Chapter 1286

When Zhao Xing stepped into it.

His expression changed involuntarily.

Because he felt a vast spiritual energy from this palace.

At the same time, there was also a thick evil aura.

Making him feel like it was difficult to breathe.

This palace was clearly a place of ferocity.

However, he still spoke slowly.

"I know!"

After the voice fell, he walked toward the inner chamber.

When he arrived in the center of the room.

A scroll appeared in his sight.

On the scroll was a beautiful woman.

He saw her eyes were red.

A miserable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As if she had been isolated from the world for ten thousand years.

Zhao Xing took a step out.

His body actually fell straight to the ground.

His originally determined face was actually somewhat ferocious at this time.

However, immediately after, he returned to normal.

Beside him, Cao Zhengchun asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, have you sensed something!"

"Yes, I seem to have seen a painting!"

Zhao Xing said.

And at this time, Cao Zhengchun could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if Zhao Xing had truly discovered some secrets, he would likely be implicated as well.

And as time passed.

A look of horror appeared on Zhao Xing's face.

Because the beautiful woman on that scroll.

Seemed to have come alive.

Her eyes were like two stars.

Blooming with brilliant light.

Her whole person was even filled with a sense of enchantment.

"What is going on!"

Zhao Xing muttered.

And Cao Zhengchun was sweating profusely.

He did not know who had made this painting.

But he understood the preciousness of this thing.

And just at this time.

The woman spoke.

"Young Master Zhao, thank you for saving my life.

From now on, I am willing to follow you and serve you faithfully!"

The voice rang out, causing Cao Zhengchun to almost vomit blood.

If this matter were to spread.

How could the Great Han Emperor still face people.

But now, he could not care about so much.

He knelt directly on the ground.

Trembling, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life, this painting was stolen by this servant.

Please, Your Majesty, punish me!"

His voice carried a tone of pleading.

No matter what, he was the one who had lost the painting.

And Zhao Xing's face became increasingly cold at this time.

Following that, he shouted chillingly.

"Cao Zhengchun, do you know what crime you deserve!"

Upon hearing the voice, Cao Zhengchun trembled.

He dared not say much, only waiting for Zhao Xing's verdict.

However, following that, he heard Zhao Xing's voice.

"Considering that you have followed me for many years, I will not kill you today.

But while the death penalty can be avoided, living crimes are hard to escape; abolish one-tenth of your strength!"

Zhao Xing's voice rang out, and Cao Zhengchun's face turned pale instantly.

And Zhao Xing did not care at all.

He continued.

"From today on, you are responsible for guarding Chang'an; if anyone dares to disobey my orders, kill them without mercy!"

The cold voice made Cao Zhengchun dare not say more.

Only, he secretly complained in his heart; not only did he have no merit, but he had also almost caused the Emperor's death.

Now he had even had one-tenth of his strength abolished.

However, he dared not argue a single word.

And following that, Zhao Xing did not give him a chance.

He slammed the door and left.

Watching the opponent's departing back, Cao Zhengchun's face was extremely pale.

And at this time, Liu Zheng arrived at the Great Han Imperial Palace.
