After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible
Chapter 13 The Emperor's Suspicion
"Master, aren't you talking about the Wusu Pearl? Also known as the Death Pearl. Of course I have it. In our world, this medicine is very powerful! If taken, it can kill a person instantly, or it can make a person die without any pain. This is a top-secret drug in our world! Ordinary people can't even get it, let alone own it. But you are very lucky to have met me." The system boasted proudly.
Prince Guo listened to the system's words and was secretly amazed.
He had already witnessed many magical aspects of how to place the system, so he was naturally full of expectations for the Wusuzhu mentioned by the system.
Prince Guo has been communicating with the system with his mind: "Well, our Xiao Huan is naturally the most powerful. Bring it here quickly, I want to see what is so magical about this life-taking bead."
The system seemed to sense Prince Guo's eagerness, and was secretly delighted. Soon, a colorless and odorless yellow bead appeared in the palm of Prince Guo's hand.
Prince Guo carefully looked at the small yellow bead in his hand and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
He gently touched the surface of the bead with his fingertips and felt a strangely smooth texture.
"Is this the Wusuzhu you mentioned? It doesn't look anything special." Prince Guo frowned slightly and secretly communicated with the system in his heart.
However, at this moment, his eyes, eyebrows and facial expressions were constantly changing, as if he was thinking deeply.
If others saw this scene, they might mistakenly think that he was thinking about some important matters.
The system hurriedly explained: "Master, you don't know that if you don't eat it directly, you only need to place it in a place where the person you want to harm often appears. This slow-acting poison will penetrate into the person's body, and within two years, the person will die. And when the two years are up, the bead will automatically dissolve into the air and disappear without a trace. It can be said to be a peerless weapon that kills people invisibly!"
When Prince Guo heard what the system said, he couldn't help but become more surprised.
"What does '嘎了' mean?" Prince Guo was occasionally puzzled by the strange terms used by the system.
"'Ga Le' means death." The system explained helplessly again.
"Oh, I see." Prince Guo's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
I thought to myself: My dear brother, in this life, I will let you go more comfortably than in the last life, and more peacefully than I did. At least you won't have to endure the unbearable pain and torture. This is the last bit of tenderness that I can give you.
At this moment, Xiao Xiazi's voice suddenly came from outside the imperial study: "Is Prince Guo here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Prince Guo carefully put the Wusuzhu into his pocket.
Then, he responded calmly: "I am here, handling government affairs for the emperor. Does my brother have any instructions?" There was a hint of temptation in Prince Guo's tone.
Xiao Xiazi replied: "The emperor ordered you to go to the Yangxin Palace."
"Okay, I'll go there right away." As Prince Guo spoke, he gently placed Wusuzhu into a book in the corner of the bookshelf and pressed it down with it.
He deliberately selected a book that the emperor hated the most to ensure that the emperor would never flip through it.
After doing all this, Prince Guo left the imperial study with peace of mind and headed towards the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Yangxindian
The Queen accompanied the Emperor on the side. She was the only one who kept talking. The Emperor occasionally responded with a few words. When he saw Prince Guo coming, he immediately said:
"Seventeenth brother is here. Queen, please go down first. I have something important to discuss with Seventeenth brother." The emperor had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He didn't want to listen to the queen's nagging. His ears were callused from listening to her.
"Are you feeling better today, my brother?" The emperor's voice was still a little weak, but obviously much better than yesterday.
"I feel better now, but I just can't use any strength. It's strange, it was a sunny day, why did it suddenly start to blow?"
"The weather is unpredictable and no one can predict it. We need to ask the Imperial Observatory to observe the celestial phenomena." Prince Guo answered thoughtfully.
The emperor sat on the dragon bed, frowning, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He always felt that something was wrong with the Sunset Lake incident, but he couldn't tell exactly what went wrong.
So he decided to ask Xiao Xiazi beside him again.
"Xiao Xia Zi, what was the weather like on the day I fell into the lake?" The emperor's voice was so majestic that no one dared to neglect him.
Xiao Xiazi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his head and answered respectfully: "Your Majesty, the weather was clear and sunny that day. The sun was shining directly overhead, and there was not even a slight breeze. The entire lake was as calm as a mirror. It was not until the sun set that a slight breeze started to blow."
Xiao Xia Zi was also very puzzled as to how the emperor and eunuch Su fell into the lake together.
The emperor nodded slightly, and his doubts deepened.
"Send Su Peisheng to see me." The emperor said to Xiao Xia Zi.
When Xiao Xia Zi heard that the emperor was going to summon Su Peisheng, she immediately took the order and ran to find him.
Soon, Xiao Xia Zi supported the pale-faced Su Peisheng and came to the emperor's dragon bed.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty." Su Peisheng's face was still very pale, but he was able to use some strength. He was better than the emperor, who had not recovered from his old illness and had a new one.
"Su Peisheng, what was the weather like on the day I fell into the lake?" The emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty was sitting by the lake that day. The weather was very good, but suddenly a strong wind blew up and blew you into the lake." Su Peisheng glanced at the emperor cautiously and continued, "When I saw that the emperor was in trouble, I immediately reached out to save him, but I was also blown into the lake by the strong wind."
"Is that all?" Although the emperor was ill, there was obvious doubt and dissatisfaction in his voice. The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense, as if even the air had solidified.
"I also felt as if someone pushed me." Su Peisheng said cautiously. He knew that the emperor hated ghosts and gods the most. If he said someone pushed him, it would be like saying that a ghost was haunting him, because there was no one around him that day except himself and the emperor.
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something, which further confirmed his thoughts.
Xiao Xia Zi said that the weather was very good that day, and Su Peisheng who was following her felt the same as she did. The weather suddenly changed and a strong wind blew. Like Su Peisheng, she seemed to feel someone pushing her.
Later, the emperor called the other palace maids and eunuchs and asked them the same question, and they said exactly the same thing as Xiao Xia Zi.
The emperor looked at Prince Guo who had been silent beside him and said, "Seventeenth brother, when you went to get fish food that day, did you feel the strong wind?"
Prince Guo replied without hesitation: "My dear brother, when I went to get food for the fish, the weather didn't change. When I came back from getting food for the fish, I saw from afar that the weather near the lake was abnormal. I was worried about your safety, so I quickly rushed to the lake. When I arrived, the weather was already sunny and bright."
Prince Guo saw that the emperor was very suspicious, but fortunately he was well prepared.
"Pass the order down and order the Minister of Justice to thoroughly investigate this matter and make sure to find out the real reason why I fell into the lake." The emperor gave the order in a firm tone.
After receiving the order, Xiao Xiazi quickly left to convey the emperor's will. The emperor's eyes flashed with determination and decisiveness. He would never allow any conspiracy to succeed and must uncover the mystery behind it.
