The situation was urgent, and Yan Miaoling was so nervous that she didn't care about the nausea. She picked up the bed sheet and, without thinking twice, transferred the body of Emperor Dazhao into the space.
She felt that this bloody thing would give her nightmares for the rest of her life.
Lan Shang just came back from applying medicine. She whispered the plan to him, and then the two of them worked together to deal with the scene.
At this time, the leader of the Imperial Guards, Zhang Mao, had already sensed something was wrong and raised his voice, "Your Majesty!" The meaning was obvious that if there was no movement, I would come in.
Suddenly, Lan Shang's terrified voice was heard from inside, "Someone come, it's bad, the emperor has been kidnapped!"
Zhang Mao panicked and pushed the door open...
Unconvinced by Lan Shang's explanation, he led his men through the entire Hele Palace. Finally, he glared at Lan Shang and said, "Empress Shang, the Emperor lost it here, and there's a smell of blood in your chamber. You must be involved!"
Lan Shang, dressed in women's clothing, crossed his legs and didn't take him seriously at all. "You're an idiot, aren't you? I told you it was a man in green robes who kidnapped the emperor. Why didn't you believe me? Idiot!"
Zhang Mao was furious at being scolded, and after losing the ruler of a country, his life was in danger. He completely disregarded the hierarchy and ordered his men to take Concubine Shang away and hand her over to the Queen Mother for disposal!
When the emperor is not around, the empress dowager is the highest-ranking official in the palace, so there is nothing wrong with doing this.
But he was thinking that this matter would have a huge impact, and he had to quickly trust the prince and let him make plans early.
Everyone had their own ideas and moved very quickly.
But no one was as fast as Yan Miaoling.
First, she cloned herself and went to the Prince's residence. She knocked the sleeping Prince unconscious and locked him in a space. Imagine how the Prince would react when he woke up and saw his father reduced to pieces. The fact that he didn't become a fool was a sign of his great concentration.
Next, her other avatar went to find Jinyiwei Commander Si Youhong and briefly explained the whole story. Afterward, regardless of the shock and twitching expression on Si Youhong's face, she disappeared. He had seen a lot and was smart, and Yan Miaoling believed that she didn't need to direct this matter.
Next, she split herself into two and went to the bedroom of Emperor Dazhao to search for the mysterious man in green robe.
This is the clue given by Lan Shang.
It turned out that before the incident, Lan Shang had received a secret letter containing the relics left to him by his mother, asking him to go out for a meeting.
Lan Shang said that after they met, the man, cloaked in a green robe and wearing a mask, claimed to be his uncle and that he and his biological mother were both mermaids. Lan Shang, of course, didn't believe him, but the man explained that mermaids possess a unique trait: direct descendants of their bloodline are naturally gifted with awakened special abilities. Some possess great strength, some have clairvoyance, some have purple pupils, and some can even reverse gender, among other things...
He also demonstrated his purple pupils to Lan Shang on the spot.
Lan Shang not only possesses the ability to reverse his gender, but also possesses purple eyes that allow him to use illusions. This is the fundamental reason he was able to repeatedly deceive Emperor Da Zhao and avoid serving him in the emperor's bedchamber. Medication is only secondary.
After seeing that Lan Shang believed it, the man continued to tell the story.
Back then, the mermaids and Lan Shang's father's Lan Ying clan were both steadfastly loyal to the previous dynasty's Li clan. However, one of them was civil, while the other was military. The mermaids were more likely to hold civil office or practice divination at the Imperial Observatory.
The Xuanyuan family started a rebellion. The father of Emperor Da Zhao, also the previous emperor, led his men into the palace and forced Lan Shang's grandfather to write an abdication edict for the previous emperor, hoping to make his own throne legitimate.
But Lan Shang's grandfather refused, and so his entire family was executed. The leader was none other than the then-fourth son, the Great Zhao Emperor. He personally decapitated every head, laughing arrogantly afterward. Even in his youth, the Great Zhao Emperor was a ruthless character.
No wonder he was able to win the battle for the throne among the nine princes.
The surviving uncle, Lan Shang, escaped with his sister. After searching all the way, he finally caught up with the fleeing prince Li Zi's group and served him from then on.
Later, Lan Shangniang, due to her stunning beauty, caught Li Zi's eye. However, she was already in love with Lan Shang's father, so how could she accept him? Li Zi was naturally lustful, but as a remnant of the previous dynasty, he understood the importance of winning over others. Ultimately, he gave up his love for Lan Shangniang and gave her to Lan Shang's father. The two of them spent their days together, enjoying a sweet and happy life.
The good times did not last long. Lan Shang's father was seriously injured while protecting Li Ziben and was dying. Lan Shang's mother cried bitterly and claimed that she wanted to die with him.
What could Li Zi do? So he proposed to leave an heir for the Lan family, and let Lan Shang's mother secretly get pregnant with Lan Shang. With Lan Shang as her bond, after Lan Shang's father died, she really stopped seeking death.
Li Zi thought, this is my chance. He waited until she had given birth and her figure had returned, and then took advantage of her. But Lan Shangniang was too infatuated and didn't give him a chance.
Tragedy struck. Once, drunken Li Zi attempted to force himself on Lan Shangniang, who, to preserve her reputation, threatened him with a pair of scissors. Enraged, Li Zi accidentally strangled her to death.
Leaving behind Lan Shang, who was less than one year old and crying for food.
But Li Zi lied to Lan Shang and said that his mother was just an ordinary woman who died of depression after giving birth to him.
It's just outrageous, what a lie, what a liar.
How could Lan Shang not be angry after hearing this?
Later, the green-robed man showed him the totem on his back. It was a totem with a human body and a fish tail, which only appeared after drinking. Lan Shang also had it. Now he believed it a lot.
He hated Emperor Da Zhao and Li Zi very much.
Only then did she let down her guard and encountered the so-called uncle's scheme. She was drugged.
Emperor Dazhao broke in that night. What was there for Lan Shang to not understand? The man in green robe was using him.
Look how miserable he is. His maternal grandparents died for their loyalty to the previous dynasty, but his parents were not treated well by Li Zi. He even forced his mother to death.
That wasn't all. As a child, he had a particularly deep memory. When he was ten, Li Zi, drunk, forced himself on him and tried to kiss him. He struggled and cried, summoning servants, who finally stopped him.
Li Zi apologized and said that he mistook him for an old friend. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he was talking about his mother.
He didn't understand it at that time, but when he recalled it again, he got goosebumps.
He recognized the thief as his father and was grateful for Li Zi's education. He completely let him control him like a mindless puppet.
Lan Shang was filled with grief and hated the Emperor Da Zhao for his evil intentions to the extreme. That's why he killed and tortured the Emperor.
Time was running out, leaving Lan Shang and Yan Miaoling little time to communicate. Now that her avatar had arrived at the Dazhao Emperor's chambers, Yan Miaoling wondered: If this was a vengeance for the extermination of the entire family, why didn't the green-robed man, Lan Shang's uncle, hate the Dazhao Emperor, and instead drug his nephew to help him succeed?
She smells and discerns flavors.
After a while, they found the place where the man in green robe was hiding, but there was no one there.
The building was deserted long ago and no one had left.
She was furious and grabbed the Dazhao Emperor's attendant, "Tell me, how did the man in green robe get in touch with your master..."
