“Ahhhh!!”
Huiji held his face and screamed. His handsome face was now completely unrecognizable. It seemed as if something was about to burst out from under his skin, sometimes bulging and sometimes concave.
It looks weird, as if it is not a human.
"It really is a demon!"
"monster!"
Everyone present exclaimed in shock when they saw it, and the timid ones were so frightened that a pale yellow liquid flowed out from their bodies.
Marquis Xuanping looked at the old Taoist priest and shouted angrily: "Kill him!"
Those men in black were well-trained and very skilled. When they heard the order, they rushed forward.
The old Taoist priest took out the duster from his lower back and shook it in the air. A cool air immediately stimulated everyone's head, making people feel refreshed and as if they had strength all over their bodies.
Emperor Mingde noticed his condition and immediately ordered: "Capture these traitors! Life or death!"
The imperial guards recovered and responded immediately.
The old Taoist priest stretched out his hands and slapped Huiji's acupuncture points five times in a row. Huiji spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground motionless.
But he was still conscious.
"Prince Xiao! The demise of the Xiao family is God's will. You shouldn't be so stubborn. The reason your two sons were born with heart diseases is because you committed so many sins."
The Taoist's words made Ji Changying's eyes widen suddenly.
Emperor Mingde reacted almost instantly, his eyes widening as he pointed at Zhongli Tao in disbelief:
"Wait! Are you saying that the former crown prince and... Zhongli Tao are the sons of Marquis Xuanping, the former crown prince?!"
When the Crown Princess heard this, she couldn't help but pull Zhongli Tao back.
Zhongli Tao's body swayed, his face turned pale, he pursed his lips tightly and shook his head frantically.
No! He's not! He doesn't want it!
"Bullshit fate! My Xiao family has been kings for generations! I was born to be rich and powerful, to rule the world! But now, thanks to the Zhongli family, I've been forced to wander the streets like a rat, living in hiding all day! I can't even say my own name. I've lived like this for forty years!"
"What have I done wrong? I bear a blood feud, and revenge is my duty!"
"When I'm in power, I'll have everything I want. I can just have a few more children. I don't believe they'll all be sickly!"
Marquis Xuanping said with a sinister expression.
The Taoist smiled and shook his head: "You are destined to have only these two sons. From today on...Alas!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and looked at Emperor Mingde: "My name is Wuyouzi, Your Majesty, you can call me Wuyouzi. I came here today to clean up the mess and to bring peace to the world. Your Majesty, just agree to one condition, and I can handle today's matter single-handedly."
Wuyouzi?
Emperor Mingde felt the name sounded familiar, but that didn't stop him from asking, "What are the conditions?"
Wuyouzi pointed and said, "I want to take these two away!"
The people he was referring to were Xie Siheng and Ji Changying.
"Huh?" Ji Changying looked at him in surprise.
The three members of the Ji family looked at him unkindly: "Old man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I am a good daughter, what do you mean by saying this?"
Zhong Lizhou looked at Xie Siheng, who was still unconscious, with a puzzled look on his face: "I wonder what you want them to do?"
Emperor Mingde's face darkened. "Wuyouzi, if you want to threaten me with this, you're miscalculating! Even without you, today's matter can be resolved."
Judging from the time, those private soldiers in the capital should have been dealt with.
Prince Xuan and Concubine Cui sat on the ground with dejected looks on their faces.
By this point, they already knew that something had gone wrong today and their chances of winning were slim.
The private soldiers in the capital were slow to arrive, and most of the imperial guards who had just recovered were eliminated by Zhonglizhou and his men, while the Black Feather Guards were still watching closely from the side.
In the end, they were defeated in today's matter!
After taking Jiang Qianruo's pulse, Mr. Huang was furious: "You can solve this problem! You can solve these sons of yours, but can you solve the worms and the root of the disease in Junior Sister's body?!"
Emperor Mingde was shocked and speechless.
After the Dragon Shadow Guards, Black Feather Guards and Imperial Guards regained their ability to move, they quickly wiped out most of the people brought by King Xuan and Marquis Jianping.
The old Taoist priest walked to Xie Siheng and tapped him a few times. Xie Siheng seemed to suddenly wake up and gasped for breath.
"I have sealed the poison in your body for the time being, but if you want to completely eradicate it, you need to go with me."
Wuyouzi looked at Xie Siheng with a smile, no malice in his eyes.
Ji Changying looked at him and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Old man, did you stop me on the street last time?"
Wuyouzi looked her up and down with a smile, and said with emotion: "Yes, it is me. I haven't seen you for many years. The princess is indeed outstanding. I am very pleased."
???
"Long years no see?" Ji Changying couldn't help but question.
The last time the two met was just the first time, and it had only been over a month. It couldn't be said that they hadn't seen each other for many years, right?
"I met you once when you were little."
Wuyouzi smiled and glanced at Ji Fengshou and Zhou.
Upon hearing this, Ji Fengshou's eyes widened instantly and he rushed over excitedly: "You are the Taoist priest from back then, right?!"
Wuyouzi nodded with a smile.
Ji Fengshou was so excited that he was at a loss for words: "It turned out to be you! I remember you used to be an immortal with flowing white hair and a beard. Why do you look so... um... ordinary now..."
At the end of his speech, the excitement in Ji Fengshou's eyes faded a little, and he seemed a little uncertain.
Wuyouzi touched his face, flicked his whisk, and looked mysterious: "It's just skin deep, why bother about it!"
·····
Emperor Mingde personally ordered the entire Cui family, led by Prince Xuan and Concubine Cui, to be imprisoned. Zhongli Zhou then cut off Marquis Xuanping's legs on the spot and left them to Xie Siheng.
The person who appeased the ministers in the court now became King Ping.
When Envoy Song and Old Master Huang were helpless against Jiang Qianruo's poisonous insect, Emperor Mingde finally looked at Wuyouzi and said, "I beg you, Taoist priest, to save the Queen's life!"
Emperor Mingde, who never bowed his head, had to bow and salute Wuyouzi at this moment.
Wuyouzi dodged and said quickly: "Although the queen will not be able to wake up for a while, it is okay. I can save her. All you need to do is thank you, Master and the princess, and go to Beiyan with me."
Emperor Mingde frowned: "Reason."
Wuyouzi turned his head and looked directly at Ji Changying. "I know the princess is capable and will not force you, but the Taoist's amulet saved the young prince's life. In addition, the Taoist once said a favor to the princess. If I don't repay the karma, I am afraid that the princess's family will have to pay a greater price in the future."
After saying this, he turned and looked at Emperor Mingde: "As for Prince Xie, it's simple. I was entrusted by someone to take Prince Xie to meet his biological father."
