Chapter 1129
After Xu Shan said this, Hua Zishu nodded emphatically.
Shi Qing, lying in a pool of blood, showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
But after making eye contact with the ever-smiling Watts, he instantly concealed it perfectly.
"Jiangnan Prefecture is quite large!"
"Is there a specific location?"
Upon hearing this, Watts shook his head.
Then, with a harmless smile, she pointed to the dying Shi Qing and said, "Presumably, the Princess Consort of Shu can show us the way."
"Ok?"
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan looked in the direction he was pointing.
Then he said, "He's barely hanging on by a thread."
"If we use torture, I'm afraid he won't last long, will he?"
"Young Master Xu, I am a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner skilled in health preservation."
"If the King of Hell wants her to die at midnight, I can keep her alive until dawn!"
"Leave it to me, I can handle it."
After saying that, under Shi Qing's horrified gaze and with her negligible struggles, Hua Cishu took her away.
Watching them leave, Xu Shan said meaningfully, "Everyone in the Divine Mechanism Hub is a talent!"
The capital city, the imperial palace!
Zhu Youwei, who has been extremely sleepy lately, went to bed early after finishing dealing with the memorials.
Hong Gu, who was standing beside her, was resting on a stool with her cheek resting on her fist.
There are palace maids working in shifts both inside and outside the palace, ready to serve at any time!
The first half of the night was silent.
But just after midnight...
"what!"
Zhu Youwei's sudden scream also made Hong Gu jump up and rush over.
As she parted the bed curtains, she saw her empress clutching the top of her head in agony.
Her face contorted in agony, her body curled up in a ball.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Despite Hong Gu's constant calls, Zhu Youwei remained unresponsive, as if trapped in a nightmare.
'Sizzle.'
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please stop using force."
"The top of his head was pierced."
"Quickly, go and call the Heavenly Master. Quickly..."
Seeing Zhu Youwei plunge all ten of her fingers into her head, drawing blood, Hong Gu, completely bewildered and not knowing what evil had possessed her, panicked.
While loudly urging the palace maids to immediately summon the Heavenly Master, Hong Gu even 'overstepped' her bounds and climbed onto the dragon bed, desperately restraining Zhu Youwei's hands.
Don't let it hurt you again.
"Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all things."
"All gods pay homage, and thunder is commanded..."
"Edict!"
'boom. ’
A short while later, the sound of Yuan Tiangang casting a spell could be heard outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Hong Gu and the others inside the house heard a loud, ear-piercing noise outside.
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Then, Yuan Tiangang rushed into the room and, seeing Zhu Youwei's still ferocious and distorted expression, cast the spell again: "Golden light covers her body..."
"Edict!"
'bass.'
With the infusion of golden light, Zhu Youwei, whose body stopped convulsing and twitching and who no longer 'self-harmed', slowly calmed down.
But even as he gasped for breath, he still didn't open his eyes.
His face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
At that moment, sensing something, Yuan Tiangang leaped up and rushed out of the palace.
'Crackle!'
'boom.'
In an instant, everyone saw bursts of sparks flashing across the dark night sky.
Clearly, this is a celestial master engaging in a magical battle with someone from afar.
at the same time……
The Divine Array Master who accompanied him quickly set up a 'talisman array' inside the hall to avoid all external threats.
Yi Zhai, the chief high priest in red robes who was on par with Hua Cishu, was giving Zhu Youwei a boost of energy while also taking her pulse.
After an incense stick had burned, Yuan Tiangang assisted the Grand Array Master in setting up the Soul-Crossing Array both inside and outside.
Immediately, he rushed in.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhai slowly stood up and waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine now."
"It's just that His Majesty's 'soul curse' has been awakened."
"Moreover, they used the 'Soul-Binding Secret Technique'."
"His Majesty's soul thread is firmly held by the mastermind behind the scenes."
'boom.'
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang and the others, including Hong Gu, were immediately in an uproar.
"Soul curse?"
"Are they still using the Soul-Binding Secret Technique?"
"Li Xujiu."
"exist."
"Within a one-mile radius of the palace, dig deep to find the person who did this."
"He must have an altar, he must..."
After stating several objective conditions, Yuan Tiangang said coldly, "Hurry!"
"Yes!"
"Notify Qinglong immediately."
"Let the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate as well."
"As ordered."
After Yuan Tiangang issued his orders, Yi Zhai reminded him, "Master, this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Those who did these things are probably 'puppets' controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Otherwise, with my skill, I wouldn't have been able to untie the 'soul thread' that was binding His Majesty so quickly."
"What I fear is that the true mastermind behind His Majesty's soul thread might personally cast the spell. In that case, we might truly be powerless."
After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang remained silent for a while before looking up and asking, "Is it him?"
After he finished speaking, Yi Zhai nodded emphatically and said, "Besides him, no one can take away His Majesty's soul thread, nor does anyone know the 'Soul Binding Secret Technique'."
The two were exchanging cryptic messages, leaving Hong Gu, who was standing nearby, completely bewildered.
But she also knew that she should never ask questions she shouldn't ask.
"He's awake!"
"But it hasn't fully recovered."
"It seems that the people in Chengdu have caught him red-handed."
"That's what spurred him to make his move tonight."
"It's a provocation, a show of force, and a warning."
As Yuan Tiangang finished muttering these words with a sinister expression, Yi Zhai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Yuan Tianshi, who had keenly noticed these things, immediately pressed on, asking, "Is there anything else that you dare not say?"
"His Majesty……"
"She's pregnant with a dragon's child!"
'Hiss.'
Upon hearing this, Hong Gu and the palace maids standing nearby couldn't help but gasp.
Yuan Tiangang strode over to his beloved disciple and took his pulse.
After several dozen breaths, his face darkened, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, you are confused!"
With Zhu Youwei's strength and background, she could have completely avoided these things.
The only explanation is...
She was deceived by Xu Shan's sweet words and willingly became pregnant with the emperor's child.
"Xu Shan...you bastard, shameless!"
When Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, many people present lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
Are you kidding...
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang was one of the few who could 'humiliate' Xu Bantian, the most powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, in such a way.
The others aren't even worthy!
“Celestial Master, this is very dangerous for His Majesty, who has been awakened by the ‘Soul Curse’.”
Upon hearing Yi Zhai's words, Yuan Tiangang replied, "I know!"
"Someone is coming."
"exist!"
"Activate it. This is the most urgent way to activate the Divine Mechanism. Immediately inform Xu Shan of this."
“Tell him that there is no turning back in this matter.”
"Yes!"
