In Taiming Hall, Xu Li was restless.

This chair was gilded and carved with dragons. Even though it was covered with a thick layer of cushions, it was still uncomfortable to sit on, and the armrests were too far away. He didn't know where to put his hands, which was very embarrassing.

There was sweat on his forehead, and he really wanted to wipe it off with his hands, but all the civil and military officials were standing there, waiting quietly, the hall could hear needles falling, even if it was the sound of his sleeves rubbing against each other when he raised his hands, They were all so clear and abrupt that he didn't dare to move at all, so he had to maintain a stiff posture, trying to make himself look calmer.

Even if his heart was already in chaos like a boiling pot, he was throbbing, eager to overthrow all the appearances of calm.

There was a soft "click", which was very clear in the silence. Xu Li was shocked, and when he raised his eyes, the celadon cup fell on the table in front of him, and Si Tong was smiling at him from the side, with encouraging eyes.

Xu Li picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but the teacup shook because of shaking hands, making a series of noises, and he had no choice but to put down the cup again.

He was nervous and anxious, and had lingering worries, plus he hadn't slept all night, and everything he saw had a blurred double image.After sitting for a long time, the spirit gradually went into a trance.He didn't wake up from the dragon chair until the palace people outside reported long and loudly that Prince Yu and the national teacher had arrived outside the palace, and he woke up from the dragon chair, stood up and shouted: "Don't let them in!"

His instinctive expression of panic fell into the eyes of everyone present, and Xu Li suddenly became more nervous, because Dai Zheng stood at the forefront of all officials, and he seemed to see disdain from Dai Zheng's face.

"Your Highness, don't be nervous," Sitong stepped forward to support his trembling arm, and said in a warm voice, "With the blessing of the Dragon God, thieves are nothing to be afraid of."

Xu Li's Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Where is Dragon God now?"

Si Tong said: "It's nearby. When Your Highness needs him, he will appear. Besides, isn't the princess already invited into the palace? Don't worry, Your Highness, they don't dare to mess around."

Xu Li felt a little relieved.

"The hall is cramped, General Zhao's people can't get in," he cleared his tight throat, and said, "Let the hall... let Prince Yu step back five zhang, and all the ministers go out to have a look."

Down the 39 steps outside the hall, Zhao Heng's men surrounded Xu Boyuan and Ying in the center, making a huge presence.

Seeing Xu Li come out, Zhao Heng stood beside Xu Li with a sword in his uniform, which gave Xu Li a great sense of security.

Neither the so-called Dragon God nor Sitong, nor the former Ying Zhou, could give him such a sense of security, because it was an existence that he could not control, and he couldn't even tell who was the enemy and who was. friend.

"Your Highness," Xu Boyuan saluted first, as if he hadn't noticed the surrounding posture at all, and said with a natural expression, "The minister and the national teacher were ordered to check the changes in the sky in the suburbs of Beijing, and found a village ten miles to the southwest. More than a hundred people in the village are all monsters. Killed, the mutation was also caused by monsters..."

Xu Li's complexion changed drastically, "What did you say?!"

Xu Boyuan was interrupted, paused, and then finished speaking, "The national teacher has eliminated the monsters, Your Highness need not worry. I beg your orders to bury the corpses of the common people as soon as possible."

When Xu Li heard this all of a sudden, she was shocked and forgot the cause and effect, and looked at Ying Zhou behind Xu Boyuan, only to realize that Ying Zhou looked a little haggard, and the white cat in her arms was also motionless, as if injured.

Xu Li said: "What on earth is this..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed over from the aisle of the side hall!

Concubine Li Hui's face was still full of tears, she rushed to Xu Li's side, and screamed at the bottom of the steps: "It's them! Quick! General Zhao! Take them down!"

Xu Li's eardrums buzzed and ached from her cry, Xu Boyuan frowned and said, "Concubine Lihui, this is the Taiming Palace, women in the harem are not allowed to enter or leave, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to testify!" Concubine Li Hui was quite confident, and she pointed at them with a finger in glazed armor, "You two assassinated His Majesty. I saw it with my own eyes last night. Your Majesty has not yet woken up. How dare you come back to the palace openly! It's the opposite!"

