When Li Han Yi took off his mask, the Empress Dowager was stunned.
The woman in front of him was simply a fairy who had descended to the mortal world with a stunning appearance.
His eyes were like water, but they were cold as ice, as if he could see through everything.
Her fingers were slender, her skin was smooth, and there was a hint of pink in her snow-white skin, as if she could squeeze water out of it.
Her lips were red and her smile was sweet. Her every move was cold and arrogant, like a plum blossom blooming in the winter.
"Miss, quickly bestow a seat." The empress dowager was pleasantly surprised.
She looked at Zhu Houzhao, then at Li Hanyi, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager.”Li Han Yi bowed.
"A commoner?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly and turned to look at Zhu Houzhao." My son, this is where you are wrong. Did you not confer any official positions?”
" Mother, Han Yi is just a guard of my son. He has not held any position in the imperial court for the time being…" Zhu Houzhao smiled.
Li Han Yi was summoned and was the Azure Dragon Society's Hall Master Wu Yue.
However, the Azure Dragon Society wasn't part of the Darming Empire after all, so they naturally wouldn't have any positions in the Imperial Court.
"How can this be?" The Empress Dowager smiled at Li Han Yi and said with satisfaction,"" Huang Er, if you don't reward this girl, then it's your fault. Her name is Han Yi, right? Come here…"
The Empress Dowager waved at Li Han Yi.
Li Han Yi frowned slightly, but he still walked over.
The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and held Li Han Yi's hand. She smiled and said,""Although my son is a little mischievous, his temper is not bad. If you are willing, you can bring down the Palace of Earth Tranquility tomorrow and live with this widow. When you choose an auspicious day, this widow will make the decision for you…"
Eh?
Hearing the empress dowager say this, Li Han Yi's eyes widened and he looked at the empress dowager in shock.
"This misunderstanding can't be resolved…?”
Li Hanyi looked at Zhu Houzhao, wanting him to help.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao stood up and looked out of the main hall, as if it had nothing to do with him.
However, at this moment, a loud announcement was heard from outside the door.
"King Anhua requests an audience with the Empress Dowager!"
Zhu Zhi, King of Anhua?
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed.
Although there was no direct evidence to prove that King Anhua was the mastermind behind the Rebellion of the Eight Tigers, he was undoubtedly the most suspicious.
What did he want to do by rushing here this time?
"King Anhua, please come in.”The Empress Dowager heard the announcement outside the door and quickly ordered. Then she smiled at Zhu Houzhao and replied,"This uncle of yours is really filial to mother. He comes to pay his respects every month. As for the other royal families, sigh…"
The empress dowager shook her head.
Soon, a slightly plump middle-aged man rushed in from the door.
That's right, this person was the King of Anhua, Zhu Zhi.
King Qingjing Zhu? His grandfather was the third son of King Jing, King Zhu Zhi of Anhua Gong Yi, and was granted the title of King Anhua.
In fact, he was already very distant from Zhu Houzhao's lineage.
However, ever since Zhu Zhi was granted the title of King of Anhua, he had received permission from the late Emperor Zhu Youtang to enter the capital at any time to meet the emperor.
As a result, Zhu Zhi took the opportunity to visit the Empress and often entered the palace.
"Zhu Zhi Zhi greets the Empress Dowager…Ah!”Zhu Zhi Zhi saw Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting at the side, and was subconsciously shocked. He quickly knelt down and said," I, Zhu Zhi Zhi, did not know that Your Majesty was here. Greetings, Your Majesty!"”
"Get up!" Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, his gaze falling on Zhu Zhi Zhi.
However, Zhu Houzhao wouldn't know if he didn't look. When he saw it, his eyes couldn't help but turn cold, and a hint of killing intent instantly flashed across his eyes.
Just as Zhu Houzhao's eyes swept across Zhu Zhi Zhi, Zhu Zhi Zhi's attributes panel appeared before him.
Name: Zhu Zhi
[Status: Hereditary King of Anhua]
[Duties: Shaanxi Province]
[Cultivation: Finger Profound Realm Grandmaster]
[Loyalty: 5%(decreasing…)]
"My son, your uncle was loyal to the late emperor and mother. He was in Shaanxi, but he didn't dare to slack off. He trained his army to resist the foreign tribes in the northwest…He worked hard and made great contributions.”The empress dowager smiled as she introduced him to Zhu Houzhao.
Humph!
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly.
Not only was his loyalty at 5%, it was still decreasing.
Generally speaking, if the loyalty rate was below 50%, it was already useless to the Daming Empire.
5% loyalty was a clear sign of betrayal.
However, the King of Anhua, Zhu Zhi, had some tricks up his sleeve. He was able to trick the Empress Dowager into submission. If Zhu Houzhao were to convict Zhu Zhi now, the Empress Dowager would definitely not be convinced without evidence!
Then let's wait!
When Yu Huatian verified the evidence of their rebellion, he would be able to capture all of them in one fell swoop!
"Mother, my son still has important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first.”Zhu Houzhao stood up and whispered to Li Hanyi,""Han Yi, stay here and protect the Empress Dowager!”
Zhu Zhi Zhi's cultivation was actually at the Profound Realm, which was beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectations.
Although there was no lack of talented martial artists in the royal family, such as the Ironguts Divine Marquis Zhu Buxiao, who was already a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant.
"Alright, my son, you can go ahead!”The empress dowager did not stop him. She smiled and said," Your Uncle Wang and I also have some things to talk about!”
Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Earth Peace Palace with a ferocious look in his eyes.
"Zhu Zhi Zhi, if I find out that you were the one who colluded with the Eight Tigers to plot this coup, then let the lives of the nine families of King An Hua pay off the debt!”
Zhu Houzhao flung his dragon robe and left the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
