"Listen, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. She knows more about treating illnesses than you do." Yuan Se turned her head and criticized Consort Yuan, then said to the Ghost Doctor cheerfully: "Hei Li, go and settle this as soon as possible. If you need any help, you can contact Consort Yuan directly."
The Ghost Doctor bowed. "Yes!"
Yuan Se's heavy body crawled up from the recliner. He grinned at the Ghost Doctor and said, "You know why I asked you to send the people from Medicine Valley away first, right?"
"Yes, I won't let the other Holy Venerables know."
"Good, I'll wait for your news. Hurry!" Yuan Se patted the Ghost Doctor's shoulder and left in a flash.
…
In the Kingdom of Qi's palace, the leader of Sky Fire Order Yu Wenyan, the leader of Dark Weapon Sect Bei Xuan, and the leader of Great Hill Sect Three Thousand Li entered the palace together.
Bu Xun, who was pacing outside the palace, suddenly looked up. Seeing the three, he hurried over. "Greetings to the three leaders."
Yu Wenyan said in a low voice, "How is His Majesty?"
Bu Xun squeezed out a smile. "He's just overworked. He'll be fine after a night's rest."
The three leaders looked at each other. This was the third time Emperor Qi's Hao Yuntu had suddenly fainted.
It was understandable. Faced with foreign enemies, coupled with the internal anxiety of the people, and signs of malice, the current Qi Kingdom was like an overburdened ship, bobbing up and down in a perilous situation. It was in danger of sinking at any moment. Trapped from both inside and outside, the pressure on the Vast Cloud Diagram was great, already somewhat unable to bear the burden.
Seeing that the three were about to barge in, Bu Xun subconsciously stopped them.
"Hmm?" Bei Xuan made a stern questioning sound.
Bu Xun hurriedly said, "His Majesty is already resting. We shouldn't disturb him."
Three Thousand Li said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
Bu Xun wanted to say something but hesitated. Eventually, he obediently gave way.
The three leaders barged into the palace, parted the bead curtains, and entered the inner room, walking to Hao Yuntu's bed.
The drowsy Vast Cloud Diagram faintly heard the sound of footsteps. He, whose nerves had always been stretched taut, immediately opened his eyes. Seeing these three people, he hurriedly propped himself up with his arms, which was very strenuous.
Bu Xun hurriedly reached out and helped him lean against the back.
"The three Sect Masters are here." Vast Cloud Diagram tried his best to enunciate his words clearly. He tried his best to pretend to be relaxed and forced a smile on his face.
Yu Wen Yan bent over and grabbed the Vast Cloud Diagram's pulse, casting a spell to check.
The Vast Cloud Diagram could not avoid it. He forced a smile and said, "We are fine, just a little tired."
After the inspection, Yu Wenyan moved aside and said nothing.
Then, Bei Xuan checked it again.
When it was Three Thousand Li's turn to inspect, a loud shout came from outside. "Report! Urgent military report!"
The Vast Cloud Diagram was startled. A military intelligence report came in the middle of the night? He immediately shouted, "Pass!"
Yu Wenyan and the other two retreated to the side for the time being. Bu Xun walked out quickly and returned with a report in his hands. He was obviously hesitant about whether he should hand it over or not.
The Vast Cloud Diagram stretched out his hand and demanded, "Hand it over!"
Bu Xun had no choice but to brace himself and offer it up.
Vast Cloud Diagram, who was leaning on the couch, tore open the report with both hands. After reading the contents of the report, his eyes suddenly glared and he shouted, "Traitor!"
His breathing suddenly quickened, his hands trembled for a while, his eyes rolled back, his head tilted to one side, his hands drooped, and he fainted again.
"Your Majesty!" Bu Xun cried out in alarm.
Three Thousand Li stepped forward and pulled Bu Xun away. After personally inspecting it, he quickly used his arts to sort out Vast Cloud Diagram's aura.
