The next day, it was morning.

The ministers came to the court and were all talking about last night's fireworks.

Mr. Bao is quite embarrassed. Mr. Guang is a bit high-profile. If everyone follows his example from now on, then... how lively will the Imperial City be at night?!

This morning, several officials who did not attend court on weekdays also came. They were probably specially called by Zhao Zhen.

Among them was Lu Lin from Si Tianjian.

It can be said that Lu Lin's official position is indeed high, but Si Tianjian spends his days digging soil and rarely sees him going to court to discuss state affairs. Could it be that digging ancient tombs has unearthed some treasure?

After waiting for a long time, the emperor did not come, which made the officials a little curious - the emperor is rarely late, is there something that has delayed him?

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the screen beside Long Shu's desk. As they were looking, they heard two sounds of "cough" coming from behind.

The ministers turned around and were surprised to find the emperor standing outside the court door.

The ministers looked at each other, how could they enter through this door today?

Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back, smiling warmly in the spring breeze as always, and walked slowly inside.

In the court hall, the ministers on both sides of Wen Dong Wu Xi Lieli looked at Zhao Zhen who was walking past them.

The emperor is no different from usual, but he always feels that something is wrong.

At this time, a few sharp-eyed people suddenly pointed to the ground, beckoning others to look.

I saw two shadows dragging on the ground behind Zhao Zhen, one was darker and the other was shallower.

Although the weather is nice today, the court hall is indoors after all. There must be a shadow behind everyone, and they are all just a faint shadow.

The emperor's shadow seems to have some "special talent". One color is similar to everyone else's, while the other is dark, as if there is an ink stain behind him.

Originally, it was okay not to pay attention. Once this was discovered, the adults couldn't help but stare at it...curious about what this thing is?

After staring for a while, the shadow suddenly disappeared.

The ministers in the DPRK are generally very old, and many of them rub their eyes subconsciously—could it be that their old eyesight has made a mistake?

Zhao Zhen swaggered up the steps, sat down on the dragon chair, waved his hand to the concubines who were saluting, and motioned for them to stand down without saluting.

"Where's Lu Lin?"

Zhao Zhen looked for Si Tianjian in the crowd.

Lu Lin came out of class and saluted, "I'm here."

"How did you do what I asked you to do?" Zhao Zhen leaned against the Long Bookcase, looking unusually anxious.

"To report to your Majesty, I have sent ten teams to various places to search for him."

"Okay." Zhao Zhen looked very satisfied and rubbed his hands, "Then I will just wait for the good news from Aiqing!"

This incident made the officials very curious - isn't Si Tianjian responsible for digging graves? He is so tanned every day that he either puts together porcelain plates or sticks clay pots... What other important tasks can he have?

The ministers were curious, but they didn't pay much attention.

Many of them still have business at hand to start.

Zhao Zhen held his chin and listened to the court officials' discussions, occasionally asking a few questions, as usual.

But the ministers all looked closely at the emperor's feet... because the dark shadow was back again.

The shadow was so evil that it swam around Zhao Zhen's feet and "flowed" down the steps, which made everyone panic.

All the ministers subconsciously raised their heads to look at Nangong's face... It stands to reason that the black shadow was so obvious that Nangong couldn't have noticed it. Not to mention such a large shadow, he could usually spot a mosquito flying past the emperor.

After seeing Nangong, the ministers went to see Master Bao and the Grand Master.

But the two adults didn't seem to care at all...

While he was wondering, the shadow suddenly came down from the steps and began to "swim" on the floor of the court hall.

Several adults watched the shadow swimming past their feet. They were so frightened that they gasped and tried hard not to scream. But the unknown black shadow circled around their feet, and several ministers raised their feet.

hide.

For a moment, all the old men in the court were staggering around, looking down at the ground.

Zhao Zhen looked at it from a high position and found it quite interesting. He held his chin and winked at Nangong.

Nangong was helpless and glanced at the black spot that was moving erratically on the ground. It was hard to imagine... that this was actually a person.

…

Yesterday, after Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen discussed the plan to lure the snake out of its hole, they went back to implement it.

The plan is for the fake emperor Zhan Zhao to block the bait, while Bai Yutang and the Thousand Corpses Monster use bone knives to capture the owner of the Diling Palace.

But the specific implementation requires several steps.

