He was furious, but it wasn't just because I killed her; he was using his anger as a cover to destroy the evidence. Zhang Jingxue thought for a moment, recalling that Qi Hao's rage was indeed mixed with an attempt to conceal the truth. Was there something wrong with that head?
Qi Xiaomian spoke directly, saying that Mei'er was a demon, and he feared that the head would reveal its demonic traits. What! Are you implying that he had colluded with demons? If this were to be known by outsiders, it wouldn't just shake the Qi Family's status; it would be far more serious.
Realizing this, Zhang Jingxue's tone carried a hint of reproach. "You child, you acted recklessly that day."
"I never intended for this matter to leak out; after all, it wouldn't benefit me at all. I just wanted to scare him a little. The head has been dealt with; even if he hadn't destroyed the evidence, no one would have noticed anything unusual."
Zhang Jingxue sighed, "It was still too risky."
Qi Xiaomian smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. "Has Qi Hao done anything else to harm the Qi Family?"
I learned when I killed the Enchantress that he had been sending medicine to the Empress Dowager. At first, it was the same kind you consumed, but just a few months ago, they altered the prescription. The medicine's effect remained the same; they only added one side effect: it was enticing.
"Qi Hao!"
Zhang Jingxue completely lost his composure and slammed his palm heavily on the table. "He truly has some nerve!"
Qi Xiaomian continued to fan the flames, "His intention to control the Empress Dowager is merely one of his tactics; his ultimate goal is to usurp the throne."
"This... how is this possible?! Does he have that capability? The martial world isn't even unified yet, and he's already thinking about changing dynasties?"
Zhang Jingxue found this notion absurd and laughed a few times. "Impossible! Even if he has such treacherous thoughts, he doesn't..."
"No, he does! He has the audacity! Madam, do you know? He received an invitation from the Empress Dowager and plans to marry my Princess from Jingjing City after the New Year. Moreover, he is scheming for a position as Duke or a prince of another surname."
Another heavy blow struck. "Is this true?"
My Princess caused a scene in your courtyard a few days ago and told Miss Sang about this matter in person. They even want to use my position in The Office of Censors to gather leverage on Court Officials.
Zhang Jingxue exclaimed angrily, "Does Qi Hao want to court death? If this is discovered, it would be a grave crime punishable by extermination of his family and clan! How dare he?!"
Why wouldn't he dare? He is now in collusion with both evil spirits and demons.
In places unknown to me, there may be even bolder and more terrifying arrangements. If everything fails, he must have prepared an escape route for himself, but whether this route will involve you is yet to be seen.
Qi Hao must die! He must die! I cannot let him drag everyone down with him!
And what else?
Qi Xiaomian smiled at her, while Zhang Jingxue closed her eyes and exhaled a breath of frustration before continuing to speak.
Mei'er was merely a Demon Servant among the demon race. Qi Hao not only knew her but also recognized her master. Years ago, Limei'er had killed that Demon King.
Having gone to such lengths to provoke such a formidable enemy, the odds of success are slim. By ordinary reasoning, this is an extremely unprofitable and abnormal transaction.
Miss Sang harbored doubts about this matter and arrived at a conjecture: he had his eyes set on the Demon King's Demon Soul, intending to claim it for himself.
