Chapter 1834 Things are changing
Jiechi shook his hands and exhaled.
But immediately, he looked at Yin Yunting and asked worriedly, "Benefactor Yin, has something happened to the Emperor Emeritus? Why is his memorial tablet cracked?"
This is a memorial tablet made by Benefactor Lu himself, how could it crack so easily?
Looking at the two brothers, Yin Yunting thought of their master who was still suppressing some evil spirit, and sighed.
"Something went wrong, but things will be alright."
"Is Benefactor Lu alright?" Sizhen was also a little worried about Lu Zhaoling.
"Senior Sister is alright."
Yin Yunting thought for a moment and then gave them a few careful instructions.
"You should stay in the ancestral temple for now and not go out, but if you find anything unusual about the ancestral temple, go to Huaiyuan immediately."
"Huh? Something's going to happen...?" What happened?
Before he could finish asking about quitting eating, Sizhen gently tugged at him, signaling him not to press the matter further.
“Does Benefactor Yin have urgent business to attend to? Please go ahead. I will take good care of my junior brother. If we notice anything amiss, we will go to Huai Garden.”
Sizhen was a few years older, and it was clear that Yin Yunting's expression wasn't as relaxed as it used to be.
Yin Yunting nodded.
"Yes, I have something to take care of. You all have amulets, so take good care of yourselves."
With that, Yin Yunting left with the Emperor Emeritus's memorial tablet.
After he descended from the underworld, chaos erupted in the palace.
Previously in Qianning Palace, it was Eunuch Qin who woke up first.
When Eunuch Qin woke up, he subconsciously reached for the sachet in his arms. His hands trembled as he took it out and opened it. Inside, the amulet only had a small corner that was slightly charred, but the paper talisman was intact, so it should still be fine.
"May the Princess bless you."
Grandpa Qin covered the amulet, muttered something, and then, as if sensing something, he quickly put the amulet back into his pocket and looked around.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the Fifth Princess's fingers were twitching slightly.
Eunuch Qin's heart pounded wildly.
He had already recognized the Fifth Princess as the Fifth Prince!
This is a huge, earth-shattering secret.
Eunuch Qin looked at the spot where Prince Jin had been before and found that Prince Jin was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that the retired emperor who had appeared was also gone.
He pressed his wildly beating heart and quickly looked for the Emperor.
Seeing the emperor lying there motionless, with many imperial guards and secret guards lying around him, he quickly got up, stumbled over, and struggled to pull the emperor up, then carried him outside.
The Emperor is so heavy!
Grandpa Qin felt like he was about to collapse under the pressure.
He subconsciously turned around and saw that Master Yu's fingers had also moved. Startled, he quickly took a deep breath, grabbed the emperor and dragged him out. During the process, he pinched the emperor and shouted in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, please wake up!"
The emperor felt pain and began to regain some consciousness.
He felt as if he were being half-supported and half-dragged forward, his steps as heavy as if they were made of lead.
But once he regained some consciousness, he wasn't as heavy anymore.
"Your Majesty, please wake up! We need to go out and find someone first..."
Eunuch Qin felt that Master Yu and his sister were not good people, and that the Fifth Prince was also strange.
If the emperor stays there and gets killed, things will become very complicated.
Eunuch Qin thought that the Fifth Prince might try to shift the blame onto the Prince of Jin.
Now that the Prince of Jin has disappeared again, and there's no commotion outside, it means he didn't break out, which makes things even more unclear.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to protect the emperor's safety.
Eunuch Qin pinched the Emperor even harder.
He definitely wouldn't have dared to do it under normal circumstances, but now he really couldn't care less about anything else.
"I... am awake."
The emperor managed to squeeze out a sentence with great difficulty.
He felt a lot of pain in his side.
He has a lot of fat around his waist and abdomen, so pinching him like that hurts a lot.
Once he woke up, he was able to take some steps on his own.
Overjoyed, Eunuch Qin subconsciously turned back to look into the hall, only to see the Fifth Prince slowly sit up, about to turn his head to look outside.
His heart jumped into his throat instantly.
Just then, the Crown Prince, accompanied by a troop of guards, charged towards them with the wind at his back.
When Eunuch Qin saw the Crown Prince, his eyes lit up.
When he saw Aoki following behind the Crown Prince, his heart settled down.
Aoki is Princess Jin's man. Now that he's by the Crown Prince's side, the Crown Prince is protected.
The Crown Prince paused when he saw Eunuch Qin helping the Emperor out.
Seeing the Emperor now, his feelings were truly complicated.
"Your Highness."
Aoki reminded him in a low voice.
The crown prince straightened his expression and made a gesture.
Aoki and the others immediately rushed forward.
"Eunuch Qin, let's hand the Emperor over to us," Qingmu whispered to Eunuch Qin, then gave him a wink.
This is the prince's intention.
Moreover, the Crown Prince is about to make a move.
The palace has begun to change.
Eunuch Qin was a smart man, and he knew very well whose side he should be on at this moment. Moreover, the person who was speaking to him was Aoki.
He immediately stepped aside.
Two guards supported the emperor, one on each side.
Although the emperor was mostly awake, his mind was still foggy. In addition, he had not heard the crown prince's voice, and his head was so heavy that he had not yet lifted it up. He did not think of the crown prince for the time being.
I thought it was other palace guards who had come.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? What happened inside? What can we do for you?"
The guard helped the emperor up and asked another question.
As the Emperor's memories slowly returned, his face turned grim, and he said in a hoarse voice, filled with both anger and fear, "Arrest Master Yu and his sister, and throw them into the Heavenly Prison!"
These two siblings were truly devoted to him.
They and Xiao Wu...
The Emperor then thought of Zhou Ruan and said, "Place Zhou and Zhou Ruan under house arrest for now, and no one is allowed to visit them."
"And, and..."
And then there's Zhou Shiyue. When the Emperor thought of Zhou Shiyue, his mind went blank.
But at that moment, Aoki subtly pressed his pressure point with a tiny finger.
The emperor tilted his head and fell asleep again.
"The Emperor has fainted. Quickly, help him back to his palace," Aoki said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
As they approached, two more groups of people rushed over.
One of the teams was led by Prime Minister Shen.
There was another group, led by an old duke.
They rushed over, and upon seeing this scene, they all stopped in their tracks.
"Your Highness! The Emperor..."
The moment the crown prince raised his eyes, his imposing aura was unleashed.
"The Fifth Princess colluded with evil cultivators, trying to force Father Emperor to abdicate in his favor. Fortunately, Grandfather appeared and stopped their plot. Father Emperor has now fainted."
The Crown Prince already knows that the Fifth Princess is the Fifth Prince.
When Aoki entered the palace to explain the situation, he had roughly guessed some of it. He was certain that Zao would strike first and pin the blame on Zhou Ruan.
