Save the tragic villain in progress!

King Jin heard the pass, and took Xuan Yeping into the inner hall.He raised the hem of his robe, knelt on the soft carpet of flowers, bowed his head, and did not dare to look at Emperor Yan, who seemed to have aged decades overnight: "My son pays homage to Father Emperor."

Xuan Yeping kowtowed: "Poverty Xuan Yeping, I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan reluctantly raised his hand, signaling them to be flat, his eyes fell on Xuan Yeping, and he frowned: "King Jin, is this the capable man you brought?"

The king of Jin nodded his head: "Returning to the father, the son heard that the evil spirits in the palace had invaded, and was worried. It happened that the Taoist master Xuan was proficient in this way, so he was brought into the palace to solve the father's worries."

With the support of the old eunuch, Emperor Yan sat up straight from the bed, his eyes were cloudy and old, he stared at Xuan Yeping, with the unique cruelty and indifference of an emperor: "Can you really drive away evil spirits for me?"

Xuan Yeping was so stared at by Emperor Yan that his back felt chills, and he couldn't help but lower his head, looking at his nose and heart, not daring to reveal the tension in his eyes: "The poor Taoist has been watching the sky for a few days and nights. The direction of the palace is full of evil spirits, and the source is His Majesty's bedroom..."

After he finished speaking, he waved the dust in his hand, pointed to the corners of the hall and said: "Those evil spirits are hiding here."

As soon as Xuan Yeping said this, the maids and eunuchs in the palace were startled, and a chill spread directly from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.They looked around nervously, as if something unclean was staring at them secretly.

Emperor Yan didn't know if he was also frightened. He suddenly let out a violent cough in his throat. It took him a long time to catch his breath. He was out of breath and said, "Don't hurry up and cast a spell to exorcise me. If you succeed , gold and silver titles, I will definitely reward you!"

Xuan Yeping touched the stack of yellow papers hidden in his bosom, and felt more at ease.He bowed his head and said to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, please turn away the Buddhist monks who are chanting sutras around. If I am poor, I will cast spells to drive away evil spirits."

As soon as Emperor Yan waved his hand, the old eunuch immediately understood and drove out those Buddhist monks.For a while, only a few servants and King Jin were left in the hall.

Zhou Wenchen led troops to guard outside the hall in case of accidents.

Xuanye has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he still knows some tricks such as casting spells and chanting scriptures.He waved the dust fly, started to do the exercises by stepping on the Bagua steps in the middle of the hall, closed his eyes and walked quickly, chanting words, but he didn't know what he was chanting.

Every time he walked by, with a wave of his sleeve robe, there was a piece of yellow talisman paper on the door and window.After the [-] circles of Bagua steps are completed, the hall is already packed with stickers.

Xuan Yeping chanted a Taoist name aloud, and then sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, because of the violent movement just now, the back of his clothes was wet with sweat.He closed his eyes and said to Emperor Yan: "There are too many evil spirits in this palace, and they can't hide, so the poor will suppress them here. When night falls, the yin energy is at its worst, and they will show their true colors."

This was what Chu Xinian had told him before he left, and the spell must be cast at night to be effective.

It could be seen that Emperor Yan was not very satisfied.His face was gloomy, and he probably already suspected that Xuan Yeping was a charlatan.Seeing this, the King of Jin knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly spoke out to smooth things over: "Father, I have read in ancient books before that those monsters like to avoid the sun and only come out to wander at night. The Taoist priest has great supernatural powers." People, please ask Father to trust him once."

In the end, Emperor Yan still gave King Jin a bit of a slap in the face: "Forget it, I will wait until nightfall. If there is still no movement, this quack warlock will be directly pulled down and chopped up by me."

King Jin didn't dare to refute, but kept saying yes.

Xuan Yeping quietly sweated for himself in his heart, but remained calm on the face, continuing to sit cross-legged in meditation.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was nightfall.Emperor Yan saw that the sky was getting dark, and the shadows of the trees outside were reflected on the window, like ghosts with twisted figures, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Don't do anything bad in your life, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.

Emperor Yan has done too many bad things, he is more afraid of the coming of the night than those evil spirits.Even if Gong'e holds the lamp and illuminates the hall brightly, it is still difficult to hide the gloom.

Jin Wang was also a little anxious while waiting, he lowered his voice and secretly urged Xuan Yeping: "Master, it's already night, can we start to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits?"

