"Do you know who poisoned you?"
Li Mu stared at Xia Jing.
Xia Jing smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I told you I poisoned you?"
Li Mu looked at the beautiful face in front of him and really couldn't figure out what was going on in this woman's mind.
His current status was that of one of the most favored people under the new Emperor, the loyal dog of the new Emperor. Yet, she used such words to tease him. Was she really not worried at all that he would capture her and torture her?
"How dare she say such words at this time?"
Li Mu weighed in his mind whether to directly suppress and capture this woman.
"Young Master Mu, I know your identity is not as simple as it seems." Xia Jing looked at Li Mu and suddenly became serious. She said, "Why don't you give it a try? Maybe we have the same purpose."
Li Mu burst into laughter.
"Testing me in this way?"
He looked at Xia Jing, and his eyes suddenly became extremely fierce.
"It's a very foolish method. I've already said that your methods are useless against me. Seeing that we're both working for His Majesty, I won't pursue the matter this time. However, if you dare to speak such nonsense in front of me again, you can give it a try. Let's see if my sword is harder or if your neck is harder."
After that, Li Mu turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
This time, Xia Jing didn't follow him.
Because she sensed a trace of a terrible aura from Li Mu's expression.
That aura told her that if she pestered him again this time, Li Mu would not show any mercy to her.
"You are so vigilant."
She rubbed her temples.
"Humph, a cold-hearted man … But, hee hee, no matter who you are, I will definitely dig out your real identity."
"I really want to know what kind of identity a person like you has on earth."
Xia Jing smiled as she thought about it.
Her smile was as bright as the summer sun.
Some passers-by were directly stunned by such a stunning beauty.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
"In just two days, you've only found out such insignificant things for me?"
In the imperial palace.
The new emperor's angry rebuke echoed.
Xiao Xiao knelt down, trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, I have found some clues. Two hours before Wei Rulong was killed, he had a private date with a woman. The poison that he was poisoned might have something to do with this woman. However, this woman's identity is extremely mysterious. Even now, there are no clues."
"At the same time, Wei Rulong is lustful. These few days, he has kidnapped many women in the imperial city, and has offended many people. It is hard to say that these people are not the ones who tried to assassinate him. Therefore, I cannot capture anyone who has had a conflict with Wei Rulong and interrogate them. However, there are no clues …"
"As for the poison of the [Black Jade Crown], there is not a single bit of it missing from the medicine vault of the Imperial family. In the past year, the only people who have the right to take the [Black Jade Crown] from the medicine vault are the Third Prince and the First Prince. The Third Prince is already dead, so the only suspicious person is the First Prince."
"However, I do not have enough evidence to prove that the poisoning has anything to do with the First Prince."
"However, in my opinion, the Dongxuan Immortal Sect may not care who killed Wei Rulong. Wei Ruhu and his eldest brother did not have a harmonious relationship. What they care more about is a way to get out of this embarrassing situation, and to give the others in the sect an explanation. Therefore …"
At this point, Xiao Xiao didn't continue.
He was good at playing with people's hearts and plotting.
However, when it came to investigating a case, he was far from it.
Moreover, even a divine detective might not be able to find out such a thing in three days.
Therefore, he preferred to end the case in the way he was best at.
Didn't the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and the Solitary Sword Sect want an explanation?
Giving them an 'explanation' would be enough.
Xiao Xiao felt that His Majesty would definitely agree to this plan.
Not only could he avoid the wrath of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and the Solitary Sword Sect, he could also conveniently get rid of the First Prince. Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
There was silence in the imperial palace.
After an unknown period of time.
"Good. Do as you said. Don't let me down this time. "The voice of the new emperor sounded faintly, like a ghost echoing in the darkness.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and left.
The eighth prince in the past and the current emperor were the same person, but they gave him a very different feeling. Being in the emperor's company was like being with a tiger. For the first time, Xiao Xiao truly understood the meaning of this saying.
Li Mu and the new emperor were the only two people left in the imperial palace.
Silence.
At this time, the imperial palace was silent.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.
The new Emperor let out a long sigh and slowly asked, "Commander Mu, do you feel that this Emperor's actions are despicable, as if I've become a different person?"
Li Mu said, "Those who achieve great things don't bother about trifles."
The new emperor sighed again and said, "Are you comforting me?"
Li Mu said, "That's exactly what I think."
The new emperor said no more.
Li Mu paused and then said, "Your Majesty, you seem to be dispirited."
The new Emperor sighed and said, "Now that I've sat on the throne that I've always dreamed of, I know how terrifying it is. Too many people are watching me, both inside and outside the court. It's only been four days since I've ascended to the throne. Other than the first night when I was able to rest, I haven't been able to sleep since. This feeling is even worse than when I was just a prince."
Li Mu secretly cursed the emperor for being pretentious.
Back then, he was like a dog fawning over a dog. Now, he got what he wanted.
"Your Majesty, I remember that your original ambition was to conquer the world and make the Extreme Emperor Cliff the number one force in the Moon River Prefecture. Now, it's just the beginning. Why are you so depressed?"
