I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Lu Yuan glanced at the two grandmasters in front of him and saw no signs of poisoning on them. He was deeply skeptical of what they said.

"You two are both at the Grandmaster level, are you still afraid of poison?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the two of them suddenly became anxious and hurried to explain.

"We didn't lie. The poison was colorless and tasteless, just like water. Prince Jing injected it into our bodies. We don't know what the poison was, but when it took effect, we were in extreme pain!"

Like water?
The moment he heard this, a possibility came to Lu Yuan's mind.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on the wrist of one of the great masters, and with the other hand, he placed it on his neck.

Together with the two major meridians, he could feel that there was indeed an extra discordant force in the body of this grand master. As for what it was, he already knew it very clearly in his mind.

"This is not some kind of poison, but a life and death talisman!"

The two grand masters were stunned and looked surprised.

"Isn't it said that the Life and Death Talisman is a kind of evil magic? And it has been lost for a long time, and no one has ever used it. How could Prince Jing use such a trick?"

Lu Yuan said with a smile on his face.

"It's not surprising that he can keep pretending to be a person who only cares about pleasure."

"Besides, he also used the Life and Death Talisman in front of you, but you didn't know it, so you have been deceived until now."

Lu Yuan had not expected that Prince Jing had such strength and scheming. In comparison, Prince Yan seemed stupid and incompetent!
After taking a look at the two great masters in front of him, he hadn't figured out what to do with them yet, so it would be okay to lock them up here for now.

After Lu Yuan came out, he told him his discovery.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Jiuyou frowned, his face full of worry.

"It is said that the life and death talisman can control a person's life and death, and can even cause a person to be attacked silently. It is completely impossible to defend against. If we were to confront Prince Jing, I'm afraid we would have no chance of winning."

Lu Yuan looked calm, shook his head and explained.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that it's easier for ordinary people or people with low cultivation to plant the Life and Death Talisman. For people with higher cultivation, the Life and Death Talisman is more difficult to plant."

"Not only that, depending on each person's physique, the things needed are also different. Although water is needed as a medium, it could be wine, rainwater, or dew. There will be obvious differences."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions relaxed a little and they were not so nervous anymore.

However, they are not worried about their own situation now, but are more worried about Jiang Linglong's situation.

Prince Jing has been lying in wait, and he must be coveting that position. The first target he wants to attack must be Jiang Linglong.

Thinking of this, Shen Shiyu spoke hurriedly.

"Husband, if this happens, Linglong will be in great danger. Otherwise, you should go to the imperial capital to protect her first. During this time, we will practice well and strive to improve as soon as possible!"

The other people also nodded in agreement, having the same idea.

However, in comparison, Lu Yuan seemed much calmer.

"Don't worry, Linglong is now protected by Dugu Aoyun, so there won't be any problems for the time being."

The moment they heard the name, they were shocked, but what shocked them even more was yet to come.

After a pause, Lu Yuan continued.

"Even if Dugu Aoyun is no match, we still have Baidi, don't worry."

Lin'er really couldn't understand it, and was confused, so she asked.

"Husband, what is going on? How is it related to Dugu Aoyun and Baidi? With the two of them around, wouldn't Linglong be in even greater danger?" Seeing that they were all unclear about the matter, Lu Yuan explained the general situation.

After hearing this, several people suddenly realized what was going on, but none of them supported this matter. The first one to stand up and oppose it was Xiao Xuewei.

"Linglong is the empress of the Great Zhou. That Baidi is so ambitious that he even dared to have feelings for Linglong. He is really too presumptuous. We must not grant his wish!"

Shen Shiyu also nodded and responded.

"That's right. This Baidi is not a good person at all. He even wants to control the entire Shenzhou Continent. I'm afraid he will soon succeed in collecting the eight divine weapons. When that happens, it will inevitably cause great suffering to all living beings, and the ones affected will be innocent people!"

Ning Xiaoyu had a conflicted expression on her face. She walked to Lu Yuan and looked up at him.

"Master, what should we do about this matter? Baidi..."

Understanding what she meant, Lu Yuan said softly.

"Don't worry, Baidi won't succeed as long as I'm here. I need to be in seclusion these few days, so just do your best to do your job well. As for the rest, don't worry."

"If something serious really happens, I will come out as soon as possible."

Hearing Lu Yuan say this, several people nodded.

With Lu Yuan's ability, he can come and go freely in the underworld, so dealing with a small White Emperor will definitely not be a problem.

Dayan.

Zhu Feng was discussing important matters with Yuwen Honghao when Shijian walked in.

"My queen, the prince has arrived and is waiting in the front hall."

Zhu Feng was not surprised, but looked at Yuwen Honghao with an expression as if he had expected it, smiling.

"I didn't expect that he couldn't hold back now. I guess he wants to be crowned emperor sooner, so he came here so quickly!"

Yuwen Honghao nodded, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, I never saw that he had such thoughts before, but now that I know clearly, everything is not surprising anymore, and I even feel that it is all within expectations."

"My lady, let's go out and see what he's thinking now!"

The two looked at each other, then stood up and went to the main hall.

When he saw them coming together, the prince seemed a little surprised.

"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to be here too, but is there something important to discuss? I came at the wrong time!"

Hearing this, Yuwen Honghao smiled.

"I was playing chess with the queen to relieve her boredom. I didn't expect the prince's uncle to come. Is there something important you want to discuss this time?"

The king's uncle did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.

He knew that Zhu Feng and Yuwen Honghao were in the same group, so there was no need to hide it, so he might as well just say it out loud.

The prince's uncle looked at Zhu Feng and spoke slowly.

"I don't know if the promise made by the queen before still counts, that is, to push me to the throne of Dayan."

Zhu Feng did not answer him directly, but took the initiative and asked a question in return.

"From what the uncle said, has he already made up his mind?" (End of this chapter)
