my fate is a monster

Chapter 239 Emperor Chaoyun’s Scandal
The shadow killer didn't know what happened to him until he died.

If only he knew that there is a skill in this world called fate skill.

Then he will definitely realize that he was first struck by bad luck during his lifetime, and then his fate was shattered with a single blow from the life-cutting skill.

When his eyes were fixed on Qin Yu and he never left her, the charm of his fate had already begun to fade away.

After solving the shadow killer who was following and monitoring.

Qin Yu no longer hid, but quickly ran out of the city.

According to the time agreed between Princess Rongchang and herself, it is still early.

But Qin Yu knew that with the way Emperor Chaoyun acted, Bao Buqi would also set up spies on Princess Rongchang's way to Yaowang Temple, or directly in Yaowang Temple.

After his cultivation reaches the peak of the Nine Realms.

Qin Yu's control of true energy and blood has reached the point of perfection.

While running wildly down the long street, the release of energy and blood was almost undetectable, and there was no excessive fluctuation of true energy.

Therefore, in the eyes of passers-by, Qin Yu was just an ordinary pedestrian and did not attract too much attention.

After leaving the city gate, Qin Yu changed his route and headed for the Yaowang Temple.

……

In the back garden of Xijing Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Chaoyun was sitting in the pavilion in the center of the waterside pavilion.

There were no maids or guards around.

According to his instructions, at this moment, not a single fly can fly in within a few miles.

The reason why the screen retreated left and right.

Emperor Chaoyun was actually observing several life stones on the stone table.

These life stones were all left behind by the shadow killers he sent out.

hum!
At this time, one of them suddenly went out.

Emperor Chaoyun raised his brows and eyes slightly, and the corner of his mouth overflowed with a trace of coldness. He said in surprise, "Pure Wind...can actually kill the Shadow Killer?"

The life stone he saw was left by the shadow killer who sneaked into Taiyi Palace.

"Unbelievable!" Emperor Chao Yun shook his head, a little unbelievable, "No matter how strong Chun Feng is, he is only at the beginning of the eighth realm, and Shadow Killer should have the secret technique to subdue him. How could he just fall?"

"No! There must be helpers who have also entered the Taiyi Palace!"

Emperor Chaoyun was not very shocked by this result.

After the loss of the Shadow Killer, a new one will soon replace him. He is not worried about the death of his subordinates.

But - at this juncture, Taiyi Palace can still invite help?

"Could it be Zhiheng and Huaye, those two bastards?"

Emperor Chaoyun secretly guessed.

Master Zhiheng is the head of Yunzhen Taoist Palace, and he just broke through the Nine Realms a few days ago.

Hua Ye is the head of the Taoist Palace in the town, and he broke through the Nine Realms one month earlier than Zhiheng Zhenren.

In the past few days, with the opening of the Bone Burial Ground, many powerful people in this world have made breakthroughs in their cultivation.

As the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Chaoyun was naturally aware of this information.

"If these two guys take action, the Shadow Killer is indeed no match for them."

"However... the whole town's Taoist palace has surrendered to me, and Huaye himself retired to seclusion early and has not come out. At this moment, the prime minister and others should be in the whole town's Taoist palace, so it should not be Huaye."

"If it's not Huaye, then it can only be Zhiheng!"

Emperor Chaoyun couldn't help but think of the head of the Immortal Style Taoist Temple in Yunzhen Taoist Palace.

but--

As one of the top three in Xijing Dao Sect.

Zhiheng has been stuck in the eighth realm for many years, and has just broken through in the past few days.

Logically speaking, Zhiheng should choose to continue to hide his capabilities and bide his time and consolidate his cultivation.

There is absolutely no reason to take this risk...

When Emperor Chaoyun thought of this, he couldn't help but reach out and slap it on the stone table.

The stone table remained motionless, but the ground beneath the table immediately cracked, and the true energy was released and flowed into the lake.

Most of the goldfish swimming in the water died immediately. All of them turned up on their bellies and floated up from the water.

was thinking.

hum!
Another ray of blue light swept up.

A life stone on the table went out again.

Emperor Chao Yun glanced sideways and saw the life stone.

"Shadow Four?"

This life stone refers to the shadow killer he sent to Laoya Temple to monitor Qin Yu.

Unexpectedly, it also quickly fell.

"Qin Yu...Lao Ya Guan!"

Emperor Chaoyun narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "You actually killed two of my shadow killers one after another... Hehe... It seems that you don't even want to pretend now, you are challenging me! "

"Little Zamao, if that's the case, I will personally take your head!"

The nameless fire arose, and Emperor Chao Yun stood up straight away. A strong wind of true energy swept over his body, and he was about to use his body skills to rush towards the Old Crow Temple in the west.

hum!
At this time, a trace of true energy fluctuation suddenly came from the storage ring, interrupting Emperor Chaoyun's movements.

