He gave Zhao Qun supreme power, but he bit back at him.
"Zhao Qun!" Ying Yuan gnashed his teeth and said, "I want you to die without a burial place!"
……
Zhao Qun was in his own mansion at this time, enjoying the splendor and wealth. He thought he had done it perfectly and Ying Yuan would never find out the truth.
However, what he didn't know was that Ying Yuan had already set a tight net, waiting for him to fall into it.
Just when Zhao Qun was getting carried away, Ying Yuan's army surrounded his mansion.
Zhao Qun was terrified, he knew that his situation was hopeless.
He wanted to escape, but found that there was no way to escape.
Ying Yuan, accompanied by his guards, walked towards Zhao Qun step by step.
Zhao Qun looked at Ying Yuan's cold eyes and his heart was filled with fear.
"Your Majesty... spare my life..." Zhao Qun said tremblingly.
Ying Yuan sneered, "Do you think I will forgive you?"
He drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at Zhao Qun...
The sword stopped at Zhao Qun's Adam's apple, and he collapsed to the ground in fear, with urine flowing down his trouser legs, emitting a pungent and foul smell. Ying Yuan frowned in disgust, but did not kill him immediately.
"Tell me, who ordered you to poison Li Ji?" Ying Yuan's voice was as cold as if it came from the Netherworld.
Zhao Qun was shaking all over, speaking incoherently, "Your Majesty... yes... yes... I was confused for a moment... I deserve to die..."
"A moment of confusion?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Do you think I will believe this nonsense?"
He kicked Zhao Qun in the chest, and Zhao Qun screamed and spat out blood.
"Your Majesty... please spare my life... I really don't know... I was just following your orders..." Zhao Qun cried, tears streaming down his face.
"Following orders?" Ying Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Tell me! Whose order is this!"
Zhao Qun hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the fear of death, and said in a trembling voice: "It's... it's the Moon God..."
"Moon Goddess?" Ying Yuan was shocked. He didn't expect that this matter would be related to the Yin-Yang Family.
“It was…it was she who gave me poison and made me…made me…” Zhao Qun didn’t dare to say any more. He knew that he was completely finished.
Ying Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He understood that the Moon Goddess was just a pawn, and the real mastermind behind it was Donghuang Taiyi.
"Very good." Ying Yuan said coldly, "You are still useful."
He ordered his men to imprison Zhao Qun, and then immediately summoned the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess came to Ying Yuan's bedroom and saw Ying Yuan's gloomy face. She felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
"Your Majesty..." The Moon Goddess bowed slightly, her tone respectful.
"Moon God," Ying Yuan said straight to the point, "I want to ask you, is Li Ji's death related to you?"
The Moon Goddess was startled, but her face remained expressionless, "Your Majesty, I am deeply saddened by the death of Lady Li Ji, but I really had no idea."
"Not aware of it?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Zhao Qun has confessed that he poisoned Li Ji to death personally, and you gave him the poison."
The Moon Goddess's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, "Your Majesty, Zhao Qun must have been instructed by someone to deliberately slander me."
"Really?" Ying Yuan walked up to the Moon Goddess and looked down at her. "I'll give you one more chance. Tell the truth and I can spare your life."
Yue Shen looked at Ying Yuan's cold eyes, and her heart was filled with fear. She knew that Ying Yuan had already wanted to kill her.
"Your Majesty..." Yue Shen gritted her teeth, "I did give Zhao Qun poison, but I didn't know he would use it to poison Lady Li Ji."
"Oh?" Ying Yuan looked at Yue Shen with interest, "Then why did you give Zhao Qun poison?" Yue Shen hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, I...I am following the order of His Excellency Donghuang to give Zhao Qun the poison for the purpose of...for the purpose of..."
"For what?" Ying Yuan asked.
"In order... in order to control His Majesty..." The Moon Goddess's voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.
When Ying Yuan heard this, he became furious.
"Control me?" He grabbed the Moon Goddess by the collar and lifted her up. "You Yin Yang Family are so brave!"
The Moon Goddess was so frightened by Ying Yuan's anger that she trembled all over. She knew that she had completely angered Ying Yuan.
"Your Majesty... please spare my life... I have no choice..." The Moon Goddess cried, trying to beg for mercy.
But Ying Yuan had lost his mind. He threw the Moon Goddess to the ground, then drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at the Moon Goddess' throat.
"Tell me! What exactly does Donghuang Taiyi want to do!" Ying Yuan's voice was like a demon from hell, full of murderous intent.

The Moon Goddess looked at Ying Yuan's cold eyes, her heart filled with despair. She knew that she would not be able to escape death today.
"Your Excellency Donghuang... he wants... he wants..." Moon Goddess said intermittently, "He wants... to use Your Majesty... to unify the world..."
When Ying Yuan heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Donghuang Taiyi's ambition was so great.
"Unify the world?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Does he think that I will let him control me?"
The sword in his hand slowly fell...
Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside the bedroom.
"Your Majesty! It's bad! The remnants of the six kingdoms... have invaded Xianyang!"
When Ying Yuan heard this, he was shocked. He quickly retracted his sword and turned to look outside the bedroom.
Taking this opportunity, the Moon Goddess quickly got up from the ground and escaped from the bedroom.
Ying Yuan looked at Yue Shen's fleeing back, a trace of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He knew that this game had just begun...
The remnants of the six kingdoms invaded Xianyang, and the city was in chaos. Ying Yuan quickly mobilized his troops and prepared to fight.
However, he discovered that his army...
"Oh?" Ying Yuan sneered, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Do you think I will believe this nonsense?"
The Moon Goddess' heart sank, knowing that she had been completely exposed. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know. The poison was used by me to protect myself, not to poison Madam Li Ji."
"Self-defense?" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes. "You are a high priest of the Yin-Yang family, do you need to use poison to defend yourself?"
The Moon Goddess was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
Ying Yuan pressed on step by step, his tone cold: "Moon God, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences."
The Moon Goddess gritted her teeth, but ultimately could not withstand Ying Yuan's pressure, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... it is Lord Dong Huang... He ordered me to..."
"Donghuang Taiyi!" A cold light flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes. He had long guessed that this matter was related to Donghuang Taiyi. Now that it was confirmed, he was even more furious.
"Why did he poison Li Ji?" Ying Yuan's voice was low and dangerous.
The Moon Goddess hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lord Donghuang said... Queen Li Ji is pregnant... The fetus in her belly... will threaten the country of Daqin..."
"Absurd!" Ying Yuan shouted angrily, "What nonsense! The fetus in Li Ji's belly is my own flesh and blood, how can it be a threat!"
The Moon Goddess dared not say anything more, she knew that she had angered Ying Yuan. (End of this chapter)
