Great Li Martial God

Champion Marquis Huo Xian said nothing. Though on the surface Consort Jing had died of illness brought on by grief, both he and Li Ruan'an had investigated the matter, and found that she had been poisoned with an extremely unusual substance.

This poison was beyond detection by ordinary means, but worked slowly over time to damage its victim's body, growing worse with every passing day, until finally no remedy could save her and she breathed her last.

As for who had administered the poison, Huo Xian and Li Ruan'an had investigated everyone around Consort Jing without turning up the culprit.

And so Li Ruan'an had turned her suspicion toward Li Zhi, and eventually found the very poison used on Consort Jing within Li Zhi's residence.

"How does Your Highness intend to act?"

Champion Marquis Huo Xian spoke up to ask, and Li Ruan'an replied in a perfectly calm voice, "Li Zhi cannot leave the imperial prison anytime soon. To kill him, I will naturally have to go inside."

At those words, Champion Marquis Huo Xian furrowed his brow slightly and offered a reminder, "Your Highness should be aware that Li Zhi appears to have a connection with the Soul Chaser Hall that is no ordinary one. And the imperial prison is guarded by powerful experts. Getting inside will not be easy."

Li Ruan'an shook her head and looked at Huo Xian, "What could be more natural than me paying him a visit in the prison?"

Huo Xian fell silent for a moment, "In that case, would the entire world not know that Your Highness killed Li Zhi?"
