Dressed as Prince Gou, the system forced me to be exposed

Imperial Palace, Palace of Eternal Life.

The empty hall was completely silent, with only the curling green smoke rising from the incense burner adding a touch of life to the dark and gloomy environment.

After Emperor Chang finished meditating, he stood up and wanted to go to the dragon chair to rest for a while.

However, as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy.

After stumbling on the spot a few times, he still couldn't steady his center of gravity and fell to the ground suddenly.

The eunuch next to him was frightened and rushed up to help him.

"Go away."

However, Emperor Chang pushed him away with all his strength and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I am an immortal, do I need help from a eunuch like you?"

After saying that, he continued to swing towards the dragon chair.

boom.

When he reached the steps, he fell to the ground again.

As if he didn't believe in evil, Emperor Chang stood up again, but his arm strength was too weak, and he fell down only halfway, hitting his forehead on the steps, and blood suddenly flowed out.

"Haha, I am an immortal."

Changdi didn't seem to feel the pain, and instead let out crazy laughter, which sounded a bit scary.

After being scolded, the chief eunuch did not dare to step forward to help him and could only watch from a distance.

"Five-clawed golden dragon, colorful divine phoenix...are you all here to pick me up? Very good, very good." Emperor Chang turned over and lay on the steps, pointing to the top of the hall, and murmured.

But when the eunuch looked up, there was nothing above.

puff!

Emperor Chang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Then, his arm slumped down, and there was no more movement.

The great eunuch felt that something was wrong. He had the courage to walk over and take a look. He almost fainted from fright. He quickly crawled to Emperor Chang's side and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly..." "

However, Emperor Chang remained unresponsive.

In the corner, an old Taoist priest with a sinister eyebrow glanced here and then silently exited the Hall of Eternal Life.

……

Jade Capital City, a loft somewhere.

The old Taoist priest hurriedly stepped up, bowed to a figure sitting by the window, and then said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Chang has passed away."

After hearing this, the figure at the window did not react much, as if he had expected all this. He clapped his hands, and several more figures suddenly appeared in the room.

"The 'change of weather' we have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived. Next, let's all act according to our plans." He ordered lazily.

"Yes." Several people bowed and responded.

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but frowned and asked weakly: "What is the poor Taoist doing? Does the Lord have any arrangements?"

"You!" The figure at the window flicked his fingers, tapped the armrest of the chair, and said slowly: "Your mission has been completed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of blood came out of the old Taoist priest's throat.

He turned around incredulously...

He saw a warrior standing behind him, holding a dagger in his hand, and his blood was dripping on it.

……

In the palace, there were hurried footsteps everywhere.

East Palace, the residence of Prince Jiang Wugu.

He was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.

"Your Highness, please calm down." The staff soothed: "His Majesty passed away suddenly without leaving any will. You are the legitimate heir to the throne. What we have to do next is to prevent others from coveting you."

"You mean the third brother?" Jiang Wugu's face was gloomy.

The only person qualified to compete with him for the throne is Jiang Yu, the third child.

Jiang Wugou said bitterly: "The third child must have had a premonition that my father was about to die, so he hurriedly left Yujing City a few days ago to join his grandfather Ming Guogong. Now Gao Renniaofei wants to get rid of him." I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort.”

The staff thought for a moment, and then said: "We will talk about this later. The top priority is to control the palace and Jade City first, so that we can have a foothold. In addition, we must urgently mobilize our uncle, General Han, to return to Beijing, so that we can sit back and relax."

"But my uncle is guarding the northern border. If he withdraws, I'm afraid the Dayuan Dynasty will take the opportunity to invade." Jiang Wugou said worriedly.

"I can't control that much anymore. If I can't keep the throne, what's the point of everything else?"

Jiang Wugou nodded: "You're right. I believe you have a plan, so I'll do what you want."

The staff took the order and left.

……

Night in the imperial concubine's chamber.

A maid ran in to report.

"Your Majesty, King Pingnan ordered someone to bring a letter, saying that he misses you and His Highness the Seventh Prince very much. He hopes you can take him back to stay for a while. He will leave now."

Concubine Ye was stunned: "But Your Majesty just..."

"No buts," the maid said seriously.

Concubine Ye looked at her deeply and finally... nodded.

……

Ye Qinghan and Shui Ningshang rushed to the Holy City of Skyfire while paying attention to the news about Huo Yingyue.

Disappointingly, however, they learned nothing along the way.

One dusk, the two finally arrived at the Holy City.

Different from the villages seen on the road, the Holy City is a real city. Although it is far less prosperous than the Yujing City of the Dali Dynasty, from a distance it can be regarded as a tiger perched on a dragon's plate, with extraordinary momentum.

After the two entered the city, they planned to find a place to live first, and then slowly explore the situation.

Since Huo Yingyue left Jueci City, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, which made Ye Qinghan feel panicked.

Could it be that she had really been caught by the high priest and controlled secretly?
