Villain: At The Beginning, He Cut Out The Heroine's Pupil With A Knife

After hearing Chen Yuan's "emotional" speech, the empress knew that he was talking nonsense, but she could do nothing about it.

"Well, since this is the family affair of the Shen family, as one of the eight major clans of Northern Qi, I will naturally give the Shen family the right to deal with a traitor."

"But, Prime Minister, your treatment is indeed a little inappropriate. You are the prime minister, but you gouged out someone's eyes. If this gets out, it will not only affect your body, but also the face of our Northern Qi."

"If those foreign countries know about it, they will think that the people of our Northern Qi are all cruel and bloodthirsty."

Chen Yuan secretly clenched his fists, but then he loosened his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I was not thoughtful enough. Please punish me."

"My dear minister, you are too polite. Since this is your family's business, I naturally cannot say much. However, your action does damage the image of Northern Qi. How about this? My dear minister, you reluctantly give up your love and give me a thousand taels of gold, and then let the two mirrors of the Demon Suppression Division, Frost Mirror and Light Snow Mirror, to help me appease the surrounding states and eliminate the misunderstanding for the Prime Minister?"

A thousand taels of gold is a small matter, but to hand over the Frost Mirror and Light Snow Mirror... Your Majesty is going to make the Shen family bleed a little.

All people in the Northern Qi Xian Dynasty know that Northern Qi does not tolerate demons, so there is a Demon Suppression Division. Below the Demon Suppression Division, there are a total of 24 mirror departments named after the 24 solar terms. The empress holds ten mirrors, the general director of the Demon Suppression Division holds six mirrors, the Ministry of War holds three mirrors, and the remaining five mirrors, one mirror in the Imperial Guards, and two mirrors in Wei Qi Longmen Guard.

The last two mirrors are in the hands of Prime Minister Chen Yuan.

Now, the empress wants to take back the two mirrors. Once they are taken back, it means that Chen Yuan can no longer reach the Demon Suppression Department.

The empress knows that Chen Yuan has secretly intervened in many court institutions, but she must not let him infiltrate the Demon Suppression Department.

"My dear, I am also thinking about you. You don't want the surrounding countries to think that the prime minister of Northern Qi is a ruthless person who digs out people's eyes, right? You are the prime minister of the current dynasty, and you need to care about your image everywhere."

The empress narrowed her eyes and swept her meaningful eyes towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan secretly complained. No wonder Chen Yuan wanted to rebel in the original book. This empress really felt uncomfortable if she didn't disgust herself.

Although I know that you are afraid of the power of the prime minister and want to reduce my power, this is too hasty, isn't it?

Zhu Yuanzhang has made preparations to kill Hu Weiyong.

Seeing Chen Yuan silent, the empress showed a hint of unkindness.

"What? Prime Minister, are you unwilling or reluctant?"

Chen Yuan smiled.

"Since it is the will of His Majesty, how dare I disobey?"

Hearing this, Wei Qi couldn't help but raise his lips. Once Chen Yuan's Frost and Snow mirrors were taken back by His Majesty, Chen Yuan's control over the Demon Suppression Division would be reduced to zero.

You know, the Demon Suppression Division gathers the most outstanding geniuses of the Northern Qi Dynasty!

From the name, we can guess that the Demon Suppression Division exists to suppress and kill monsters. Would the person who suppresses and kills monsters be an ordinary person?

The empress didn't expect Chen Yuan to agree so readily. She thought she would have to argue with Chen Yuan for a while.

The civil and military officials in the court also began to whisper to each other. They didn't expect Chen Yuan to agree so readily. Losing these two mirrors was like pulling out a tiger's teeth for him.

Especially those Shen Party officials, they were very anxious.

"What on earth is Chen Xiang doing? How can the two mirrors of the Demon Suppression Division be handed over just like that?"

"Yes, now Lord Chen has lost the two mirrors, but Wei Qi still has the two mirrors in his hands. Wouldn't he be restricted in every way when fighting Wei Qi in the future?"

