The villain's pet apprentice sister is not to be trifled with

After the three brothers of Tianqian Sect reunited, they were all very happy.

Despite Gu Yubai's resistance, Shen Yewei and Dian Zan insisted on hugging their senior brother to celebrate the reunion.

Si Qingyu took the time to ask about the whereabouts of the fourth and fifth elders of the Tiangan Sect.

Gu Yubai said, "Probably in the military camp. We can send a message to them when needed."

Si Qingyu: "The military camp is good, then it's settled."

So, a main player joined their team.

Nangong Chiyang followed Nangong Zhurong.

Gu Yubai continued to stay in the palace, disguised as an ordinary guard who didn't know magic.

Sometimes he would grow up in a sneaky way, wandering around invisibly, recording more secrets of the palace in the form of stone carvings.

Gu Yubai kept Si Qingyu's instructions in mind, and took the measure of admiring Yue Wanying from afar but not touching her.

If Yue Wanying takes the initiative to tease him, he should treat her as a noble concubine as before and try to play the game of playing refusal but also welcoming.

Si Qingyu, Shen Yewei and Dian Zan are responsible for the prime minister, as well as all the officials who have dealings with the prime minister's mansion, their residences, their families, etc.

Following the clues, they were able to roughly figure out the connections between several intertwined conspiracies.

Probably because the prime minister had been second only to the emperor for too long, he had grown greedy and was unwilling to submit to the emperor. He wanted to dethrone the emperor, so he joined forces with the Imperial Observatory to set a trap for the emperor.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that the emperor would face a life-and-death disaster this year. His health would gradually deteriorate, and he could use human blood as medicine to save himself and prolong his life.

The emperor took advantage of the situation and pretended to believe the prime minister.

So the prime minister recommended himself and was willing to work for the emperor, and the emperor tacitly agreed that the prime minister secretly helped him arrest people.

The prime minister handed over the people he captured to the emperor's trusted commander of the imperial guards.

The emperor took the captured people into custody and did not actually use their blood for medicine. Instead, he properly placed them in a secret place.

The emperor was waiting for an opportunity to wipe out the prime minister's party in one fell swoop and then let these people return home.

Because the emperor personally came forward and made promises to the captured people, these people had ample food, clothing and other necessities except for restrictions on their movements, so naturally nothing went wrong.

Until the last six months.

The prime minister sent his men to secretly arrest people, but the captured people often escaped, were seriously injured, or died.

As a result, the news that the emperor used living people as medicine gradually spread among the people and became more and more serious.

The girl from Zhaojia Village that Nangong Chiyang and Si Qingyu met that day had escaped from a Taoist temple.

The girl knew very well that the emperor wanted to capture her and use her to make medicine.

This is very strange.

Those in power value their protection the most, and these dirty matters are left to their subordinates.

How could the victim be told the real culprit behind the incident?

Unless someone did it on purpose.

And this person's intention was very obvious, which was to discredit the emperor and let the people know that their lives were suffering.

Obviously, Ming Fei is the Prime Minister, and his spy in the palace is Concubine Yue.

Concubine Yue was responsible for feeding medicine to the emperor, closely observing the emperor's physical condition, and also contributed herself to colluding with the prime minister's party as a handle to control these people.

The prime minister has made no secret of his conspiracy. He wants the emperor's death to be accepted by everyone so that the new emperor can succeed to the throne smoothly.

Si Qingyu stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days and found that he had been looking at the list of the emperor's offspring in his study.

It is obvious that although this man is ambitious, he values ​​his reputation very much and is unwilling to overthrow the Nangong royal family and replace it, which would be criticized by future generations.

He was planning to choose another puppet under his control from the Nangong family to succeed him.

Nangong Zhurong has a bit of a brain, but it's hard to manipulate it, so he has been hesitating.

The emperor's youngest prince has just turned one month old, and there are three other princes who are less than five years old. Their mothers all come from prominent families and can also be used as alternatives.

The prime minister made many preparations and was very thoughtful.

He even wrote a secret letter to the queen and asked his confidant to deliver it to the palace. The words were full of concern and concern, and the words frequently revealed his nostalgia for the romantic time they had when they were young.

Si Qingyu has been on the spot for such a long time and has obtained a lot of useful information, and he often expresses various feelings.

Damn, the emperor is really fertile!

It turns out that the queen really had a first love, and that was the prime minister!

The Prime Minister’s current achievements are closely related to the support of the Queen’s mother’s family.

In the letter to the Queen, the Prime Minister promised that as long as the Queen stood on his side, she would be the Queen Mother as soon as the Emperor died.

He would arrange for the Queen Mother to leave the palace to rest and observe mourning, so that they could finally get married and live together happily ever after.

Of course, they were indeed in love with each other in the past, and it is hard to say how much sincerity they still have in their feelings for each other now.

And with the arrival of Nangong Chiyang, the situation seems to become even more tense.

The prime minister increased the dose of poison in the pills he gave to the emperor, and at the same time, arranged for a killer to assassinate Nangong Chiyang.

Since Nangong Chiyang moved into Prince Lin's Mansion, he has gone out five times and encountered more than ten waves of assassinations.

When this matter was mentioned, Steward Li and the palace maid sent by the emperor were very angry.

Every time, His Highness goes out alone.

That Miss Yu and her two male favorites stayed in the house, enjoying themselves, without even trying to protect the crown prince.

What made the butler happy was that with the protection of the imperial guards and the swordsmen and archers sent by the Emperor, all the assassins in ambush were shot to death by the archers who never missed their targets, or had their throats cut by the swordsmen. No one survived.

Nangong Chiyang, Si Qingyu and the three brothers of Tianqian Sect dealt with all the killers, concealed their breath, tracked the whereabouts of several waves of teams that were secretly protecting them, and finally summarized the whereabouts.

Some of the killers were sent by the prime minister, the crown prince, and several princes who were conferred the title of king.

The protection teams included those sent by the emperor and those sent by the empress and her Dongfang family.

In the past, Nangong Chiyang was weak and powerless. Even if he had his own confidants, they were all given by the emperor and the empress, and the information network was very incomplete.

This time it’s different, his helpers all come from the world of cultivation.

It was clear from the photo stone that Gu Yubai and Shen Yewei brought back that his father and mother were secretly protecting him when he didn't know.

Nangong Chiyang couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but now that things had come to this, he was relieved.

No complaints, but still have thoughts.

Since the Prime Minister wanted to harm his father, the Emperor, and his mother, he would naturally not sit idly by.

Nangong Chiyang solemnly bowed to the three fellow disciples of Tianqian Sect, "I hope you can help me to quell the chaos in Lieyan Country and bring peace to the world and the people."

Gu Yubai used to think that Nangong Chiyang was a cold swordsman. He had been in the palace for more than half a year and met many royal nobles, but he felt that Nangong Chiyang at this moment had the most imperial aura.

Gu Yubai was staring at Nangong Chiyang in a daze again, and that look made the other three people present feel that something was not good...
