Chapter 284 The Truth
The next day, late at night.

The shady scene is empty, and everything is quiet.

At this time, a few nightingales sang to the sky, and the bursts of singing were clear and profound.

This also indicates that... tonight is destined to be extraordinary.

At the same time, Eunuch Li, the chief servant, sneaked into the Queen's bedroom.

He ignored the gorgeous curtain in front of him, but tiptoed to the incense burner.

Open it, put it in, and close it again, Eunuch Li's movements were very light, for fear of waking up the sleeping queen.

Not long after, bursts of strange fragrance hit, the taste is so refreshing.

Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction, turned around and was about to walk out the door.

Suddenly, there was a sudden change!
In an instant, all the candles ignited spontaneously out of thin air, directly illuminating the entire bedroom extremely brightly.

At the same time, several figures appeared.

Taking a closer look, it was Han Fei, Di Renjie, and the three who were still sleeping soundly just now.

"You, you..."

This sudden scene immediately made Eunuch Li stunned in place, and he became at a loss for what to do.

At this time, Han Fei said with a smile: "My lord, what are you doing in Tianhou's bedroom if you don't sleep at night?"

Eunuch Li's face was ugly, but he still squeezed out a smile, and then explained to several people:
"Recently, I heard that the Empress Dowager is restless and often troubled by the monster dragon. Thinking of this, the old slave is also tossing and turning."

"So, I took some incense from the Western Regions, hoping that Tianhou can calm her mind."

When he spoke, his tone was sincere and his expression was sincere, no one could fault him at all.

As a loyal servant who has served Tianhou for ten years, Eunuch Li's words are very convincing.

It's a pity that he ran into the three people in front of him.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Di Renjie never believed in one-sided words of individuals, only evidence can convince him.

Han Fei needless to say, as a modern person, under the baptism of various conspiracy theories, he has long passed the age of trusting others casually.

As for the Queen of Heaven, although she has not yet ascended the throne at this time, the power in her hands is already no different from that of an emperor.

And the emperor... is the most suspicious.

Hearing his words, Han Fei nodded: "There are good reasons, sincere feelings, and clear organization. It sounds very sincere."

"Unfortunately, you shouldn't be here tonight."

"What do you mean?" Eunuch Li suddenly looked puzzled, as if he couldn't understand Han Fei's words at all.

Seeing that he was still putting on a show, Han Fei no longer tried to keep it up, but chose to expose him directly.

"That day, when the demon dragon came into the world, it once said that within seven days, the Empress Dowager would die suddenly, and today happens to be the seventh day."

"You are very smart, choosing to start at this time is indeed beyond most people's expectations."

Everyone thought that after the demon dragon incident was resolved, the murderer behind the scenes would definitely go into hiding.

At least, it will not dare to appear again in a short time.

No one could have imagined that the murderer couldn't bear it any longer, and directly attacked Tianhou after only one day had passed.

"what are you talking about?"

Eunuch Li still looked puzzled, as if what Han Fei said had nothing to do with him.

"Stop pretending."

Han Fei shook his head: "You hate Datang deeply, and you have blood feud with the royal family even more. Naturally, what you said was not a random curse."

"You said Tianhou died suddenly in seven days, then it must have been planned, after all, the demon dragon can't kill people."

"So, today we are following the Queen of Heaven, just to see if there is anyone suspicious."

"No one made a move all day. I thought it was a wrong guess until...you appeared."

As soon as the words fell, Eunuch Li became very angry.

"You, you, stop talking nonsense!"

"My loyalty to the Empress can be learned from heaven and earth, so how could I have the intention of harming you?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the Queen of Heaven, and cried out sincerely: "Queen of Heaven, this old slave is indeed wronged!"

"I just want to do something to share the pressure for the Empress Dowager. I don't dare to commit any crimes. The Empress Dowager knows the lesson!"

Tianhou looked at him quietly, without any expression on her face, nor the slightest emotion in her eyes.

Although she didn't know whether Eunuch Li was loyal or traitor, she still chose to trust Han Fei and Di Renjie.

Because the two had saved her life before, and there was no reason to lie.

Taking a step back, even if the wrong person is caught or killed in the end, it is not a big loss.

After all, he is just a slave.

Then, Tianhou lightly parted her cherry lips and asked, "Director Li, how long have you been with me?"

"Ten years and three months."

After thinking for a moment, Eunuch Li hurriedly spoke out.

"Ten years, so it has been ten years."

Tianhou felt quite touched in her heart, how many more decades could last in her life, this is already most of her life so far.

Afterwards, her eyes were cold, her demeanor changed suddenly, and her tone became very severe.

"Tell me, who told you to do this, for the sake of ten years of love, I will leave you with a whole body."

"The Queen of Heaven..." Eunuch Li still wanted to struggle.

"Say!"

The indifferent tone completely shattered his illusions, and also heralded the complete failure of the so-called plan.

"Tian Hou, you are really unreasonable."

At this moment, Eunuch Li is still as cowardly as before.

He lowered his head, his whole face was hidden in the shadows, and his tone became very cold.

Seeing this, Di Renjie stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, tell me the truth of all this, and treat it as your last last word."

Of course it is impossible to live after committing such a heinous crime.

The number of people who died on the day of the blessing ceremony, as well as their identities, were enough to cause the participants in this matter to die dozens of times.

Eunuch Li cast a glance at Di Renjie, and then slowly told about his past life.

It turned out that he was indeed a member of the Fengmo Clan, and he was also the heir to the main line.

Back then, the Fengmo clan was accused of treason, and thus was brutally exterminated, and all relatives died in front of him.

That day, Eunuch Li seemed to have come to hell.

It's just that he was gifted since he was a child, proficient in various illusions, and blessed with treasures inherited from his family, so he survived successfully.

But even so, all the tragedies that happened at that time still followed like a nightmare.

Afterwards, Eunuch Li wandered around in the Tang Dynasty, cultivating esoteric methods while developing his power, looking for the right time for revenge.

At first, his first target was Taizong.

At that time, the Turks were in chaos. As long as Emperor Taizong died, the Tang Dynasty without a leader would surely be destroyed by the Turks.

The perfect revenge plan, he wants Datang to be the same as Qin Dynasty... the second generation dies!

Unfortunately, he failed.

At that time, Eunuch Li himself was too weak and had no helpers, so he had no choice but to die.

After another few decades, both his own strength and the forces under his command have become extremely large.

And the ruler at that time was Emperor Gaozong.

At that time, Emperor Gaozong ruled well, with a strategy of culture and martial arts, which was very popular among the people.

Eunuch Li decided to get rid of Gaozong directly, and then use his own power to spread the word and provoke civil strife in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, he failed again.

Because I met that person, that figure that people will never forget for the rest of my life, not handsome——Yuan Tiangang!
