Shen Mu and Old Ox stared wide-eyed, and Kai Huang too wore a look of disbelief; for a long moment the three of them could not utter a word. Seeing their expressions, Zhu Que'er felt deeply satisfied, and said, "This matter blew up afterward.
The Empress was most displeased and made a scene, so the Heavenly Emperor abandoned his mortal body and returned to the Heavenly Court, and the Empress made another scene. Many in the Heavenly Court knew of this, but no one ever spoke it aloud. Later, Heavenly Venerable Hao rose to prominence, and he was indeed extraordinary, yet the Empress treated Heavenly Venerable Yu very well. Can you guess why? " Old Ox blurted out at once, "The Empress wanted revenge on the Heavenly Emperor, so she slept with Heavenly Venerable Yu! " Kai Huang and Shen Mu coughed again and again, their faces red with suppressed laughter.
"It is hardly as bad as that.
She wanted to prop up Heavenly Venerable Yu and suppress her sister and the Heavenly Emperor's son.
" Zhu Que'er thought for a moment, and her curiosity suddenly blazed.
She lowered her voice: "Then did the Empress harbor such a thought? Perhaps she really did sleep with Heavenly Venerable Yu. . . Ah yes, why did Heavenly Venerable Hao want to kill Heavenly Venerable Yu?
Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor sensed the Empress had been slept with, and it was the Heavenly Emperor who instructed Heavenly Venerable Hao to act? " Shen Mu could not help interrupting her: "Sister, it was the Empress's sister who used her magic power to shroud the Manhui Corridor Pavilion, so that Heavenly Venerable Yu could neither escape nor call for help.
" Zhu Que'er's eyes lit up: "Sisters entangled? Competing for favor?
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey? What a fine drama! " Shen Mu blinked and thought to himself: "This sister's way of thinking seems somewhat different from mine. I rather think the reason Heavenly Venerable Hao wanted to eliminate Heavenly Venerable Yu was that Heavenly Venerable Yu's prestige was too high. With him removed, Heavenly Venerable Hao could become the leader of the demigods and the acquired tribes.
Once the demigods and acquired tribes grew, he would have hope of contending for a higher seat. " Zhu Que'er clearly had not thought in that direction; she remained excited about the Heavenly Emperor's harem intrigues, which was not at all the same thing Shen Mu and the others were pondering.
Kai Huang's expression darkened: "Heavenly Venerable Yu was an outstanding figure of his generation; it is a pity he met such a foul end. Whether the Heavenly Emperor had a hand in it, there is no way to know. " Zhu Que'er reined in her earlier excitement and said calmly: "If the Heavenly Emperor's son cannot compare with the son of a human, would that not tell the world that the bloodline of the ancient gods is inferior to that of mortals?
" Shen Mu and Kai Huang were greatly shaken, left speechless and staring. Zhu Que'er swept away her solemnity and laughed: "Good little brother, you stay here with your sister for now.
I will go outside and see the commotion.
That little wretch must be making quite a scene! " Shen Mu stared wide-eyed. Zhu Que'er was clearly one who feared the world was not chaotic enough; she immediately rushed out.
"This sister is even more excited than I, the person involved.
.
. " Shen Mu shook his head and said to Kai Huang: "Was what Sister Que'er just said true?
Did the Heavenly Emperor really instruct Heavenly Venerable Hao? " Kai Huang shook his head: "I have never met the Heavenly Emperor, so I cannot know his character and should not make wild guesses. But it is indeed possible. If what the Southern Emperor said is true, then the Heavenly Emperor is playing with fire. Heavenly Venerable Hao's ambition is immense; once the acquired races and demigods develop, his seat may not remain secure!
" Shen Mu frowned.
