Chapter 267 Something is wrong with the emperor
When Daoyin heard the voice, he looked at each other and the seventh prince, and the two hurriedly hid behind the bed curtain.
Eunuch Jiang listened carefully and did not hear any indescribable sound.
Then he cautiously shouted: "Your Majesty."
"The Duke of Zhenguo asked to see you, saying that he had something important to report."
The nervous Daoyin raised a sneer from his lips when he heard this.
Since he had delivered it to his door, he would not have to be summoned by the emperor.
Daoyin walked out from behind the bed curtain and muttered silently to the emperor.
The thick fog-like blackness in the emperor's eyes flashed across the waves, and then the emperor's eyes returned to the color of a normal person.
But if you look carefully, you can still see that these eyes are lifeless and empty, and then you hear the emperor say:
"Ask the Duke of Zhen to go to the side hall, I will be there soon."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Jiang replied respectfully, and then he heard Concubine Yuan Gui's delicate voice coming from inside.
"Your Majesty, I am waiting for you to change your clothes."
Eunuch Jiang did not doubt that he was there, so he turned around and went out to ask the young eunuch to inform Duke Zhen.
After a while, he ran back with strange eyes and whispered in Eunuch Jiang's ear:
"My father-in-law, the Duke of Zhenguo said that this matter is of great importance and he must report it to the emperor in the imperial study."
"Royal study room?"
Eunuch Jiang frowned.
Why did the Duke of Zhen have such a request? In the past, when the Duke of Zhen asked for an audience late at night, the emperor would always arrange it in the imperial concubine's side hall.
Today, uncharacteristically, he asked to be seen in the royal study.
Such an abnormality shows that the important matters reported by the Zhenguo Duke are most likely related to Yuan Guifei, or the seventh prince.
Eunuch Jiang was a good man, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning of Zhen Guo Gong's words.
After thinking about it, Eunuch Jiang quickly walked into the inner room and reported to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Duke Zhenguo said that the relationship is very important and he wants to see you in the imperial study."
Concubine Yuan Gui, who was dressing the emperor inside, glanced at Daoyin.
Daoyin smiled disdainfully, as expected he couldn't wait to report the seventh prince overnight.
It's a pity that they missed the move by one move and were overtaken by them.
"I understand."
The emperor dressed neatly and strode towards the imperial study room.
After the emperor and his entourage left, Daoyin's face was hidden under his large black cloak, and he quietly followed the emperor.
Outside the Imperial Study Room, Duke Zhenguo stood in a dignified manner, but his eyes glanced around unconsciously.
After a while, a group of people walked over not far away, it was the emperor.
The Duke of Zhen came forward respectfully and saluted:
"Wei Chen has met the emperor."
"No courtesy, come in."
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a golden sword and looked at the Duke of Zhen below with an expressionless face.
Duke Zhen Guo lowered his head and did not see the emperor's expression.
There was nothing strange about the emperor.
"See me late at night. What's important?"
"Your Majesty, when Wu Yong, the former Minister of War, was imprisoned in Tianlao, you asked the minister to investigate whether there was a mastermind behind Wu Yong.
Wu Yong, who was imprisoned in the sky jail at that time, died for no reason, and the investigation was interrupted.
However, Wei Chen recently obtained new evidence and found the mastermind behind Wu Yong's rebellion. "
"Oh? Really? Who is it?"
Listening to the emperor's calm tone, the Duke of Zhen was stunned for a moment.
The emperor's tone is wrong.
Why am I not excited or looking forward to it at all?
The king and his ministers had been together for more than ten years, and the Duke of Zhen noticed something strange about the emperor.
The Duke of Zhen couldn't help but look up at the emperor above him.
This sight could not help but frighten the Duke of Zhen.
The emperor's eyes were dull and he stared at him expressionlessly.
This kind of expression should not appear on a living person.
More like a puppet.
"Your Majesty, you...what's wrong with you?"
The Duke of Zhen couldn't help but exclaimed.
