Evil of all ages

Chapter 204 The Death of the Emperor
Huang Taichu's first meeting was about right.

He let the actors return to their positions, then turned around with Baymax in his arms and disappeared.

The moment he disappeared, everything around him returned to normal.

What the Imperial Guard Commander Nie Yang saw was His Majesty summoning Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu to his side, preparing to give them some instructions.

Suddenly, His Majesty hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gave no instructions and waved for Ye Wuji and the other man to leave.

He wasn't the only one who saw this; spies from countless other forces saw the same thing.

"lie"

His Majesty, having boarded the imperial carriage but not yet entered it, suddenly fainted in full view of everyone.

"His Majesty"

"His Majesty"

"..."

When the emperor fainted, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Nie Yang, and his men panicked.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and escort His Majesty back to the palace and summon the imperial physician..."

Under Ye Wuji's control, all the travelers quickly sprang into action, leading His Majesty back along the original route.

The spies nearby witnessed this scene and quickly brought the news back.

Huang Taichu neither stayed in the prison nor returned to the Huang residence, but went to the palace to watch a play.

Royal Palace
Yangxindian

Nie Yang led the Imperial Guards to stand guard outside, while Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu watched from inside as the imperial physician took the emperor's pulse.

"The Empress has arrived!"

Xu Yunxue stepped into the hall and walked towards the emperor lying on the dragon bed with a worried expression.

Huang Taichu was always inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but others couldn't see him.

When he saw the beautiful and charming queen, his gaze lingered on her.

"Those breasts...that ass...absolutely gorgeous!"

Huang Taichu couldn't help but comment.

Although I had seen Xu Yunxue through the Greedy World-Devouring Gu before, seeing her through the Greedy World-Devouring Gu and seeing her up close felt different.

How could Huang Taichu not know Xu Yunxue's background?

Xu Yunxue was nearly thirty years old, but because she practiced demonic arts, she looked only twenty-two or twenty-three.

She was extremely alluring, partly due to her magical powers and partly due to her innate seductive charm that could tempt men to commit crimes.

She was a powerful innate expert, and a half-step grandmaster-level expert of grandmother level was protecting her in the shadows.

She comes from the Moonflower Palace, and is also the Palace Mistress of the Moonflower Palace.

Eight hundred years ago, the Great Jin Dynasty collapsed and was replaced by the present-day Great An. The Demonic Sect also split into five forces of varying sizes.

The Moon Palace is the smallest of the factions.

As the smallest force, Moonflower Palace has yet to produce a Grandmaster-level expert.

The emperor knew her identity.

Because this is the imperial palace, and she is a Xiantian expert with a half-step Grandmaster expert by her side, how could the emperor not have noticed anything amiss?

It can be said that without the emperor's permission, let alone bringing a half-step grandmaster, even someone with innate strength would have their abilities crippled.

Xu Yunxue was about to step forward and ask Ye Wuji and the other person how His Majesty was doing.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of panic, as if she were being targeted by some evil force.

She stopped in her tracks, carefully sensing her surroundings, and then suddenly turned to look at where Huang Taichu was.

Because in that instant, she caught a slightly invasive gaze sweeping over her sensitive areas.

But the place was empty; there was nowhere to hide.

Xu Yunxue wondered if she was imagining things, or if she was just too tired and was hallucinating.

She shook her head inwardly, looked away, and took two more steps forward.

Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu gave her a slight bow, their heads neither bowed nor their backs bent, showing absolutely no respect.

Xu Yunxue didn't care; it was normal for Grandmasters to have special privileges.

His gaze passed over Ye Wuji and the other two, and fell upon His Majesty, whose face was pale and bloodless, with a hint of death.

It's like going to the Heavenly Prison and having all your yang energy sucked away by the Ghost King.

"How did His Majesty end up like this after just one trip to the South City Prison?"

Seeing that the imperial physician had not yet obtained a result from taking her pulse, Xu Yunxue asked Ye Wuji and the other person.

There's no need to ask, because Her Majesty has her people by his side. She knows His Majesty won't survive tonight.

She also knew everything His Majesty had experienced in the Southern City Prison.

However, as the Empress, she had to pretend to be nervous and worried about His Majesty's condition.

Ye Wuji shook his head and remained silent.

Li Tianwu remained silent, much like someone in the southern prison of the city who had taboos he couldn't speak of.

Xu Yunxue was helpless when she saw that Ye Wuji and the other man were indifferent to her.

They wanted to win them over, but couldn't.

Using their status to pressure them is even less effective.

It's better for everyone if they remain neutral now.

If we use our status to pressure them and make them unhappy, they might run off to support another prince, which would be troublesome.

"Imperial Physician Yang, how is His Majesty's condition?"

Fortunately, the imperial physician finished taking her pulse at that moment, and Xu Yunxue turned to him and asked him a question.

"thump"

Without saying a word, the imperial physician knelt down with a thud, his forehead touching the ground, his whole body trembling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The imperial physician was too frightened to speak.

"Imperial Physician Yang, please speak freely, and I will forgive you for your innocence."

Xu Yunxue said.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty... His Majesty may not make it through the night."

To save his own life, the imperial physician held back, refusing to reveal that His Majesty would not live more than half an incense stick's time.

Women are natural actresses. Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxue leaned back slightly, but her trusted confidante Zhu Duo'er caught her, preventing her from falling.

"Imperial Physician Yang, is there really no other way?"

Xu Yunxue asked the imperial physician in a slightly sorrowful tone.

Upon hearing the Empress's question, the imperial physician stammered in fear, indicating that he had no other options.

Xu Yunxue had already shed tears, but in her heart she hoped that His Majesty would just die like this.

Because His Majesty has not yet designated which prince will succeed to the throne.

If she dies like that, it will be easier for her to manipulate things.

Since she wasn't surnamed Li and couldn't become empress, she supported a puppet prince to ascend the throne, ruling from behind the curtain and controlling the court.

"Mmm... mmm..."

Unexpectedly, His Majesty woke up at this moment.

This made Xu Yunxue's heart tighten.

"Free...free and unrestrained..."

Li Xingji was still thinking of having someone summon the Carefree Prince, but he was already nearing his end.

He died immediately.

After Li Xingji died, Huang Taichu took his soul away.

At this moment, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the imperial physicians, eunuchs, and palace maids all knelt down, weeping silently.

I dared not cry out loud, for fear that one mistake would cost me my head.

Xu Yunxue watched Ye Wuji and the other person nervously.

Although His Majesty only uttered the words "carefree," everyone understood that His Majesty was referring to the Carefree King.

His Majesty has not explicitly stated whether the successor to the throne is the Prince of Xiaoyao, but if Ye Wuji and the other man insist that the Prince of Xiaoyao is the successor...

Then all her efforts were in vain.

"His Majesty has decreed that I must remain neutral in all things, so I will not participate in what follows."

After Ye Wuji finished speaking, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxue was surprised to hear such a good thing.

However, Ye Wuji is gone, but there is still Li Tianwu.

"I have just broken through to the next level, and my cultivation level is not yet fully stable. I need to go back and cultivate in seclusion for a while."

Li Tianwu also found an excuse to leave.
