This was the first time Nie Tian and Hu Xiao Li met. Although they hadn't spoken yet, they were both afraid of each other.
Nie Tian was afraid of Hu Xiao Li's Scar of the Dusk Eye, while Hu Xiao Li was afraid of the power of the stars in his body.
At this moment, Weng Haorui and Weng Haoxuan became complete supporting characters. Even Yao Feike, the spirit array master, was ignored.
"Did Imperial Brother forget?" Weng Haoxuan smiled faintly. With Yao Feike by his side, he didn't panic and said, "I have the golden dragon token bestowed by Imperial Father. I can enter the palace at any time."
As he spoke, he took out a golden dragon token and waved it in front of Weng Haorui, full of provocation.
"Huh?" Weng Haorui's face immediately became gloomy. He immediately pointed at Yao Feike and Nie Tian and said, "Even if you can see His Majesty, what about the two of them? Do you know who Nie Tian behind you is? "
Weng Haoxuan didn't give way and said, "I think Imperial Brother knows better than me what kind of person City Lord Nie Tian is."
"Weng Haoxuan, what do you mean by that?" Weng Haorui couldn't sit still and jumped up.
"Nothing." Weng Haoxuan responded indifferently.
"Your Highness, your face recovered so quickly. It can't be a fake face, right? " At this time, without waiting for Weng Haorui to speak again, Nie Tian stood up and stared at him with a strange light in his eyes.
Weng Haorui's face was cut off by Nie Tian the day before yesterday, but after only two days, he was able to recover. Even a sixth-grade spirit pill might not be able to do this.
At the same time, Nie Tian had suspicions about Weng Haorui's identity. He said that the latter's face was fake, but it was actually a test.
At this moment, Nie Tian had a bold guess in his heart. Maybe the Weng Haorui in front of him was fake!
Previously, Gu Wuyou had said that although Weng Haorui's martial arts talent was mediocre, he was extremely resourceful and won the support of all parties.
Even if Weng Haorui became the Crown Prince and became arrogant, he wouldn't become so stupid.
Since Weng Haorui's face was restored to its original state in two days, why couldn't his face be fake?
Thinking of this, Nie Tian felt that it was possible.
"Nie Tian, you …" Weng Haorui's scar was provoked, and his eyes became fierce. Just as he was about to get angry, he was stopped by Hu Xiao Li, who was beside him.
Hu Xiao Li motioned for Weng Haorui to stop talking. This guy was too stupid. If she let him say a few more words to Nie Tian, he might really be exposed.
But what she didn't know was that Nie Tian already had his suspicions.
This time, Hu Xiao Li didn't look at Nie Tian. Instead, she focused her gaze on Yao Feike. When she sensed Yao Feike's strength, as well as the rank five Protective Spiritual Array that Yao Feike carried with him, she was slightly surprised.
She already knew that Weng Haoxuan's mother had a Spiritual Array Grandmaster Senior Brother, so she had already guessed Yao Feike's identity. She faintly smiled and said, "You must be the third Spiritual Array Grandmaster on the Spiritual Array Grandmaster Ranking, Mister Yao Feike, right?"
Yao Feike's expression didn't change. He faintly smiled and said, "State Preceptor's words are too serious. I don't dare."
Yao Feike's Spiritual Energy had reached an astonishing rank 65. His strength was also at the ninth level of True Element. With a glance, he could tell that Hu Xiao Li's strength was at the ninth level of True Element. Moreover, she had a faint tendency to break through to the Divine Wheel Stage. However, it seemed that she was being suppressed by some kind of power, making her unable to break through.
Yao Feike could even sense that the power that was suppressing Hu Xiao Li's breakthrough was concentrated between her eyebrows. It was an abnormally terrifying power, like a wild beast trapped in a cage. Once it rushed out of the cage, it would inevitably have an earth-shattering power.
However, Yao Feike still couldn't see that the legendary Scar of Dusk was between Hu Xiao Li's eyebrows.
