Chapter 435: Power or Fate
"Rebellious son! Are you satisfied now?" Zhou Chaoyuan scolded Zhou Shao, "You forced your grandfather to death with your own hands!"

Zhou Shao held his grandfather's body and sat on the ground blankly. After hearing Zhou Chaoyuan's words, he suddenly looked in one direction and said bitterly:

"It's you! It's all you!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhou Shao's gaze, and saw that the person Zhou Shao was staring at was Princess Zhou Jinqi of the Great Saturday.

Zhou Jinqi trembled all over when she was looked at and kept backing away.

She vehemently denied it, "It's not me! It's not me! It has nothing to do with me!"

Zhou Chaoyuan's eyes widened, "Are you involved in this?" He then started coughing violently, followed by a mouthful of blood spurting out.

"Father!" The eldest princess Zhou Jinxu shouted anxiously.

At this time, Bai Xi walked forward and stuffed a pill into Zhou Chaoyuan's mouth. Zhou Chaoyuan felt better. He looked at Bai Xi gratefully, and then looked at Zhou Jinqi again.

"Speak! You might as well confess the truth!"

Zhou Jinqi was so frightened that she fell to her knees. She hugged the thighs of the eighth princess Zhou Jinling fiercely.

"Eighth sister, please save me, please save me, tell the emperor that it really has nothing to do with me! The emperor loves you the most, he will definitely believe you!"

Zhou Jinling was extremely angry. She saw through Zhou Jinqi's guilty conscience and kicked her away. "I regard you as my own sister, but you actually colluded with the Demon Cult and tried to destroy my Great Zhou royal family?!"

Zhou Shaozao gnashed his teeth and said, "If it weren't for you bringing the Demon Cult into the clan house, how could I have been bewitched by the Demon Cult?"

Seeing that her true identity was exposed, Zhou Jinqi simply stopped pretending. She stood up from the ground with a loud laugh, and glanced at Zhou Jinling, Zhou Chaoyuan and Zhou Shao one by one.

Suddenly she pointed at Zhou Jinling and said, "You! You keep saying that you regard me as your own sister, but in the end, you just treat me as a follower.

Yes, your mother was the high and mighty Concubine Lan, while my mother was from a humble family. After her death, I was left helpless, so I had to rely on you and obey your will.

I begged you to plead with the emperor to release my brother, but you kept refusing, saying that it would make the emperor angry. In the end, you just didn't take me seriously! Now you're telling me about the deep love between sisters!
Bah! Hypocrisy! "

If not, how could her brother die in the palace for no reason?
It turned out that the ninth prince Zhou Li, who was framed and imprisoned by Zhou Jinchun, was dead. One day, he was found dead in his own palace for no reason.

The death of his brother became the fuse that caused Zhou Jinqi to go completely crazy.

Hearing Zhou Jinqi's words, Zhou Jinling's face turned very ugly. Just like Zhou Jinqi said, she really didn't regard Zhou Jinqi as a real sister. She just made fun of her on weekdays.

After scolding Zhou Jinling, Zhou Jinqi looked at Zhou Chaoyuan hatefully, "And you, my beloved father, I did love you so much, but what did you do?"

Then she pointed at Zhou Jinchun and said, "You locked up the Ninth Prince based on the one-sided statement of this bitch and her daughter, causing him to die tragically! He was still so young, and his life had just begun..."

"Ahem~~" Zhou Chaoyuan coughed violently, "He went astray while practicing martial arts, so I locked him up and asked the imperial physician to treat him with all his strength. What's wrong with that?"

"Possessed?" Zhou Jinqi laughed. "How could my ninth brother be possessed?" She glared at Zhou Jinchun fiercely again. "It's because of this bitch. She is a disciple of the Hidden Immortal Sect. Isn't it easy for her to create the illusion that my ninth brother is possessed?"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Chaoyuan was furious, "At that time, your ninth sister didn't even know the Holy Leader of the Hidden Immortal Sect!" After saying that, Zhou Chaoyuan glanced at Zhou Jinchun obliquely.

In fact, over the years, he had the same doubts as Zhou Jinqi, but now, what can doubt do? Her daughter has grown up to the point where he can't touch her.

The ancestor protected her, and the Ten Thousand Demons Dynasty, the Hidden Immortal Sect and the Cangyue Pavilion also protected her.

So he just turned a blind eye.

"Hehe..." Zhou Jinqi sneered, completely disappointed with his father.

Finally, she looked at Zhou Shao, "Brother... don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being stupid. Yes! I introduced you to the Demon Cult, but wasn't it your own decision to cooperate with the Demon Cult? Did I force you?"

She sneered as she spoke, "Now you come to blame me, it's only because your rebellion failed. If you succeeded, you would have thanked me too late! You want to put the blame on me to relieve your guilt? What a coward! A coward!"

