Chapter 304: Experiencing Many Betrayals Since Childhood
"The Imperial Advisor is infallible! Anyone who opposes the Imperial Advisor is a demon!"
The old emperor protected Jia Daoren.
“I also have that golden light of merit you mentioned,” Xia Mo said, shining the golden beam of light on herself with the laser lamp she had just acquired.
“Jiang Wang also has one,” Xia Mo raised his hand again, and the golden beam of light turned to shine on Huangfu Qian.
Jia Daoren's pupils contracted sharply, his heart skipped a beat, and he kept asking the live streaming system: "Is Xia Mo also a streamer with a live streaming system?! Otherwise, how could she have such miraculous abilities?!"
The live-streaming system in Jia Daoren's mind is loading new features and cannot provide an answer to Jia Daoren at the moment.
Xia Mo then moved her divine sense again, and a golden beam of light shone on the white eunuch beside her: "Look, even Eunuch Bai has the golden light of merit on him."
The old emperor looked at the golden beam of light shining on the white eunuch, glared fiercely at Xia Mo, and demanded, "Why is it shining on me the only time?!"
As summer drew to a close, the yellow beam of light shone in a different spot, this time on a pillar: "Look, there's a pillar now."
She did this on purpose.
It was to tell the old emperor that the golden beam of light could not shine on him, no matter who it was.
The old emperor glared angrily at Xia Mo and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will chop off the heads of your entire family?!"
"Didn't you say I wanted to be empress?" Xia Mo turned to Huangfu Qian and said, "Prince Jiang, I want to be empress."
“Alright,” Huangfu Qian nodded without hesitation, looked at the old emperor, and said, “Will you voluntarily give up your position, or shall I ask you to abdicate?”
The old emperor stared wide-eyed at Huangfu Qian in disbelief. How could his son listen to outsiders?! He believed whatever outsiders said!
"Don't forget, I am your father!" The old emperor was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he found that he could do nothing to Huangfu Qian.
"Seventh Brother, don't go too far!"
Outside the palace, the voice of Imperial Noble Consort Wei could be heard.
Xia Mo stepped forward, standing between Consort Wei and Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian looked at Xia Mo with some confusion. He didn't think Xia Mo's actions were as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Consort Wei glared at Xia Mo and shouted, "Get out of the way! Am I not allowed to see my own son?!"
Xia Mo still stood in front of Huangfu Qian and asked, "Imperial Consort Wei, what are you planning to do with the dagger hidden in your sleeve?"
A look of shock flashed across Consort Wei's eyes. How could Xia Mo know that she had a dagger hidden in her sleeve!
Even the composed Huangfu Qian looked at Consort Wei in disbelief.
Given Xia Mo's height, there was no way to completely block him out. At this moment, he looked at Consort Wei with his eagle eyes in disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Empress Wei realized that the mission had failed and immediately decided to give up for the time being.
“You’re not talking nonsense. Pull your sleeves up a bit, don’t hide your hands in them,” Xia Mo said.
When the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face and there was not a ray of light, Xia Mo used her divine sense to protect the people in the Jiang Prince's mansion, and at the same time, she used her divine sense to scan the situation in the inner palace.
Just then, she saw that the Empress Dowager's live streaming system was giving her a task: to kill Huangfu Qian and help the Fifth Prince, Prince Zhen, ascend to the throne.
Without hesitation, Consort Wei accepted the task.
Xia Mo simply left a wisp of his divine consciousness on Consort Wei.
Then, I saw Consort Wei approach, hiding a dagger in her sleeve.
Imperial Concubine Wei did not believe she would fail.
Although Huangfu Qian didn't particularly like her as his mother, he still acknowledged her as his mother. It wouldn't have been difficult for her to take advantage of Huangfu Qian's inattention and stab him.
Unexpectedly, something so simple was ruined!
"Hmph, who do you think you are?! You actually dare to order me around!" Imperial Concubine Wei would never admit to that.
As long as she doesn't admit it now, she can still get close to Huangfu Qian next time and strike him when he's not betraying her.
Xia Mo didn't turn her head, reached out and patted Huangfu Qian behind her, and walked towards Consort Wei.
"Get out of the way, Your Highness the Imperial Noble Consort! How dare you approach her?!" The trusted nanny beside the Imperial Noble Consort Wei blocked Xia Mo's path.
Xia Mo simply waved his hand and pushed the person away.
Imperial Noble Consort Wei stepped back: "Huangfu Qian, are you dead?! You saw her offending me, and you didn't even stop her?!"
Xia Mo deliberately let Consort Wei see a hallucination, and then let out an "Ah!"
The pampered Imperial Concubine Wei saw the man she had killed suddenly lunge at her. Startled, she reached out and used a dagger hidden in her sleeve to protect herself.
"Ahhh, a ghost!! A ghost!"
Consort Wei felt slightly relieved after placing a dagger between her and Xia Mo.
Xia Mo put away the illusions in Consort Wei's eyes and stepped back to Huangfu Qian's side, allowing Huangfu Qian to see things more clearly.
Huangfu Qian looked at Consort Wei, then at the dagger in her hand, and his hawk-like eyes trembled uncontrollably.
"I know that you love the Fifth Prince more than your other son, but I never expected that you would... choose to kill me!" As he finished speaking, Huangfu Qian's voice, which was usually expressionless, trembled slightly without him even noticing.
Imperial Concubine Wei immediately realized that she had been exposed! The live-streaming system had given her a task that she couldn't complete!
"You are nothing but a demon who has taken my son's body! I will kill you so that I can protect my other son!" Consort Wei said righteously and sternly.
Consort Wei trusted the live streaming system deeply; she genuinely believed it.
"monster?"
Huangfu Qiandu laughed when he heard this, and he actually chuckled twice, unconsciously murmuring the name.
He had experienced many betrayals since childhood. Although Consort Wei did not particularly like him, she still protected him. But now he heard his own birth mother say that he was a demon!
"So you've already been possessed by a demon!" Jia Daoren's eyes flashed, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, I saw it; he is the incarnation of a demon!"
"Help! Help! Help!"
The old emperor believed Jia Daoren and Consort Wei without hesitation.
The imperial guards rushed into the imperial study, not knowing what was going on. Their hands were on the swords at their waists, but they didn't know whether they should draw them.
"Quickly, kill him! He's been possessed by a demon!" the old emperor immediately ordered.
Xia Mo thought about it for a moment and quickly understood why things had developed in this direction.
The imperial guards remained motionless, instead looking at Huangfu Qian.
"Father is old," Huangfu Qianzi said as he came back to his senses from his daze. The first thing he said was that the old emperor was old.
"What do you mean?!"
The old emperor realized that his imperial guards were not following his orders, and he panicked.
"Guards, escort the Emperor back to the Retirement Home to rest!"
Huangfu Qian glanced at Xia Mo and gave the order with a cold expression.
The imperial guards moved, sheathed their swords, and surrounded the old emperor.
The old emperor stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He thought that everyone in the army belonged to Huangfu Qian, but these imperial guards in the palace were all trained by him and were his people, right? Unexpectedly... even the imperial guards weren't his people!
Clang—
In the instant she realized the situation, Consort Wei lost her grip on the dagger, and it fell to the ground.
