The human cat held the head in its hand.
He approached Cixi step by step.
He didn't hide the cold killing intent on his body at all, and there were three thousand red threads with terrifying aura floating behind him.
With every step he took, the aura of a deva on his body increased!
This shocked Cixi.
Especially when…
The head in the cat's hand was the head of the chief eunuch who protected Cixi!
Cixi was even more terrified.
This person had committed a crime in the Imperial Palace and was actually so unscrupulous.
Whose people were they?
Cixi's brain was spinning rapidly, but she could not think of a reason.
Although the concubines in the harem had their own backgrounds, they would never dare to do such a thing.
It was even more impossible for the seven vassal kings!
They couldn't wait to see internal strife in the royal family.
could it be
Cixi's pupils shrank.
A figure appeared in his mind.
It was Xia Ji, who had just ascended the throne a month ago!
But how was this possible?
Xia Ji didn't have any powerful background, so how could he have such a Celestial Being expert?
As her thoughts raced, Cixi calmed herself down.
She looked at the human cat and said,"What others can give you, this widow can give you double or even ten times!"”
"Today, you sneaked into the Imperial City and killed this widow's subordinates with lightning speed.”
"Are you willing to be by this widow's side? Aijia can give you the entire Great Xia!”
It could only be said that she was indeed Cixi.
Not only did he stabilize his emotions in a short period of time, but he also came up with a reason that ordinary people could not refuse to win over the human cats.
However…
She had thought too simply.
If humans and cats could be won over so easily, they would not be called humans and cats.
He threw the head to Cixi's side.
He did not say a word.
Three thousand red threads floated.
The Phoenix Pagoda was already scarlet red.
...........
Outside the palace.
Zhao Gao and Cao Zhengchun carried lanterns.
"I still need to contact the Minister of Revenue, Pei Ju.”Zhao Gao's deep voice sounded.
He continued,"I heard that he is very obsessed with martial arts and is very eager for the secret manuals in the Imperial City's arsenal.”
In the past eight hundred years, Great Xia had collected countless martial arts manuals and placed them all in the arsenal of the Imperial City.
It was all-encompassing, and many of them were original copies that had been lost!
"Although the arsenal can only be opened by the blood of every emperor, I can also make a promise to him in advance and let me come into contact with it.”Cao Zhengchun nodded.
If he roped in Pei Ju, the six ministers would have control over three of them.
With their methods, they could control the entire court in a very short time.
At this point, the two of them laughed loudly.
However, at this moment, Zhao Gao frowned.
He looked in the direction of Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom.”
"The smell of blood?" Cao Zhengchun was stunned.
Zhao Gao cultivated a special cultivation technique, causing his perception to be several times sharper than ordinary martial grandmasters.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Immediately, he flew towards Cixi's bedroom.
Very quickly.
The two of them arrived in front of Yangxin Palace.
Silence.
It was strangely quiet!
Other than silence, there was no sound at all.
This caused the two of them to be greatly shocked.
They couldn't be bothered to offend him and pushed the palace door open.
Instantly.
The thick smell of blood continued to spread, making one feel nauseous.
The ground was covered in minced meat soaked in sticky blood, and the entire room was covered in a layer of red.
Even though the number of people who had died in the hands of the two was countless, they were still shocked by the cruel scene.
It also made their scalps go numb, and their faces turned pale.
"This..." Zhao Gao's pupils shrank, and his face was filled with horror.
His gaze landed on the phoenix couch, only to see the heads of Ci Xi and the eunuch lying on it.
Especially Cixi's head. Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.
What the hell, what the hell!
Zhao Gao and Cao Zhengchun both took a step back and fell to the ground.
None of them had expected that someone would be so bold.
Sneak into the palace and assassinate Cixi!
His methods were still so cruel.
But the most important thing was…
Their backer had fallen!
The two of them were able to have their current status because of Cixi.
Now that Cixi was dead, the power in her hands would definitely cause turmoil in the entire Imperial City!
This was not something the two of them could control.
After a long time.
Only then did the two of them come back to their senses.
"Now that the Empress Dowager has been assassinated, we need to find someone to rely on as soon as possible," Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice.”
They were people without roots. If they wanted to be rich, they had to rely on others.
In the past, Cixi was their greatest backer.
But now, Cixi was dead, and everything had changed.
"Why do you have to rely on me?" Zhao Gao asked. It's not like we eunuchs can't control the court!”
"As long as we can take over the power in the Empress Dowager's hands as soon as possible, we can turn all of this into our foundation!”
"How can someone below one compare to someone above tens of thousands of people?”
After saying this.
Cao Zhengchun was shocked. He never thought that Zhao Gao would have such thoughts.
He actually wanted to use his identity as a eunuch to influence the imperial court!
But without a doubt, what Zhao Gao said made him very tempted.
"Since Lord Zhao already has a plan, then we will split up and spread the news of the Empress Dowager's death, causing the entire Imperial City to fall into chaos!”
Cao Zhengchun's eyes were filled with malice. A ball of desire that represented power was burning in his eyes.
"Good!" "We have the final say in Great Xia in the future!" Zhao Gao nodded.”
...........
The news of Cixi's assassination quickly spread throughout the Imperial City.
Those who received this news were all shocked to the extreme.
They did not expect that someone would dare to do such a bold thing at this time.
However, this matter involved too many people, and most of the officials still planned to wait and see.
However, the six ministers could not escape.
The Minister of Justice, Li Si, immediately led his guards to the palace.
After they surrounded Yangxin Palace Hall, they began to investigate.
He was in charge of the country's laws, prisons, and other matters.
The assassination of the Empress Dowager was naturally within his scope of responsibility.
However, the more he investigated, the more Li Si realized that this matter was unusual.
The person who had attacked was at least a deva!
Li Si was not the only one who made a move.
The others also made their own moves.
For example, he could contact the vassal king behind him.
Or perhaps, he wanted to make a profit from this.
Some even took the initiative to look for Zhao Gao and Cao Zhengchun.
Needless to say, this person was naturally the Minister of Personnel Affairs, who held great power.
Heshen!
For a time, the entire Imperial City was in turmoil.
However, no one expected this.
Empress Dowager Cixi's death was just the beginning.
Only the Minister of Rites, Bao Zheng, stood under the eaves.
He looked in the direction of the palace with a solemn expression and muttered to himself.
"The wind is coming."
