Chapter 455: Don’t be disrespectful to the gods, or you will die (17)
The snake demon might teach him some simple literacy or tell him some interesting stories from the past.
Maybe he hasn't fully accepted her yet, but is just trying to seize a chance to survive out of an instinctive desire to survive.
Therefore, she would not force him to do anything, or say anything.
The rooftop was quiet again.
At this moment, for the people in the palace, it must be the first nightmare in their lives.
But this night was the first spring that Tianjie welcomed after holding on for so long.
After the first incident, the entire palace was shrouded in fear.
When the emperor was favoring his concubine, a ghost appeared and frightened him. His terrified look at that time was the shame of his life.
So after all the ghosts had finished making trouble and retreated, the first thing he did was to send someone to find the Taoist priest in the palace.
In the Jinluan Palace
The ministers stood there trembling with fear, with their heads lowered, not daring to look up at the furious emperor who was sitting above them.
He stared angrily at the Taoist priest standing in the middle, while the latter was calm and composed.
The Taoist priest was still very young, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, his long black hair casually tied up, his deep eyes seemed to hide endless wisdom and power, and he exuded a mysterious aura.
He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He faced the emperor sitting above without fear, as if the other party was just an ordinary person on an equal footing with him.
As the emperor, this was the first time that Dongfang Yin met someone who dared to look him in the eye. It was because of this that he decided to recruit him into the palace.
But last night, the palace was in chaos due to a group of ghosts. Even the Queen Mother was frightened and became sick. Many concubines and princes and princesses were also frightened.
However, the Taoist priest he hired at a high price was nowhere to be seen, causing the ghosts to make trouble until dawn.
Even now, he still stood in front of him without showing any sign of fault!
Dongfang Yin angrily knocked on the armrest of the chair and asked through gritted teeth: "Master Li, you once swore that you would not let go of any evil things in the place where you are, but how do you explain what happened in the palace last night?"
Li Wu ignored his anger and calmly said to the emperor: "I didn't hear any movement in the yard last night. If you don't believe me, you can ask the eunuch who is guarding my yard."
Dongfang Yin became even angrier. When this Taoist priest spoke to him, he didn't even use a respectful title, but actually used "you" directly!
He didn't believe it at all. The whole palace was in chaos last night. Although their courtyard was a little remote, it was not desolate.
Plus, there were reports of ghost stories in the area, so how was it possible that they didn't hear anything?
He immediately ordered someone to summon the father-in-law who was guarding the gate of Li Wu's yard, but the answer he got was the same as Li Wu's, that he didn't hear any movement.
Dongfang Yin glared at Li Wu with great anger, with countless ideas of how to punish him flashing through his mind, but he was quickly interrupted by Li Wu.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Concubine Yan who passed away a while ago?"
Dongfang Yin was stunned for a moment, but then quickly reacted, "Of course, she allowed a demon to sneak into the harem. She is the scourge of the royal family!"
Li Wu: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the strange change in the sky over the Imperial City two days ago?"
Dongfang Yin replied impatiently: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Li Wu said calmly and without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please send everyone away. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
