Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 423 On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Emperors

Yes, it was just Hu Yu finding fault but Lu Yanqing never accepted Hu Yu, just like Zhao Mingyue never accepted him again.That's why Hu Yu jumped over the wall in a hurry and threatened Lu Yanqing that if he didn't make up with him, he would shake up their past affairs.

In fact, he was in a somewhat similar situation to Hu Yu, but he failed to threaten Zhao Mingyue like Hu Yu threatened Lu Yanqing.

No, he has already threatened Zhao Mingyue. Didn't he often threaten her with Chu Ziyan's life before?It's just that now that she doesn't have a bargaining chip to threaten her, she has nothing to protect and is not afraid of anything, that's why he can't grasp her so much.

Hou Xizhou: "So what are you going to do?"

"Find the truth."

"This truth may make you lose more than you gain."

"Since it is the truth, it has nothing to do with gain or loss."

Zhao Mingyue is fearless.

"If the ghost king wants to follow, then that's all, the matter of the monster clan can be resolved by yourself."

Zhao Mingyue went to the Red Fox Clan with Feichi and Menglu after Xiri left.

Hong Yuanji was very surprised to see Zhao Mingyue's sudden visit.

But he could think that she came here because of the matter of Hu Yu and his daughter Hong Danna. He thought about the matter carefully and felt that he had no loopholes, so he greeted the demon king Zhao Mingyue with the sorrow of a newly deceased daughter.

Hong Yuanji: "I don't know why the demon king is here."

From the moment she entered the door, Mingyue had already looked at Hong Yuanji's intimates, and she decided to give courtesy first and then fight.

"The chief of the Red Clan is sad and obedient."

"Thank you Demon King for your concern. Fortunately, the murderer has been caught. The young master will not die in vain, and the little girl will not die in vain. This is the end of the matter, and the grass people have already..."

Having said that, Hong Yuanji lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Mingyue said: "I came today to meet someone."

"who?"

"Xiaozi."

Xiao Zi is Hong Danna's personal servant girl, and Hong Yuanji said without much thought: "Xiao Zi, that girl is very close to Danna, she has bid farewell since Dana left, and Cao Min didn't bother to find out where she went now. .”

"So, the Red Patriarch doesn't know where Xiao Zi went?"

"I really don't know."

"Okay, then may I ask some people who might know."

"...The grassroots don't even know, let alone them."

"Do they know, let me ask."

Hong Yuanji looked at Mingyue for a moment and said, "Your Majesty will listen to you."

Zhao Mingyue first ordered a guard inside the house, which surprised Hong Yuanji, then Mingyue went outside and stood for a long time, when she saw a servant passing by, she called him over again.

It was actually Zhou Wen and Zhang Wu!

Hong Yuanji's complexion became unnatural, with cold sweat on his forehead, Zhao Mingyue took the two of them to the side hall, interrogated them separately, and then came back alone and stood in front of Hong Yuanji, and said sharply: "Hong Yuanji, you really don't know where Xiaozi is going. Where is it?"

Both Zhou Wen and Zhang Wu are his confidantes, it is impossible to betray him!
In the cold weather, Hong Yuanji's forehead was slightly sweaty, he gritted his teeth and endured it: "Caomin really doesn't know."

"Hmph, then I'll give you a hint...well."

"..."

"Otherwise, just to remind you, what technique did you use to seal the well?"

"!"

Hong Yuanji looked at Zhao Mingyue, he was indeed the one who threw Xiao Zi into the well, if it wasn't for those two attendants, Gao Mi, how could Zhao Mingyue know that Xiao Zi's body was under the well, and that he used sorcery to kill her? Sealed the well?
Sure enough, he was betrayed by those two guys!

Hong Yuanji finally couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down, telling all the facts.

"The grassroots are convicted! The grassroots are convicted!"

Hu Yu and Hong Danna were not happy after their marriage. Hong Danna clung to Hu Yu's past and quarreled a little for two days and quarreled for three days. Because of his fault, he started looking for Lu Yanqing to make him change his mind.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanqing, who was abandoned by him at the beginning, was already unmoved, which made Hu Yu more painful and unwilling, and he became the person who couldn't let go of the past. After Hong Danna found out about his frequent looking for Lu Yanqing, Hu Yu He also went all out and told Hu Danna that he just likes men, if she quarrels again he will divorce her!
After the quarrel, Hu Yu approached Lu Yanqing and was rejected again, and finally released his words to make their affairs public. Lu Yanqing left angrily, and later Xiri planted a death mark on him.

However, it was Hong Danna who really killed Hu Yu.

After Hong Danna found Hu Yu, they quarreled again. Hu Yu pushed her down impatiently and wanted to leave. Hong Danna assassinated Hu Yu from behind in anger.

Originally thought that Hu Yu would be on guard, but he just turned around and scolded her, and then, Hong Danna's sword pierced his body, who knew that one move was fatal.

After Hong Danna found out, she was afraid that she hurried back to her natal home to find her father, Hong Yuanji. Hong Yuanji cursed at the time, if the Fox King knew that Hong Danna had killed his youngest son, the Red Fox clan would definitely suffer. .

Hong Yuanji left in a rage, originally to find a scapegoat for her daughter, who knew that Hong Danna blamed herself and was afraid, and finally chose to commit suicide. Hong Yuanji found the scapegoat but it was too late, and her daughter was already dead.

But in order to keep the Yaozu, Hong Yuanji decided to put the blame on the scapegoat, so he told the scapegoat the details of how Hong Danna told him to kill Hu Yu.