Zhou Shao's forehead was bulging with veins due to Zhou Jinqi's scolding, but he had no way to refute.

At this time, Bai Xi said, "The Sixth Princess said that the eldest prince is stupid, but in fact, you are not that smart either. Why don't you ask the Miaosheng Witch over there how your ninth brother died."

When the Sixth Princess mentioned the Ninth Prince Zhou Li, Bai Xi keenly noticed a cruel smile on She Ci Rao's face.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinqi suddenly looked at She Ci Rao who was being forced by Mo Yuan to kneel on the ground.

She Ci Rao raised his head and sneered, "As expected of Emperor Bai Xi, you can see the essence of the problem right away."

Then she looked at Zhou Jinqi and said, "Sixth Princess, now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you. Your brother was killed by our people. Otherwise, how could you cooperate with us obediently?"

As she spoke, she threw her head back and laughed, with arrogance in her laughter.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinqi's face became distorted, and she said in disbelief: "You...you..."

Zhou Chaoyuan said: "Come here, capture the Sixth Princess for me!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, two guards walked out of the crowd and walked quickly towards Zhou Jinqi.

Suddenly Zhou Jinqi yelled, "Don't come over!" At the same time she took out a dagger from her arms.

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately stopped and dared not move forward.

They were not afraid of being hurt by the princess, but they were afraid of hurting the princess. After all, His Majesty said to capture the Sixth Princess, not to kill her.

"Hehe~~Hehe~~" Zhou Jinqi laughed crazily. Suddenly, she put the dagger on her neck and looked at Zhou Chaoyuan and said, "Father, this is the last time I will call you like this. I want you to promise me one last thing, okay?"

Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Zhou Jinqi in silence for a long while, and finally nodded, guessing what she was going to do.

Zhou Jinqi slowly walked up to She Ci Rao and said, "Let me kill this witch with my own hands!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Bai Xi, after all, it was Bi Yuan who captured the person.

Bai Xi nodded gently to Zhou Chaoyuan.

Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Zhou Jinqi again and nodded to her.

Seeing this, Zhou Jinqi squatted down and stabbed the dagger in his hand into She Ci Rao's heart without hesitation.

She Ci Rao did not seem to be afraid of death. She was vomiting blood and her life was coming to an end, but she still had a bright smile on her face.

"My Holy Church will one day rule the world, and all the forces in the Thirteen States will surrender! Hahahaha~~~hahaha~~~"

She died after laughing so hard.

After killing She Ci Rao, Zhou Jinqi pulled the dagger out of her chest. Holding the blood-stained dagger in his hand, he glanced at Zhou Chaoyuan, Zhou Jinchun, Zhou Jinling and others one by one.

Zhou Chaoyuan seemed to realize what Zhou Jinqi was going to do. He slowly turned his head and closed his eyes.

Sure enough, Zhou Jinqi smiled sarcastically and slashed his neck with a dagger. The bright red blood bloomed like a flower and withered in an instant.

Zhou Chaoyuan opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Jinqi's body. After a long while, he said, "Collect the Sixth Princess' body and bury her according to the rites for a princess.

Duke Fuguo...The Duke Fuguo's Mansion retains the title, and the Duke Fuguo's body will be taken back by the Duke Fuguo's Mansion for burial.

The eldest prince was stripped of his status as a prince, his cultivation was abolished, and he was imprisoned in a hard prison, never to be allowed out for life."

Kulao was the place where the Great Zhou imprisoned those who committed serious crimes. The conditions there were not as good as those in the clan residence. Zhou Shao's cultivation was abolished and he was imprisoned there. It was hard to say how long he could survive.

"Yes!"

Soon, the bodies of Zhou Jinqi and the Duke of Fuguo were collected and taken away, and Zhou Shao was also taken away. Bai Xi said to Zhou Chaoyuan, "Your Majesty, how about leaving the bodies of these demon cult members to me for disposal?"

The corpse can be reused in her hands, it would be a shame to just throw it away.

Including the two Tianmen Realm masters who were swallowed by the Void Whale, their bodies were actually preserved intact in the abdominal space of the Void Whale, just waiting to be handed back to Chu Ji for hatching demons.

"Let the Emperor handle it!"

At this time, Zhou Chaoyuan was seriously injured, and he was also a little discouraged, looking very depressed.

After the battlefield was cleaned up and all the officials of the Great Zhou left, the eldest princess Zhou Jinxu found Zhou Jinchun.

"Ninth sister, can you ask the Cold Dew Saint of the Hidden Immortal Sect to come and check on father? I'm afraid father's condition... is not good."

Zhou Chaoyuan has fallen into a coma. Bai Xi has seen his condition and feels powerless to help him. Changyue's power of creation may be able to save his life.

Zhou Jinchun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and invite him right away."

Zhou Jinchun then found Bai Xi, and Bai Xi informed Changyue. Soon Changyue transformed into Luo Qingyi and came to the Great Zhou Palace.

