"I will go and report to the Princess immediately. Please wait, Eunuch Han."

Han Diaosi did not linger. He hurriedly left with the bodies of the two temple envoys and headed straight for the imperial study.

As Yan Xiaoyi watched Han Diaosi's retreating figure, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart. However, he also knew that there were some things he shouldn't know. He then turned and walked towards Guangxin Palace.

At this moment, Princess Li Yunrui, who lived in Guangxin Palace, heard the commotion outside, but remained unmoved and composed.

After all, she herself was a ninth-rank expert, and she knew that there were many grandmasters in the palace, so she naturally had nothing to worry about.

At this moment, she was sitting there leisurely, savoring the fine wine that had just been transported from Jiangnan to the capital, enjoying the tranquility and comfort.

Da da da!

Yan Xiaoyi walked steadily into Guangxin Palace, went straight to Princess Li Yunrui, respectfully bowed, and said:

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Yunrui's gaze was as calm as a still lake as he glanced at Yan Xiaoyi and asked softly:

"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Upon hearing Li Yunrui's words, Yan Xiaoyi did not hesitate at all. He straightened up and respectfully reported to Li Yunrui:

"Your Highness, two Grandmaster-level assassins have just broken into the palace."

When Li Yunrui heard this news, his expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She couldn't help but wonder to herself, who could possibly dare to break into the heavily guarded palace?

She frowned and asked in confusion:

"Oh! Two Grandmasters? Could it be Ku He from Northern Qi and Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City who have come to our capital?"

Yan Xiaoyi knew that the princess had misunderstood, so he immediately shook his head and denied it:

"Your Highness, the people who have come are not Grandmasters Ku He and Si Gu Jian, but two Grandmasters who have never shown themselves in the world before."

However, Your Highness, please rest assured, these two Grandmasters have been killed on the spot by Eunuch Han.

Li Yunrui was still quite surprised when he heard this.

After all, before Li Chengtian launched his coup, there were only four Grandmasters in the entire world.

Although now that Li Chengtian has succeeded to the throne, Daqing has already reached several Grandmasters.

But the deaths of the two grandmasters still stirred a slight unease within me.

Then, upon hearing that these two unknown grandmasters had been killed by Han Diaosi, Han Diaosi's standing in his heart rose even higher.

After all, it had only been half a cup of tea's time since Han Diaosi shouted in the hall, and these two grandmasters had been killed by him.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying this Eunuch Han's power was.

But Li Yunrui was still curious about how many moves these two grandmasters lasted against Eunuch Han before they died, so he couldn't help but ask:

"How many moves did these two grandmasters exchange with Eunuch Han? How could they be killed so quickly?"

Upon hearing Li Yunrui's question, Yan Xiaoyi, recalling Han Diaosi's terrifying strength just now, felt a surge of fear and answered in a trembling voice:

"Your Highness, those two Grandmaster assassins only lasted one move against Eunuch Han before being killed by a single palm strike through their chests."

After saying that, Yan Xiaoyi added again:

"And those two assassins were a bit strange. The blood flowing from them was different from ours; their blood was golden."

Li Yunrui frowned and asked in confusion:

"Golden blood? I've never heard of such a thing."

She wondered to herself, who exactly are these two grandmasters?

Why does such special blood exist?

Yan Xiaoyi continued:

"Yes, Your Highness."

My subordinates also found it very strange; they had never seen anything like it before.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yunrui said:

"I am very curious, who sent these two Grandmaster assassins? How dare they break into the Great Qing Imperial Palace?"

Yan Xiaoyi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then answered:

"Your Highness, the identities of the assassins and the mastermind behind them are currently unknown, but judging from their skills, the forces behind them must be quite powerful. As for their purpose, it is likely aimed at His Majesty or some important figure in the court."

Li Yunrui nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She knew this matter was probably not so simple, and there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.

However, when he thought of Li Chengtian's strength, his worries disappeared considerably.

