Chapter 176 Demonic Dragon
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Gu Yu did not waste any time and immediately made relevant plans.
Originally, Gu Yu had intended to seize this opportunity to force Bai Qian to give him some benefits.
Seeing his little wife’s tired appearance now, Gu Yu no longer sought any benefits and felt that he must quickly resolve those guys.
Bai Qian, that cunning fox, had probably already anticipated that it would turn out like this…
Just as Gu Yu was mentally cursing Bai Qian, she was also extremely busy. She had to deal with the troublesome Zhou Li and also with those who called her a vixen who brought ruin to the country.
Bai Qian had not anticipated such a situation would occur.
Or rather, she had not expected the officials of Linfeng Kingdom to be so self-deceiving, wanting to shift all the blame onto her and maintain a facade of peace.
They didn’t even consider who had caused everything that had happened now…
It had nothing to do with her, Bai Qian. Even if she wanted to obtain the throne, she would have chosen a more stable method and would not have killed the Emperor so abruptly.
Only the Wang Clan would do something so thoughtless.
However, this was not much.
No matter what tricks they had, let them come at her!
“Your Highness, the alliance has found several more suspicious individuals and has already sent people to track and investigate them. They can make a move at any time.”
“Mm, do not alert the enemy. Even if there is the slightest possibility, there is no need to leave any survivors.”
“Yes!”
Just as Bai Qian was thinking about how to deal with those who slandered her, her subordinate brought her good news, causing Bai Qian to smile faintly, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, making her extremely eye-catching.
However, hearing the coldness in her words sent a chill down one’s spine.
A beautiful serpent.
…
“Brother-in-law, why do you want me to spread this kind of news! Now the people in the capital are all confining themselves at home, afraid of being beheaded on the street one day. There is simply no way to spread it!”
“Why so much nonsense! I’m not asking you to make this matter known to everyone, but just to let the officials serving in the capital know… You can start with the families of these officials, which will be more convenient and faster.”
“It can be done, but why!”
After Gu Yu had determined what to do, he first found his well-informed younger brother-in-law to help him.
When Gu Qingheng heard Gu Yu’s words, his face was filled with confusion, he did not know what his brother-in-law was trying to do!
What was this talk about the Dragon and Rabbit harming each other, and the True Dragon being offended by minor villains…
“Why so many questions, you’re almost becoming a ‘What’ of Ten Thousand Questions… The information I got from the alliance is that Zhou Li’s zodiac sign is the Dragon, and the deceased Emperor’s zodiac sign is also the Dragon. The two together would cause harm. It just so happened that when Zhou Li was preparing to disguise himself and escape, the Emperor died. In the eyes of others… if this coincidence is not used, it would be a waste.”
“Brother-in-law, you want to use the theory of zodiac signs to frame Zhou Li?”
“It’s just something I suddenly thought of. The main thing is to divert people’s attention. Otherwise, if they keep staring at Bai Qian, your sister will also be under a lot of pressure.”
“Alright! I know what to do, wait for my good news!”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng finally understood the whole story and did not refuse at this time.
He also wanted to do something for his own sister. The task that Gu Yu had assigned him was tailor-made for him.
Besides him, who else in the Gu Residence could be called the King of Gossip!
Watching Gu Qingheng’s quickly departing back, Gu Yu thought that the first step was completed.
Once the news was spread, those who always wanted to sacrifice Bai Qian would also quiet down for a while.
“Xi Yang, go investigate Zhou Li’s current location.”
“Yes.”
Afterward, Gu Yu gave an instruction to someone behind him. Without seeing Xi Yang appear, after he replied, with the rustling sound of the leaves moving, Xi Yang had already left.
Second step, determine Zhou Li’s location.
This can prepare for the third step.
Gu Yu never fights a battle he is not sure of. As long as he takes action, it will be successful!
Therefore, Zhou Li would have to suffer a little.
A few days later…
“Hey, hey, have you heard… the Emperor’s death is not simple!”
“What, you have news?”
“Of course. This is a secret that my wife learned through the protection of the Mountain God when she went up the mountain to pray for me! The Emperor didn’t have to die, but when Zhou Li, who is said to have a royal bloodline, appeared, things became unstoppable.”
“???”
In a certain official’s home in the capital.
After inviting his close friends, the door to the room was tightly shut, and a group of people gathered together, discussing in hushed voices.
When they spoke of the Emperor’s death not being simple, the expressions on everyone’s faces became even more excited.
It felt like they had become Vice Ministers of Dali Temple, investigating a shocking case!
“At first, I didn’t believe this either, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense! Think about it, the Emperor’s zodiac sign is the Dragon, which everyone knows. At that time, some people even praised the Emperor as the True Dragon Son of Heaven. However, the newly emerged Zhou Li, who claims to be a Prince, also has a royal bloodline and is also a Dragon… Linfeng Kingdom already has one Dragon, and now another one has appeared. Two Dragons are bound to fight!”
“Even so, perhaps Zhou Li is the real True Dragon Son of Heaven! After all, the Emperor is dead.”
“No, no, no, Zhou Li is not the True Dragon, he is the Demonic Dragon!”
“Demonic Dragon?”
Upon hearing the words “Demonic Dragon,” the eyes of the other officials widened, not knowing what it meant.
Prince Zhou Li was actually a Demonic Dragon?
Could it be that it was precisely because of his appearance that the Emperor lost his life?
“Just based on Zhou Li’s past actions of killing and arson, such behavior cannot be considered that of a gentleman, and naturally, he is not a good Dragon! Moreover, he has not restrained himself at all, and has instead become increasingly arrogant… You don’t know, but it is said that quite a few women were toyed with by Zhou Li and then died of humiliation by throwing themselves into a lake.”
“This… Such behavior is truly outrageous.”
“Compared to the deceased Emperor, who was devoted to the country and had no flaws, he is definitely a good Dragon! But it is precisely because the Emperor was worried about the country that he was harmed by the Demonic Dragon and lost his life in vain.”
“If you say so, we cannot support Zhou Li!”
“Yes, that’s what I think too. Zhou Li, this Demonic Dragon, is not worthy of ascending the throne.”
“Let those old fogeys who are willing to recommend Zhou Li go ahead. Anyway, we will not let such a wicked person become the Emperor of Linfeng Kingdom.”
“Alas, they recommend Zhou Li as the Emperor, what about the civilians of Linfeng Kingdom!”
After listening to the explanation, everyone present thought carefully and felt that what was said made sense.
Zhou Li was a Demonic Dragon. If he were to ascend the throne, the consequences would be unimaginable.
For the future of Linfeng Kingdom, they absolutely would not agree to let Zhou Li ascend the throne!!!
