Chapter 456: Don’t be disrespectful to the gods, or you will die (18)
Dongfang Yin hesitated a little, but finally waved his hand and asked the ministers to leave.
The ministers standing below did not care whether they had anything to report or not. Some ministers whose daughters were concubines in the harem did not care whether they had been frightened last night and they all retreated in a hurry.
They were afraid that they would be used as punching bags. After all, it was not only the concubines in the palace who were frightened, but also the empress dowager and the emperor!
Everyone left, and the only people left in the hall were Li Wu, the emperor, and the eunuch who served the emperor closely.
Li Wu: "Your Majesty, did you know that Concubine Yan was a monster only when she gave birth to a child? You know it yourself, and Concubine Yan may also know it."
Dongfang Yin narrowed his eyes dangerously, and looked at Li Wu, who was standing tall below, with caution: "What do you mean?"
It is not the turn of a Taoist priest to inquire about his affairs, nor is it his turn to judge!
Did he know that he could be sentenced to death for just saying this?
Li Wu said calmly: "Your Majesty, even though Concubine Yan has passed away, her resentment and abilities still exist."
"Not long after you executed Concubine Yan, the aura of a great demon appeared in the cold palace."
"Just two days ago, the sky above the imperial city suddenly changed. This great demon has completely accepted the power of the snake demon and is hiding in the cold palace."
"I heard from the person who reported to you this morning that among the haunted ghosts there is also the concubine who was banished to the cold palace a few years ago. This can be inferred that the ghosts last night all came from the cold palace."
Dongfang Yin understood immediately, because the person who saw Concubine Shu was none other than him.
The ghost of Concubine Shu from last night had disheveled hair, a hideous face, and was wearing a tattered white dress covered in blood. Especially her long tongue, which seemed to want to strangle his neck.
This is completely different from how she looked when she was alive!
Dongfang Yin was half-believing and half-doubting, "You mean, Concubine Yan passed all her power to her son? And her son became a powerful monster?"
He can use the snake demon to reverse the factional situation in the dynasty, and he can also use her son to eliminate the hidden dangers in the country.
If his son with the snake demon turned into a monster with extraordinary abilities, he might as well train him and he could use him as a sharp blade in his hands.
Li Wu smiled contemptuously in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and said to Dongfang Yin: "When the weather suddenly changed two days ago, I discovered that something strange had happened in the cold palace, but when I arrived, the evil spirit had disappeared, and Concubine Yan's son was already lying weakly on the ground."
"I haven't found any demonic aura on him yet. There's only the remaining scent of Concubine Yan on him. I guess the great demon in the cold palace is someone else."
"And this monster has the ability to mobilize all the ghosts in the cold palace."
Dongfang Yin angrily slapped the armrest of the chair again and scolded Li Wu: "How dare you!"
"You saw my prince in trouble, but you just sat there and did nothing, and even allowed the ghosts in the cold palace to cause trouble in the palace! What crime should you be punished for!"
At this time, the emperor had forgotten who had abandoned his son in the cold palace and ignored him, and he also forgot that this situation would not have happened if he had not executed Concubine Yan.
At the moment, he just wants to make Li Wu's life difficult by not letting him discover his son's abilities early on. What if the person with powerful demonic powers is his son?
What if his son deliberately hid his magical powers so that he wouldn't discover them?
If that were the case, he would have lost a chess piece with great demonic power.
This Taoist priest kept calling him "you" and "I" directly, ignoring his authority. He had to punish him!
