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

"Stop!"

Chixue Ji hurriedly stopped the demon master.

"You can't attack him, he saved me."

Hearing this, the demon master stopped attacking and looked at Yin Wuji with a meaningful look.

Yin Wuji was too lazy to stay here any longer, and fled away in a flash.

Since these demon masters have arrived, there is definitely no way to catch Chixue Ji, so it is better to leave first, so as not to delay.

After telling her that she was temporarily fine through the message Jue, she asked Shi Zhuo to return to Yinxu Valley first, and the next disciples were also settled by Shi Zhuo.

She herself had to return to the Shen family to recuperate.

Originally, her injuries had not healed, and today she had such a great consumption.

When she thought of today's failure, Youruo couldn't help but grit her teeth.

This failure was entirely caused by her own inconsideration. When the master came out of retreat and saw that Yinxu Valley was tossed into this state by her, I don't know how disappointed she would be with herself.

Although she has been with her master for more than ten years, she is still not as good as him in making plans and considering problems.

I don’t know what kind of punishment she will face for this failure.

There is Shi Zhuo in Yinxu Valley, so there is no need to worry for the time being. As for the many matters of the Shen family, I am afraid that I can’t handle too much with my current injuries. Fortunately, there are still Shen Jian and Shen Dao. If I leave it to them, there will be no big problems.

Thinking of this, Youruo took off her clothes and soaked in the medicine pool to recuperate her injuries.

Seven days later, inside the imperial city.

A vast holy aura filled the world, and even the surrounding air seemed to be stained with a trace of Taoism.

The stone gate opened, and the empress came out of retreat and went straight into the sky.

The surging spiritual pressure instantly swept the entire imperial city.

"I finally succeeded!"

With the help of the broken saint pill, the Yaochi empress finally became a saint and possessed the supreme saintly cultivation.

No one in the world will be her opponent.

"Now, it's time to settle accounts."

Before breaking the sainthood, coupled with the consideration of the prime minister, he was always restricted by Chen Yuan.

But now it's different. Before the cultivation of the supreme saint, any conspiracy will be useless.

Now, he can prepare in advance to overthrow the prime minister.

"Welcome your majesty out of retreat!"

At this time, sensing the aura of the supreme saint, the royal guards hurried over to greet the empress.

"Has anything happened in the imperial city in the past few days?"

The guards reported everything that happened in recent days. The empress frowned slightly. There was no particularly valuable information among these things for the time being.

"However, a big thing happened in the martial arts world."

The guards reported the deadly battle between Yinxu Valley and Baiyun Sect to the empress without missing a word.

After listening, the empress's eyes flickered slightly.

"Interesting, very interesting. The fight between the two martial arts sects actually involved Pei Jianghai and Wei Qi. It's really interesting!" The guards were silent. They all heard the rage in the empress's tone. "Retreat."

After the empress dismissed the guards, she took out another communication jade.

"Is there any movement from the Shen family?"

Soon, a line of text appeared on the communication jade.

Chen Yuan is missing, and the family affairs are currently in the charge of Shen Jian.

The empress frowned slightly, Chen Yuan is missing? Where did he sneak away? Is he in seclusion? That shouldn't be the case. With his cultivation of half-step supreme, he can't take the broken saint pill.

But if he is really in seclusion? Isn't this a good time to disturb his seclusion?

You know, in the path of cultivation, seclusion and breakthrough are extremely important. If you are disturbed, it will not only lead to failure of promotion, but also cause spiritual power disorder, go astray, and even endanger your life.

Seclusion must not be disturbed, so once you are in seclusion, either set up restrictions in advance or need someone to protect you.

In any case, it is necessary for me to go to the Shen family to find out the truth.

If Chen Yuan is really in seclusion, I will find a way to interrupt him...

The next day, the news of the empress's coming out of seclusion spread throughout the court, and the empress also issued an order to resume the morning court from the next day, and all civil and military officials must not be absent.

As a result, on the third day of the morning court, all officials were present, except for one person.

Chen Yuan.

"Why did the prime minister fail to attend the morning court? Does anyone know?"

"This..."

For a moment, all the officials looked at each other, some were worried, some were indifferent, and some were gloating.

"Your Majesty!" Supervisor Wen said, "The prime minister is ill, so he is absent. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

Wen Yuanji, one of the core members of the Shen party, now that Chen Yuan is not attending the morning court, he must help Chen Yuan find a reason to hide it.

"Oh? I didn't expect that I would fall ill after only a few days of seclusion. I'm afraid that you are sick because of the state affairs of Northern Qi! It really makes me feel distressed."

"But I still need to discuss the state affairs of Northern Qi with the Prime Minister. Now Northern Qi is being watched covetously by other countries, and the severe drought in Yanzhou has not been resolved. I am worried!"

"Since the Prime Minister is ill, it's fine. I will ask people to prepare elixirs and bring imperial doctors. After the court meeting is over, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express my condolences and treat the Prime Minister to thank the Prime Minister for his concern for the country!"

"This..."

Wen Yuanji broke out in a cold sweat. If Chen Yuan didn't come to the court meeting, how could he know that he was willing? Saying that Chen Yuan was ill was just a random excuse.

But who would have thought that His Majesty would actually go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit in person.

If the Prime Minister was not ill, not only would His Majesty ask the Prime Minister to give an explanation, but he would also be charged with deceiving the emperor!

But he did not dare to disobey the Empress's order at this time.

Seeing this, Wei Qi couldn't help but raise his mouth. The Empress was now clearly looking for Chen Yuan to settle accounts, and Wen Yuanji dared to jump out. Isn't this courting?

"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's leave the court. Wei Aiqing, you stay first."

When only the Empress and Wei Qi were left in the hall, the Empress said leisurely.

"Tell me, what's going on? The matter of Baiyun Sect and Yinxu Valley."

Wei Qi was surprised. He didn't expect that the Empress knew about this matter just after coming out of retreat. It seems that the Empress is quite capable.

I'm afraid that the Dragon Gate Guards, like the Chen family, also have spies planted by the Empress...

In this case...

Wei Qi didn't dare to hide anything, so he had to tell the Empress everything about the Baiyun Sect and Yinxu Valley, and even vaguely mentioned the relationship between the Baiyun Sect and himself.

If there really is someone of the Majesty among the Dragon Gate Guards, then it is obviously not a wise move to hide it now. Telling the truth may even get the Empress's forgiveness.

Although the guards had reported it before, they certainly didn't know as much about the incident as Wei Qi, a participant.

From Wei Qi's mouth, the Empress learned many details of the incident.
