Xiyue slowly walked in.
Today, she was dressed in a misty purple dress with a hundred pleats. Compared to before, she looked even more noble.
The Eldest Princess?
The officials looked at each other, not expecting His Highness to appear as a witness.
"Your Highness?"
Lu Kai was even more stunned.
Xiyue did not even look at him. She walked straight to the center of the hall and bowed to Emperor Taining.
"Xiyue?"
"What evidence do you have?" Emperor Taining's tone softened a little.”
Xiyue handed over a sandalwood box and passed it over through the eunuch.
She said unhurriedly," Imperial Father, what's in this box is a talisman sword. It's a high-grade talisman sword that can withstand a strike from a third-grade expert."
Your son found it in the Pill Refinery Building.
To make this talisman sword, one needed to be at least an expert of the Third Stage or above.
Third Grade and above.
In the entire Imperial Preceptor Residence, perhaps only the Imperial Preceptor could do it.
I wonder if this counts as evidence."
The entire place was deathly silent.
Previously, Zhong Zhen had listed a pile of evidence, but none of it was as powerful as the talisman paper Xiyue had brought.
Many of the officials who were unwilling to believe it were also stunned.
Could it be that the Imperial Advisor's Residence really used living people to refine pills?
Zhong Zhen was pleasantly surprised.
He did not expect that the Eldest Princess would find other evidence at the scene of the alchemy room.
"Your Highness, you…"
Lu Kai panicked.
No matter how he calculated, he never expected that the talisman sword he used to attack Li Xiushan would fall into the Eldest Princess 'hands.
"Your Highness."
"Are you sure you want to participate in this case?" he asked.”
Xiyue's expression was calm, and her voice was powerful.""Someone is using our people to refine pills. As a princess and two scholars, this prince naturally has to interfere.”
“……”
Lu Kai clenched his fists.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Taining spoke again,""Lu Kai, do you have anything to explain about the talisman sword?”
"This…"
" Your Majesty, I don't know where this talisman sword came from. Perhaps…perhaps Zhong Zhen forged it!" Lu Kai's tone was clearly flustered.”
"Ridiculous!"
"As long as your father can create the talisman sword!" Zhong Zhen scolded.
Your Majesty, the evidence is sufficient now. Please make a decision!”
Emperor Taining looked at the talisman sword in his hand and pondered.
A moment later, he sighed and said angrily,""Lu Kai, I am very surprised and disappointed in you.
Where is the state preceptor?"
"My father is still in seclusion.”
Emperor Taining said in a deep voice," Pass on my decree. The Imperial Preceptor's Residence is temporarily sealed. Everyone is grounded and not allowed to leave the capital."
After Imperial Preceptor comes out of seclusion, I want to ask him personally.
Zhong Ai Qing, I'll leave this matter to you. Xiyue, you assist Zhong Ai Qing.
During this period, the Demon Suppression Division could freely enter and exit the Grand Tutor's Residence to search. The Grand Tutor's Residence was not allowed to resist!
If anyone disobeys the order, he will be killed without mercy!
No matter who it is, even if it's the state preceptor, as long as they endanger the lives of our people, they will be dealt with according to the law!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers kowtowed.
"Retreat!"
Emperor Taining waved his sleeves and left.
The ministers gradually dispersed.
Zhong Zhen didn't waste any time. He immediately rushed back to the Demon Suppression Division and prepared to investigate the Imperial Advisor's residence.
Only Lu Kai and Xiyue were left in the hall.
"Your Highness."
Lu Kai walked forward, his expression uncertain.""Why did you help Zhong Zhen deal with me?”
"Lu Kai, how dare you."
Xi Yue's tone was cold." You actually dared to do such a thing? How dare you say that I'm targeting you?"”
" Your Highness," Lu Kai said with a complicated look in his eyes," for your safety, I hope you won't continue investigating this case."”
"Oh?"
"Are you threatening me?"”
"I wouldn't dare!"
"I'm just reminding Your Highness to consider the matter." Lu Kai cupped his hands.”
"No need."
" If I remember correctly," Xiyue said coldly," Father has already issued a decree to ground everyone in the Grand Tutor's Residence.
Little heavenly master, do you plan to return to the heavenly master residence by yourself, or do you want me to send the imperial guards to take you back?”
Lu Kai didn't say anything and left resentfully.
……
Demon Suppression Division.
Zhong Zhen returned from morning court with a piece of shocking news.
The Demon Suppression Division had gathered 3,000 Demon Slayers to seal the Grand Tutor's Residence!
It was vast and unstoppable!
"This day has finally arrived…"
Zhong Zhen was filled with emotions.
So many years!
Ever since he found out that the Imperial Advisor's Residence was sanctimonious, he had been trying to trip them up. After working so hard for so long, he finally got the chance.
"Let's go!"
"Godfather, wait a moment!"
In the sky, Zhang Rui stepped on the air and arrived.
"What's the matter?" asked Zhong Zhen.
"Good news!" Zhang Rui hurriedly said. Fifty miles outside the city, I brought some people to find an underground secret room!
There was a third alchemy room there!
Moreover, the Imperial Advisor's personal Daoist child was there.
I suspect that the Imperial Advisor is not in the Imperial Advisor's residence, but is hiding there in seclusion to refine pills!
If they could catch him, he would be unable to defend himself!”
"Good!"
Zhong Zhen was overjoyed.
"You guys are no match for him. I'll go myself!
Two-thirds of our men, follow me out of the city.
The remaining one-third will be sent to seal up the Grand Tutor's residence and let the Eldest Princess command it.”
Seizing the Imperial Advisor's residence was not the key. The most important thing was to take down the Imperial Advisor who was the culprit.
"Yes, sir!"
After the distribution was done, the Demon Vanquishing Troop left in full force.
At the same time, Li Xiushan was eating a roasted chicken in the kitchen of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
"Holy Monk."
Tan Zhaodi and Fa Kong came over together."Something big happened!
My foster father is now out of the city to capture the state preceptor. The rest of you, go and seal up the state preceptor's residence.
This time, their death has arrived."
"I know, I know."
Li Xiushan sucked on his bones and mumbled,""Your father's death has arrived."
"What?"
Tan Zhaodi felt a chill down her spine." Holy Monk, you…you're not talking about my foster father, are you?"
How is that possible?"
Although she did not believe it, she did not dare to underestimate Li Xiushan's words.
Even if this sentence sounded like crazy.
"Holy Monk, don't scare me."
"What should we do now?" asked Tan Zhaodi.”
"Don't worry."
Li Xiushan ate the whole roast chicken cleanly, but he kept the complete skeleton.
He reached out his hand and pointed. A ball of pure white flame burned in the middle of the skeleton. It was like a candle that kept swaying.
"Take it."
"This chicken can save your father's life," said Li Xiushan.”
"Ah?"
Tan Zhaodi held the chicken rack and was a little stunned.
"Senior Brother Daoji, where are you going now?”
Fa Kong asked.
Li Xiushan said as he walked out while drinking,""I have something to do.
There was a kid who deserved to die a second time.”
