The Fourth Prince followed the Grand Steward towards the Imperial Palace, but found that the palace seemed to be heavily guarded today.
But I didn't care much about it. I just thought that maybe because of the recent curse, my father had become a little wary.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the imperial study, and the chief steward respectfully announced: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has arrived."
Stepping into the imperial study, the Fourth Prince saw his father, the Emperor Da Gan, sitting on the dragon throne with a stern expression.
Master Ku Lian, who was beside him, closed his eyes and rested, and found that there was an old man he had never seen before on the side.
He felt a slight chill in his heart, but remained calm. Perhaps it was just another offering from somewhere.
He bowed and said, "Greetings, Father." His voice was so thin and weak that one could tell he was extremely frail.
Emperor Da Gan gripped the armrests of the dragon throne tightly, his eyes sharp as torches as he stared at the prince in front of him who looked almost exactly like himself when he was young.
The Fourth Prince's appearance, temperament, and even ambition all reminded him of himself when he was young.
Therefore, they just turned a blind eye to some of the Fourth Prince's actions, such as his bloodlust.
After all, the ones who died were just some servants. The entire world and the entire Dagan were the assets of their Zhao family. What was the problem with wasting a little?
I didn't expect that this person could be so bold as to collude with the devil and curse his brothers and sisters.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Old Four, after our investigation, this curse might have been caused by the Netherworld Cult.
The Netherworld Cult tried to assassinate the tenth and third brothers, but no one knew what they wanted.
Do you have any information?"
When the Fourth Prince heard this, he didn't expect his father to ask such a question, but he didn't think too much about it. It was naturally impossible for him to admit it.
"Your Majesty, your son, is ignorant of the details. I beg you, Father, to be discerning and lift the curse for my brothers."
The Great Emperor sneered and said, "However, only Old Eighth was not injured by this curse. The Netherworld Cult may be related to him.
I thought about it over and over again, but I still didn't know how to deal with Lao Ba. After all, blood is thicker than water, how could I bring myself to do it?
If he could remove the curse, perhaps he could save a life.
Unfortunately, he is a bit stubborn and unyielding. So, tell me, how should we treat the people from the Netherworld Cult?"
The Fourth Prince did not catch the hidden meaning of the Emperor's words and quickly said, "This matter of mine is actually related to my Eighth Brother.
However, my other brothers have already suffered an unforeseen disaster, and I am unable to understand the situation at the moment. I would like to ask Your Majesty to make the decision."
"Ah." Emperor Dagan nodded slightly, but his eyes became colder. He didn't expect that the Fourth Prince had no intention of repenting.
Emperor Dagan suddenly felt a little sad, as he had seized the throne in the first place.
These people may have such an idea that if they want to avoid all this, they can only enter the realm of heaven and man.
It took five hundred years to prove the legitimacy of his seizure of the throne.
Otherwise, everyone will be staring at this position.
The Fourth Prince in front of him, who looks exactly like him, is his best mirror.
Thinking of this, Emperor Da Gan became even more eager for immortality, and asked the celestial being for five hundred years of life.
When one reaches the realm of being the master of the Dao, there is no obstacle to lifespan. As long as one is not attacked and killed by others, he will live forever.
I can live with Da Gan forever, and no one will be able to question my right to seize the throne.
Facing the Fourth Prince who seemed to have no intention of repenting, Emperor Da Gan sighed and said:
"Old Four, you and I are very similar, not just in appearance, but in other aspects as well."
The Fourth Prince was ecstatic upon hearing this, but he still hadn't figured out what his father meant.
He thought that perhaps this unexpected change had caused Emperor Dagan to want to hand over the position of crown prince to him, so he was very excited.
However, the next words of Emperor Dagan made the Fourth Prince fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
"But you have disappointed me so much. I don't mind your little actions in the mansion.
But today, you used these schemes and these evils on your own brothers.
If you dare to curse your brothers and sisters today, you will raise your butcher knife and point it at my throne tomorrow.
Tell me, what is your relationship with the Netherworld Cult? Why would they help you?
Or are you being used by them?"
The Emperor Da Gan had a cold look in his eyes. Fighting among his own family was the last thing he could accept because it would threaten his position.
The Fourth Prince was still a little unresponsive to this question and immediately said, "Father, this is unfair!
I really don't know who is secretly instigating this, and I know nothing about this curse!
As for the Netherworld Cult, I have never had any contact with them!
If I were in cahoots with the Netherworld Cult, why would I be cursed by them and need Mr. Lu's elixir to wake up?
The Fourth Prince was extremely confused at the moment, not knowing what went wrong.
I clearly didn't know what was coming down, so there was no problem. Whether it was the Netherworld Cult or the curse, I had clearly thought of all the countermeasures.
Is the emperor lying to me?
The Fourth Prince didn't understand. Emperor Da Gan was deceiving him, but not now, but at the moment he took the pill.
As for why the Fourth Prince failed, all we can say is that he was just a chess piece.
In front of Old Man Baihun, he was just a chess piece used to frame the Eighth Prince.
In Zhao Que's hand, it was just one of them, used to investigate the details of the person behind the Netherworld Cult.
Even the death of the Fourth Prince himself would be of no consequence.