After his breathing was smooth, the slightly opened Vast Cloud Diagram fell into a state of agitation again. "Traitor … Traitor …"
Three Thousand Li tapped Vast Cloud Diagram's neck with one finger, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
Then, he explained to Bu Xun, "Let him sleep peacefully. Otherwise, if he is constantly restless, his body will not be able to take it."
Bu Xun answered, "Yes!"
Three Thousand Li took the report and stood up to read it. Yu Wenyan and Bei Xuan moved closer to read it.
Bu Xun laid the unconscious Vast Cloud Diagram down.
The report said that Great General Gu Yuanda had killed the army supervisor, changed the flag, and raised the flag of Great Jin. He was rebelling!
The 300,000 soldiers who were originally in charge of guarding the country were already charging in the direction of the capital!
"Bastard, what are the cultivators of the three major sects doing?" Three Thousand Li said hatefully.
Bei Xuan said in a deep voice, "Is there even a need to say it? Gu Yuanda dared to rebel. He must have received support from outside. Under the cooperation from inside and outside, I'm afraid the disciples of our three sects are already in danger!"
Yu Wenyan said, "It's useless to say this now. We should think of a way to deal with it."
The three of them turned around one after another and looked at the unconscious Vast Cloud Diagram on the bed. Then, they left the sleeping quarters together.
Under the bright moon, the three of them walked into a pavilion. Bei Xuan suddenly said, "Vast Cloud Diagram is getting old. He's almost seventy years old. Although his body is still healthy, the pressure from inside and outside has already made his body unable to bear the burden. This kind of thing is not something that can be solved with ordinary spirit pills. Now that he's lying down, there's a need for someone to take charge of the complicated internal and external military affairs. Moreover, at this critical juncture, what do you think we should do? "
Yu Wenyan said, "What do you mean?"
Bei Xuan said, "What I mean is that we should replace him. Replace him with a younger one. His body should be able to bear the pressure from inside and outside."
Three Thousand Li said in a deep voice, "Replace him at this time? I'm afraid that the people's hearts will become more agitated and uneasy, making it easier for something to happen. "
Bei Xuan said, "Then what do you think we should do? With his current physical condition, if he were to directly collapse in the imperial court in front of all the civil and military officials, I'm afraid that those wavering minds would immediately make an unfavorable decision. I'm afraid that Jin's strategy of attacking the hearts of the people would be more and more likely to succeed. We can't send all the disciples of the sect to various places in Qi to be officials. Let's not talk about whether they can do it or not. How many people will be removed from the big and small official positions in Qi? Once our people are scattered, the three major sects will immediately be crippled. "
Yu Wenyan sighed, "We shouldn't have hesitated and delayed the matter of the crown prince until now."
Bei Xuan said, "Now is not the time to regret this. The problem is who is qualified."
The three of them were silent for a while. Three Thousand Li suddenly said, "Although Ying Wang Haozhen isn't outstanding, he's calm. He's suitable to hold the fort in this chaotic situation. Moreover, from the way he handled things in the past, there haven't been any problems."
Yu Wenyan said, "Haozhen is a good choice. But don't forget that this is wartime. Military power is the most important!"
Bei Xuan said, "What do you mean?"
Yu Wenyan said, "Now that we're facing foreign enemies, we can only rely on Huyan Wuhen to stabilize the situation. Don't forget that he's His Majesty's relative by marriage. His son is the son-in-law of the Empress! "
Bei Xuan frowned, "You mean to say that you're choosing Jade King Haohong?"
Yu Wenyan said, "If we choose Ying Wang Haozhen, will Haozhen be able to tolerate Haohong in the future? Will Huyan Wuhen not have any concerns? Will he not worry about being punished in the future? Huyan Wuhen has military power in his hands. If we choose his family, at least he won't have to worry about his family's life. Therefore, he won't act recklessly. If we choose Ying Wang Haozhen, it's hard to predict what Huyan Wuhen will do. "
"Also, after Gold King Haoqi rebelled, Jade King Haohong will be the legitimate son. Many court officials are already biased. If we choose Haohong, it'll be justifiable. At least there won't be much opposition in the court. In addition, he has Huyan Wuhen, who has military power behind him. It'll be more stable and he'll be able to obtain the greatest support in Qi. "
"Both of you, at this time, we should strive for stability!"
