Chapter 28: Ghost, the Great Weapon

Could it be that he was dying and was hallucinating?

Shen Zongguang and Qin Yunshuang looked at each other.

How could Xiao Tangbao say such outrageous words?

Fortunately, the emperor couldn't hear her thoughts, otherwise what would have happened?

But... looking at the emperor's sickly appearance, is it really possible that he is... dying?

Both husband and wife were a little worried. After all, the territory of Da Sheng was stable and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. If the emperor passed away and the dynasty changed, there would inevitably be some turmoil.

They all hope that the emperor will be in good health and live a long life.

[In fact, the emperor had a very good longevity and was blessed with great fortune. He could have lived to be over a hundred years old without any problems. But the problem was caused by the incense burner.]

Shen Tang looked at the incense burner that was emitting a cloud of black air and sighed deeply in her heart.

Originally the emperor suspected that he was hallucinating. Under the bed, he pinched his thigh.

It hurts quite a bit.

It seems that he was not hallucinating, and what he heard was real.

Just now the little baby said that there was something wrong with the incense burner, but this incense burner was a tribute from the envoys of the Western Regions. It was made of the most expensive imperial green jadeite from the Western Regions. The material was emerald green all over, with excellent color, moist texture, and as delicate as fat. The incense burner was also carved with the finest yellow jade with a lifelike and vivid golden dragon, which was majestic and full of dignity.

Emperor Sheng had seen many good things, so he naturally knew that this incense burner was not an ordinary item, whether in terms of its material or carving. What's more, spices were sent from the Western Regions, which were said to have the effect of promoting sleep and nourishing the mind, making people feel relaxed and happy, and making the whole body comfortable. These spices and the incense burner complement each other, and they will have miraculous effects after use.

The senior imperial physician from the Dasheng Kingdom also checked the spices sent here. Every medicinal ingredient is of excellent quality and beneficial to the human body. That is why he felt at ease using them.

After using it, it was exactly as the envoy from the Western Regions said, his whole body and mind were relaxed, his headaches were gone, he slept soundly, and he no longer had nightmares at night. Whenever he felt unwell, he would use this incense burner and his body would relax.

But now... the little baby actually said that there was something wrong with the incense burner?

[This incense burner was originally a good thing, but unfortunately, someone with bad intentions injected evil spirits into it. The incense burner, which was originally a nourishing and healthy thing, has become a deadly weapon that will devour a person's vitality and spirit. Over time, the person will die.]

What?!

The emperor's weak eyes suddenly widened, filled with anger.

The people in the Western Regions are so ambitious!

He was kind enough not to attack the Western Regions, but just asked them to pay tribute to the Great Sheng Kingdom every year, but he didn't expect...

Being kind to your enemy means being cruel to yourself!

[The person who gave the emperor this incense burner is really evil. He hopes that the emperor will die soon and cause chaos in Dasheng. Alas, if he continues to use it, the emperor will die before tonight. I am so anxious. How can I let the emperor know that this incense burner is a bad thing? ]

Shen Zongguang and Qin Yunshuang were also shocked.

Shen Zongguang boldly said, "Your Majesty, the incense in the incense burner is almost burned out, why not put it out?"

The emperor on the bed coughed heavily, "My dear minister, you are right... Come, put out the incense burner."

Soon, Eunuch Liu extinguished the incense in the incense burner.

"I find this incense burner unpleasant to the eyes. Please take it out." The emperor said weakly.

"Yes." Eunuch Liu was a little puzzled. This incense burner was the emperor's most beloved thing before. It had to be burned day and night. Why did it become an eyesore now?

But this was the emperor's intention, and he didn't dare to guess what he meant, so he had to do as he said.

[Simply moving such a large weapon out won't solve the problem. The incense burner has to be smashed.]

[But this stove is the emperor's favorite thing, how can I smash it? ]

Shen Zongguang gritted his teeth and just when Eunuch Liu was about to step out of the door, he calmly stretched out his left foot.

Eunuch Liu was caught off guard and tripped, falling uncontrollably to the ground.

Clang——

The incense burner fell heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.

Eunuch Liu's pupils suddenly shrank, his scalp went numb with fear, and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, "I deserve to die!"

Shen Zongguang also knelt down quickly, "It is my fault. I was careless and tripped Eunuch Liu, which resulted in the emperor's incense burner being smashed. I deserve to die!"

Qin Yunshuang held Tang Bao in her arms and quickly knelt on the ground.

Shen Tang saw a large cloud of black gas coming out of the broken incense burner.

Black gas emerged from a pile of debris, twisting its body and floating, trying to float away.

【Bad thing! Where are you going! 】

Shen Tang stretched out her little hand and grabbed in the air——

Just like that, Shen Tang grabbed the ball of black air through the air and held it tightly in her little hand.

[Hehe, you little brat, I'm going to eat you up in one bite.]

Little Shentang grasped the ball of black air in her little hands and stuffed it into her little mouth.

The ball of black gas struggled and twisted, but was finally put into the little milk ball's mouth and swallowed up with a crunch.

Shen Tang was a Pixiu in his previous life. He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and was able to purify all the evil thoughts in this world.

This extremely vicious ghost is a cursed killer to ordinary people, but to Shen Tang, it is a delicious snack.

After eating, little Shentang burped.

Qin Yunshuang, Shen Zongguang: ...

What kind of magical existence is this young lady of my family?

The emperor looked at this scene in disbelief. He blinked and suspected for a moment that he was dazzled. He just clearly saw the little kid grab a large ball of black gas coming out of the broken incense burner, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it bite by bite.

Then he clearly felt the suffocating and heavy feeling on his body disappear.

It was as if a huge rock tied to the body was quickly removed.

Suddenly, he felt relaxed and much better.

At this time, Eunuch Liu was still kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, and Shen Zongguang and his wife were kneeling with him.

At this time, Eunuch Liu was sweating profusely and his face turned pale.

Everyone knows that the emperor treasures this incense burner the most and keeps it burning day and night. But now, such a precious thing has been broken, and his head is also in danger.

He awaits the decision of his fate——

Unexpectedly, the next second, the emperor said leisurely, "It's just an incense burner, it's no big deal, everyone get up."

Eunuch Liu: ???

Is that it?

Shen Zongguang and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor is benevolent and loves his people. He is indeed a good emperor.

"Eunuch Liu, please pack up and leave." The emperor said. He found that he was no longer coughing or panting, and he spoke much more easily than before.

"Also, please invite all the imperial doctors to come and see me."

"yes."

Soon, the imperial doctors came in, all with solemn expressions.

Everyone knew that the emperor's luck was about to run out. They had been treating the emperor every day these days and could sense that he was about to die, but they could not find out what was wrong. Everyone had tried their best to diagnose him, but the emperor still showed no signs of improvement.

They all felt that it was over.

The emperor is finished, they are finished, and the Great Sheng Kingdom is also finished.

The imperial doctors no longer held out any hope. At worst, if the emperor passed away, these old bones would be buried with him.

However, when the imperial doctors came forward one by one to take the emperor's pulse, the expressions on their faces were one of surprise, solemnity, and suspicion.
