Chapter 432: The Great Conspiracy
Nie Tian and Hu Xiaoli met for the first time. Although they had not spoken yet, they were wary of each other.
Nie Tian was wary of Hu Xiaoli's Eye of Xihen, while Hu Xiaoli was wary of the star power in his body.
At this moment, Weng Haorui and Weng Haoxuan became complete supporting roles, and even Yao Feike, the master of spiritual formations, was ignored.
"Did my brother forget?" Weng Haoxuan smiled faintly. With Yao Feike by his side, he was not panicked and said, "I have a golden dragon token given by my father, and I can enter the palace at any time."
As he said that, he took out a golden dragon-carved token and shook it in front of Weng Haorui, showing a provocative attitude.
"Hmm?" Weng Haorui's face immediately turned gloomy, and he pointed at Yao Feike and Nie Tian and said, "Even if you can see His Majesty, what about the two of them? Do you know who Nie Tian behind you is?"
Weng Haoxuan did not give in, and said, "Who is City Lord Nie Tian? I think my brother must know better than me."
"Weng Haoxuan, what do you mean by this?" Weng Haorui could not sit still immediately and stood up.
"Nothing." Weng Haoxuan replied indifferently.
"Your Highness, your face has recovered so quickly. It can't be a fake face, right?" At this time, before Weng Haorui could speak again, Nie Tian stood up, staring at him with a pair of eyes, revealing a strange light.
Weng Haorui had his face cut off by Nie Tian the day before yesterday, but after only two days, he was able to recover as usual. Even a sixth-level elixir might not be able to do it.
At the same time, Nie Tian had doubts about Weng Haorui's identity. He said that the latter's face was fake, which was actually a test.
At this moment, Nie Tian had a bold guess in his heart: Maybe the Weng Haorui in front of him was fake!
Gu Wuyou had said before that although Weng Haorui had mediocre martial arts talent, he was very scheming and won the support of all parties.
Even if Weng Haorui became the prince and became self-inflated, he would not become so stupid.
Since Weng Haorui's face returned to its original state within two days, why couldn't his face be fake?
Thinking of this, Nie Tian felt more and more likely.
"Nie Tian, you..." Weng Haorui's scar was picked up, and his eyes became fierce. Just as he was about to get angry, he was stopped by Hu Xiaoli beside him.
Hu Xiaoli signaled Weng Haorui not to speak anymore. This guy was too stupid. If he was allowed to talk to Nie Tian a few more words, he might really be exposed.
But what she didn't know was that Nie Tian had already had some doubts at this time.
Hu Xiaoli didn't look at Nie Tian this time, but instead focused on Yao Feike. She noticed the latter's strength and the fifth-level protective spirit formation he carried with him, and her eyes were slightly surprised.
She had long known that Weng Haoxuan's mother had a senior brother who was a master of spiritual formations, so she had guessed Yao Feike's identity. She smiled faintly and said, "I guess this is Mr. Yao Feike, the third master of spiritual formations on the list of masters of spiritual formations, right?"
Yao Feike's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly and said, "Master National Master, you are too kind. I don't deserve it."
Yao Feike's mental power reached an astonishing level of 65, and his own strength was also at the ninth level of true essence. He could see at a glance that Hu Xiaoli's strength was at the ninth level of true essence, and there was a tendency to break through the Divine Wheel Realm, but it seemed that she was suppressed by some force, making it impossible for her to break through.
Yao Feike could even sense that the power that suppressed Hu Xiaoli's breakthrough was concentrated in her brow. It was an extremely terrifying power, like a wild beast trapped in a cage. Once it broke out of the cage, it would be earth-shattering.
However, Yao Feike could not see that the center of Hu Xiaoli's brow was the legendary Eye of Xihen.
Hu Xiaoli chuckled, exuding an evil aura, and said: "It is said that Master Yao Feike is indifferent to fame and fortune and hates worldly disputes. I didn't expect that he would come to this palace. It's really curious."
Facing the naked sarcasm, Yao Feike was indifferent and said: "I was entrusted by someone to protect the safety of His Royal Highness Xuan Wang."
"Entrusted by someone?" Hu Xiaoli smiled strangely and said: "Could it be entrusted by Empress Jingfei?"
Yao Feike was not pretentious and said directly: "Since the national teacher already knows, why bother asking."
Hun Xiaoli smiled again and said: "Does Mr. Yao think that His Royal Highness Xuan Wang will be in danger when he comes to the palace?"
Yao Feike replied: "It's always better to be cautious."
Although the conversation between Hu Xiaoli and Yao Feike seemed plain, the latter's answers were always flawless. From this, it can be seen that Yao Feike is not as simple as he seems on the surface. He is definitely a very scheming person.
Hu Xiaoli no longer cares about Yao Feike. Anyway, she has no intention of killing Weng Haoxuan.
"City Lord Nie Tian." Hu Xiaoli looked at Nie Tian, but her tone was surprisingly calm, and she said: "His Royal Highness Xuan Wang wanted to see His Majesty for no reason, it must be because of your request."
"That's right." Nie Tian smiled faintly, and did not deny it.
"I don't know why City Lord Nie Tian wanted to see His Majesty?" Hu Xiaoli asked faintly.
"Plead guilty." Nie Tian replied.
"Plead guilty?" Hu Xiaoli was stunned, obviously a little surprised by Nie Tian's answer.
Nie Tian smiled and said: "I killed a person, broke into the Tianlao of Da Chu, and made a big fuss in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Wanchun Courtyard. Shouldn't I plead guilty?"
"Nie Tian, you shouldn't plead guilty, you should plead to die!" Weng Haorui heard Nie Tian talk about these things calmly, and the tone was not a tone of pleading guilty, but clearly provoking him. He stood up and roared in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Hu Xiaoli turned coldly and glared at Weng Haorui fiercely. The latter's face turned cold and he shivered.
Nie Tian saw this scene and smiled faintly: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very afraid of the State Master."
Weng Haorui was completely a submissive little sheep in front of Hu Xiaoli. This made Nie Tian a little strange.
Logically speaking, Weng Haorui and Hu Xiaoli should have a monarch-minister relationship. But looking at this scene, the relationship between the two is completely reversed. It seems that Hu Xiaoli is the master, and Weng Haorui is her slave.
"City Lord Nie Tian is joking." Hu Xiaoli immediately realized something and smiled faintly: "The Crown Prince is young and needs to be disciplined. The State Master is just fulfilling the responsibilities of a minister."
Nie Tian nodded and smiled, and didn't say anything, but he confirmed his guess in his heart: Weng Haorui is very likely to be a fake crown prince!
Weng Haorui's true identity may be just a pawn of Hu Xiaoli.
As for the real Weng Haorui, he must be dead.
Although it is rare to change one's appearance, such a method is not impossible.
Weng Haorui's face is gone, and he will be able to return to normal within two days. Changing his appearance is not a difficult task for him.
Nie Tian stared at Hu Xiaoli and said in his heart: "Master National Master, it seems that you are brewing a big conspiracy."
"City Lord Nie Tian, if you are only asking for forgiveness when you see His Majesty, then there is no need. This national master can pardon you on behalf of His Majesty." At this time, Hu Xiaoli looked at Nie Tian and said lightly.
"Oh?" Nie Tian smiled lightly and said: "You are just the national master of Da Chu. Do you have the power to pardon on behalf of the emperor?"
"Master National Master, you just said something so generous. You actually pardoned on behalf of His Majesty. Do you think you are the emperor of Da Chu?" Weng Haoxuan's face also sank at this moment, and he said unceremoniously.
