Chapter 161: The Prince's Uncle

[What everyone didn't notice was that the moment Fang Hu's name was called out, Chu Hua, who was standing in front, trembled! His already pale face looked completely bloodless now!].

Sure enough! They found it! They found it long ago! They were waiting for this moment! Although Chu Hua's small actions did not attract the attention of the ministers, they were still observed by the Tang priest who was sitting at the side and squinting at him..

Seeing this scene, High Priest Tang's expression was dark like water. His originally sage-like appearance now looked intimidating, making people afraid to look directly at him..

When a third realm expert was enraged, a second realm expert could only hide his tail, let alone this group of mortals! Immediately, some people felt a terrifying pressure spreading over the hall, causing everyone's breathing to be greatly blocked! Before everyone could figure out where this pressure came from, Wu Hongbo's next words left the officials speechless..

" Fang Hu was captured by us last night and interrogated throughout the night…Finally, he revealed the whereabouts of the arsenic this morning!" Wu Hongbo bowed to Chu Hua, who was standing in front of him, and said," My humble subject has the audacity to ask Your Highness why he secretly purchased the arsenic!" Boom! Although he had expected this, when Wu Hongbo said these words, the entire Zhenghe Palace fell into a deathly silence for the third time! Did he go around in a big circle, or did he go around the Crown Prince? Could it be…Could it be that the Crown Prince was really the one who killed his father and king? Everyone had mixed feelings because they had no choice but to believe Wu Hongbo's words unless he was lying…However, in front of everyone in Zhenghe Palace, how could he dare to spread false rumors? In other words, regardless of whether the Crown Prince was the real murderer or not, he had purchased a large quantity of arsenic through this person named Fang Hu. It must be true! Hearing this, Chu Hua's entire body trembled, and his legs couldn't even stand still as he took two steps back..

He stared fixedly at Wu Hongbo, who was giving him a big bow not far away. He actually could not say a word! " Humph! Your Highness! I also want to know what exactly Your Highness bought that batch of arsenic for!" At this moment, Minister Tang, who was sitting at the side, suddenly asked in a deep voice," Also, even if it's to buy arsenic, why did you secretly buy it from Hua City without telling everyone? Is it because the arsenic in Chujing is not fresh? Does Your Highness not like it?" By now, anyone could hear the anger hidden in Revered Officer Tang's words..

In other words, even he, the palace priest, knew about this matter! This matter would not be fake anymore! Everyone's eyes began to focus on Crown Prince Chu Hua. This time, the gazes were no longer filled with contempt or distrust of Crown Prince's ability. Instead, they were filled with suspicion, anger, and even disappointment..

Chu Hua gritted his teeth and said," I…I…I didn't poison Father!" He met the scrutinizing gazes from all directions, especially the piercing gaze in the corner..

Wang Erzhe lowered his head and sighed..

" When did this old man say that you poisoned His Majesty?!" Reverend Tang looked at Chu Hua and slowly stood up. He asked in his most calm but soul-piercing voice," This old man just wants to know! Why did the Crown Prince…buy that batch of arsenic? What's the point of buying it?!" The Crown Prince looked at Wang Erzhe. Wang Erzhe lowered his eyes and said," Tell me! Things have come to this point. What can you do if you hide it…" The eyes of the officials immediately carried some doubts..

Could it be that Prime Minister Wang is working with the Crown Prince? Chu Hua took a deep breath and finally said," This matter…we have to start from a month ago! At that time, I secretly sneaked out of the palace to find someone to drink with…" …… Crown Prince Chu Hua had always been under Chu Gang's control. As the Crown Prince grew older, he spent most of his time in the royal study. He was either forced to read books or accompanied Chu Gang to deal with court affairs..

Sneak out for drinks and fun only in his spare time..

Chu Hua, who had sneaked out of the palace, naturally did not dare to pretend to be the crown prince. Naturally, she used a fake identity to make friends with some bad friends who ate, drank and had fun together..

These people didn't know his identity as the Crown Prince, and they got along very well with him…At least, that was what Chu Hua thought at the time..

Fang Hu is one of them..

Fang Hu's family was engaged in business, doing some small businesses. In Chujing, which was not rich, it could be considered as too rich..

He often went drinking and having fun with Chu Hua, who had sneaked out. Naturally, this included places like the Drunken Smoke Pavilion. Occasionally, he would go to have fun once or twice..

More than a month ago, Chu Hua met a wandering sorcerer in a tavern..

Although there were cultivators in the world, ordinary people had a very shallow understanding of cultivators. They thought that they were immortals who could reach heaven and earth. No matter whether they believed them or not, they maintained basic respect for these charlatans who wore Taoist robes and gave fortune-telling to others every day. They were afraid that they would meet some real immortals..

