"Alright, I just went to Li Yuan's residence. It's indeed just as I thought, Li Yuan is the mastermind behind this matter. But just like what you're thinking, I think that if Li Yuan has the guts to rebel, then there will definitely be people supporting him from behind. Aren't you prepared to say something to me?" And since Li Yuan dared to speak like that, there was definitely someone supporting him from behind. Otherwise, even if the Prime Minister of his country managed to stabilize the throne, if there was no one behind him to support him, he wouldn't be able to sit still. Thus, Zi Yuan immediately understood in his heart that there was probably no one else other than Murong Xiu.

"I knew that you would know something after receiving the news tonight. Sigh, actually, I had already guessed it, but Li Yuan is an elder after all. I wasn't willing to kill him for a while, so tell me first." Seeing the Violet Garden's words, Helian Lie naturally knew what she already knew. Since he already knew about these matters, there was probably no need to be clear about them anymore. Right now, the two of them had to properly discuss the countermeasures.

"Hmph, I knew you would already know. Why did you ask me to investigate then?" The Violet Garden was also in a good mood as she said. She had worked so hard outside to gather information, but you already knew about it. Then what else do I have to investigate?

"Haha, although I have some guesses in my heart, I still do not dare to be certain. However, your visit this time around will likely confirm my thoughts. Tomorrow is the time to make a move." Helian Yu also felt helpless. He didn't expect the Violet Garden to be so petty with him.

Hmph, forget it this time. I don't want to come here for nothing next time. This time, Li Yuan, along with a few other officials, might already be prepared to quarrel with you tomorrow. However, it is just as you said. Therefore, I'm afraid that tomorrow will not be so easy to say. " Zi Yuan also looked worriedly at Helian. When Helian heard this, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Then let's kill! There's no other way. Tomorrow, you will follow me to the imperial court. " Helian said with a gloomy expression.

"But, I'm just a woman that rushed into the imperial court. I'm afraid that something is amiss." Zi Yuan started to worry as well. It was impossible for a lady from the imperial court to enter the imperial court so easily.

"Hehe, no matter what, you still have this idea. Since you have the ability to do so, you can naturally do it. Rest assured, you will calmly go with me tomorrow." Helian said with a smile.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll go back and rest." With that, Zi Yuan prepared to leave.

"Ah, it's already so late. I won't be able to rest at ease even if you go back. Why don't we sleep here?" Seeing that Zi Yuan was about to leave, Helian said with an evil smile.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, it's best if you keep your filthy thoughts to yourself as soon as possible. I'm leaving." Even though Helian Lie saw that Zi Yuan had left, he had no choice. Haha, one day, I, Helian will make you willingly be my Queen. This is the thought that lingered in Helian Lie's heart for a long time.

At the same time, the Violet Garden had already been waiting outside Helian Residence since early morning. Since the conversation with Helian yesterday, the Violet Garden had not slept, and her only thought was to take revenge for her poisoning in the imperial court today. When Helian Lie stepped out of his room, he saw that the Violet Garden was already waiting outside, so he greeted her before heading to the imperial court with a solemn expression.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor." When the group of ministers saw Helian sit on the Dragon Throne, they all knelt on the ground. Zi Yuan stood indifferently by his side.

"My beloved officials, please rise." Helian Lie waved his hands coldly as he spoke.

"Thank you, your majesty." When Cheng Huaiye saw that his daughter was standing next to the emperor, he was filled with doubt, because the imperial court didn't allow women to participate in the imperial court's affairs. Now that the imperial court had sent a woman into the court, it made everyone suspicious, but when Cheng Huaiye saw that his daughter was standing next to the emperor, although he was puzzled, he didn't express it.

"Does the imperial court have any time to report today?" As for the ministers below, no one said anything. At this moment, however, this imperial court was different from before, as if they were all absent-minded. The upper part of this imperial court was actually filled with a solemn and strict aura, and Prime Minister Li Yuan, upon seeing that no one had come forward to speak, also took a step forward.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has something to report."

"Speak!" Helian Helian's gaze turned cold as he looked straight at Li Yuan. Li Yuan was also shaken by this gaze to the point that he felt slightly guilty, but he still mustered up his courage and said.

"Ever since the emperor sent his troops back, the three armies were put out of action. However, word has it that the emperor had suffered a crushing defeat in the war. I ask the emperor to answer this humble subject's questions."

"Hmph, you're talking nonsense. The generals and the hundred generals know about this as well. Where did you hear such frightening words from?" Helian said angrily.

"Please calm your anger, your majesty. This matter was widely spread among the people. However, right now, your majesty is sitting on the Dragon Throne. I'm afraid that something isn't right." At this moment, Li Yuan actually dared to say this to Helian Lie. He actually doubted Helian Lie's position on the Dragon Throne. This was a great disrespect to the Emperor. Cheng Huaiye had spoken first before Helian said anything.

"How dare you, the emperor, even dare to question it."

"Hmph, Sir Cheng, I didn't say anything. Why did you jump out of the imperial court in public?" Li Yuan angrily refuted.

