Regarding the matter Xiao Ting asked, Zhaohua didn't express anything after reading it. He just nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first, and you guys are busy first."

After finishing speaking, Wei Wei blesses her lower body and turns to leave.

From the beginning to the end, he never gave Yuchi a chilling look.

Everyone: "..."

Xu Changsheng sighed and said, "You seem to have forgotten one thing."

"What?" Everyone turned their heads and looked at him puzzled.

At this moment, someone from outside came to report, and everyone couldn't leave Licheng.

After careful questioning, I found out that some people went out of the city this morning, and the city gate was wide open. As a result, those who went out turned back after a while, and it was impossible to go out because of the thick fog outside.

After many people have tried it, it is still the same.

Everyone was so nervous, everyone couldn't leave Li City, it was like being trapped here.

The soldiers guarding the city also went to try it out in person before running over to report back.

Xu Changsheng was not surprised at all, "We are trapped."

"What's going on?" Everyone was anxious, fearing that it was the weird incident from last time.

Xu Changsheng shook his head, "The whole city has been protected by a maze, and no one can enter or leave within ten years."

Obviously, he has gone around the outside world and got a general idea.

"Wang, what did the princess do?" Li Mo immediately realized.

Everyone is silent...

But at this moment, on the avenue outside Licheng, there were two men and a woman standing.

The man is handsome and extraordinary, and the woman is delicate and lovely.

It was Xiao Ting, Nine Princes, and Qian Kai.

"So, are you satisfied?"

Qian Kai started to finish the finishing touches, the tower in front of him gradually became blurred, then was hidden in a white mist, and finally disappeared completely.

The city in front of her eyes was replaced by a piece of verdant green, Xiao Ting frowned and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's fine now, are you sure those people can't open this formation?"

But she still didn't quite believe it.

Qian Yan nodded, and said confidently: "Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to open the formation and the mystery."

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Ting looked back, took Chu Li's arm, and said, "Chu Xiaoli, let's go to the imperial city!"

Chu Li nodded lightly, did not speak, but looked through the lush greenery to an unknown place.

Turn around calmly.

The three of them set off on the road together, Qian Miao was a restless master, and asked Xiao Ting curiously, "Are you really bold, are you really going to the imperial city?"

Xiao Ting raised her eyebrows, looking for trouble: "What? Are you scared?"

"My son will be afraid, so I just happened to watch the excitement."

Today, the imperial city of the empire can be described as a meeting place, because they have already released the rumor yesterday that Chu Li will show up.

Anyone who hears the news will rush over, including those people.

Because Li City is no longer the target of those people.

"That's good!"

Spirituality, witchcraft, and martial arts will come together.

Chu Li didn't talk much along the way, but occasionally looked at unknown places, and would be stunned.

Xiao Ting talked to him as much as possible, but although Chu Li had forgotten some things, she still had the same temperament as before, not good at speaking, but when she saw Xiao Ting, she would smile more.

Two months later, the people in the imperial city of the empire discovered a phenomenon.

More and more people came to the imperial city, almost within a few days, all the inns and taverns were full.

Next, even some dilapidated courtyards that no one cared about became popular and were rented out temporarily.

The entire imperial city was getting more and more lively.

"What happened? Why are there so many people rushing in all of a sudden?"

Someone asked the person next to him puzzled.

"Haven't you heard? You don't know such a big thing."

"What's the matter?" The man asked in a mysterious and intentional whisper, which attracted many people's attention.

Everyone looked over.

Seeing this, the man smiled in relief, recovered his normal voice, and said, "I heard that the Ninth Prince is coming back."

"You mean Chu Li? That disaster star."

"Yes, it is him."

"People in the world have been looking for him for a whole year without any news, why did they suddenly hear about him?"

Some people naturally didn't believe it, thinking that the news might be fake.

"What's so strange about this?" Someone retorted, "People all over the world are looking for him, as long as one person finds his trace, he will have nowhere to escape. Now it's just that he was seen in advance."

Of course there are others who disagree.

"It is said that the Ninth Prince is a disaster star, but he has never done anything harmful to nature."

"That's right. I think it may have been fabricated by someone to deliberately frame him."

Someone was curious, "You mean..."

As soon as this certain person came out, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the palace. It was obvious that there were more than one or two people who had such thoughts.

"I think it's true. A year ago, no one knew what happened in the imperial tomb. Who knows what's going on?"

Naturally, the people of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony were not allowed to watch closely, but what happened on that day has been spread out one after another, and some good people have reversed and pieced together the events at that time, and there are probably dozens of versions.

Of course, more still support today's statement.

The Ninth Prince was a disaster, and it was because of his appearance that everyone was killed, including Emperor Ren Xiao and the envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony.

