The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Just then, a cold, hoarse voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Are you looking for me, the Venerable One?"

The voice was exceptionally cold, sounding inhuman. If an ordinary person heard it, they would feel fear, but Empress Qin's eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Lord of the Shadow Demon, you've arrived?"

A dark figure appeared in my sight. The figure was exceptionally dark, as if the surrounding pitch-black night was brighter than the figure itself.

"What business do you have with me?"

"Lord of the Shadows, I want you to help me get rid of that bastard Luo Qianmo's child. Also, Your Majesty..."

"You're willing to part with that old man?" The Demon Shadow Lord sneered, took a few steps to stand in front of Empress Qin, and looked her down as if to see if this was her true feeling.

Looking at the grotesque blue mask with its ghostly face and fangs before her, even though it wasn't the first time she had seen it, Empress Qin's heart still trembled.

The Demon Lord gives off a terrifying feeling, like a demon from hell.

Yes, this Shadow Lord is none other than the Lord of the Shadow Palace.

When Empress Qin mentioned Luo Qianmo and Emperor Mingde, a flash of hatred quickly crossed the cold eyes of the Demon Shadow Lord.

That hatred was even more chilling and piercing than the hatred in Empress Qin's eyes.

In the darkness, Empress Qin did not notice the strange look in his eyes.

"He is heartless to me, so why should I be loyal to him?" The fear in Empress Qin's heart was quickly replaced by anger: "He is determined to pass the throne to that bastard and constantly suppresses my son and me. If I don't kill him, everything my son and I have will be taken away by him and given to that bastard!"

Only after Emperor Mingde died could the throne truly pass to his son.

No matter who it is, if they stand in the way of her and her child, she will definitely eliminate them!

"Then do you know the price for making me take action?"

"Lord Shadow Demon, if you can eliminate Luo Qianmo and the Emperor, I will offer you one million taels of gold." Empress Qin knew the Lord Shadow Demon's rules, so she said directly.

"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" The Shadow Lord suddenly sneered, making Empress Qin's heart tremble: "Shadow Lord..."

She didn't understand why the Demon Lord would say that. She had asked him for money once before, and it was 500,000 taels of gold for one life. Now that there were two lives, wouldn't that be 1 million taels?

However, in the blink of an eye, Empress Qin realized that although both were lives, how could Consort Wei's life be compared to Emperor Mingde's life?

Consort Wei was nothing more than a vile woman who seduced the monarch, but Emperor Mingde was the emperor who ruled the world.

Therefore, one million taels of gold is indeed a bit too little.

"If you want anything, Lord Demon Shadow, please just say the word. We will give you whatever our son and I have."

"Offer it with both hands?" The Demon Lord suddenly chuckled strangely, "Empress Qin, remember those words."

In the depths of those cold eyes, an almost imperceptible ambition flickered.

Just as Empress Qin was about to speak, she heard the Demon Shadow Lord laugh strangely again: "No, you are no longer Empress Qin. What should I call you?"

Empress Qin's expression darkened. Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in the Shadow Lord's words, she still said, "Shadow Lord, rest assured, I will naturally keep my word."

In her view, what the Demon Lord wanted was nothing more than gold, silver and jewels, and even medicine and women.

Once her son becomes emperor, will these things be lacking?

"That's good." The Demon Shadow Lord chuckled strangely, skillfully opened the secret chamber in the De Rong Palace and walked in, seemingly unaffected by the darkness of the night.

Behind her, Empress Qin's expression took a long time to return to normal.

She knew that this Shadow Lord was a demon, and she knew that she shouldn't associate with demons, but she had no choice. After all, only someone like the Shadow Lord could deal with Luo Qianmo and Emperor Mingde.

This must be the last time she deals with this demon.

Although she said something similar last time.

Three days later, a major event occurred in the palace.

Emperor Mingde, who was attending the morning court session and discussing state affairs with his ministers, suddenly fainted on his dragon throne.

All the imperial physicians thought that Emperor Mingde was overworked, so they gave him medicine and watched him sleep for a day and a night.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Mingde's complexion returned to normal, but he still did not wake up. Eunuch Luo called out to him until his voice became hoarse, but he still could not wake him up.

At this moment, everyone truly panicked. They all realized that something had happened to Emperor Mingde, even though he seemed to be just asleep.

Eunuch Luo was the most panicked. He had served Emperor Mingde for many years and knew very well that even when Emperor Mingde was seriously ill, he would not sleep so soundly. But now, when he was called, Emperor Mingde did not respond at all.

He looked like he was asleep, but he felt as if he were dead.

Suppressing this terrible thought, Eunuch Luo quickly invited several heads of the Imperial Medical Academy over.

During the day that Emperor Mingde was in a coma, a group of princes and princesses, along with other nobles and princes, came to the palace to visit him.

However, there was one exception.

This person was none other than the Eighth Prince, Luo Qianmo.

These past few days, Luo Qianmo has been busy and has not entered the palace, let alone attended the morning court session.

But on the day Emperor Mingde suddenly fainted on the dragon throne, he felt inexplicably restless and uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

This feeling was extremely rare in his more than ten years of life.

Afterwards, upon learning of Emperor Mingde's fainting, Luo Qianmo didn't pay much attention, as he didn't think his bad premonition would come true for Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde was not that important to him.

Therefore, he went to see Fang Qingyou that very day and was relieved to find her safe and sound.

However, after seeing her, the unease and anxiety in my heart did not ease at all; on the contrary, it tended to get worse.

After that, Luo Qianmo inquired about the affairs of all the forces, including all matters under Wu Sha's name.

Without exception, nothing major happened within the faction, let alone anything bad.

Finally, Luo Qianmo forcibly suppressed his irritation and plunged back into his busy work.

This is a crucial moment for him, so time is extremely precious, and he doesn't want to waste a single second.

A day and a night later, before dawn the next day, one of his men reported that Eunuch Luo wanted to see him.

Luo Qianmo didn't care at first. Over the years, every time Eunuch Luo came to him, it was Emperor Mingde who made him enter the palace under various pretexts.

He's too busy to visit unrelated people.

It wasn't until his subordinate brought out something, saying it was presented by Eunuch Luo and that he absolutely had to take a look, that Luo Qianmo's gaze finally changed.
