C115

On the morning of the next day, Qiao Qiao still got up early to dress up. After which, he excitedly rode the carriage toward the Hall of Golden Chimes.

Along the way, there were naturally quite a few palace guards whispering about what had happened last night.

"Hey, do you know? I was guarding the entrance of the throne room last night, and in the end, I saw Lord Mu, the Regent's personal secret guard. "

"That's right, that's right. I also saw Lord Yan Mu in front of the throne room."

"The Emperor is so close to the Regent that it isn't strange for him to see Lord Yan Mu in the throne room." Someone said in a nonchalant manner.

"What do you know? We saw Lord Yan Mu standing alone at the entrance of the throne room as he chattered endlessly, as if he was talking about something …" "Then the matter of the Sun Devil Palace attacking the imperial palace."

"That's right, that's right. I heard it too. I've even said it more than once. Every time I patrol around, he will grumble."

"Ah?" "It's actually like this? Could it be that Lord Yan Mu was scared silly by the attack from the Sun Devil Palace?"

"If that's really the case, won't the Regent return …"

"Alright, alright, stop talking, the emperor's footwork is coming." One of them reminded him, causing the guards at the entrance of the throne room to shut their mouths. However, all this had long since entered Qiao Qiao's ears.

Qiao Qiao continued to smile. This was the result that she wanted. If it was like this, Yan Mu probably wouldn't dare enter the palace to spy on her for Yan Mo Chen in the near future.

Qingwu stood behind Qiao once more and naturally heard the discussion of the group of guards. If she hadn't come to the throne room last night to investigate and personally saw Yan Mu chattering away like a devil, it would be really hard for her to believe that the usually icy Yan Mu would be so crazy.

She looked at Qiao Qiao with suspicion. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, Yan Mu and he …"

"Those who have done wrong must naturally be punished." Qiao Qiao's tone was as indifferent as before. He had long guessed what Qingwu was thinking and directly replied.

"Did Yan Mu make a mistake?" Qingwu was still puzzled, if she said that Yan Mu was normally so silent, would he make a mistake?

"Of course. After the massacre at the Devil Palace, I specially instructed him not to inform Yan Mo Chen about this matter for the time being, but …" Joe paused, and then said, "He dares to disobey my decree."

Since this was the case, she could understand why the Regent had suddenly returned to the Imperial Palace for a moment before finishing her business in Python County. It turned out that the Emperor was worried for the safety of the Emperor, but in his heart, the Emperor was unexpectedly very important. For a moment, she was brimming with joy, completely forgetting that her original intention was to ask Yan Mu why he had been punished.

Qiao Qiao's steps were still gradually entering the throne room, the courtesies of the officials interrupted Qingwu's thoughts.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. May the Emperor live for tens of thousands of years."

Qiao Qiao was still slowly pacing and standing in the middle of the hall. He slightly raised his hand and parted his lips: "Everyone, please rise." And then, he bent his knees and sat down.

"Do you have a piece to play today?" Qiao Qiao still frowned slightly, and a dignified voice resounded throughout the entire throne room.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has an important piece to play." Vice Minister Liu bowed and said respectfully to Qiao Qiao, "Yes. Although the extermination of the Demon Palace punished the accomplice, Prime Minister Luo, the Demon Palace was the main culprit. I wonder what His Majesty plans to do about the extermination of the Demon Palace?"

Qiao still raised his eyebrows. Naturally, the Devil's Palace would be eliminated sooner or later, but He Huan You … She shook her head, conflicted. Now that the two of them had become enemies, they still had to face what they had to face.

"As for the matter of exterminating the Demon Palace, I think we should discuss it after the Regent returns." This matter, she had to wait until Yan Mo Chen finished dealing with the python mine before she could discuss and plan with him. If she was alone, it would be extremely difficult for her to fight against the Demon Palace.

If we wait for him to return, it will take at least ten days. In these ten days, if the Demon Palace is reorganized and is on guard, I'm afraid that ten days later, their morale will be high and we won't be able to control the chances of victory anymore. " Vice Minister Liu wrinkled his face, expressing that Qiao Qiao's words were inappropriate.

"Half of the military medallion is in the hands of the Regent. Now that he is not around, who would be willing to dispatch these guards?" The country of Qiao's token was originally split in half, with Yan Mo Chen in half and Prime Minister Luo in half. Now that Prime Minister Luo was out of the picture, the token naturally fell into Qiao's hands, but the other half was still in Yan Mo Chen's. This was the key reason why Qiao was unable to send out the troops time and time again.

"Do we still need to mobilize all the troops of Qiao Country in such a hodgepodge like the Devil Palace?" Vice Minister Liu had clearly underestimated his opponent.

However, that day, when the Sun Devil Palace had been massacred by the imperial guards, although the imperial guards were caught unprepared, but based on martial arts alone, the imperial guards were completely unable to defend against them. On the other hand, the members of the Devil Palace were exceptionally skilled in martial arts.

