READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 70 Backhand
The sky is dim.
Several palace ladies hurriedly entered Tianhuang Palace.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court."
After finally being woken up by the palace maid, Qianrou rubbed her sleepy eyes.
After taking Shen Yuan's calming pill, she is still confused now.
"It's so troublesome..."
Helpless, Qianrou still changed her clothes and entered the court.
The gilded phoenix robe was added to his body, but this five-year-old child still couldn't express his imperial power.
"Retire if there is nothing to do."
Qianrou yawned. She just wanted to end the court meeting early and go back to catch up on her sleep.
"I have a book to play!"
Liu Qian came out of the queue and held up the wat board and said.
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters has been dispatching troops and generals in recent days, and they are quite interested in going south!"
"Ah?! Then... what should we do?!"
Qianrou's beautiful eyes were worried. Northern Qi and the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom were in a turmoil, and now that Northern Qi's treasury was empty, there really was no extra money to spend on war.
Of course, Qianrou doesn't know that much. She is so at a loss now simply because she is afraid of the demon clan.
The true forms of the demon clan are all very ferocious. How could she, a little girl, not be afraid of them?
Shen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom made some small moves, it was not enough to start a war.
In fact, the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is now in a similar situation to that of Northern Qi. The great war that year consumed almost all of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom's national power.
However, it is still necessary to guard against it.
"Prime Minister, what do you have in mind?" Qianrou asked Shen Yuan almost subconsciously.
"We can increase our troops to the north first. If the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom really dares to invade, we can prepare ourselves in advance."
Rarely, Shen Yuan did not reject Liu Gan's proposal for the first time.
Liu Qian continued: "The Prime Minister is very wise, and I have the same intention. The Prime Minister and I really have the same views."
Shen Yuan glanced at him lightly, not knowing what he was talking about.
"However, I still have one thing that I don't know about. Perhaps the princes in the court are also deeply confused about this matter, but they may be afraid of the Prime Minister, so they dare not say anything more."
"But today, I would like to ask the Prime Minister to clarify my doubts!"
Shen Yuan spoke indifferently.
"I don't know, Mr. Liu, what's going on?"
"The case of the late Emperor of Yaochi's funeral! There is something fishy about this matter. The Prime Minister said that it was Wei Qi who rebelled, which led to the death of the late Emperor. But all civil and military officials know that the late Emperor of Yaochi successfully retreated to break the saints, and even became a saint again! He has three imperial weapons to protect him! How can he be defeated by Wei Qi?"
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what virtues and abilities does Wei Qi have? He is able to defeat the Holy Saint? Don't you, Your Majesty the Prime Minister, intend to give me an explanation for this?"
At this time, among the officials, the remnants of the Wei Party began to make moves again.
"Yeah, this is too strange."
"It's impossible for Wei Qi to defeat the Empress. There must be some secret in this."
Even Qianrou looked at Shen Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"Prime Minister, I think Lord Liu is right. How can Wei Qi beat my sister?"
Shen Yuan remained unmoved: "How do you know the truth? It's not that I am plotting rebellion. You should ask Wei Qi about this kind of thing."
"But Wei Qi is dead!"
"Speaking of which, you were the one who strongly encouraged His Majesty to get rid of Wei Qi as soon as possible, right?"
Pei Jianghai watched this scene and suppressed the laughter in his heart.
Shen Yuan, I want to see what you do in this situation.
When Shen Yuan was targeted, Gu Li and Lin Yiping also took action.
They sneaked into Shen's house, and with their half-step supreme cultivation, they couldn't stop them at all.
When Shen Jian appeared, the two of them took half a step of the Supreme Spiritual Breath and quickly suppressed him and took him away.
Even if the Shen family disciples resist desperately, how can they be the opponents of Half-Step Supreme?
In less than half an hour, Shen Jian was sent to the Jingzhe Mirror Prison by two people.
