Heartless Phoenix Queen - C149

At this moment, within the Imperial Palace’s study, Helian Lie and Zi Yuan were discussing what to do next. At this moment, the two of them had also said this.

“Logically speaking, the shadow should be coming back soon.”

“Mm, at this point, Shadow should be coming over.” Helian said as he continued speaking.

“I guess the shadow has succeeded.”

“Oh? “Get what?” Zi Yuan said in confusion.

“Haha, I should have obtained that soldier token.” Helian laughed.

“Hmm? Isn’t the military seal in the hands of the Sixth Prince? ” Violet Garden was truly confused. At this moment, the Sixth Prince probably wouldn’t hand over the military emblem so easily. Otherwise, would the Sixth Prince still be alive right now?

“I’m afraid that the military emblem is not with my sixth brother. Based on my attitude towards him, although he is cautious, he is a little too righteous. I believe that the military emblem is in the hands of a certain official and that person is definitely his trusted aide.” Helian said this in a resolute and decisive tone. Hearing it, the Violet Garden also came to her senses. Sometimes, the most dangerous places were actually the safest places.

“So you’re saying that we can fight now?”

“No, we have to wait for the shadow to return before we can be sure. If we don’t succeed, then it would be like striking the grass to alert the snake.” Helian knocked on the table. It was obvious that he had completely calmed down.

“Yes, we will wait for another fifteen minutes.” Yes, we will wait for another fifteen minutes. As Zi Yuan’s words fell, the shadow dragged Liu Kui and walked in. When Liu Kui saw that this person had actually brought him to the Emperor’s study, his face instantly turned deathly pale. He was thinking of how to curry favor with the Emperor.

“Hmm? “What’s going on?” Helian and Zi Yuan couldn’t help but blurt out when they saw this.

“Mistress, this person is with the Sixth Prince, and he also has part in the conspiracy.” Mistress, this person is with the Sixth Prince, and he has part in the conspiracy. The Purple Garden had said before that if one wanted to kill them, one had to completely kill them. Helian did not want to slaughter the Minister in such a manner, and only said that they wanted to kill a big one, which was what the Purple Garden said to the shadow. However, the shadow mistakenly believed that the Purple Garden meant for him to not let go of the big one, and that he had to settle the rest as well.

“Hmm? Liu Kui? You are indeed a loyal subject. ” After reacting, Helian Helian spoke coldly as he looked at Liu Kui. After Liu Kui heard this, he immediately knelt onto the ground and kowtowed continuously.

“Your majesty, your majesty, please spare this official’s life. This official was instigated by the Sixth Prince to become so foolish.”

“Your Majesty, leave this person to me.” Before Helian Helian could speak, the Violet Garden spoke first, and Helian Lie only nodded slightly. Perhaps this interrogation was more suitable for the Violet Garden to do, but he couldn’t allow Liu Kui to say anything. If so, then the empress dowager was a good example, and if even the empress dowager was settled, then Liu Kui would be even more at ease.

“Liu Kui, right?”

“Yes, Empress, this little one is here.”

“Hehe, you don’t have to be so nervous. Many ministers from the inner court have died today. There won’t be much more of you, not even one less. However, we can’t kill them all right?” When Liu Kui heard this, he immediately said with a sobbing tone.

“I beg the Empress to spare my life, this servant will definitely tell the Empress everything.”

“That’s for the best. Let me ask you, who has the Soldier Talisman right now.”

“Empress, it’s here.” Before Liu Kui could say anything, the shadow had already taken out the soldier token. Helian, who was about to turn around and leave, turned his head to look at the soldier token.

“Good, Shadow, you did very well.” Zi Yuan also took it and threw it to Helian. When he saw this, Helian nodded his head and praised Shadow.

“It’s all because the Empress has a good education.”

“Mhmm, stand to the side first. Liu Kui, let me ask you. Do you know anyone other than you that has been in contact with you before?”

“Esteemed wangfei, there is no one else who is related to me. There are some who have always remained neutral and do not dare to rebel, so they do not dare to contact us. There is also that Wang Qing, but that Wang Qing …” When Liu Kui said this, he also looked at the shadow and Zi Yuan understood what was going on. The soldier token was probably in Wang Qing’s hands and the shadow had brought him over. Naturally, Wang Qing was already dead.

“Empress, this servant truly does not dare to do anything rash. I beg Empress to give me a chance.”

