Chapter 0889 The Emperor

Emperor Ci was in the prime of life, with the majesty of a royal family, the strength of a soldier, and the arrogance of a Talisman Master. He was indeed worthy of all three. In the records of the Shengfu Dynasty, including the previous dynasties, there are very few emperors who can simultaneously control the imperial power, He achieved military power and talisman power, and was determined to keep these three powers in his hands and pass them on to future generations.

He was sitting on a large chair, with his body slightly tilted, his right elbow resting on the armrest, and his palm resting on his cheek, which made him appear calmer.

Others can only stand ten steps away, even the most favored Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was far inferior to the queen in both appearance and intelligence. She was favored because she gave everything of her life, status, love, honor and disgrace to the Ci Emperor, trusting him and relying on him wholeheartedly. , even worshiping him as a god, making her tremble with excitement every time he goes to bed.

She is like a fish float swaying on the river, proving that there are really big fish taking the bait underwater, proving that power is not illusory, but actually exists.

"The Queen really rebelled, the Queen really rebelled..." Li Fei kept mumbling to herself.

The Ci Emperor felt irritated in his heart. Although Li Fei was cute, she had one shortcoming. When a real crisis came, she would only ask for help in a pitiful way, without being able to help at all.

"I had expected this." Cihuang said coldly, showing steely calmness.

"Your Majesty knows things like a god." Concubine Li was sitting on a very short stool, covered by her skirt, as if she were sitting on the ground. She raised her head and looked at the "above" Emperor Ci with admiration and dependence. , "Your Majesty will be able to put down the rebellion soon. Why would the queen be so stupid as to betray your majesty? You are the Shengfu Dynasty. Without your majesty, the people will suffer, and Xijie Kingdom will never be able to recover. What does the queen think? Not only She is not grateful and wants to rebel? Doesn't she understand that without His Majesty, the title of Queen is meaningless? Even as a wife, she shouldn't..."

"The rebellion will be over before dawn." Cihuang said confidently. In front of Concubine Li, he always felt infinite power. This was a state he liked. "The queen was greedy for power, which made her lose her mind.

"Where is she hiding? Your Majesty will definitely be able to capture her alive."

"She escaped from the palace to find her 'secret army'." Emperor Ci sneered, "Then she will join Xin Youtao and Pei Shurong."

"But Your Majesty has already prepared."

"Except for Xin Youtao, all the great Talisman masters have sworn allegiance to me, and more than half of the Baidan great monks have also secretly stated that they will stand on the side of the royal family. The five ministers and their accomplices have been placed under house arrest. The queen will throw herself into a trap no matter where she goes. She made a big mistake, thinking that she could fish in troubled waters if the talisman master was at odds with the monks. I know everything she has done over the years."

"Your Majesty..." Tears of reverence filled Concubine Li's eyes. It was a sign of sincere trust. No matter what the Ci Emperor said, she would believe it without reservation. It was under this situation that she said something that she shouldn't have said. He said, "Could the Queen have been hiding in the palace all this time despite spreading suspicion?"

"Impossible!" Cihuang said sternly. The petite Concubine Li was so frightened that she fell off the stool and actually sat on the ground. Her beautiful face turned pale, as if she was being scolded by the gods. Cihuang was both complacent and a little regretful, so he softened his tone slightly. , "I know the Queen, I can imagine every step of her plan."

"Damn it, I actually doubted His Majesty's judgment..." Li Fei blamed herself with tears in her eyes, but there was a little jealousy in her heart.

"I know her..." Emperor Ci temporarily forgot Concubine Li and concentrated on his own concerns. This is one of the reasons why he likes Concubine Li. In front of Empress Xun, anyone must be alert and ignore her existence. Impossible and wrong.

A eunuch suddenly rushed in. Such a rude move meant that he brought very unexpected news. Emperor Ci couldn't control his body and stood up. The news of Queen Xun's arrest sounded in his ears in advance. If he wasn't so confident, you could tell from the eunuch's panicked look that what he brought was definitely not good news.

"Queen...Queen..." The eunuch was too anxious to speak.

The Ci Emperor was regretting that he had gotten up too hastily, so he deliberately kept his cool and did not speak to urge her. Concubine Li stood up with the help of her personal maid and asked expectantly: "The Queen was caught? Where? Fu Lu Pagoda or Five Elements Camp? Or? Which minister's family is it? Your Majesty is very knowledgeable about things. He has long..."

The eunuch kept shaking his head, "Queen...Queen..."

The door was pushed open again, and a woman came in. She didn't look like a palace maid, and her expression looked even less like it. She glanced wildly, and finally landed on Emperor Ci, and said flatly: "Empress Xun wants to see Emperor Ci.

Emperor Ci vaguely remembered that this woman used to be a maid beside the queen, but he could no longer remember her name. He was hit by this unexpected news, and his whole body was stiff, and he did not react for a long time.

"Who are you? You are lying!" Li Fei said angrily.

Zeng Fu ignored the woman and shrugged, "If the Emperor Ci doesn't say a word, that means permission is given." She turned around and said to the door: "Queen Xun, you can come in."

The eunuch at the door knelt down and backed away.

