As soon as Xuanyuan Zhan said this, all the soldiers present instantly erupted in uproar.
"The Emperor is not seriously ill, but rather has been poisoned by a curse?"
"Was it the Third Prince who cast a spell on the Emperor, causing his sudden serious illness?"
"What is the Puppet Gu? Is it because of this Puppet Gu that the Emperor entrusted the affairs of Eastern Chu to the Third Prince?"
"Then the Third Prince is now suspected of regicide and patricide!"
"If this is true, then the Third Prince is truly ruthless; he can even bring himself to harm his own father!"
Not to mention that these people who knew nothing about the matter were in an uproar after hearing it, and the city tower was instantly thrown into chaos.
All the commanders and generals present turned their gazes toward Xuan Yuan Yu.
Cao Qi and his group weren't too surprised, but they seemed to be waiting for Xuan Yuan Yu's answer.
Li Jinyuan and his two companions were indifferent. They didn't care whether the emperor of Eastern Chu was seriously ill or poisoned by a curse. In any case, it had little to do with them. They were just watching the show.
Xuanyuan Zhi knew what Xuanyuan Yu had done to his father, and he had been investigating the matter, trying to get some information to report it to. However, he still couldn't figure out exactly what Xuanyuan Yu had done to his father.
It turned out to be a puppet gu!
No wonder the Emperor originally intended for the two of them to jointly manage state affairs, but suddenly favored Xuanyuan Yu and entrusted everything to him. It turns out that Xuanyuan Yu had used the Puppet Gu to control the Emperor.
He had suspected before that his father was being controlled by Xuanyuan Yu, but he never expected it to be a puppet gu!
It has to be said that Xuan Yuanzhan is really amazing. He is in the palace every day and still hasn't figured out what tricks Xuan Yuanyu has played. But Xuan Yuanzhan is far away in the north and knows more about what is happening in the capital than he does!
Xuanyuan Duo was also stunned, looking at Xuanyuan Yu in disbelief.
Xuanyuan Zhi had told him before that the third prince was responsible for his father's serious illness.
Because the second and third sons were also vying for the throne, he didn't quite believe the second son's words. Or perhaps it was because he had always followed the third son and ultimately held some expectations for him.
But he never expected that his father's serious illness was actually the work of the third prince, who had even placed a puppet curse on his father!
That's their father! No matter what, he's still their biological father. How could he do that to them?
Xuanyuan Yu stared at Xuanyuan Zhan below with a sinister look, the anger and panic in his eyes betraying his current emotions.
Damn it, how did Xuanyuan Zhan know about the Puppet Gu?
He had done everything perfectly, and even Xuan Yuanzhi couldn't find anything about it. How could Xuan Yuanzhan, who was far away in the north, know about these things?
"Third brother, is what Xuanyuan Zhan said true? Did you really put the puppet Gu on Father?" Xuanyuan Duo asked, clenching his fists, unwilling to give up.
Xuanyuan Yu glared at Xuanyuan Duo impatiently: "What time is it? You're still listening to this traitor's words and questioning me!"
Xuanyuan Yu glared at Xuanyuan Duo, then stared at Xuanyuan Zhan below: "You, Xuanyuan Zhan, how dare you slander me on the battlefield! You're trying to demoralize our troops!"
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't argue with him at all. He simply waved his hand, and a sharp palm wind flew towards the prison cart.
The red cloth covering the prison cart fluttered down instantly, revealing a woman dressed in exotic red clothes lying quietly inside, as if asleep.
Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuan Zhi, Xuanyuan Duo and the others immediately recognized the woman as Long Jiaojiao.
Xuanyuan Zhi and Xuanyuan Duo looked at Xuanyuan Yu again.
This woman had a past with Xuan Yuan Yu, and she must have taught him how to use the puppet gu. Otherwise, where would Xuan Yuan Yu have gotten such an evil thing?
Xuanyuan Yu's face was extremely ugly at this moment.
He actually captured the dragon Jiaojiao!
What exactly does he want to do?
Xuan Yuanzhan stared intently at Xuan Yuanyu: "If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place. The demoness I captured can remove the curse from the Emperor. If you want to prove your innocence, then let me enter the palace to remove the curse from the Emperor!"
How could Xuanyuan Yu possibly let him into the capital? "Father Emperor was not poisoned at all. What are you talking about curing the poison? I think you just want to enter the palace to murder Father Emperor so you can seize the throne!"
Seeing that he was still trying to argue, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't want to waste any more words with him. He looked at the people on the city wall again and said, "Everything I said is true. Xuan Yuanyu used the puppet Gu to harm the Emperor. If you help him, you will also be harming the Emperor!"
The commanders and generals on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Yu each have their own version of events, previous indications suggest that what Xuanyuan Zhan said is true.
After all, the Emperor had previously favored Xuanyuan Zhan so much, and even intended to make him the Crown Prince, so Xuanyuan Zhan had no reason to rebel.
Moreover, the Emperor originally intended for the Second Prince and the Third Prince to jointly oversee the country, but suddenly he handed everything over to the Third Prince, which is quite strange.
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was still trying to sow discord, Xuan Yuanyu became anxious: "Enough with the nonsense, if you have the guts, then attack the city! Otherwise, thinking of entering the imperial city is just a pipe dream!"
Xuanyuan Zhan narrowed his eyes menacingly and sneered, "Since you want to die, it would be unreasonable for me not to grant your wish!"
Xuanyuan Zhan waved his hand and said, "Attack the city!"
At Xuanyuan Zhan's command, the army behind him surged toward the city gate like a tidal wave.
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's soldiers attacking the city, Xuan Yuanyu excitedly looked at Li Jinyuan and the other two: "You all saw it, right? Now that he's attacking the city, can your Su family army be mobilized?"
Li Jinyuan looked apologetically at Xuanyuan Zhan below: "Your Highness, I'm sorry!"
Li Jinyuan waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Su family army immediately stepped forward and engaged in battle with Xuan Yuanzhan's soldiers.
Xuan Yuanzhan wasn't afraid at all. He simply raised his eyes and looked at Li Jinyuan calmly: "You must be General Li Jinyuan of the Su Family Army. When my father-in-law was alive, the Su Family Army protected the country and was praised by the people of Dongchu. Now, General Li, are you going to help the wicked?"
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan address the General as his father-in-law, Li Jinyuan and the other two felt a mix of emotions: "Your Highness, we are only acting under orders, please forgive us."
This is their general's son-in-law, so he's practically one of their own. If the general were still alive, would he blame them if he knew they were going to fight the prince?
Xuanyuan Zhan snorted coldly: "On orders? On whose orders! My father-in-law is gone, and the Emperor is under the influence of the puppet curse. Don't you know whose orders you are following?"
Seeing that the Su family army had already begun to defend the city, Xuan Yuanzhan tried to appeal to emotions again, which made Xuan Yuanyu anxious. He took out the Su family army's military tally and shouted angrily, "It is the Emperor's decree. I have the Su family army's military tally, and they must obey my orders!"
Looking at the military tally in Xuan Yuan Yu's hand, Xuan Yuan Zhan sneered, "The military tally of the Su family army? Are you sure that one of yours is the real military tally of the Su family army?"
Xuan Yuan Yu's face stiffened. He didn't understand how Xuan Yuan Zhan knew everything. However, since no one had the real Su Family Army military token, his was the real Su Family Army military token.
"How can this not be the real Su family army military tally? This is the real Su family army military tally!"
As soon as Xuan Yuan Yu finished speaking, Su Yun An took out the black bronze military tally: "Yours is the real Su family army military tally, so what is mine?"