And he used the "Bi'an flower" on Hu Yu's body as a topic, saying that the ghost king probably knew that Hu Yu once sold the news of the ghost clan to Wuman's subordinates for a beauty, so he planted a death mark on him, and the ghost king would sooner or later Hu Yu will be killed, and perhaps the Fox Clan will be implicated. The best way now is to close the case immediately...

That's how it happened before.

Hong Yuanji said: "Now all the damned and not damned are dead. If the demon king now tells the fox king that Dana killed Hu Yu, the fox clan will inevitably have civil turmoil. Does the southern demon king who has just returned want to be lost like this?"

Zhao Mingyue: "The implication is that the Red Patriarch wants to establish himself again?"

"If the grass people want to stand on their own, they won't go to great lengths to reconcile with the fox king. It depends on whether the demon king will give the red fox a chance to change their minds. My daughter who killed Hu Yu is dead, and the scapegoat is nothing more than Death row prisoner, I am a fox clan doing this, to share the worries and problems of the demon king."

Mingyue looked at him: "So, I still have to thank you?"

"You don't need to thank me, please turn a blind eye to the demon king."

"How can you face Xiao Zi with my closed eyes? Just because she knew that the murderer was Miss, she was silenced."

"The demon king wants to watch the civil strife?"

"The patriarch's threat doesn't seem strong enough. The reason why you dare not offend the Fox King is because the Ghost King has said that all the Nanman who don't return will be wiped out by the ghost clan, right?"

Hong Yuanji: "..."

Zhao Mingyue guessed again. On the surface, he was afraid of the Fox King, but in fact he was even more afraid of the ghost clan.Hong Yuanji, who was still pretentious at first, finally faltered a bit: "It really seems that when this happened, the fox king was furious. What good is the civil strife in the fox clan doing for the demon king? Even if it's for self-protection, the grass people are still taking care of the overall situation indirectly. , why does the demon king make such a big deal up?"

"I don't need to make a fuss." Mingyue said.

Hong Yuanji looked at her in surprise.

She continued: "On the surface, the matter will still be your 'consideration of the overall situation', and the murderer will also be the death row prisoner."

Hong Yuanji heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately kowtowed to Mingyue: "The demon king is indeed Mingjun!"

"I haven't finished yet, Xiao Zi's life still needs to be paid by your murderer."

"...The demon king wants to kill me?"

"I can save Xiao Zi's life, but her cultivation has to be trained from scratch, so how many years of cultivation she has on her body, you have to take as much cultivation from you."

"How can this be equal!"

"If you don't want to, how about going to court and letting the ghost king decide?"

Hong Yuanji: "..."

Xiao Zi's "corpse" was brought out from the well, and Zhao Mingyue injected the remnants of the demon soul obtained last night into her Yuan Dan, and let Fei Chi bring it back to Jiuqu City.

Xiaozi has 700 years of cultivation.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyue lost 500 years of Hong Yuanji's cultivation, and the remaining [-] years were taken from Zhou Wen and Zhang Wu on average.

She knew that her punishment was not fair, and it might take a long time for Xiao Zi to wake up, or she might never wake up.

But as Hong Yuanji said, such an ending has more advantages than disadvantages.

This is against the so-called justice in her heart, but... She has learned what Que Lin told her, which is more important.

Rights are always about safeguarding the interests of the emperor, so today's demon king Zhao Mingyue chose interests.

Fairness is always the struggle of the ruled class, so today's interests make things difficult for Zhao Mingyue, an onmyoji.

Even if she could reduce the murderer's cultivation base as the result of the trial, it was not the law in her heart.

But think about it the other way around, if it is decided according to the justice she knows, the result of the trial may not be heavier than the current one.

And the so-called justice in her heart was not instilled by the ruling class in her era?

Thinking of this, Mingyue felt relieved.

From now on, she can decide what point of view she advocates. Being an emperor may not be a bad thing.

Just like how she deals with Hou Xixi now, she can do whatever she wants.

Feng Palace.

Zhao Mingyue strode towards Hou XiZhou's study room, and let Tuo Ze say, "The ghost king has said it, please don't disturb me, please stop the demon king"!To no avail, Zhao Mingyue suddenly opened the door.

Hou Xiri in the study unknowingly frowned and looked over.

Zhao Mingyue, who had returned from going to the Red Fox Clan, walked towards him with a look of pleading guilty.

Hou Xi and day gestured to Tuo Ze with his eyes.

Tuo Ze respectfully withdrew and closed the door of the study.

Zhao Mingyue walked straight towards Hou Xiri.

Seeing the bamboo flute he put on the table, it was the flute that she begged for back then but never got the chance to get it. I thought that Hou Xiri's so-called Do Not Disturb just now was to pay tribute to the past.

Zhao Mingyue gritted her teeth, stepped forward and grabbed the bamboo flute on the table: "Hou Xiri, what right do you have to recall the past!"

Then he broke the bamboo flute and threw it on Hou Xizhou's body, with great force, the broken bamboo flute spread out from Hou Xizhou's body, the sharp fragments scratched Hou Xizhou's cheek, and a bloodstain immediately appeared.

Hou Xizhou didn't feel pain on his face, but the sound of the bamboo flute breaking made him seem to hear the sound of his ribs breaking. He looked at Zhao Mingyue who was so angry very puzzled.

Mingyue looked at the blood on his face, and said coldly: "You killed Hu Yu, right?! How long are you going to be so self-righteous?!"
