Chapter 901: The Imperial Seal Turns Out to be a Fake
Tang Bao really wanted to act like a country bumpkin.
But, it’s difficult!
After all, this is a real palace!
Look at the vermilion palace gate and the big nails on it, shining with cold light. I wonder how many bloody battles it has recorded.
Look at the huge drum next to it.
Is that the legendary Dengwen Drum? I wonder how many grievances have been raised there?
There were also guards standing by the palace gate, holding silver spears and wearing shining armor.
You don’t wear gloves, aren’t your hands cold?
I'm afraid he has already got frostbite?
Tang Bao sighed inwardly, his eyes sweeping over the hands of the guards on both sides.
Sure enough, it was red and swollen like a big fat mushroom...
Or... let's prescribe some medicine for them some other day.
Tang Bao had no idea that her momentary thought would make the guards guarding the palace gate so grateful to her in the future.
The moment she stepped into the palace, Tang Bao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! I entered the palace just like that!"
It’s so easy!
Xuanyuan Jin's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said, "What else?"
Tang Bao laughed, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just a feeling...why am I not scared?"
Isn’t it said that people who enter the palace for the first time are nervous and scared?
Why doesn't she have that feeling?
"There's nothing to be afraid of." A hint of pride flashed in Xuanyuan Jin's eyes.
The little girl entered the palace with him. Could she be bullied?
Tang Bao turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jin, blinking her big eyes with distinct black and white, and said in a sweet voice, "Actually, it's because my brother is here."
Sure enough, this sentence greatly pleased Xuanyuan Jin.
"Yes, my brother is here."
Xuanyuan Jin said this and took Tang Bao's hand again.
Tang Bao discovered that Xuanyuan Jin's eyes and eyebrows were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart: This little brother is so easy to coax!
After sighing, he reflected on himself again.
Oh! I am really a green tea!
Tang Bao, who calls himself "Little Green Tea", looked at the surrounding buildings along the way, with light steps and a face full of curiosity.
As for having to walk with your head down and behave properly when entering the palace without looking around, that is impossible for Tang Bao.
Who could blame it on the little brother next to her who had been actively introducing her to this palace, that hall, this road leading to this place, that road leading to that place...
It was as if he wanted to draw a topographic map of the palace for her.
Eunuch Liu followed behind the two of them, his mouth twitching.
It turns out that the Third Prince can also be so talkative sometimes.
In the imperial study, Emperor Tianxi put down the memorial in his hand after Eunuch Liu left.
He stood up and walked to the bookshelf on the side, and took out a box from a secret compartment.
There are dragon patterns carved on the box, giving it an ancient and heavy feel.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the box in his hand with a serious expression on his face and a frown on his brow.
However, the box was not opened for a long time.
If Eunuch Liu were here, he would definitely know that this box contains the imperial seal.
However, no one knew that this imperial seal was fake!
Emperor Tianxi closed his eyes and put the box back into the secret compartment.
The solemn expression on his face turned into a hint of fatigue.
However, a glimmer of anticipation flashed across his eyes.
I wonder if that little girl Fuya can surprise me again?
"Get ready! Go to the Heavenly Prison!"
Emperor Tianxi said this and strode out.
…
In the innermost cell of the Sky Prison, a disheveled man was imprisoned.
The man was tied to an iron frame, his clothes stained with blood and could be described as rags.
It can be imagined that this man has been severely tortured.
Emperor Tianxi entered the Heavenly Prison and went straight to the door of the innermost cell.
"Open the prison door!" Emperor Tianxi ordered in a majestic voice.
"yes!"
The jailer immediately stepped forward and opened the cell door with the key from his waist.
Suddenly, a strong stench mixed with the smell of mold and blood hit my face.
Emperor Tianxi instinctively held his breath.
Then, he stepped in with gritted teeth.
The man tied to the iron frame raised his eyelids when he heard the noise.
Seeing that bright yellow color, I couldn't help but sneer.
Emperor Tianxi said coldly: "Prince Rui, why don't you tell me?"
It turned out that this person was the Prince Rui who had secretly mined gold and wanted to usurp the throne.
Everyone thought that King Rui had been executed, but that was not the case.
Even the emperor would do such a thing as replacing one thing with another.
After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, Prince Rui showed a mocking expression on his bloodstained face.
"Say? What? You, the emperor of a country, lost the imperial seal?" Prince Rui said sarcastically, "If the world knew that the imperial seal in your hand was fake, I wonder if you would still be able to sit firmly on the throne?"
Emperor Tianxi's face turned pale, and the anger in his heart was rising.
If he hadn't wanted to find out the whereabouts of the imperial seal from Prince Rui, he wouldn't have spared Prince Rui's life until now.
He never imagined that the imperial seal would be stolen by Prince Rui's men.
If something else is lost, you can look for it in a big way.
The only thing heirloom is the imperial seal, which can only be searched for in secret and cannot be made public at all.
Otherwise, the country may be unstable.
"Prince Rui, I will give you one last chance!" Emperor Tianxi said through gritted teeth, "As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the jade seal, I will not kill you!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Prince Rui looked at Emperor Tianxi without a trace of fear on his face. He said, "If I had told you the whereabouts of the imperial seal, you would have killed me long ago! But now, you have no choice but to let me live! Even if you have to torture me, you must send someone to treat my injuries. You can't let me die..."
When Prince Rui finished speaking, his eyes were full of pride as he looked towards Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi looked at Prince Rui with an icy gaze, gritting his teeth and saying, "It seems I've been too lenient with you! I've given you chances time and time again, but you've remained stubborn. So don't blame me for being merciless!"
After Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Xuanyuan Ting, I'm telling you, don't waste your time!" Prince Rui looked at Emperor Tianxi's back with a frantic expression on his face. He shouted, "You can't find it! You'll never find it... Hahaha..."
Because even he didn't know where the real seal was.
When his conspiracy was exposed, he deliberately let his confidant take the seal away and hide it somewhere.
So, he didn't know where the imperial seal was hidden.
With the death of that confidant, no one in this world knows the whereabouts of the imperial seal anymore.
But he won't say it out loud!
As long as he doesn't say it, his life can be saved for one more day.
Even if the emperor wanted to cut him into pieces, he would not dare to actually take his life!
As long as he is still alive, someone might come to save him and he will make a comeback one day!
Emperor Tianxi paused, turned around and looked at Prince Rui, and his mood calmed down.
"Prince Rui, do you think that just because you don't know the whereabouts of the jade seal, I can't find it?" Emperor Tianxi said in a deep voice.
Prince Rui's laughter paused.
He didn't expect that the emperor actually guessed that he didn't know the whereabouts of the imperial seal.
Emperor Tianxi continued, "I am the true emperor, and I have divine help! Someone will find the imperial seal for me!"
After saying this, he ignored King Rui and strode out of the prison.
Prince Rui: “…”
I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered the cave where the gold was hidden.
That cave full of gold was completely taken away overnight...
Who the hell found that cave?!
If Tang Bao heard what King Rui was thinking, she would definitely say something with great grievance.
I didn't mean to do that, I just fell in there accidentally.
