The next morning, Zhongli got up from Lu Yuan's bed, looking depressed.

Lingxi has people who support him, so he is not afraid of himself anymore. He takes people to his bed without his consent.

Lu Yuan also looked at Zhongli with a sympathy, shook his head and said nothing.

After having breakfast, Zhongli went out, and Zhong Yun's car was waiting at the door.

He got on the carriage and greeted his father. Zhongli closed his eyes and rested.

Today, Zhongli's face was still so pale. For some reason, he returned home and took the elixir, but he didn't see much improvement.

Zhong Yun sighed and said nothing.

The car quickly arrived in front of the palace gate. Zhong Yun and Zhongli got out of the car, got up early and went to court, and had to walk into the palace.

At this moment, many officials gathered at the palace gate and walked towards the palace together.

Zhongli held his father and walked on the wide steps. After walking through level 108, he was the palace where the emperor went to court and the Yong'an Palace.

The officials entered the Yong'an Hall and stood in the order of their official positions. Zhongli stood at the last position. He had no official position and followed his father into the court.

Soon, the emperor walked into the hall wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown, and sat in the front seat.

The ministers knelt down and bowed.

"All my beloveds are calm." The emperor said expressionlessly.

When Zhongli stood up, he glanced at the prince in the front row of his right front, while Zhao An was also standing at the end, not far from him.

"Do you have something to report today?" The emperor's voice seemed a little tired.

The ministers each stated some of the memorials, but the prince did not speak out.

Finally, after everyone else retreated, the prince slowly stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, my son and minister have something to report!"

The emperor responded.

The prince continued: "The son-in-law led his army to fight, defeated the demon clan and killed the demon clan's real name, all of which were above the flow path."

There was a burst of cheers in the court, and many ministers cheered the prince.

"However, in this battle, some people caused our army to suffer tragic deaths of thousands of soldiers in our army. My son believes that this person should be punished for death!"

The prince suddenly turned cold and shouted sternly.

There was another noise.

Zhongli sneered inwardly. The prince's move is really not a clever one.

"Oh? Who is the person in the army you said to be in trouble?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, but his expression was not surprised at all.

"It is the son of the right prime minister, Zhongli!" the prince said loudly.

In the court, almost everyone's eyes instantly condensed on Zhongli, who was standing at the end.

"Zhongli, do you have something to say?" The emperor's voice was still calm, he looked down at the desk and asked.

Zhongli walked forward, bent down and bowed, and said, "What the Crown Prince said just now is really nonsense. I have not done anything to hurt the soldiers. I think there must be a misunderstanding here!"

"Hmph, Zhongli, you are still quibbling. Even if you are so clever, you can't change it in front of the ironclad evidence!" said the prince disdainfully.

"Oh? I don't know what evidence your highness has to prove that I had killed someone?" Zhongli laughed, "I was unable to practice since I was a child and had no cultivation. How could I kill thousands of soldiers?"

"How can I have falsehood when I see it with my own eyes?"

"Since your highness has seen it with his own eyes, why don't he stop it? With the body of Weichen, can he destroy thousands of people in an instant?" Zhongli smiled, and he really didn't expect that the prince would really talk about this matter.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhong has a bad memory. How can there be fakes when countless soldiers and generals in the camp see with their own eyes?" At this time, Zhao An stood up and said sarcastically.

"Why would you say, Mr. Zhao, how did I kill these thousands of people?" Zhongli looked back at Zhao An and said slowly.

"Hmph, have you forgotten what you have done yourself so soon? Then I'll talk about it for you." Zhao An snorted.

Instead, Zhao An talked about the situation on the battlefield that day.

After hearing this, everyone in the court looked at each other. Almost everyone was a little scared when they heard Zhao An telling the strange black shadow. Most of the people in the court were cultivators, but they had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

"This... Zhao An, what you said is the facts!" The question was Zhao Zheng, the father of the left prime minister of the dynasty, who was Zhao An.

"Everything that child said is true!" Zhao An bowed and replied, turned around and looked at Zhongli, "Zhongli, what do you have to say now?"

