Chapter 2321

Li Yao took a close look at the black burnt corpse again. He still couldn't tell whether it was poisoning, or he was sucked the blood essence and spirit by some extremely domineering skill. He could not help frowning and saying: "why is it poisoning, or was it planted a long time ago?"

Dongfang Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "it's well known that your majesty is being held by me. I want to" hold the emperor to order the princes. "But if I say that your majesty really trusts me and is worried that someone will murder him, so he and I played a good play together to hide people's eyes and ears. In fact, he is hiding from me to seek protection. Do you believe it?"

"Wow, that's the truth. Of course I believe it!"

Li Yaodao said, "it turns out that the Prime Minister of the East is really selfless, devoted to the country, loyal to his majesty, pure as a white lotus!"

Dongfang Wang coughed and said, "well, maybe it's exaggerating to say that, but the relationship between your majesty and me is not totally antagonistic. We have to cooperate a lot of times. He wants to use my strength to suppress the other three families and the unstable factors in the court, including Li Linghai!"

Li Yao said, "is your majesty dissatisfied with her royal highness?"

"Not discontent, but fear!"

Dongfang Wang said, "Your Majesty has a deep fear of Li Linghai. He said that in recent decades, especially since the outbreak of the imperial counterattack, Li Linghai has changed more and more greatly. Most of the time, he has completely become another person, a person who makes him feel creepy and even can't stand steadily.

"Don't be afraid of jokes. Your majesty says that he and Li Linghai haven't shared the same bed for 20 or 30 years. Even when they see Li Linghai, they can't physically awaken a man's ability, but in other concubines, they are still fierce, and the ten women of the night imperial family are nothing to say.

"In addition, your majesty said that Li Linghai often wanders in the palace in the dead of night. He is furtive and doesn't know what to do. He wants to find out, but Li Linghai will disappear once in a while."

"Wait a minute."

Li Yao raised his hand and said, "disappeared without a trace. What does that mean?"

"No one knows how Li Linghai managed to do that. The palace is the key monitoring object of the four election general family. There are many surveillance eyes and our Eyeliner everywhere. It is reasonable to say that no one can ghosts in the palace."

Dongfang Wang said, "however, it is said that the real Imperial Palace was built on the ruins of the Xinghai Empire ten thousand years ago. Although things have changed and changed, there are still countless secrets buried in the bottom of the earth.

"When Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, was in charge of building the Imperial Palace, he used it as the last resistance base of the human empire. Therefore, there are a lot of labyrinths, arsenals, and entrances to the debris world. They are connected by secret passages and transmission arrays. There are also various powerful defense arrays and complicated mechanisms. Even Yuanying and even the powerful ones can be trapped.

"It is said that a thousand years ago, the black star emperor launched hundreds of thousands of practitioners to build the underground palace. Most of these practitioners were prisoners of war when the Republic of Xinghai collapsed. The black star emperor promised that as long as they built the underground palace, they would be converted into immortal practitioners and start a new life in the real empire.

"Unexpectedly, after the" underground palace "was really built, the black star emperor killed hundreds of thousands of practitioners in the" underground palace "and refined their evil spirits into a powerful defense array. Since then, hundreds of thousands of evil spirits have been wandering in the depths of the palace, and the secret of the" underground palace "is known only to his majesty, Until... Several generations of emperors died, and no one knew the secret of the underground palace.

"Naturally, our four families also want to explore the secret of the underground palace. However, our four families hold each other in check and balance, and no one wants other families to get the secret first. Moreover, it is too difficult to explore the whole underground palace. If we are careless, it may even lead to drastic changes in the earth's crust of the whole Celestial Star, ecological imbalance, and the environment is so bad that it is not suitable for human survival, The consequence is so serious, and there is no great benefit, so the matter has been shelved.

"According to his majesty Shenwu, Li Linghai seems to have mastered some method of freely shuttling through the underground palace. It's very suspicious. Naturally, I made a secret investigation. Only then did I find out the clues of the existence of the" innovators "and know the tip of the iceberg of Li Linghai's ambition.

"But at that time, I still didn't expect that Li Linghai's plot would be so big, and the means were so dense and vicious. I thought that she was just the kind of woman who came out one after another in the past five hundred years to disturb the court.

"So, I just deployed conventional means to keep her" dying of illness "and maintain the dignity of the Empire. In fact, I arrested her secretly and slowly concocted and tortured her to find out the secret of the" underground palace. ".

"As for your majesty, since you have come to seek my protection, I am naturally not respectful.

