The best ring

"Yes, Your Highness, I know what to do." Gu Lin nodded.

Now that it has reached the most critical moment, Gu Lin naturally knows the seriousness and importance of the matter, and it is crucial to convince the ministers of the DPRK and China.

While the eldest prince Zhao Xuan and Gu Lin were discussing how to win over the ministers, Eunuch Zhao was happily serving the old emperor. After the old emperor fell asleep, he took a deep look at the old emperor, and then stood in front of the old emperor. The palace was searched.

What he is looking for is the jade seal!

Eunuch Zhao has already established a relationship with the third prince Zhao Lun, and the two parties are already allies. The first thing Zhao Lun asked Eunuch Zhao to do, and the most important thing, is to steal the jade seal, and then fabricate an imperial edict. Make the third prince the crown prince.

Of course, the third prince would not take out this imperial edict easily, but planned to take it out after the old emperor passed away, otherwise, he would be refuted by the old emperor.

Eunuch Zhao was not surprised when he received this task, but he was just a little nervous and stressed.

The third prince's advantage among several princes is not obvious now. If something is not done, the possibility of the crown prince's position or even the final throne falling to the third prince is very small.

Since Eunuch Zhao has decided to join the third prince's camp, he naturally hopes that the third prince will eventually become the prince or even the emperor. Therefore, he did not refuse the third prince's order.

The reason why Eunuch Zhao refused was because he had followed the old emperor for many years, and the majesty of the old emperor had already penetrated into his heart. In his heart, he had a kind of fear for the old emperor. This was a kind of fear that came from the bottom of his heart. The fear could not be removed. Even now that the old emperor was lying on the bed unable to move, he was still full of awe for the old emperor.

But now, not doing anything means waiting for death. Therefore, even though he is very afraid of the old emperor in his heart, Eunuch Zhao has no choice but to do it.

The emperor's palace is naturally very large, but Eunuch Zhao has served the old emperor for many years and is already very familiar with this palace. He knows very well where to hide things.

However, he searched the entire palace and could not find the jade seal, which made him very confused and surprised.

"How come I can't find it? I've searched everywhere." Eunuch Zhao said to himself.

In the past, every time the old emperor wanted to issue an imperial edict, he would dictate it orally and then write it down by the eunuch. After writing, the old emperor would stamp the jade seal himself. After that, the jade seal would be kept by the old emperor. It can be said that from beginning to end, it was The jade seal has never left the old emperor's hand, not even for a moment!

Even after using the jade seal, the old emperor put it away himself without passing it through the hands of anyone else. Even the deeply trusted Eunuch Zhao had never touched the jade seal.

Therefore, Eunuch Zhao only knew that the jade seal was in this palace, but he did not know its specific location.

Eunuch Zhao looked around the palace in confusion, thinking about where the jade seal might be hidden, but he didn't notice that the old emperor had already opened his eyes at some unknown time. Those turbid but murderous eyes were staring at him intently. Looking at him.

Eunuch Zhao subconsciously turned around and looked for the place where the jade seal might be hidden. However, he did not see the place where the jade seal was hidden, but he saw the emperor's eyes.

Suddenly seeing the old emperor's eyes open, Eunuch Zhao was startled. Because of what he had just done, Eunuch Zhao felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at the old emperor. He was deeply afraid that the old emperor would see what he was thinking and served the old emperor. For many years, Eunuch Zhao had known about the old emperor's suspicious and ruthless character.

"Your Majesty, are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Eunuch Zhao quickly gave up looking for the jade seal and came to the bedside, asking with concern on his face.

"What are you doing?" The old emperor looked at Eunuch Zhao expressionlessly and asked.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This old slave can't understand." Eunuch Zhao was shocked when he heard the old emperor's words, and tried to keep calm on his face.

"I ask you, what were you doing just now?!" The old emperor said in a deep voice, "Answer me!"

The majesty of the old emperor radiated out, and his powerful momentum made Eunuch Zhao breathless.

"Old slave...Old slave didn't do anything." Eunuch Zhao said with a slightly panicked expression.

"Didn't do anything?" The old emperor laughed mockingly and said, "Are you really blind?! Tell me, what are you looking for?!"

Eunuch Zhao's face showed even more panic, and the fear of the old emperor deep in his heart showed up again. He stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I really didn't find anything, I was just casual. .....just take a look.”

"Just take a look?" The sarcastic expression on the old emperor's face became even worse: "Eunuch Zhao, you have been following me for many years. Do you think I am so easy to deceive? In your eyes, I am such an incompetent person. person?"

"Old slave...Old slave..." Eunuch Zhao was so nervous that he couldn't speak. He had already seen that the old emperor must have known what he was doing. Thinking of the old emperor's past Eunuch Zhao was very frightened by his acting style.

"Tell me, who ordered you to come!" the old emperor asked.

Eunuch Zhao's face was full of fear at this time, and his body was even trembling. He knew very well how ruthless the old emperor was. Even if he betrayed the third prince, the old emperor might not be able to let him go.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhao's face showed a trace of madness. He suddenly rushed towards the old emperor, strangled the old emperor's neck with both hands, and said loudly: "Old man, go to hell!"

However, even in the face of such a dangerous situation, the old emperor still looked calm. His face was not filled with fear of death, but with a touch of mockery.

When Eunuch Zhao saw the old emperor's expression, he was angry and afraid. At this time, the old emperor was not afraid, which made Eunuch Zhao feel very uneasy. He increased the strength of his hands and wanted to strangle the old emperor to death.

As for the consequences of strangling the old emperor, he no longer considered it. Anyway, as long as the jade seal was found and the third prince took the throne, he would be fine.

On the contrary, if he did not kill the old emperor, he might die here now!

There was still no fear on the old emperor's face, and he even showed no signs of struggling.

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Zhao became more and more afraid, and always felt that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, just when Eunuch Zhao was worried, a strong wind suddenly came from behind his ears, and then, before he could react, he was hit on the back by a palm and flew out.

"Don't kill him!"

The old emperor's voice came again.

However, Eunuch Zhao was not at all happy when he heard this, but was even more frightened.
