient times.
Emperor Yan is no exception! Prince Jing has long been suspicious since he hasn't killed Ling Yun for so long.
Therefore, he did not fully trust Prince Jing a long time ago, so he secretly asked Chiyantai to investigate.
Now that the information found by Chiyantai made him instantly sure that Prince Jing was really involved with Ling Yun.
"Haha, Cao Daban, do you believe that Prince Jing really can't kill Ling Yun?"
Emperor Yan laughed.
Cao Chunbao's face was covered with cold sweat and he did not dare to answer.
"I think it's not that he can't be killed, but that he doesn't want to be killed."
Emperor Yan's eyes turned cold.
"But...but Prince Jing is the Lord of Yan, why would he do something to your Majesty for a young man..." Cao Chunbao swallowed.
"You want to say that you are being obedient to me, right?"
Emperor Yan's tone was cold, "Ambitious people always think more, and they are more likely to feel pity when they meet talents.
This Lingyun martial arts talent is so powerful, if it can be cultivated, it will be a good sword.
Prince Jing, I was somewhat tolerant of him before, but now it seems that I am too merciful."
At this moment, he sentenced King Jing to death.
A king is not afraid of his officials being greedy, but he is afraid of his officials being disloyal.
Prince Jing had great power and high status, so he could not tolerate such people being disloyal to him.
On the surface, he is a demigod, possessing absolute force and seemingly not caring about the loyalty of his subordinates.
But in fact this is not the case.
Precisely because he is a demigod, he cannot tolerate this kind of thing.
If a person like King Jing rebelled, it would have a huge impact on the Yan Kingdom.
And for a strong martial artist like him, the demand for resources is extremely huge! The Yan Kingdom is his training resource bank.
In order to ensure his practice, the Yan Kingdom must be stable! King Jing is disloyal to him and may threaten the stability of the Yan Kingdom, so King Jing must die.
"Cao Daban, please convey my decree immediately. Prince Jing is treasonous and will be sentenced to death. Concubine Hu is unvirtuous and will be deprived of her position and thrown into the cold palace!"
Emperor Yan said coldly.
"yes!"
After a while, Cao Chunbao walked outside with the imperial edict.
Not long after Cao Chunbao left.
"who?"
Emperor Yan's eyes suddenly burst with cold light, piercing the window.
The imperial guards outside the imperial study immediately reacted and rushed towards the direction Yan Emperor was looking at.
However, the speed at which they flew back was faster than the speed at which they jumped out.
In just a blink of an eye, all the Ouchi guards who rushed in that direction flew back.
Not only that, the heads of these imperial guards were all separated, and their blood spilled into the sky.
This situation immediately caused a huge noise inside and outside the Imperial Study Room.
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Yan was furious.
Before he could finish his words, a figure rushed in from outside.
This figure didn't hesitate at all, and directly launched a killing move against Emperor Yan.
Its attack speed was extremely fast, and only a white shadow was seen, striking at Emperor Yan like lightning.
Emperor Yan is powerful and domineering, and the power of strong flames bursts out.
Bang bang bang...in the blink of an eye.
The two sides collided fiercely, and you and I exchanged more than ten moves.
"She's still a woman?
Where did you come from as an assassin, and why did you want to assassinate me?"
During the fight, Emperor Yan had clearly seen his opponent's appearance and his pupils shrank.
The assassin in front of me has a graceful figure and is actually a stunning woman.
And such a woman was clearly a powerful demigod like him! The stunning assassin did not answer him and attacked at a faster speed.