Xuan Yeping slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this, and then got up from the ground.He untied the gourd around his waist, with an unfathomable expression, and said to Emperor Yan and King Jin, "The poor Taoist will cast a spell to make those monsters show their original shape."

After he finished speaking, he opened the mouth of the gourd, and began to walk the daytime gossip steps again.

Xuanyeping stopped in front of the first piece of yellow paper, poured the liquid from the gourd into his palm, and then sprinkled it all over it. In the bright and gloomy candlelight, a silhouette of a man gradually took shape on the yellow paper .

Wearing a long-winged hat and official robes, the only difference is that the man has a white spot in his right eye, like a one-eyed dragon——

It is inevitable to remind people of Qin Daoyan who died in a miserable state a few days ago.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan's pupils contracted suddenly, his breathing was stagnant, his breath was stuck in his chest, his face was livid and ugly.

However, it's not over yet.Xuanyeping turned around, his sleeves fluttered, and he stopped in front of the second piece of yellow paper, sprinkled water and chanted mantras in one go.On the paper, a silhouette of a man in official uniform with missing arms gradually emerged.

Emperor Yan staggered, as if thinking of something, his whole body trembled like chaff.

Feng Qiuping...

That was the prime minister he relied on the most. Later, in order to protect his daughter-in-law from entering the harem as a concubine, he repeatedly violated his words and begged on his knees. Emperor Yan ordered his arms to be cut off, and he was thrown back to the mansion half dead.

Before he knew it, Xuan Yeping came to the third yellow paper, and he pretended to cast spells for a while, and sprinkled water as usual.This time, the appearance of a woman in palace costume gradually emerged on the paper. She was wearing a peacock hairpin with a pearl on her head, but there was a rope hanging around her neck, which seemed weird no matter how she looked.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan suddenly became short of breath, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.He clutched his heart tightly, his face pale as paper.

queen... queen...

That was his first wife.Acquainted when they were young, accompanied by the harem, virtuous and unparalleled, and their mother respected the world.Later, Emperor Yan personally strangled him to death with white silk, and died of exhaustion.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up outside the hall, blowing the yellow paper into the air.The lamp shook twice, and it was dimmed for more than a star and a half in an instant. However, everyone in the hall was stunned by the scene on the yellow paper, and no one dared to relight the lamp.

Xuan Yeping didn't notice Emperor Yan's precarious figure at all, poured the "fairy water" in the gourd into his hand, and continued to scatter on the fourth yellow paper, this time a majestic general with a silver gun appeared on it Looks like a man.It's just that there are several long arrows stuck in the chest, which inevitably looks weird.

Thank you!

It's Xie Bi!

Emperor Yan recognized who was on the yellow paper at a glance.His eyes were tearing apart, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.I just felt a pair of invisible hands strangling his throat tightly, with suffocating despair.

That is Dayan's famous God of War.

Dinghaishenzhen, the cornerstone of protecting the country.

After Xie Bi's death, except for Xie's Jingyuan, no one in the army can stand beside him, and no one can show his glory.

He is the most important subject of Emperor Yan, he is the most loyal subject of Emperor Yan, he is the most feared subject of Emperor Yan, and he is also the subject that Emperor Yan most wants to kill!

With a secret letter from Emperor Yan, Xie Bi was tricked into leading soldiers straight in from outside Tai'an Gate, but he was shot to death by random arrows from the soldiers who had ambushed a long time ago.

He was dressed in silver armor, riding on a horse, staring at Emperor Yan who was standing on the palace wall in a daze and disbelief.Then several feathered arrows pierced through his chest, blood sprayed out, and the silver gun in his hand fell to the ground, and the war god who had guarded Dayan for several years also fell.

Xie Bi did not die on the battlefield, nor in the northwest land that had been guarded for several years, but died in the king's suspicion and frame.

Emperor Yan remembered that scene all his life. When he dreamed back at midnight, his mind was full of Xie Bi's blood-stained eyes.

Once the emperor and courtiers, once Youmeng was frightened.

The cold wind poured into the limbs and bones along the cuffs, Emperor Yan only felt his whole body was cold and stiff, as if he could not move like a dead person.He saw silhouettes of different shapes emerging on the yellow paper in the hall, and couldn't help but think of the horrors of those people before they died. His vision went dark, and he seemed to see countless ghosts coming to claim his life.

