The Return of the Demon

Chapter 112 After Drinking Tea, Get Out!

Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan with urgent and worried eyes and wanted to laugh.

"Your Majesty, we've all taken the poison... Those things are nothing to worry about, right?"

Emperor Xuan probably understood... His face turned pale, his stomach was churning, and he felt like vomiting.

What followed was endless anger.

How dare these bitches feed him shit and urine.

The more Emperor Xuan thought about it, the more disgusted he felt, and the murderous intention in his heart became stronger.

But he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked:

"Ning Chen, is there a possibility? The pills they gave me didn't contain the things you mentioned."

Impossible, absolutely impossible... Ning Chen said in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it actually doesn't matter... Those things are originally medicine. Master Geng and Commander Nie also took them. Look at them jumping around, how happy they are."

Emperor Xuan was silent!

happy?

Why did he see Geng Jingdu about to spit out bile?

"Your Majesty, you have also given pills to civil and military officials, right?"

Emperor Xuan nodded. He had rewarded many meritorious ministers with elixirs.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Then everyone has eaten, no one should laugh at anyone?"

The corners of Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched slightly.

If this matter is known to the historians and recorded in the history books... During the Rende period of Daxuan, Emperor Xuan led all civil and military officials to eat shit and drink urine, then he, the emperor, would become the biggest laughing stock of Daxuan for hundreds of years.

If the emperor of the enemy country knew about it, he would think that Daxuan was too poor to afford food.

No, this matter must not be spread.

Fortunately, Ning Chen lowered his voice when he spoke, and only he, Quan Sheng, Geng Jing, and Nie Liang heard it.

Emperor Xuan's expression was serious and he said, "Ning Chen, do you know what to say when you get out?"

"I know!" Ning Chen said with a serious face: "After we go out, I will tell you that Your Majesty did not eat those things on purpose. It is all because of those hateful magicians."

Emperor Xuan's face darkened, "Quansheng, drag him down and kill him!"

Father-in-law Quan had just made tea and was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Ning Chen was startled, His Majesty couldn't take a joke.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Do you know what to say?"

"After I left, I only said that the elixir was poisonous, and I didn't mention a word about it."

Emperor Xuan then showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then motioned to Quan's father-in-law to pass the tea to Ning Chen.

Eunuch Quan came over with a tea cup and said, "Mr. Ning, please have some tea!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Eunuch Quan..."

Ning Chen took it and took a few sips carefully. He had been busy all night and his throat was filled with smoke.

"Ning Chen, do you think those people in Yangdansi really have the guts to plot against me?"

Ning Chen glanced at Emperor Xuan, his eyes were cold and murderous.

It seems that His Majesty is really angry this time.

I'm afraid none of those who raise Dansi will survive.

Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm not familiar with Yangdan Division, so it's hard to say."

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly.

"Is it difficult to say or do you not want to say it?"

"You can rely on a piece of cinnabar ore to think that my elixir is poisonous... I don't believe you don't have any idea?"

"Don't have any scruples, I allow you to speak freely."

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, did that minister really say what he said?"

"explain."

Ning Chen nodded, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, those magicians from the Dan Yang Division must know that the elixir is poisonous, but they are seeking wealth, not death... They don't have the guts to murder your majesty."

"To say the least, even if they have the intention to murder His Majesty, they are just charlatans and magicians who will never see Your Majesty."

"So, how did they meet His Majesty? How did they establish the Pill Raising Department in this palace? And who gave them the courage to give poisonous pills to His Majesty?"

Emperor Xuan's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "Ning Chen, please continue."

Ning Chen said: "I've said everything I want to say! The most important thing now is... whoever recommends these quack magicians to Your Majesty will be suspected of murdering Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan's eyes were cold, and it seemed that he already had the answer in his heart.

"Ning Chen, I want to thank you very much this time!"

Ning Chen felt happy and said hurriedly: "Can I choose the thank you gift by myself?"

Eunuch Quan's face changed drastically and he scolded: "Ning Chen, you are so presumptuous... How dare you make demands of His Majesty?"

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, looked at Ning Chen, and asked with a smile: "Okay, I allow you to make a request."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to show mercy and restore the freedom of Miss Yudie and Miss Nanzhi of Jiaofang Si."

Most of the women in the Jiaofang Division are the family members of prisoners.

He heard Pan Yucheng say that Yudie and Nanzhi were both daughters of prisoners.

If they want to redeem themselves, they have only three ways.

First, if you stay in Jiaofangsi until you are fifty, you will no longer have the ability to cause trouble. After paying a large ransom, you can regain your freedom.

Secondly, if you meet His Majesty and offer amnesty to the whole world, you can redeem yourself by paying a large sum of money.

The third is the pardon from Emperor Xuan himself.

In fact, there is a fourth way, which is to prove that the criminal was wronged and restore his innocence, and his family will naturally be pardoned.

But the third and fourth methods are too difficult.

Emperor Xuan's face darkened little by little when he heard Ning Chen's request.

Originally, he thought that Ning Chen would want gold and silver, and be promoted to a noble position.

Unexpectedly, this worthless thing would intercede for a prisoner's daughter, a brothel girl.

"If I pardon her, do you plan to marry her home?"

Ning Chen's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, do you want to grant me a marriage?"

Emperor Xuan's face turned even more ugly.

I gave you a marriage to a princess, but you don’t want it. You are disgusted with it, but you asked me to give you a brothel girl to marry. Are you okay? Emperor Xuan cursed in his heart.

"Drink your tea and get out of here!"

Emperor Xuan said angrily.

Ning Chen hurriedly asked: "Has your Majesty agreed to my request?"

Emperor Xuan said nothing.

Ning Chen looked up and saw His Majesty's face gloomy and confused... Did he agree or not? It looks like he disagrees.

"His Majesty..."

Before Ning Chen said anything else, he saw Quan's father-in-law gently shaking his head at him, signaling him to stop talking.

Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead.

For such a simple matter, His Majesty only needs to nod his head. Why doesn't he agree?

Ning Chen couldn't figure out His Majesty's thoughts for a while, so he walked over and put the tea cup on the table next to him, leaned over and said, "Then your Majesty, please rest early. I'll take my leave!"

Emperor Xuan glanced at him, "Aren't you so thirsty that your throat is smoking? Why did you drink so little...drink before you get out!"

Ning Chen shook his head, "I won't drink it anymore, it's too bad to drink... It's better than boiled water."

Emperor Xuan frowned, "Ning Chen, are you angry with me?"

"ah?"

Ning Chen looked confused and didn't know what to do.

Eunuch Quan said hurriedly: "Ning Chen, don't talk nonsense...this is tribute tea, the best tea in Daxuan."

Ning Chen looked stunned, "That's it? Your Majesty should really check your own Ministry of Internal Affairs... The tea I drank in the Jiaofang Department was better than this."

Eunuch Quan's expression suddenly changed. Is this guy really not afraid of death? Dare you say that the imperial tea your Majesty drinks is not as good as the tea from the brothel?