He decided to give the new emperor some encouragement.
"Now, there are many things to do in the Extreme Emperor Cliff. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so you naturally feel overwhelmed. When you get used to it, you won't feel that way. The most important thing right now is to use thunderous means to exterminate all the disobedient and unstable factors in the court. Therefore, Lord Xiao Xiao's suggestion is actually very useful to His Majesty. Moreover, it seems that Lord Xiao Xiao is willing to take on this dishonorable task. He is loyal to His Majesty. "
Li Mu secretly put in a few good words for Xiao Xiao.
The new emperor chuckled. "You're such a simple-minded person. All you care about is cultivation. You place too much importance on relationships and loyalty. You think everyone is good to you. On the surface, Xiao Xiao doesn't seem to care much for you. Back then, he urged me to recruit you, and even offered some strategies. Over the years, he's done a lot of things for me. His loyalty to me isn't fake, but he has his own selfish motives …. Forget it. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Li Mu almost died of laughter.
"I only have a little advantage, but you found all of them."
"Yes, I am simple-minded and loyal."
"Hahaha."
"Your Majesty, I just think that Your Majesty should work hard and fight against the heavens. The messengers of the Solitary Sword Sect and the Dongxuan Immortal Sect dared to be so arrogant in the imperial city of the Extreme Emperor Cliff. They pointed at Your Majesty's nose and questioned him. I can't stand it anymore. One day, when the army of the Extreme Emperor Cliff tramples the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and becomes the number one force in the Yuechuan Prefecture, they will not dare to be arrogant to Your Majesty. "
"In my hometown, there is a saying that only when you are strong enough will others not dare to turn the table while you're picking up food. I believe that is exactly what Your Majesty's goal is. One day, you will lead the Solitary Sword Sect to brew wine for Mount Dong Xuan. When that time comes, forget about the deaths of a few emissaries, even if the Sect Leaders of two great Immortal Sects are trampled underfoot, who would dare to say half a word? In this way, you will live up to your manhood. In the immortal world, if you are like Your Majesty, you will be dispirited by the slightest dissatisfaction. How can you achieve great things? "
"Forgive me for offending Your Majesty, but what I said is true. If there is a day when Your Majesty's army goes to war, I am willing to be Your Majesty's vanguard. I will never retreat on the long journey."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
What do you think?
The new emperor's expression changed dramatically.
At this moment, he could even feel Mu Mu's lofty aspiration. It was like a blazing flame, blowing against his face. The scorching aura made him feel as if his entire body had been set ablaze in an instant.
That's right, why hesitate?
The path of immortality was originally a struggle against the heavens and fate.
He already had such a foundation and stood at the top of a great force. How could he be dispirited and want to retreat to protect his foundation?
In comparison, Mu Mu's vision and vision were so high that it was terrifying.
Perhaps this was the reason why his strength was so strong and unfathomable?
This person seemed to be radiating light from his whole body.
In comparison, Xiao Xiao's methods could only be regarded as sneaky. He liked to play tricks under the table, but he would never be able to show it.
Only a person like Mu Mu, who was shining all over, was suitable to stand by his side and witness his conquest and greatness along the way.
And Xiao Xiao?
Perhaps it was really time to consider how to use him.
Now that he had become the new emperor, he could no longer use his previous methods.
The situation had changed.
The person he relied on also needed to change.
At this moment, the new emperor gradually made up his mind.
"Commander Mu, send an order to the Red Maple Palace. You will come with me to visit the messenger of the Donghuang Divine Dynasty," said the new emperor.
Among the three major forces of the Yuechuan Mansion, the Demon Refining Pavilion, the Xuanjian Clan, and the Yuechuan Mansion, the Donghuang Divine Dynasty was also a force with a court system. Therefore, it had a natural relationship with the Emperor Cliff. For so many years, the Donghuang Divine Dynasty was also one of the backings of the Emperor Cliff.
He decided to visit the messenger of the Donghuang Divine Dynasty.
Before doing anything big, he must win the support of the Donghuang Divine Dynasty.
There were some things that needed to be discussed properly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Mu said.
That night, no one knew what the new emperor and the messenger of the Donghuang Divine Dynasty talked about.
Li Mu also didn't know.
He only saw the new emperor walk out of the Red Maple Palace with a happy and high-spirited face. He knew that the discussion was probably successful.
The next day.
Wei Ruhu set the last day to solve the case.
Xiao Xiao, the Left Deputy Prime Minister of the Emperor Cliff, miraculously solved the case. He found out that the mastermind behind the assassination of Wei Rulong of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect was actually the First Prince of the Emperor Cliff. He was not reconciled to losing the throne, so he tried to sow discord between the Emperor Cliff and the great Immortal Sect, so that he could kill the new emperor with a borrowed knife.
The new emperor was furious.
In the name of justice, the head of the First Prince was directly sent to the hands of Wei Ruhu of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.
