C368 The Murder of Emperor Bao De

At that time, the master of the harem had always wanted to become a virtuous queen. He would always show Yanh Hanbo's articles to Baode Emperor.

Although Baode Emperor was violent and brutal, he still doted on his own woman quite a bit.

Of course, he knew that his queen was ambitious and wanted to become a virtuous empress whose name was left behind in history.

Therefore, even though Baode Emperor hated those poor scholars, in front of his queen, he would still take Yanh Hanbo's article and read it carefully.

Every time at this time, he would praise Yanh Hanbo against his heart.

This made Baode Emperor's queen wife very satisfied.

She felt that the king was not like what the world described. He hated scholars and only used martial artists.

Instead, what the king hated was that he only knew how to speak empty words and did not have any ability.

Even the king admired people like Yanh Hanbo who had the ability.

Baode Emperor's queen was actually very virtuous.

She was very clear that it was abnormal for her to be out of the Political De Imperial Court.

Just relying on the Martial Medallions to rule the world might not be a problem for a short period of time, but as time went on, something big would definitely happen.

Every time she advised Baode Emperor, she would give the scholars a chance when the time was right.

That was why she used Yanh Hanbo's article to advise Baode Emperor.

There was naturally no problem with the queen doing so.

It could even be called a good talk.

However, after Baode Emperor's sudden death, Xiahou Wu went through a secret investigation.

He discovered that Baode Emperor's death was very likely related to Yanh Hanbo's articles.

It did not mean that there was a problem with those articles.

Instead, there was a problem with the paper that recorded the articles.

The paper was coated with a colorless and odorless poison, or rather, these papers were made of those poisonous substances.

This poison was harmless to ordinary people, and even to most cultivators.

However, to body cultivators, especially defensive body cultivators, it was a deadly poison!

This poison could unknowingly corrode the physique cultivated by body cultivators.

Therefore, although Baode Emperor had the Vajra Indestructible Physique, he was smashed to death by a little guard!

This was clearly his Indestructible Diamond Physique, which had unknowingly been completely corroded.

In the beginning, Xiahou Wu had suspected the queen.

After all, the fact that Baode Emperor could be poisoned had something to do with the queen.

However, following the investigation in secret, he eliminated the suspicion of the queen.

Because, after Baode Emperor's funeral, the queen died in love.

Before she died in love, the queen even visited Xiahou Wu, who almost vomited blood and died.

Even Xiahou Wu had to admit that the queen was indeed very wise.

Moreover, she and Baode Emperor were childhood sweethearts, and they had been together for decades.

She wanted to silently help Baode Emperor become the wise ruler of all ages.

Unfortunately, her dream had yet to come true, but Baode Emperor had fallen midway.

Her sorrow was greater than her heart. Without Baode Emperor, she didn't want to live alone anymore.

She knew that although Xiahou Wu and Baode Emperor were called emperors and ministers, they were actually close friends who appreciated each other.

The queen asked Xiahou Wu to continue assisting the new king on behalf of the late king.

At the same time, the queen also advised Xiahou Wu not to hate scholars anymore.

Although there were indeed many scholars who misspoke about the people of the country, there were also many capable officials who managed the country.

Furthermore, in order to convince Xiahou Wu, the queen even used the two factions of civil and military, just like the legs of a human.

Relying solely on generals to rule the country was undoubtedly using one leg to walk.

This was not a long-term solution.

What truly allowed Chi Sheng to stand firm was the harmony between civil and military officials.

There was no faction that could suppress which faction!

As long as the civil and military officials worked together, the civil servants would not be greedy, and the generals would not be afraid of death. Chi Sheng would be able to return to his peak and shine with the glory he deserved!

Xiahou Wu was convinced by the queen.

In fact, he was not an unreasonable person.

All the civil servants he knew were disgusting.

This caused him to hate the civil servants to the extreme.

But in reality, before Xiahou Wu stepped into the Imperial Court, he actually respected the scholar quite a bit.

Because he didn't have much culture, he had always respected talented scholars.

It was just that later on, this concept changed.

Too many civil servants in the court disappointed him until he lost all hope.

After a detailed discussion with Xiahou Wu, the queen returned not long after and died in love.

After Xiahou Wu knew, he was sad for a long time.

So, he eliminated the suspicion of the queen.

