fake prince

Chapter 991 Destroying the Sacrifice
"Yes, this servant will report..."

Ma Shunde kowtowed, and searched the city with Huo Wuyong, and searched Dai Wangfu, which was simple and clear, and told the emperor everything.

The long speech was condensed and finished in a moment. After finishing speaking, Ma Shunde knelt on the ground and waited.

"Well..." After listening to the emperor, he was silent, and he didn't speak for a while, and the whole room was filled with the sound of breathing, and the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

After a while, the emperor frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

These words did not seem to be asking himself, so Ma Shunde's heart sank. Could it be that he was asking Eunuch Zhao?

The next moment, a voice was heard from the side: "Your Majesty, what I saw and heard is no different from what Eunuch Ma said."

"There are no traces of robbers in the city or in the Daiwang Palace."

Even in the presence of outsiders in front of the emperor, Huo Wuyong did not use his exquisite heart to say that the emperor wanted to live long and used the human heart as medicine.

Huo useless?
Ma Shunde resisted not to look at it, secretly startled, why did Huo Wuyong come back?
That's right, King Qi was assassinated, and everyone was in a mess. At the beginning, I could still see Huo Wuyong, but then I couldn't see it anymore. Because of the chaos at that time, I was also in a state of confusion, so I didn't think about other things. Now that I think about it, Huo Wuyong Or he returned to the palace at that time and reported to the emperor first.

If I hadn't dared to make false statements, I would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor just now - I really didn't expect this guy to be so insidious!

Ma Shunde felt a trace of hatred in his heart, but lowered his head even more.

Huo Wuyong stopped, and the whole hall fell into complete silence.

After a while, the emperor looked up again, and his eyes fell on Ma Shunde: "When King Qi had an accident, you were just checking on behalf of the palace?"

Ma Shunde just raised his head to peek, and met the emperor's eyes, his heart trembled.

This question is a little sensitive, Ma Shunde was a little hesitant, he didn't know what to answer right now, if he answered wrongly, it might lead to death, so he had to be careful.

Huo Wuyong immediately responded: "Your Majesty, we were indeed searching the Dai Wang Mansion at that time. At that time, there were all the personnel in the Dai Wang Mansion, which is the same as the mansion register."

This time, the hesitant Ma Shunde was revealed.

Eunuch Zhao stood beside the emperor, witnessed this scene, and secretly scolded the idiot. Don't tell me about this kind of thing, wouldn't the emperor know about it?

The first time I returned, it might not make the emperor angry, after all, it was indeed a coincidence.

He hesitated, with the character of the emperor, I'm afraid he would become suspicious.

Even if he knew that this matter would not have anything to do with Ma Shunde, but as the lord of the world, as long as the emperor had a little doubt, Ma Shunde would find it difficult to bear it.

Ma Shunde was not stupid, he hesitated for a moment, and when he heard Huo Wuyong's answer, he immediately reacted, and a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

But now the best time to answer has been missed, speaking again at this moment will only make things worse.

In the silent atmosphere, only the emperor sat thoughtfully, tapped his fingers on his knees, after a long time, stood up, and walked out.

A touch of purple flashed in front of his eyes, and Ma Shunde, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little dumbfounded. Should he continue to kneel here now, or follow him out?
Looking at Eunuch Zhao who was following him, he gritted his teeth, and Ma Shunde got up too, bowing his waist and following behind.

Huo Wuyong glanced at him, seeing that the eunuch didn't look at him, he knew in his heart that after what happened tonight, no matter if it was Dai Wang or Ma Shunde, they were all offended, as long as he thought about it, he would feel bad, but he had to follow go up.

There were many steps in front of the hall, the emperor came out with his hands behind his back, a gust of wind rushed in with the smell of rain, he stood on the steps and looked into the distance in a daze, the palace lanterns on the verandahs were lit, and eunuchs stood in the corner, all holding whisks in their hands and not looking sideways.

Occasionally, court ladies and eunuchs come and go, they are all flat soft shoes, and their steps are light. From a distance, you can see the guards with knives hanging from their waists.

It was still raining, thick clouds were flying fast, and most of the sky had been covered, and the gaps in the clouds were shining brightly in the distance, and there were dull rolling thunder sounds from time to time.

"God's will..." All three of them have Taoism or martial arts, and have keen eyes and ears. When the emperor murmured this sentence, no one dared to speak, but just waited even more.

After a long time, the emperor turned around and said, "I have honored God's will to establish this country, and its fortune is rising like the sun. These ghosts and gods not only don't think about their crimes, but dare to attack the prince. It is acceptable to demolish their temples immediately. Destroy its worship, destroy its god!"

Although the voice was not loud, on the contrary it was very soft, but the sudden sound, with the same content, almost made the knees of the people around them go soft.

"Go and draw up the decree!" The emperor looked at Eunuch Zhao, who immediately bowed and agreed.

Seeing Ma Shunde, don't mention it in his heart, he had already suppressed Eunuch Zhao, but from today onwards, he is afraid that he will come out again, and he may be reprimanded.

The emperor didn't look at him, but looked at Huo Wuyong: "You are ordered to urge the Taoist sect to cooperate, and there must be no mistakes!"

Huo Wuyong hurriedly agreed, his heart shuddered, and he just sighed.

This kind of ghosts and gods can gain a foothold in the capital, regardless of whether they are officials or not, they have a foundation. Now that the king is angry, hundreds of years of Taoism will be in vain.

But attacking and killing the prince was not injustice.

Eunuch Zhao listened with lowered eyes, thinking to himself: "I'm afraid that other shrines in the capital will suffer as well."

There is a saying that when the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.

Compared with people like Ma Shunde, it is more likely for the emperor to anger the shrine in the capital.

There is no need to specifically decree what to do with those shrines, just look at the attitude of the emperor, smart people will stay away from these shrines in the future, so as not to be implicated.

He was about to draw up the decree, at this moment, a eunuch trotted over in the rain and fog, and kowtowed in the rain.

"What's the matter?" The emperor took a look and remembered that it was someone who was specially assigned to deal with the Dai Palace, so he asked lightly. After listening to the inquiry, the eunuch no longer hesitated: "Your Majesty, this servant has just received the news that Dai Wangfei has a fetal gas. Now it's time to give birth!"

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhao glanced at him, and Ma Shunde couldn't help being startled.

Hearing a "boom", a flash of lightning illuminated a palace palely, the plantain kudzu vines trembled, the queen sat up with disheveled hair, and asked the female officer who hurried over: "Is this really true?"

"Really, ma'am!"

"Ma Shunde and Huo Wuyong searched for the robbers and broke into Dai Wang's mansion for inspection."

"At this moment, King Qi came out at night and was attacked, and his life and death were uncertain."

"Princess Dai may have been shocked by the search of the mansion, and she became pregnant. When the servants got the news, they heard that the midwife in the palace of Dai Wang had gone to the main courtyard. This is absolutely true!"

The queen stood up in her clothes, walked to the door, watched the heavy wind and rain, counted the time, and gradually relaxed her frowning brows.

"According to the time, the Dai Wangfei should have given birth, it's not a big deal."

"It's just that Ma Shunde and Huo Wuyong broke into Daiwang's mansion to search for robbers? This old man did it anyway, but he didn't seem to do anything?"

"Or is my grandson not eligible for it?"

"As for King Qi, why would he come out at night and be impeached for nothing? At such a time, I always feel a little strange..."

The queen didn't think about it any further, and just ordered: "Go, get all the elixir prepared from my private treasury, and send it to Daiwang's mansion immediately."

"Yes!"