"Do not……"

His Adam's apple rolled, and he uttered a word with difficulty.

"Do not……"

Another howling night wind blew into the hall, blowing out most of the lamps and candles.

"Do not……"

Emperor Yan held his heart tightly, bent down slowly, and after a long while, suddenly spit out a big mouthful of black blood, which splashed all over the ground.His face was like gold paper, his figure shook twice, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, the palace maid and eunuch were frightened out of their wits, and rushed forward immediately.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has fainted, send the imperial physician quickly!"

"Quick, quick! Lift Your Majesty to the bed!"

The king of Jin was dumbfounded when he saw this, and immediately pushed aside the crowd and squeezed into the bed, grabbed Emperor Yan's hand and shouted anxiously: "Father! Father! Wake up, Father! Father!"

Zhou Wenchen was guarding outside the hall, his expression changed when he heard the commotion, and he rushed in with his troops, only to see that Emperor Yan had already collapsed on the bed and was unconscious.Only King Jin was crying and shouting beside the bed, while Xuan Yeping sat down on the ground as if his strength had been exhausted, and he was frightened into a fool.

Zhou Wenchen drew his sword angrily, pointing at Xuan Yeping: "How dare you murder Your Majesty!"

Xuan Yeping kept waving his hands and backed away, sweating profusely: "No, no, no! No, no, no! I didn't murder His Majesty! I didn't do anything!"

Zhou Wenchen was a retainer who had followed Emperor Yan for many years. When he saw the humanoid pattern on the yellow paper in the hall, there was nothing he could not understand.

"Come here, take this demon way down and guard it strictly! You must pry his mouth open to see who ordered him to murder His Majesty!"

King Jin's complexion changed immediately when he heard the words, and he couldn't care less about his previous gentle and polite image. He strode forward and asked, "General Zhou, what do you mean by this?!"

Zhou Wenchen was Emperor Yan's retainer, and he only listened to his orders in this life, so the mere King Jin was naturally ignored by him.Zhou Wenchen slowly put the long sword into its sheath, and said word by word: "Your Majesty naturally understands what I mean. If Your Majesty has any wrongdoing, anyone involved today, no matter how high or low, will be killed without mercy!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored King Jin's precarious figure, and ordered Xuan Yeping to be dragged down like a dead dog, and all the idlers were also driven out of the palace, including King Jin of course.

Soon, the news that King Jin brought the demon Tao into the palace to cast spells to murder Emperor Yan spread like wind throughout the capital, from the princes and nobles to the common people.

When Concubine Mei heard the news and hurried over to attend to the illness, she saw King Jin kneeling outside the palace gate kowtowing to plead guilty.The imperial physician gave injections to Emperor Yan inside, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.

Concubine Mei came in such a hurry that even the hairpins were messed up. She pointed at King Jin in surprise and anger: "You bastard! What did you do?!"

Her fingertips trembled violently and were completely cold.After this incident, is it possible for King Jin to succeed to the throne? When Emperor Yan wakes up, it may be a question of whether his life can be saved.

Having shared the same bed for decades, Concubine Mei really knew the character of Emperor Yan very well. If there was someone who endangered his imperial life, there would be no way out.

When the King of Jin saw Concubine Mei, it was as if he had seen the backbone. He even crawled over and hugged her leg: "Mother concubine! Mother concubine! I really didn't cast a spell to murder my father! I really didn't." Hurry up and beg for mercy on behalf of my son!"

Concubine Mei Gui grabbed his shoulders tightly and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Be quiet, why are you making so much noise!"

She has always been gentle and quiet, but her expression suddenly became ferocious, which shocked King Jin, and swallowed the words slowly.His voice was difficult: "Mother Concubine..."

"It's good to kneel outside and plead guilty. Your father won't wake up for a day, and you won't be allowed to get up for a day!"

Concubine Mei gritted her teeth and left such a sentence, then walked into the inner hall with a flick of her sleeves.

At that time, Emperor Yan was already unconscious, and managed to recover a little bit of sanity under the joint efforts of the imperial physician to administer acupuncture.He stared blankly at the bright yellow curtain above his head, and suddenly saw the faces of old people appearing on it, and his expression suddenly panicked: "Come here—"

"come..."

He was so sick that he couldn't even utter a sound, one hand was tightly clutching the edge of the bed, and he was wheezing heavily.

