I went crazy after dressing as a villainous tyrant

In the early morning of the next day, Jinghua Palace was deserted.

There was a loud coughing sound from behind the screen. Ye Xiuran, who had been tossing and turning in the middle of the night, suddenly opened his eyes and saw the woman who appeared here at some time. He felt the danger and instinctively wanted to take action. But when he saw the woman's face clearly, he lost his voice and said:
"Master, why are you here?"

Chi Li, who had changed into a court lady's attire, had stood in front of his bed at some point, her very charming face was filled with a bit of breathtaking coldness, she looked down at the disciple she had taught herself, and said : "Why, can't you come as a teacher?"

"Of course." Ye Xiuran, who was weak, could hear the meaning of asking for guilt in these words very keenly. He didn't dare to neglect, and was about to come down to salute immediately, but Chi Li grabbed his wrist without any trace. He took a pulse for him and said: "The injury is so serious, there is no need to get up."

Ye Xiuran could sense the strangeness of his master, but seeing that something was wrong and the other party didn't directly point it out, he naturally acted as if nothing had happened, and said with a look of shame on his face:
"Since I went to Kunyi Palace that day to test the strength of the queen Feng Jin's martial arts, my apprentice's injuries have not healed, so I have to put aside many things. It is my fault for not being able to share my master's worries."

The conversation between the seemingly incompatible master and apprentice made the atmosphere in the room even more depressing.

Chi Li said calmly, "No problem, as long as you do your job well."

A strong sense of oppression hit, and Ye Xiuran was a little unclear about the situation. After a little hesitation, he still asked: "Master ventured into the palace, but I have something important to tell, Xiuran will do his best and will not hesitate to die! "

Chili had always been majestic and cold in front of Ye Xiuran, with a calm expression on his face, and said:

"That's not necessary. It's inconvenient for you to be in the palace right now. You just need to monitor Ning Shu's whereabouts, find out her actions and intentions, and then send the news outside the palace. This is the most important thing. careless."

Ye Xiuran responded respectfully: "Xiuran respectfully obeys Master's orders."

Chili said again: "This Ning Shu has acted differently before and after, so you have to be on guard. You must be cautious. All the harem princes have been sent out by her in the name of research, but you are the only one left. You Have you ever wondered why?"

Ye Xiuran turned his brows slightly, and tentatively replied, "Maybe it's because of the favor of my adoptive father—"

"Stupid!" Chi Li yelled coldly: "This is how I teach you to do things as a teacher? Take a look and see, now it's a critical moment, and the many talents that Ning Shu has shown are really shocking. How dare you look down on her so lightly?"

Ye Xiuran had always been cautious in front of Chi Li, but now that he heard the reprimand, he immediately got up and knelt down, and said: "I know I'm wrong, please teach me, Master."

Chili said sharply again: "Xiu Ran, underestimating the enemy is a big taboo. You think you are staying to monitor her movements, but you don't know that Ning Shu is also playing a long line to catch big fish by staying with you. Perhaps, what you saw , but what she wants you to see!"

Ye Xiuran was startled when he heard that, and suddenly felt that his actions were not thoughtful, Chili saw this and said earnestly:

"Next, get close to this female tyrant who is determined to make amends for the better. What do you know if you live so deeply in the palace?"

"Xiu Ran, you are the most important disciple of the teacher. Now that the big plan is about to come true, you must be cautious in every step, do what you should do, and don't let the teacher down again."

Ye Xiuran bowed and promised, "Xiuran will live up to Master's expectations after being taught."

During this conversation, Chi Li had been examining Ye Xiuran, who had serious internal injuries, and at the end became a little colder, and suddenly asked, "What were you doing last night?"

Ye Xiuran felt that Chili's gaze was burning like a torch, as if he wanted to see through all his thoughts, and subconsciously replied: "I have been in Jinghua Palace, my injury has not healed and I have caught the wind and cold, so I can't sleep."

Chili stared at Ye Xiuran's expression, and seemed to feel that his reaction was not fake, so he sighed and said, "Last night, our Dharma protector of the Zhengdao League was killed in Jiren Hall, and the bones were burned beyond recognition. The killer has not been found yet."