Sharp steel nails were nailed directly to the torture frame.
Gu Li swung the long whip in his hand and whipped Shen Jian until his skin and flesh were torn apart, dripping with blood.
"Tell me! What happened before you took Empress Qianrou away that day? What was the order Shen Yuan gave you?!"
"Is the death of Empress Yaochi related to Shen Yuan?!"
"Say it or not?! Say it or not!!"
Dark red blood flowed from the corner of Shen Jian's mouth, dripping like falling beads on the cold floor tiles.
Lin Yiping entered the cell at this time.
"Still unwilling to let go?"
Gu Li was extremely angry.
"From the moment I was caught until now, I haven't said a word!"
Lin Yiping picked up the red-hot steel pestle from the charcoal fire and pointed it at Shen Jian.
"Do you want to taste this? Even the demon clan can't bear the pain of this thing. Now, as long as you tell Shen Yuan's plan, you can avoid this physical pain."
"otherwise……"
The smoking flaming red steel pestle even made a clicking sound as it came a little closer to Chen Jian.
Seeing the steel pestle, Shen Jian's lips raised slightly.
He is laughing.
"Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey..."
Lin Yiping was furious: "What are you laughing at? Do you really think I don't dare?"
"Zi!"
Immediately, there was the sound of flesh being roasted!
"You brought it on yourself!"
But Shen Jian did not scream, but laughed even louder.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
When the temperature faded, Shen Jian was already dying, but he still let out that weak laugh.
This laughter makes people crazy, but at this moment, it is a bit creepy.
A contemptuous look, a contemptuous smile.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
This was a smile that Gu Li and Lin Yiping could never understand.
The look in Shen Jian's eyes at this moment seemed to be saying that the methods of the Demon Suppression Division were nothing more than that.
Seeing this, Gu Li became angry and planned to kill him directly.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yiping quickly advised.
"He's like this. No matter how much you ask, you won't be able to find out anything. If that's the case, why do you keep him?"
"He can handle it today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? I don't believe he has such amazing willpower!"
Hearing this, Gu Li calmed down a little.
At the same time, above the court, officials from all walks of life, led by Liu Qian, were still aggressive towards Shen Yuan.
Among them, some officials behind Shen Yuan are also ready to make moves.
Is it impossible for the Prime Minister to resolve this crisis? This is a serious crime of treason. Isn't it better to draw a clear line earlier?
However, naturally there are also Shen Party members who are biased towards Shen Yuan and are trying hard to argue for Shen Yuan.
For a time, there was constant bickering and quarreling.
"Tuk!"
Shen Yuan hit the ground hard with the extremely cold meteorite iron staff.
"How is it appropriate to make noise and noise in the court hall?!"
After all the civil and military officials fell silent, Shen Yuan turned to Qianrou.
"Wei Chen was unwilling to tell the truth about this matter, but Mr. Liu pressed forward so hard that Wei Chen had no choice but to tell the truth to the public."
With that said, Shen Yuan took out a shadow stone from his arms.
The image of the image stone appears, it is the soul of the Empress of Yaochi!
"The soul of the late emperor?!"
In the meantime, the Yaochi Empress on the screen slowly spoke.
"Wei Qi conspired to rebel. He attacked me unprepared and injured me. He also threatened Princess Qianrou's life so that I could not fight back and could only refuse to be defeated!"
"Fortunately, the Prime Minister arrived to kill this official and rescue Qianrou. Qianrou, if you see this image stone, you must remember that among all the princes in the court, only the Prime Minister is the most loyal to me."
"Only the Prime Minister is the most trustworthy."
Qianrou's eyes were filled with tears at this time.
"Sister! This is my sister's soul..."
Shen Yuan's expression was cold, and his mouth curved slightly in a penetrating way.
Fortunately, before devouring the soul of the empress, he also controlled her soul and put on such a show.
These are Ji Yaochi's last words, can they always shut your mouths?