And Chen Yuan closed his eyes peacefully, under his long sleeves, his hands alternated, and his index fingers swung up and down in a regular manner like a pendulum.

Calculating the time, it should be about time...

The empress was overjoyed, but she pretended to be calm on the surface, and was afraid that something might happen later, so she hurriedly said.

"In that case, please return the mirror seals of the Frost and Minor Cold mirrors as soon as possible..."

"Of course, your majesty's words, I will obey."

But soon, a eunuch ran to the empress in a panic and whispered something to her.

"What did you say?!" The Empress lost her composure, "Qian Rou's soul was injured?! How is this possible?!"

"I dare not speak nonsense! This morning, Princess Qian Rou was pale and had no body temperature. I hurried to summon the imperial doctors, but after the examination, the imperial doctors said that Princess Qian Rou was fine, but her soul was injured!"

The civil and military officials on the stage looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Princess Qian Rou's soul was injured?"

"Princess Qian Rou has been staying in Luoxia Palace, how could her soul be injured?"

"Who has been to Luoxia Palace?"

When it comes to who has been to Luoxia Palace, including the Empress, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Yuan!

Yesterday, he was the only one who went to Luoxia Palace and met Princess Qian Rou!

Could it be that...

"Chen Yuan! You dared to attack the little princess!" Wei Qi started first, "You were the only one who went to Luoxia Palace to meet the little princess yesterday. It must be you who attacked the little princess and injured her soul! You are so brave!!"

Chen Yuan was calm and saluted the empress.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. As everyone knows, the soul was injured immediately. Not to mention that my Shen family has no skills that can hurt the soul. Even if there are, how can I let the princess's soul be injured today after meeting Princess Qianrou yesterday?"

Civil and military officials nodded one after another. Chen Yuan was right. Unlike the physical body, the soul is a pure soul. Therefore, once the soul is injured, it will be injured whenever it is attacked. Unlike the physical body, some skills will have dark energy. There is not much reaction when it is hit. Once the dark energy explodes, it will be injured.

Furthermore, Chen Yuan did not lie. Chen Yuan's Shen family was also very familiar with the officials of Beiqi. Their Qianhuan Lingtong only had the method of controlling and healing spirits, and the family did not have any skills that could give the injured soul.

"It is Lord Wei who is so eager to throw dirty water. I think he has ulterior motives."

"What nonsense! I am loyal to your majesty, as the sun and the moon can testify!"

The empress gritted her teeth. Although she was also puzzled as to why her sister's soul was suddenly injured, the most important thing now was to heal her sister's soul first.

If her sister's soul was incomplete, she might be in danger of life!

Princess Qianrou, but the person the empress cares about most at present, yes, the most at present, because the person she cares about most after she falls in love with the protagonist later becomes Qin Yang.

But at least now, before she is with Qin Yang, she cares most about that little girl.

The old eunuch also said anxiously: "Your Majesty, quickly arrange for someone who knows how to heal the spirit to treat Princess Qianrou!"

Healing the soul and spirit is referred to as healing the spirit, but who has this ability at the moment?

Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pupils!

After the Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pupils break through the eighth level, they can have the ability to heal the soul and body!

The empress also looked at Chen Yuan eagerly.

"Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, your Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pupils seem to have reached the seventh level?"

"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister, but I just broke through the ninth level a while ago."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials, including Wei Qi, were excited.

This guy, the Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pupils have already cultivated to the ninth level? ! You know, he has the cultivation of a half-step supreme!

Fortunately, he is a cripple, otherwise his combat power would be too amazing, even close to the empress!

Ninth level!

The empress seemed to see hope.

"I heard that after the Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pupils reach the eighth level, it is enough to perform the method of healing the soul. Are you willing to do your best for Princess Qianrou?"

Chen Yuan bowed his head and clasped his hands.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for having important matters to attend to. I need to return early. I am afraid I don't have much time to go to Luoxia Palace..." After saying this, Chen Yuan raised his head and stared at the empress with a gloomy and cold gaze.