“There will always be opportunities. Do you know who the Sixth Prince or empress dowager is colluding with?”

“To reply esteemed Empress Dowager, this one only knows that the people from Dongping Kingdom are related to the empress dowager, but I don’t know the specifics. This matter was handled by a person called Ghastly Wolf, and the empress dowager believes in him a lot, but he suddenly disappeared. We’re all looking for him, so we don’t dare act rashly.” When Liu Kui said this, he noticed that the Violet Garden’s expression had changed. Unexpectedly, the Violet Garden coldly said, “I’m asking you this, but you don’t know either. As for that, you don’t know either. What else do you know?” Liu Kui’s expression clearly changed after the Violet Garden said this. He was just about to kowtow again when a shadow stepped forward and respectfully said to the Violet Garden.

“Esteemed Empress, this person’s position is a head lower than Wang Qing. Thus, there are some things that Wang Qing knows a bit more than he does, but this subordinate has interrogated Wang Qing before. It’s clear that Wang Qing doesn’t know who supported the empress dowager in this matter.”

“Hmm? Did that Wang Qing tell you anything else? ” Zi Yuan also frowned as he asked.

“Niangniang, Wang Qing also said that there are some rebels on this list and that the soldier token is in his hands. He is just like Liu Kui, and does not know about the rest of the matters.” After saying that, the silhouette also respectfully took a step back. At this moment, Helian and Zi Yuan did not say anything else as they frowned. What were they thinking about?

If word got out that the person he was working with was one of the ministers that was still unstable, even some neutral individuals would impeach him. Therefore, the Sixth Prince had done a very good job of keeping this matter a secret, but now that Zi Yuan and Helian had found out that the empress dowager was in contact with the East Pingguo Kingdom, his anger rose. Even if you rebelled and colluded with the enemy, it would be a heinous crime!

“Alright, I understand. Shadow, bring him down.” The shadow also felt the killing intent in its eyes in an instant. It nodded its head towards the Purple Garden before bringing Liu Kui out. Meanwhile, the Purple Garden and Helian Lie looked at each other at the same time with a trace of a bitter smile in their eyes.

“I think we should go to the Sixth Prince’s house and ask him about it. Right now, this military seal is already in our hands, so we don’t need to worry too much about it.”

“Ah, let me tell you. Although this token is in our hands, before Lan Cang comes back, it would be fifty to fifty if we were to fight with my sixth brother.”

“Hmm? “Why? Why do you say that?”

I have an elite force in my possession, as you know, and my sixth brother is also well-prepared. I may not even know about some of the soldiers and horses, but none of this is important. We need to find that bastard and find out who he is in contact with. When Helian said this, the anger in Helian Lie surged forth. When the Violet Garden heard this, her eyebrows knitted together before she asked.

“Has there been any news from Lan Cang?”

“No, since we already know that the Eastpan Kingdom is behind this, then Lan Cang must have been blocked.” Helian Lie said with a cold expression. Now that he knew what was happening in the East Peak Country, there was no longer any backup for him. He would have to wait for Blue Canghai to settle the matter there before he could have any guarantees.

“It’s about time to go to the Sixth Prince’s place. There’s no point in asking him anymore.” At this point, Zi Yuan turned cold. He had already planned to deal with this bastard since a long time ago. At this moment, he was already in possession of the soldier token, so he naturally did not need to think too much about it.

“No, we still need to wait. If we suddenly make any noise right now, we might alert the enemy.” Helian said this and paused for a moment. The gaze with which he looked at Zi Yuan also carried seriousness as he continued.

“There might be some clues about the Empress Dowager. We need to get them there.”

“But right now, the empress dowager has been completely guarded against by us. How can we let her take the initiative to reveal herself?”

“So what if I let her go?” Helian Yu also smiled mysteriously. Upon hearing this, the Violet Garden immediately understood. Helian Lie was probably planning to use this as a plan.

“Alright, I will make the arrangements. I’m afraid I will be able to receive the news tonight.”

“Mm. If you go now, the empress dowager might not be able to sleep well every night.”

The shadow had already dealt with Liu Kui and waited at the entrance. When he saw that the Violet Garden had come out, he walked over and saw that the Violet Garden had also come over. He then whispered something into the shadow’s ear, and the shadow nodded his head before quickly rushing towards the empress dowager’s chambers.