Emperor Chao Yun stopped, casually scratched the space of the storage ring, and took out a jade communication token.

On the jade tablet, there was a glimmer of green spirit, and a ray of message emerged straight away:
"Your Majesty, something happened to the Queen Mother Zhou in Prince Rong's Mansion! The royal family An Mengsi may be unfavorable to Your Majesty."

The message that the messaging jade tablet can transmit cannot exceed one hundred words at most.

This sentence is nothing more than a simple statement.

But after looking at Emperor Chao Yun, his face suddenly stiffened, his body swayed slightly, his eyes shot out a threatening light, and he immediately roared: "Didn't you say that after I killed her with my own hands, I wouldn't pursue her anymore? An. What do these old women in Mengsi want to do?"

There was no one around, so naturally no one answered this question.

But this piece of information obviously shocked Emperor Chaoyun greatly.

Immediately, Emperor Chaoyun changed his mind about going to Laoya Temple to kill Qin Yu, and in a flash, he swept out of the back garden.

After a moment.

Emperor Chaoyun came to the study.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is back!"

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Outside the door of the study, several close ministers have been standing, all of whom are the most trusted confidants of Emperor Chaoyun.

Except for the two prime ministers working outside, this place is home to six ministers.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Emperor Chaoyun glanced at the Minister of Rites.

The information just now came from the Minister of Rites.The Minister of Rites, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, is an old man about sixty years old.

Seeing Emperor Chaoyun, he couldn't help but kneel to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the old affairs of Prince Rong's Mansion were revealed by An Mengsi. Not only did they find out the relationship between the Queen Mother Zhou and Your Majesty, they also found out the truth about the massacre in Rong County..."

"Everything seems to be aimed at His Majesty!"

Heard about "Queen Mother Zhou" and "Rongxian Massacre".

Emperor Chaoyun's heart skipped a beat, and his head suddenly buzzed.

"Aren't these things in the past long ago? Moreover, many witnesses have been solved. The Anmon Division was not established at that time. How did they find out?"

Emperor Chaoyun sat on the main seat and said with a cold expression.

"This..." The Minister of Rites looked at several colleagues around him, feeling a little unspeakable.

Emperor Chaoyun also turned red, waved his hand and said, "You guys go out and wait."

The remaining ministers had no choice but to retire and file out.

After Emperor Chaoyun deployed several banning formations, he glanced at the Minister of Rites.

At this moment, Emperor Chaoyun's face was already very uneasy.

"Your Majesty, the affair between you and the Queen Mother Zhou was originally extremely secret. When you became a vassal in Prince Rong's Mansion, only a few people knew about it, and it never reached the capital."

"That's why the late emperor at that time favored you and chose you to be the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"After you were established as the crown prince, the old slave followed the original plan and strangled the Queen Mother Zhou and all the insiders related to the matter."

"Later, just to be on the safe side, the old slave sent strong men to the hometown of Queen Mother Zhou and poisoned her entire family. As for the maids and guards, they were all eradicated."

"Later, in order to further disturb the public attention, the old slave personally led people, disguised as bandits, and rushed into Rongxian County overnight, killing and injuring more than 12 county residents, causing shock to the government and the public."

"The late Emperor gave you the task of solving the Rong County tragedy at this time. You later took action and killed all the bandits, solving the case perfectly and establishing your prestige in advance for later taking over the capital..."

"This matter is supposed to be flawless, but somehow, yesterday, a secret agent from the Anmeng Division reported that the Anmeng Division had found out some of the truth about the matter, and seemed to want to hold His Majesty accountable."

The Minister of Rites knelt on the ground and told the whole story.

The more Emperor Chaoyun heard this, the uglier his face became.

This Anmeng Division was an yamen established by the late Emperor Chaoyun after he took over the capital and became the crown prince in order to protect the face of the Zhou royal family and restrain their speech and behavior.

The leader of this yamen was the then empress, now the empress dowager.

In the yamen, there are many powerful people from the current empress dowager family who hold important positions and are quite powerful.

However, during the years when Emperor Chaoyun was in power, he also used various means to weaken the power of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager also tolerated secretly and never openly felt sorry for Emperor Chaoyun, and they lived in peace with each other for decades.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Anmengsi actually started to investigate the matter of Emperor Chaoyun's vassalage in Rong County.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chaoyun couldn't help but slap the desk hard.

How can a wooden desk withstand the power of a Nine Realm expert?

Crush immediately.

"Zheng Meijuan! Don't bully others too much!"

"I didn't bother you, but you bullied me!"

"Look, I don't want your life!"