Three Thousand Li and Bei Xuan pondered for a while and nodded slightly. Then, they left together to find Jade King Haohong.
As for the other princes, at this juncture, because they lacked a strong supporter with military power behind them, their dreams instantly turned into bubbles.
At the entrance of the sleeping quarters, Bu Xun stood there alone, watching the figures of the three sect masters leave. His expression was unusually complicated.
He was the clearest about Haoyun Tu's situation. In order to show that his body was still fine, Haoyun Tu, who had collapsed twice due to internal and external pressure, had even asked to keep it a secret and not let the people of the three major sects examine his body.
In the past, Haoyun Tu had to pretend to sleep with a woman every two or three days to prove that his body was still fine.
But this time, Haoyun Tu collapsed in a conspicuous place in the palace, finally alarming the sect masters of the three major sects.
Seeing the three sect masters leave in a hurry, he didn't know what was going to happen.
Coming back to his senses, Bu Xun waved his hand to summon a staff member and whispered, "Send someone to keep an eye on the sect masters of the three major sects. Everything must be reported in time …"
At the Palace of Jade, the sect masters of the three major sects suddenly arrived at the same time. This surprised the Jade Emperor, Hao Hong, and he hurriedly came out to pay his respects.
The sect masters of the three major sects didn't say much. They threw the rebel army's report in front of Hao Hong and asked him what he was going to do.
Gu Yuanda had actually rebelled? Hao Hong was shocked after reading it, but he was also surprised that the sect masters of the three major sects would come together to ask him about this matter.
Thinking of the secret report from the palace, saying that something seemed to have happened to his father's body today, he immediately guessed something and was secretly excited.
On the surface, he didn't dare to reveal the slightest clue. After some consideration, he carefully replied. The matter of suppressing the rebellion was clearly and logically explained. It might not be able to fool some experienced court officials, but it was more than enough to deal with the sect masters of the three major sects.
After hearing this, the three sect masters didn't express their stance. Yu Wenyan asked, "Will Huyan Wuhen at the frontlines have any objections to the movement of troops here?"
Hao Hong's face immediately became solemn and he said righteously, "How can there be any objections to suppressing the rebellion! The three sect masters can rest assured. The Great General and I are relatives and we often communicate secretly. If the Great General has any objections, I will personally send a message to appease him. Nothing will happen! "
The three sect masters looked at each other and didn't say anything else. They immediately asked Hao Hong to summon the court officials to rush to the Palace of Jade overnight to discuss the matter of suppressing the rebellion. The sect masters of the three major sects wanted to personally support Hao Hong …
Before the sky brightened, the Ying King, Haozhen, who was sleeping with Shao Liu 'er in his arms, was suddenly awakened by a sudden knocking on the door.
Both husband and wife raised their heads. Haozhen shouted, "Who is it?"
Che Buchi's voice came from outside, "Prince, wake up quickly. It's urgent!"
Looking at the sky outside the window, it was still dark. Being awakened at this time, Haozhen immediately realized that something big had happened. He quickly got up, grabbed a coat and put it on.
Once he went out, he saw that Che Buchi from the Great Hill Sect, Gao Jianhou from the Heavenly Fire Order, and Xie Longfei from the Profound Weapon Sect were all there. All of them looked extremely serious.
The three of them didn't care about etiquette and directly pulled Haozhen to the side. Che Buchi said in a deep voice, "Prince, something bad has happened. The three sects have decided to support the Prince of Jade, Hao Hong, to ascend the throne!"
Haozhen's eyes gradually widened.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the Quiet Prince's Residence. A cultivator guard rushed over and reported urgently, "Prince, there's a group of troops outside. They've surrounded the Prince's Residence!"
PS: There are no updates today. I have to deal with some family and personal matters before the New Year, so I'm a little busy. I'll try to pay off my debt from last month and this month's tickets and updates before the New Year. Wutong's Golden Sect Master recruitment might have to wait until after the New Year.