However, Chu Yun was different. As the Crown Prince, he naturally had a more specific understanding of cultivators. Therefore, Chu Yun had always looked down on such people..

Regardless of whether he was a real cultivator or not, and how high his cultivation was, he was unwilling to care..

However, the Warlock had told him a name, and Chu Hua simply lost his composure! He said his name was Liu Ran and he came from a very, very far place..

In fact, many of the elders in Chu Capital knew Chu Gang. Chu Gang married a woman in his life. This woman was the daughter of the previous Prime Minister of Chu. Her name was Liu Xixi..

:.

: However, very few people knew that Prime Minister Liu had an eldest son. Because he had an immortal destiny, he went to Penglai Holy Land, one of the three holy lands in the human world, to practice Taoism since he was young. He has not returned until now..

Very few people knew the name of the eldest son of the Liu family, but as Chu Hua's nephew, how could he not know his uncle's name? Of course, he must have suspected that person's true identity, but when he saw those Misty Immortal Arts, he was convinced! That was because that person's cultivation was at the third realm! Was it necessary for a third-level major cultivator to go through so much trouble to deceive him? Anyway, Chu Yun felt that it was unnecessary, or perhaps he did not want to believe that the other party was lying to him..

A useless Crown Prince who had been in power for many years had no status at all. He only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Suddenly, a third-level big shot came to recognize him. Who could refuse such a good thing? Liu Ran treated him very well and told him many things about the past. For example, her mother, Liu Xixi, was so dazzling in Chujing back then. Compared to Wang Shishi, the daughter of the Prime Minister, she was even more attractive..

Ever since my father ascended the throne and my mother died at the age of ten, no one has told me anything about my mother until now..

Of course, Chu Hua, who was in high spirits, naturally wouldn't ask. How could an immortal who left home when he was young know so much about his mother ten years ago?.

Liu Ran told him that he would leave in seven days and return to the sect. During these seven days, he wanted to help Chu Hua secure the crown prince position! Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu Hua's status in the capital was obviously inferior to Chu Yun, who was excellent in all aspects. Chu Hua himself had some inexplicable obsession with the position of Crown Prince because of his mother's death back then, so he muddleheaded agreed to Liu Ran's request..

Liu Ran had told him at that time that all emperors carried a dragon aura! The stronger the dragon aura, the longer the emperor would last! However, Liu Ran could see that Chu Hua's dragon Qi was weak through Penglai's Qi Looking Technique, as if it was about to dissipate..

Chu Hua immediately believed what he said because he realized that his father was becoming stricter and more disappointed with him recently. No way! Mother sacrificed her life to gain the position of Crown Prince. I can't let you snatch it away! How to stabilize the dragon Qi that was about to dissipate was very simple. What was missing was what was missing..

" Then where do I get this Dragon Qi?" Chu Hua asked..

" All emperors in the mortal world have dragon qi around them…Go and borrow a bowl of blood from your father, and I'll be able to replenish this dragon qi for you!" " Forget it then! I don't want it anymore!" "It's just a bowl. It won't hurt Chu Gang's body. He'll recover soon. You don't have to worry!" "It's not that... mainly, I dare not..

” “……” " Then…then is there any other place where this dragon energy can be found?" " Of course there is! Legend has it that true dragons are the source of dragon qi! It's just…no one knows if there are true dragons in this world! Fortunately, we only need some dragon qi. We don't need to find true dragons. The demon dragons in the extreme north also carry dragon qi!" " Uncle, please help me catch a demon dragon!" " Uh…there's no need for that! There's no need to go through so much trouble. Everything related to dragons in the human world more or less contains dragon qi! I heard…that there's a dragon steed in your palace?" " That's right! Sometimes, father would ride that dragon steed just when he went out!" " Alright then. Go borrow that dragon steed from your father!" Chu Yun hesitated for a moment before nodding." If it's just a loan, it shouldn't be a problem!" " Yes! I'm just borrowing it, but I won't return it! After all, the dragon steed contains too little dragon qi. I need to extract its blood!" “……” In the end, Chu Yun still chose to take the risk to borrow the dragon steed..

Because, no matter what, it's just a horse. Even if Father accidentally finds out, it's just a reprimand. There won't be too heavy punishment..

Besides, Uncle told him that the immortals in Penglai were forbidden to kill, and asked him to find a way to deal with the borrowed dragon steeds..

Although Chu Hua was useless, it was just a horse chop…He had a headache! This Crown Prince only knew how to eat, drink, and play. Horse chop…Dragon steed, what was going on? He asked a lot of people if there was any way to kill a dragon steed as strong as a bull..

Finally, his "wine table friend" Fang Hu told him.

No matter how powerful the dragon steed is, it's still an animal. It's not easy to relax!