Just listen to the emperor suddenly raise his voice:
"Come here and capture Duke Zhen Guo."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the imperial study room suddenly opened, and two guards rushed in and arrested Duke Zhen.
Standing outside the imperial study room, Eunuch Jiang was startled by the sudden turn of events.
What's going on, Your Majesty?
How come the Duke of Zhen was suddenly arrested?
He was left by the late emperor to the emperor. Before his death, the late emperor clearly told the emperor to trust and treat kindly the people who hold the government and the palace.
The emperor has been doing this since he ascended the throne.
What happened today?
Eunuch Jiang quickly ran into the hall, thinking of the late emperor's entrustment before his death.
At this time, Duke Zhen Guo was already kneeling on the ground under the pressure of two imperial guards.
The emperor sat at the top and announced the crime of Duke Zhenguo with an expressionless face:
"Those who commit crimes below the level of the Duke of Zhenguo and deceive the emperor will be thrown into the sky prison and executed on a certain day."
Eunuch Jiang's eyes widened in shock.
When Eunuch Jiang bravely looked directly at Long Yan, his eyes widened even more.
At this time, the emperor's eyes turned dark.
This is obviously not normal.
Like...possessed!
Eunuch Jiang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously remembered what the emperor had done a few days ago.
Duke Zhen Guo killed the longevity cult and seized a box of black beads.
Although Duke Zhen Guo had repeatedly warned the emperor not to touch the bead before he left.
But the emperor couldn't help but be curious.
It was also to verify the words left by the late emperor.
The emperor then asked one of his men to touch the black beads.
Wisps of black energy came out of the black beads.
As a result, the subordinate who was surrounded by black energy was just like the emperor now.
Eyes dark.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, like a puppet being manipulated.
What did the emperor do at that time?
He took out Yuxi and asked his men to hold Yuxi.
A burst of golden light burst out from the jade seal.
The black energy around his men dissipated like an evil ghost encountering gods and Buddhas.
The emperor saw the evil ways of the black beads with his own eyes and ordered the black beads to be locked up so that he could no longer be curious.
Yuxi, yes, Yuxi!
Eunuch Jiang didn't care much, ran to the emperor in a few steps and opened the box containing the imperial seal.
Without any explanation, he thrust the jade seal into the emperor's hand.
The late emperor said before his death that the jade seal contained a cultivation seal of Master Wuchen.
If the emperor is seen to be possessed by evil spirits in the future, he will take out the jade seal and let the emperor hold it.
The cultivation level added by Master Wuchen in the jade seal will automatically eliminate the emperor's evil spirits.
Sure enough, the moment the emperor's hand touched the jade seal, the jade seal suddenly glowed with golden light.
Wisps of black energy emerged from the emperor's body.
Perhaps the golden light on the jade seal was fighting against the evil energy on the emperor's body, and the emperor suddenly screamed in pain.
Subconsciously, he wanted to let go of Yuxi.
Eunuch Jiang did not dare to slack off and grabbed the emperor's hand desperately to prevent him from letting go of the jade seal.
The emperor screamed in pain even louder.
This scene made the Duke of Zhen and the two imperial guards dumbfounded.
The Imperial Guards looked at this scene in shock, not knowing how to react.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked around, feeling anxious.
Didn't Wanwan, Jingnian and the others follow them into the palace?
The emperor is like this, what about them?
The Duke of Zhen had just finished his thoughts when he heard Su Wan's clear voice coming from outside:
"The devil dares to use magic to control the emperor and risk his life."
Duke Zhenguo broke free from the control of the two guards and shouted at them:
"Why are you standing there? Go and help Eunuch Jiang protect the emperor."
With that said, Duke Zhenguo rushed out of the hall.
Eunuch Jiang pressed the emperor's hand to prevent him from letting go of the jade seal. The emperor, who was in unbearable pain, kicked Eunuch Jiang vigorously with his feet.
Trying to kick Eunuch Jiang away.
Eunuch Jiang was slapped several times by the emperor, and he grimaced in pain.
