Xu Que had already guessed that the Water Empress was not the daughter of the late Emperor. Her temperament was so special that it was impossible for her to be cultivated by a mere Water Nation.
Liu Jingning had also reminded him that the Water Empress was from the Jiang family.
Where was the Jiang family? How big was it?
Xu Que had never heard of it.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Que realized that he knew little about the Water Empress. Now that the Third Wangye mentioned it, he became interested and asked for more details.
The Third Wangye was also surprised. The Water Empress's origin?
He knew that the Water Empress was not the daughter of the late Emperor. As for where she came from and why she pretended to be the daughter of the late Emperor, the Third Wangye had no idea.
"It doesn't matter where she comes from. What matters is that I can prove that she is not the daughter of the late Emperor!" the Third Wangye said in a deep voice.
Xu Que was immediately displeased.
Prove your ass! Who the hell wants to prove it?
However, the Third Wangye continued, "Hero Zhuge, I admire you very much. I was going to look for you today, but I didn't expect that you would come looking for me! But it's not too late now. If you can join hands with me, with my current military strength and the fact that the Water Empress is not the daughter of the late Emperor, I'm sure that we will be able to succeed! At that time, I will give you whatever you want! "
"F * ck you! You don't know anything! How dare you waste my time! "Xu Que said angrily.
The Third Wangye still did not know that the news of his rebellion had spread throughout the Imperial City, and he was still trying to persuade Xu Que to rebel with him.
However, Xu Que was interested in the Water Empress's origin. Since the Third Wangye did not know about it, there was no need to keep him alive!
"How dare you! You …" The Third Wangye's eyes widened. He was a little confused after being scolded.
"F * ck you! Go to hell! "Xu Que was impatient. He picked up the sharp sword and slashed the Third Wangye's neck.
If he wanted to kill someone who deserved to die, he would not hesitate at all!
The Third Duke's expression changed. He tried to break free from the iron chains, but Buttface had kicked him in the face. He was seriously injured, and his meridians were sealed by the iron chains. He couldn't move at all.
"Stop! Don't you want to be promoted and get rich? As long as I become the Emperor, you will be able to enjoy endless treasures! "the Third Duke shouted.
Xu Que narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I don't lack treasures, I only lack Dharmic arts!"
"Of course there are magic arts. You can choose any of the magic arts in the palace!" The Third Duke shouted again, unwilling to die like this.
"Forget about those in the palace. I will talk to the Water Empress and she can still choose as she pleases. As for you, I will act first and report later!" As soon as Xu Que finished speaking, he swung his sword like a meteor, leaving a trail of blood on the Third Prince's throat.
"Isn't he just a lousy prince? How dare he rebel against my Empress!" Xu Que snorted and turned to leave.
"Uh …" The Third Duke's eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape. His eyes gradually dimmed as he lost his life.
Killing the Third Duke was not a big deal for Xu Que, but for the people in the imperial city, it was earth-shattering.
No matter what, the Third Duke was still a member of the royal family. Even if he had rebelled, a general would not have been able to kill him at will.
However, Xu Que had not only killed him, but also raided the Third Duke's Mansion.
Even the Twelfth Young Master of the imperial city could not escape. After receiving the news, he tried to escape from the imperial city. However, because of the swollen area between his legs, he could not run easily. Buttface and the Syracuse Guards caught up with him and kicked him to death.
The Twelfth Young Master had planned to catch a fugitive, but he had not expected that the Twelfth Young Master of the imperial city would be so weak that he died with one kick.
Everyone in the Imperial City was shocked once again!
"This is bad!"
"General Zhuge killed the Third Marquis first, and now his dog has also killed the Young Marquis!"
"This is almost a massacre!"
"Yes, the Twelfth Young Master of the imperial city was the last male member of the royal family. If he was killed like this, it would be a big problem!"
"When the Water Empress comes back, she will punish General Zhuge and his dog. At least one of them will be punished!"
"General Zhuge should be fine. After all, he has made great contributions. The Third Duke originally wanted to rebel. All these should be enough to make up for his mistake!"
"Then the one to be punished must be that dog!"
…
People in the imperial city were talking about it.
Buttface heard the rumors and knew that something had happened. He stole a lot of food from the imperial kitchen and ran away.
Before he left, he did not forget to accuse Xu Que of killing the Twelfth Young Master under Xu Que's orders. He would come back as soon as the imperial city could prove his innocence.
When Xu Que heard this, he shook his head speechlessly. He was too lazy to deal with that guy. He went straight back to the palace and stayed there as if nothing had happened.
During this time, Zi Xuan didn't come to talk to him. He had two days of leisure. He collected more than a hundred skill books from the Prince's Mansion and returned them to the System. After exchanging them for skill essences, he upgraded the Three Thousand Thunders Illusory Body.
The 50 magic arts had improved the proficiency of the Three Thousand Thunders Illusionary Body to 30%. But this time, the 100 magic arts had only improved the proficiency by 40%. The total proficiency was only 70%!
Xu Que could only curse the System for being a profiteer.
After all, 70% proficiency was not a small amount. With Xu Que's current cultivation level of Level 10 of the Original Infant Stage, if he were to use his illusory body, his illusory body would be able to reach the level of Level 7 of the Original Infant Stage.
…
Two days later, the Water Empress came back.
She was riding on a glittering flying sword. Because she was a god, the sword shone brightly and landed on the imperial city from the sky.
All the people and cultivators in the city bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, "Welcome back, Her Highness!"
The Water Empress smiled and waved her finger. A strand of blue light flew out and stopped some people who wanted to kneel down.
Then, she walked forward gracefully. Although it seemed that she was moving slowly, she was actually moving thousands of meters away. She was heading towards the imperial palace.
Before she arrived at the imperial palace, Zi Xuan appeared in front of the Water Empress and told her what Xu Que had done in the past few days, especially about the Third Duke.
The Water Empress shook her head and smiled. "It's okay. I already know about it."
"Sister, are we going to let it go? He killed the Third Duke and the Young Duke. People in the city are talking about it. If you don't deal with it, people will say that you are siding with him. "Zi Xuan was shocked.
Zi Xuan thought that the reputation of the Water Empress was very important. Although what Xu Que had done was not too extreme, she still wanted to punish him symbolically. Otherwise, it would be hard to shut people's mouths.
The Water Empress smiled calmly and said, "I might be able to punish others, but he … I can't!"
Then, she looked up at the imperial palace and asked, "Where is he? Is he still in the palace? "
"Of course he is. He treats the entire imperial palace as his own home." Zi Xuan pouted.
"That's okay." The Water Empress was still smiling.
"But for the past few days, he's been staying in your bedroom, Big Sister! How can that be okay? "
