Chapter 345 I Want to Go to the Soul Palace
"presumptuous!"
"inability!"
The empress's angry voice could be heard from a long distance away.
Ah Heng knelt on the ground, not daring to move, while the talkative servant was executed directly.
After not hearing the empress's voice for a long time, Ah Heng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, things have come to this point, please take care of yourself and wait for the imperial master to come back before thinking of a solution."
Starting from the night before yesterday, several black lines suddenly appeared on His Majesty's neck. Even the Imperial Preceptor was helpless and had to leave the palace overnight to find a solution, but there has been no news since he left.
Now that the black lines are almost growing on his face and affecting the morning court, His Majesty has no choice but to summon Chu Youhuang.
Unexpectedly, Chu Youhuang was so arrogant that she asked His Majesty to fast and bathe for three days before waiting for her summons. No wonder His Majesty was so angry. Who knows what will happen in three days.
Suddenly Ah Heng's eyes lit up. Could it be...
Slightly raising his eyes to glance at the empress sitting in front of the mirror, Ah Heng hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, why not summon Princess Shude to the palace? She has a wide network of contacts and may be able to find a solution."
"What are you standing there for? Go and invite them!"
Ever since the accident with her face, the empress's temper has become worse and worse, and she would scold the eunuchs who accompanied her at every turn.
Ah Heng said "yes" softly and left the bedroom. He ordered someone to harness the carriage and go to the Princess's Mansion, secretly lamenting the big game played by the Marquis of Wushen's Mansion.
Even if Your Majesty already knows, he will still go in the direction they want. It is time to consider yourself. You can't just follow Your Majesty until the end.
His Majesty's sudden rejuvenation was the work of Princess Shude. Naturally, she anticipated His Majesty's situation. Going to her for help would only make His Majesty fall deeper into trouble. Princess Shude wanted to manipulate His Majesty and support her son Yu Chengjing to ascend to the throne, but she didn't know that there was another person who was also coveting the throne.
Compared with Princess Shude, that person can at least allow the people to live a good life and ensure that the beautiful land is not trampled upon by foreign enemies.
Outside the palace gate, the carriage had already been prepared.
Ah Heng rode on a horse and drove slowly towards the Princess's Mansion, which was not far from the Imperial Palace.
The Princess's Mansion was chopped by Youhuang's sword last time, but now it has been rebuilt and is even more magnificent than before.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. What Youhuang learned in the palace had spread throughout Tiandu very early, and Princess Shude naturally received the news.
"Prepare the car."
After Princess Shude confirmed the news, she ordered people to prepare the carriage.
Yu Chengjing was also nearby, and asked in confusion: "Mother is preparing the carriage, is she going out to scold Chu Youhuang?"
"What are you thinking about?" Princess Shude shook her head and smiled, "Even your majesty doesn't dare to do it, so how can mother dare to do it? But your majesty should want to see mother."
"Is there no one in Fuguang who can deal with Chu Youhuang?" Yu Chengjing asked unwillingly. When he had just entered the palace to study, he could still stand opposite and talk, but now even if the emperor wanted to see him, he had to fast and bathe in advance and wait to be summoned.
Princess Shude said with a look of regret: "Originally, Gu Xi could still compete with her, but unfortunately he escaped from my control. It was a waste of effort."
"Just train another one." Yu Chengjing said disapprovingly.
"It's not that easy." Princess Shude sighed and said, "To cultivate magic, you need the flesh and blood of your loved ones. How many people can be so cruel as to eat the flesh and blood of their loved ones? Gu Xi was forced to ask his mother for help because he had no other choice. There is no suitable candidate at the moment."
"Where is General Zhenyuan's mansion?"
Thinking of Chen Jinnan, who died in a strange manner, he strongly recommended: "Although the government office has found out that Chen Jinnan died at the hands of a fox demon, General Zhenyuan still feels that if Chu Youhuang hadn't interrupted his son's good deeds, his son wouldn't have stayed in the palace school and been possessed by the fox demon. They have been trying to find a way to deal with Chu Youhuang."
