After Wen Zeyi finished reading the contract, the scene became quiet for a while. There was only the sound of Chu Huaizhou dusting himself off.

Qingyun frowned when she heard the sound of him beating dust, "Okay, stop taking pictures. Instead of taking pictures here, it's better to go back and change another one."

Chu Huaizhou stopped and said, "It makes sense." He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wen Zeyi finally couldn't hold it in any longer, tears fell down his cheeks, and he cried silently.

What kept him alive was the boundless hatred. It was his desire for revenge.

But now someone told him that all his hatred was fake. What he thinks is justice is all false.

Then he went through all the hardships to come to Tianyuan and worked hard to survive. Everything he did was in vain.

Qingyun watched him cry, unable to comfort him.

Bai Yin clenched the sword in his hand, "It's just a contract. Who knows if it's true or not? Let's go find the person named Chu to find out."

Qingyun didn't agree with his idea, "Where did you find this contract?"

"In the inn where Dongling stayed. Wen Jinsheng, no, it was found in Chu Huaizhou's room."

Qing Xiao pushed Yan Qin'ao over, and when they saw Chu Huaizhou leaving, they came in.

Wen Zeyi had stopped crying, and his deer-like eyes were wet. The red eyes looked a bit endearing.

"Are you sure this is true?" Qingyun asked softly, for fear of disturbing him again.

Wen Zeyi nodded, "I'm sure. I've seen the scroll left by the emperor's grandfather, and the handwriting on it is the same as this one."

"I haven't heard of large-scale civilian casualties in Dongling recently."

Qingyun's words reminded everyone. If the contract is true and the Dongling royal family has not violated the contract, then why did Chu Huaizhou do this.

"Let's go find him and ask him clearly," Bai Yin said.

As soon as a few people entered the city gate, Shen Lingfei came quickly on horseback. When he saw a few people, he jumped off his horse, took three steps and two steps at a time, and came to them.

"Hurry into the palace, people from Dongling have entered the palace."

Several people looked at each other and started to rush towards the palace. We quickly arrived at the meeting hall, which was already full of people.

Emperor Yan sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of majesty. Opposing him was Chu Huaizhou.

He had changed into white clothes and was sitting leisurely on a chair. Seeing Qingyun coming, he nodded towards her.

Several people knelt down and worshiped, "Chen (Chen Daughter, Minister), see Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan glanced at the people who came over and said nothing. Several people were still kneeling and did not get up.

Qingyun saw a corpse lying in the center of the hall. About the same size as myself, boy. Qingyun's eyes flashed.

Emperor Yan sighed and said, "Get up."

Several people stood up. Qingyun approached Gu Mingrui and asked him with her eyes.

Gu Mingrui said softly: "It's exactly what we guessed before. He just found a corpse and came to ask His Majesty for guilt."

Qingyun looked at the corpse. This was not something he found casually. This corpse matched Wen Zeyi very well.

Chu Huaizhou played with his fingers and said casually: "Your Majesty, have you thought about it?"

"I have just arrived, and I don't quite understand what happened. Can the Imperial Master help me clear up my confusion?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want His Majesty to make a decision."

"What choice?".

"The little prince Dongling died of Tianyuan. Tianyuan must give an explanation."

"Why does the Imperial Master say that this is the little prince Dongling?" Qingyun gritted her teeth.

"Just because... I am the Imperial Master of Dongling. If I say he is, he is."

Chu Huaizhou looked at Qingyun with amusement in his eyes. There was no doubt in his tone.

Wen Zeyi is the only one left in the Dongling royal family, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Chu Huaizhou was the Imperial Master of Dongling, and his words were like imperial edicts.

"That's enough, just tell me what you want." Emperor Yan looked at Chu Huaizhou with a bad tone.

"Actually, it's nothing. My request is very simple. I want..."

Another gust of wind blew by, and Chu Huaizhou's words did not fall on everyone's ears. Only Emperor Yan's expression changed, his brows filled with Lingran.

He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I promise you."

Chu Huaizhou was very satisfied with Emperor Yan's answer and raised his hand to order someone to carry the body down. Qingyun looked at the corpse that was carried away with a solemn expression.

"Let's go, don't stay in the palace." Emperor Yan glanced at everyone and left with his hands behind his back.

Qingyun looked at Chu Huaizhou, who was still calm and calm, "What do you want from His Majesty?"

Chu Huaizhou chuckled and said, "I won't tell you."

Qingyun frowned and looked at Yan Qin'ao. Yan Qin'ao shook his head, his expression was not very good, and he didn't hear anything.

"Okay, my goal has been achieved, it's time to go back." Chu Huaizhou pointed at Wen Zeyi, "You, come with me."

Qingyun protected Wen Zeyi behind her, "You're not going to kill him again, are you?"

"Wen Zeyi is dead. He is just a book boy. Why is the princess not willing to give it to him?"

Qingyun was dumbfounded, not understanding what he meant. Yan Qin'ao looked at him and said, "Who are you going to hand over to Dongling?".

"Whoever wants it wants it. If you don't want it...it doesn't matter if it's destroyed."

Bai Yin couldn't understand the riddle between the two: "What do you mean? Are you going to destroy Dongling?". Looking at his eyes, it seemed that as long as Chu Huaizhou nodded, he would fight him to the death.

Qingyun pinched her eyebrows with a headache and said, "We'd better not talk about it here."

This is the palace, and everything they say will eventually reach Emperor Yan's ears. So several people moved their positions and came to the Yingbin Building.

Qingyun motioned to Wen Zeyi to take out the contract. The contract was spread out on the table so that everyone could see it clearly.

Qingyun raised her eyes and looked at Chu Huaizhou, "Explain it to me."

Chu Huaizhou glanced at it and said, "As you can see, this is the reason why the Dongling royal family needs to be exterminated."

Bai Yin wanted to speak excitedly, but was stopped by Qingyun. Wen Zeyi took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, there was determination in his eyes.

"As far as I know, my father has not done anything detrimental to the people of Dongling."

Somehow, when Chu Huaizhou looked at Wen Zeyi, he lost his mind for a moment. Qingyun knocked on the table, and Chu Huaizhou came back to his senses.

"Three years ago, there was the Tanglin Plague, causing countless casualties."

"But it was a natural disaster. My father opened the treasury, collected medicinal materials, and sent them to the disaster area overnight, saving many people."

"At first, I thought so too, and the people of Dongling thought so...".

"Isn't this the truth?"

"No, I went to the disaster area half a year ago. The place was desolate and turned into a wasteland."

"How could this happen?" Wen Zeyi couldn't believe it.

Chu Huaizhou continued: "What he sent overnight was not food and herbs, but poison and killing.

Because he believed that the most important way to stop the spread of the plague was to kill all those who had the plague. Facts have proved that he was right, the plague did not spread widely, and the city was completely slaughtered by him."
