Facing Nie Tian and Weng Haoxuan's questioning, Hu Xiao Li's expression turned slightly ugly. Fortunately, her face was covered by a veil and others couldn't see it clearly, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
She was impatient and said the wrong thing.
It was mainly because Weng Haorui was too stupid just now, making Nie Tian suspicious, causing Hu Xiao Li to also make a fatal mistake.
Pardon on behalf of the Emperor. Although it was just a few words, if one looked into it, it could be directly linked to treason.
The biggest difference between an empire's power and an ordinary sect's power was the difference between monarch and subjects.
A monarch was a monarch, subjects were subjects. Even if the emperor was weak and the subjects were strong, the position of the two must be master and servant, absolutely cannot be overstepped. Once the boundary was crossed, there would be a price to pay in blood.
Regarding the relationship between monarch and subjects, Nie Tian understood it better than anyone else.
In his previous life, he was the number one War God in Heaven Realm, but even so, in front of Emperor Chenyin, he still had to abide by his duties as a subject. But even so, Nie Tian, who didn't show any rebellious intent, was still schemed against by Emperor Chenyin and his daughter.
Monarchs had always been vicious and merciless.
In the struggle for the throne, father and son killed each other, it was not uncommon. If a subject said something disrespectful, it was a rebellion.
What Hu Xiao Li had just said was a blatant act of treason.
Even Weng Haorui, who was sitting next to the throne, didn't dare to say such words.
"It's just a sentence, there's no need for you two to make a fuss over it." Hu Xiao Li immediately calmed down, smiled faintly and said: "Moreover, such a small matter, of course there's no need to trouble His Majesty to personally come forward, His Highness the Crown Prince can forgive you."
Weng Haoxuan still wanted to bite, but Nie Tian beat him to it. The latter said: "Your Majesty the State Preceptor, it seems that we won't be able to see His Majesty the Great Chu today, right?"
Hu Xiao Li was the State Preceptor, but said such a serious wrong, but Weng Haorui beside her didn't have the slightest reaction. This was the strangest.
Weng Haorui was the Crown Prince, the next Great Chu Emperor, so he should have the biggest reaction to Hu Xiao Li's words of rebellion.
However, he didn't have the slightest reaction. There could only be one explanation for this. That was, in Weng Haorui's heart, Hu Xiao Li had already become the Emperor!
Moreover, another piece of information revealed by this matter was that the Emperor of the Darchu Dynasty had already been controlled by someone!
Nie Tian had heard from Gu Wuyou and Weng Haoxuan that it had been half a year since they last saw the Emperor.
In addition, the reason the Great Chu Emperor gave for retiring to the harem was also extremely laughable.
Among the first-rate empires, those who were able to ascend to the throne all had their hands stained with blood. These people were all power-hungry. How could they give up the throne and retreat to the harem?
This reason was almost absurd.
Nie Tian guessed that perhaps the Great Chu Emperor had been controlled by someone three years ago, and it was uncertain if he was still alive now.
"His Majesty is currently in seclusion." Hu Xiao Li said coldly, cutting off all hope of seeing the Emperor.
"Imperial Father is in closed-door cultivation?" Weng Haoxuan's face darkened, and he said loudly, "Why didn't I know?"
Hu Xiao Li didn't speak this time, but Weng Haorui, who was beside her, spoke.
Weng Haorui looked at Weng Haoxuan and smiled Cold. With a face full of ridicule, he said, "Xuan Prince, you're meddling too much. Why should Imperial Father tell you that he's in closed-door cultivation? It's enough for me, the regent prince, to know. As for you, you don't have the right to know! "
Weng Haoxuan's face darkened, and he suppressed all the anger in his body. He wanted to release it but didn't dare to.
The Crown Prince was right. The Emperor's closed-door cultivation didn't need to be told to him, a prince.
However, Weng Haoxuan wasn't a fool. He could obviously sense the conspiracy in this.
