Chapter 273 Dealing with the Mastermind
Chen Changsheng took the teacup and was stunned. He thought to himself, “This little girl is really good at making arrangements.”

“Okay, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first and won’t disturb your rest.”

Wei Hongyue continued.

Chen Changsheng nodded and asked Wei Hongyue to leave. Looking at her romantic back, Chen Changsheng took a sip of tea.

Just like that, night fell, the moonlight shone down, and when Yang Sheng left the courtyard in black, he walked along the hidden path of the palace, skillfully avoiding the patrolling guards, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

His goal was not the imperial palace, but the famous Temple of the Evil God in the imperial city.

The Evil God Temple is majestic and magnificent. It looks extremely solemn under the moonlight. Chen Changsheng’s building. Under the cover of night, he flexibly entered the Evil God Temple, like a fallen leaf dancing in the wind, looking extremely agile.

He looked around and made sure there was no commotion, then quickly approached the main hall of the Evil God Temple.

The lights inside the palace were dim, but Chen Changsheng, relying on his extraordinary memory and understanding of the layout of the Evil God Temple, easily came to a secluded study. Through the window, he could vaguely see the faint light inside, piles of books, and a figure.

Chen Changsheng looked through the crack in the window and saw a white-haired boss reading a book. Is this the evil king? Go in and wait patiently for the best time. Suddenly, Baihua Lao Ze put down the pen in his hand, as if he had sensed something but did not find Chen Changsheng in the dark, and was shocked.

“Palace Master, don’t be so nervous. I am your friend, not your enemy.”

Chen Changsheng’s voice sounded, and he appeared in the study room.

The master of the Evil King Palace was stunned after hearing this, and then his eyes became sharp. He did not let go of the wax. Instead, he smiled indifferently, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the place where Chen Changsheng was hiding.

“Young man, what brings you here so late at night?”

Chen Changsheng also came in front of the Lord of the Evil God Temple, clasped his hands together, and said, “Lord Evil, I heard that you were calm even when a mountain collapsed in front of you. Today I see that you are indeed not simple. I, Chen Changsheng, am sorry for disturbing you at night.”

After hearing this, the Lord of the Evil God Temple was shocked.

“It’s actually you!”

During the day, Chen Changsheng’s demeanor was obvious to all, so he naturally witnessed it.

“I wonder what’s the matter with your late night visit?”

The hall master looked at Chen Changsheng and frowned slightly.

“I came to visit you late at night because I want to ask the Evil Palace Master for help with something.”

“If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If I can do it, I will do my best.”

The hall masters spoke up.

At the same time, he also felt the vague murderous aura from Chen Changsheng, and couldn’t help but frowned, and then asked: “What do you mean?”

“You’ll know soon.”

After saying this, Chen Changsheng took action quickly.

The Evil God Temple returned to tranquility, looking like a black curtain, extremely mysterious.

The calligraphy of this hall master is still bright and shining.

After a while, there was a crisp knock on the door, breaking the silence.

“Come in.” The owner’s somewhat tired voice sounded, but she was still majestic. The door was pushed open and a door plate was pressed. She walked in, holding a candlestick, and her soft face was full of respect.

“Your Majesty, the King of Qi is outside asking for an audience!”

The King of Qi is also the leader of a major force in the Shen Yao Dynasty, and his status is second only to the Lord of the Evil God Temple. He holds a large number of troops, and his influence is spread throughout the court and outside. Although he and the Lord of the Evil God Temple are of the same clan and origin, undercurrents are surging due to the struggle for power.

The late-night visit of King Qi at this time undoubtedly increased the suspicion of the Lord of the Evil God Temple.

After hearing this, Xie Qiubai, the Lord of the Evil God Temple, narrowed his eyes slightly, and an imperceptible sense of vigilance rose in his heart, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face. He couldn’t help but stand up, and his wide sleeves slid to both sides as he stood up, and a mountain-like figure emerged.

“Please come to the palace to see me, King Qi!”

Xie Qiubai’s words showed both royal courtesy and the calmness in the face of a powerful enemy.

The maid left, Xie Qiubai straightened his clothes and went directly to the main hall.

In the hall, the King of Qi was waiting anxiously but politely.

Seeing Xie Qiubai coming, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying in his heart: “Brother Qiubai, I am sorry to bother you so late at night.”

“Brother Prince Qi, this is serious. I wonder if you are in such a hurry to get the money. Is there something important?”

Xie Qiubai asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The King of Qi immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying with a serious face: “Brother Qiubai, the current situation is turbulent, His Majesty has become a prisoner, and the Queen has taken the opportunity to monopolize government affairs. Her wings are gradually growing stronger, and I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to us, the kings of the opposite sex!”

The words of King Qi were full of helplessness. The Shen Yao Dynasty was now fraught with dangers. If one was not careful, it would be very likely to fall into the abyss.

After hearing this, Xie Qiubai’s eyes became serious. He nodded slightly and motioned King Qi to sit down.

“Brother Prince Qi, what good plan do you have?”

The King of Qi frowned deeply, did not speak, but made a gesture of wiping his neck.

“What does it mean?”

The King of Qi widened his eyes and whispered, “Brother Qiu Bai, at this point we have no way out. Look at the Queen in the deepest part of the palace. She has already taken sole control of the power. She will not be satisfied with just controlling Your Majesty. She will definitely take action against those potential threats!”

“If we don’t act soon, we will most likely be the next group of people to be eliminated!”

After hearing this, Xie Qiubai’s face turned pale. His gaze stayed on King Qi’s face for a moment, as if he was looking for something.

Then, his voice trembled a little, “Brother Prince Qi, I wonder if you have any good plans?”

He looked up at the bright moonlight, then turned to look at Xie Qiubai and said, “I am not advocating killing, but countless historical records show that when power loses its checks and balances, Brother Qiubai will emerge. What I mean is that we must seize the initiative first and find an opportunity to turn the tide, even if this opportunity requires taking certain risks!”

At this point, the King of Qi stared at Xie Qiubai intently. He had clenched his fists and said with a firm face: “We can use the power in our hands to quietly unite with other masters, including those ministers who have not yet expressed their positions, and the arrival of the remaining variety show executions. Once the time is right, we will launch a mutiny, rescue His Majesty, and force the Queen to correct her mistakes. This is a game. Either we succeed in correcting the chaos, or we will perish together!”

The face of the King of Qi looked extremely pale under the moonlight, and the worry between his brows became even heavier. He said, “What you said certainly makes sense, but you know, there is a master named Chen Changsheng beside the Queen. You have seen his strength during the day. Even after I was possessed by the devil last year, I was not his opponent. I am afraid we will be, we simply cannot be his opponent!”

His fingers inadvertently rubbed the long sword at his waist, and the feeling of powerlessness seemed to penetrate through his cold palms.