Xu Boyuan said: "It's better to say that it's because the national teacher and I dared to come back, which shows that the matter was not our fault. Concubine Li Hui, you are not unaware of the matter of Concubine Lou Gui. There are many monsters in this world who are good at deceiving people and are good at creating illusions. , What you see with your own eyes may not be true. What happened last night, I am afraid that some monsters pretended to be me and the national teacher."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Li again, and asked calmly, "Your Highness, how is the emperor's dragon body? What does the imperial physician say, does it matter?"

Xu Li didn't make a sound, Dai Zheng behind him took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the wound on the Emperor's body is a sword wound, not serious, but he is still in a coma for some reason, and the imperial doctors are unable to do anything, and they are still discussing countermeasures."

Xu Li turned her head and glared at him angrily, "Master Dai! Did Gu allow you to speak?!"

Dai Zheng smiled and said, "But His Highness didn't say no to my minister."

Xu Li was anxious, pointed at him and said, "You used to look down on Gu, and you kept talking nicely about your cousin in front of the father, but Gu didn't bother with you. But now the father is seriously ill, and the cousin is suspected. Are you going to collude with him and seek to usurp the throne?!"

Dai Zheng said: "I don't dare to seek to usurp the throne, the minister is just discussing the facts."

He never looked down on Xu Li's brain.

Under the circumstances, Xu Li's fluent "cousin" unreservedly exposed his panic and uneasiness. He still subconsciously didn't want to offend Xu Boyuan. The self-confidence and contempt that the master should have.

Xu Li's face flushed red with anger, "Shut up, Gu!"

Dai Zheng's eyelids moved. If there weren't so many people present, he really wanted to roll Xu Li's eyes.

Xu Li turned her head and said to the two people under the steps: "Cousin, you said you didn't do it, do you have evidence to prove it?"

Xu Boyuan said: "There are traces of ministers and state teachers fighting with monsters in the village ten miles southwest of the suburbs of Beijing. Your Highness will send people to investigate and find out."

Xu Li said: "Is it with a monster? Have you already subdued the law?"

Xu Boyuan nodded, and replied: "It's an adult tarantula, which has been entangled in the capital for many years in human form, and has been killed by the national teacher."

Ying Zhou, who had been silent all this time, finally looked up at Xu Boyuan.

A'Zhu didn't kill him, it was all due to Xu Boyuan's strength alone, he didn't make a move at all.

A few months ago, he might not have understood why Xu Boyuan said that, but now, he already understood that Xu Boyuan was lowering Xu Li's guard against him, because Xu Li was very afraid of him.

That kind of fear is like the rabbit spirit in the mountains who can't help but cannot restrain it when he sees Xiaobai. It's an instinctive fear.

Xu Li was obviously still hesitating, not knowing how to judge this matter.

Ying Zhou said: "Since the imperial physicians have nothing to do, why not let me try."

Xu Li raised her head to look at him, but before she could speak, Concubine Li Hui sarcastically said: "You monster has a good idea, let you get close to His Majesty, so that you can assassinate His Majesty again?"

Looking at her beautiful but distorted face that was somewhat sharp and mean, Ying Zhou sighed silently.

In an instant, a wave of silver light erupted from his body, sweeping away from him as the center, and the strong wind hit everyone's faces, like a sharp dagger cutting thinly, stabbing sharply.

Concubine Li Hui uttered a scream, fell backwards, and almost tripped over the complicated palace skirt. She covered half of her face and looked at Ying Zhou in horror: "You, you..."

Looking at the faces with different expressions on the high steps, Ying Zhou said slowly, "If I really want to kill someone, I don't need to bother."

Since he entered the mortal world, many things have happened.

Everything is like a well-designed trap, but it is still impossible to escape if you are walking on thin ice.Even his reaction at this moment may just meet the expectations of the people behind the scenes.

It made him unspeakably irritated.

Concubine Li Hui's sharp face in front of him, Xu Li's trembling suspicion, the countless gazes from around him, Xiao Bai's strong and suppressed resistance, and the ignorant calculations of the people behind the scenes all made him feel bored and tired.

Never in the past 2000 years had he found himself so impatient.

Or maybe it was during those times that he had exhausted all his patience. At this moment, the dark emotions surging in his chest, which he had never had before, gradually gathered into a strong impulse.

——wanted to destroy everything.