Today's emperor is enthroned, with the support of the empress dowager and the evidence of the empress.

It's still a done deal.

But there is still a version that has been circulated.

And the speed is so fast that no one knows where its source is.

His statement is very simple, and it is in line with the psychology of most people.

That is, in order to seize the throne, today's son killed everyone, and then blamed it on the Ninth Prince.

Some even speculated that maybe the Ninth Prince was already dead, otherwise why the whole world couldn't find him for a year

Now there is the sudden whereabouts of the Ninth Prince, and it is even more definite news that he is already on his way to the imperial city, and he is walking the world openly, without fear at all.

This style makes many people more inclined to the second statement.

Not to mention how they discuss it

The atmosphere in the palace at this moment is also extremely tense.

The empress dowager's face was not very good-looking, and the emperor sat beside her, a little submissive.

This made the Empress Dowager even more displeased.

Qian Su and the others were still dressed in white and sat on the guest seats.

"What did you call us here for?"

"Chu Li has appeared." The Empress Dowager said bluntly.

"So what? Are you afraid of him?" Qian Su sneered.

This woman's calculation was something he had never encountered before.

In his opinion, men in this world are nothing more than that.

"Don't make sarcastic remarks here." The Empress Dowager stood up and glanced at the emperor contemptuously, "According to reliable sources, he is with the young master of the Qian Clan."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Qian Su was not surprised, obviously he already knew the news.

"I want to say that since Chu Li is on the side of the spiritualist, he is the enemy of our witch clan."

As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she suddenly frowned.

"You know, he is not afraid of any spells."

Qian Su naturally knew about such an important matter.

"Isn't he exactly what you tried to create?"

"You're right. I created him using the forbidden technique of the Wu Clan, but the current him has long been out of my control."

"That's why you asked that woman to kill him in the first place! It didn't work out."

Qian Su carefully weighed and began to deal with these things.

"It's just that the situation is not smooth." The Empress Dowager did not admit her mistake.

"Everyone has their own demons and obsessions. Chu Li is the same, Xiang Xiang is still the same, and you and I are no different."

This is what she has always believed in.

Qian Su bent her knees and stood up, shaking her head and said, "Then do you know your own demons?"

The Empress Dowager was taken aback for a moment, and then became expressionless.

Cracks gradually appeared on that perfect face.

Qian Su turned around and left without staying any longer.

"Young master, Chu Li is really a disaster, do you want me to go?"

Someone suggested that killing Chu Li cut off all possibilities, so that the Wu Clan can compete with the current Xuanmen.

Otherwise, that person will threaten them at any time.

"Qianmai dared to walk with them openly and aboveboard, presumably he got some kind of affirmation of everything, let's talk about it when they come to the imperial city."

Qian Su raised her hand to stop what they said next.

"Send someone to contact Qian Kai, I want to see him alone."

"Yes." Surprised, they looked at each other a few times, but didn't say much.

In another direction of the imperial city, the Yaochi Palace is very lively at the moment.

The owner of Yaochi Palace is Concubine Xiao.

Since Emperor Renxiao passed away a year ago and now Prince Rui ascended the throne, all the concubines left by Emperor Renxiao have been driven to this area.

Food and lodging is naturally not optional.

Only Yaochi Palace, no one has touched it.

When Xiao Lingyue heard the news that the Ninth Prince was about to return to the imperial city, she was standing at the window, pinching a flower tree with her slender fingers.

The branches are pretty and the fans have no intention of fighting for them!

Hearing this, as soon as she let go of her hand, the delicate flowers on the branches trembled, and then rustled down.

Occasionally there was a breeze, and the petals fluttered with the wind, and in the end they didn't know where they were going.

"They are finally back!"

"Ma'am!"

Xiao Lingyue looked back, she was dressed in a plain dress and her face was not colored, but it did not damage her elegance and nobility at all. She walked barefoot through the palace, came to the soft couch, and lay down on her side.

Turning his back to the person who answered, he slowly opened his mouth, "Chunyi, can your master tell me how to cooperate with me?"

"Niang Niang!" Chunyi knelt down with a plop, she was Xiao Lingyue's personal maid, and she also entered the palace with her.

But her real master is not Xiao Lingyue.

"You don't need to say anything, you just need to tell Ben Gong, what else can I do for him?"

"Master asked this servant to take the lead, Prince Rui must die!"

"Okay!" Xiao Lingyue stretched out a finger, waved it, and signaled her to go down.

Chun Yi wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything, so she could only back down.

Not long after, a woman walked out from behind the screen, also dressed in fine clothes, very young, but with evil eyes.

Especially when looking at a person, the evil spirit almost spilled into the person's heart through the corner of her mouth.

It makes people feel bottomless.
