Villain: At The Beginning, He Cut Out The Heroine's Pupil With A Knife

Seeing the empress in such a posture, Eunuch Li lowered his head quickly. He felt his whole body trembling, and even the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly.

"Eunuch Li..."

Eunuch Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sweating coldly, and lowered his head.

"The old slave is here."

"You have been very close to Lord Wei recently..."

Instantly, Eunuch Li knelt in front of the empress and kowtowed continuously.

"The old slave deserves death! The old slave deserves death! The old slave has no second thoughts about Your Majesty, it is Lord Wei who insisted on looking for the old slave..."

Just when Eunuch Li was terrified, a cold voice came from outside the stone door.

"Report to the empress..."

Interrupted by this voice, the Yaochi empress said lightly.

"Eunuch Li, you go down first."

Eunuch Li hurriedly left as if he had been pardoned.

The soft white hand was slightly raised, and a surge of power opened the stone door of the secret room.

Two purple-robed men entered the secret room. One is tall and the other is short. The taller man has dark and strange lines on half of his face, which makes him look extremely fierce.

The shorter man looks ordinary.

The identities of these two people are not simple. The taller man is called Gu Li, the master of the Jingzhe Mirror of the Demon Suppression Department.

The other is called Lin Yiping, the master of the Qingming Mirror of the Demon Suppression Department.

"Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite. Is there any movement from the Shen family?"

Gu Li knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Yuan seems to have discovered something. According to our spy's report, he is now acting very cautiously in the Shen family. Even the members of the Shen family clan cannot approach him rashly without special circumstances."

"And his next plan seems to have not been revealed to other people in the Shen family."

Did you really notice it?

Recalling the previous meeting with Chen Yuan, I accidentally said that he gouged out Shen Xiaoer's pupils. Although Chen Yuan did not show anything at the time, he really guessed in his heart that the Shen family had a spy planted by me!

Maybe I want to strike Chen Yuan too hard. Normally, I would never make such a mistake.

Seeing that His Majesty looked a little sad, Lin Yiping hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The spy reported that he is still very safe. Although Chen Yuan is suspicious, it is difficult for him to find the spy. With so many people in the Shen family, how long will it take him to find out? What's more, our spy has been specially trained and will not leave any clues."

Hearing this, the empress's face looked a little better.

Indeed, even if Chen Yuan knew that the Shen family had a spy, he couldn't find it out for a while. The spy can still lurk for a while, but he has to be more careful.

"As long as Chen Yuan doesn't find the spy, I still have a chance..."

"Your Majesty, we have something else to report."

"Go ahead."

"The spy we planted next to Lord Wei reported that Lord Wei spent a lot of money to buy a piece of intelligence from Eunuch Li. This intelligence seems to say that Your Majesty intends to deal with Chen Yuan."

"And today, Lord Wei went to Baiyun Sect. He talked with the leader, elders and other senior officials of Baiyun Sect in the secret room for a long time, but our secret agents have not been able to find out what they talked about."

The empress laughed instead of getting angry.

"What a great Wei Qi. I appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Gate Guards and made him a knife hanging over the court. He actually abused his power for personal gain and colluded with the martial arts sects to have other plans!"

The empress felt that her head was about to explode. Chen Yuan and Wei Qi, each of them had ulterior motives for her. Is there no loyal official in my Northern Qi?

And that Eunuch Li, it seems that he is really tired of living. He dared to disclose the news about me to other officials in private.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is your investigation of the marriage between the Shen family and the Pei family?"

"Your Majesty, we have also investigated this matter clearly. Pei Jianghai was completely unaware of this matter. It was his son Pei Duan who insisted on marrying Shen Xiaoer, but Shen Xiaoer had been expelled from the Shen family by Chen Yuan, and was also deprived of the clan name. Pei Jianghai was also furious after learning about it, but Pei Duan was desperate and insisted on marrying that woman, so Pei Jianghai had no choice but to agree."

"But Pei Jianghai also gave conditions. Shen Xiaoer could only marry as a concubine of the Pei family, and because she was expelled from the Shen family, she was equivalent to being alone. Pei Jianghai did not intend to show goodwill to the Shen family, and did not prepare any betrothal gifts."

"Even the wedding invitations sent by the Pei family to the Shen family were rejected by Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan clearly stated that Shen Xiaoer had no connection with the Shen family anymore, and his pupils were gouged out and blood was cut off. Therefore, he was no longer considered a member of Shen Xiaoer's clan, and there was no need to send him wedding invitations."

The empress nodded slightly.

"So it seems that Pei Jianghai has no intention of joining forces with Chen Yuan, is it simply because of his stupid son... or is this just a cover-up by the Pei and Chen families..."

"Your Majesty, it should not be a cover-up. Chen Xiaoer's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Shen family have been downgraded by Chen Yuan. Now she is no different from a slave, and she was gouged out of her eyes, and Chen Yuan didn't even arrange a maid for her. Therefore, this matter even alarmed Shen Yi, who was far away in Qingzhou. He rushed to the Chen family clan in Yunzhou overnight just to ask Chen Yuan for an explanation."

"Moreover, Chen Yuan intends to remove the Shen family elders' hall, abolish the elders' positions, and make the Shen family completely a one-man show for him, Chen Yuan."

The empress heard the news and her brows relaxed a little.

"So, the Chen family is now facing internal and external troubles?"

"That's right. Moreover, although the Chen family is powerful, there are not many truly powerful people in the Chen family. In addition to Chen Yuan, there are only six or seven people who can be called famous. Your Majesty can attack quickly after breaking the saint, and you can still completely disintegrate the Chen family."

"How many people can Chen Yuan use?"

"Chen Yuan has a group of confidants, which are all people carefully selected by Chen Yuan and trusted by him. The leader is a woman named Youruo."

"Youruo? I have heard of it. She is Chen Yuan's personal maid, right? She is inseparable from Chen Yuan. But what I didn't expect is that a person like Chen Yuan actually has people he can trust."

" Chen Yuan has been cautious and scheming since he was young. He never trusts anyone easily. He will do anything to achieve his goal. Even his cousin Shen Xiaoer, who grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart, was gouged out by him without mercy... Such a person is too cruel and too vicious. "

But the empress had to admit that only such a person would get rid of the shackles of low-level emotions and be able to truly achieve a thousand-year hegemony.

Throughout history, who has reached the top of the world did not fight his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

Being trapped by love is actually indecisive. Being confused by love is tantamount to ruining one's future. Being confused by love is simply stupid!

Those who achieve great things must have "three hearts".

That is, the determination to persist in whatever you do, the vigilance against all unstable factors, and the ruthlessness to others and even yourself!

Obviously, Chen Yuan is such a person.

What the Yao Chi empress did not expect was that with Chen Yuan's character, there was actually someone who could win his trust. The world is really big and there are all kinds of things.