In Zhou Chaoyuan's bedroom, all of Zhou Chaoyuan's princes and princesses were present. They all knelt beside their father's bed. Only the Crown Princess Zhou Jinchun stood beside his bed.

This scene reminded Zhou Jinchun of the time when she shed her heart and blood for her father.

At that time, she knelt on the ground in such an embarrassed and humble manner, not even daring to raise her head.

Back then, she had no control over her own destiny and was like a chess piece, being ordered around at will. But now the situation is very different.

Changyue walked into the bedroom, and Zhou Jinchun hurriedly came up to him and said, "Uncle Master."

Changyue nodded at her, "Go to your father first."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinchun led Changyue to Zhou Chaoyuan.

Changyue sat on the edge of the bed and carefully examined Zhou Chaoyuan's body. Then she frowned and said after withdrawing her hand:
"When the source is broken, no medicine can cure it."

Hearing this, the princes and princesses below all looked terrified.

Changyue took out a pill and fed it into Zhou Chaoyuan's mouth, then used the energy of creation to regulate his body. After a while, Zhou Chaoyuan woke up slowly.

Of course, in his case, awakening is only temporary. If effective treatment is not taken, death is only a matter of time.

Seeing Zhou Chaoyuan waking up, the princes and princesses were all excited.

"Father!"

"Father!"

……

They don't want anything to happen to Zhou Chaoyuan. If anything happens to Zhou Chaoyuan, Zhou Jinchun will succeed him, and then their treatment will not be as good as it is now.

There is a real difference between having your dad be the head of the family and having your brothers and sisters be the head of the family!

Chang Yue said to Zhou Chaoyuan, "Your Majesty, I have a few words to say to you about your health. Could you please ask the princesses and princes to step aside?"

Zhou Chaoyuan nodded and said weakly: "You...all retreat!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

……

The princes and princesses were somewhat reluctant.

At this time, the eldest princess Zhou Jinxu said, "Let's withdraw first and let the Holy Lord Hanlu focus on treating my father."

The princes and princesses then reluctantly stood up and walked out.

Chang Yue added: "The Crown Princess stays."

Zhou Jinchun, who was about to walk out, responded, "Yes, Uncle Master."

After everyone left, Changyue looked at Zhou Chaoyuan and said, "Emperor Yuansu, you have two choices regarding your injury.

First, I can protect you from death, but from then on your cultivation will slowly decline until you become an ordinary person, and you will grow old, get sick, and die like ordinary people.

Second, I can make you healed and restored to your pre-injury state, but there is a condition. "

Zhou Chaoyuan knew that the conditions of the Holy Lord Hanlu would not be simple, so he did not want to agree.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem~~~ Saint Lord Hanlu, you are Chun'er's uncle, and you have a close relationship with my Great Zhou. Do I need any conditions for asking you to help me?"

Changyue said: "If I wasn't Uncle Chun'er, I wouldn't have made this trip at all."

Zhou Chaoyuan was choked.

Seeing that Changyue had no intention of backing down, Zhou Chaoyuan asked, "I wonder what conditions the Holy Lord wants to propose."

Chang Yue said bluntly: "You abdicate and let Chun Er ascend the throne."

Zhou Chaoyuan looked at Changyue in disbelief when he heard this. Even Zhou Jinchun didn't expect that his uncle would make such a request.

Of course, her uncle's request was exactly what she wanted.

"You..." Zhou Chaoyuan stared at Changyue for a while, then turned to look at Zhou Jinchun, "Chun'er, is this what you meant?"

Zhou Jinchun said expressionlessly: "My daughter will follow the arrangements of her uncle."

"Cough, cough, cough~~" Hearing Zhou Jinchun's answer, Zhou Chaoyuan's face turned red and he started coughing violently and uncontrollably. After a long while, he said, "I understand. I finally understand. You have always hated me, right?"

Zhou Jinchun asked expressionlessly, "Shouldn't I hate you?

Because of you, I lost my mother since childhood.

Because of you, I have suffered in the cold palace since childhood.

If you hadn't been poisoned that year and urgently needed my blood to save your life, I would still be trapped in the cold palace now.

You probably don't know that I was almost raped by a little eunuch in the cold palace! I am the princess of the Great Zhou!

I can still talk to you so calmly and am willing to ask my uncle to save you. Shouldn't you think this is my kindness?"

Each of Zhou Jinchun's accusations was like a sharp sword, piercing Zhou Chaoyuan's chest. He opened his mouth, unable to utter a word, his lips trembling constantly.

"Pfft~~"

Finally, Zhou Chaoyuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face quickly turned pale.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said in an extremely low voice:
"Yes, you have the right to hate me..."

Chang Yue said: "Choose, Emperor Yuan Su, life and power, you can only choose one."
