The person in front of him was actually one of the four noble clans of the Demon Lord, the merman Lan Yu, who should be in the northern city at this moment.
"Why? Do you need to be so surprised to see me? The little rat of the Bai family." Lan Yu instantly arrived in front of Bai Yun Dan. He picked up the folding fan and lifted his chin as he teased.
White Cloud Devourer's back was already drenched in cold sweat. It silently observed its surroundings for possible escape routes. In any case, the Demon Lord had already been poisoned by the "Death Dream." As long as he escaped now, he could still sneak into the palace a few days later and kill the slumbering Demon Lord, who had lost all his strength.
Lan Yu knew what he was up to when he saw Bai Yuntian's expression. He sneered in his heart and the smile on his face disappeared. He took out the bottle of " Dream of Death " and placed it in front of him. He said with a dangerous gaze,"Do you really think your plan will succeed?”
Bai Yun Dan looked at Death Dream in disbelief. He couldn't believe that their meticulous plan had failed. Lord Ming had failed to feed Death Dream to the Demon Lord.
"Then, let's talk about the mastermind behind you.”
After saying that, something unexpected happened. The White Cloud Devour actually exploded and died instantly.
Lan Yu quickly retreated and looked at the bloody scene in front of him solemnly. This person who had repeatedly attempted to assassinate the Demon Lord was truly ruthless. Bai Yun Dan's expression of disbelief before his death showed that even he himself had not expected to be ambushed by his own companion.
Then, it seemed that this matter still needed to be discussed in detail.
Moreover, it was unknown who had spread the news of the Demon Lord's slumber throughout the entire Demon Realm, causing the number of demons taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble to increase day by day. Now, they could only hope that the Demon Lord would return as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew what the Demon Realm would become.
Under the moonlight, the Imperial Residence of King Jing was silent.
Hanba sat on the bed with his right leg curled up in his white undergarment. He looked at Ming Cheya who was asleep without moving. Looking at her sleeping posture that was still like a baby, the corner of Hanba's mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
Although it was an extremely simple smile, it made him look very happy.
They had only known each other for a few days. Hanba himself could not figure out why he cared so much about Ming Cheya. Similarly, he could not understand why he fell in love with her so quickly.
However, his heart wanted to be close to her and be with her.
Now, his soul was slowly fusing, but it would take some time for the complete fusion to be completed. Perhaps by then, he would be able to solve these questions in his heart.
As he thought about it, Hanba lay down slowly and hugged Ming Cheya in his arms. He closed his eyes slowly.
At this moment, in another brothel in Jade Mian, three men in their forties or fifties were sitting in a room and watching a few scantily dressed women dance with infatuation.
The floor of the room was covered with the clothes that the women had thrown away when they were dancing. They were almost naked, leaving only their clothes. One of the men could not help but pounce forward and grab one of the women. He tore off her remaining clothes on the spot and started to move without caring about anything.
This made the eyes of the two people beside him turn red. Instantly, the room became a scene of debauchery.
After a while, the room fell silent. The three of them sat on the ground and hugged a woman who was only wearing a single layer of clothing.
"I heard that the woman King Jing brought back killed someone in the Dream of the Red Chamber.”Youxiang Xiangyin stroked his beard and said with a smile because he had grasped the handle of the Sunken Abyss.
"Absolutely." Chen Xiangli replied.
"Then, what about the news that the Dark Men spread in the Jade Crown a few days ago?”Cheng Yin nodded in satisfaction and turned to ask the Grand Scholar Shi Jian.
"It's already foolproof. Now, we just need to add fuel to the fire and make them brothers turn against each other. The world will be ours.”Shi Jian said ambitiously.
"Well done." Cheng Yin nodded approvingly.
Then, he stood up and hugged the woman beside him. He looked at the woman beside Shi Jian and smiled meaningfully and said,"Enjoy tonight.”
As he spoke, he pulled the woman to the room next door.
The days passed slowly. Jade Mian, which had just calmed down because of the victory of the war, had been in turmoil for the past few days. It made the commoners feel uneasy.
On this day, similar conversations could be vaguely heard on the streets of the market, in teahouses, restaurants, and other places.
"Have you heard? That day King Jing brought back that woman,'Beggar for Qiao', who killed someone in the' Dream of the Red Chamber'.”
"Really?"
"It's true. At that time, the people from Star Plucking Yard wanted to capture him but were chased away by King Jing.”
"This is completely covering up for the murderer.”Someone was furious." King Jing has been completely bewitched by that demoness.”
"And not just that." The other person looked around and said in a low voice mysteriously," I heard that the witch was hired by King Jing to seize the Emperor's throne."”
"Hiss." The people around them could not help but cry out in fear.
However, someone immediately retorted,"How could that be? King Jing and the Emperor were brothers, and he had helped the Emperor win many battles in recent years.”
