When the Emperor was mentioned, Fujiwara no Tokuko suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"Then General Yuan, please tell me here... I will tell him everything."

"Do not."

Minamoto no Raikou shook his head.

"Empress, this time I must see the Emperor in person."

"This is about my father."

"..."

【You are a little surprised. 】

[You didn't expect Minamoto no Raikou to use his father's name just for your guess.]

[As a former general who had made great military achievements since the Heian period, Minamoto no Mitsunaka's name is indeed very important at all times. 】

[Even Fujiwara no Tokuko had to be wary. ]

Looking at Fujiwara Tokuko's hesitation, Ian knew that his guess was at least half right.

But what will happen next is most likely that the two will be refused permission to meet the Pope.

After all, if you do those things, you will probably feel guilty.

However, what Ian did not expect was that Fujiwara Tokuko actually agreed directly.

"understood."

"Since it's about your father, I'll let you go meet him."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou and Ian looked at each other, with some confusion in their eyes.

After all, according to previous predictions, after Minamoto no Raikou made such a request, Fujiwara no Tokuko should have refused - at the very least, she should have been a little panicked.

But at this moment she was so calm.

This means that she may be ready.

It's just that it's over.

Ian knew he couldn't give up halfway.

Minamoto no Raikou also understood this principle.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Queen."

[You and Minamoto no Raikou followed behind Fujiwara no Tokuko. ]

[You walked through the corridor of Heian Palace.]

[You have arrived in front of a rather luxurious room.]

[It has extremely strict security. ]

to be frank.

If Ian hadn't seen Fujiwara Tokuko leading the way, he would probably have thought he had come to some kind of dueling arena.

There were eighteen guards standing in the corridor leading to the room.

They all held the same style of long sword, and their expressions looked extremely serious.

Coupled with the flickering lights on both sides of the wall, it presents a situation where strangers are not allowed to approach.

The three of them walked slowly forward under such scrutiny.

"arrive."

Having reached the end, Fujiwara no Tokuko turned around and looked at Ian and Minamoto no Raikou behind her.

"You all come in."

"He's right here."

A swipe.

The shoji door was pushed open.

Ian and Minamoto no Raikou followed Fujiwara no Tokuko into the room.

But the scene before us is somewhat surprising.

I saw a man in his fifties sitting at the table, holding a brush and writing something.

Next to it was a birdcage hanging on a shelf, with a canary inside pecking at bird food.

"This……"

Minamoto no Raikou was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

After all, this is completely different from the situation analyzed by her husband.

But before she could think through the situation, Fujiwara Tokuko beside her spoke directly.

"Go ahead, General Yuan."

"Tell us everything you want to report."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou looked back at Ian.

After the latter nodded slightly, she no longer hesitated.

Minamoto no Raikou never did things based on lies - she did have something to report to Emperor Karasuba.

【Minamoto no Raikou came before the Emperor Karasuba. 】

[She reported the conflicts that had been going on between her father and the Hei family.]

[Her tone was very sincere and serious.]

[You know this isn’t just a pretext she made up—it’s something that really happened.]

[But you know that your focus of observation this time is not Minamoto no Raikou. ]

[The person you really need to observe is the Emperor Wu Yu, who is very different from what you expected.]

【You looked at him and the scene around him, and suddenly realized something. 】

[Talented Great Yin-Yang Master+++ has been activated: You have seen through the Yin-Yang formation in the Emperor's room. ]

"I see."

Emperor Wu Yu nodded, but his hand holding the brush never stopped.

"General Yuan, I know what you are thinking."

"I will find time to deal with these matters."

Minamoto no Raikou sensed the perfunctory nature of this response.

When she was about to continue speaking, Ian spoke first.

"understood."

"Thank you for your great grace, His Majesty."

"The Emperor has many affairs to attend to, so I will not disturb you and will take my leave now."

After saying this, Ian pulled Genraikou's hand and left.

【You and Minamoto no Raikou leave the room where the Emperor is.】

【You left Heian Palace.】

[You have arrived at the Kyoto Road outside. ]

[After confirming that no one was following you, you slowed down your pace. ]

"Husband."

"What are you..."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian beside him, his mind full of the scene of the rushing journey just now.

to be frank.

She was very confused.

But Minamoto no Raikou did not stop Ian's actions - she believed that her husband must have a reason for doing what he did.

So it was not until now, after she slowed down, that she spoke for the first time.

"lady."

Ian held Minamoto no Raikou's hand, and even his breathing became a little serious.

"The Emperor is indeed dead."

"what?"

【You explained everything to Minamoto no Raikou. 】

【Calligraphy that never stops, and the canary that won’t come out of the cage. 】

[The Emperor's soul is fixed at a certain moment in his life.]

[The sound he made when talking to Minamoto no Raikou just now was definitely not made by his own will. ]

[The current emperor is just a death puppet to prevent Heian-kyō from falling into chaos. 】

"This……"

Minamoto no Raikou knew that Ian would never talk nonsense - especially in front of him.

"Did the Queen do all this?"

Ian shook his head, then nodded.

"not quite."

"The Queen should indeed be the one who secretly ordered these things to be done to the Emperor."

"But the specific caster is someone else."

Ian wasn't kidding.

After all, if the queen really understood the art of yin and yang, she would probably have seen through the problem of the "fox corpse" at a glance during the previous court meeting.

After all, it was a fake product made of "earth" by himself.

If she was an Onmyoji who could complete the formations throughout Heian-kyo, it was impossible for her not to understand these things.

This means that there must be another Onmyoji behind Fujiwara no Tokuko.

"What should we do now?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the great Onmyoji beside him.

"Should we expose her immediately?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"lady."

"I still don't know what is maintaining this formation - after all, using the souls of the dead in this way is not a simple matter."

"Even if I wanted to expose all this, I'm afraid no one would be convinced."

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at his husband.
