Evil of all ages

Chapter 79 Meeting an Opponent
“My surname is Huang, and hers is also Huang. If you still don’t understand.”

"When she comes next time, ask her who lives in her house, and you'll find out."

After saying that, Huang Taichu's figure vanished into thin air.

"We both have the surname Huang, no wonder you can forgive even my betrayal, and you can just give up the secret key to the divine medicine without hesitation."

"So they're family, probably siblings, but she doesn't seem to know how mysterious and powerful the Ghost Emperor is."

Liu Caiyue seemed to understand everything. No wonder her father, who had been dead for decades, would pass on the legacy of Medicine King Valley to her.

It turns out that the Ghost Emperor and his entire family are all connected to ghosts and gods, and know the power of ghosts and gods.

However, the younger sister seems to be far inferior to the older brother...

As Huang Yu'er left the ghost market, she heard people discussing it everywhere, which made her furrow her brows.

Only a few people, or those who have half-stepped into darkness, know about the Ghost Market.

Now everyone on the streets knows about it.

Someone is causing trouble!
Huang Yu'er immediately realized that someone was targeting the Ghost Market.

"I hope nothing happens."

After thinking about it, Huang Yu'er decided to contact the Fierce Tiger Gang and ask them to keep an eye on the government's actions.

Originally, the ghost market was kept in the dark, but now that it's in the open, the imperial court will likely find it difficult to tolerate its existence.

She wasn't concerned about the ghost market; she was concerned about her master.

Of course, when contacting the Fierce Tiger Gang, she wouldn't let them see her true colors.

Ultimately, the Fierce Tiger Gang is just a gang, so one or two transactions won't cause any problems.

In long-term transactions, if the Tiger Gang gets greedy, it will be another troublesome matter.

Royal Palace
Ziyun Palace

Purple auspiciousness, phoenix soaring in the sky, Xu Yunxue, known among the people as the Demon Queen, is reviewing memorials.

She is beautiful; she's not even thirty, but looks like she's only twenty-two.

It's unclear whether she's practicing some special martial art or simply has excellent skincare skills.

She possessed the allure of Daji, as well as the charm and talent of Wu Zetian.

Beyond her alluring face, her figure is even more stunning.

The phoenix robe could not conceal her beauty...

When she saw the next memorial, Xu Yunxue paused for a moment.

This is the seventh prince's memorial.

"The Seventh Prince is making such a big fuss because he wants to gain fame."

After reading the memorial, Xu Yunxue's ethereal voice echoed softly in the hall.

Xu Yunxue was in no hurry to approve it and asked Zhu Duo'er, who was beside her, about the ghost market.

"There is already a Ghost King in the South City Prison, and now a Ghost Emperor has emerged in the Ghost Market. Who knows how many more demons and monsters are waiting to appear?"

After she finished speaking, Xu Yunxue gave her approval.

They agreed that the Seventh Prince should lead his troops to wipe out the Ghost Market.

After reviewing the last three memorials, today's workload is complete.

Fan Hongyan, the Right Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who was guarding outside the hall, was also summoned in.

Without needing Xu Yunxue's instructions, Zhu Duo'er folded the zither on the table, picked it up, and handed it to Fan Hongyan.

Fan Hongyan also needed to show these revised memorials to His Majesty for review.

These revised memorials are only valid if His Majesty approves them.

"Commander Fan, is His Majesty still the same as before?"

Upon hearing the Empress's question, Fan Hongyan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, it's the same as always."

Fan Hongyan lowered his head and answered.

"Your Majesty is truly..."

Xu Yunxue paused for a moment, but did not reveal that His Majesty was refining the elixir of immortality and creating demonic obstacles.

"Commander Fan, did Commander Cui accept the calligraphy and painting you gave him?"

Xu Yunxue dared to ask this question because she had already recruited Fan Hongyan as one of her own.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard has one commander and two deputy commanders.

The commander had made great contributions and was bestowed the surname Li by His Majesty, becoming known as Li Tianwu.

Li Tianwu is quite old and has been in seclusion for three months.

If he survives, he will surely become a Grandmaster.

If he cannot come out, one of the two deputy commanders, Cui Dongping and Fan Hongyan, will have to take Li Tianwu's place.

