Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 1003: Zhang Ronghua’s Ultimate Kill

Pei Caihua walked out of the line and bowed. His words were sharp and each word was like a knife.” You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. You are the Imperial Censor, in charge of the Imperial Censorate. You have to be responsible for your words and deeds.”

Du Chengming held his head high and puffed out his chest. He had never been as proud as he was now. He ignored Pei Caicai’s sharp gaze and arrogantly swept his gaze around. He was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He turned around and looked at the Emperor. He said again,” I have conclusive evidence!”

Emperor Xia was expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking from his face. Su Qiutang had secretly left the palace last night and had received the news immediately. However, she did not know where she had gone. From the looks of it, she must have been secretly plotting something to take down Zhang Ronghua. Her majestic voice rang out,” Bring it up!”

Du Chengming took out a voice recording stone from his bosom and held it in his hand. Wei Shang came down from the imperial platform and returned with it again. He injected a bit of true essence into it, and under the gazes of all the officials, the image was displayed.

In a secret courtyard.

It was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There was no one guarding the outside, but there were countless experts inside. There was even an array formation set up to protect it.

In the study room.

There were only two guards. They were dressed in black robes and wore black-gold masks, revealing only their eyes. Just by looking at the image, one could feel the cold aura they emitted. They were like the rulers of death, and their eyes could kill.

In the hall.

A young woman was wearing a luxurious purple dress. Her three thousand strands of hair fell loosely on her shoulders. She wore expensive hairpins, earrings, and jade bracelets. She was covered with a pale white veil that was translucent. From the outline of her face, one could vaguely see her exquisite facial features. She casually sat there and gave off a noble aura.

Some of the officials present recognized her, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. The woman in the picture was none other than the ninth princess of the Shang Dynasty, Shang Qingxuan.

He held the teacup in his left hand and the lid in his right hand.

A man in black stood opposite him. His face was covered and his body was bent. He had a respectful expression on his face and his voice was slightly sharp, making people uncomfortable.” Greetings, Your Highness!”

” Where’s Qing Lin?” the Ninth Princess asked. Her voice was soft, but it contained great pressure.

The man in black said,” The city is in chaos now. Du Chengming is sending people to collect evidence to avoid unnecessary trouble. Master asked me to come over.”

The Ninth Princess’s beautiful eyes turned cold as she glanced at him.

It was just a gaze, but it seemed to penetrate his heart and cause great pressure.

The man in black knelt down on one knee and lowered his head. He looked even more humble.” Please calm down!”

“Humph!” The Ninth Princess snorted.

The atmosphere was cold, as if they were in a ten-thousand-year-old snow mountain.

“Did he forget? If I didn’t order Primordial Origin Demon God to help me secretly, would I have achieved what I have today? Back in the Eastern Palace, Xia Shimin had ordered him to do something. With his cultivation, how could he complete the task? Also, in the Scholar Hall, without the information we provide, can you gain a firm foothold and open up the situation again? This includes the Legend of the Celestial Emperor, which I ordered the Great Scholar to compile in secret and hand over to him after it’s done. Otherwise, how could a mere general like him complete the task of a team?”

The more he spoke, the harsher he became.

” Three years ago, this Queen sneaked into the capital of the Xia Dynasty and happened to meet him in dire straits. Seeing that he had some talent, this Queen extended an olive branch to him. That night, he came to see this Queen and swore his loyalty to be this Queen’s informant to obtain the secrets of the Xia Dynasty. This Queen then provided help to let him climb higher. This Queen originally wanted to use pills or slave seals to control him, but considering that there were countless experts in the Eastern Palace and that his status would increase, this Queen gave up. He didn’t let me down and seized every opportunity to climb up. Now, he’s a rank three high official. After some time, the Primordial Demon God will find evidence of Du Chengming’s crimes and take him down. Then, he will be able to take another step forward and control even more power.”

At this point.

The Ninth Princess’s gaze became more and more severe. The pressure of a person who had been in power for a long time suppressed the black-robed man until he did not dare to breathe loudly and lowered his head even more.

” However, he shouldn’t have developed the Flame Thunder Pearl and 197 items in the Spirit Research Department just to get promoted. Among them, there were even powerful spiritual items. The battle at Gu Po Town caused us to suffer heavy losses. Our carefully prepared plan was destroyed, and countless soldiers were killed. Then, the Xia Dynasty’s army went deep into the city, killing and looting, causing us to suffer even greater losses!”

Bang!

She slammed her hand down and the table was destroyed. The Ninth Princess ‘voice was even colder. She seemed to be gritting her teeth and hiding a terrifying killing intent.

” If he had sent us the news beforehand, we wouldn’t have been so passive if we were prepared!”

The black-robed man trembled in fear and trepidation.” Master also has his own difficulties. He doesn’t know that Ancient Slope Town is at war. If he knew, he would definitely have spread the news ahead of time.”

“Is that so?” The Ninth Princess smiled sarcastically.

“Have you brought the formulas for the Flamespark Pearl and the 197 items?”

The man in black was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He wet the cloth on his face and hurriedly explained,” A while ago, the Ministry of Works had a huge change. There was almost a big change. Even Shi Delong and Yan Lihua fell. The confidentiality plan they made was even stricter. They couldn’t contact the outside world. Once these things were leaked, Du Chengming would definitely associate them with Master. At that time, Master would be in danger!”

The Ninth Princess stood up from her chair coldly and kicked him on the head. The man in black fell to the ground. She put her hands behind her back and suppressed her anger. It seemed that she was on the verge of exploding.” Do you really think I didn’t prepare anything?” If he wants to die, bengong will order someone to give the item to Du Chengming!”
