Chapter 232 The Little Devil Casts a Spell

The emperor did this just to plant a seed in the minds of civil and military officials, making them suspect that King Jing might have been replaced.

Such a mysterious thing as being possessed by a little ghost cannot be announced to the world, so as not to cause panic among the people or even be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. The only way is to find a more appropriate way that will not affect King Jing's reputation and can punish the little ghost.

But Gong Jin and Wei Wanyi are both fine. These two charges will not take the little devil's life, nor can they catch all his followers.

Qingyan said that only when the pus comes out of the poisonous sore can you see everything clearly, and then with one cut, the pus inside can be completely removed, and the sore area can truly heal.

It coincided with his idea. The Wei Dynasty was in trouble. In addition to the little ghost's poisonous sore, the late emperor and Su Mao were also in trouble.

He is waiting for the right time.

"Your Majesty, there is no human skin mask." Feng Ruobao replied after feeling around on the little ghost's face.

It was the same body, so naturally there was no human skin mask to be found, but the emperor had to continue his performance.

He looked at Gong Mingcheng.

Gong Mingcheng understood, "Your Majesty, without a human skin mask, it doesn't mean he is King Jing. Perhaps he is someone who looks similar to King Jing."

The emperor nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you to investigate."

The officials threatened by King Jing subconsciously wanted to refute, but the emperor raised his hand to stop them from speaking, then looked at the little ghost, "Did you order the arrest of Gong Jin?"

The little ghost was alert this time. He knew that he couldn't speak and was unable to explain, so he shook his head and denied it, but Shi Yu came in.

He brought a tied-up man in black, "Your Majesty, this man was originally the late emperor's secret guard. After the late emperor passed away, Your Majesty sent them to a retirement base out of kindness and righteousness.

However, he secretly escaped from the base and defected to King Jing. Yesterday, Gong Jin disappeared. I accompanied the princess to look for him and found out that Gong Jin was kidnapped outside the city.

Following the clues, we found this man. He was the one who abducted Gong Jin and took him to the courtyard, handing him over to the guards of Prince Jing's mansion."

The emperor looked at the man in black and asked, "Is what Prince Rong said true?"

Of all the former emperor's secret guards, Shi Yu only left Du Liu and the man in front of him alive last night. Since they were captured, Shi Yu has been ordering people to torture them.

The man in black had lived a good life in the retirement base for several years, so how could he withstand all the punishments? When Shi Yu was about to start the second round of punishment, his bones became weak.

He nodded and said, "Yes, it was King Jing who ordered me to kidnap the Gong family boy."

His voice sounded strange, and the little ghost discovered that he had lost a single tooth out of his mouth. He guessed that Shi Yu must have tortured him.

Although he was angry at the secret guard for betraying his master, the most important thing at the moment was to deny it, so he continued to shake his head.

But the emperor looked extremely disappointed with him and frowned, "Prince Jing is suspected to have been replaced by someone else, but there is no evidence yet.

But the assassination of Wei mother and son and the kidnapping of Gong Jin are facts.

Those who break the law must be punished. I will be temporarily demoted to the rank of Prince of Jing. Since I am already a prince, my residence must be changed, and the fiefdom of Yongzhou must be returned to the court."

The little ghost thought that after arriving in Beijing, the throne would be within his grasp, but he didn't expect that within just one day, he would become disabled, lose his princely title, and even lose the fiefdom he had managed for many years?

Not only that, he spent so much effort digging a tunnel in the palace, but he had to move it after using it only once.

The emperor is really going too far!

As anger rose in his heart, his expression became more ferocious, his eyes gradually became fierce, and he closed his eyes.

He must teach the emperor a lesson and let those who follow him know that the emperor has health problems and may die at any time.

In order to prevent them from wavering because of his demotion today, even if he becomes a prince, he can still turn the situation around.

But not long after, he opened his eyes in panic.

He looked at the emperor who was still sitting on the dragon throne in astonishment. How could he not react at all?

He had clearly made preparations in his mansion before entering the palace, and he had just cast a spell, but why didn't the emperor faint?

He had tried using guards several times on the way to Beijing. His magic was fine and his preparations were proper. What went wrong?

Try again!

He closed his eyes again, secretly gathering his ghost power, and used the ghost power that was invisible to everyone to hit the emperor.

Can!

As soon as his ghost power touched the emperor's chest, it was bounced back heavily. Instead of hurting others, he was hurt himself. The little ghost spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down with an unwilling look on his face.

