Ninefold Supreme Heaven

Chapter 558
There was nothing to say all night, Huang Wu's prince's mansion seemed to be calm, and the guards in the dark also received orders and did not show up at all.

But in the home of a big and important official in the imperial city, it was tantamount to setting off a huge wave.

Almost one-third of the descendants of the ministers in the court were invited to the First Prince's mansion to participate in the social gathering, but the news they got after they came back made them, the fathers, run away immediately.

Before dawn the next day, those ministers had already gathered outside the palace. These ministers all had very angry expressions on their faces, and some military officers even felt like they were going to kill everyone.

"Damn it, you dared to poison my son. The eldest prince did this, it really chilled the heart of this old man."

"That's right, and she dared to kill Master Shangshu in broad daylight. The most abominable girl named Zhou Menglan. Relying on her own master, she dared to use a living person to plant poison. This time, no matter what, the Lord must give us An explanation."

"Shangshu just impeached the First Prince, but he was captured alive, and he was still in the Shangshu Mansion. Is this a warning for us veterans?"

"Hmph, I still don't believe it. Is it so difficult that the Lord has indulged him to such a lawless point? And that Zhou Menglan should be shredded into pieces."

"Even if the eldest prince cannot be touched this time, Zhou Menglan must come out and give us an explanation."

"Hmph, I can't touch the eldest prince. Does he really think he is the prince? I heard that the fifth prince also went there last night. If it wasn't for the fifth prince and his friend, I'm afraid we would have already been given permission by now." Blackmailed."

"Kill, now is the critical juncture of the battle with the Wan Yao Temple. The eldest prince has made such a small move in the rear. Let me see who else can protect him this time."

"If I can't get rid of the poison on my son, even if I risk my life today, I will impeach him."

A group of veterans had already become furious, and many of them even had bloodshot eyes, and they looked like they would lose their minds at any moment.

Any son who was poisoned by that kind of poison would lose his mind, and these old ministers did not question the First Prince overnight, they were already able to control their emotions.

There were more and more people going to the morning court. When they saw these old officials showing murderous looks one by one, many of them didn't know what happened.

But when they knew the whole story, they all became very angry.

One must know that it is very difficult for cultivators to have children, and they do not have secret techniques like emperors. Many people can only have one or two children in their entire lives.

And those new ministers couldn't help thinking that if they couldn't impeach the First Prince severely this time, then the next bad luck would fall on them.

Just as the morning court was about to begin, a murderous cloud had already appeared outside the palace.

"The emperor has a decree. If I feel unwell today, I will cancel it early. My lords, go back."

Just when the anger in these ministers was about to erupt, such an insidious voice came from beside their ears. When that voice appeared, all the senior ministers who were originally suppressing suddenly became furious.

"What, cancel, what does the emperor mean? Is it true that the eldest prince is going to be indulged to such a lawless point, or is it that I don't pay attention to all my veterans?"

"If the emperor doesn't give me an explanation today, I will wait outside, waiting for the opening of the next morning court."

"Wait? Hmph, since the emperor ignores my old Chen's difficulties, then we have no choice but to question the eldest prince."

"That's right. Since the emperor is not feeling well, please ask the emperor to rest for a few days. Even if I risk my life, I will find justice for my son today."

"Hmph, I still don't believe that a mere prince's mansion can stop me from waiting."

Among these veterans, there were many military officers with good cultivation, and after they said such murderous words, they turned around and walked outside.

Without exception, a look of pain appeared on their faces.

Even though I have worked hard for the Dayan Dynasty for many years, in the end, I can't match the blood relationship between father and son.

"My lords, you don't have to go to the eldest prince's mansion. Last night, the emperor ordered the eldest prince to go to the front line to kill a demon king. If he can't kill the demon king, he will come to see you. Now, the eldest prince is no longer in the prince's mansion." gone."

Just when a group of senior officials were angrily going to question the eldest prince, that voice that was neither male nor female, nor yin nor yang reappeared. There was no emotion in the voice, as indifferent as a stone.

But just after those old officials heard that voice, their bodies froze.

"Since the eldest prince is not here, then I will go to look for Zhou Menglan. This girl dared to trick the eldest prince to poison my heirs. With so many adults questioning her together, I think who else can save her."

Hearing that the eldest prince was not in the mansion, these old ministers pointed their finger at Zhou Menglan again.But just after someone finished saying this, he felt a chill enveloping him in an instant.

"Who is it? If you want to attack the old man's disciples, all of them are so old. It's really shameful to care about a little girl."