The voice was cold and stern, like the roar of a wild animal.

The Minister of Rites opposite was immediately horrified, his head lowered, and he did not dare to express his anger.

Zheng Meijuan is the nickname of the current Empress Dowager.

Emperor Chaoyun and the Empress Dowager are not related by blood, but as the emperor, he still has to address them as "mother empress".

Hear this.

The Minister of Rites quickly raised his head tremblingly and persuaded: "Your Majesty, calm down...Although Empress Dowager Zheng has lost the support of the late emperor, her Zheng family is the head of the great Zhou family, and there are countless masters in the palace, including Several Ninth Realm experts are in charge, and the old slave has sent killers to infiltrate before, but they all went away and never came back."

"Even if you can really break into her palace and kill her, you will also provoke the power of the entire Great Zhou family... These thousand-year-old families have always surrendered to the royal family in words and stirred up the charm secretly. Now you have been promoted The ten realms are coming soon, don’t mess up your position!”

The Minister of Rites makes a lot of sense.

Emperor Chaoyun's anger also slowly subsided, and he sat down heavily on the chair, saying: "But if the affair between me and the Queen Mother Zhou, coupled with the massacre in Rong County, is confirmed, then I will really make everyone laugh. , was ridiculed by the Zhou royal family and lost their support!"

"How can I still have the dignity to be the emperor then?"

When Emperor Chaoyun was a vassal in Rong County, he was just an innocent prince.

Anyway, as Emperor Chaoyun at that time, he had absolutely no chance of ascending to the throne.

Therefore, in the land of the vassal, Emperor Chaoyun spent the whole day either making love or stealing chickens and walking his dogs. It was a wonderful time in his life.

Later, the prince lost his moral character and was deposed, committed suicide, and wars between the court and the court arose.

The prince's biological mother is not the current Queen Mother, but Concubine Zhou.

After the death of the prince, Concubine Zhou was exiled to Yazhou. When passing by Rong County, she was bumped into by the drunk Emperor Chaoyun.

At that time, Emperor Chaoyun was also extremely daring and had strong martial arts skills. He killed the officials who were escorting Concubine Zhou and settled Concubine Zhou into the palace.

Without any resistance, Concubine Zhou had an affair with Emperor Chaoyun.

But little did he know that later the Zhou Dynasty changed and several princes lost power one after another.

The first emperor intended to choose an heir from among the several imperial nephews who went out to take up the feudal domain, and finally chose Emperor Chaoyun impartially.

After Emperor Chaoyun found out about it, he knew that the scandal could not last long, so he sent people to poison Zhou Guifei and personally committed the Rongxian massacre.

The number of casualties caused by this incident exceeded 10,000+.

But the scandal between Emperor Chaoyun and Concubine Zhou can be considered as smooth sailing for the time being.

Afterwards, Emperor Chaoyun entered the palace safely and became the new emperor.

Originally thought that this matter had been completely exposed, but unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Zheng did not let it go at all.

It's been undercover for decades.

Unexpectedly, some clues have been discovered in the past few days.

"What did they find?" Emperor Chaoyun calmed down and asked.

The Minister of Etiquette shook his head and said: "The status of Anmeng Division's hidden stake is too low to have access to the core secrets. The old slave only knows that they seem to have found a trace of Zhou Guifei's remnant soul. In addition, there is another person who served Zhou Guifei The maid was born with a broken bloodline. After being beheaded, she actually survived. After escaping, she only had one breath left. After that, she lived in the Jiangnan area for decades."

"In the past few days, it seems that someone brought this person back to Ammons..."

"Searching for souls?" Emperor Chaoyun immediately became angry again and shouted, "The Empress Dowager Zhou had already been crushed to ashes, where can I find the remaining soul? Are you being alarmist?"

The Minister of Rites shivered with fright and quickly explained: "It seems that a Nine Realm life hunter came from Anmeng Sili. He used the skill of life search to find something attached to the burial objects of the Queen Mother Zhou in Rong County. A trace of resentment.”

"Then using resentment as a matchmaker, I found a trace of her remnant soul from the underworld."

Emperor Chaoyun's eyes widened in shock, and he said angrily: "There are such methods in this world?! Why didn't I know?"

The Minister of Rites lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "The Life Hunters are the existences that compete with the heavens for control. They are the only ones in this world who can travel between the Yin and Yang realms."

"Ninth Realm Life Hunter! Is it possible that he is stronger than the Chief of the Tianming Department?"

Emperor Chao Yun shook his head, still not believing it, "When I summon the head of the Tianming Department to come, I will ask him personally!"

"Yes!" The Minister of Rites breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Emperor Chaoyun doesn't vent his anger on himself, everything will be fine.
