The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 109 All parties’ calculations
Emperor Qing and Li Yunrui walked out of the side hall of Hanguang Palace one after another.

The autumn rain, which had been falling all night, finally stopped. The gorgeous palace lanterns cast their reflections on the wet marble floor, making it look dark and deep.

"Tell me, what happened today?"

Emperor Qing turned around and looked at the eldest princess, saying meaningfully: "Don't fool me with the same tricks you used to fool my mother!"

The eldest princess showed a tearful expression and said, "Brother, I have never concealed anything, have I?"

Concubine Tang was a hidden agent of Nanzhao whom she discovered by accident.

The eldest princess threatened her family's lives and cooperated with her in staging such a big show.

The purpose was certainly not to kill the second prince, but to alienate the relationship between Concubine Shu and the Queen.

Today, the seeds of doubt have been planted, and they will surely take root and sprout tomorrow.

But with the death of Concubine Tang, all of this became untraceable, and Li Yunrui asked himself if he had left any loopholes.

"Really? But why do I always feel that you sent someone to instigate Concubine Tang?" Emperor Qing asked mysteriously.

For a competent emperor, there is no need for any evidence to suspect someone.

He just needs to trace the source and see who benefits the most after the assassination.

After this incident, it was inevitable that Concubine Shu would have a rift with the Queen.

The eldest princess used the excuse of investigating the case to not only ease the relationship between her and the queen mother, but also to extend her tentacles into the deep palace.

Therefore, Princess Li Yunrui was undoubtedly the biggest winner after the assassination.

In the eyes of Emperor Qing, he was naturally the mastermind behind this matter.

The eldest princess' eyes turned red, and her weak expression made me feel pity for her.

This woman is clearly someone who has given birth to a child, but the charm that she inadvertently reveals is even more alluring than that of a young girl.

There are not many people in the world who can resist the charm of the eldest princess, but Emperor Qing is one of them!

"Royal brother, ever since you handed the inner treasury over to me, I have been unable to sleep day and night, and have been scheming against those shop owners. I have barely managed to stabilize the situation. How could I have the energy to take care of the affairs of the palace?" The eldest princess said aggrievedly.

Emperor Qing remained unmoved. His political sensitivity was honed through countless court struggles, and he trusted his intuition.

However, the eldest princess was right about one thing. She was indeed the best candidate to take charge of the Ye family business left by Ye Qingmei.

"Chengze is my son, the blood of the emperor, and he cannot be bullied." Emperor Qing said calmly: "Yun Rui, do you understand?"

Emperor Qing seldom calls the eldest princess by her name. Whenever he does, it means a "serious warning"!
"I understand, little sister." The eldest princess said with a serious look in her heart.

After visiting Concubine Shu and the Second Prince and warning the Eldest Princess, Emperor Qing came to the Imperial Study.

At that time, there was already a middle-aged man in a wheelchair waiting here quietly, with a wool blanket covering his legs to block out the autumn chill.

"Tell me, what did you find out?" Emperor Qing asked the same question to the paralyzed middle-aged man, but his attitude was very casual.

Because the middle-aged man in front of him was his most trusted partner, Chen Pingping, the President of the Supervisory Yuan.

"The poison that the Second Prince was poisoned with was indeed the cat button from the southern island."

Chen Pingping said slowly, "But the cat buttons mixed in the Second Prince's pastries are fresh goods, but the ones that Concubine Tang took were old things she brought with her when she entered the palace."

After Chen Pingping said this, Emperor Qing understood that there was indeed someone behind the poisoning of the Second Prince.

The identity of the mastermind behind this is almost revealed...

"Let's get to the point." Emperor Qing continued.

He believed in Chen Pingping's ability. Since he had investigated, he would definitely be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

"Recently, a merchant ship from the inner treasury came from the south. I heard that it brought a lot of pearls and corals, which are very popular in the capital." Chen Pingping said: "A close maid beside the princess once had contact with the leader of the merchant ship."

"Is there any evidence?" Emperor Qing said.

"The leader of the merchant ship has confessed. This is his confession." Chen Pingping took out a confession from his sleeve.

Emperor Qing took it and looked at it and said, "My sister is really worrying."

The Supervisory Yuan is the only powerful organization. Although Chen Pingping is loyal enough, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Emperor Qing prepared for a rainy day by asking the eldest princess to use the financial resources of the inner treasury to establish an intelligence organization directly under the royal family.

This was the first time that this intelligence organization had an indirect confrontation with the Supervisory Commission under Chen Pingping.

The result is obvious, and we can only say that age makes the best.

Although the eldest princess is smart, she is still young after all, and a little more immature than Chen Pingping.

"I know about this matter, you can leave now." Emperor Qing said.

Chen Pingping bowed and left, and Emperor Qing was the only one left in the imperial study.

The incident of the second prince being assassinated just passed like that.

As a result, the eldest princess lost a personal maid, and Concubine Shu gained an eunuch, Dai, who was appointed by Emperor Qing.

On the second day after waking up, Fang Hao learned the most basic truth from Concubine Shu.

But Fang Hao knew that being secretly poisoned was not that simple.

This is the sadness of being a chess piece. Life and death are not in your own hands, and you don’t even have the qualifications to know the truth.

No wonder the second prince, who looked like a literary youth in the original novel, would be caught up in an endless power struggle.

Because only supreme power can bring real sense of security to these nobles.

Unfortunately, in Fang Hao's opinion, these are putting the cart before the horse. Only the most powerful personal strength is the real reliance.

"I don't know, how is my luck in the Joy of Life world?"

Fang Hao was lying on the bed, with a twenty-sided dice in his palm that only he could see.

It is the "Universal Divine Dice"!
At this moment, one of the twenty sides of the Universal Die was "shining brightly", which looked extremely unusual.

"So that's it!" After receiving the information conveyed by the Universal Divine Dice, Fang Hao was thoughtful.

It turned out that the Universal Divine Dice had recovered some of its power after Fang Hao experienced a world.

A randomly drawn superpower can be permanently solidified and become the user's innate superpower.

This solidified superpower will exist permanently, unlike before when it could only last for one day.

Fang Hao is quite looking forward to this.

In the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he has never used the Universal Divine Dice as his regular means or trump card.

This is because the randomness of the Universal Divine Dice is too strong.

Superpowers such as "brisk walking" and "refreshed" are almost useless to Fang Hao in the later stage.

Although superpowers like "teleportation" and "time stop" are powerful, the probability of their random occurrence is too low, and they are difficult to use in actual combat.

But if he could successfully solidify a rare superpower, he could use it as his own regular means, which would have a completely different meaning for Fang Hao.
