Liu Che was clearly confused about Liu Tan's tactics and asked, "So... what should we do now?"
Liu Tan turned to Miao Rui and said, "Give me the paper."
Miao Rui immediately handed over a piece of white paper that had been processed before and cut into pieces. Liu Tan put a piece of paper in his hand and slapped it on Xue Yao, then took it off very quickly, and then slapped it on others in turn.
He folded all the paper into little turtles on the spot, and then said to Liu Che: "Okay, these evil spirits have been imprisoned here."
Liu Che was immediately filled with disbelief: "How can such a short piece of paper be able to imprison evil spirits?"
Liu Tan said, "Hey, I knew Father wouldn't believe me. Bring me a basin of water!"
After the water was brought up, Liu Tan picked up one of the little turtles and threw it directly into the water. After entering the water, the turtle quickly swam in the water, which made Liu Che couldn't help but stand up from the throne. Liu Tan simply asked someone to bring the basin of water over, and then threw the little turtles in one by one in front of Liu Che.
Xue Yao and the others who were pinned to the ground also took a look and instantly collapsed to the ground. For a moment, even they believed that they were possessed.
Liu Che's expression was solemn: "Will this... this evil ghost be drowned?"
Liu Tan shook his head: "No, let's do it again."
Liu Che looked up at him, and Liu Tan turned and said, "Bring up those lamps."
Bigo and Miao Rui quickly came up with a few lamps, the lamp oil and lamp cords of which had been processed.
Liu Tan fished out the little turtles. At this time, because they had been soaked in water, the little turtles were a little torn. He used other paper to absorb the water.
Liu Che was quite frightened by his careless actions: "Tan'er, be careful, don't tear it apart and let the evil spirit out."
Liu Tan paused for a moment, feeling a little tired, but he still obediently and carefully absorbed the water floating on the paper. As for the paper being still wet... he couldn't do anything about that.
Liu Tan put the little turtles into the oil lamp one by one, and then asked someone to light the oil lamp.
After the oil lamp was lit, smoke rose and snakes of smoke swayed. If Liu Che hadn't known that it was smoke, he would almost have thought that they were real snakes!
After Liu Tan waited for the smoke snakes to rise to a certain height, he stretched out his hands and broke them, clenching his fists as if he was holding them in his hands.
Before Liu Che could ask, Liu Tan said seriously, "Oil pan!"
Liu Ju was startled: "Fifth brother, what are you going to do?"
Liu Tan said, "This kind of evil spirit lingers in the human world, refusing to leave and even possessing human bodies to deceive the emperor. It's only right that they be frying in oil!"
The wok was quickly brought up by Bigo and Miao Rui. When it was brought over, the oil inside was slightly swaying, and it could be seen that it was real oil.
Liu Tan asked someone to light the fire, then walked to the wok. After the oil in the wok began to boil, Liu Tan smiled at Liu Che, lifted his sleeves and put his right hand directly into the wok.
In an instant, there were gasps and exclamations in the hall, and even Liu Che stood up with a look of shock.
Liu Ju even ran over and grabbed Liu Tan's arm, pulling him out while anxiously saying, "Are you crazy?"
Liu Tan pulled his hand out, showing Liu Ju his uninjured hand and said, "Don't worry, after all, we have the immortal's blessing."
Liu Ju stood there in a daze for a moment as he looked at his shiny hands. Liu Che could no longer sit still and hurried down to take a look at Liu Tan's hands. After finding that there was indeed nothing wrong with them, he looked at the oil pan again.
He had learned a lot from being tricked. A prop like an oil pan with its contents obscured was easy to fake.
However, when he looked down, he did see the clear, transparent pot of oil, which was still bubbling, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Liu Tan asked someone to bring soap nuts for washing hands while he said seriously, "This time we have truly eliminated the evil spirits. As for these few... I will leave it to my father to decide."
Liu Che was somewhat bewildered by this series of changes, but as soon as he returned to the throne, he had regained his usual shrewdness and strength. Without even a glance at Xue Yao, he simply said, "Drag them all away and execute them."
Liu Tan said nothing. There was no way to plead for the crime of deceiving the emperor, not to mention that he didn't want to plead for mercy.