His Majesty is getting old, and Xu Yunxue also needs to plan for the future. Subduing one person is not enough; she wants to subdue Cui Dongping as well.

“Cui Dongping is always by His Majesty’s side, so there’s no opportunity to invite him out or give him gifts,” Fan Hongyan replied.

Xu Yunxue didn't say anything upon hearing this, and waved for Fan Hongyan to leave.

"Why isn't my surname Li?"

Xu Yunxue suddenly sighed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Duo'er's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head to remain silent.

As Xu Yunxue's confidante, how could she not know what Xu Yunxue was thinking?

Xu Yunxue truly wanted to be an empress!
The only difference is that the Da'an Dynasty was ruled by the Li family.

If it's a prince or a nobleman who rebels.

The royal ancestors wouldn't interfere; they followed the principle of survival of the fittest, as long as the emperor's surname was Li.

If someone from another family wants that position, the royal patriarch will step forward.

"Is the Ghost King in the South City Prison a real one, or a fake one?"

Xu Yunxue stopped thinking about anything else and became curious, since the rumors about the South City Prison were as bizarre as they could possibly be.

Even she, deep within the palace, could hear about it; how could she not be curious?

"Di Qingtian is still under investigation."

"However, if a detective like Di Qingtian has been unable to find the real culprit for so long, then there must be either a ghost king in the South City Prison or the waters inside are particularly deep."

"That's what Zhu Duo'er replied."

"Isn't there a Ghost King's son in the South City Prison? Couldn't other forces learn about the situation inside the South City Prison through him?"

Xu Yunxue asked.

"The son of the Ghost King is able to endure loneliness and rarely leaves the Heavenly Prison, making it very difficult for people to get close to him."

"And then there's the fact that he's particularly wicked, and people who are against him all die in various accidents."

"With Di Qingtian keeping an eye on him, other forces dare not touch Di Qingtian's prey, for fear of offending the person behind Di Qingtian."

"Zhu Duo'er said."

"It's so strange, everyone who's been a threat to him has died in some kind of accident!?"

Xu Yunxue felt a surge of curiosity about this son of the Ghost King.

“Indeed, there were all sorts of unexpected events. Di Qingtian has investigated them all, and those who are against him are all people from the various princes.”

"That's what Zhu Duo'er replied."

"The people of the various princes?"

Xu Yunxue cast a gossipy glance at her.

"Because the princes discovered that the son of the Ghost King and Di Qingtian's sister were exchanging letters, and that their relationship was rather ambiguous."

"That's what Zhu Duo'er replied."

"Elaborate"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Duo'er had no choice but to recount in detail the affair between the Ghost King's son and Di Qingtian's sister.

"No matter how you look at it, it seems like this son of the Ghost King did it on purpose."

"However, to drive our detective crazy, this son of the Ghost King must be either an outstanding person or a genius."

"Di Qingtian has met his match."

Xu Yunxue wanted to laugh when she thought of how Di Qingtian was going crazy because of her sister and the Ghost King's son.

"Should we send someone to contact the Ghost King's son and recruit him into our ranks?"

Upon hearing the Empress's definition of the Ghost King's son as either an outstanding person or a genius, Zhu Duo'er wanted to recruit such a talent for the Empress's use.

"Now is not the time to approach him, because our Emperor should have already taken notice of him."

Xu Yunxue knows His Majesty best. If he fails to obtain the elixir, he will definitely turn to gods and ghosts.

If the gods don't respond, then one can only turn to evil spirits.

And the Southern City Prison is so eerie; His Majesty will eventually go there.

"Just have someone keep an eye on it, don't interfere too much."

……

The Seventh Prince's Residence

Li Xingwen was thrilled to receive the imperial decree.

"Let's go, let's go to the Five Cities Military Command to gather troops now."

Li Xingwen led Wen Tianzuo and the others towards the Five Cities Military Command.

Huang Yu'er panicked upon receiving the news through the Fierce Tiger Gang and rushed to the Ghost Market.

"Master, come with me quickly! The imperial court has sent troops to raze the Ghost Market."

The sound came in before the person even entered the medicine hut.
