40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao took a close look at the black scorched corpse. He still couldn't tell whether it was poisoned or was caused by some extremely overbearing technique. He sucked up the blood and spirits and frowned. Said: "Why is it poisoned, or was it planted a long time ago?"

Dongfangwang hesitated and said: "Everyone in the world knows that your majesty is being held hostage by me. I want to'hold the emperor to make the princes.' But if I say, your majesty actually trusts me very much and is worried that someone will murder him. So I played a good show with me to cover people's eyes, actually hiding in my place to seek protection, believe it or not?"

"Wow, the truth turns out to be like this, of course I believe it!"

Li Yao said, "It turns out that the Prime Minister of the East is really unselfish, dedicated to his country, and he is loyal to his majesty, pure and pure as a white lotus!"

Dongfangwang coughed: "Well, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that, but the relationship between your majesty and me is indeed not completely opposed. Many times we also have to cooperate. He will use my power to suppress the other three emperors. The Hou family, and the unstable factors in the palace-including Li Linghai!"

Li Yao said: "Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness the Queen?"

"It's not dissatisfaction, but fear!"

Dongfang Wang said, "Your Majesty has a deep fear of Li Linghai. He said that in recent decades, especially since the outbreak of the Empire's counterattack, Li Linghai has changed more and more. In many cases, he has completely become another person. People who feel terrified and can't stand still.

"Not afraid of a joke, your majesty said that he and Li Linghai have not shared a bed for 20 or 30 years. Even when they saw Li Linghai, they couldn't physically awaken a man's ability, but in other concubines, they still have the dragon spirit. Tiger Meng, the ten girls of Ye Yu are nothing to say.

"Also, your Majesty said that Li Linghai often wandered in the palace in the dead of night, sneaky and didn't know what to do. He wanted to investigate, but occasionally Li Linghai would disappear without a trace."

"and many more."

Li Yao raised his hand and said, "What does it mean to disappear without a trace?"

"No one knows exactly how Li Linghai did it. The palace is the key monitoring object of the four major electoral families. Monitoring crystals and our eyeliners are everywhere. It stands to reason that no one can make a ghost in the palace."

Dongfang watched, "However, the Imperial Palace of True Mankind was said to be built on the relics of the Xinghai Empire's palace 10,000 years ago. Although the stars have changed and the vicissitudes of life are vicissitudes of life, there are still countless secrets buried deep underground.

"When the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi built the palace, he used it as the last resistance base of the true human empire. Therefore, the underground is spread in all directions, with a large number of mazes, weapons arsenals, and fragmented world entrances, which are connected by secret passages and teleportation arrays. There are a variety of powerful defense formations and intricate organs, which can be trapped even by the Nascent Soul and even the powerhouse.

"It is said that a thousand years ago, the Black Star Great mobilized hundreds of thousands of cultivators to build the'underground palace'. Most of these cultivators were prisoners of war when the Xinghai Republic collapsed. The Black Star Great promised that as long as they built the'underground palace', even The merits and sins can be transformed into a cultivator and start a new life in the real human empire.

"Unexpectedly, after the'underground palace' was really built, the Black Star Great slayed hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the'underground palace' and refined their souls into an extremely powerful defensive array. After that, hundreds of thousands of wronged souls lingered in the depths of the palace, and the secret of the'underground palace' was only known to the princes of the past, until... the middle generations of emperors died in unfavorable lives, and no one knew the secret of the'underground palace'.

"Our four major electoral families naturally want to discover the secrets of the'underground palace', but the four of our families contain and balance each other, and no one wants another family to get the secrets first, plus the difficulty of discovering the entire underground palace is really difficult. Too high, a little carelessness, and even cause the entire Celestial Star's crust to change drastically, ecological imbalance, and the environment is so bad that it is not suitable for human survival. The consequences are so serious and there is not much benefit. The matter has been shelved.

"According to His Majesty Emperor Shenwu, Li Linghai seems to have mastered a certain method to freely shuttle through the'underground palace'. This matter is very suspicious. I naturally conducted a secret investigation. Only then did I discover the clues of the existence of the'renovationist'. The tip of the iceberg of Li Linghai's ambition.

"But at that time I still didn't expect Li Linghai's plot to be so big, and the methods so meticulous and vicious, I thought she was just the kind of woman who had emerged in an endless stream in the past five hundred years and messed up the court.

"So, I only deployed conventional means to keep her dying of illness and maintain the decency of the empire, but in fact I arrested her secretly and slowly concocted and tortured her, asking her the secret of the'underground palace'.

"As for your Majesty, since he came to seek my protection, I was naturally disrespectful of my'self-inflicted snare.

