Chapter 466 Are You Sure It’s Fake?
Gu Xiaoxi was afraid that she might have missed something, so she asked No. 1 and No. 2 to record the whole process so that they could study it carefully when they got back.
After thinking things over, Lord Li bowed and said, "Your Majesty, to activate this large jade pendant, we need dragon blood!"
The emperor looked at Eunuch Lin, and Eunuch Lin handed him a dagger, which he used to cut a wound on his hand.
Eunuch Lin brought a bowl and caught the emperor's blood.
"It's okay, Your Majesty!" Lord Li spoke, and the imperial physician came in, cleaned the wound, and then left.
After waiting for the imperial physician to leave, Lord Li followed the method left by his master, dipped the jade pendant in the emperor's blood and drew talismans on it, muttering incantations in a confident manner.
There was no effect when he recited it for the first time, and Lord Li felt that he might not be familiar enough with it.
The second time he recited it, there was no effect, and Lord Li wondered if he had recited the spell incorrectly.
The third time he chanted it, there was no effect, and Lord Li began to suspect that there was something wrong with the jade pendant.
After chanting the spell three times, Gu Xiaoxi memorized it by watching the lip movements.
Plop!
When he chanted the spell for the sixth time, Lord Li knelt on the ground with sweat all over his forehead.
"Your Majesty, this, this jade pendant is, is fake!" He said this tremblingly.
Firstly, he had doubts in his heart, and secondly, if he didn't say this, he would definitely die here today.
"It's fake! Are you sure it's fake?" The emperor stood up excitedly after hearing this.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this, this is fake. If it is a real jade pendant, something will happen to the jade pendant after the talisman falls. Now the jade pendant has no reaction at all, it must be fake." Lord Li said confidently.
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your spell?" the emperor demanded.
"No problem!" Lord Li said firmly, but his heart was shaking like a sieve.
Bang!
The emperor flew into a rage, smashed the table, and cursed: "What a useless thing!"
"Your Majesty, why don't you try the piece for the eldest prince?" Eunuch Lin suggested cautiously.
The emperor nodded, and Eunuch Lin took out the jade pendant and asked Lord Li to continue trying it.
The result is predictable, they are all fake.
The emperor was so angry that he threw another vase. It would have been fine if only one of his sons was useless, but he didn't expect that both of his sons were useless and even brought back fakes.
Lord Li knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to breathe.
Eunuch Lin consoled him, "Your Majesty, that is a treasure left by the late emperor. The two princes have never touched it. Even if they have come across a fake..."
When the emperor heard what Eunuch Lin said, his anger slowly subsided. He waved his hand, and Lord Li crawled back.
After the door was closed, he ordered, "Have the boss take people to the imperial mausoleum and make sure to get the real jade pendant back!"
"Your Majesty means that the thing is in Concubine Yun's hands?" Eunuch Lin asked curiously.
"What else? They've been staying in that dark place for so many years, so they're close to the water.
They've caused so much trouble just to watch the two princes fight among themselves." The emperor told Eunuch Lin his speculation.
Eunuch Lin nodded in agreement, bent down and stepped back to announce the decree.
The reason why the emperor asked the eldest son to go was very simple. It was because the second son was injured, otherwise he would not have asked the eldest son to go.
Gu Xiaoxi set her eyes on the jade pendant with the word "country" on it. When the emperor got angry, a fake one had already been made.
Not only that, she also used a trick to replace the jade pendant that had just been wiped clean.
After swapping the jade pendant, she didn't leave in a hurry because she hadn't gotten the emperor's hair yet.
However, she did not waste time and tried the method that Lord Li had just used in the space.
"No, the dog emperor's blood is missing." She muttered.
"Boss, didn't Lord Li just say that as long as it's royal blood, it will be fine?" Number One reminded.
"Yes, let's try it with Ye Lixuan's blood when we get back." Gu Xiaoxi could only put this thing aside for the time being.
It was broad daylight and the emperor was still quite busy. She thought about it and decided to go find the third master's biological mother, Concubine Dong, first.
The women in the palace love beauty and are also lazy. They spend most of their time either sitting or lying down, and they have to be served by servants, so it is much easier to find an opportunity to take advantage of them.
The reason for getting Concubine Dong's hair is to see if there is something wrong with her mother as well?
Because it is unlikely that a noble concubine would commit adultery, a big reason being that the child was swapped.
During the lunch break, she successfully got Concubine Dong's hair.
However, Concubine Dong and the Third Master did bear some resemblance, which made her a little puzzled.
After leaving Concubine Dong and coming to the Dog Emperor, the Emperor took a nap out of fatigue after lunch.
Gu Xiaoxi waited for the opportunity to cut off a lock of the emperor's hair with scissors, and hurried away with the hair.
After leaving the palace, she went straight to the Third Master's residence.
Ye Mingxuan pretended to be sick at home and had to lie in the bedroom.
When he is at home, Ye Lan has to run errands for him.
After lying down for a whole day, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Master, the emperor has issued an imperial decree. How long do you plan to lie down?" Wei Kong asked his master curiously.
"Let's wait a few days. It's healed so quickly. Father must have some thoughts." Ye Mingxuan knew that his father was suspicious.
At this moment, someone came in to report: "Master, I just received news that the eldest prince has been sent to the imperial mausoleum by imperial decree to assist the Fifth Master in apprehending those rebels!"
"Assist?" Ye Mingxuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this word.
Whenever there is a mission, the eldest brother is always the main one. Why is he only assisting this time? There is obviously something fishy here.
"Send someone to find out what Big Brother is doing this time?" He half-closed his eyes.
"Are you saying that the eldest prince has another secret mission?" Wei Kong asked doubtfully.
"When have you ever seen my brother help anyone?" Ye Mingxuan expressed his thoughts.
"Yes!" Wei Kong took the order and retreated.
Ye Mingxuan sat up and then sighed deeply: "Father, what exactly are you going to do? Why do you look down on me even though I have done so many things? Could it be that..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but the expression on his face was obvious.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't believe that the Third Master was so bold and even had the intention of rebelling.
However, the price of rebellion is not small, and there are many things to prepare.
She suddenly realized that they had underestimated the Third Master, and that he might have two plans.
"Master, it's time for you to take your medicine." Wei Bai walked in with a bowl of medicine, accompanied by a medical officer.
Ye Mingxuan frowned, looking weak all of a sudden, and his voice was much softer: "Okay!"
Ye Mingxuan was helped up and sat on the chair next to him. Gu Xiaoxi took advantage of someone approaching and carefully snapped with the scissors.
Mission accomplished, time to go home!
Another busy day has passed. Gu Xiaoxi feels that there is not enough time in this place.
When they returned to the palace, night had fallen and there were still many spies watching at the door. It seemed that these princes were like stars, attracting attention every day.
Gu Xiaoxi waited until she reached the door, then followed the person delivering the items inside.
After entering the palace, she came to the courtyard where Ye Lixuan lived with familiarity.
As soon as she entered the yard, she heard the voices of the imperial doctors. She was a little surprised why these imperial doctors appeared at this time.
At this time, Yingyi and the others were all very anxious.
