Chapter 367 This old guy really can't tell good from bad
"You guys eat first, I have to leave for something." After hearing what Ying Liu said, Gu Xiaoxi walked out.
Ying Liu told Gu Xiaoxi that they had just received news that the eldest prince was planning to make things difficult for the master, and he had also sent Master Jin out. No one knew what was going on.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Xiaoxi naturally couldn't sit still. Ye Lixuan had told her that Master Jin was a very powerful person.
So the two of them got on the carriage.
Before the carriage arrived at the palace, Gu Xiaoxi told Yingliu to put on an invisibility talisman and just follow him when they got there.
So, the carriage entered the palace, and Gu Xiaoxi simply sat on the roof of the carriage.
Sitting on the roof of the carriage, the view is much wider.
She could see the palace covered with glazed tiles, the palace maids and eunuchs walking nearby, and the concubines sitting in sedan chairs.
However, carriages outside cannot enter the palace and must stop at the destination.
Yingliu stopped the carriage and stood there waiting for a while. When he felt someone patting him, he trotted towards his master.
He had just asked the young eunuch who was leading the horse and learned that his master and his companions had just come in not long ago, so he had to follow them.
Ye Lixuan and Ye Mingxuan's sedan chairs were moving on the road, and both of them were wondering what their father wanted to talk to them about.
At this time, it was getting dark, and the number of palace maids and eunuchs on both sides gradually decreased.
Yingliu ran all the way and finally caught up with his master's sedan chair. When Ye Lixuan saw Yingliu's arrival, he realized that Xiaoxi had followed in.
Ye Lixuan waved his hand, Ying Liu stopped his master, and then turned back.
Ye Mingxuan closed his eyes and did not see Ying Liu.
But Wei Kong saw that Yingliu and Erye just exchanged glances and then left. He didn't know what Yingliu was here for?
The sedan stopped in the courtyard outside the imperial study. When the two got out of the sedan, they saw Master Jin, who was beside the eldest emperor, standing at the door.
Master Jin stepped forward and saluted the two of them, the smile on his face clearly fake.
"I meet the Second Master and the Third Master!" As he spoke, his hands were secretly drawing talismans.
Gu Xiaoxi saw it clearly, and she also drew a talisman to block Ye Lixuan and the others.
However, her talisman is very special, which allows Master Jin to not feel that there is anything wrong with the talisman.
Master Jin thought he had succeeded, and was still gloating when he saw the two princes enter the yard.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't bear to see Master Jin's smug look, so she put something on Master Jin.
Master Jin suddenly felt itchy all over, so he started scratching hard, which immediately attracted the ridicule of the guards next to him.
However, these were guards from the imperial palace, so Master Jin didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only walk out of the yard and find a place to see what was going on.
Gu Xiaoxi saw Master Jin leave, then followed him in.
In the imperial study, the eldest prince was kneeling on the ground, and the emperor was holding two identical jade pendants in his hands.
However, there was obvious anger on the emperor's face.
Seeing the second and third brothers come in, he asked in a low voice, "Second brother, where did you get this jade pendant? Why is it the same as the one your eldest brother found?"
"Your Majesty, I got it from your royal grandfather. As to why they are the same, I don't know either," Ye Lixuan replied.
"Nonsense, the piece I got was from my royal grandfather." The eldest prince said domineeringly.
Ye Lixuan glanced at his eldest brother and said calmly, "Why are you so angry, eldest brother? I did get the jade pendant before you."
Um!
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, the second son gave the jade pendant to father a few days ago, and you got yours later.
So, tell me, what else did you find in the coffin?"
"Father, let me speak first." The eldest prince was afraid that the second prince would point out something different.
The emperor nodded helplessly.
The eldest prince said, "When we went in, we opened the coffin and saw the jade pendant in the emperor's hand. When we got the jade pendant, some tomb robbers came forward to snatch it."
"Then what was your royal grandfather's state when you saw him?" the emperor asked again.
"A pile of dry bones!" replied the eldest prince.
The emperor was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He looked at the second son and asked, "What about you?"
"I saw that Grandfather was sleeping, no different from a living person. But when I took the jade pendant away, Grandfather turned into dry bones."
"That's right. Legend has it that this jade pendant can prevent corpses from decaying. The one you got is real, second brother." The emperor said with certainty.
When the eldest prince heard his father's words, his heart skipped a beat.
How could he forget the uses of this jade pendant, one of which is to prevent corpses from decaying.
He knelt on the ground with a depressed look on his face, his heart filled with anger, and looked at the second brother with hatred.
Damn it!
It was a mistake not to kill the second brother at the beginning.
Now that the second brother has returned to the imperial capital, it will not be easy to take action.
"Okay, just make sure which one is the real one. Boss, your eyesight needs to be improved. I told you the purpose of this jade pendant before, but you really forgot it all.
Fortunately, the second brother really found it. If it fell into the hands of those tomb robbers, it would be troublesome.
"Your Majesty is right!" The eldest prince did not want to admit his incompetence, but he had to admit it in front of his father.
Ye Lixuan and Ye Mingxuan were secretly laughing when they saw the eldest prince being humiliated.
The eldest prince glanced at the two of them and found that they were fine, which made him feel puzzled.
Ye Lixuan and Ye Mingxuan did not want to associate with the eldest prince, so they retreated when their father waved his hand.
After the two left, the emperor looked at the eldest prince and said, "Although you are the eldest prince, you also know that father only likes outstanding princes. Otherwise, don't even think about sitting on the throne of the crown prince."
"Your Majesty, it is my incompetence. I will do my best to complete the tasks you have assigned me." The eldest prince said with a bow.
"Once those people from the imperial mausoleum come out, they will disrupt the world. Your Majesty does not want to see the country become like that." The emperor said with hatred.
"I will definitely fulfill my mission. I will clean up in the next two days and then go to wipe out those bandits!" The eldest prince replied with a serious face.
"Go down and have a good rest for a few days. Those people may not be so easy to deal with." The emperor waved his hand.
"Yes, father, I'll take my leave!" The eldest prince bowed and left the imperial study.
After listening to their conversation, Gu Xiaoxi felt that the emperor was partial to the eldest prince.
These were obviously the people Ye Lixuan found, so why did he hand this matter over to the eldest prince?
After the eldest prince left, Eunuch Lin asked cautiously, "The emperor has handed this matter over to the eldest prince. I'm afraid the second prince..."
"Let him think whatever he wants. If he has the ability, he can destroy those things in there. Why let me know about these things? It's really upsetting!" The emperor expressed his dissatisfaction with the second son.
Gu Xiaoxi...