He did not believe that this virtuous queen would be the culprit behind Baode Emperor's death.

Obviously, she did not know that the paper that recorded Yanh Hanbo's article would be fatal.

Following Xiahou Wu's investigation, the spearhead gradually pointed to a palace maid called Ji Mo.

This palace maid had once been bestowed a surname by Baode Emperor because she had saved the queen's life.

Although Ji Mo was called a palace maid, no matter if it was Baode Emperor or the queen, they all treated her as her younger sister.

She did not live in the palace, there was a mansion that Baode Emperor gave to her outside the palace.

But she could enter the palace at any time to visit the queen and Baode Emperor.

Of course, every time she entered the palace, it was under the banner of visiting the queen.

But in reality, she could meet Baode Emperor every time.

This woman seemed to have a very good impression of Baode Emperor. The affection between men and women was not like siblings.

It was a pity that Baode Emperor was a bit stubborn.

He had a very good relationship with the queen. At that time, there were still a few concubines in the palace.

It was just that Baode Emperor had never pampered them.

Even the concubines were like this, let alone Ji Mo.

In reality, even until Baode Emperor died, he probably did not know that Ji Mo was interested in him.

And Ji Mo played an extremely crucial role in the entire matter.

Why would the queen know about the Virtuous Paragon, Yanh Hanbo, who was thousands of miles away?

It was Ji Mo who told her.

She was also the one who brought Yanh Hanbo's articles to the palace master and gave them to the queen.

Through his investigation, Xiahou Wu found that Ji Mo had a very close relationship with a scholar named Chi Ruan Fan.

Chi Ruan Fan was an out-and-out gigolo.

His appearance and temperament were somewhat similar to Baode Emperor.

However, he did not have the fierceness that came from Baode Emperor's bones.

All in all, this fellow was a castrated Baode Emperor.

Ji Mo seemed to "fall in love at first sight" with Chi Ruan Fan. She secretly raised Chi Ruan Fan in the mansion.

As for why she raised him?

No one knew.

But Chi Ruan Fan's identity was very strange.

He was Yanh Hanbo's little brother, Guan Guande's teacher, an in-name disciple.

In terms of status, he was Guan Guande's junior brother.

It was just that Guan Guande was an in-house disciple, while Chi Ruan Fan was an in-name disciple. There was a gap between their statuses.

Furthermore, Chi Ruan Fan's character was not good.

When he was studying, not only did he not study well, but he also did not study well.

On the contrary, she attracted the attention of the female students.2

When Guan Guande's teacher knew about this, he was extremely furious and wanted to expel Chi Ruan Fan on the spot.

This matter was later found out by Guan Guande.

Under his persuasion, his teacher exempted Chi Ruan Fan from being expelled from the sect.

Instead, he was sent to Guan Guande's side to be used.

Therefore, this Chi Ruan Fan, who was called Guan Guande's junior brother, was actually similar to his junior brother.

The kind that was driven by Guan Guande to run around.

This guy was caught later on.

After being secretly captured by Xiahou Wu and interrogated by him, he said everything.

The matter of the paper came from Guan Guande.

As for the poison in the paper, Chi Ruan Fan didn't know.

In fact, he... didn't know anything.

He was just a messenger in charge of passing the article to Ji Mo.

As for what Guan Guande and the others wanted to do, he was confused.

In order to gain Xiahou Wu's trust, this guy even told him about him and Ji Mo.

In his words, Ji Mo was also an abnormal and crazy woman.

He originally thought that he would become Ji Mo's face once he entered Ji Mo's eyes, and live a life of lying down and winning.

But who would have thought that after Ji Mo raised him up in the residence, he would never have any relationship with him?

Only when Ji Mo was in a good mood or was in a bad mood.

She would choose to play husband and wife with Chi Ruan Fan.

She would cook for Chi Ruan Fan like a little wife, wash her clothes, and talk to him.

Every time this happened, Chi Ruan would be in pain and happy days.

On one hand, he felt that Ji Mo was really like his little wife, loving him, and not pretending at all.

On the other hand, he could not even touch Ji Mo.

If he did anything overboard, Ji Mo would immediately slap him.

He would even mock him. Don't push your luck. You're too soft. You don't look like him at all.

Chi Ruan Fan did not know who that was.

But he was deeply jealous of him.