"I have no malice to your majesty, but he was dazzled by the successive victories of the Empire's counterattack, and his whole body swelled, giving birth to ambition that he could not bear. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, I naturally have the obligation to beat him hard, so that he can calm down, recognize the reality, and not be used by those with ulterior motives.

"Unexpectedly, the secret arrest against Li Linghai was not smooth. What he caught was only a substitute, and the real Li Linghai had already run away.

"In desperation, we can only poison the stand in, and want to announce that her Royal Highness has died. In this way, we can minimize the threat of Li Linghai. Who would have thought that we underestimated her.

"Since your majesty accepted my protection, he has always been in good condition. However, in the" cannibal cultivation incident "and" blood alliance incident "broke out one after another. When I was most unprepared and worried, all the liquid around me evaporated in just half an hour without any sign, and I didn't even leave a trace of ghost.

"At that time, there were several doctors and monk Ming accompanying his majesty. They rescued him at the first time. They injected hundreds of medical medicaments into his majesty, but it didn't help. His Majesty's body was like a miniature black hole, which sucked him up alive!

"Sooner or later, just when I was in the most difficult time, your majesty died so strangely that he made it clear that someone was going to frame me, drive me out, and put me in the black pot! Indeed, when your majesty dies in my hands, I can't say it clearly, let alone tell anyone. I have to wait to die!

"This, such a interlocking plot, such a vicious potion, is not the work of Li Linghai. Who else will be there?"

"But"

Li Yao said, "why does her royal highness want to do this? Why does she want to kill her husband?"

"Perhaps her majesty knew too many of her secrets, and even considered abolishing the queen, so she was the first to do it; Or maybe she just wants to have a mess in the imperial family and even the whole empire! "

Dongfang Wang said, "as you said just now, as long as the Dongfang family cedes a lot of interests, and then welcomes back to the emperor Shenwu, the imperial family and the reformers in the fourth general election can still maintain a grudging balance. Maybe this scene is not what Li Linghai wants to see, she just wants to make the Empire in chaos?

"His majesty Shenwu has been in office for 60 years. Among all the emperors in the past dynasties, he is the one who has been in office for a long time. He can be the emperor safely for 60 years. Naturally, because the four families are satisfied with the current interest pattern, there is no need to push it back easily.

"Because of this, in addition, in the last 20 years, the Empire's focus has been on war, and it has not even established a prince.

"Originally, all four of us wanted to consider the establishment of the crown prince when we split up the interests of post-war reconstruction after the end of the war, and consider the crown prince as a trade term.

"The current situation is so critical, and your Majesty's death has put the four families of emperors and Marquises and the reformers on the cusp of the storm.

"For the reformers, your slogan is" respect the emperor and fight against adversity, and Shenwu innovate. "Now even the Shenwu Emperor himself has been murdered by the" rebels ". You can never let go of the culprits, or even the nine ethnic groups, so that you can maintain your righteousness, right?

"For the Dongfang family, originally many collateral branches could come out to clean up the mess. As long as my branch was sacrificed, it would be possible to keep the family alive. But when such a bad thing happened, everything became unknown. Maybe the remaining forces of the Dongfang family would have to jump out of the wall and fight to the death!

"For the other three families, they all have their own opinions on the choice of the crown prince, and they should support their own spokesmen for their own interests.

"Today, the empire is facing a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years. The interests of all fields are being reshuffled, whether in the front or in the rear. Whose puppet can be the emperor will naturally occupy a great advantage, and even replace the Dongfang family and become the new" first family "!

"Therefore, the candidates for the new emperor will be in a fierce fight!

"Li Linghai is so insidious that she must have a back hand. As long as she does a little tricks, is she afraid that the families of the emperors and Marquises in the three general elections will not fight and become a mess?"

Although there was some incoherence, dongfangwang's computational power was restored to the level that the Prime Minister of the Empire should have. He took the whole matter apart and analyzed it one by one.

It's also that Li Yao is sweating and his heart is cold.

"I still can't figure it out."

Li Yao murmured, "the empire is in chaos. What's good for her royal highness?"

"I don't know what good it is for Li Linghai that the empire is in chaos."

Dongfang gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "I only know that if the empire is calm and you can safely pass the transition period of power, then Li Linghai will always be just a little queen. The more time goes by, the less likely she is to set off any storm, and eventually she will just vanish in silence among the stars and dust!

"She has done so many things with all her heart, and she will never be reconciled to annihilation like this, never!"
