On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"Although I am old, I still have the confidence to do my job well, and I am willing to continue to serve the court and the Yan country until my death." Xue Shanguan, the minister of Dali Temple, said without being humble or arrogant.

Then several ministers came out with tacit understanding.

"I feel that Master Xue can still serve the imperial court."

"I believe that Mr. Xue is loyal to the court and should not retire and return to his hometown prematurely."

"I second the proposal."

"..."

With so many people trying to bully the false emperor, the false emperor felt guilty.

"Then let Master Xue stay in office."

"I feel unwell today and will withdraw from the court."

Thinking of something, he added: "I will be off court for seven days starting from today. If you have anything to say, please send me the memorial."

After the fake emperor finished speaking, he stood up from the throne and made a habitual movement without realizing it.

The ministers below were stunned when they saw it.

Could this fake be a eunuch?

Is the real emperor just joking or something happened?

With Xiao Huai's temperament, he would not make such a big joke with the court officials.

Therefore, the real emperor must be in bad luck.

Who is this person who dares to pretend to be the emperor?

The civil servants decided to plan and act later to avoid big trouble.

"Yes."

The ministers greeted him with a slight greeting, then looked at each other and left the Jinluan Hall.

The Taifu discussed with the Prime Minister:

"Prime Minister Cao, we don't have much official business today, how about we go to Zuixian Pavilion for a drink?"

This Zuixian Pavilion is the private property of the regent and princess.

The cook and shopkeeper there were all members of the regent.

They also wanted to use this to unite the regent faction to figure out the true and false emperor incident.

It is the most appropriate place to discuss matters over drinks and meals.

"How about you all go together?" Prime Minister Cao looked at the other officials.

"Then let's go together."

As a result, dozens of civil and military ministers collectively left the palace early to go drink.

When the fake emperor returned to the Yangxin Hall, the queen immediately dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, and asked him anxiously in a low voice: "How was the morning session today? Didn't those ministers see anything strange?"

"I'm afraid I discovered some differences in subtle ways." Taoist priest Dongming said irritably.

"I said you were too reckless and wanted to sit on the dragon chair in a hurry. Your identity will be exposed as soon as you sit on the dragon chair." Wu Ling complained angrily.

"Who told you that you couldn't help but come to look for me last night? If Xiao Huai hadn't found out, we wouldn't have had to rush into battle in such a hurry."

Taoist priest Dongming also blamed her.

"Forget it, let's think of a countermeasure quickly. These old foxes have already tested me with words in the court. I said that my dragon body is unwell and I will rest for seven days. I am afraid that an imperial doctor will be arranged to come here soon to verify my authenticity."

"Then send Xiao Huai over quickly." Wu Ling said: "Let him stay sick until the prince in my belly is born, and then deal with him."

"This is also a solution. Come with me to Guanxing Pavilion to change him back, and then plan carefully later." Taoist Dongming was also scared.

There are many eyes and ears of the regent in this palace.

If things come to light too early, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Fortunately, I didn't kill Xiao Huai yesterday, so it was still useful.

So the queen accompanied the fake emperor to the Star Gazing Pavilion to pray for blessings.

Xiao Huai was meditating and resting in the secret room when he suddenly saw the stone door open, and a man with the same appearance as him wearing a dragon robe and Emperor Liu came in.

His eyes were suddenly filled with anger.

Sure enough, the national master had faked his identity.

However, in order to save his life, he quickly calmed down his emotions.

In critical moments, do your best and stay calm.

"Xiao Huai, you have been poisoned by my secret poison. If you can cooperate with us and perform the trick well, I will protect you from death."

The false emperor opened his mouth and spoke.

Xiao Huai watched his mouth open and close, but no sound could be heard.

Wu Ling thought that he had been poisoned and became deaf and mute, so he took a pen and wrote for him.

After Xiao Huai read it, he nodded numbly.

He thought that as long as he could get out, he would have the opportunity to expose the two of them in the future.

You have to go out to have life.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Dongming changed his clothes with him and force-fed him a black scorpion.

The scorpion stirred in his belly, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.

However, his hearing was restored.

"Xiao Huai, I can hear what you are thinking right now. If you dare not cooperate, this worm will get into your heart and kill you instantly."

Wu Ling warned coldly.

"What do you want me to cooperate with?"

Xiao Huai opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't hear his own voice.
