Chapter 395 Investigating Evidence of the Third Prince's Usurpation
However, because the capital city was controlled by the Third Prince, everyone had to be checked when entering or leaving the city.
Therefore, if Xiao Jingchen wanted to avoid alerting the Third Prince, he and his group had no choice but to obediently come down and accept the investigation.
Fortunately, Lin Luoxi remembered that she still had the disguise water; otherwise, given how chaotic the capital was, Xiao Jingchen and his group would have been arrested as soon as they arrived at the city gates.
Disguised, Xiao Jingchen, Xie Hanchuan, and the others successfully entered the city and quickly headed towards their palace.
"Xiao Jingchen, stop right there! If you go back like this, you'll probably be taken into custody too..." Xie Hanchuan saw Xiao Jingchen and the others heading straight back to the Prince's Mansion and hurriedly pulled them back.
"If I don't go back, how can I enter the palace?" Xiao Jingchen must have had tuberculosis before, which made him stupid, because he actually asked Xie Hanchuan such a question.
"Brother, you're walking into a trap, not going to save your father..."
Xie Hanchuan was speechless at Xiao Jingchen's question. He glanced at the passersby and whispered his plan to Xiao Jingchen.
"Xie Hanchuan, how about we let you take over after my father abdicates..." Xiao Jingchen glanced at Xie Hanchuan and suddenly had this idea.
Given his cunning, he certainly wouldn't be able to outmaneuver the court officials, but Xie Hanchuan definitely could.
With Lin Luoxi around, the Crimson Flame Dynasty will definitely get better and better under their management.
"If you say something like that, I'm going home..."
Just kidding, who would want to do that kind of thankless, exhausting work?
He's not stupid; he has money and can live whatever kind of life he wants.
"I was just joking..." Seeing Xie Hanchuan's resistant expression, Xiao Jingchen sighed helplessly.
Finally, following Xie Hanchuan's advice, Xiao Jingchen approached a trusted minister and, under the pretext of visiting the ailing emperor, led Xiao Jingchen and Xie Hanchuan into the palace.
Ji Feng and the others, on the other hand, mobilized Xiao Jingchen's hidden strength and waited for Xiao Jingchen's signal.
Lin Luoxi returned to the mountains and forests, put the white tiger into her spatial storage, briefly showed her face at the mountain villa, checked on the sleeping babies, and then left the spatial storage.
After descending the mountain and entering the city, Lin Luoxi used her influence to begin investigating the Third Prince's crimes.
Once she had the evidence in hand, Lin Luoxi saw the list of the Third Prince's crimes and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
The royal family truly doesn't treat ordinary people like human beings; they've used their power to harm so many people.
This third prince is a complete pervert; he enjoys stealing other people's wives to satisfy his perverse tastes.
Simply put, he has a thing for married women and has done countless bad things in private, like stealing other men's wives.
In order to rescue the old emperor for Xiao Jingchen, Lin Luoxi paid someone to spread evidence of the Third Prince's crimes.
In no time, the entire capital knew about the despicable things the Third Prince had done.
The Third Prince was also overwhelmed with these news, which led him to relax his supervision of the old emperor in the palace, giving Xiao Jingchen an opportunity to find the old emperor.
"Wife, wife..." Just as Lin Luoxi was resting in her own house, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Creak!"
The door opened, revealing Xie Hanchuan's disguised appearance.
"Brother Hanchuan, why aren't you with Xiao Jincheng at this time? How did you get back?" Lin Luoxi glanced at the sky outside; it was still dark and not yet dawn.
"Wife, come with me to the palace. It seems the old emperor has been poisoned." Faced with this important matter, Xie Hanchuan remained clear-headed and pulled Lin Luoxi towards the palace.
"Didn't I give you a panacea? Why didn't you give it to the old emperor?"
Logically speaking, his panacea should be able to cure all poisons in the world, so how could it not cure the poison in the old emperor's body?
“We fed him, but he didn’t wake up. He even vomited a mouthful of foul blood. Xiao Jingchen was so worried that he asked me to come and get you.”
Xie Hanchuan pulled Lin Luoxi along as they sped across the rooftops, all the while whispering an explanation to her.
Upon hearing Xie Hanchuan's words, Lin Luoxi's expression also turned serious.
Following Xie Hanchuan, they flew swiftly across the rooftops of the capital city, heading straight towards the imperial palace.
Xie Hanchuan led Lin Luoxi through the palace, finally stopping at the old emperor's bedroom.
"Luo Xi, you've arrived. Please check on my father..."
Xiao Jingchen, who had been guarding the old emperor, rushed to Lin Luoxi's side upon seeing her and looked at her pleadingly.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Luoxi pushed Xiao Jingchen aside and walked straight to the old emperor's bedside.
"The old emperor has been bewitched."
"Moreover, the Gu worm is located in the old emperor's heart."
"He was lucky. If we had arrived any later, his life essence would have been devoured by the Heart-Eating Gu, and there would have been no way to save him."
Lin Luoxi examined the old emperor and came to this conclusion.
"Poisoned?" Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Xiao Jingchen's face turned terribly grim, and he was also filled with lingering fear.
He was unfilial; knowing that something had happened in the capital, he still delayed returning for so long.
It is clear that his third elder brother had already colluded with people from other ethnic groups.
"Then do you have any way to save my father?" Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Luoxi with hopeful eyes.
"Of course...yes!" Lin Luoxi deliberately teased Xiao Jingchen when she saw him looking at her like that.
"Phew, that's good!" Lin Luoxi did not disappoint Xiao Jingchen, saying that she could remove the curse, and Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Luoxi asked Xiao Jingchen to strip the old emperor of his clothes so that she could see the location of the Gu worms more clearly.
He walked to the old emperor's bedside, reached out and took out a bottle containing spatial spiritual water, smelled it at the old emperor's nose and shook it.
The rich vitality of the spiritual water in the space has a fatal attraction for humans, animals, and even Gu worms.
Lin Luoxi simply waved the bottle containing the spatial spiritual water near the old emperor's nose, and a lump immediately bulged in the old emperor's chest.
The bag could move, slowly crawling towards the old emperor's throat.
Those in the emperor's bedroom saw the lump on the old emperor's chest slowly moving, and everyone was so frightened that they dared not utter a sound, and their breathing became much softer.
The palace was very quiet, for fear of making a sound and scaring that thing back into the old emperor's heart.
Lin Luoxi was afraid that the Heart-Eating Gu would hide again, so she continued to wave the bottle around the old emperor's nose.
The scent of the spiritual water in the space was inhaled into the old emperor's body with his breath, and the Heart-Eating Gu crawled faster and faster.
The old emperor also frowned in pain due to the wriggling of the Heart-Eating Gu.
"Hold him down." Lin Ruoxi saw that the old emperor's body began to tremble violently, so she quickly told Xie Hanchuan and Xiao Jingcheng to hold the old emperor down.
To avoid scaring the Heart-Eating Gu away and attracting it again, which would be much more difficult.
