After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Emperor Yong'an quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard quickly wrapped the jade token in layers of black cloth.

The white light in the imperial study then dimmed.

"This is……?"

Emperor Yongan said in shock.

The commander of the Royal Guards said:

"Your Majesty, this is evidence of a crime obtained by the Shu King's traitorous followers. According to their confession, this is a natural stone found in the mountains of Shu. When struck, it can produce a strong light that can last for several breaths."

Emperor Yong'an's pupils trembled violently.

When the Lord Du'e appeared, wasn't it accompanied by such a sudden burst of strong light?

Now I know that this is actually a magic trick made of a strange gem.

It seems that the so-called miracles of the Lord Du'e are mostly just tricks!

While Emperor Yong'an yearned for the power of the God of Du'e, he was also afraid of her strength and did not like her huge influence among the people.

This discovery immediately surprised and delighted him, and he asked:

"Then was her sudden disappearance also just a trick?"

The commander of the Royal Guards said:

"Your Majesty, according to what the assassin said, it is true, but they don't know how the other party performed this trick."

Emperor Yong'an thought of a very important question:

"Then...her magic medicine that can make people rejuvenate...?"

"It is said that it is just a poison that prematurely overdrafts one's life vitality."

When Emperor Yong'an saw the jade that emitted strong light, he was completely convinced of the authenticity of the file and was filled with fear.

Fortunately, he did not take the ambrosia rashly.

Nor did he go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to ask for the elixir after seeing the immediate effect on the Queen.

Otherwise, he would have fallen into the trap set by the King of Shu!

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in from outside:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Queen has suddenly fainted!"

Thinking of what the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard said about overdrawing vitality in advance, Emperor Yong'an became a little restless.

"Show off in Kunning Palace!"

He wanted to go and see the queen's condition in person.

Two moments later, he finally arrived at Kunning Palace.

Striding into the bedroom, he saw the queen lying soundlessly on the bed.

She looked just as she had been a few days ago, as young as if she was only in her early twenties, with delicate skin and no visible flaws.

Her skin color was not as pink and rosy as before, and both her face and lips were so pale that one could tell she looked sick at a glance.

"what happened?"

Emperor Yong'an pretended to be angry and asked.

Nanny Qin, who was standing beside the Queen, stepped forward and answered:

"Your Majesty, the queen was just taking measurements for clothes when she suddenly fainted without any warning."

These days, after the empress regained her youth, she did not want to disappoint her parents, so she decided to dress herself up nicely, try to regain their favor and get pregnant with the prince.

Who would have thought that before I could receive His Majesty's favor, I would suddenly encounter such a thing.

Emperor Yong'an summoned the imperial physician again, but the doctor said that he could not find any cause of the disease.

Emperor Yong'an was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat again.

Fortunately, he did not take this so-called ambrosia.

Those Shu kings who rebelled deserve to be put to death!

Thinking about how he had urged and begged such a fraudulent charlatan and how he had done all kinds of humble things, Emperor Yong'an wished he could cut the so-called God of Deliverance into pieces immediately!

His face was livid and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi was the first to rush to Kunning Palace upon hearing the news, and what she saw was Emperor Yong'an like this.

She knew that her arrangement had worked perfectly.

Suppressing the pride in her heart, she walked forward with a concerned look on her face.

"Your Majesty, what happened to the Queen?"

Emperor Yong'an didn't want to talk, so Wang Zhong immediately stepped forward and explained.

Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi frowned slightly and looked at Emperor Yong'an with worry in her eyes:

"I don't know who murdered the Queen."

"This man was able to successfully assassinate the Queen. If he has evil intentions towards Your Majesty, Your Majesty would be in great danger!"

Emperor Yong'an's expression eased slightly:

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will find the murderer soon and make sure she dies without a burial place!"

I still need to check.

This is not the result that Imperial Noble Consort Shuyi wanted to see after going to so much trouble to arrange so many things.

So, she said suggestively:

"I believe that Your Majesty will strike the murderer by surprise with lightning speed, leaving her with nowhere to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong'an was indeed moved.

The so-called Lord of Deliverance is said to have some abilities.

The Kunning Palace incident has caused such a big stir. If the other party gets wind of the news and escapes, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to catch him later!

He had to send someone to the Imperial Master's Mansion to capture her before the other party could react.

Only in this way can the Shu King's conspiracy to rebel be exposed to the whole world and the stigma on him be completely cleared.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong'an immediately said loudly:

"Someone, call the commander of the Imperial Guards, Xiao Guangyu!"

Wang Zhong immediately followed the order and left. However, before he reached the door, he was stopped again.

"Wait, don't call Xiao Guangyu, call Meng Binlai!"

He had heard about the past between Su Changshi and Xiao Guangyu from the Imperial Master's Mansion.

His name is Xiao Guangyu. If the commander of the imperial guards who is unable to resist the beauty suddenly loses his mind and informs the Imperial Master's Mansion, letting the person escape, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble?

Two moments later, Meng Bin, deputy commander of the imperial guards, hurried over.

Emperor Yong'an dismissed everyone, took out the military token and ordered:

"The Grand Master poisoned the Queen and must be executed!"

He didn't want to go through any investigation process and directly convicted the God of Du'e.

"Meng Bin, you go to the Shenji Camp immediately, select a thousand musketeers, three cannons, and bring another eight thousand soldiers and horses to the Imperial Master's Mansion to capture the Grand Imperial Master!"

Meng Bin's heart trembled.

The Grand Imperial Master's popularity in the capital has been rising recently.

He originally wanted to hug the thigh of the national teacher, but who could have thought that after such a short time, he would soon become a prisoner!

Wait, the national teacher is a god. He leads people to capture a god. Isn’t this courting death?

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is a deity. If we rashly shout for her to kill, it might provoke her ferocity, which would be bad for you!"

He reminded gently.

Emperor Yong'an sneered disdainfully:

"What immortal? She is just pretending to be a god! Even if she has some tricks, she is just a paper tiger that will be shattered by the guns of the Shenji Camp!"

"It would be fine if she surrendered obediently, but if she resists, she will be killed on the spot!"

Meng Bin finally felt relieved.

Your Majesty suddenly issued this order, he must have known something important.

Well, Your Majesty, if you say that we can defeat the God of Du'e, then there is definitely no problem!

"I obey!"

Meng Bin picked up the military token and rushed out of the palace. He selected several thousand soldiers and marched towards the residence of the Grand Master of the Imperial Court with great momentum.

In just half an hour, all the people had arrived outside the Imperial Master's Mansion and surrounded the huge mansion.

Outside the Imperial Master's Mansion, there were still many carriages from the powerful and wealthy families gathered.

After hearing about the Queen's return to youth, not only the concubines' families, but also the imperial concubines were determined to get the elixir from the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Even those dignitaries who had been waiting to visit the Du'e Shrine after its completion have come back again.

After all, no one knows how much of that magical elixir there is.

If the number is very small, the person at the front will get it, and the people behind will have no chance no matter how devout they are.

Therefore, everyone persevered in thinking of various ways to send gifts to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Even if they were rejected, they did not give up and continued to send gifts with different gifts.

Meng Bin led the Imperial Guards and the Shenji Camp to surround the dignitaries who were caught off guard.
