The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

The thick smoke in the palace had not yet dissipated, and the mixed smell of blood and burnt things was nauseating.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning fell into the palace walls.

What was illuminated was the devastation and charred ruins everywhere.

The once magnificent Qixiang Palace of the late queen has now almost turned into a scorched earth.

From the palace gate to the rear hall, the entire area collapsed, the golden tiles shattered, and the beams and pillars burned.

The place that was originally decorated with carved beams and painted rafters now looked like a ghost town.

Fortunately, after the queen's death, Qixiang Palace was sealed and few people entered.

So there are minimal casualties.

2 dead and 0 wounded.

One of the corpses was the queen's personal nanny, Nanny Pan.

It is said that even after the palace was sealed, she stayed in it and was unwilling to leave.

The other corpse came in a very unbelievable way.

——Same shackles.

……

But the most tragic thing is the Heavenly Prison.

Small and low cells, narrow and cramped corridors, and entrances and exits that can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

It is simply a paradise for the Black and White Impermanence.

By the time the jailer discovered the fire, it had already engulfed most of the cell.

They rushed into the sea of fire and managed to open several prison doors.

Soon he was choked by the thick smoke and had to crawl out.

No one dared to go in again.

Everyone could only watch the fire.

All I could hear were the screams coming from inside the cell.

Nothing can be done.

So in Tianlao, apart from Qian Peicheng, Jia Mingming and two other "lucky ones".

Total destruction.

The entire palace was filled with an indescribable "barbecue smell".

If you smell it for a long time, it will make you feel nauseous.

The emperor was also very surprised.

He was not moved by the fact that so many people died in the Heavenly Prison, and he didn't even sigh.

But when he saw the bodies in shackles in Qixiang Palace.

He stumbled backwards and fell onto the charred bricks.

Then he turned pale and shouted "There's a ghost".

Eunuch Wang hurriedly supported the emperor. Seeing that the emperor looked unwell, he became worried about his health.

Thinking that Shen Runing had not left yet, he returned to Concubine Zhao's bedroom.

But as soon as the bedroom door opened——

A strong smell of blood hits me in the face!

There were four bodies lying in a disorderly manner on the floor of Concubine Zhao's bedroom.

The emperor's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Eunuch Wang turned pale and quickly called for the imperial physician.

The blood was swirling on the ground, as if it was going to engulf the entire bedroom and the entire palace.

Soon, the head of the Imperial Medical Service arrived in person, bringing two imperial physicians with him to rush to the emperor's aid.

After a night.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Lying on the imperial couch, the emperor's face was as pale as gold paper, his lips were blue, and his breathing was weak.

Under the imperial bed, Eunuch Wang was covered in cold sweat and his palms were wet.

"Summon His Majesty?"

He swallowed, his voice as soft as a mosquito.

Scream? What if His Majesty gets angry and chops off his head?

Don't call? If he delays the morning court session, it's not impossible that His Majesty will be furious and exterminate his entire clan after he wakes up!

Caught in a dilemma, Eunuch Wang knelt and moved closer with a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty...you will have an early court today..."

The head of the Imperial Medical Service and two imperial physicians knelt silently by the side, not daring to breathe.

"His Majesty--"

Suddenly, the emperor on the couch frowned slightly.

"Woo——"

Let out a very low moan.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

The emperor slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were empty and distracted.

A look of shock on his face.

"His Majesty!"

Eunuch Wang knelt down and crawled over in surprise.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake..."

The emperor ignored him, his cracked lips trembled a few times, and he uttered the first words.

"Call Wei Lin...quickly..."

Eunuch Wang responded quickly.

"The slave obeys the order!"

Zhou Hui, the fake Wei Lin, was waiting at the door early.

If you want to put on a show, of course you have to do it in its entirety.

He was dressed particularly formally today. The purple robe made him look very respectable, and he was holding a whisk in his hand.

The robes and whisk were delivered by Luo Mian's shadow guard last night.

I heard it was taken from the real Wei Lin...

Moreover, there was one thing Zhou Hui was not going to tell anyone, including Li Fan.

—In the inner pocket of his purple vestment, there was a five-hundred-liang silver note…

Weekly return:?(′▽｀)

"Master Wei..."

"Master Wei!"

"Master Wei Lin——!"

Zhou Hui, kneeling on the ground, was concentrating on thinking about how to spend the five hundred taels.

So much so that he forgot who Taoist Wei was.

And at this moment in the eyes of Eunuch Wang.

Wei Lin is terrifying.

With his head lowered, eyes closed, and the corners of his mouth raised, he made an inaudible "hehe" sound.

The more Eunuch Wang looked, the more frightened he became, and his hair stood on end.

Trembling and raising his voice.

"Master Wei!"

Zhou Hui suddenly shuddered and opened his eyes because of the noise, his face full of reluctance.

"you--"

After seeing the terrified face of Eunuch Wang.

“—You’re out!”

Eunuch Wang: "..."

Tears burst out on the spot.

"Master Wei, hurry up! His Majesty is calling you. The first thing he said when he woke up was to find you!!"

Zhou Hui patted his clothes, flicked his whisk, straightened his back, and looked very serious.

After entering the door, he walked to the emperor's dragon bed with a palace maid leading the way and swaying steps.

The emperor had already sat up, leaning against the brocade couch, his face still as pale as paper, his eyes filled with fear.

"Master Wei... Wei Lin..."

"Tell me."

"If, I say if—"

The emperor's eyes wandered.

"I will use all the women in the palace to offer sacrifices to the heavens."

"Is that right... is that right? There won't be any more evil spirits?"

When Zhou Hui heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Looking up, he met the emperor's dead grey eyes.

It wasn't ordinary fear, it was madness.

Crazy.

In that case, I'll give you a push.

"His Majesty."

Zhou Hui knelt on the ground and tried to keep his tone steady.

"Your Majesty is wise, this method is feasible."

"Sacrificing the blood of all the women in the harem can suppress evil spirits, strengthen the country's destiny, and protect it from all ghosts."

"Tian Yan Yong Ning."

Then he paused.

"The wives of important officials in the court are also permitted."
