Chapter 424: Death penalty can be avoided, but living punishment cannot be escaped

"Ah...my eyes."

The Imperial Master's shrill screams filled the hall.

Trembling, he pulled out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured all the pills inside into his mouth.

The Imperial Master was afraid that he might get injured while out there...so he always carried pills to stop pain and bleeding.

The music suddenly stopped and the dancers stepped back in fear.

The ministers were frightened by the sudden scene.

After they came to their senses, they all knelt and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

It was fine just now, how come...

The emperor must have taken such ruthless action, so the imperial teacher must have been secretly plotting something bad.

Prince Beiyu and others were also very frightened.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to calm down." Prince Beiyu stood up first and said.

When his gaze shifted to the Imperial Master whose face was covered in blood, he was filled with secret joy.

Murong Hongyi's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Father Khan, can we still return to the grassland safely?"

The Emperor of Dayan is too scary. I really want to go back to the grasslands...

"Shut up." Murong Chen growled.

He frowned, wondering why Xiao Chengjin would attack the Imperial Master.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Xiao Chengjin suddenly stood up.

He said to Little Phoenix with a look of self-blame on his face, "Xiaofeng, take good care of Ruo Ruo."

The little phoenix turned his head away and snorted coldly.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo already knew what was going on?

Haha, I didn’t expect that this national teacher is so capable!

He actually knows hypnosis!

Most importantly, he still wants to control himself...

It's simply courting death.

Jiang Ruo stood up and held Xiao Chengjin's cold hand.

She said to everyone in a loud voice: "This person can hypnotize."

"Just now, I almost fell into his trap."

Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo with a guilty look on his face, "Ruo Ruo, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

There was a slight tremor in his voice.

If it weren’t for the little phoenix noticing something was wrong.

At this moment, Ruoruo has been controlled by this damned imperial teacher.

Jiang Ruo smiled slightly and whispered to comfort her, "I'm fine, don't blame yourself."

"By the way, let the Crown Prince of Beiyu bring him back to Beiyu and hand him over to the Emperor of Beiyu for disposal!"

The Imperial Master's eyes are damaged and he can no longer use hypnosis.

Moreover, according to her observation, this imperial teacher is the thorn in the side of Prince Beiyu...

Perhaps, it is because of the existence of this imperial teacher that the prince has been unable to ascend the throne!

Haha, very good.

When everyone heard the word "hypnosis", they all looked at the embarrassed imperial teacher.

Then they began to discuss in low voices.

"What? He actually knows witchcraft?"

“It’s just horrible.”

"The demon is trying to use witchcraft to control the Empress."

“Serves you right!”

......

Prince Beiyu listened to the discussions and felt secretly delighted.

He also cursed in his heart: Well, no wonder my father always listens to you, it turns out that you are using witchcraft to control my father.

In the past, he always thought that it was those elixirs that controlled his father...

Yes, bring him back to Beiyu and let father deal with him personally.

Then, Prince Beiyu pretended to be indignant and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize to you and the Empress for what happened today."

"Don't worry, the ministers will bring the Imperial Master back to Beiyu and hand him over to the Emperor."

Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin, who was blaming himself, squeezed his palm, and whispered, "I'll leave this to you. Xiao Feng and I will go back and wait for you."

Xiao Chengjin nodded, "Ruoruo, I'll be back soon."

Just as Little Phoenix was about to open her mouth to mock Xiao Chengjin, Jiang Ruo covered her mouth and led her out of Zehua Palace.

He already feels very guilty about it, and if you scold him any more he'll become depressed.

Everyone bowed and saluted, saying, "Your humble servants and outsiders respectfully bid farewell to the Empress."

Manager Lin waved his hand at the terrified dancers, signaling them to leave.

The dancers trembled and bowed, "Slave servants, take your leave."

Woohoo, the emperor is so scary.

I can't stay in this palace anymore.

The ministers looked at each other, waiting for a "storm".

Xiao Chengjin was filled with a terrifying murderous aura, "Master, you are courting death..."

Bei Yu Imperial Master looked at Xiao Chengjin with horror with his other eye, and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy and spare this foreign minister."

