Chapter 556 Elder Wu Apologizes

"How long has it been?" Elder Wu was visibly anxious, he turned his head to ask the little eunuch who was serving beside him, even layers of sweat were dripping from his forehead.

"Elder, it's almost half an hour."

When half an hour is up, the sutras and mantras of the eminent monks will stop.

If by that time, Helian Weiwei still has nothing to do, then he...

no!

He will never tolerate that happening!

At this time, the little eunuch just reminded Elder Wu: "Elder, it seems that the time has come."

Elder Wu suddenly turned his head and looked at him viciously: "Whether the time is up or not, I know it in my heart!"

The little eunuch didn't understand why Elder Wu was so angry, so he quickly shut up in fright.

Wu Chang stared at Helian Weiwei's back.

This is impossible!

There must be a mistake somewhere!

"I have no problem, I seem to have disappointed Elder Wu." Helian Weiwei smiled lightly at him, the corner of her mouth curved like she was hitting Elder Wu's face.

He squeezed it tightly, gritted his teeth and ordered again: "Read it again!"

The eminent monks naturally listened to him, but there would inevitably be pauses in the middle.

This pause made his voice seem particularly high, so everyone looked in his direction.

However, Helian Weiwei raised her eyes and smiled, "Elder Wu, the time has come, and the eminent monks should have finished their bad luck. Elder Wu asked the eminent monks to repeat the sutras over and over again. Pray for blessings, or do you think I am not pleasing to the eye, and insist on accusing me of some crimes?"

"My concubine is right." Nangong Lie walked in slowly from the outside: "Elder Wu's doing this really made people doubt your purpose. You didn't tell us about the ritual hall for exorcism and decontamination in the palace. Instead, you have to bother the eminent monks outside the palace, Elder Wu, what you do is against the rules."

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Baili Jiajue, which meant nothing more than to say, you see, Master Ben came in time according to your instructions, right?

Baili Jiajue's expression didn't change at all, his profile was indifferent, and his eyes were extremely cold.

He also took a look at Nangong Lie, but that look was much darker than Nangong Lie, and he had to express it in words.

That's only six words.

Play him to death for this hall!

Looking at his eyes, Nangong Lie swallowed his saliva involuntarily, wondering how Elder Wu offended Ah Jue.

To let him issue a death order so simply...

Elder Wu hasn't realized his situation yet, but he knows that inviting an eminent monk into the palace will offend the sacrificial hall, but if Helian Weiwei can reveal her true form under the scriptures, then what method is used will not matter. It doesn't matter anymore.

But he never thought that Helian Weiwei would be fine!

"Your Majesty." Nangong Lie still looks like a noble young master doing his own thing: "If Your Majesty thinks that my sacrificial hall cannot protect the peace in the palace, you can drive my Nangong family out of the capital at any time. There is no need to invite some eminent monks to embarrass the sacrificial hall."

The sacrificial family is very important in the entire mainland of China.

As soon as the emperor heard Nangong Lie's words, he was no longer silent, and his words were full of persuasion: "Ah Lie, you think too much, I see that the sacrificial hall has been working hard day and night for the case these days, and I don't want you to work too hard, so I agreed to Elder Wu's proposal. Moreover, Elder Wu has no other ideas, but he is worried about the unrest in the palace, and he also wants to share my worries."

"Since that's the case, what did Elder Wu find out?" Nangong Lie was full of evil spirits when he stopped there.

Elder Wu didn't speak.

Helian Weiwei stood up and dusted off the thin dust on her body: "Elder Wu didn't find out anything, but he held me tight, saying that I was the one who took the house, and even let the eminent monks have ulterior motives. Recited the spirit spell over and over again."

"Spiritual Curse?" Nangong Lie frowned, turned his head and smiled evilly at Elder Wu: "Elder Wu, I don't study much, so don't lie to me. I've been a priest for so long, and it's the first time I've heard You said that you need to use the soul-calling spell to pray for blessings, do you want to calm down the grievances, or do you want to make the palace even more uneasy? Elder Wu is really courageous to deceive His Majesty so blatantly, isn't he afraid of beheading? ?”

After all, Elder Wu is calm and has experienced many things, so he will not be confused by Nangong Lie's series of questioning.

He turned his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have already reported to Your Majesty the fact that the old minister asked the eminent monk to enter the palace to recite the soul-calling spell, so how can it be considered as deceiving the emperor? Please also ask Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister!"

"Mr. Wu has indeed explained this matter long ago." The emperor has always been in a bad spirit, so he said a few perfunctory words: "Ariel, you are all my subjects, and you are all for the peace of the palace. I know all this. Since Mr. Wu checked If it’s okay after that, it’s naturally the best, so don’t talk about anything else.”

Nangong Lie narrowed his long and narrow eyes like a fox, and there was a slight mockery in the corner of his lowered mouth, and he didn't respond.

But Baili Jiajue spoke slowly: "For the safety of the palace, there must be sufficient evidence. Elder Wu has slandered the concubine of the palace so much, shouldn't he also admit his mistake?"

When he spoke, his posture was no different from usual, he was still tall and tall, with the same authority and nobility.

It's just that Elder Wu felt that kind of absolute overlooking from above.

This is what disgusts him the most!

The emperor looked at Elder Wu, then at Baili Jiajue's cold face and Nangong Lie's dissatisfaction.

I knew that if I didn't make some gestures about this incident, I would never forget it.

The palace was calculating the gains and losses in his mind, and after a change of thought, he pushed Elder Wu out: "Since the matter has come to such an extent, Elder Wu should apologize to them as juniors, it's not a big deal."

"Your Majesty!" In just an instant, Elder Wu's face changed from proud to pale and colorless.

He has been an elder for three generations, and no one here knows his status and prestige in Zhanlong Empire.

Now His Majesty actually asked him to bend down in front of the public to apologize to this junior, Helian Weiwei!

This is more uncomfortable than killing him!

"What?" Helian Weiwei sat on her seat with her legs slightly crossed, leaned back, and said in a leisurely posture, "Wu Chang always wants to resist the edict?"

"Old Wu." The emperor urged again, his voice obviously lower than last time.

Elder Wu snatched the tea from the little eunuch, took a deep breath, and when he walked towards Helian Weiwei, the muscles on his face trembled angrily. get in...
