I was imprisoned by the Empress at the beginning, and I was secretly invincible

Although the Imperial Observatory was just a government office, it was a formal department directly under the imperial court, and its rank was relatively high. The director of the Imperial Observatory served the emperor and the royal family directly. Now that the Imperial Observatory was brutally exterminated and nearly a hundred people died, it naturally caused quite a stir. Such a shocking case actually happened in the imperial capital, and it happened right under the nose of the imperial court, which was really unbelievable. Soon, the Imperial Observatory was blocked by the army, and it was surrounded inside and outside. Jinyiwei, Shenbusi, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and many other criminal departments sent elite personnel to set up a special task force to investigate the case. Even the female emperor Ji Luoyao personally brought people to the Imperial Observatory after leaving the court. "Is this the director of the Imperial Observatory?" Ji Luoyao stared at a corpse on the ground, then raised her head and asked coldly with a blank expression. As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent, and no one dared to answer.

It was not because the death of the director of the Imperial Observatory was so tragic, nor was it because his cause of death was so bizarre, but because his image at this moment was very different from the past.

Whether it was the black hair, the ferocious fangs, or the sharp nails, the weird and fierce eyes...

Without anything to cover them, these features were too conspicuous.

All of them showed that the true identity of this director was not a pure human at all, but a half-demon with demon blood!

A half-demon with demon blood actually successfully infiltrated the Great Zhou court and became the director of the Imperial Observatory.

This matter was simply ridiculous, much more serious than the tragic extermination of the Imperial Observatory!

"Who recommended him to become the director of the Imperial Observatory?"

Ji Luoyao gritted her teeth and asked.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had always been on high alert against the demons. Once they were discovered, they would either be captured or executed.

And now, a half-demon had successfully infiltrated the court, and even became a high-ranking official in the court, and even often met with the emperor.

That's right, it was Ji Luoyao herself who had repeatedly met with the director of the Imperial Observatory, but was also kept in the dark.

Think about the last time, she actually ordered the whole city to search for the so-called human emperor body under the guidance of the other party.

At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt whether there was a human emperor body.

If there was no human emperor body at all, and everything was a lie woven by the other party, then she ignored the advice of the ministers and insisted on reducing the vassal state, wouldn't it be a joke?

At this moment, Ji Luoyao felt flustered. She felt that she was indeed a joke, and was fooled around by a half-demon without knowing it.

The shame and anger in her heart burned like a flame, and she couldn't suppress it at all.

At this moment, she wanted to grind the corpse in front of her into ashes.

But even so, it was hard to eliminate her hatred.

After all, the guy in front of her was dead.

"He died like this, it's too easy for him!!!"

She could only stare coldly at everyone present. She wanted to know who recommended this half-demon to become the director of the Imperial Observatory.

She must make the other party pay the price!

Silence for a long time.

No one answered.

In the end, it was the commander of the Jinyiwei, Cao Shaobing, who raised his head and said helplessly: "It seems that the late emperor personally appointed him as the director of the Imperial Observatory."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Luoyao's eyes widened, and she almost couldn't breathe, and her face flushed.

As the empress of the Great Zhou, she could make trouble for anyone.

But facing the late emperor, her father, who had died, she obviously had no way to deal with it.

The real owner was dead.

The person who recommended him happened to be her father, who was also dead.

What else could she say.

No matter how aggrieved they were, they could only swallow their anger.

"What about these corpses?"

Ji Luoyao quickly turned to look at the other corpses. As the vitality dissipated and could not be suppressed, each corpse had obvious characteristics of the demon clan, which made her furious.

"Who can tell me when the Imperial Observatory of the court became a demon clan stronghold? No one has discovered it in all these years!"

Everyone was speechless and could only bow their heads again.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. This is the intelligence information we found in the underground secret room. Please take a look."

Cao Shaobing held a volume in both hands and carefully presented it to the empress.

Ji Luoyao glanced at him coldly, then took it and flipped through it.

However, as she looked at it, she couldn't help frowning, and her face became more and more ugly.

Although Tao Gongwang and Ying Yao were ruthless and destroyed the Imperial Observatory in a short time, theyAfter all, they are not professionals.

On the other hand, after Cao Shaobing and other professionals came over, they searched and quickly found the secret information hidden by the Imperial Observatory.

However, these secret information have nothing to do with Jiang Hao, nor are they about the human emperor body, but various confidential information of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Especially the dense records of the distribution of troops and food in the eastern states and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even in the major city fortresses, are shocking.

A mere half-demon secretly collected these information, definitely not for himself.

Since it is not for himself, there is only one possibility, it must be for the forces behind him.

At this time, there is no need to guess, because there are letters of private communication between the Supervisor and the Demon God Empire.

And there are more than a dozen of these letters, which shows that the contact between the two sides has been a matter of one or two days.

Especially seeing the promise of the Demon God Empire to the half-demon Supervisor, if the Demon God Empire enters the Central Plains in the future, he will be named the National Master, Ji Luoyao was even more furious.

"I thought it was the atrocities of some extremely vicious person, but now it seems that this is clearly the work of a chivalrous and brave patriot. If it weren't for this hero, I wouldn't have known that there was such a big borer hidden in the court!"

Ji Luoyao gritted her teeth and said.

This time she gained a lot, but she was not happy.

The Great Zhou was already in internal and external troubles, and the situation on all sides was precarious.

If the Demon God Empire showed its fangs again at this time and took advantage of the fire.

Then it would definitely be a disaster for the Great Zhou.

Thinking of this, even with her temperament, she couldn't help but worry.

She was not in the mood to ask about this shocking case anymore, so she handed the matter over to Cao Shaobing and others, letting them handle it as appropriate, and then she hurried back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, she immediately sent someone to summon the old minister.

Although the old minister was upright, when it really came to something, Ji Luoyao really didn't know who to trust except this old minister of three dynasties.

When the old minister arrived at the palace, Ji Luoyao did not say anything more, and directly handed over the intelligence information, and then roughly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Knowing that it was related to the Demon God Empire, the old minister's face instantly became solemn.

Although the situation in the Great Zhou is unstable at present, whether it is the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Taiping Dao or even the Jiangnan Uprising, it is ultimately just a minor problem. As long as the court is steady and cautious, there is still hope to solve them one by one.

But if the Demon God Empire invades in large numbers at this time, the situation will be very different.

The Demon God Empire is a behemoth with a comprehensive strength no less than that of the Great Zhou. Once it raises troops to invade, the hand must be large. The Great Zhou can only go all out to cope with it.

"Therefore, before that, it is necessary to resolve the domestic unrest as soon as possible, and then deal with the possible invasion of the Demon God Empire wholeheartedly, otherwise, the situation is likely to be out of control!"

The old minister said with a solemn face.

"I also want to solve the domestic unrest as soon as possible, but the question is, how to solve it?"

Ji Luoyao asked with a grim face.

The old minister was also helpless.

If there was a way, he would not be standing here now.

After hesitating for a while, the old minister couldn't help but say: "I know your majesty doesn't like to hear it, but I still say that, looking at the world, only one person can turn the tide."

Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at the empress, and then suggested sincerely:

"How about...your majesty, you bow your head and admit your mistakes to him?"
