Chapter 1059 He is lying to you
Xiao Xixi had never heard of the name of Taoist Tian Yan, but as far as she knew, Emperor Sheng Chang was very superstitious and believed in seeking immortality during his lifetime. He even once firmly believed that there was a secret method of immortality in this world. For this reason, he recruited a group of Taoists to help him search for the secret recipe of immortality. He had caused many absurd things, and the former dynasty and the harem were in chaos because of him.
After Emperor Sheng Chang passed away, the first thing Emperor Sheng Yong did after he ascended the throne was to settle old accounts.
He ordered his men to arrest all those Taoists who were pretending to be gods and to dismember them!
Logically speaking, all the Taoists should have died, but unexpectedly there was still one who escaped.
Xiao Xixi: "The third question..."
She had just started to speak when she was interrupted by Yu Jiu.
Yu Jiu said with a half-smile.
"I have already answered your two questions, which is enough to show my sincerity. Now it is your turn to show your sincerity.
When doing business, there should be give and take, that's fair, isn't it? "
Xiao Xixi: "That makes sense. Tell me your birth date and I'll tell you your fortune."
Yu Jiu told his birth date without hesitation.
Now it was Xiao Xixi's turn to be a little surprised.
She thought this guy wouldn't feel comfortable telling others his birth date.
Yu Jiu seemed to see what she was thinking and said lazily.
"You already have my blood in your hands. Even if I don't tell you my birth date, you can still find me."
Xiao Xixi wrote down his birth date and eight characters, then closed her eyes and told him her fortune.
After a moment, she opened her eyes, and the look she gave Yu Jiu became a little strange.
Yu Jiu: "What did you figure out?"
Xiao Xixi: "You have half the blood of the Western Regions people in your body.?
Yu Jiu sneered: "Isn't this obvious?"
His facial features are deeper than those of ordinary people, and even his pupils are black with a hint of blue.
Such a distinctive face can easily remind people of the people in the Western Regions with high noses, deep blue eyes and long curly hair.
Xiao Xixi ignored his sarcasm and continued speaking.
"Your mother is dead."
Yu Jiu said disdainfully: "I already knew this."
Xiao Xixi: "What you don't know is that your biological father is still alive."
Yu Jiu was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"How is this possible? My stepfather clearly said that my parents are dead."
Xiao Xixi: "He is lying to you."
Yu Jiu wanted to say no, but he soon remembered the character of his adoptive father. His adoptive father was a man who would do anything to achieve his goals. If lying could bring him benefits, he could immediately make up hundreds of different lies.
Just look at those believers who were fooled by him and are completely lost.
Yu Jiu: "Where is my biological father?"
Xiao Xixi said, "I haven't finished asking my three questions yet."
Yu Jiu: "What is your third question?"
Xiao Xixi: "Where is the leader of Tianmen?"
Yu Jiu closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Obviously, this question was one he could not answer.
Xiao Xixi was actually very anxious, but she knew that haste would not get you anywhere, especially when facing someone with a strange temperament like Yu Jiu, she had to be even more cautious and careful, and absolutely could not let him take the initiative.
She said it calmly.
"You can think about it carefully. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the leader of Tianmen, I can let you meet your biological father."
Yu Jiu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
He was just taken away like that.
…
After the cabinet ministers asked someone to deliver the plaque to the palace, they waited for the emperor to summon them.
However, after waiting for a day and a night, no one came from the palace.
The spies they sent to investigate the White Tiger Camp and the Vermillion Bird Camp came back one after another, bringing back shocking news -
Youmen County was captured by the rebels!
The reason why the White Tiger Camp and the Vermillion Bird Camp suddenly left the capital was to quell the rebellion.
This news was like a bomb, exploding suddenly in the minds of the cabinet ministers.
They were all very frightened.
When they came to their senses, their first reaction was to go to the palace to ask to see the emperor.
Such a big thing has happened, even if the emperor is in seclusion, they must see the emperor!
It was already dark and the palace gates were closed.
However, the cabinet ministers were unwilling to wait even for one more night, so they changed into their official uniforms and went to the palace in person.
They were stopped at the palace gate.
The guards said solemnly: "No one is allowed to enter the palace without the emperor's summons!"
The cabinet ministers were reluctant to leave, so they gathered at the palace gate and asked the guards to help convey a message to the emperor.
The matter of suppressing the rebellion is urgent, they must see the emperor tonight!
Inside Yunxiu Palace.
Xiao Xixi hasn't slept yet.
She sat on the low couch beside the bed, staring at the sleeping Luo Qinghan in a daze.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Eunuch Chang's voice came in through the door.
"Your Highness, General Zhao is here."
Xiao Xixi: "Let him in."
"Yes."
After a moment, the door was pushed open and Zhao Xian strode in, his silver light armor emitting a cold luster.
He greeted the imperial concubine through a screen.
"This humble general pays respect to the Imperial Concubine."
Xiao Xixi: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xian: "Five ministers gathered outside the palace gates, requesting to see the emperor."
Xiao Xixi: "Did they know something?"
Zhao Xian answered truthfully: "They have already found out that Youmen County was captured by the rebels."
Xiao Xixi was not surprised by this result.
Those who can enter the cabinet are second to none in terms of scheming and connections.
As long as they are determined, it would not be difficult to find out that Youmen County was captured.
Xiao Xixi took a deep breath and said slowly.
“Go tell them that the emperor already knows about the rebellion and ask them to go back first.
The Emperor will personally summon them tomorrow morning, so no matter what happens, we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it."
Zhao Xian was stunned.
He couldn't help but raise his head and look through the screen towards where the imperial concubine was.
As far as he knew, the emperor was still in a coma, and the imperial physician had racked his brains but had not been able to find out the cause.
No one knows when the emperor will wake up?
Maybe he will wake up the next moment, but it is also possible that he will never wake up in his life.
But from what the Imperial Concubine said, it seemed that she was sure that the Emperor would wake up tomorrow morning.
Where does she get her confidence from?
Zhao Xian was very curious, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just accepted the order and left silently.
He conveyed the imperial concubine's words to the cabinet ministers.
The cabinet ministers gathered at the palace gate and refused to leave, just to get definite news. Now that they knew they would see the emperor the next morning, there was no need for them to continue pestering and they all left tactfully.
Xiao Xixi walked out of the room.
The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the door greeted her one after another.
Xiao Xixi glanced at them and said, "Go ahead and do your own thing. We don't need anyone to serve us here."
"Yes."
These people left obediently.