"I have no ill will to your Majesty, but he was dazzled by the continual victories of the Empire's counterattack. The whole person was swollen and gave birth to ambitions that he couldn't afford. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, I naturally have the obligation to beat him hard. , Let him calm down, recognize the reality clearly, and don't be used by people with ulterior motives.

"Unexpectedly, the secret arrest of Li Linghai did not go smoothly. All he caught was a stand-in. The real Li Linghai has long since escaped.

"In desperation, we can only poison this double, and want to announce that the Queen has passed away, and use this method to minimize Li Linghai's threat-who would have thought that she was far underestimated.

"Since your Majesty accepted my protection, he has always been doing well, but the'cannibalism event' and the'blood alliance event' broke out one after another. I was caught off guard, and when I was in trouble, I had no warning in just half an hour. Within it, all the liquid in the whole body had evaporated, and it became like this, not even a ray of remnant soul was left behind.

"At that time, there were several doctors and meditation masters accompanied by your Majesty’s side. They immediately rescued them. They injected hundreds of medical drugs into His Majesty’s body, but to no avail. His Majesty’s body was like a tiny black hole. Put him alive... sucked it up!

"No sooner or later, just when I was in the most difficult time, your Majesty died so strangely. He made it clear that someone was going to frame me and drive me to death, and he wanted me to carry this black pot on my back! Indeed, your Majesty died in my hands. , I can’t say clearly all over my mouth, let alone tell anyone, I can only wait to die!

"This, such an interlocking conspiracy, such a vicious potion, was not done by Li Linghai, who else would?"

"but--"

Li Yao said, "Why did your Royal Highness do this, why did you want to kill the king and kill her husband?"

"Perhaps His Majesty knew her too many secrets, and she was even thinking about abolishing the queen before she started to be strong; or maybe she just wanted the four major electors' families, and even the entire empire was in chaos!"

Dongfang Wang said, "You just said that as long as the Dongfang family cedes a lot of benefits, and then welcomes His Majesty Emperor Shenwu, the four major electoral families and the reformers can still maintain a bare balance. Perhaps this scene is not what Li Linghai wants. Seeing, she just wants to make the empire into chaos?

"His Majesty Shenwu has been in power for sixty years. Among all the empires, he has been in power for a long time. He can safely be the emperor for sixty years. Naturally, because the four major electors’ families have relatively more current interests. Satisfaction, there is no need to push it all over again.

"Because of this, plus the focus of the empire in the past two decades has been on war, and it has not even established a prince.

"Originally, our four major electors thought that after this war is over, when the interests of post-war reconstruction are divided, we will consider the establishment of a prince and consider the prince as a transaction condition.

"The current situation is so critical. With such a death, your Majesty immediately pushed the four major electoral families and the reformers to the forefront.

"For the reformers, your slogan is'respect the emperor to seek rebellion, and reform with Shenwu.' Now even the Emperor Shenwu himself has been murdered by the'rebels'. You will never let go of the culprit, or even bring harm to the nine races. , The Dongfang family will be completely wiped out to maintain your righteousness, right?

"For the Eastern family, many collateral branches can come out to clean up the mess. As long as I sacrifice this branch, it is possible to keep the family indestructible, but if such a bad thing happens, everything becomes unknown, maybe The remaining strength of the Dongfang family is going to jump the wall in a hurry, and fight to the death!

"For the other three electorate families, they naturally have their own opinions on the selection of the prince, and they must support their own interest spokespersons.

"Now we are facing a major change in the empire that has not been seen in a thousand years. Regardless of whether the frontline or the rear, the interests in all fields are being reshuffled. Whose puppet can become the emperor can naturally occupy a great advantage, and even replace the Eastern family and become a new one. The'first family'!

"Therefore, the candidates of the new emperor will inevitably be beaten up in the fight, and they must not deal with each other!

"Li Linghai is so insidious, there must be a back-up. As long as she makes a little trick, she is afraid that the three major electoral families will not fight and become a mess?"

Although a little incoherent, Dongfang Wang, in terms of computing power, restored the level of the empire's leader, and analyzed the whole thing clearly.

It was also heard that Li Yao was sweating, and his heart was chilling.

"I still can't figure it out."

Li Yao murmured, "The empire is in chaos, what good is it for the Queen?"

"I don't know how the empire is in chaos, what good will it do to Li Linghai."

Dongfangwang gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "I only know that if the empire is calm and the waves are calm and you can pass the transition period of power safely, then Li Linghai will always be just a small queen. The more time goes by, the less likely she will be to set off. The slightest wind and waves will eventually annihilate in the stardust in obscurity!

"She has done so many things deliberately, she will never be willing to be annihilated like this, she will never!"