Nie Tian smiled faintly at this moment and said, "Since His Majesty is in closed-door cultivation, then we won't disturb him. Your Highness, Xuan Prince, let's take our leave. "
"Want to leave?" Weng Haorui saw that Nie Tian was about to leave and stood up.
But in the next moment, Hu Xiao Li glared fiercely at him.
Weng Haorui was very close to her and felt her anger. He was so scared that he quickly sat down.
"Thank you, State Preceptor, for not pursuing my mistake." Nie Tian smiled faintly and once again captured the small movements between the two perfectly. He didn't say anything else and signaled for Weng Haoxuan to leave.
"City Lord Nie Tian, this …" Weng Haoxuan clearly didn't want to leave and wanted to say something else.
Nie Tian directly transmitted his voice to him and said, "Your Highness, now is not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality with them. I think you can also see that something big has happened in the palace. Let's leave first. We can talk about other things when we return to the Imperial Residence. "
Yao Fei also nodded at Weng Haoxuan. He was an intelligent person and could guess some things with a single guess.
Weng Haoxuan nodded hatefully, and the three of them immediately walked out of the main hall.
"Teacher, why did you let them go? This is the palace. I can say that the Xuan Prince brought people to assassinate me. Just let the palace guards kill them! Also, as long as Teacher makes a move, they will definitely die … "Weng Haorui saw that the figures of Nie Tian and the others had already disappeared and immediately spoke. But before he could finish, what greeted him was a slap.
Slap! Hu Xiao Li's figure didn't move, but the slap still landed loudly on Weng Haorui's face. Two words Cold spat out, "Idiot!"
Hu Xiao Li could already see that Nie Tian, the Xuan Prince, and the others were definitely suspicious.
How could she not want to take advantage of this opportunity to take down Nie Tian? After all, Nie Tian had the power to help her open the Eye of Dusk Scar.
But the Secret Guards in the palace didn't accept her orders and only listened to the Emperor's orders. And now, the Emperor was sleeping in a coffin.
What made Hu Xiao Li even more afraid was still Yao Fei Ke.
Just the rank five spiritual array outside of Yao Fei Ke's body could guarantee that Nie Tian and the others could leave the palace unscathed.
If she made a move on Nie Tian and the others at this time, it was tantamount to directly revealing that the palace was already under her control.
"Now is not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Xuan Prince. Be careful of what you say in the future! If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of your tongue! "Hu Xiao Li didn't explain too much to Weng Haorui, this idiot, and only said Cold words.
"Yes." Weng Haorui subconsciously swallowed and his face was dripping with cold sweat. His face, which had just returned to normal, swelled with several handprints.
Hu Xiao Li glanced at Weng Haorui and said in her heart, "If it wasn't because your Soul Devouring Fungus is a soul devouring fungus that can devour other people's souls, this Seat wouldn't have accepted you as a disciple!"
Soul Devouring Fungus!
Originally, Weng Haorui's Soul Devouring Fungus was a very strange kind of Soul Devouring Fungus. It was an extremely small Soul Devouring Fungus and basically didn't have any battle strength. However, it could devour other people's souls and then control or even replace them.
"How long will it take to completely control the Emperor?" Hu Xiao Li suddenly asked.
Weng Haorui not only succeeded in replacing the Crown Prince, but the next task that Hu Xiao Li gave him was to replace the Emperor.
"His Majesty's strength is at the fifth level of the True Elemental Realm and is much stronger than the Crown Prince. It will take at least half a year for the Soul Devouring Fungus to completely devour his soul." Weng Haorui covered his small face and said in an extremely aggrieved manner.
"En." Hu Xiao Li nodded slightly and the corner of her mouth rose into a strange arc. She couldn't help but feel somewhat excited in her heart, "Half a year, in another half a year, I can completely control the Great Chu Empire. Lord Pavilion Master, Xiao Li will soon complete the task that you gave Xiao Li. I hope you don't go back on your words and return that thing to Xiao Li. "