Hu Xiao Li giggled. Her whole body emitted a demonic aura as she said, "Rumor has it that Grandmaster Yao Feike is indifferent to fame and fortune and hates worldly disputes. I didn't expect that he would also come to this palace hall. It really makes one curious."
Yao Feike faced the undisguised ridicule, but his face remained indifferent as he said, "I was entrusted by someone to protect the safety of His Highness, the Xuan Prince."
"Entrusted by someone?" Hu Xiao Li gave a strange smile and said, "Could it be that you were entrusted by Imperial Concubine Jing?"
Yao Feike didn't put on an act and directly said, "Since Imperial Preceptor already knows, why bother asking?"
Hu Xiao Li smiled again and said, "Could it be that Mister Yao thinks that His Highness, the Xuan Prince, will encounter any danger in the palace?"
Yao Feike replied, "It's always good to be cautious."
Although the conversation between Hu Xiao Li and Yao Feike seemed dull, the latter's answers were watertight every time. From this, it could be seen that Yao Feike wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface. He was definitely a very shrewd person.
Hu Xiao Li no longer cared about Yao Feike. In any case, she had no intention of killing Weng Haoxuan.
"City Lord Nie Tian." Hu Xiao Li looked at Nie Tian, but her tone was surprisingly calm as she said, "His Highness, the Xuan Prince, wants to see His Majesty for no reason. He must have been entrusted by you."
"That's right." Nie Tian smiled faintly and didn't deny it.
"I don't know why City Lord Nie Tian wants to see His Majesty?" Hu Xiao Li asked faintly.
"To ask for forgiveness," Nie Tian replied.
"Ask for forgiveness?" Hu Xiao Li was stunned. Clearly, she was surprised by Nie Tian's answer.
Nie Tian smiled and said, "I killed a person, broke into the Great Chu's Heavenly Prison, and caused havoc in the Crown Prince's Myriad Spring Courtyard. Shouldn't I ask for forgiveness?"
"Nie Tian, you shouldn't ask for forgiveness. You should ask for death!" Weng Haorui heard Nie Tian calmly say these things. How was this a tone of asking for forgiveness? It was clearly provoking him. He jumped up and roared angrily.
"En?" Hu Xiao Li turned around coldly and glared at Weng Haorui. The latter's expression turned cold and he actually shivered.
When Nie Tian saw this scene, he faintly smiled and said, "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is very afraid of the State Preceptor."
In front of Hu Xiao Li, Weng Haorui was completely like an obedient little sheep. This made Nie Tian feel a little strange.
It was reasonable to say that the relationship between Weng Haorui and Hu Xiao Li should be that of a monarch and a minister. But looking at the scene in front of him, the relationship between the two was completely reversed. It seemed that Hu Xiao Li was the master and Weng Haorui was her slave.
"City Lord Nie Tian must be joking." Hu Xiao Li immediately realized something and faintly smiled. "The Crown Prince is young and needs to be controlled. This Preceptor is only doing his duty as a minister."
Nie Tian nodded and smiled. He didn't say anything, but he confirmed the guess in his heart. Weng Haorui was most likely a fake Crown Prince!
Weng Haorui's real identity was probably just a chess piece of Hu Xiao Li.
As for the real Weng Haorui, he was definitely dead.
Although changing one's appearance was rare, it wasn't impossible.
Weng Haorui's face was gone, but he would be able to return to normal within two days. Changing his appearance wasn't difficult for him.
Nie Tian stared at Hu Xiao Li and said in his heart, "State Preceptor, it seems that you are brewing a big conspiracy."
At this time, Hu Xiao Li looked at Nie Tian and said, "City Lord Nie Tian, if you only want to see His Majesty to ask for forgiveness, then there is no need. This Preceptor can pardon you on behalf of His Majesty."
"Oh?" Nie Tian faintly smiled and said, "Your Excellency is only the State Preceptor of Great Chu. Do you also have the power to pardon on behalf of the Emperor?"
