Chapter 843 The Emperor Arrested the Empress Dowager
Then, it spoke in human language and said in a shrill voice: "Ancestor, the devil's spirit wandering in the human world is always a disaster."
After all, this guy relies entirely on human blood for nourishment. No one knows how many people will die in one day when he is in the human world.
Huo Bingbing said that she certainly knew that the devil's soul wandering outside was a scourge, but now she couldn't find him, there was nothing she could do, and she could only slowly look for opportunities.
"Xiao Feng, don't worry, let's look for it slowly, we will find it one day."
Little Bird: "Alas, now it seems that this is the only way."
During this period, Ye Yi moved most of the Zhan Wang Mansion's industries out of the capital, and also withdrew most of the military forces.
Today, the capital city is full of cavalrymen from Prince Zhan’s Palace.
Civil and military officials also smelled something unusual and asked questions to the emperor, saying that although the world is peaceful now, for unknown reasons, the other three countries are ready to make moves and a large army is still needed to guard the border. It is a bit abnormal for Prince Zhan to transfer the army back to the capital.
The emperor has always been suspicious, and he has been sending people to monitor Ye Yi's behavior. Of course, he knows that Ye Yi's behavior is abnormal. However, he has not yet obtained the puppet team, so he dare not turn against him, and he speaks well of Ye Yi insincerely...
"Prince Zhan did this to protect my safety. Don't overthink it, or he will be sad if he hears it."
Will the prince be sad because of what they said?
They won't believe it even if you kill them.
The ministers looked at each other, wondering if the emperor had taken the wrong medicine today. He always opposed Prince Zhan in the past, so why did he speak well of him today?
However, the king's mind is hard to predict.
They didn't dare to guess, so they just answered "yes" and said no more.
After the emperor retired from court, the empress dowager soon came over and told the emperor that Ye Yi had sent a large force into the capital. She also told the emperor to be careful of Prince Zhan.
"Your Majesty, you must be careful of Prince Zhan during this period. I don't think he has good intentions."
The emperor was also very panicked. In the past, Prince Zhan was safe because the Empress Dowager was keeping him under control. Now he found out that the Empress Dowager was not Ye Yi's biological mother, but his enemy. He no longer had his golden ticket to immunity from death. What should he do?
He looked at the Queen Mother with a pale face and asked, "Mother, what do you think we should do?"
The Queen Mother lowered her head in thought and said...
"Your Majesty, during this period of time, you should try to send as many people as possible back to the palace. Also, Prince Zhan is forbidden to enter the palace."
After hearing this, the emperor nodded repeatedly.
In the following days, the emperor kept sending people into the palace. The guards in the palace were very strict. Everyone knew something was wrong. Both the emperor and Prince Zhan were making such a big move. Could it be that they were really about to rebel?
Just when the emperor was most desperate, Wolf Lord came and brought a team of 30,000 puppets to him, saying that he was fulfilling his previous promise.
The emperor looked at the black token in his hand, became incoherent with excitement, and said tremblingly...
"Master, you came just in time. I don't know what to say."
Wolf Lord's red eyes cast a sinister glance at the emperor, revealing a meaningful smile, and said...
"I heard that there were some big moves in Prince Zhan's palace recently, so I immediately sent people to get the news. I learned that Ye Yi wanted to kill the emperor and replace him, so I hurried over with my puppets."
"I hope I can help the emperor turn the tide."
The emperor nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, as long as I have these tens of thousands of puppets, I can deal with Ye Yi, the traitor."
He had seen the puppets' abilities before; their flesh and blood had been refined into indestructible bodies.
Ye Yi's cavalry was no match for them.
Moreover, puppets do not feel pain, have no emotions, and only obey orders. Even if they are injured, they can continue to kill the enemy. This is their strength. Compared with the flesh-and-blood cavalry of the Zhan Palace, they are simply not on the same level.
It is no problem for the puppets to fight against a hundred at a time.
After the emperor got the puppet team, he immediately became rich. He ordered his informant to monitor Prince Zhan's Mansion. When he saw Prince Zhan, Princess Zhan, and the five little demons go out, he immediately sent the leader of the Jinyiwei with hundreds of puppets to Prince Zhan's Mansion, preparing to capture the Empress Dowager Shengxin and control Ye Yi.
