Li Tianyan thought for a while and then said, “The concubine is actually not a human race but a beast on Qiluan Mountain that was transformed by chance.”
“Dr. Li, are you saying that the woman is a demon?” Zhao Shengyu asked Li Tianyan with a shocked look on his face. He had always thought that demons were made up by human tale and they didn’t exist. Beasts were beasts, so how could they become humans?
Li Tianyan nodded, “If I guessed correctly, her true body should have been a python. Due to fate, it not only transformed into a human body but also had a trace of true dragon blood in its body. Unfortunately, its heels and feet are really bad. This trace of true dragon blood is not enough for it to turn into a dragon.”
Li Tianyan said and turned to look at Zhao Shengyu. After removing the curse, the true dragon’s energy in the prince’s Yintang had gradually been revealed, he continued, “If she wants to turn into a dragon, she needs to get a drop of dragon blood, but the dragon can’t be found, so the royal family that rules the world has become her target. I guess the true dragon energy in your father’s body has been almost replenished by her, and you are the next target.”
So, when Zhao Shengyu conspired to seize the throne, the woman didn’t kill Zhao Shengyu because he was still useful for her. She cursed him because she wanted to teach him a lesson and let him stay inside the mansion peacefully.
Zhao Shengyu also quickly understood. Thinking that he was once a dignified prince, but was raised like a pet by a snake demon, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed, “The bold evil beast, how dare she…”
Because of his anger, veins popped up on his clenched fists, and then he thought about what Li Tianyan said about his father, “Doctor Li, can my father be saved? How can we get rid of this snake demon?”
In recent years, his father had become more stupid and unscrupulous. Zhao Shengyu had long been disappointed with his father’s actions. It was not until he was cursed by the evil concubine that he suddenly realized, his father might also be deceived by the concubine’s methods, but the snake demonic ability was so powerful that no one in Zidong Kingdom could be her opponent.
“Your father has been with the snake demon for too long, and he has probably been deeply invaded by evil energy. We will see later if he can be saved. As for getting rid of the snake demon, I have a way, but I still need your highness’s cooperation.” Li Tianyan hooked his fingers at Zhao Shengyu and whispered a few words in his ear.
It was not difficult to deal with the snake demon, but there were so many people in the Imperial City who were caught by her and they had to prevent her from escaping. Therefore, if they wanted to take action, they must be fully prepared to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Hearing Li Tianyan’s plan, Zhao Shengyu’s deep eyes flashed with a dark light. After a moment, he nodded resolutely, “I will go to the palace to attend the banquet tomorrow night. Doctor Li will go with me.”
Zhao Shengyu wanted to take him into the palace tomorrow night to take a look at his father’s current situation. But what he didn’t know was, Li Tianyan could enter and exit the palace as he please without anyone knowing,
“Night banquet? Is tomorrow a special day?” Li Tianyan did not refuse immediately but asked a little strangely.
Zhao Shengyu said with a wry smile, “Since Concubine Li entered the palace, various banquets of various sizes have been held in the palace from time to time. Now there is a night banquet almost every two days.”
After hearing this, Li Tianyan suddenly thought about it. Then he nodded and agreed, “We will go with you tomorrow night.”
After the two done discussing the plan, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi returned to the room where they were staying temporarily.
.
As soon as Cheng Qi entered the room, he couldn’t help but ask, “Young master, are we still going tonight?”
They originally planned to visit the palace tonight, but it seemed they didn’t need to now.
“Go, let’s go to Jiantian Pavilion tonight.” Li Tianyan wanted to go to the altar, the Taoist priests should be gone by now. It was a good opportunity to meet the fake cultivator.
Cheng Qi’s eyes couldn’t help but light up when he heard about Jiantian Pavilion. It seemed that the young master was ready to attack the cultivator.
At night, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi quietly left the Prince’s Mansion and fled all the way toward the palace. At this time, the Imperial City was completely silent, and there were no traces of pedestrians on the streets. The Prince’s Mansion was not far from the palace, the two quickly climbed over the towering wall and entered the palace.
Jiantian Pavilion was located in the outer courtyard of the palace. Tan Eyu had already been here once last night. Today, with her leading the way, the two of them found the place easily. However, before they got close, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi first noticed that there was a very strong heavy resentment around the place, and a layer of dark clouds covered with gloomy energy hung over the sky above Jiantian Pavilion.
Tan Eyu stared in the direction of Jiantian Pavilion and suddenly licked the corner of her lips, “Oh, it’s the smell of ghosts.”
