Judging from the direction of the sobbing sound, Queen Lu Ya should be sitting at the head of the bed.
Qi Weihuan ignored her, but stopped near the end of the bed, and then there was a sound of drinking water in big gulps - or rather, drinking wine.
It is no secret that the demon emperor loves wine. Most of the horn tribe like grains, fruits and wine.
After taking a few sips of wine, Qi Weihuan insulted his wife a few more times, all of which were dirty words from the Horn Clan that insulted the Fur Clan. Hearing this, Longhu frowned in displeasure.
It is also well known that the emperor and the empress had a bad relationship.
Lu Ya was born into the White Tiger clan. He is proud and stubborn by nature, and has the "carnivore contempt" that is unique to the Fur Clan for any Horned Clan.
As an emperor, how could Qi Weihuan tolerate his wife's racial discrimination against him?
In addition, it was originally a political marriage and there was no emotional foundation between the two parties, so it would be impossible for the relationship to get good.
No matter how Qi Weihuan insulted her outside, Lu Ya just sobbed and said nothing, as if she simply didn't bother to communicate with him, which made Emperor Qilin even more furious.
Finally, with the help of alcohol, Qi Weihuan rarely lost his composure and roared:
"Tell me, are those two sons and one daughter my Qilin's offspring?"
“How can your majesty say that!” Lu Ya immediately stood up and screamed. There was a hint of panic in her anger, but she quickly covered it up. “When bloodlines of different races come together to give birth to offspring, whose bloodline dominates in the end is determined by the rank!”
"My children are of the White Tiger bloodline in the end. Is this something I can choose? Your Majesty, why don't you ask yourself why your own bloodline is not doing better? If you really want a Qilin offspring, Your Majesty can find a mistress in the Qilin clan and just pretend that I, your queen, don't exist!"
Qi Weihuan was suddenly speechless, because he did secretly keep several mistresses outside, and they had given birth to many illegitimate children.
"Your Majesty?" There was a knock on the door. It was the guards brought by Queen Lu Ya from her mother's home.
"Get out!" Qi Weihuan reacted again and roared.
Having a mistress and being cuckolded are not the same thing, and it is impossible for them to offset each other.
There was no sound outside the door immediately. Under the influence of alcohol, Qi Weihuan did not intend to continue beating around the bush and said directly and viciously:
"Lü Ya...if you really cheated on me, tell me and I will negotiate with your father, divorce you, and let you return to your clan..."
Lu Ya was not moved at all, because she knew that if she admitted it, Qi Weihuan would immediately turn hostile, so she just said sadly as if she had been greatly insulted:
"Although you have treated me harshly since the day we got married, I have always been faithful to my duties and have never done anything that violates the code of conduct for women!"
"If Your Majesty doubts my loyalty, why do you have to force me in this bedroom? It would be better to directly summon all the ministers and officials, make it clear in public, and divorce me as the queen!"
"You, you! You evil woman!" Qi Weihuan was rapidly becoming furious.
At this point, what he could not tolerate the most was that the queen still adopted a condescending attitude when facing his questioning.
Although the content of the words was impeccable, the contempt and arrogance of turning away the head and not looking at him still made Qi Weihuan almost furious and unable to control himself.
"I will kill you, evil woman!" He suddenly jumped up and pushed Lu Ya directly against the wall, making a loud collision sound.
Long Long and Long Hu, who were in the wall cavity, even heard Lu Ya's frightened cough, which sounded like the cough of a chick with its throat strangled.
There was another loud noise outside, as if someone had violently broken open the door, followed by several sounds of metal clashing, and then it stopped abruptly.
After about five or six breaths, a weak groan was heard, followed by Qi Weihuan's weak groan:
"...You, evil woman, poisoned and assassinated..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound behind him gradually became inaudible, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Long Long and Long Hu stood there in shock, feeling almost frightened to death.
The Queen, in her bedroom, murdered the demon emperor? ? !
Suddenly, there was another loud slap, and Queen Lu Ya's suppressed roar of rage:
"You bastard! Who told you to kill him?"
"Your Majesty." The voice of an unfamiliar male guard sounded, "I'm worried that this evil thief will attack you..."
"He has taken my poison and his vitality has long been exhausted. How can he kill me?" Lu Ya slapped him hard again, and Long Long felt pain. "If you had cooperated with me to subdue him, I could have made him report his illness and I could have taken the opportunity to seize power in the government... Such a perfect plan was ruined by you, a bastard!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The sound of something kneeling on the ground was followed by urgent words of persuasion, "The most urgent thing is to conceal your Majesty's death and then find a way out!"
"You bastard, you still advise me to find a way out after all this! Idiot!" Lu Ya kicked him down, paced around the room for a while, and said through gritted teeth, "It's easy to tell if he's alive, but how can I hide it now that he's dead? You bastard!"
After a while, she finally sorted out her thoughts and said viciously:
"Last time I asked you to check for his illegitimate children, didn't I? You must leave the tower immediately and kill his mistress and other illegitimate children! Only leave the youngest child and bring him to the Dragon Tower!"
"You need to do it more cleanly. It's better to disguise it as a mob action. Don't involve me in it! Otherwise, I will make you die miserably!"
The male guard quickly took the order and left in a hurry.
Then, Lu Ya's terrified sobs and desperate and painful shouts could be heard in the bedroom:
"Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly! His Majesty has been assassinated!"
Hearing Lu Ya's hurried cry for help, Long Long immediately realized that he could not delay any longer, and hurriedly pulled Long Hu's hand to leave the wall mezzanine and quickly climbed down from the hole in the floor.
Fortunately, the queen kept calling for help, allowing the two to leave quietly.
Long Long and Long Hu were running wildly in the secret passage, and they heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. It was obvious that a large group of monks were rushing towards the upper floors of the tower.
Running all the way back to the room at the bottom of the Shenlong Tower, Long Long quickly used his divine light and the Five Elements to completely seal the entrance to the passage. After no trace could be seen from the outside, he quickly dragged the carpet over to cover it.
"Long Long, what...what should we do?" Long Hu said in panic, his heart beating as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
So scary!
"Don't be in a hurry." Long Long thought nervously again.
First of all, the death of the emperor would inevitably lead to a power vacuum in the upper echelons of Zhongzhou.
There will definitely be people trying to fill this vacuum, such as the queen who is anxious to find the emperor's illegitimate child, or other Qilin elders who are closely related to Qi Weihuan and have sufficient cultivation, and so on.
So the question is: For the dragon clan, is this change in the situation a blessing or a curse?