First of all, it is Zhao Zhen who comes to court today.

It is certainly not difficult for Zhan Zhao to impersonate Zhao Zhen in appearance, but it is still difficult to imitate his words and deeds.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao was hiding in Zhao Zhen's study, wearing makeup, a mask, and a dragon robe.

Although it was quite troublesome to put on an outfit on a hot day, Zhan Zhao thought it was quite fun. He had even become an emperor, and Mr. Cat had also worn a dragon robe.

Bai Yutang and the Thousand Corpses Monster are waiting with bone knives... After a while, Zhao Zhen will "exchange" with Zhan Zhao as soon as he comes down to the study.

And the dark figure who followed Zhao Zhen to court was none other than the funeral flower.

Uncle Burian followed him to the court. On the one hand, he wanted to create the illusion that Zhao Zhen was also followed by Di Lingzi. On the other hand, he also took the task given by Gongsun to find out if any of the ministers in the court were poisoned like the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms.

people.

Veteran ministers always feel like someone behind them is tugging on their collars, waving their hands but unable to touch them. Little do they know that it is the funeral flowers who are looking to see if there are any dark spots on their backs.

After a round of observation, none of the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government were caught. It seemed that only the Dukes of the Seven Kingdoms, the people from Yuhua Academy, and the unlucky gang of heroes.

…

Speaking of this group of poisoned people, Mr. Gongsun is in trouble.

The gentleman detoxified the Jianghu man caught by the Jiangnan League. The man recovered from his madness and was out of danger after a night of recuperation.

But the poison in Mr. Ruiyang's body is difficult to get rid of.

Gongsun studied it carefully and found that the antidote they took regularly might be more powerful than the poison.

This kind of poison must be eradicated, but if you take the antidote, the toxicity will be suppressed and it will be difficult to eradicate. Therefore, the best time to detoxify is to be like the caught Jianghu man and stop taking the medicine for many days.

When a full attack occurs, taking strong medicine at this time can actually completely eliminate the poison.

But the problem is that when this poison takes effect, people will be extremely aggressive. It took so much effort to catch just one of them, all the Dukes of the Seven Kingdoms, plus so many students from Yuhua Academy, plus those Jianghu people...

...No matter how you think about it, it is a huge project.

The more Gongsun thought about it, the harder it became, so he sighed,

Sitting at the table with him was Liangchen Meifang.

The five children were doing their homework. When they heard sighs, they all looked up.

Gongsun also raised his head, but why did he hear another sighing sound?

At the next table, the Silver Demon King, who was sitting and reading with Gongsun, was also sighing for some reason.

Gongsun held a book and flipped through it while saying to the Demon King, "Who told you to leave your children and leave? If you didn't leave, you wouldn't have missed anything."

The demon king covered his chest and looked at Gongsun, "Why are you like this?! You stabbed someone in the heart when they were sad."

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Gongsun continued to hit him, "You deserve it!"

The Demon King sighed aggrievedly, and heard Mr. Gongsun sighing at the table next to him.

Both looked up at each other.

The demon king thought for a while, ran to Gongsun's table, sat down, and asked, "Sir, what's bothering you?"

Almost at the same time, Gongsun also asked the Demon King what troubles he had.

The two sides looked at each other again.

The Demon King sighed, "Jiangjiang and Xiaoyou are becoming more and more rebellious. They don't tell me anything, and today they started a cold war!"

"Zunzun and Yin Yin are having a cold war?" Xiao Sizi asked the Demon King with his face raised.

The Demon King nodded again and again, "When I woke up this morning, neither of them spoke. Xiaoyou ignored Jiangjiang, and Jiangjiang ignored Xiaoyou."

"For what?" Xiao Liangzi gave an idea, "There must be some misunderstanding, just make it clear."

"I just refuse to tell you!" the demon king asked Gongsun, "Sir, when the little baby wanted to hide something from you, how did you ask?"

Gongsun subconsciously looked at his dumplings.

The fourth son looked up at his father.

Gongsun narrowed his eyes and poked his son's fleshy cheek, "Are you hiding something from daddy?"

The little fourth son smiled "hehe", lowered his head and continued to do his homework. He didn't say yes or no, so he just got over it.

Gongsun was stunned and quickly shook his son's shoulders, "You are hiding something from dad?!"
