This kind of "glazed beauty" was widely spread in the martial arts world, causing great harm. The rich and powerful officials often bought the brothels to raise their playboys.

Once used, the infected people would often end up in miserable states. It was difficult for them to live a normal life, and they were unable to return to society and return to their families. They could only grovel before being kicked out of the house. Most of them became beggars begging on the streets because they lacked the strength or the ability to earn a living.

Hong Ying stood up as he spoke, "Sooner or later, I will destroy his Valley of the Fly Ape!"

Mu Sheng and Li Chenbai smiled at each other, but did not say anything.

For over a hundred years, throughout the whole history of the Gu, many famous and righteous sects had gathered all their elite warriors in an attempt to eradicate this scourge, but they were all defeated by the poison in the Yuan Ling Valley. He was just a small gang... He could only say that his courage was commendable.

The guard looked at him with little worshipful eyes. "Hero! "Are you going to drown them with the water of the coop?"

Hong Ying:... Boy, good idea...

Li Chenbai looked at his senior brother bickering with his guard, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

The heavens still favored him.

With Hong Ying, this senior brother, he was able to avoid the fate of those blind eunuchs and eunuchs.

He looked at Fifth Brother out of the corner of his eyes, feeling guilty and helpless. That poison, even the people from the Valley of the Ape Ape didn't have the antidote for it. Furthermore, he was too busy taking care of himself and was even trembling like he was treading on thin ice. How could he possibly help others?

A great sadness welled up in Li Chenbai's heart. He had never been close to his brothers since he was young, but even if he was, even if he was just a stranger, he probably wouldn't be able to watch him walk into such a desperate situation without a single ripple in his heart!

In the past, he was obsessed with martial arts and wholeheartedly wanted to become stronger. He wanted to become a supreme expert and control his own destiny. But now, he knew that even if one's martial arts were peerless, if others wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as lifting one's finger! From now on, he would have to learn medicine and cultivate his own strength in order to truly protect himself and help the people he wanted to help.

Li Chengming looked at the fruits of his work with satisfaction.

Of the two younger brothers, one of them had fair and lustrous skin that was faintly pink like a peach blossom while the other had slightly blue eyes. Under the candlelight, he could not help but squint his eyes.

So what if he was young and strong?! One was blind and the other was crippled!

He felt pleased with himself, but he still put on an act of kindness.

Just as the two brothers were getting back on their feet, there was a loud noise from the audience below.

Li Chenbai was stunned as he rushed over, pulling Grand Concubine Xie over to protect her. Looking to the left and right, the third prince's consort had met with an accident.

Grand Concubine Wang had already flipped the table in front of her. Her body bounced back and forth like a fish out of water, shaking for a dozen times. She let out a long breath, completely motionless.

Everything happened so quickly that Third Prince Li Chenfeng had no time to react and could only stare blankly at his mufei who was lying on the ground.

There was a strange smile on Grand Concubine Wang's face. Her left hand clutched at her chest as the fingers of her right hand formed a claw, reaching out in his direction, perfectly straight!

Flying, flute!

Li Chenbai couldn't bear to look anymore and shifted to block Grand Concubine Xie's view.

Li Chenbai turned his head and met Feng Yingtong's resentful gaze. It was as if he was complaining about why he ignored her first.

In the large hall, people were huddled together in groups of twos and threes, making guesses and whispers. They couldn't wait to disappear right away, but didn't dare to move an inch.

Li Chengming almost couldn't hold back his laughter: Look, I'm going to waste another one!

With a straight face, he pointed towards the third prince and shouted harshly, "Men, seize this beast that killed his mother and betrayed the enemy!"

Lee Chen's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he slowly shifted his gaze away from the dead mother, inch by inch, to Li Chengming's face that could not hide his mocking and smugness. He suddenly roared out from the depths of his chest, "I'm going to kill you!" He pounced towards Li Chengming!

Just as he took a step forward, a powerful crossbow whistled through the air and shot into his chest like lightning. Even before the force had subsided, he had already sent the arrow flying straight into the ground.

