Chapter 261 The Truth

Everyone was shocked. This person approached secretly and no one noticed.

And there was not a drop of water on him. Which passage did he come from?

The emperor's eyes swept over the three intruders: "You are quite capable. You actually found a way to get in."

"Husband!" Hu Shanshan rushed towards him holding her skirt.

Seeing that the two were about to meet, Xu Chuchu quickly stood between them and wanted to take the emperor hostage first.

If the emperor had Hu Shanshan's protection, they would be completely helpless.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly took out a jade ruyi from his arms and pointed it in the direction of Xu Chuchu.

A soft green light shone out and hit Xu Chuchu.

The color was soft, but the effect was not soft at all. It actually knocked Xu Chuchu more than ten feet away.

Xiao Yu quickly caught her from behind, otherwise the back of her head might have been smashed with such force.

Xu Chuchu realized that the emperor was a man without any cultivation, and he dared to come here alone, so he must have something to protect himself.

As expected of a king, the magic weapons he used were the rarest and most advanced in the world, far surpassing the Floating Life Umbrella she used before.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Shanshan also ran to the emperor, and now the three of them had no way to do anything to them.

The young beauty and the middle-aged man with a pot belly look so inharmonious no matter how you look at them.

But if Hu Shanshan insists on not leaving, how are they going to explain to the fox fairy?

"Two rebellious sons." The emperor's eyes flickered between Xiao Yu and Shen Zhaozhi. "Haven't you learned enough from your previous lesson? You still want to rebel against your superiors!"

"Who are your sons? Have you ever considered us your sons?" Chen Zhaozhi was very angry. "Also, why did you lie to my mother? You clearly imprisoned her and enslaved her, but you pretended to be kind to her. How dare you be the king of a country? You are not even a human being!"

"Lie?" the emperor scoffed. "I'm protecting her. When she first arrived in the human world, she knew nothing and couldn't fit in, so she was bullied. If I hadn't given her a place to live, she wouldn't know where she would have suffered. If the world knew that Concubine Hu was a fox demon, I'm afraid they would sign a petition demanding that she be burned to death."

When she heard that she would be burned to death, Hu Shanshan shrank her head in fear.

The emperor paused and said, "Besides, if she even despises her own son, what else can she do?"

Chen Zhaozhi's face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to explain himself.

He was wrong in the past, but he was taught since childhood that "he should not have anything to do with his fox mother". He also grew up listening to these bad words: "If he was not born by a fox, he would still be a favored prince now." What could he do?

Everything about him and his mother was controlled by this man!

Xu Chuchu took a step forward, unconvinced. "Princess Hu, have you ever considered that you don't need to understand the etiquette and customs of the human world? You are the daughter of a fox fairy, a noble princess of the fox clan. You are so powerful, there is no need to care about anyone else's opinion."

"If someone dares to laugh at you, just slap them. If someone dares to bully you, just rip them open!"

"Even the monks and Taoist priests don't dare to deal with you, what are you afraid of?"

"As for this man..." Xu Chuchu pointed boldly at the emperor, "He's been lying to you! Even in the human world, there's no such thing as a husband locking up his wife. A wife is an independent person, not her husband's property. She can leave at any time if she wants, and the same goes for you!"

Xu Chuchu talked until his mouth was dry, but Hu Shanshan still acted as if she didn't hear anything. She just leaned timidly in the emperor's arms, as if Xu Chuchu's words went in one ear and out the other.

"Who did you learn these arrogant words from?" The emperor laughed triumphantly. "These words will not affect Shanshan."

"Hu Shanshan!" Xu Chuchu said desperately, "Your father misses you terribly. In order to raise Hu Shan, his body and soul are connected to the mountain and he can never leave. Can't you go back and see him?"

After hearing the news from her father, Hu Shanshan hesitated for a moment and looked up at the emperor pleadingly.

"Can I go back to see my father, my husband?"

The emperor said gently, "Don't worry, Shanshan. When this busy period is over, I will personally accompany you back."

"Thank you, husband." Hu Shanshan smiled sweetly.

The emperor patted her with satisfaction and gave Xu Chuchu a secretive smile.

Xu Chuchu instantly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

The emperor had no idea that the fox fairy couldn't come out. Her words only gave the emperor more confidence to act without any scruples.

As for Hu Shanshan, when she first came down the mountain, she was like a newborn baby. She was taught to obey the emperor since she was a child. More than 20 years have passed, and the idea of ​​"unconditionally obeying the emperor" has been engraved in her mind and cannot be changed.

The emperor is not a human being. He brainwashed such an innocent girl into what she is now.

"I see." Xiao Yu, who had been quietly standing aside, suddenly spoke up. "It was you from the beginning to the end. I was almost misled."

The emperor glanced at his fourth son, but without the slightest warmth he would show to his family, he said, "Xiao Yu, what insights do you wish to offer?"

Xiao Yu slowly stepped forward and said, "For so long, we've speculated that besides the Grand Master, there's another highly skilled physiognomist within the palace. We racked our brains to figure out who it was, and even suspected the Crown Prince. We never imagined that the person could be you, the Emperor... no, you and Princess Hu."

The emperor sneered, "How could a young man like you see through my plan?"

Xiao Yu ignored his taunts and said, "Your talent is lacking. You can only cultivate to the second or third level and then stop there. But you can control a seventh-level fox demon to serve you. You usually hide the fox demon at the bottom of the lake and only bring it out when needed. It has become your natural shield. Even the Grand Master has been kept in the dark by you."

"You were the ones who killed the Grand Master that day, weren't you? At that time, no one in the capital could hurt him except you." He clapped his folding fan. "Perhaps his plan was always under your control... It was you who told Chuchu the method to change her fate and asked her to stop the Grand Master, right?"

Xu Chuchu was also shocked. Someone had deliberately led her to the mountain and taken the money and the book "The Key to Changing Destiny" from the snake's belly.

She naturally became suspicious of this matter at the time, but because she wanted to do it herself, she did not pursue the idea of ​​others taking advantage of her.

But she never expected that the person who took advantage of her was actually her confused and incompetent emperor!

The purpose of his doing this was... Xu Chuchu suddenly realized that it was those energies!

"You killed the Grand Master and took the energy for yourself. Everyone thought that the Grand Master was using you, but in fact, you were using him." Xiao Yu looked at his blood father and felt disgusted.

"Well, the analysis is good. Have you figured out anything else?" The emperor didn't care at all and asked Xiao Yu as if he were a student.

Xiao Yu pursed her lips: "The former queen...she was also killed by you, right?"