Xue Yao was originally trembling with fear because of the evil spirit that had been found in him. When he heard that his life was in danger, he immediately felt the fear of death and shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I was forced to do this. Someone captured my whole family and forced me to surrender."
Liu Tan's heart moved. "I have to give in? You are the one who benefited from deceiving the emperor. Why would anyone force you?"
Xue Yao swallowed and said, "Because... because he hopes that Your Majesty will depose the Crown Prince and make the Sixth Prince the Crown Prince."
Liu Ju's face immediately turned pale, but Liu Che's face was very calm, his eyes were as still as a pond, and he didn't look like he had been deceived by the alchemist at all.
However, when Liu Tan knew that Liu Che was in this state, it was the most terrifying moment, because you didn't know how angry he was and what consequences it would cause.
Liu Tan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but now he didn't dare to do so. He had to shrink to the side and continue to struggle with the oil that had stained his entire hand and half of his arm.
You can’t live without soap these days!
Although soap is not as good as dishwashing liquid in removing oil, it is still better than soapnuts!
At this time, Liu Tan was already recalling the soap formula in his mind, which was simply suffocating.
Liu Che asked in a deep voice, "Who took the things from the Crown Prince's palace?"
Xue Yao obviously didn't know much, and just said: "Your Majesty... No, the sinner doesn't know much, that person never said it."
Liu Che asked, "Drag him away and ask him clearly."
This matter involved too many things, and Liu Che didn't have the patience to waste time talking to Xue Yao.
After these people were dragged away, Liu Che turned to look at Liu Tan who was struggling with his arm, and suddenly smiled again: "Why? Didn't the gods teach you how to clean up?"
Liu Tan looked up at him blankly, then remembered his previous character setting, and said bitterly: "The immortal came to me in the dream to save my father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why would he care about me!"
Liu Tan had thought about this before. Although the immortal had appeared in his dream, after this incident, he couldn't take advantage of the situation and really consider himself a disciple of the immortal.
It's very simple, because his surname is Liu. Others may be the descendants of immortals. After all, immortals are spontaneous and they choose people based on their understanding rather than their background.
But it’s different in the Liu family. In this family, Liu Che must be the best. No matter from which aspect, who dares to surpass the emperor? Even if you are his son!
Therefore, Liu Tan must have been chosen temporarily by the immortal to save the emperor and the prince of the empire. As for why Liu Che was not chosen and asked to come in person, or why Liu Ju was not chosen, Liu Tan had not figured it out yet, but he decided to remain ignorant!
Liu Che didn't seem to care about this, or rather, Liu Tan had been a little weird before, so Liu Che didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said at this moment.
He even pressed on, "Oh? Really? Does this mean the gods in heaven are also watching me?"
Liu Tan looked up at him and said, "Of course. The immortals said that the emperors of the human world are the incarnations of immortals who have experienced tribulations. As a colleague, of course he has to protect them."
Liu Che immediately became interested after hearing this: "Oh? So, I am also an immortal?"
Liu Tan said uncertainly, "That should be the case. The immortal said so, but he didn't tell me what kind of immortal you are. He only said that after the tribulation is over, you will return to the immortal class."
Liu Che asked, "When will this tribulation end? What kind of tribulation am I going through?"
Liu Tan racked his brains. "Just... feeling the mortal world? The immortal said something very mysterious, and he also said something that I couldn't understand. I don't understand it either."
Liu Tan saw that Liu Che seemed to be very moved and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Would Liu Che commit suicide in order to return to the immortal class as soon as possible?
He shouldn't be that kind of person.
Liu Tan was worried and quickly added, "The immortal didn't tell me when the tribulation would end. He only said that the secret must not be revealed."
The expression on Liu Che's face seemed a little regretful. If he could know, it would be great. He was the emperor, wouldn't it be easy for him to speed up his tribulation?
Liu Che asked again: "Did the immortal say anything else?"
Liu Tan spoke directly, "The immortal said that I have some conflicts with Chang'an and should go to the vassal state as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Liu Che glanced at Liu Tan and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid you said that yourself."
Liu Tan: Damn, why are you so smart at this time?
