Chapter 873: A Gamble! (Fourth Watch)
Chu Liuyue listened very patiently.
But instead of the shame and disdain of being exposed and blamed, she laughed instead.
Before she could say these words to Shangguan Wan, the other party had already beaten her first.
The ability to reverse black and white has not fallen at all.
"It seems that in the eyes of the third princess, I am really a figure with hands and eyes. Not only can he contract with the divine beast at will, but he can also manipulate the scepter of the Heavenly Decree at will. β
She opened her mouth coldly, and a smile suddenly jumped on the corner of her lips.
"Since the third princess thinks so highly of me, if I don't do something, won't I live up to the 'kindness' of the third princess?"
Shangguan Wan was originally quite proud in her heart, thinking that she had gained the upper hand and would definitely force Chu Liuyue to back down.
But when she said this, she was a little uneasy.
Chu Liuyue's words, isn't she saying that she derogates the Heavenly Order Scepter?
"Hongu, Hongu doesn't mean that!"
"Elder Chen Ke, there is one thing I would like to ask. β
Chu Liuyue ignored Shangguan Wan, turned her gaze, and looked at Elder Chen Ke next to her.
"W-What?"
Elder Chen Ke didn't expect Chu Liuyue to suddenly talk to him, and he was stunned.
Chu Liuyue glanced at the Heavenly Order Scepter in his hand, his red lips hooked slightly, and his smile was deep.
"As the third princess said, the Heavenly Order Scepter is a sacred relic of the Heavenly Order Dynasty, and it is extremely noble. It is rumored that whoever can pick up the scepter of the Heavenly Decree will be able to inherit the throne smoothly. What if I did?"
Elder Chen Ke's eyes widened in shock!
Chu Liuyue is crazy!
Does she even know what she's talking about!?
Picking up the scepter of the Heavenly Order, does she still want to openly seek power and usurp the throne!?
"No way!"
Before Elder Chen Ke could react, Shangguan Wan took the lead in denying it screaming.
"Even if you use any means to make the Heavenly Order Scepter get out of control for a while, it will never be possible to pick it up, let alone get its approval!"
Shangguan Wan said this with confidence.
Because the Heavenly Decree Scepter was originally left by Taizu, from ancient times to the present, only people with the blood of the Heavenly Decree Royal Family can approach and be recognized by the Heavenly Decree Scepter!
What is Chu Liuyue's background, and he actually gave birth to such thoughts?
What wishful thinking!
"Oh, why don't we make a bet?"
Chu Liuyue was not annoyed and shrugged her shoulders.
Shangguan Wan became vigilant.
"What bet?"
"If I can pick up the scepter of the Heavenly Order and get its approval, thenβ"
"Don't be delusional!"
Shangguan Wan immediately interrupted her rudely.
"Chu Liuyue, with your background, do you also want to have something to do with my Heavenly Decree royal family?!
But if Chu Liuyue dares to say that she wants to compete for the throne with this, she will definitely send someone to take Chu Liuyue into custody and punish him with the crime of rebellion!
Chu Liuyue chuckled.
"What's the third princess anxious about, I haven't finished talking yet. My bet is that if I can do this, then I will ask the third princess to re-investigate the death of the emperor back then!"
There was a loud bang on the ground!
Chu Liuyue's sentence fell like thunder in an instant, and it exploded in everyone's ears!
Countless people looked at her in disbelief with their eyes wide open in shock.
What did Chu Liuyue say just now, to re-investigate the death of Emperor Ji?
What does this mean?
Didn't Emperor Ji go crazy and die in his own cultivation back then? Investigate again, could it be that there was something wrong with Emperor Ji's death back then?
In fact, there are not a few people who have doubts about this matter, but in the past two years, the investigation has been stopped one after another for one reason or another.
Gradually, no one talked about it anymore.
Even some people don't know why, and even everything about the emperor is secretive.
The woman who was once as brilliant and dazzling as the clouds and the sun finally slipped like a meteor, disappeared completely, and fell silent, rarely mentioned again.
When Chu Liuyue said that she wanted to make a bet just now, many people speculated about what she might ask.
But after thinking about it, I couldn't imagine that what she said turned out to be this thing!
Shangguan Wan was also stunned.
For a moment, she almost thought she had misheard.
"Y-What did you say?"
Chu Liuyue slowly repeated what she had just said.
"What, the third princess is unwilling?"
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Jiang Yucheng next to him finally reacted at this time, his face was like frost, his brows were tightened, and he asked in a cold voice.
"When Emperor Ji passed away, everything was already decided, but now you say that you want to re-investigate, do you can't believe us?"
Even if he liked Chu Liuyue no matter how much he liked her, he couldn't help it when he heard her say these words.
It doesn't hurt to make a small fuss, and even if Chu Liuyue sneered at Shangguan Wan and targeted all kinds of things, he wouldn't mind much.
However, when it comes to the matter of the emperor back then, it is impossible for him to leave any mercy!
Chu Liuyue didn't seem to hear the threat in his words, and nodded frankly.
"yes, I just can't trust you. β
Jiang Yucheng suddenly choked, and after a while, he said:
"The stakes are high, how can you say anything!"
"Isn't this a Heavenly Decree Scepter?"
Chu Liuyue blinked and smiled.
"Could it be that the extremely noble Heavenly Decree Scepter can't be exchanged for a chance to re-investigate the death of the emperor?"
Chu Liuyue's words were too tricky, and no one dared to say "no".
The emperor is indeed noble and prestigious, but compared to the Heavenly Order Scepter, she is still a head lower.
Dare to say that the scepter of the Heavenly Decree is not, isn't it slandering Taizu?
Jiang Yucheng had to change his words.
"It's not impossible, but if you insist on doing so, at least you must come up with evidence to prove that what happened back then was wrong! There is indeed something wrong with the death of the emperor! Otherwise, it will definitely be impossible to promise you this matter!"
They did it so seamlessly that there was almost no evidence left.
No matter why Chu Liuyue suddenly got involved in this matter, it is absolutely impossible to find any clues, let alone find out the truth of the year!
However, when Chu Liuyue heard this, she nodded very easily.
"Okay, as long as you agree to my terms, then I can show evidence today, and I hope that when the time comes, the third princess and the concubine will not go back. β
Looking at Chu Liuyue's determined appearance, Jiang Yucheng suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and felt a little uneasy.
Tossing so much in front of so many people, Chu Liuyue is definitely not idle and has nothing to do.
She's so determined, is it really-
"This palace promises you!"
Before he could refuse, Shangguan Wan had already directly agreed!
"If you can take up the scepter of the Heavenly Decree and get its approval, this palace will allow you to re-investigate!
Everyone gasped.
Chu Liuyue just wanted to investigate the death of Emperor Ji, but Shangguan Wan was planning to kill Chu Liuyue!
Chu Liuyue's chin was slightly raised, and she smiled slowly, her eyes were as bright as a blade.
