Chapter 908: 426: Zhi Li’s death date is set!

Zhi Ning shuddered with fear upon hearing Turing Duo’s words, then quickly covered the baby’s ears.

Such a woman’s voice was a sin even to enter the baby’s ears.

Zhi Ning quietly looked at Zhi Li and said, "I have heard that the King has died. I know what you want to do. I have no objections to you using the baby to threaten Suo Lun and am even willing to cooperate. Whether it’s writing a letter or a blood letter, I will follow your instructions. However, if you intend to harm the child, kill me first, or let me know so I can take my own life. A mother who can’t even protect her own child has no right to live in this world."

Fang Qingzhuo stepped forward and said, "My lord, whatever you are doing or planning to do, I do not care. If you want to use the baby to threaten Suo Lun, I have no objections. Just do not harm the baby, and I will cooperate with anything. Even if you usurp the throne and seize power, I am willing to stand by your side and become your queen."

These words calmed Zhi Li’s frenzied heart, and he gave Turing Duo a cold glance before saying gently, "You think too much. This is my dear nephew. I cherish him too much to even think of harming him."

Indeed, Zhi Li was not so foolish, nor as twisted as Turing Duo, to start with such bloody and decisive measures.

Things must be done step by step, the threat to Suo Lun must also escalate gradually.

First, send a letter attached with the baby’s birth hair.

If Suo Lun does not compromise, then the methods can be slightly more intense, and some blood can be shown.

Zhi Li then stepped forward and gently stroked the baby’s little head, saying, "The baby is over a year old now, isn’t he? It’s time to cut his birth hair."

Zhi Ning felt a wave of chills when Zhi Li’s hand touched the baby’s head, as if she were being licked by a poisonous snake.

"Alright, I’ll cut the baby’s birth hair," Fang Qingzhuo hurriedly said. "Zhi Ning, hold the baby steady!"

Zhi Ning sat on the chair, holding the baby securely.

Fang Qingzhuo took out a dagger and carefully trimmed a long tuft of hair from the back of the baby’s head.

Both women felt a great deal of heartache; the baby was over a year old, and the birth hair was soft and long, black with hints of red, extremely adorable.

Every time, Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Ning loved to stroke and kiss the baby’s hair.

After cutting a tuft, Fang Qingzhuo held it in her palm and turned to Zhi Li, "My lord, this should be sufficient, right?"

Zhi Li nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Ning write a letter to Suo Lun."

"Okay." Zhi Ning was incredibly cooperative.

Zhi Li took out a piece of white paper from his bosom and handed it to Zhi Ning.

Zhi Ning did not use a pen, but bit her finger and wrote with her blood on the white paper: Suo Lun, your son is in the hands of my brother Zhi Li. I hope you will consider your son’s safety before making any decisions, Zhi Ning!

After finishing, Zhi Ning handed the blood letter to Zhi Li.

Zhi Li wrapped it in an envelope and placed the baby’s birth hair inside as well!

Then, after a moment of hesitation, he decided to keep Zhi Ning, the baby, and Fang Qingzhuo inside the Zhi Du Sanctuary, as only this place was the safest, where Gao Yin and others would not be able to rescue them.

"It’s chaotic and unsafe outside, you should remain here, and if you need anything, just ask," said Zhi Li gently.

"Understood," Fang Qingzhuo replied in an equally gentle voice.

After he left, the two women in the secret chamber almost collapsed, their bodies feeling completely drained of strength.

The whole process had been extremely smooth, with many of Zhi Li’s demands not even needing to be made before the two women readily complied.

Without any sarcasm or swearing, Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Ning became as docile as sheep.

But in their hearts, Zhi Li was already dead!

"Zhi Li, the day you forcefully ascend to the throne will be your end! As your wife, I will personally see you off!" Fang Qingzhuo vowed in her heart while comforting the baby.

When Zhi Li takes the throne, all the ministers and even the members of the Dragon Temple will be present!

At that time, if Fang Qingzhuo exposes the secret of the demon blood in Zhi Li’s veins, no one in the world will be able to shield him, and Zhi Li will undoubtedly die!

Though he was her husband, he was no longer worthy of being a person.

Today he could harm his own nephew, tomorrow he could harm his own daughter.

Such a beast no longer deserved to live in this world.

...

After leaving the tower, Zhi Li immediately saw two people, a Grand Priest and a Chief Judge.

The Dragon God Temple of the Rage Wave Kingdom has a dual leadership system, being led by the Holy Priest and the Chief Judge. Under them, there are four Grand Priests and Chief Judges respectively.

These eight people make up the tip of the power pyramid of the Dragon Temple of the Rage Wave Kingdom.

With Zhi Li and Yin Zhou’s infiltration over the years, half of these eight had become staunch supporters of Zhi Li.

After Zhi Li’s great defeat, two of them distanced themselves slightly from him. Still, two continued to firmly support him.

For these two, the ties to Zhi Li were inseparable. They had received too much benefit from Zhi Li, and he also held too many of their secrets, which if exposed, would lead to tremendous scandals.

"Your Highness Zhi Li, Chief Judge Luo Ge wishes to see you," said one of the Grand Priests.

Suo Lun’s expression brightened with indescribable excitement.

He had been hiding in Zhi Du Sanctuary for over seven hours. Holy Priest Ge Li was not present, and even though Chief Judge Luo Ge clearly knew he was inside the Zhi Du Sanctuary, he completely ignored it, not bothering to receive him.