Zhanwangfu, the gate.
When the two gatekeepers saw the leader of the Jinyiwei and his men surrounding Prince Zhan's mansion, they were shocked and asked...
"Master Song, what's the meaning of bringing so many people here today?"
The leader of the Jinyiwei said angrily...
"The Emperor missed the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart, and specially asked this humble official to come and bring her back to the palace."
The two gatekeepers looked at each other and were determined not to let them in. They said, "No, the prince is not in the mansion. Let's wait until he comes back."
The leader of the Jinyiwei smiled coldly. They deliberately waited until Prince Zhan was not in the mansion before coming to snatch people.
Otherwise, how could they have the courage?
So he shouted...
"Get out of here! The emperor has ordered that anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy."
However, the two doormen were Prince Zhan's right-hand men, experienced in the battlefields for many years and were no pushovers. They were not frightened at all and still refused to give way.
At this moment, Uncle Fu hurried out from inside, smiling and asking the leader of the Jinyiwei...
"Master Song, what happened?"
The leader of the Jinyiwei smiled coldly and repeated his purpose in an impatient manner.
Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment. He knew very well in his heart that the emperor's move was clearly to capture the Empress Dowager Shengxin and bring her into the palace to threaten Prince Zhan.
"Sir Song, it's like this. It's been rainy these past few days, and the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart's old illness has relapsed. The pain in her limbs is so severe that she is not suitable for moving. How about this? Wait a few days until the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart is feeling better, and then we will send her back to the palace. What do you think?"
As we all know, since the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart was turned into a human pig, she has been left with many sequelae.
For example, whenever it was a rainy day, the old illness would flare up, with pain here and there, and all the nerves in the body would hurt.
She used to live in the cold palace. Whenever it was rainy, she would wail in the middle of the night, scaring many concubines who had just entered the palace into tears.
Everyone in the palace knew about this.
As the emperor's man, Mr. Song was no exception. However, now that the emperor had fallen out with the Empress Dowager, he certainly wouldn't care about her life or death. So, he said...
"No, this is the emperor's order, I must carry it out."
After saying that, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Uncle Fu aside, then rushed into Prince Zhan's mansion with hundreds of puppets in a murderous manner to look for someone.
Uncle Fu never dreamed that Lord Song would turn hostile so quickly. He got up from the ground in a panic and shouted at the two doormen...
"Hurry, hurry, go to the barracks and bring the prince back."
"Yes." One of the doormen answered and rode away hurriedly on a fast horse.
Another gatekeeper followed Uncle Fu into the palace, trying to stop them from taking the Sacred Heart Queen Mother away.
However, as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone there are more than a hundred puppets, they are no match at all.
Just like that, the leader of the Jinyiwei brought more than 100 puppets, injured all the people in Prince Zhan's Mansion, and then carried away the Empress Dowager Shengxin.
"Lord Song, you can't take the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart away." Although Uncle Fu was covered in wounds, he remained unyielding. He got up from the ground, opened his arms, and blocked their way, preventing them from leaving.
"Don't be shameless, old man."
Uncle Fu kept pestering him, and the leader of the Jinyiwei got really angry. He used all his strength to knock Uncle Fu away with one palm, then carried the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart away.
The Queen Mother Sacred Heart, who was sitting in the golden barrel, was not panicked at all. She was already in this state, so what was there to be afraid of? The worst that could happen was death.
Moreover, during this period of time, she was reunited with her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, enjoying the happiness of family life. She felt that even if she died, she would have no regrets.
The only regret is that the Empress Dowager was not killed.
"Where are you taking me?" On the way, the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart asked indifferently.
The leader of the Royal Guards was very impressed by her calmness and said...
"Empress Dowager Sacred Heart, the Emperor missed you and asked me to bring you back to the palace for a reunion."
"Ahahahaha, Your Majesty is so filial, I am very happy." The Empress Dowager Sacred Heart had a delighted look on her face, as if she was really happy, and asked again...
"By the way, where's Liu Huilan? She misses me too, right?"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Jinyiwei turned pale and dared not continue the conversation: "......"
Liu Huilan was the name of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's biological mother. As a subject, how could he dare to call his master by his name?
"Coward." Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Sacred Heart, who was sitting in the small golden barrel, sneered, closed her eyes and rested without saying anything else.
