The capital city.
The Imperial City, the Imperial Study.
Emperor Junlan, dressed in brocade robes, sat there and said, "Speak."
An Kesen told Di Junlan about everything that had happened recently, especially the most important event: the massacre of Lin Hexi's entire family of thirty by a mysterious organization.
Upon hearing this, Di Junlan's voice was icy, "Not a single one left?"
"The youngest grandson of Lord Lin is currently at the Regent's Palace. It is said that Yi Liu rescued him when he visited, but he was also seriously injured as a result."
"However, the latest investigation shows that the eldest son of the Lin family is still alive, and may even have been involved in this massacre."
A mysterious organization.
massacre.
"And then there's the matter of the Evil Eye, the abbot of Zhenguo Temple and the Jinling Kingdom..."
"My mother?" The Holy Maiden of Jinling Kingdom?
Ankerson: "Yes, our initial deduction is that those people came for the Evil Eye."
Emperor Junlan: "How is Zhenguo Temple now?"
Ankerson: "The Regent has already arranged for people to guard the area, and nothing has happened so far."
After telling Di Junlan everything, although he was interested in his mother's past, it was all more than twenty years ago. There was no benefit in recalling it now; it would only reopen old wounds and hurt him again... There was no need for that.
The people who have died recently are all people who have come into contact with the Evil Eye.
"You, Prime Minister, have seen the Evil Eye before, haven't you?"
An Kesen nodded. "Besides the Prime Minister, there's also the Prince of Zhenbei. I think those people's next targets might be the Prime Minister and the Prince of Zhenbei."
Di Junlan: "Arrange for people to protect them."
"yes."
"As for the Evil Eye, it's at Zhenguo Temple, right?"
Ankerson: "Yes."
"I'll go to Zhenguo Temple tonight." He wanted to see what was so special about that evil eye.
Ankesen: "It is said that it can amplify people's desires. If the desires are strong, one may be controlled and become insane."
"But there are also rumors that this thing, if in the hands of a great wizard, can bring people who have been dead for a short time back to life."
Emperor Lan scoffed, "I have never believed in ghosts and gods."
Ankesen responded and then didn't continue the conversation. "Your Majesty, these are the memorials I just received from the Regent's Palace. I'll leave them to you tonight."
Emperor Lan: "..."
He just got back! He hasn't even rested yet!
"I intend to make it clear..."
Ankerson interrupted him, "The Regent said he wants to see the revised memorials by tomorrow morning."
Emperor Lan: "..."
Okay.
Since it was Ah Jin who said it, he would just do as she said.
"By the way, have you brought back my homework?"
Ankesen: "We've brought them all back." Don't even think about escaping, Your Majesty. This was an assignment the Regent specially created to train you.
An Kesen is now mostly on Murong Jin's side, but he himself is unwilling to admit it.
After resuming her daily life, Murong Jin did not attend court, and she left all the memorials to Emperor Junlan to handle, while she investigated some matters.
"My lord, I heard from Commander An that His Majesty is going to Zhenguo Temple tonight to see that evil eye."
Murong Jin hummed in response and said nothing more, his face expressionless, as if to say, "Let him look if he wants."
Yi Liu: "..."
Murong Jin touched the black bead on his neck. Yi Liu had never seen this type of bead before, but since his master liked it, he had no doubts. It was just a small bead.
When the abbot saw Emperor Junlan approaching, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Let me take a look at that evil eye."
Abbot: "Yes."
The two entered the Demon Suppression Pavilion. Di Junlan looked at the bead; it was dark and he couldn't see anything strange about it.
The moment he reached out and touched it, the abbot behind him was nearly scared to death.
Di Junlan picked it up and looked at it, but he wasn't tempted or his desires weren't amplified.
What he needs to do now is to transform Dacheng into a prosperous and peaceful community, and then incidentally, to have a romantic relationship with his brother.
Those are the only two ideas I have; I don't have any other thoughts.
"waste."
The abbot was taken aback. "Your Majesty?"
"This is what those people want to fight over?"
"Yes, some people have begun to inquire about the Evil Eye. Zhenguo Temple has already arranged for people to guard it, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Emperor Junlan hummed in agreement, and after putting the item back, he thought to himself, "It's just a useless thing like this; it's fine if it's been taken."
It's just a fancy name; it's all show and no substance.
After Emperor Junlan left, the abbot looked at the evil eye and felt that something was inexplicably wrong with it today.
In the middle of the night, someone launched a sneak attack.
After a long struggle, the abbot finally ordered his men to let go. He shook his head as he watched the shadowy figures leave with their belongings.
Just like the Regent thought, but is it really a good idea to give this evil eye to someone else like this?
If the other party uses it for malicious purposes, Da Cheng may face a new crisis.
...
"Master, someone has attacked Zhenguo Temple. They are assassins, from the Lingjiu Pavilion."
Murong Jin nodded, "The Evil Eye has also been taken away, and no one at Zhenguo Temple was harmed."
"Moreover, this time, in addition to the people from Lingjiu Pavilion, there were also people from Ruijing Sect."
"The main mastermind is still unknown, but it's clear that people from the Lingjiu Pavilion and the Ruijing Sect are working for that person."
Murong Jin: "Continue the investigation. Hide what needs to be hidden, and lay in ambush where necessary."
"yes."
...
"Your Excellency, it's been a long time."
Yi Liu looked at the man, his face expressionless, his eyes sharp. "It has indeed been a long time."
"It's a real shame you weren't involved in this incident."
"Moreover, you've been working for the Regent for so long that you may have forgotten that you are a member of the Spirit Moxibustion Pavilion."
Yi Liu scoffed, "At least I've successfully gotten inside, while you're still here struggling to get orders, aren't you?"
The man was angry and furious, but didn't know how to retort, "You..."
This time, it was the Pavilion Master who notified everyone. The reason why Yi Liu was also there was because he was the one who informed the Spirit Moxibustion Pavilion of the exact location of the Evil Eye.
Looking up at the man, dressed in all black, he wore a ghost mask.
In particular, Yi Liu met the people who were cooperating with Lingjiu Pavilion. Although they were also wearing masks, the aura they gave off was dark and cold.
This is the first time I've met someone like this.
My intuition tells me they won't be easy to deal with.
"The man in black robes: Evil Eye."
Pavilion Master: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Lingjiu Pavilion operates on the principle of doing things for money, so he made a lot of money this time.
Yi Liu saw a familiar figure inside: Jin Jiu.
However, Jinjiu was wearing a mask. Apart from a few people, some people's identities and faces were only known to the Pavilion Master, so they appeared wearing masks.
What intrigued Yi Liu was that Jin Jiu was here.
