Emperor Xuanqing pondered: "The reason you mentioned is okay...but what about the motive?
You and Eighty-Six probably didn’t have much interaction before, right?
There are no grievances or conflicts, so why would Eighty-Six kill everyone in your harem?"
Concubine Zhang said: "Your Majesty, Eighty-Six's motive is very simple. My concubine's son is the Fifty-Nineth Prince.
Although the fifty-ninth prince has already passed the examination and is not in the palace, he has continued to make achievements and improve his cultivation. He is on the rise. He is the first echelon of the royal family and is a strong competitor for the eighty-sixth in the future.
, there is a situation of natural opposition. In order to eliminate competitors, it is normal for Eighty-Six to take action, and it has nothing to do with hatred."
Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this, and they looked at Concubine Zhang, thinking in their hearts: "Eighty-six has just received key resources for training. It is the best time to practice in seclusion and strengthen herself. How can she have the leisure to eliminate her competitors at this time?
And even if we eradicate them, shouldn’t we target the weaker ones first?
No matter what, I shouldn’t have to deal with people like you, the 59th Prince and Concubine Zhang, because you are asking for trouble.”
"And even if Eighty-Six wants to eliminate his competitors, he should attack the Fifty-ninth Prince himself. There is no reason to kill all the unimportant people in your harem. Apart from irritating you and the Fifty-ninth Prince, what does this do?
significance?"
"On the other hand, you, Concubine Zhang, might have seen Du Xueqing soar into the sky after obtaining the best spiritual root. She was worried about the threat to her son in the future, so she secretly took action. Unfortunately, it failed. Instead, Du Xueqing discovered it, and then struck back and retaliated..." Everyone can
Thinking of this, Emperor Xuanqing naturally thought: "Even if Eighty-Six wants to eliminate his opponent, he should eliminate Fifty-Nine first, because only Fifty-Nine has any questions about her. There is no reason to kill Fifty-Nine without seeing her."
, it is illogical to attack your retainers, maids and attendants."
Concubine Zhang was speechless.
She couldn't say that she first sent Zuo Yan, a dead soldier, to assassinate Du Xueqing. If it failed, Du Xueqing would retaliate, right?
"Then I don't know. I am just making reasonable inferences based on the existing facts. As for Eighty-Six's motives, I can only ask herself."
Concubine Zhang pushed 265 and said coldly.
Emperor Xuan Qing nodded and did not ask further: "There is another unreasonable point. As far as I know, Eighty-six's cultivation level is only the peak of the early stage of becoming a god. Even if she is now practicing hard in seclusion, in such a short time,
She may not be able to break through, and even if she does, she will only be in the middle stage of becoming a god. For her, she may be invincible in the same realm, but it is unlikely to cross a larger realm.
There should be many monks in the Void Refining Stage under your command, and they may even be at the peak of the late stage of Void Refining. This is definitely not something that a talented junior in the God Transformation Stage can compete with. Could it be that they were all killed in Eighty-Six, and in
There was no resistance before death?"
Concubine Zhang could not explain.
In fact, she also found this point ridiculous.
According to normal principles, no matter how amazing and talented Eighty-Six is, even if he has the best spiritual roots, the limit is to be invincible at the same level.
Even if we go further, assuming that Eighty-Six can really fight across a large realm, then Dingtian will be able to compete with the early stage of refining the void, and he is still no match for the late stage of refining the void.
After all, there is still a huge gap between the early stage of refining the void and the late stage of refining the void.
However, it is true that Zuo Yan failed to assassinate Eighty-Six in the late stage of Lianxu and disappeared, so we cannot doubt that Zuo Yan escaped from the battlefield, right?
He doesn't have much life left, so what's the point of running away from the battlefield?
What's more, the Zhang family still has control over the bloodline of future generations.
Even if Zuo Yan disappeared mysteriously for some reason and never met Eighty-Six, the Zhang family's virtual refining monks in the harem were killed under her eyes and their corpses were destroyed without leaving any traces or breath.
, couldn’t they also suddenly and mysteriously disappear collectively?
After all, the natal soul lamp was gone, and no body or traces could be found. What else could it mean if it wasn't burned clean by a fire?
"Your Majesty is right. This is indeed unreasonable. I cannot explain it or analyze it."
After a while, Concubine Zhang said: "But no matter what, based on all the reasons and logic, Princess Eighty-Six is the murderer. Maybe she is hiding something, or she has some special means, we don't know."
Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded: "This can be explained. Concubine Zhang's guess is good. Eighty-six Du Xueqing has concealed her strength. She does have the ability to kill the Void Refining monk."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and turned their heads to look.
I saw a middle-aged woman striding into Tianji Hall through the opened door.
She is also dressed as a concubine, has a thin figure, and looks quite similar to the 152nd Prince, but she has a look of immense hatred on her face.
"She is the mother of Prince 152, Concubine Yun."
Many people recognized the middle-aged woman.
The young attendant from before ran all the way to get ahead: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yun just requested to see Your Majesty for the same reason as Concubine Zhang. Because Concubine Yun was in a more excited mood, she broke in before I could report to Your Majesty.
Come in and ask your Majesty's forgiveness."
Emperor Xuanqing waved his hand: "Go down."
The young entourage retreated.
Concubine Yun quickly walked forward and saluted Emperor Xuanqing: "I see you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he saluted Concubine Zhang again: "Concubine Yun has met Concubine Zhang."
She is also a concubine, and her rank is the same as that of Concubine Zhang. However, her cultivation level is only in the cultivation stage, which is a big difference from Concubine Zhang, so she naturally has to give gifts.
When Concubine Zhang saw her, she immediately thought of something and her eyes flashed, but because she was in the court, she didn't say anything and just nodded.
Emperor Xuanqing sighed: "Concubine Yun, I didn't expect 152...you have my condolences and are willing to accept the change."
The death of a prince was nothing to him, since he had plenty of sons and daughters anyway.
But Concubine Yun seems to have only one prince, Yi Wu Er.
It took a lot of effort for the 152nd prince to grow up, but he didn't expect that once they were separated, the white-haired man would send the black-haired man away.
Concubine Yun said coldly: "If your Majesty wants to comfort me, please bring the murderer to justice. That is the greatest comfort to me."
Emperor Xuanqing was not disgusted by her cold words and said: "Of course, I have just called in people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple and asked them to start investigating the murder of 152 in the palace. We must get to the bottom of it."
Concubine Yun shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to investigate. I know who the murderer is."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "You know?"
Concubine Yun said: "Yes, the murderer is Princess Eighty-Six, Du Xueqing!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked again! Concubine Zhang came to complain in person, saying that everyone in the harem was killed and the murderer was Du Xueqing.