"In the past, there was no movement because King Jing did not have military power. Now, the Emperor has handed all military power to King Jing. Moreover, King Jing had brought back a powerful demoness this time. It seems that the emperor this time…"The person did not continue, but he received the same effect.
Because everyone's expressions became anxious and uneasy.
One day, after the morning court session, Chen Ke was reading memorials in the Hall of Diligent Government when she was suddenly informed that Grand Tutor Shen Qi and Left Prime Minister Bai Ming, who had been recuperating behind closed doors at home, had come together. Chen Ke immediately let Jiang Xinxuan and the others in.
"Long live my emperor." Shen Qi and Bai Ming knelt down and saluted.
Chen Ke immediately walked down and helped Shen Qi up.""Teacher, you mustn't. Left Minister, please get up. There's no need to bow.”
Then, he turned around and instructed Jiang Xin to bring a stool for the two of them to sit on.
"Teacher, why have you come to see me today?”Chen Ke returned to the dragon throne and asked Shen Qi curiously.
"May I ask if the Tiger Tally that commands the generals is with King Jing?”Shen Qi asked directly.
Hearing this, Chen Ke was a little surprised. She didn't know why Shen Qi asked this, but she still nodded.
Shen Qi didn't expect this to be the case. He looked at Chen Ke and accused,""Emperor, you are really muddle-headed."
"Teacher, why do you say that?”Hearing Shen Qi's accusation, Chen Ke suppressed her discomfort and asked.
"Recently, there has been a rumor in the jade crown that King Jing is holding a tiger talisman and wants to rebel with the demoness he brought back.”Left Prime Minister Bai Ming explained.
"Nonsense." Hearing Bai Ming's words, Chen Ke shouted angrily.
"Emperor, please calm down." Jiang Xin quickly comforted him.
"Teacher, do you also believe this?”Chen Ke suppressed her anger and turned to look at Shen Qi.
"I don't believe you." Shen Qi replied earnestly," But most of the soldiers in the army are King Jing's trusted aides. Although King Jing had no intention of rebelling now, it was hard to guarantee that he would be the same in the future with the Tiger Tally. If he could not resist the temptation of power and the egging of his subordinates, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, he had brought back a woman from an unknown place this time. This was even more unsafe.”
The corner of Chen Ke's mouth curled up and she sneered,""Although teacher doesn't trust Xiao Si, who is also your disciple, this one will always trust him.”
"Your Majesty." Shen Qi and Bai Ming stood up at the same time, wanting to persuade him again.
"I'm tired. You may leave." After that, Chen Ke looked down at the memorial in her hand and ignored the two of them.
Seeing this, Shen Qi sighed and left the Hall of Diligent Government with the Left Minister without looking back.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Xin looked at Chenke's cold face and looked at the sky. In the end, he mustered up his courage and reminded her," It's almost noon.”
Chen Ke looked up and realized that it was already the time. She quickly got up and prepared to walk to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. One had to know that today was the day Xiao Si brought that girl to pay her respects to Imperial Mother.
Even though he was shocked when he heard the news a few days ago. But in order to make Xiao Si agree, mother must have used many methods.
As soon as Chen Ke entered the Palace of Earthly Tranquility with Jiang Xin, she felt strangely that the Palace of Earthly Tranquility was very deserted today. It was not as lively as usual.
On the other side, Ming Cheya, who had been dragged into the palace by Chen Yuan, was staring at Empress Dowager Li Hui. Her body was so stiff that she did not know what to do.
Chen Yuan looked at this scene in amusement. After a while, he stepped forward and held Ming Cheya's hand as he introduced her to Li Hui with a smile,""Mother, this is Ming Cheya. Xiao Die, this is my mother."
"Yes." Ming Cheya nodded as usual to greet him, but this cold reaction made Li Hui a little unhappy. She thought, Why is this woman so cold? How is she worthy of my son?!
Seeing this, Chen Yuan could only helplessly pull Ming Cheya to sit down. Then, she saw her brother, Chenke, walk in.
"Mother." Chen Ke, who was initially angry, instantly calmed down after seeing Chen Yuan and Li Hui. She returned to her usual mood and greeted Li Hui with a smile.
"Come and sit." Li Hui happily pulled Chen Ke to sit beside her.
When Chen Ke saw Li Hui, she knew that she was in a fit of anger. She turned to look at Chen Ke in confusion, signaling him to give her an answer. He didn't expect Chen Ke to look so helpless.
However, when he saw the woman beside Chen Ke, he thought that she was indeed the person his brother had taken a fancy to. However, why did he feel that she was cold? In an instant, Chenke found the reason why her mother was unhappy.
Ming Cheya was also sitting on the same spot, feeling helpless. She did not understand why Chen Yuan's mother was unhappy. It was rare for her to look at Chen Yuan for help.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan helplessly patted Ming Cheya's head to give her courage. Unexpectedly, Li Hui, who was sitting at the head of the table, saw Chen Yuan and the woman being intimate as if no one was around. She felt even more uncomfortable and snorted coldly.
