Chapter 237 Hua Jin, the Last Elegy
Lu Yuguan activated the Falling Spring Breeze and flew quickly in the air.
After entering the Jindan stage, the speed of his spiritual power circulation reached a new level.
With the help of mental power, his current level of spiritual power control is close to that of a veteran Jindan stage cultivator.
"It's right in front."
Looking at the dozens of dragon guards in armor, Lu Yuguan leaned down to the ground.
"His Majesty."
Lu Yuguan came to Li Ping.
"Shang Li Shaoqing, why are you here?"
Li Ping asked.
"I saw the sky change and thought something must have happened. I am a Jindan stage cultivator after all, so I can help a little, so I rushed here."
Lu Yuguan said quickly.
"You're kind-hearted," Li Ping murmured, "but unfortunately, the current situation is beyond your ability to resolve."
Following Li Ping's line of sight, Lu Yuguan looked forward.
Not far away, the magnificent palace was burning with black smoke.
There was a noble lady in front of the hall. She was holding an empty box and shaking madly on the open space, mumbling incoherent words.
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Guards have gone to put out the fire, but there's something wrong with the fireworks; they can't be extinguished with ordinary water."
General Chen Zizai said.
Li Ping frowned and said, "Could it be a special flame? Call the palace alchemist and let them take a look."
"Yes."
After hearing this, Lu Yuguan asked in confusion, "A fire that can't be extinguished?"
Li Ping calmly explained, "Mr. Shang Li, you don't know that in this world, there are fires that cannot be put out by water, and there are also waters that cannot be swallowed by wood."
"The world is full of wonders. Even at the Jindan stage... one can only glimpse a small part of the whole."
After hearing Li Ping's words, Lu Yuguan felt a little solemn in his heart.
Lu Yuguan looked at the noble lady in front of the palace and asked, "Your Majesty, who is that person..."
"The Ninth Prince's biological mother, Empress Hua Jin."
Li Pingdao.
Lu Yuguan suddenly shuddered, and countless possibilities emerged in his mind.
Earlier in the Fallen Desire Stone Forest, he knew about the Ninth Prince's life story. Now the Emperor just watched Empress Hua Jin dancing without making any move.
Indifferent.
Could it be a form of revenge?
"Shang Li Shao Qing."
"The minister is here."
"You should have heard about Chongjiu's incident, right?"
Li Ping's words lingered in Lu Yuguan's ears, frightening him so much that his heart trembled.
"I don't know what your majesty is talking about. I only know that the Ninth Prince has been recovering from illness and has not returned to Kyoto."
Lu Yuguan said.
Li Ping smiled faintly and said, "As expected of you, you are the Minister of Commerce. You are indeed very understanding of justice."
goooo...
Lu Yuguan swallowed.
Empress Hua Jin was swaying foolishly, and the expression on her face made it impossible to tell whether she was crying or laughing.
She stepped barefoot on the bluestone bricks, and the hairpin fell to the ground, cutting the skin on the soles of her feet and leaving blood all over the ground.
"An Lang... An Lang!"
Empress Hua Jin sobbed and cried, and the makeup on her face was all blurred.
The box in his arms fell to the ground, but nothing inside fell out.
"Hua Jin, where is the head of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord? Hand it over now!"
Li Ping said sternly.
"He's not the Demon Lord!" Empress Hua Jin's eyes were bloodshot. "He's An Lang, your brother!"
Hearing this, Li Ping took a step forward and asked, "At this point, you're still not awake?"
"Li An has long been possessed by the devil, bringing disaster to the people. Over the past century, how many innocent souls have been unable to rest in peace because of him?"
"This strange sight in the sky above Kyoto is filled with the aura of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord. Hand over his head immediately!"
Empress Hua Jin hugged the box tightly in her arms and stepped back, leaving a long, glaring trail of blood under her feet.
"No, that's not the case. An Lang is kind-hearted. He must have been framed. It's impossible for him to fall into the devil's way..."
Hua Jin's voice trembled with desperate paranoia.
Lu Yuguan didn't dare to say a word.
He remembered clearly what Wen Lanfeng said at the time.
Li Chongjiu's biological father was definitely possessed by someone else, and he did not fall into the evil path on his own.
During the great war between immortals and demons, Li Ping, as a prince, must have participated in the whole process and must have known the strange things going on.
unless.
He just wants this reversed cause and effect.
"Hua Jin, for the sake of our marriage, I'll ask you one last time," Li Ping looked at her coldly, "hand over your head, or—"
"die."
Empress Hua Jin smiled crazily, her face full of resentment and unwillingness.
"Li Ping!"
"It's been over a hundred years, and you're still so guilty!"
"This Longhua Kingdom clearly does not belong to you!"
"You framed An Lang as a demon cultivator, and demoted Li Le to guard the mausoleum. You're so cruel to your brothers. Is there anything you wouldn't do?"
All the Dragon Guards present were shocked.
Everything I just heard, I am afraid, will rot in my heart for the rest of my life and I will never be able to speak it out.
Li Ping did not refute, but just looked at her quietly.
Hua Jin continued to scream, "You humiliate me again and again, isn't it just to deprive him of everything?"
"You keep saying you love me, but isn't it just so you can sit in that seat with a clear conscience?!"
"Li Ping, your heart has been eaten by dogs. Even if my soul falls into the netherworld, I will definitely expose your crimes!"
Li Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging deep in his eyes, but in an instant, he returned to his cold and deep look.
He snorted coldly and said, "Hua Jin, stop talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong."
"All of this is Li An's own fault. He attempted to dominate Dongxuan with his magic, and countless lives were lost!"
"As the Queen of Longhua Country, shouldn't you be thinking about the people of the world?"
Empress Hua Jin laughed loudly towards the sky. Her shrill laughter echoed in the empty palace courtyard, startling a flock of roosting birds.
"common people?"
"When have you ever truly cared about the people?"
"All you care about is the power in your hands!"
"If you hadn't been behind the scenes plotting this, how could An Lang have been forced into a desperate situation and ended up being surrounded by demonic cultivators?!"
She stared at Li Ping with a sharp gaze, as if she could see through him: "You think you have done it perfectly, but the truth will eventually come out."
"Even if Anlang's head isn't in this box, his wronged spirit won't let you go!"
Empress Hua Jin's face was filled with sorrow.
Li Ping's face was gloomy.
He glanced at the silent Dragon Guards around him and said coldly, "If anyone dares to reveal a word about what happened today, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Empress Hua Jin has been physically and mentally disturbed by the demonic cultivators and has lost her mind. Capture her immediately!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled the Dragon Guards to step forward.
The Dragon Guards looked at each other, and under the leadership of Chen Zizai, they slowly gathered around Empress Hua Jin.
Empress Hua Jin hugged the box tightly, without any fear in her eyes, but instead revealed a sense of determination.
The bloodstains under her feet became increasingly crimson, contrasting with her pale face, like a withered flower in a pool of blood.
However, just when everyone was away from Li Ping, a cold light suddenly flashed across Lu Yuguan's pupils.
A hunched figure suddenly appeared from nowhere and rushed towards Li Ping like a bullet.
"Your Majesty, be careful!——"