At this moment, Zhou Menglan's master appeared in front of the ministers wearing a black shirt, and in his hand was a palm-sized jade bottle.

"Hey, what wind brought Mr. Lan Xiaotian here? When the emperor summoned you last night, you still said you were not free. Why did you show up so early now? Are you done?"

That voice was full of sneer, but in the ear of the other party, it made him feel uneasy.

"The little boy is so stubborn that he didn't know what to do and dared to attack the children of all the adults. This matter is very serious. As his master, I can't stay out of it. I have made some antidote overnight. My lord accepts the antidote for my sake, and let the young man go."

Zhou Menglan's master, that is, Lan Xiaotian, calmly looked at the people in front of him who were about to run away. Although what he said seemed to be discussing, the indifference on his face did not allow any room for negotiation.

"Hey... the spirit poison master can even refine the antidote, but I dare not give the antidote refined by Master Lan to the child at will. If the child can't bear it, I'm afraid I will have no hope of revenge in this life."

"Thank you, Lord Lan, for your "kindness". However, there is a grievance and a debtor. The eldest prince has already gone to the front line. We can put this matter aside and settle it when he comes back. However, this girl Zhou Menglan is so lawless. Don't take me Waiting for all the old ministers to look at it, we must give us an explanation for this matter."

With so many important officials, and they are still outside the palace, they are not afraid of Lan Xiaotian at all. He must not be the only spiritual poison master in the Dayan Dynasty.

"Confession? The antidote that the old man rushed to make overnight, isn't it an explanation? What else do you need to explain? Do you want the old man to visit your homes one by one?"

Lan Xiaotian's expression was also very ugly, he never expected that these people would be so difficult to deal with, usually these people would not even dare to breathe when they saw him.

"Master Lan's words are a little too much. In this imperial capital, who dares to stop Lord Lan's footsteps, but the old man and others still say that, the wrong has a head and a debt, and they will hand over Zhou Menglan to Lord Lan. Come out and accept the punishment you deserve."

"That's right, Lord Shangshu's disappearance before. I'm afraid it also has a great relationship with that girl. Lord Lan, do you still want to cover her up?"

"Murdering an official of the imperial court is a capital crime. I hope Master Lan can understand."

"As for Master Lan's antidote, I really don't dare to take it back. I'll go find another master later. I think that master will definitely sell the old man and others to save face."

"So I appreciate Master Lan's kindness. We will not let her go about Zhou Menglan's matter."

All the veterans didn't take Lan Xiaotian's threat to heart, but in the palace, there was a man dressed as an eunuch with a faint sneer on his lips.

Everything is developing in the expected direction.

"Lord Lan, don't worry about it. Last night, the emperor ordered someone to refine the antidote without side effects, and now it has been sent to your lords' houses. My lords, I'm sorry, I just forgot about it. Don't be offended, my lord."

The voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded at the right time, and just after his words were spoken, a faint murderous intent flashed across Lan Xiaotian's face.

"Okay, very good. Sure enough, in this imperial capital, nothing can escape the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Since this is the case, the old man has nothing to say, so I leave."

Lan Xiaotian, who was aggrieved, gave those ministers a cold look. Sure enough, after hearing that the elixir master in the palace had made a move, expressions of excitement flashed across the faces of these people.

"My humble minister thanks the emperor for his great kindness."

These people are all concerned about their own heirs. As for the Shangshu who is regarded as a poisonous seed, no one will go to seek justice for him.

So far, the emperor has never mentioned that Lord Shangshu. Obviously, it's not because he doesn't know about it, but because he turned a blind eye to it.

The reason for this has to be guessed by everyone.

"Father, it's really not easy. It's obviously his fault, and you turned defeat into victory in the blink of an eye. Zhou Menglan, Lan Xiaotian, and the eldest prince are simply pawns in his hands. Up to now, these people still can't see through it. .”

About two streets away from the imperial palace, the figures of Wang Qiang and Huang Wu quietly appeared. Looking at the entrance of the imperial palace, which was full of murderous aura before, it was peaceful now. Wang Qiang couldn't help feeling a little admiration for the emperor's methods.

"Yeah, he is too good at playing with power and people's hearts, otherwise, hehe..."

When Huang Wu said this, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, even his own son could be discarded at any time as a pawn, such a father made him grow up in fear since he was a child.

"But to be honest, he is really good to you. Maybe, if you have time, you should have a good chat with your father."

As Wang Qiang said, he turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a creepy aura suddenly appear, covering him.
