Xiao Xun was somewhat disgusted and directly threw away Princess Li Xiu's body.
This fake Li Xiu might not only be a cross-dresser, but he might also be a transvestite!
"If you kill her, how are you going to investigate the power behind her?”Zhuge Zhengwo frowned.
Xiao Xun's expression was calm." He doesn't even understand the Yun Nation's language. It's impossible for him to be the Yun Nation's princess.
If they wanted to investigate his background, they only needed to send someone to the Yun Nation to obtain the true identity of the Yun Nation. Princess Li Xiu's whereabouts, see which region she disappeared in, and then narrow down the scope of the investigation…
As for this fake Princess Li Xiu, it didn't matter whether she was dead or alive. Since she dared to assassinate the Emperor, she must have been prepared to die. It was useless to keep her.”
"Hmph, as long as she's still alive, I'm confident that I can pry open her mouth?”Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly, his heart filled with suspicion.
"Why do I remember that you East Branch can't even tell if he's a man or a woman?" Xiao Xun mocked.”
Cao Zhengchun's face turned cold.
"So, is she a man or a woman?”Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked. He was quite curious about this.
Xiao Xun looked at Cao Zhengchun and said with a smile,""Supervisor Cao, why aren't you going to check?”
"Bastard! What right do you have to order me around?" Cao Zhengchun said angrily.”
"This old man will do it." Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and walked to Princess Li Xiu's corpse. He moved his right hand slightly, and wisps of Genuine Qi instantly spread around the corpse.
"Your Majesty's initial guess was correct.”Zhuge Zhengwo said in surprise, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
"Is it really a man?"
Other than Xiao Xun, everyone else in the hall was stunned.
Xiao Xun looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked with a faint smile,""Governor Cao, do you still think that I went overboard by killing Pi Xiaotian and the others?”
Cao Zhengchun snorted and remained silent.
"If we don't blow up the matter tonight and alert His Majesty, then in the future, this Princess Li Xiu will definitely enter His Majesty's harem as a man…"
Xiao Xun said leisurely," If that really happens, Supervisor Cao, is it enough for you to only protect His Majesty's safety?”
Cao Zhengchun's expression changed.
"Humph."
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly. Thinking that there might be another man in the harem, his entire face turned green.
Xiao Xun didn't say anything more.
As long as Zhu Houzhao was still a man, he should understand how dangerous Princess Li Xiu's entry into the palace was.
"Thousand Households Xiao."
Zhu Houzhao had his back facing Xiao Xun and the others.
Xiao Xun looked up at Zhu Houzhao.
"Just now, you already proved that there was something wrong with Princess Li Xiu. According to our previous agreement, the matter of you killing more than a hundred people from the East Hall will be forgotten. No one is allowed to mention it again.”
Zhu Houzhao's voice was slightly low and filled with an indescribable emperor's majesty." In addition, as you wish, I will let Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu disregard and investigate the East Hall thoroughly.”
" Vermillion Iron Egg…" Cao Zhengchun's expression changed.
If Zhu Tiedan investigated the East Hall, even if there was nothing wrong with the East Hall, Zhu Tiedan would be able to find out!
"Your Majesty is wise." Xiao Xun said.
"Other than that, you've made a great contribution tonight.”Zhu Houzhao continued.
Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never thought that he would receive any reward.
Cao Zhengchun's eyes turned red. This bastard killed more than a hundred people from the East Hall and was rewarded?
This... Where was the logic!
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and couldn't think of what to reward Xiao Xun with. He asked Zhuge Zhengwo directly," Zhuge Littleflower, what do you think we should reward Thousand-Housekeeper Xiao with?”
"It's not suitable for him to be promoted again," Zhuge Zhengwo said. You can reward the mansion, fertile land, cloth and silk, and give the bull robe.”
"Alright, then I'll reward you with a mansion, a hundred pieces of silk, five hundred mu of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold, and a bullfighting robe.”Zhu Houzhao said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Xun thanked him, but his heart didn't fluctuate at all.
If it was in his previous life, Xiao Xun might have been ecstatic to obtain these rewards.
Now.
In this world where strength reigned supreme, these rewards could only be considered as worldly possessions.
After that.
Zhuge Zhengwo, Xiao Xun, and Shangguan Haitang left together.
