Chapter 610 Acting
They entered the palace. The emperor's stand-in had been waiting in the imperial study. Upon seeing the emperor, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, long live the emperor."
The emperor nodded.
"Get up."
The fake emperor stood up, raised his hand and tore off the mask that was exactly the same as the emperor's, revealing another handsome face with eyebrows that looked exactly like the emperor.
"Tell me about your discoveries these days," asked the emperor.
The stand-in said, "When I was in the palace pretending to be the emperor, Princess Anguo came to the palace every day to ask for an audience, saying that she wanted to pray for the people of Anping."
"Praying for blessings again?" the emperor said. "Why is it that Princess Anguo only has prayers on her mind?"
"I don't know either. I have been pushing this matter aside again and again to avoid being exposed." The stand-in shook his head.
"But every time she comes, she is accompanied by a Taoist priest."
The emperor frowned, "A Taoist priest? What did she bring a Taoist priest with her for?"
"They said they would choose a good day to pray for blessings." The substitute replied, "But I always refused."
The stand-in looked at the sky outside and then said, "This is the time when Princess Anguo will come."
"Princess Anguo requests an audience!"
Just as he finished speaking, the shrill voice of Manager Yu was heard at the door.
The double retreated and hid.
Yaoyao, Xiaohei and the dog put invisibility talismans on their bodies and stood on the emperor's left and right, watching Princess Anguo and Taoist Hu walking towards the door.
In a short period of time, Princess Anguo became stronger than before, and she exuded a reassuring aura.
It seems that this is all obtained by absorbing the luck of those people in the capital.
"Your Highness, long live the emperor." Princess Anguo spoke softly and bent her body slightly.
The emperor's expression was indifferent. "Get up."
"Are you here today to pray for the people of the country?"
Princess Anguo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you can agree to pray for the blessings of the whole country."
Yaoyao tugged at the emperor's sleeve to get him to agree quickly...
This shouldn't be a simple prayer.
The emperor glanced at Yaoyao imperceptibly, and then his eyes fell on Princess Anguo. "Since you are so sincere, I agree."
"What day will you set to pray for the people of the country?"
Princess Anguo looked at Taoist Hu.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." Taoist Hu bowed to the emperor. "The twelfth lunar month is an auspicious time. It's also the time for the La Festival, a festival to honor ancestors and the gods. People across the country pray for a good harvest next year. Princess Anguo's intention is to ask the gods to bless the people and make their wishes come true."
Yaoyao's mouth twitched. Did her wish come true?
There is no such good thing in the world.
I'm afraid you'll die while living.
Princess Anguo is capable of doing anything for the sake of her ability as the daughter of fortune.
"Okay, you can just arrange this matter with the Imperial Master." The Emperor nodded.
"The prince requests an audience."
"The Imperial Master requests an audience."
Just as he finished speaking, the sharp voice of Yu Zongguan was heard again at the door.
Princess Anguo turned to look at the prince with joy and a gentle smile on her face.
He pinched his throat and shouted at Xiao Ci.
"Brother Prince."
The calming aura on his body was stronger than before, and it was obvious that he was releasing this aura towards Xiao Ci.
Xiao Ci had a heart-clearing talisman on him, and he nodded coldly towards Princess Anguo, not even looking at her.................
Dignified, noble and steady.
"See Father."
Imperial Preceptor: "Greetings to the Emperor."
The Emperor looked at Ci'er and Yueyuan and asked, "Have you found out the cause of death of those people?"
"Your Majesty, I found out that those people died in their sleep with satisfied smiles on their faces." Yue Yuan replied.
The emperor showed an expression of astonishment when he heard this, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Died in his sleep? How could such a bizarre thing happen in this world?"
Yue Yuan nodded. "I once encountered something similar in a village when I was out of the palace with the Crown Prince on business. The people in that village also died with satisfied smiles on their faces. The only difference was that the people who died in that village had their internal organs removed, while those who died in the city had their internal organs intact."
"Did you find out what happened later?"
The emperor asked in pretended surprise.
"We've found out that there are two powerful evil spirits in the mountain behind that village. The villagers who died in the village had their internal organs taken out by one of the evil spirits." Yue Yuan replied.
Yaoyao knew about this, but she didn't know whether the young general ghost had found the soul of his beloved.
"I suspect there's a powerful demon in the capital as well."
The Imperial Master glanced casually at Princess Anguo and Taoist Hu, his face full of speculation.
Princess Anguo's heart, which had been high in her heart, fell after hearing what the Imperial Master had just said, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth......................
So what if he’s the national master? He still can’t find out, right?
"Imperial Master, this matter is handed over to you and Princess Anguo. You must catch this powerful evil spirit as soon as possible, otherwise Anping Kingdom will be in chaos." The emperor said to Yue Yuan and Princess Anguo in a serious tone.
"Princess Anguo, you've captured orcs before, so you must be confident about this, right? You're the daughter of Anping's fortune, and the people in the capital will surely feel at ease."
"..........It is my blessing to be able to relieve the emperor's worries." Princess Anguo was stunned for a moment when the emperor suddenly pointed it out, but she quickly reacted.
"However, Princess Pingyao has defeated orcs for the Anping Kingdom and is also a disciple of a hidden sect. I believe that if Princess Pingyao can work with me, she will definitely be able to capture the evil spirit that has become a demon very quickly."