"Xiu Ran, who do you think did this?"

Ye Xiuran couldn't help being startled again, his pupils shrunk and he said, "Ji Yan is in charge of selecting talents in Taoism. His martial arts has reached the late stage of heaven, and he is good at using poison. Even disciples are ashamed of himself. In this grand In the capital, who else can kill him so easily?"

Chi Li also looked down, and analyzed: "This person has a very meticulous plan, not only can kill Ji Yan silently, but also set fire to destroy all traces, the depth of thought and strength are really not to be underestimated." watch for."

"The Righteous Dao League that your adoptive father secretly established all these years has been hidden in the dark. Now that Ji Yan died strangely, someone may have noticed something. You must be careful and do not make any mistakes again."

After Ye Xiuran responded, he said, "Do you need my apprentice to find out the murderer of Guardian Ji's death? My apprentice is in charge of intelligence collection, so I should be able to find out some clues."

"No, it's really inconvenient for you to be in the palace. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. The teacher will investigate this matter himself."

Chi Li resolutely rejected Ye Xiuran's plea, and seemed to have no time to stay, so he turned his head and disappeared here, leaving only a word of advice:
"Heal your wounds well and do what you should do!"

When Chi Li's oppressive feeling disappeared, Ye Xiuran, who had been tense all this time, couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing several times. When he looked down again, his palms were already warm.

He frowned slightly, his figure was a bit shaky, and he called weakly: "Jingnan, come in."

The people waiting outside the door came in at the sound, seeing Ye Xiuran's face was so pale that there was no blood, they were very worried and said:
"My lord, your body really can't work hard any more. The old disease breaks out and you suffer from internal injuries. How can you stand up to the torment?"

Ye Xiuran took out the jade bottle beside the bed, poured three pills in a row, and said in a deep voice, "Since I have a congenital illness, I can only try my best to make up for it in the day after tomorrow."

Seeing this, the attendant Jing Nan exclaimed and persuaded: "My lord, although the recovery qi pill can restore your strength for a short time and cover up your internal injuries, it will become weak in the next three days, and your condition will only get worse. If there is no doctor to take good care of it, remember not to use it too much!"

"This is the only way to prevent His Majesty's people from knowing about my injury." Ye Xiuran said with a wry smile:

"There is no time, we have to act, Jing Nan, do you know about Protector Ji?"

Jing Nan really couldn't persuade him anymore, so he just nodded and said: "I just received the notice and was about to report to you, but I saw that the lord has already arrived, so I have to wait."

"Have any leads been found concerning the murderer?"

Jing Nan also found it very incredible: "No, this matter was done very neatly, it is really confusing."

Ye Xiuran's eyes instantly became lonely when he heard this, and his figure became more and more gloomy. He sighed, and said in a very wistful voice:
"Jingnan, just now this lord has been suspected by the lord, so, what do you think will happen if this lord is useless?"

"Actually, from the very beginning, I did all this just to live!"

Jing Nan has been with Ye Xiuran for many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a disappointed expression on the master who planned everything and never feared anything.

At that moment, he understood that all the ambitions of the other party had already been wiped out in this dark hiding.

The lord has long recognized all of this. The so-called Righteous Dao League that proves the Tao with one's own body is just built by that person for the purpose of fighting for power and profit. Each of them is a pawn.

If there is no value for use, what awaits them will undoubtedly be obliterated...

"This subordinate is willing to swear to die to follow the lord. In this life, Jing Nan is the only one who is loyal to the lord." Jing Nan knelt on one knee, revealing his sincerity when the other party was most at a loss.

"Fortunately, you are here, what are you thinking about so much, you still have to do the current thing well first!"

Ye Xiuran felt very relieved, looked in the direction of the Qianyuan Hall, looked far away, and said softly:
"Prepare all the potatoes we found. If I hadn't been injured in Kunyi Palace last time, I should have sent these things to His Majesty long ago."

"Now that Master has orders, how dare I refuse to obey?"