Cihuang remained motionless, and a female talisman master came out from behind him. This was his last line of defense.

Queen Xun stepped into the room, holding a straw hat in her hand, and looked calmly at her husband, the emperor of the Shengfu Dynasty who she supported with one hand. Li Fei lowered her head, her face flushed with shame, as if she had been caught doing something extremely dirty and revealed herself.

The female talisman master held a piece of paper talisman in each hand, stood in front of Emperor Ci, bowed to Empress Xun, "Your Majesty, please exit this room and wait for your Majesty's summons."

Chaos is an opportunity. After the chaos recedes, some people will be unlucky and others will benefit. She can arouse the suspicion of the emperor and his ministers, leading to chaos in the imperial capital. She can also make the chaos more intense by using the more than a thousand talisman masters and monks who are loyal to her. But as long as Emperor Ci can still issue decrees normally, she will not be able to gain any benefit from this chaos.

There are few masters of sacrificial talismans in the inner courtyard of the palace. Queen Xun has one beside her, and Emperor Ci can summon at least a hundred of them. Without the help of a stronger person, even if she is lucky enough to take Emperor Ci hostage, she will not be able to keep him.

The arrival of Mu Xingqiu finally solved this problem.

The distance from the inner study to Liuyun Palace, where Emperor Ci and Concubine Li were, was no more than a thousand steps. It was guarded by 3,000 soldiers and 500 talisman masters. It was enough to stop a huge army, but it could not stop Mu Xingqiu's attack. Practicing illusion.

Seeing Queen Xun approaching, the soldiers and talisman masters automatically put down their weapons and moved out of the way, as if they had received the most stringent orders. There were many possessed demons among them, but they only resisted for a moment and then retreated in shame. Whether they saw it in person or heard about it, what Queen Xun once did is still deeply imprinted in everyone's mind. Illusion can inspire obedience with just a little provocation.

Facing Mu Xingqiu's first attack, the demon species did not respond and automatically gave up this small position.

Perhaps because standing in front of Emperor Ci, the female talisman master was more resistant to illusions. She stared closely at Queen Xun, the paper talisman in her hand trembling slightly.

There was silence in the room, and the battle was going on quietly.

When Mu Xingqiu raised Wuxu Illusion Technique to the sixth level, the female Talisman Master retreated, her face full of embarrassment and cold sweat dripping from her face, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I..."

The demon species still hasn't taken the bait.

Emperor Ci waved his hand and ordered the female talisman master to shut up, and then said directly to Queen Xun: "No wonder it's tonight. It seems you have found a great supporter."

Cihuang looked at Zeng Fu and took a few glances, "I remembered that you are the woman who comes to the palace once a month. You used to be a Taoist priest from Pangshan."

"I used to live in Pangshan, but I'm not a Taoist priest. I don't even have Taoist roots, and I'm not Queen Xun's 'great supporter'." Zeng Fu corrected.

Emperor Ci turned his eyes and looked at the straw hat in Queen Xun's hand. It was a weird thing that was incompatible with her. "Others, step back." He ordered.

The maids, eunuchs, and female talisman masters immediately obeyed the order and retreated. Only Concubine Li did not move, timidly saying: "Your Majesty..."

The majesty of the Ci Emperor remained, and he snorted coldly. Concubine Li covered her face and ran out. When she passed Empress Xun, she glanced at her and opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't spit out a single word. She ran faster on her feet. .

"So that person is really not dead." Cihuang said. He didn't really believe the rumors that had been circulating these days. Unexpectedly, the one he was least willing to accept turned out to be true. "Show up, I don't have it anymore." Protection.”

"Didn't the Demon Seed remind you beforehand?" Queen Xun took two steps forward. She and Emperor Ci rarely met, but they knew each other better than anyone else. "Or do you refuse to believe the Demon Seed's reminder?"

"I have eliminated the demon species in Wangshan." Emperor Ci's voice began to show anger. The battle at Wangshan was the greatest moment in his life and the strongest foundation of his power, but Queen Xun She has always refused to believe in the demise of the demon species. The only reason is that she did not participate in the war, so she tried her best to belittle the value of this victory.

The magic of the demons is not omnipotent. Emperor Ci was possessed by arrogance and stubbornness. The demons can take advantage of this, but they cannot directly control it like they did in Duanliu City.

"Sit down, Your Majesty. I am not here to kill you, nor am I here to seize power. You and I are both humble beings in this world. In our minds, power is more important than life. In the eyes of others, it is just A ridiculous toy, no different from a stick in a child's hand. Sit down, your fate, and my fate, are not in your own hands."

Emperor Ci's knees slowly bent. The most important reason why he didn't want to see Queen Xun was that she still had a strong influence on him.

The Cihuang fought against this influence with full of anger, resentment and suspicion. Before his butt touched the chair, he stood up again, opened his arms, and a strange black light flashed in his palms, "My Queen, you do not know everything, Mu The same goes for Xingqiu, I have power you can’t imagine!”

The black light suddenly became stronger, and Mu Xingqiu finally noticed the demon's spell, but the source of the spell was not Cihuang, but somewhere above his head.

The master of cultivating demon seeds has arrived?
