Chapter 1737

For a while, everyone talked about the words that Emperor Hou Yi had left!

“What’s the matter? How are these words engraved on the jade platform?”

“Remember that time when Zhu Bajie offended Empress Chang Er. and Emperor Hou Yi trapped him in the

formation?”

“Were Empress Chang Er and Zhu Bajie dating then? And His Majesty accidentally saw them, and that was why he

died?”

The discussions were in a very soft tone, but Chang Er could hear them clearly!

Chang Er blushed, and her brain buzzed. She was distraught. ‘How could this happen? Zhu Bajie and I are innocent

in this. Why did His Majesty engrave our names on the jade platform?’

For a time, the atmosphere in the room was extremely grave.

Darryl laughed in his heart.

‘Is that the clue?’

Darryl guessed that the Emperor must have fallen to his voice trick. He must have heard that Zhu Bajie and Chang

Er were dating. Then, he engraved both of their names on the jade platform with his fingers.

When Emperor Hou Yi looked back and realized that Darryl had been the only person there, it was already too late.

“Yang Jian!”

Chang Er recovered her senses and looked at Yang Jian quietly. “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean?”

Yang Jian took a step forward; he was an awe-inspiring figure. “I don’t think I need to explain more about this. You

should know better. Why did His Majesty engrave Zhu Bajie and your name on the jade platform?”

Yang Jian’s voice turned cold as he stared at Chang Er. He said, “Why don’t you tell us if His Majesty’s death is

related to you? Also, is Zhu Bajie hidden in the palace?”

“You—”

Chang Er shuddered when she heard Yang Jian’s stern question. She was angry as she pointed at Yang Jian. “Yang

Jian, you are too arrogant!”

As Emperor Hou Yi’s wife, Chang Er was embarrassed when Yang Jian questioned her in front of so many people.

More importantly, Yang Jian even slandered Zhu Bajie and her name.

She could not take it anymore!

Yang Jian remained fearless and kept his somber face, even when he sensed Chang Er’s anger.

Phew!

Darryl was deeply shaken. It was as he expected—Grandmaster Erlang even dared to question Chang Er!

The hundreds of civil and military officials around them held their breath.

On the one hand was Empress Chang Er, the world’s mother figure. On the other hand was Grandmaster Erlang,

who had a superior status. They dared not offend either of them.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room seemed extremely gloomy.

“Yang Jian!”

Suddenly, a tall and burly figure stepped forward. His eyes were wide in fury as he yelled at Yang Jian, “You are too

bold! How dare you slander the Empress! What’s your intention?”

The person held a pair of giant hammers; he was so tall that he looked like a hill. He also had an oppressive aura;

he was as ferocious as a ghost from hell.

That was E Lai!

E Lai was a famous warrior in the olden days, and he had cultivated for thousands of years. In the Three Kingdoms’

historical materials, Cao Cao once praised E Lai as the Long-standing E Lai—that was how brave E Lai was!
