Gao Quan stared at her coldly. "Concubine Xian, shut up quickly. You're already a beauty who brings disaster. What's so great about you?"
"You shut up!" Su Qingwen blushed slightly, looking extremely embarrassed. "I'm not a beauty who brings disaster."
"Why not?" Gao Quan strode forward and stared directly into her eyes. "Think about it. Didn't the emperor neglect state affairs for you?"
"You're really distorting the truth." Su Qingwen was so angry that her body trembled. Hua Yueye had clearly released that as a smokescreen to annihilate the enemy, but unexpectedly, Gao Quan had slandered it like this. It was really too much.
"Humph. Look at you. You're just a woman, yet you dare to comment on state affairs in the court. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Gao Quan continued.
"Eunuch Gao, no matter what, killing someone in front of me is such a bloody thing. Isn't that absurd?" At this moment, Hua Yueye naturally stood up to defend Su Qingwen. He clenched his fists tightly and stared coldly at Gao Quan.
"Your Majesty, you're wrong. I was just protecting you. Who knows if this Tuobajun had any harmful intentions? Moreover, this sword wasn't brought up by me. It's the sword of the sword - carrying guard." Gao Quan sneered and looked meaningfully at Hua Yueye, his eyes full of pride.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen opened her eyes wide, feeling extremely angry. She had never seen this sword - carrying guard on normal days. It was such a coincidence that he appeared here. There must be something fishy going on. He might even be in cahoots with Gao Quan.
"Eunuch Gao, if there's anyone who's shameless, it's you." Crossing her arms, Su Qingwen snorted and mocked.
Gao Quan's face instantly turned cold. He stared at Su Qingwen gnashing his teeth and continued, "Concubine Xian, you should have heard what I said just now. Now, you're a disaster. You just didn't die last time, but the common people still hold grudges against you. Don't act so arrogantly here."
Saying that, he glanced back at the civil and military officials behind him, and his face became even colder.
Those people immediately understood and knelt down one after another. "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao is right. Concubine Xian is just a minor concubine, not the queen, yet she's so bold and reckless. It's really unconvincing. If the common people find out, there might be chaos."
"Yes. Let Concubine Xian leave. She's a demon."
"Please think twice, Your Majesty."
These people didn't know anything at all but just echoed on the side. Su Qingwen was extremely angry. Her eyes were slightly red, and her face paled involuntarily. Then she clenched her fists. "Fine. Do you all want me to leave? Then I'll leave!"
Leaving this sentence behind, Su Qingwen quickly rushed out of the room.
Gao Quan's scheme had succeeded. He smiled satisfactorily, his eyes full of pride.
Hua Yueye looked down at Tuobajun's body on the ground. His face was ashen as he waved his hand. "Someone, carry Tuobajun's body away and release his clan members."
"Your Majesty, don't you know the saying 'cut the grass and dig out the roots'?" Gao Quan stepped forward. "I think we should kill all his clan members to avoid future troubles."
"No." Hua Yueye lowered his head, looking disgusted. "I've already promised him that I won't harm the people of the Qiangdi clan. A king never goes back on his word. Don't say anything more."
Saying that, he flicked his sleeve and strode away.
Gao Quan nodded contentedly. It was just right. Anyway, he was safe now. Hua Yueye couldn't come up with any other excuse to punish him. In a great mood, he quickly walked out.
Meanwhile, Hua Yueye was standing on a high place looking at Gao Quan. His face was very ugly. The black - clothed man beside him felt the cold aura around Hua Yueye and subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to say much.
"Did Gao Quan meet anyone?" Hua Yueye thought carefully. Gao Quan was a person who loved to take credit and was flamboyant. Today's incident was obviously a well - planned one. Gao Quan alone would never have thought of so many things. He must have been instructed by someone.
"The regent went to see him once." The black - clothed man said.
"So that's it. My good adoptive father is really resourceful." Hua Yueye thought intently, his smile full of sarcasm.
"Your Majesty, since that's the case, why don't we send someone to assassinate Gao Quan to avoid future troubles?" A fierce look of killing flashed in the man's eyes as he made the suggestion.
"Not yet." Hua Yueye shook his head. It wasn't impossible to kill Gao Quan, but Gao Quan was just a scapegoat. He wasn't the real mastermind behind the scenes. Killing him would be meaningless. It was better to keep Gao Quan to continue restraining the King of Rui.
"Gao Quan's influence has spread throughout the court. As long as he says something, someone will echo. So I can't act rashly for now. Forget it. Keep him for now and we'll talk about it later." Hua Yueye narrowed his eyes and had a plan in mind. Perhaps it wasn't the right time for him to expose his strength. It was better to wait until Gao Quan let his guard down before making a move.
"Yes." The black - clothed man nodded, his expression solemn as he agreed.
"By the way, how's the body of Luomo?" Hua Yueye suddenly remembered this and turned to ask.
"The fake body of Luomo has been delivered. I believe the King of Rui will take action soon." The black - clothed man sneered. "He's been waiting for so long. He must be impatient."
"Good. Just follow the plan. Go down." Hua Yueye waved his hand gently.
Hearing this, the black - clothed man quickly disappeared into the night.
I wonder how Su Qingwen is? Thinking of what happened in the court today, Hua Yueye couldn't help but look forward worriedly, his eyes helpless.
Little did he know that at this moment, Su Qingwen was throwing the pillow on the ground, out of breath. "This Gao Quan is too bad. How could he slander me like this!"
[System: Honey, control yourself. You know your health value is only 70% now. If you get angry like this again, it might affect your body.]
"You're right." Su Qingwen took a long breath, trying hard to calm her mood. However, she still felt extremely indignant. Then she clenched her fists and said, "Anyway, I'm still very angry. I definitely won't let him go!"
[System: By the way, don't you have the invisibility skill? It will expire in three days. In that case, why not use it now?]
Oh right. If it weren't for the system's reminder, Su Qingwen would have almost forgotten about it.