Just then, Yan Xiaoyi suddenly spoke up: "When Eunuch Han left with the two assassins, he said that His Majesty wanted to see him and asked you to go to the Imperial Study as soon as possible to pay your respects."

Upon hearing Yan Xiaoyi say that Li Chengtian wanted to see her, Li Yunrui instantly lost her appetite for wine and immediately stood up angrily, saying:

"Since His Majesty wanted to see me, why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you spouting such useless nonsense?"

After saying that, Li Yunrui quickly left the room, leaving Yan Xiaoyi standing there feeling helpless and aggrieved.

"You started asking me all sorts of questions as soon as I came in, without giving me a chance to speak!"

Now you're blaming me again!

what!

Women are truly strange creatures! Incomprehensible.

Han Diaosi returned to the outside of the imperial study and addressed the imperial guards carrying the body of the temple envoy:

"You wait here, I'll go and report to His Majesty first."

Several imperial guards immediately responded, "Yes, Eunuch Han."

After hearing their reply, Han Diaosi straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes and went back into the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Li Chengtian was deep in thought in the Imperial Study.

His gaze was fixed ahead, as if he were pondering some important question.

He held a book in his hand, but his gaze did not linger on the pages; instead, it revealed a profound expression.

It turned out that Li Chengtian was trying to figure out just how powerful the nuclear bomb that Madam Wang had mentioned earlier, capable of instantly destroying most of Daqing, really was.

After all, Daqing today is a vast region, its area no less than that of the Ming Dynasty.

To destroy most of the Ming Dynasty, one can imagine the immense power of this nuclear bomb.

Thinking of this, Li Chengtian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He knew that although he was powerful, he would probably be unable to withstand such a powerful nuclear weapon.

Even if he successfully breaks through to the Fourth Realm, he may not be able to withstand an attack of this level.

Prior to this, Li Chengtian had always believed that he was invincible.

However, now that he has learned that such a terrifying nuclear bomb is hidden in this world, he is filled with apprehension.

Although he understood that the temple was unlikely to launch the nuclear missile easily, things were unpredictable, and who could guarantee that the temple wouldn't launch a crazy attack on the Qing Kingdom?

Just as Li Chengtian was lost in thought, Han Diaosi hurriedly walked in, bowed, and said:

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Li Chengtian also snapped out of his thoughts, looked up at the somewhat hurried Han Diaosi, and said calmly:

"What happened!"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's voice, Han Diaosi quickly said:

"Your Majesty, when I went to Guangxin Palace to invite the Princess just now, I killed two Grandmaster assassins there. I found these two assassins rather strange."

When Li Chengtian heard Han Diaosi say that two Grandmasters had been killed, he was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Si Gu Jian and Ku He had arrived?

Then she realized something was wrong; Ku He was still imprisoned in the Northern Qi palace, not yet Gongzi Yu and the others.

Then he thought of the tragedy that happened outside the capital at dusk and guessed that the person killed by Han Diaosi must be the temple messenger.

At the same time, they also understood what Han Diaosi meant by "strange".

But Li Chengtian didn't show it at the moment, instead pretending to be curious and asking:

"Oh! They're just two grandmasters. What's so strange about that?"

Han Diaosi thought Li Chengtian was genuinely curious, so he quickly explained: 1

"Your Majesty, these two Grandmasters are really strange. After I pierced their chests, the blood that flowed out was actually golden."

Furthermore, when I examined their bodies, I discovered that they were missing their internal organs. They are currently outside the Imperial Study; Your Majesty can examine them personally.

Li Chengtian's expression remained unchanged after hearing Han Diaosi's words. He was not surprised that the temple envoy did not have internal organs.

After all, he knew that these people were not real humans, but robots from the temple.

However, he still decided to check it out himself to ensure he was making the right assessment of the situation.

Then, he nodded slightly and said:

"Have someone carry it in! I want to see if it's really as miraculous as you say?"