Concubine Mei was eager to step forward, but was pushed away by Emperor Yan.As if knowing what Emperor Yan was thinking, Zhou Wenchen immediately knelt down on one knee and reported back: "My minister has already imprisoned that monster in the sky prison and ordered people to torture him severely. King Jin is kneeling outside the hall to plead guilty. Your Majesty need not worry."

Emperor Yan moved his lips silently, and it took him a while to utter two words from his heart: "Ni, Zi——!"

Concubine Mei burst into tears in an instant: "Your Majesty, Cheng Ze has always been filial. This matter has nothing to do with him. It must be that monster who was ordered to frame him. Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Emperor Yan ignored him, motioned Zhou Wenchen to step forward, and whispered intermittently in his ear: "Preach my will... King Jin is rebellious... Murdering your father... Imprisoned in the mansion... Do not... Do not come out..."

"Shangshu Dong Su of Xuanbing Department...Assistant Minister Luo Yuanqing...and Crown Prince Chenghao...Soldier General Xie Jingyuan enters the palace..."

"Keep the gate of the palace... don't let... don't let someone with a heart... take advantage of it..."

Zhou Wenchen took a deep look at Emperor Yan's dying state, with a complicated expression on his face, and retreated under orders.

Concubine Mei hesitated to speak, but the old eunuch had already received Emperor Yan's signal, walked up to Concubine Mei and declined politely: "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace, there is an old slave here to take care of you, don't worry."

Concubine Mei's face was cloudy when she heard the words, so she forced a smile, said something to trouble her father-in-law, then turned and left.When passing by King Jin, he left a word in a low voice: "Don't act rashly, wait outside the palace for news from the palace!"

If one mistake is made, the whole game is lost.With the presence of Chu Xinian as an intervener, King Jin's advantage in the original work seemed to disappear in an instant.

Xie Jingyuan received the imperial decree to enter the palace tomorrow, and knew that Emperor Yan might die, but he didn't know if entering the palace this time was a blessing or a curse. If the old events of Tai'anmen reappeared, it would be a narrow escape.

Chu Xinian had expected that Emperor Yan would summon them into the palace, one for the crown prince to supervise the country, and the other for the military power in Xie Jingyuan's hands.Seeing Xie Jingyuan frowning and lost in thought, he said: "I will enter the palace with the general."

Xie Jingyuan looked at him subconsciously: "You have no official status, how can you enter the palace?"

Chu Xinian smiled and shook the skin wax box in his hand to change his face: "I will pretend to be a follower and enter the palace with the general."

Xie Jingyuan didn't answer right away, he lowered his head and wiped the Luoyuan sword that hadn't been sheathed for a long time, and said in a low voice: "You know that if Emperor Yan lays an ambush in the palace this time, I will definitely die without life, follow me Going to be implicated.”

Chu Xinian didn't care much: "I used to tell the general's fortune, and everything the general wants will come true, and now the hexagram is still counting."

Xie Jingyuan's ending was written by him, and now he will rewrite it himself.

The night outside was turbulent, and there was a tendency of rain and wind to fill the building, but Chu Xinian had a premonition that all these turmoil would end soon.

Early the next morning, Xie Jingyuan brought Chu Xinian, who had changed his appearance, into the palace together.Walking to the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, only then did I know that Emperor Yan had passed on several civil and military ministers, and now they were all kneeling outside the hall, waiting to be called.

Xie Jingyuan found a place and knelt down, knowing that the people in the hall were already terminally ill and time was running out, a faint sarcasm flashed in his eyes, there was nothing to hide under the scorching sun.

Chu Xinian was dressed in a black attendant robe, knelt down beside him, pressed Xie Jingyuan's hand without a trace, and reminded in a low voice: "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, don't be caught by someone with a heart."

Xie Jingyuan grabbed his hand instead, and snorted: "Is this a trick?"

The prince was late.He is the prince, and he should have knelt in front, but when he turned around, he found that Xie Jingyuan and the others were also there. He walked over and kicked one of the officials on the buttocks, motioning him to get out of the way, and then knelt with Xie Jingyuan shamelessly. Together.

The crown prince was about to say something, but when he got closer, he suddenly found that Xie Jingyuan was holding hands with a little white-faced attendant he didn't know, his eyes widened suddenly, his expression was strange, he pointed at him and stammered: "You... "