"No one from outside..."

Before the Imperial Preceptor could finish his words, Xiao Chengjin shouted angrily, "Imperial Preceptor Beiyu is attempting to murder the Empress... You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life."

"Come here, pull out his tongue and pick the tendons in his hands and feet."

Yu Beichen and two imperial guards entered the hall and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant obeys your order."

The Imperial Master's brain was working rapidly...

By the way, maybe the prince can save himself.

The Imperial Master looked at the two Imperial Guards approaching him and shouted to the Crown Prince Beiyu, "Your Highness, please save me!"

"As long as you save me, I will help you ascend the throne."

Prince Beiyu looked at the imperial teacher with disdain.

"Master Imperial Master, please stop talking nonsense."

In public, he actually encouraged himself to seize power and usurp the throne.

Damn it!

Oh, as long as you die, and my father has no more elixirs...I will sit on the throne openly and honestly.

Yu Beichen sneered, "Drag him out."

"Yes, Commander Yu."

Two imperial guards quickly came to the imperial teacher and dragged him out of Zehua Palace.

A moment later, the imperial teacher's screams were heard outside.

Everyone shuddered involuntarily when they heard the screams.

Alas, such a wonderful banquet was ruined by the evil Taoist priest, the National Master.

Xiao Chengjin stood above and looked around at everyone.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold voice: "The Queen was frightened today. I want to go and accompany her."

"Manager Lin, I'll leave this to you."

"I obey your command." Manager Lin bowed and replied.

Xiao Chengjin clenched his hands and slowly walked out of Zehua Palace.

At this moment, his heart was filled with frustration.

When he was young, he couldn't protect his mother.

Now, Ruoruo almost got into trouble right under his nose.

Xiao Chengjin's eyes turned red as he walked towards Yongle Palace...

After Xiao Chengjin left, the atmosphere in the hall fell into silence.

General Chu and his son looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

The emperor is in a bad mood today, so let’s put the matter of requesting an imperial decree to grant the marriage aside for now!

Manager Lin sighed, bowed, and said, "Everyone, I apologize for the poor hospitality today."

It was a pretty good banquet, but it was ruined by that bastard Beiyu National Master.

Manager Lin thought worriedly: The emperor must be feeling very guilty right now!

Prince Beiyu pretended to be angry and said, "Don't worry, everyone. When I return to Beiyu, I will ask my father to severely punish the Imperial Preceptor."

This trip was not in vain. I not only got rid of the national teacher indirectly, but also got myself out of trouble.

Haha, God helps me.

Steward Lin looked at Prince Beiyu and the others and said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, Prince Beiyu and his companions have finally come to the capital. Please take them on a tour of the capital."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wu nodded quickly, "Manager Lin, leave it to me!"

Prince Beiyu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Manager Lin, we will leave the palace first."

"When you return, tell the Emperor."

Manager Lin nodded.

Lord Wu stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please follow me!"

The ministers watched Prince Beiyu and others leave, and then they also said goodbye and left the palace.

Manager Lin looked at the empty hall and stamped his feet in anger.

Then, he shouted outside the hall: "Come here, clean up this place."

......

Yongle Palace.

Little Phoenix stood beside Jiang Ruo, cursing, "Sister, if this doesn't work out, just divorce this bastard!"

It's just too useless.

Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly and said seriously, "I can't bear to divorce this man since he's so handsome."

"Besides, if we divorce him, he will be given to other women." Jiang Ruo said with a smile.

Little Phoenix looked at Jiang Ruo with dismay, "Sister, don't be fooled by this bastard's beauty."

What's the use of having beauty if you can't protect your sister.

Tsk, you really overestimate him.

Thinking of Jiang Ruo's dull look, Little Phoenix said with lingering fear: "Sister, if you were controlled by that demon today, we..." As she spoke, tears flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruo quickly hugged Xiao Fenghuang in her arms to comfort her, "Xiao Feng, I'm sorry, I made you worry."

The little phoenix twitched a few times and then said nothing more.

Alas, this guy is so strong-willed. If something like this happens, he will definitely hide in a corner, blaming himself and crying.

Forget it, just forgive him this time!
