The ministers and many people in the throne room were still uneasy.
Naturally, the 26 people who had been killed were not the only ones who had committed corruption. There were many others present.
If they really investigated, their outcome would be very ugly.
The ministers left the throne room one by one, and many of them turned to look at the golden hall.
They felt that this palace was no longer a place to guide the country, but a prehistoric beast that could devour their lives at any time.
The Left and Right Prime Ministers walked side by side, their faces devoid of joy.
Although the Li Consortium's faction had been eliminated today, they were not happy at all.
This was because the Apocalypse was about to welcome a tyrant who killed people like flies!
............
Shangguan Lin returned to the royal study in a good mood.
" System, receive the mission reward."
"Ding! Detected that the host has completed the task of eliminating powerful officials. The reward is being distributed.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining assassin Xuan Jian (peak martial grandmaster), 1000 net sword slaves, and five years of pure internal strength.”
"The identities of Xuan Jian and 1000 Net Sword Slaves have been implanted. They are now assassins all over the martial world.”
"Among them, there are 50 first-class Kill, 200 first-class Earth, and the rest are first-class Absolute.”
As the system's electronic voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared in the royal study.
"Subordinate Xuan Jian greets Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!”
"Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xuan Jian's appearance looked somewhat weathered, but his entire body was filled with killing intent and the killing intent on his body was faintly discernible.
He carried two sharp swords on his back, one white and one black.
These two swords were the legendary Black White Profound Clippers.
Countless experts had fallen under the black and white swords.
Shangguan Lin did not know where to place Xuan Jian for a moment.
Shangguan Lin already had the Six Sword Slaves by his side. After killing Imperial Noble Consort Li, he would still be able to obtain Sword Saint Ge Nia. The experts protecting him were already sufficient, and he did not need Xuan Jian anymore.
In the end, Shangguan Lin arranged for Zhang Han to send Xuan Jian out of the palace.
He was an assassin, and the martial world was his world.
Shangguan Lin ordered him to take charge of the overall situation of the network in the martial world, to gather information for him, and to monitor the martial arts sects in the martial world.
Nominally, he was the leader of the Network.
After Xuan Jian left, Shangguan Lin started to refine the five years of pure internal strength that the system had given him.
Shangguan Lin's cultivation had improved after he had obtained five years 'worth of internal energy. He was now very close to Zongshi realm pinnacle.
After an hour, Shangguan Lin finished refining his internal energy.
Vigorous internal strength flowed through his meridians, and his heart moved freely.
All of a sudden, the Genuine Qi on Shangguan Lin's body rippled, creating a gentle breeze.
Shangguan Lin had broken through from Zongshi realm advanced stage to Zongshi realm pinnacle stage.
With the help of the system, Shangguan Lin had no bottlenecks in his martial arts cultivation.
"Men."
Shangguan Lin called out softly.
Eunuch Wang Wen walked in.
"Call Cao Zhengchun over."
"Yes."
Looking at Wang Wen's back, Shangguan Lin's eyes flashed with a cold light. A killing intent erupted from his body, but it disappeared in an instant.
This killing intent was naturally not directed at Wang Wen, but at Imperial Consort Li.
Now that her father, the Prime Minister Li Wenbo, had fallen, Shangguan Lin naturally would not let her off.
This woman had made the harem a mess. Not killing her would not be enough to appease Shangguan Lin's anger.
Cao Zhengchun came very quickly. The time for an incense stick to burn was up. Moreover, he came in alone.
"Servant Cao Zhengchun greets Your Majesty, my Emperor!"
"No need."
Shangguan Lin waved his hand and interrupted Cao Zhengchun's bow.
"Cao Zhengchun, do you know why I called you here?”
"This servant doesn't know, but as long as it's something the emperor wants to do, this servant will do his best to complete it.”
"Very good."
Shangguan Lin smiled coldly and said softly,""Imperial Consort Li of the Inner Palace has recently fallen ill and is bedridden. Zhen is very worried.”
"I heard that your virgin technique is very effective in treating chronic diseases, so I want to send you to treat Imperial Consort Li to get rid of her chronic diseases.”
"Also, I have a bottle of spirit medicine prescribed by the divine doctor. Send it to Imperial Consort Li as well.”
Cao Zhengchun was stunned when he heard this. His mind was a little dazed, and then he was shocked. A chill surged from his back and rushed to the top of his head.
He already understood what the Emperor meant.
It was all false to say that Imperial Consort Li was sick.
The foreigners of the East Chamber had been monitoring the Jingan Palace day and night and knew that Imperial Consort Li was not sick at all and was living well.
Moreover, his Little Boy Technique had no effect on curing diseases.
The Emperor's intention was obvious. He wanted him to kill Imperial Consort Li.
Imperial Concubine Li was the former Emperor's favorite concubine and Shangguan Lin's adoptive mother.
If this matter were to spread out, Shangguan Lin would be cursed by the world, saying that he was heartless, disloyal, and unfilial.
Cao Zhengchun looked into Shangguan Lin's eyes and saw that there was only coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes. There was no other emotion.
"This servant will obey."
Cao Zhengchun kowtowed.
There was no other choice in this matter. Since the Emperor had told him, he had to do it. There was no room for negotiation.
"Take it."
Shangguan Lin threw the bottle of medicine into Cao Zhengchun's hands, and Cao Zhengchun left the royal study respectfully.
Cao Zhengchun's mind was in a mess when he left the royal study.
The cold wind made him shiver.