"General Zhenyuan's Mansion..." Princess Shude sneered, "In order to continue their bloodline, they can openly do things that violate human ethics. Do you think they will sacrifice the lives of their entire family for a useless thing?"
"Her Majesty has already been infected with the devil's aura, so why not let her cultivate the devil."
“No.” Princess Shude said coldly: “If Yu Chuxi cultivates magic, it will be exactly what Chu Youhuang wants.”
"But considering your majesty's current condition, it won't last long." From various signs, Yu Chengjing guessed that Yu Chuxi was already showing signs of being possessed by a demon.
"It will be fine if we can hold off until Chu Youhuang enters the Immortal Sect." Emperor Shude smiled and said, "There is still a year before the Immortal Sect election begins. Chu Youhuang will have to participate in the Immortal Sect election and join a sect in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Once he enters a sect, he will be bound by the laws of the Cultivation Realm and will not be able to come to the Human Realm at will."
"so……"
"We have to prevent His Majesty from becoming possessed by the devil."
As soon as Princess Shude finished speaking, she heard someone outside announce, "Lady Princess, His Majesty summons you to the palace."
The mother and son smiled at each other. Princess Shude raised her arms, and two female officials tidied her clothes for her. She walked out of the Princess's Mansion with an air of pride.
"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Emperor!"
Ah Heng greeted the guests as usual. In fact, when he saw the carriage that had been parked in front of the mansion, he realized that everything was as expected.
Princess Shude glanced at Ah Heng and said, "He Shang Gong, His Majesty is used to reviewing memorials after the court meeting. Why did you suddenly summon me at this time today?"
"Your Majesty is ill, today's court meeting will be presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ah Heng's words seemed to be an answer but not an answer. Princess Shude smiled and said, "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up, it is a great honor for Your Majesty to be able to help Your Majesty handle court affairs."
I almost forgot, there is this stumbling block.
Yu Chuxi cannot practice magic, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yu Chengjue can.
"Let's go."
Princess Shude raised her arms in front of Ah Heng.
Ah Heng was stunned for a moment and raised her hand to support him, saying, "I will help the Empress to get on the phoenix carriage."
The eunuchs accompanying him were stunned when they saw this scene, but when they thought of the fate of the eunuch before, they all pretended not to see it.
After settling Princess Shude, Ah Heng got in his own carriage and followed behind slowly towards the palace. Unexpectedly, before the team had gone far, the princess's phoenix carriage suddenly tilted to the left.
what……
Princess Shude's screams followed.
Ah Heng quickly stopped the team and walked forward quickly to check the situation.
When I got closer, I found that the left wheel of the Phoenix Chariot had suddenly broken, causing the entire body of the chariot to tilt to one side.
The accompanying palace maids were busy helping Princess Shude out, and Ah Heng also hurried forward to help. However, before she could get close, the carriage suddenly ran like crazy, and the phoenix chariot with only one wheel was dragged several feet away and fell apart.
Princess Shude also fell out of the carriage and fainted on the spot. Naturally, she could not enter the palace to see the empress.
When Ah Heng disappeared back to the palace, the empress was so angry that she smashed everything in the bedroom and shouted loudly: "You are all forcing me, you are all forcing me to die, but I want to live well for you to see... No one can touch the Yu family's kingdom."
"His Majesty……"
Ah Heng looked at the empress worriedly.
The empress hesitated for a moment before saying, "Make arrangements. I need to go to the Hundred Souls Hall."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that." Ah Heng looked at the empress in surprise and said, "The Grand Ancestor has instructed that unless it is a matter of life and death, the descendants of the Yu family are not allowed to enter the Baihun Palace."
"Now is a matter of life and death."
The empress blew away the candle in front of the mirror and plunged herself into darkness.