Before leaving.
Zhuge Zhengwo wanted to take Princess Li Xiu's corpse away, but Zhu Houzhao stopped him.
After leaving the Martial Arts Hall…
Yuan Xiaozhi, Yuan Xiaotang, Lu Jianxing, and the others surrounded him.
"It's fine now. Let's go back together.”Xiao Xun said with a faint smile.
"Are you alright?" The people waiting outside were surprised.
Xiao Xun didn't say much.
Everyone left together.
In the Martial Arts Practice Hall.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Zhengchun lowered his head, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Kneel down." Zhu Houzhao was expressionless.
Cao Zhengchun's face stiffened.
In the next moment.
He bent his legs and knelt on the ground.
Ever since he became the supervisor of the East Chamber, he rarely knelt down.
This time, he had no choice but to kneel.
"Dog slave."
"It was a waste of my trust in you to hand over the East Chamber to you.”
"You can't even protect my palace, what use do I have for you?”
Zhu Houzhao walked in front of Cao Zhengchun and kicked him on the shoulder." Originally, I had planned to hand over the Leopard Branch to the East Military Bureau to protect. Now, it seems that I have to reconsider!”
Cao Zhengchun's expression changed drastically and he quickly said,""I really didn't expect that this Princess Li Xiu was actually a man in disguise.
When I heard that someone wanted to taint Princess Li Xiu, I only thought that Princess Li Xiu would soon be Your Majesty's woman, so I didn't dare to be careless. That's why I urgently ordered Pi Xiao Tian to capture Xiao Xun.”
"Heh, so you're still doing this for my own good?”Zhu Houzhao laughed in anger.
Cao Zhengchun said in a muffled voice,"We were indeed guilty for not discovering Princess Li Xiu's gender in time. However, Princess Li Xiu is bearing the title of His Majesty's future concubine. I can't just watch her reputation be damaged.
Her reputation is related to the face of our Great Ming Imperial Family.
We can't just ignore it.
Your Majesty, you saw it just now. Xiao Xun wants the whole world to know that your future concubine is a man in disguise.
He had never thought of protecting the dignity of the royal family. After he went out, who knew how he would arrange this matter.”
Zhu Houzhao frowned and snorted,"I haven't taken this fake princess as my concubine yet. She can't be considered my woman."”
"It doesn't count now, but previously, this fake Princess Li Xiu came to marry. As the supervisor of the East Chamber, I heard that someone wanted to rape him…How could I not go?”
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun's face actually showed some grievance." Xiao Xun discovered that there was something wrong with this fake Princess Li Xiu, but he never told us!
He could have told Pi Xiaotian that he was sent to capture him.
However, he didn't. Instead, he killed Pi Xiaotian and more than a hundred elites of the East Chamber!”
Zhu Houzhao frowned and glanced at Cao Zhengchun." What are you trying to say?”
"I don't deny that I've made a huge mistake this time, but Your Majesty can't completely trust that Xiao Xun.”Cao Zhengchun quickly said," He's too sinister. He could have spared Princess Li Xiu's life for the time being and let the East Chamber interrogate her. They might have been able to find the mastermind.
But Xiao Xun directly broke Princess Li Xiu's neck. He didn't want us to redeem ourselves.”
"None of them are good things." Zhu Houzhao cursed in his heart. After listening to Cao Zhengchun's analysis, he suddenly felt that Xiao Xun wasn't as loyal as he appeared to be. It was thicker.
This made him feel a little depressed. He felt that everyone around him was like tigers and wolves. There was no good person at all.
"Get lost."
"Tomorrow, I will have Iron-guts Divine Marquis investigate the East Chamber thoroughly.”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.
" Vermilion Iron Egg…" Cao Zhengchun's expression froze, but he could only helplessly reply 'yes' and silently leave the Martial Arts Hall.
As soon as he stepped out of the Martial Arts Hall, his expression instantly turned sinister and gloomy.
This time, not only did the East Hall not gain any advantage, but they also suffered heavy losses!
"Xiao Xun!"
Cao Zhengchun gritted his teeth, his entire body filled with killing intent.
In the Martial Arts Practice Hall.
"Is he really a man?"
Zhu Houzhao walked up to Princess Li Xiu's corpse and muttered, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
