As planned, Ji Wushang revealed the Ji family's secret of immortality to the emperor.
The emperor was skeptical, "Mr. Ji, is this method really effective?"
Ji Wushang bowed slightly and said respectfully, "How dare I deceive Your Majesty? As long as Your Majesty investigates the truth behind the genocide of my Ji family and seeks justice, I will repay Your Majesty even if I die.
However, Your Majesty is surrounded by so many talented and ambitious people, so many who are willing to devote themselves to Your Majesty. Apart from being able to offer this method of immortality, I am useless.”
Upon hearing this, the emperor stared at him, his eyes deepening slightly.
In the hall, the emperor dressed in bright yellow walked around Ji Wushang with his hands behind his back, releasing invisible pressure.
According to Ji Wushang, the reason why the fortune tellers of the Ji family are immortal is not because of innate abilities, but because after knowing who the fortune teller is, in order to ensure the fortune teller's longevity and the prosperity of the family, the clan members will choose a person with the strongest blood relationship, the same destiny, and an extremely similar birth date to the fortune teller, and marry this person's lifespan and destiny to the fortune teller.
Currently, the only person around the emperor who meets this condition is the fourth prince Xiao Jingyan.
Xiao Jingyan's mother and the emperor are cousins, and their blood relationship is pure and strong. They have the same birth date and horoscope. As for luck, a fortune teller said a long time ago that Xiao Jingyan was destined to be an emperor.
So, no matter how you look at it, all of this seems too deliberate.
A dark glint flashed in the emperor's eyes, and murderous intent filled his eyes.
He really doesn't like others plotting against him.
Ji Wushang was not afraid, he was calm and composed, with a sincere look.
The emperor caught a glimpse of his calm demeanor and made a decision. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I believe you."
It's just that he lost a prince. He is in his prime, so he can just give birth to another one.
With the ability to live forever, it doesn't matter whether you have children or not.
…
Ji Wushang was arranged by the emperor to live in a palace in the palace, and many guards, maids and eunuchs were sent to serve him, under the pretext that this was so that Ji Wushang could concentrate on practicing the method of immortality for him.
Ji Wushang didn't care much, as if he had expected it. He started to tinker with it calmly, and everything seemed so normal.
Not long after, the emperor felt that his body was becoming stronger and his energy was growing stronger day by day. When he was doing things, he no longer felt that he had the will but not the strength as before.
The affairs of the court were also managed in an orderly manner, and life became more smooth and comfortable.
So the emperor believed in Ji Wushang's method even more.
On the other hand, Xiao Jingyan had been having trouble doing anything recently. He often felt short of breath and drowsy. He went to the imperial physician, but he said it was nothing serious.
But how could Jamel Xiao believe that everything was fine? This fact was too weird.
Thinking of the emperor's recent good complexion and the palace fortune teller Ji Wushang.
Jamel Xiao’s heart sank.
He has not forgotten about Concubine Shu.
When Concubine Shu got into trouble, Ji Wushang was also involved.
Doesn’t the emperor know whether Concubine Shu is a monster?
He just wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Zhenbei Marquis family, which was growing stronger and was about to threaten his throne.
However, he had to admit that Ji Wushang was indeed a bit mysterious.
Xiao Jingyan thought of the emperor's ruthlessness and ordered Wuxing to investigate thoroughly.
I really didn't expect to find some clues.
The emperor has always been pursuing immortality. It just so happens that all the fortune tellers of the Ji family have white hair and youthful faces, and their lifespans are extremely long. If it weren't for the fact that they shortened their lives due to prying into the secrets of heaven too much, these fortune tellers would probably have lived for thousands of years.
However, according to legend, the Ji clan fortune tellers were born with this ability to live forever. For thousands of years, countless people who have pursued immortality have proven that this is not a lie.
However, judging by the emperor's attitude towards Ji Wushang and the recent strange behavior, Xiao Jingyan had to doubt whether Ji Wushang really had some secret to immortality.
As smart as he was, he understood most of the situation by thinking about his recent inability to do things and everything going wrong.
Immortality is against the will of heaven and will be punished by heaven. It seems that the emperor has already thrown this punishment on him!
Xiao Jingyan became angry and frequently went into the palace, trying to get information from the emperor and Ji Wushang, both openly and secretly, while also placing his own people into the palace where Ji Wushang was.
The truth was quickly pieced together.
After learning the truth of the matter, Jamel Xiao was completely furious.
That person clearly wanted to kill him!
The emperor was no pushover and soon realized that Xiao Jingyan already knew about this. Fearing that he would rebel in anger, he found an excuse to put him under house arrest and at the same time suppressed his mother's family.
Xiao Jingyan was trapped in the prince's mansion and was so angry that he decided to rebel not long after.
However, Xiao Jingyan is not stupid. He has no choice now. If he doesn't kill the emperor, he will die, but he doesn't want to let Xiao Jingwen at the border get away with it.
Whether it was the Shufei incident or his own case, the beneficiary was him, Xiao Jingwen.
If he still doesn't understand the subtlety of this, he is hopelessly stupid.
Jamel Xiao sneered repeatedly. Could it be that he had forgotten that his weak spot was still in the capital? !
No matter what, he must hold Chu Yanxi firmly in his hand and treat it as his last trump card!