Zhongli smiled, glanced at Zhao An, turned to face the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I did release the treasure given to me by my father at that time. It was a time of life and death, and I didn't think much about it."

"After using the treasure, Weichen was exhausted and fell into a coma. I don't know what happened next! Zhao An wanted to frame me, and his heart would be punished!"

The emperor frowned and thought deeply. Thousands of soldiers died because of their own people. This was not a trivial matter, but what Zhongli said was nothing wrong. If it was really the ability given by the treasure given to him by Zhong Yun, he fainted after being released, and there was no way to control these things.

"Okay, let's get here in advance, and then find out the truth before making plans!" The emperor waved his hand and stopped the argument between the two sides.

The prince's face was still a little unwilling, but the emperor spoke, but he could not say anything.

No one reported the report anymore, and the emperor briefly said something and then shut down all the ministers.

"Zhong Aiqing, Zhongli, you two stay." The emperor said lightly.

Zhong Yun and Zhongli received the order. The prince walked past Zhongli and snorted heavily.

Zhongli saluted the prince with a calm expression.

"Zhongli, you've got a lot of trouble for me when you go out!" After the others left, the emperor looked at Zhongli and said, with dissatisfaction in his tone.

Zhongli bowed down and said respectfully: "I don't dare."

"Hmph, what are you afraid of??" The emperor snorted.

Zhongli bowed without saying a word.

The emperor stared at Zhongli, looked for a moment, and sighed.

"What do you want to do, do you think I don't know?" After a moment, the emperor continued, "I can guess that it is related to Wu Xuan. I don't want to interfere in these things. I am worried that in a hundred years, the court will be in chaos!"

Zhongli was shocked. He did not expect that the emperor would talk about this matter in front of him and his father.

"Your Majesty is so serious, Your Majesty is healthy..."

"Okay, I don't want to hear these words! This time, Wu Xiao led his troops to wipe out the demon clan, it was the ability of this kid to take the school exam. Hehe, he is still far from it!" The emperor smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

Zhong Li Buyan, no matter what he said at this moment, it was not appropriate.

The emperor didn't expect Zhongli to reply. He glanced at Zhongli and sneered: "Boy, your body hasn't recovered yet? It's not that material, why bother joining in the fun!"

After saying that, the emperor ordered the eunuch to take two chairs over.

Zhong Yun and Zhongli thanked each other and sat down.

"I know what my two sons look like. The prince is ambitious and wishes that I would give way soon. Wu Xuan is also eyeing him." The emperor continued to tell.

"It's a pity that both of them are not mature enough. How can I feel at ease to hand over this country to them?"

"Wu Xiao has learned some superficial skills, knows to win over others, but does not make friends with others sincerely; Wu Xuan has learned to keep a low profile, but he can't help it at critical moments!" The emperor said, with a very ironic meaning.

Zhongli and Zhong Yun looked at each other without saying a word, waiting for the emperor to continue speaking.

"It's a pity that I don't have much time!" The emperor sighed.

"Because of this, I need you to help my two sons grow up quickly. Whoever can firmly sit in this country will naturally belong to the throne."

Zhong Li felt awe-inspiring in his heart. Unexpectedly, the emperor had already had this idea. He didn't care about the two princes' struggle at all!

"But I also want to confirm the loyalty of my ministers. You guys, I don't care about intrigue, but killing people is a bit over!" The emperor glanced at Zhongli deeply.

Zhongli had no expression on his face and knew in his heart what the emperor was talking about at this time.

"Don't you want to give me an explanation for the death of Li Zhen and his son?" the emperor said lightly, his eyes wandering up and down Zhongli.

"I don't know..." Zhongli wanted to let go, but was interrupted by the emperor again.

"I am the only one who is here, you, your father and son, don't tell me these false things, tell the truth!"

Zhongli had no choice but to tell the story of that Ye and Chen Jin and others again.

"That black shadow is really transformed by the treasure your father gave you?" After hearing this, the emperor looked at Zhongli suspiciously.

Zhongli hesitated for a moment.
