Is it that you can't see through it, or are you pretending to be deaf and dumb and unwilling to stand up?

And why is no one willing to stand up?

Because they all decided that there was no chance of winning by standing up for the prince's rehabilitation?

What makes those who stand on the side of truth and justice silent, but makes those who tell the truth know that they will win?

"The human heart is greedy."

As if hearing Ah Zi's question in her heart, the Empress Dowager slowly spoke, looking ahead with a sloppy look.

"Before the 'Yuanmen Incident', people knew very little about the demon race. Unlike the orcs who invade human territory from time to time, the demon witch race has always been in a regular position in the lands north of the Dragonspine Mountains on the western continent. They had no intention of coming into contact with humans, who were afraid to explore the witch colony due to the presence of the orcs entrenched in the Dragon's Back Mountains.

"So, you may find it incredible when you say it, before the identities of several witches living in my imperial brother's mansion were revealed, the people of Dongyuan and even the royal family only knew about witches at the point that 'they have a similar appearance to humans, but their facial features are far more delicate than humans'."

The Empress Dowager said, and she couldn't help but show a sarcastic look in her eyes.

Ah Zi listened, but a chill hit behind him.

"What does the ancestor mean is that before the harboring of witches in the prince's mansion was revealed, the Dongyuan royal family didn't know that witch blood could cure diseases and injuries?"

Seeing that Ah Zi saw through the key point in her words so quickly, the Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed again. Caught up in the memories.

Thinking about this, Ah Zi's heart sank a little bit.

In her heart, and in the hearts of most people, the understanding of witches only stays at the level that this race is good at demagogy and is very dangerous. And after Ah Zi learned that he was a demon and not a human, he gradually learned the special features of his blood.

But she has always naively thought that this is just because she has been living alone on the streets since she was a child, and no one has taught her, and except for herself, the other people and the Dongyuan court have always been clear about the habits and abilities of witches.

But now that such a premise has been broken, all motives are no longer valid.

If the Dongyuan royal family always knew the effect of demon blood. Just as stated at the time of the enactment of the Monster Hunt. Because of the capture of a group of witches in the Prince's Mansion and the terrifying ability of this race to deceive people, he was finally forced to issue a demon hunting order in order to protect the safety of the people of Li, calling on the majority of the people of Dongyuan to work together to understand the hidden dangers of the invasion of demons, so as most of the people of Dongyuan now think. The "Yuanmen Incident" promptly exposed the whereabouts of a group of aliens who had already secretly infiltrated human territory. Out of precautions against potential safety hazards. It is only logical that the "Monster Hunting Order" was drawn up immediately after.

But now this perception has been completely overturned.

After the "Yuanmen Incident", the Dongyuan royal family discovered the special features of demon blood, and issued a "demon hunting order" for this purpose. deliberately exaggerates the horror of witches and conceals the efficacy of witch blood, then this series of behaviors can only point to one purpose - the Dongyuan Imperial Court wants to take the witch blood for itself.

Thinking of this, Ah Zi only felt that the blood in his body had coagulated, and he sat there steadily, and it took a long time to come to his senses.

"Perhaps...... Perhaps the imperial court only blocked the news because it was worried that the special features of the witch would be exposed and would attract a small number of people with evil intentions to maliciously harm us......"

Ah Zi tried to excuse the country where he grew up, but he couldn't convince himself.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "My father, Emperor Zhu Gaotian, was born in Dongyuan in 538, and is now a hundred years old. Is it really the blessing of the Sacred Heart Niangniang, blessed by God? ”

Ah Zi's hands were tightly twisted around the corners of her clothes, her lower lip was almost bitten and bleeding, and a resentment and fear in her chest were congested, making her breathless.

Seeing that she didn't talk, the Empress Dowager slowly turned around, sat up straight, and said: "Zhu Huishu was born to a concubine and the second son, this person has been very ambitious since he was a child, and he has always been good at greeting and won the emperor's love. But the crown prince Zhu Huiyuan was born to Queen Hui and was the eldest son, as long as the prince reigned for one day, no matter how good Zhu Huishu was, it would be impossible for him to cross the identity of the prince.

"The first few years of Emperor Gaotian's reign can be described as a prosperous era, and several princes are also very competitive, but the only regret is that he is old, and he may not be able to see the unification of the East and the West in his lifetime.

"Xiyou in the East Plains 554 years to build the capital Xijing, I remember when I was young, my father often said, Xiyou this land was lost when he was young, has always been a piece of his own heart, now he has been in the reign for so many years, nothing more than to see the day when Xiyou was regained.

"Therefore, what Zhu Huishu needs is for the stumbling block of the crown prince to disappear forever, and what the Emperor Gaotian needs is to prolong his life and see the reunification of the human territory.

"Under such circumstances, the secret of the witch in the prince's mansion was accidentally exposed in front of the eyes of the Dongyuan royal family, and a strategy that killed two birds with one stone, and at the same time could satisfy the greatest wishes of Zhu Huishu and Emperor Gaotian, what do you think, what will they do?

"If the whole court and the central government are well aware of this matter, in the face of the emperor's greed and the ambition of the prince, will they protect their lives or meet them with death?"

The Empress Dowager's voice was very soft, and her tone sounded calm.

But Ah Zi clearly saw the tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

remembered Zuo Qiyang's words before: After the prince was arrested, the court was surprisingly silent, only the concubine who was in love with the prince risked his life to meet him, but in the end he ended up in a different place, Princess Mingzhu lost her beloved husband and brother-in-law at the same time, and was remarried to the royal family by Emperor Gaotian before she had time to grieve.

Ah Zi is still immersed in the past of the current Empress Dowager Xiyu, and she can't extricate herself from it, and the old man on the side has already restrained her mind and returned to the topic of Ah Zi.

"That's all I can tell you about the truth about that unjust case decades ago." The Empress Dowager said, "I used to be the princess of Dongyuan, and to this day I have no intention of talking too much or maliciously slandering everything in the east - even if Emperor Gaotian once ruined everything about me, he will always be my father."

"But Ah Zi, listen to me, the Dongyuan Imperial Court will only be a hundred times more terrifying than hell for a demon like you." (To be continued.) )