"Li Yuan, let's not beat around the bush, the Emperor led my army to the northern border and battled against the western and distant army. Now that the Emperor has returned, of course he will be victorious on behalf of our army, and why are you trying to scare us by saying these words? I'm afraid you're the one who spread the word." Although Li Yuan usually disrespected Helian Lie, he always had a bottom line. At this moment, it seemed that Li Yuan was going to reveal his cards today, and he couldn't take the wrong seat. And ever since he saw his own daughter appear by the side of the emperor, the thought had always been in his heart and couldn't be stopped.

"Cheng Huaiye, how dare you speak to me like that! Do you even have any differences in strength? Your majesty, I plead for you to immediately kill this person." Li Yuan was extremely angry in his heart when he heard Cheng Huaiye yell this loudly in his life.

"Hmph, all of you shut up." Helian Lie also shouted loudly. At this moment, the anger in his heart burned even more vigorously. The two of them actually started arguing right in front of his face. Helian Lie also looked at Li Yuan with an ice-cold gaze.

"Li Yuan, if you have anything to say, speak directly. We don't have the effort to listen to your nonsense here." Helian Yu's anger had also erupted. He did not pay any attention to the government, but instead shouted out loud.

"Your majesty, this old subject has no other intentions. I just want Your Majesty to give this old subject an explanation. Why is it that when Your Majesty brought the troops back, Your Majesty didn't give any explanation to the officials? If you don't feel guilty, then why hasn't Your Majesty said anything?" At this moment, Li Yuan knew that since he had already said this, then it would be the best course of action according to the plan in his heart.

"You're simply a bastard. Li Yuan, you actually dare speak to the Emperor in such a manner with your status as an official. You deserve to die a thousand deaths!" When Zi Yuan heard Li Yuan's tone, he really couldn't hold back his earlier patience.

"You, a lowly girl, actually dared to appear in the imperial court. How dare you speak to me in such a manner? Do you even have any justice left in you?" When Li Yuan saw that Zi Yuan actually dared to speak to him in such a manner in the imperial court and that a girl couldn't appear in the imperial court, and even scolded him openly here, Li Yuan immediately became angry.

After Helian Helian heard Li Yuan actually say something like that about the Violet Garden, killing intent surged out from his heart. After that, he fiercely slammed his palm on the Dragon Throne, and a burst of killing intent that was surrounded by inner strength rushed towards Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, what's wrong?" You want to have a showdown with me now? "

"Your majesty, what are you saying?" When Li Yuan saw that Helian Lie had gotten angry and done something to him, Li Yuan felt a little guilty.

"Li Yuan, who were you discussing with last night about rebelling against me, and who was the one behind the poison? I presume you know all of this clearly in your heart, and I know even more clearly as well. Do you really think that I don't dare to touch you?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? As the current Prime Minister, why would I do such a thing?" Li Yuan also loudly shouted out his injustice. The ministers behind him also kneeled down, and Wang Huai also stood up to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has done a great service to our Northern Yue State. Furthermore, he is an elder of a dynasty. How can you say such things about him?" At this moment, Wang Huai had no choice but to step forward. Following that, the people behind him also stood forward.

"How dare you, you traitors, dare to bully the sovereign like this!" Cheng Huaiye also stood up, shouting loudly.

After that, he waved his hand towards Cheng Huaiye. Cheng Yeyu, step back. Soon after, Helian said between his teeth in a cold tone, "Men, put Li Yuan on the spot. What use is such a vile vassal coming here!"

"Hua!"

"Your majesty, don't do this! Lord Li Yuan was only speaking the truth. There's no need for Your Majesty to act like this."

"That's right, that's right. Your Majesty, think twice."

When the Violet Garden saw that no one stepped forward to take action, Li Yuan naturally knew that although he was in danger, he had already chased out the imperial guards earlier and it was likely that their lives were not in danger. At this moment, the Violet Garden had pulled out Helian Shang Fang's sword and stood out.

The Violet Garden knew that she couldn't tolerate this any longer and she couldn't give Li Yuan any chance to speak. Suddenly, she jumped down and released her inner force, sending all the ministers surrounding her flying. Li Yuan couldn't dodge in time and died. His eyes, however, revealed an expression of extreme unwillingness and a trace of faint regret …

"You lowly woman, you dare to openly assassinate the Prime Minister in the imperial court. Men, seize him!" When he saw that Prime Minister Li Yuan had actually died in the hands of Zi Yuan, he panicked. At this moment, with the death of Li Yuan, many things would likely be exposed, and he would likely not have a chance to live. Right now, he could only rely on the so-called law of kings.

"Hmph, Wang Huai, yesterday night you and Li Yuan were discussing about plotting against us against you. Do you think I don't know that not only will Li Yuan die today, you'll also die today!" After Zi Yuan finished speaking, he raised the sword in his left hand and stabbed Wang Huai's chest with lightning speed.

Such a swift and decisive move actually caused the entire imperial court to fall silent. After that, no one dared to say a word. When Helian Lie saw this scene, he started laughing in his heart. It was likely that no one in the palace dared to speak anymore.

I sent her to investigate the case of Li Yuan's rebellion, so today's matter is for everyone to see. If anyone dares to rebel like this in the future and commit the above crimes, then the result will be the same as Li Yuan and Wang Huai! After Helian said these words coldly, he turned around and left the imperial court. As for Zi Yuan, he followed behind him with a cold expression.
