Chapter 538

After Zhu Wushi washed the court with blood using iron-fisted means, the power center of the Great Ming shifted to Zhu Wushi's hands.

In the days that followed, Zhu Wushi spent his days observing whether the old immortals in the court had any ulterior motives, and at night he returned to the Protection Dragon Villa to perceive the profound mysteries that this realm should have.

The reason why Zhu Wushi didn't make any extra moves was, firstly, that he wanted to stabilize his power in the Great Ming and continue to improve his strength, and secondly, that he was waiting for news from the Beidou Hall of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect.

After all, Tianquan had once promised Zhu Wushi that he would send him the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to save Suxin.

Now that Zhu Wushi had become the king of the entire Great Ming, he very much wanted to share this joy with Suxin.

Just when Zhu Wushi was busy with his plans for the future, a figure like a ghost entered the imperial palace without being discovered by anyone.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao, who had been in a coma, the man in black who had sneaked into the Great Ming Imperial Palace finally took off his mask.

A slightly pale face was revealed.

This person was none other than Cao Zhengchun, who had previously disappeared from the Great Ming's Heaven Prison and had been rescued by the night watchman!

"Your Majesty, your servant has come to save you."

"You have slept for so long, it is time to wake up!"

"I suppose after you wake up, the Great Ming, which has just become a bit peaceful, will become chaotic again, right?!"

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was lying on the bed in a deep sleep, and murmured with a smile.

Then he put a pill emitting a faint blue halo into Zhu Houzhao's mouth.

After finishing all this, Cao Zhengchun slowly walked into the shadows of the room, and finally the entire room became quiet again, as if everything that had just happened had never occurred.

The reason why Cao Zhengchun could appear here was all instructed by Ying Ziyu.

Ying Ziyu knew that Zhu Wushi would inevitably take control of the Great Ming in the shortest possible time using cold-blooded means, so Ying Ziyu wanted to add a heavy dose of medicine after Zhu Wushi took control of the Great Ming, letting Zhu Houzhao wake up at this time!

As long as Zhu Houzhao woke up at this time, there would be two monarchs in the Great Ming, and the Great Ming would inevitably be in a mess; this was the result Ying Ziyu wanted to see.

The next morning.

Zhu Wushi still came to the court to pay attention to whether the civil and military officials had any tendency to move differently.

After Zhu Wushi's overt and covert targeting for so many days, the ministers in the court had completely submitted to Zhu Wushi's martial power.

Seeds of fear had been planted in everyone's heart by Zhu Wushi.

Originally, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Zhu Wushi's plan.

Zhu Wushi was also very satisfied with the performance of everyone in the main hall at this time, but before Zhu Wushi could show his talents and realize his ambitions.

Something that made Zhu Wushi furious and made the originally peaceful court boil again happened at this time.

Zhu Houzhao had woken up!

Upon learning the news of Zhu Houzhao's awakening, the mentality of the civil and military officials in the originally peaceful court changed slightly again.

And Zhu Wushi on the dragon chair could naturally sense the subtle changes in their expressions.

"Hmph¨.!"

Following Zhu Wushi's cold snort, a faint chill appeared on the civil and military officials.

Feeling this chill, the ministers in the court knelt down one after another, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The reason why the ministers became as cowardly as they were now.

It was not because they had lost their backbone or personality during their time as officials.

But because during the time Zhu Wushi returned, they had seen too many officials who did not obey Zhu Wushi being slaughtered in the dark by Zhu Wushi's people; several cases of extermination had occurred within just a few days.

If there was a chance, who wouldn't want to be a person with backbone? But the price of having backbone was having your entire clan slaughtered; this was a price they couldn't afford!

So now they could only bear it silently.

Looking at everyone kneeling on the ground, Zhu Wushi also knew in his heart that these people hadn't really submitted to him, but were just afraid of his power.

Zhu Wushi knew that if he wanted these people to truly follow him, he had to destroy all the beliefs in their hearts.

Now what he had to do was to get rid of Zhu Houzhao!

As long as Zhu Houzhao was eliminated, there would be no second person in the Great Ming who could threaten his position.

Subsequently, Zhu Wushi left the main hall and walked directly to the place where Zhu Houzhao was recovering from his injuries.

After Zhu Wushi just left the main hall, the table in front of the dragon chair turned into powder silently.

Seeing this scene, the ministers in the court were even more scared, and no one dared to get up and leave the main hall.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Wushi arrived outside the main hall where Zhu Houzhao had been recovering.
