A piece of Japanese incense

"Don't talk nonsense!" The emperor's lips were tightly pursed, almost forming an invisible straight line.

Old man Li's finger was like a sharp sword pointing to the sky, pointing directly at the emperor: "When the emperor passed away, you kept the news a secret, stopped the court officials from entering the palace to discuss matters, blocked the news from all palace gates and government offices, and even the empress and the prince were not allowed to enter the palace to meet with him. If the emperor had not seen through your ill intentions and written an edict early, demoted me to Wenyuan Pavilion, and hid the jade seal and tiger talisman under the stone tablet, Dongli would probably still be controlled by you, a man who rebelled against Tiangang!"

The emperor laughed out loud: "No wonder my father issued an edict for no reason to expel his personal guards from Xingqing Palace, hahaha! He has been stupid all his life, yet he has such a plan! I have been looking for the jade seal for decades, and it turns out it is in the palace! Hahaha"

The laughter swirled among the towering stone pillars, with a hint of absurdity and unruliness, mixed with unspeakable bitterness. It was as if the burden accumulated over the years was released at this moment.

He suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, holding the back of the chair tightly with both hands, his body trembling more due to the violent laughter, and his eyes flashing with a light that was both crazy and relieved.

As the laughter gradually died down, the emperor covered his chest, as if he had been hit hard by an invisible hammer. He staggered a few steps, his face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like beads from a broken string. Then, he bent over and let out a low, heart-wrenching whimper from his throat.

Feng Zhixu and Eunuch Shen hurried forward to support him. The emperor opened his mouth and a streak of dark red blood flowed out, dripping onto the golden dragon robe and staining the gold bricks under his feet red.

"Grandpa Emperor!" Feng Zhixu exclaimed.

All eyes were on the emperor, and the air was filled with an unprecedented tension.

"Shen Tianliu, you killed your master!" Feng Yuanqiu sneered with glee: "Uncle, don't worry! I can't let you die so easily! You ordered Yun Jingmo to develop the Nine Revolutions Pill, and he gave it to his wife. Then I will let the Nine Revolutions Thousand Gu bloom its toxicity in your body!"

Eunuch Shen's heart tightened, remembering the pill he had fed to His Majesty with his own hands. He immediately took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and threw it hard on the ground.

The emperor's voice was as thin as a thread: "Even if you hold the tiger talisman, how can the Yan family army..."

"General Yan's love for his wife and children is so deep that it is really touching."

"You're talking nonsense! My uncle has never been married, so how could he have a wife or daughter?" Feng Zhixu retorted.

"If a man is not romantic..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish his words, a bell rang loudly.

"Rescue the emperor!" Following Yan Shaoyu's command, the soldiers in the palace rose up to counterattack.

Yan Shaoyu was agile, like a nimble cheetah. He took a step forward and passed over the kneeling rebel. The tip of his gun drew a perfect arc in the air and accurately blocked the sharp blade that was about to chop him.

The spear was like a dragon, knocking away several approaching rebels in succession. In the chaos, he finally rushed to the stage and knelt on one knee at the emperor's feet: "I am guilty! Please let me escort Your Majesty out!"

The soldiers around cleared a path and prepared to escort the emperor to evacuate.

The emperor looked at the situation with a far-sighted gaze and asked, "Where is Yingyi?"

Yan Shaoyu looked ashamed and lowered his head to answer: "My aunt left the palace..."

"Okay! You only have a few thousand people entering the capital. The Yuanren Army has suffered heavy losses in suppressing the rebellion. The situation has been decided. Take Yan'er and Yu'er and leave!"
