Chapter 308 Good Omen
Crown Prince Ji Man was ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. The East Palace was closed and he was not allowed to see court officials. Only a few aides in the palace tried to find out the news outside. The palace was controlled by the Heavenly Master and the court officials were kept in the dark. He did not get any news that King Zhou was seriously ill.
He was in his mansion, chatting with Shan Gao while waiting for someone from the palace to come and ask him about the big commotion in the East Palace. At the same time, he was thinking about how to respond.
But after waiting for more than half an hour, no one came from the palace, and Ji Man began to feel puzzled.
Shan Gao heard the noise above the palace and jumped up, "The fight has begun!"
Ji Manteng stood up and asked, "What's the fight?"
Shan Gao was about to help, but when he heard Ji Man's words, he stopped and answered him, "My master and the others are from the palace."
Ji Man was a little worried, "There are people left by the Heavenly Master in the palace."
"I'll go and help." Shan Gao said, then he flew into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ji Man stood there, looking in the direction of the palace. It was said that when the Heavenly Master left, he left a lot of people in the palace. The Heavenly Master did not think highly of him, a prince, so she did not pay much attention to him. Only the Yulin Guards were guarding him in the East Palace, and there were no people she left behind. There were only Immortal Wei and Miss Jiang, and it was unknown whether they could be a match for the people left behind by the Heavenly Master.
The staff came over and said, "Prince, should we send someone to the palace to help the two immortals?"
Although Ji Man was also worried, he still shook his head, "When immortals fight, ordinary people like me cannot help."
"You are the crown prince, how can you be an ordinary person?" the staff said hurriedly.
Ji Man sighed, "Same, no difference."
He had just witnessed with his own eyes how two immortals disappeared in front of him, and he had also witnessed how the spiritual pet raised by Miss Jiang took off into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He asked himself that even if he sent out all the forces of the Eastern Palace, they would not be able to help much, and might even cause more trouble.
The staff stopped trying to persuade him. He looked towards the direction of the palace and said worriedly, "It has been half a month. Since the Heavenly Master left, the clouds above the palace have been gathering thicker and thicker. I always feel that this is not a good sign."
He had never dared to say this before.
Ji Man didn't respond. He had noticed it more than a month ago. It had been cloudy over the palace for more than 40 days. He had mentioned it to his father in a memorial, but he didn't know whether his father had not even read it or had read it but ignored it. In short, he didn't reply and didn't see him.
There were flashes of lightning and thunder over the palace, and the rumbling sound was incessant, accompanied by the clattering of swords and the splashing of golden light, and the sound almost shook the whole city.
After about two or three cups of tea, the clouds above the palace seemed to be split apart by something, and the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear sky and bright sunshine.
Looking at the clear sky, it seems as if the haze in people's hearts has been swept away.
Ji Man smiled and said, "The two immortals should have won."
The staff was pleasantly surprised, "If the two immortals really won, that would be great. Your turning point has come, Prince."
Ji Man put away his smile and said, "I have been worried recently. I just hope that my father is safe."
The staff looked at Ji Man and put away their joy, sighing in their hearts, the prince was kind and righteous, but he was too kind and righteous. That was why the East Palace fell into its current predicament. If the two immortals from the Immortal Sect had not taken the initiative to come to them, they would probably have been unable to escape from this predicament.
Now the sky above the palace is clear, which is always a good sign. Perhaps the prince will soon get out of his predicament.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, Fushou, the chief eunuch of King Zhou, came to the East Palace with his men. The gate of the East Palace, which had been closed for more than a month, was opened. Fushou brought the plea of the three dukes and nine ministers, asking the prince to leave the palace and go to the royal palace to discuss important matters with the ministers.
Ji Man looked at Fu Shou, "Eunuch Fu, where is father? Is he okay?"
Fu Shou looked at Ji Man and sighed, "Your Majesty is not well. Please go, Prince! The situation is urgent. You must go quickly. I will talk to you on the way."
Ji Man originally wanted to take a bath and change clothes, but after hearing this, he no longer hesitated and hurriedly followed Fu Shou out of the East Palace.
On the way, the old eunuch Fushou told Ji Man what happened in the palace today. Naturally, he also mentioned that since the Heavenly Master left, the king had only attended court twice, and then he was bedridden and no longer attended court early in the morning.
Ji Man was shocked and angry. "My father has been ill for many days and cannot attend the morning court. Why didn't any of the court officials come to visit my father and deal with this matter?"
The old eunuch was helpless. "The Heavenly Master's people control the palace. Even if I want to pass a message to the outside, I can't pass it. The court officials don't know how to deal with this matter. What's more, the Heavenly Master is very powerful. The three ministers have to retreat. The people she left behind are also very powerful. They can kill people without being seen with a wave of their hands, and the death is miserable. Who dares to do that?"
Ji Man was filled with hatred, "What about father? You said that father is not well now. How bad is he? Can't the imperial physician cure him?"
"The imperial physician couldn't cure it. If he could, he would have done it long ago." The old eunuch said, "Fortunately, the immortals came to the palace today. Although they were young, they were very capable. They killed all the people left by the Heavenly Master. You didn't see it. There were ninety-nine bodies. They were all killed by those two in less than two or three cups of tea. Now the two immortals said that the king can be saved, but it's a bit tricky."
"Why is it so difficult?" Ji Man asked.
"It is said that it is an agreement among the four realms that no realm can interfere in the affairs of the royal families of other realms. Especially in our human realm, if we affect the life span of the emperor, we will affect the fate of the country."
Ji Man fell silent instantly.
As the crown prince, he had been taught by the sages since childhood, learning the strategies of governing the country in order to inherit the throne in the future. As the heir to the throne, he naturally knew the Four Realms Agreement, and even the fate of the royal family in the human realm, which was ruled by the way of heaven. If other realms interfered at will, it would affect the fate of the country. Not only that, those who interfered would also be tainted with cause and effect, which would not be allowed by the way of heaven. The consequences were unpredictable. At the least, it would affect the cultivation, and at the worst, it would be punished by the backlash of heaven.
"The Heavenly Master is from the Feng family. I don't know why she wants to harm the king. I don't know whether she does this for her own personal benefit or the Feng family's intention." Fushou's eyes were red. "I have served the king since I was a child. I have advised the king before. I think the new Heavenly Master is not suitable and is not as kind as the deceased old national master. But the king trusts her very much. I didn't expect that since she left and led the royal army to Yunshan City, the king's health has declined rapidly. The palace is controlled by the people she left behind. The king is unconscious, and I can't do anything..."
Ji Man naturally advised him many times, which angered his father and he was punished to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.
Fu Shou added, "The two immortals who broke into the palace today are different from the Feng family. If the Feng family saves the king, it will not be against the will of heaven. After all, the Feng family protects the mortal world and is recognized by heaven. They have a heavenly duty. In addition to the Heavenly Master, I wonder if we can find someone else from the Feng family to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Ji Man looked at Fu Shou.
Fu Shou took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. "I just can't bear it for the king. He is so young, but... I heard from those two immortals that the king has only seven days left to live..."
Ji Man's heart was as if blocked by a huge rock, and the brief relief he had felt earlier had completely disappeared. "It is said that the Feng family lives in the Great Wilderness Mountain in the northwest. It takes more than a month for a person from the Immortal Sect to go there, not to mention that it would take at least a year or two for mortals like us to arrive. And father, you said he only has seven days now..."
His eyes gradually turned red and tearful, and he clenched his fists, "Father, Father, nothing can happen to him."