Behind the screen, Wei Qingyan took it all in. She looked at the shriveled body thoughtfully.

Just now, when the little ghost condensed a ball of black gas and attacked the emperor, this real body also produced a layer of faint black gas, which floated towards the little ghost in the hall.

The energy was very weak, swirling around the little ghost's head. It didn't seem to be protecting the little ghost, but rather as if it wanted to do something to the little ghost.

Unfortunately, before Wei Qingyan could make a careful assessment, the black energy was quickly pulled back into his real body after the little ghost fainted.

She poked the little ghost's real body with her hand. Could it be that there was another spirit hidden here?

Could it be the real King Jing Shi Qian?

Wei Qingyan once again eagerly wanted to see the fat monk, and also regretted that he did not learn more from the fat monk when he followed him.

After Lan Shu knew her thoughts, she rubbed her daughter's head and said, "Even if you want to learn, he won't teach you. I asked him, and he said that you will learn it naturally when the time comes.

That little devil failed to harm your father today, and he will definitely be unwilling to give up when he returns, and will try again. Then you can take a closer look at the black energy. Right now, it seems that the little devil does not have any extraordinary abilities.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard the emperor say, "We still have to be careful. I don't understand what he is doing, but I just felt dizzy for a moment."

However, they had intended to test his ability, so they were mentally prepared and tried their best to remain calm and not lose their composure.

The little ghost probably didn't notice.

He fished out the ancient talisman from his bosom and handed it to Wei Qingyan. "The place where the ancient talisman was placed was burning intensely. Could it be that it warded off disaster for Father?"

No wonder the emperor felt hot, there was a hole the size of an incense stick burned in the middle of the ancient symbol.

Wei Qingyan put the ancient symbol into his purse and said, "I'll draw another one."

Now that there was no longer any grudge between him and the emperor, the ancient symbol was quickly drawn.

The emperor looked at her cutting her hand again and said with some heartache, "Your skill is good, but your hand is suffering.

I'll have Ruobao send you some supplements later, and have someone stew some for you every day."

He knew that it had happened several times, and added, "Remember to apply the scar cream, it will help the wound on your hand heal faster."

Wei Qingyan smiled helplessly, "I know."

The emperor pressed the issue further, "How about I assign two maids to serve you at the Anyuan Marquis's residence? When you get married, you can also take them to the Rong Prince's residence."

"Okay, why didn't I notice you being so nagging before? How could Du Xueyi treat your daughter badly? Even if Du Xueyi is careless, there is still Shi Yu."

Lan Shu rolled her eyes at the emperor and said, "You'd better take good care of yourself."

Living a few more years and protecting my daughter is not better than taking those supplements, right?

After complaining, she felt that something was wrong. Who was protecting whom? These times, it was the daughter who protected the emperor, her father.

The emperor saw the contempt and embarrassment on her face, so he changed the subject and asked about the business.

After the father and daughter summarized and exchanged their thoughts on what had happened in the past two days, Wei Qingyan was about to leave the palace.

Looking at her daughter's slender and tall back, Lan Shu asked, "You don't let Wei Wanyi talk about Madam Wei. Are you trying to use Madam Wei?"

"It wasn't me who used her, it was that brat. Most officials have the impression that the royal family suppresses meritorious officials. Even if I tell you today, those who don't want to believe it will still refuse to believe it and will instead think it was a royal trick."

The emperor also looked out the window. Wei Qingyan had already walked a long way. From a distance, his back looked very small. "Although the National Protection Army was founded by General Wei, Qingyan also led it for several years.

However, people's hearts are unpredictable. They have been away from the Wei family for three years. It will not be easy for my daughter to conquer them again. I will help her."

Lan Shu seemed to understand, but she knew it was for the good of her daughter, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After Wei Qingyan left the palace, he went to the Gong family to visit his elder sister and Gong Jin.

After being thanked profusely by the Gong family and invited to have dinner, she was allowed to leave. Just as she was about to jump over the wall and leave, she heard Shi Yu's helpless voice, "I knew you wouldn't go through the main entrance."

Wei Qingyan smiled, "Why are you here?"

After Shi Yu left the court, he sent someone to bring her a letter, saying that he was going back to continue interrogating Du Liu and find out the whereabouts of Dong Zang's family.

Shi Yu came to see her so quickly, could it be that, "You found Dong Zang's family?"