Moreover, your skills can be considered the best in the martial arts world. Twenty years ago, the Demon Palace massacred the entire Yan family, and a few months ago, they massacred the entire Xi Family. They even broke into the palace, catching my minister off guard, and killed him with extremely poisonous and vicious methods, to the point where even the elderly and children were unwilling to let them off. If that's really the case, then not to mention whether we win or lose, even the many guards that I want to lose, I will not be able to bear it. Qiao Qiao was still heartbroken. Indeed, if it was a battle with the Demon Palace, even if it was a loss to Qiao Guo and her soldiers, Qiao Qiao's heart would still ache.

"But, how can we exterminate the Devil's Palace without losing a single soldier?" Vice Minister Liu clearly agreed with Qiao Qiao's words, but he still asked with worry.

"If I let the Demon Palace have no foothold in the martial arts world, wouldn't I be able to get rid of the people from the Demon Palace with just my soldiers? Wasn't the palace completely destroyed? Joe continued to smile. The scheme was slowly taking root in her heart, but she still needed some time.

"How can the Demon Palace not have a foothold in the martial arts world? The Emperor also said that the Demon Palace has flourished for a hundred years." Vice Minister Liu began to doubt Qiao Qiao's words.

"The most prosperous dynasty in ancient China is the Tang Dynasty. A hundred years after the Tang Dynasty flourished, wouldn't it still be replaced by five generations and ten countries?" Qiao still pursed his lips and smiled, "So what if it flourishes for a hundred years? Sooner or later, there will be a day of destruction. "

"But …" Vice Minister Liu hesitated. "Is the emperor confident he can exterminate the Devil Palace in one go?"

"We'll have to wait for the Regent's return before we can discuss this with him." Qiao Qiao's eyes were still shining as she looked towards the throne that was unique to all. She really did not know when it was that everything she had done was done after discussing with Yan Mo Chen. Was it possible that she had become so reliant on him from the bottom of her heart?

Vice Minister Liu didn't say much. He only slightly nodded his head, as if he also felt that the Emperor's words were true from the bottom of his heart.

Qiao Qiao's red lips were still slightly curled. He turned his head and signaled to Elder Zhang. Elder Zhang stepped forward and shouted, "Withdraw ~"

Qiao Qiao still stood up and slowly walked towards the outside of the throne room.

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty. Wait a moment." Outside the hall, the justice court's official ran towards Qiao Qiao in a panic, shouting out anxiously.

Qiao Qiao still looked over when he heard the voice. He saw that there was indeed no sign of the justice court's official in the morning assembly. At this moment, he was panting heavily as he walked towards the main hall. Joe was still thinking this, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"You can leave for now." Qiao Qiao still dismissed all the officials within the throne room. In the large throne room, only she and the justice court official who had just entered remained.

"What happened?" Qiao Qiao still had a grave expression on his face. Something big must have happened to make the usually calm and composed Official of the Supreme Court act in such a manner.

"Return …" Your Majesty, Prime Minister Luo has been jailed! " The justice court's official's face was flushed red as he panted, "This old official has failed in his duties. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" The justice court's official immediately knelt on the ground, his face full of self-blame.

"When?" Qiao Qiao's face remained calm, but her heart was already in turmoil. She had originally thought that Prime Minister Luo was just an abandoned chess piece of the Demon Palace and that he would die just like that. But what she hadn't expected was that the Demon Palace would send people to rob the prison in such a waste of effort! It seemed Prime Minister Luo was no small fry to the Demon Palace.

"Just last night, when it was about to become ugly, a group of people suddenly rushed into the justice courts, which could be considered to be heavily guarded, but the people who came here were all well-trained, and as if they had already found their target, they easily arrived at Prime Minister Luo's prison. At the beginning, the guards of the temple could barely block them, and in the end, a white robed old man descended from the sky. This white clothed old man's martial arts was very high, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close, so he single-handedly broke into the prison and brought back the dying Prime Minister Luo." The justice court's official broke out in a cold sweat, reporting everything that had happened last night from the beginning to the end.

A white-clothed old man? Qiao Qiao's eyes still flashed. Could it be the same Imperial Advisor from before?

"Alright, I understand." Qiao Qiao's eyes that were still indifferent slightly drooped down. It was unexpected that something like this had happened, but she forced herself to remain calm and slowly asked, "How many people have died in the justice courts?"

"The goal of that group of people was only to save people and not to fight. None of the guards of the justice courts were killed or injured, but ten of them were severely injured, but their lives were no longer in danger." The justice courts replied.

"Soothe the wounded guards, save them then save them. Prime Minister Luo is now a cripple, even if he is saved, it is still unknown whether he is alive or dead." Qiao Qiao still exhaled and spoke with slight helplessness.

"Yes, in the end, it was this official who wasn't strict with his watch, resulting in the justice courts suffering such an incident. This subject is willing to be punished." The justice court's official cupped his hands as he spoke.

"No need. They are all well-trained. They must have come prepared. You can't be blamed." Qiao still waved his hand, signalling the justice court official to withdraw.

"This official will take his leave." The justice court's official bowed and then stood up. With a sigh, he turned and left the throne room.