The Third Prince had yet to land on the ground. The surrounding imperial guards, attendants, and palace maids … The sword had already cut into his body. Within moments, a whole person had been chopped into minced meat!

The silence of a pin drop could be heard throughout the hall. Only the faint sound of dripping water could be heard …

First, there was the poisoning of his own mother, and later, there was the public massacre of his father. With these sufficient reasons, Li Chengming didn't hold any mercy for the Third Prince. Third Prince's Consort and Third Prince's two wise and astute sons, who had once been praised by the late emperor as having the wind of their ancestors, were hanged on the spot. In the third prince's consort's house, the Minister of Rites, Cao Nuo, hanged her entire family, bringing all nine families down with her.

It was a good reunion feast of the birthday banquet. In the end, the color of blood filled the air, and the chilly wind blew miserably.

The blood of Third Prince Li Chenzhou's family of four lingered on the floor, slowly flowing through the verdant veranda. Droplets of it splashed onto the rippling River Qu Lake, merging into the beautiful picture scroll of "Meeting the Sky Lotus, Infinite Jade Leaf, Reflecting Sun Flower".

Would the lotus blossomed tomorrow morning, stained with human blood, be more beautiful, more beautiful, more charming?

The Fourth Prince Li Chenmu opened his robe in a daze and looked at the puddle of water under his feet. He turned his head to the Fourth Prince's consort and revealed an embarrassed smile as he softly said, "I, I wet my pants!"

Li Chengming gave her a look, at the moment, Pang Yi, who was in the Imperial Hospital, was holding a medicine kit and was giving Chen Chen Chen treatment. Pang Yi quickly cut his pulse and rolled his eyes, then said to the fourth prince's consort: "Your highness was frightened, and due to the lack of blood, you need, you need to be pierced with needles." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and knelt on the ground, not daring to even look at the fourth prince's consort.

She looked at the Third Prince's family on the ground who hadn't had the time to clean up the corpses. She looked at the Emperor who had a cold expression on his face on the high jade steps. She then looked at the surrounding golden splendor, which finally landed on her husband's face.

Couple being husband and wife, Li Chen had an undetectable look of fear and distress in his eyes. Obviously, he was trying to act crazy, but how could Li Chengming let him go?

She reached over, hugged his head and gently caressed it. With a trembling voice, she said in a broken tone, "Be good. Don't be afraid. I'll stay with you. "Don't be afraid."

— At the moment, he could only save his life …

Pang Yi's hand paused for a moment before he injected the needle. In the end, he clenched his teeth and held the needle and pierced it into the Baihui acupoint on Chen Chen Chen's head. Li Chen let out a long moan. The light in his eyes gradually faded. This time, it was true.

Very good, another fool!

The fourth prince's consort hugged Chen Chen, who seemed to have no reaction at all, as she cried her heart out and died. With an ear-piercing cry, Li Chenbai clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes.

It was already deep into the night. The Great Clarity Palace was silent in the endless night.

Satisfied, Li Chengming rode the imperial carriage eastward to the Crown Prince Palace. He went to see his son every day before he went to bed, a habit that didn't change no matter how late it got, no matter how rainy it got.

There was a stain of wine on the hem of his shirt. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized. He had been staring at the wine stains the whole time. In the darkness of this night, there was a pool of dark blood in the bright and dark light — the blood in his hand!

But he did not care!

Inside the Eastern Palace, the eleven-year-old crown prince, Li Ze Hua, was already sleeping soundly.

The child's face was flushed from sleep, and her petal-like mouth was slightly open. No one knew what she was dreaming about, but her small eyebrows were tightly knitted.

Maybe it was because he was too warm from sleep, but Li Ze Hua's forehead was covered in sweat, and his black soft hair was stuck to his face.

Li Chengming smiled gently and took a cloth from the table to wipe the sweat off his son's clothes.

He then quietly moved his small body to the side, took out another soft cloth and placed it on his back, to prevent the sweat from coming out of his body.

Afraid that he would wake his son up, Li Chengming patted his son on the side to comfort him. He smiled gently, enjoying the warmth and tranquility.
