Chapter 468
Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan's appearance was very short, but the shock it brought was huge.
Without using a single move, she left countless people unable to recover for a long time.
After a long while, the bullet comments exploded completely.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! The Yan Emperor really didn't die!"
"My husband is so cool! The queen of the lesbian circle has arrived!"
"How can Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan be so beautiful!"
"Oh my god!"
"I want to go back and take a screenshot; that scene just now was too beautiful!"
"The way my wife drinks is too cool! She's killing me!"
"AWSL!"
"You Mingyue is amazing!"
"This is the real Wu Xia!"
"After Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan's eyebrow-raising smile, You Mingyue has another classic scene: Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan drinking!"
"Just the acting in this drinking scene, You Mingyue has shattered the Wu Xia dreams of I don't know how many female stars!"
"The composition design is amazing! No special effects, no moves, yet it captured such a strong Wu Xia flavor!"
"Kneeling!"
"You Mingyue is the best!"
"After watching this episode, I'm going to go back and watch it a billion times!"
"So, because of Cao Cao Zhengchun's death, is Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan going to appear in person to deal with Zhu Zhu Wushi and the four secret agents?"
"I'm on Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan's side this time!"
"The protagonist group is in danger; could they all be killed by Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan?"
"Just kidding, do you think Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan's title as the Ruthless Emperor is for nothing? It's impossible for her not to kill them all."
"..."
And on the other side.
Inside the Dragon Guard Villa, the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis Zhu Zhu Wushi did not know that Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan had appeared.
In any case, now that Cao Cao Zhengchun was dead, this catastrophe could be considered settled.
The Godly Marquis also explained everything to everyone, saying that since Guihai Yidao's incident, he knew Cao Cao Zhengchun would find an opportunity to harm him, so he used this bitter-meat scheme to lure the other party into being arrogant, thereby revealing his fox tail, and finally defeating him in one blow. The so-called suicide was a play he performed to deceive Cao Cao Zhengchun.
"Elegant, very elegant!"
"He's a good actor, but you're in danger."
"The Yan Emperor specializes in curing all kinds of defiance."
"You're in trouble, just wait."
The bullet comments were flooding the screen again. It was strange; even though Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan was a big villain, a bad woman, once she appeared, everyone would habitually identify with her, and their stance would change instantly.
This is the charm of a classic character.
Suddenly.
In the drama, Suxin fainted.
Zhu Zhu Wushi's expression changed drastically! Ten.
Zhu Zhu Wushi hurriedly sought a divine doctor to treat her. The reason was soon found: it turned out that Suxin had once swallowed the highly toxic Persian Heavenly Silkworm, which triggered the cold poison in her body, leading to premature aging.
The divine doctor said that if the third Heavenly Fragrant Bean could not be found within seven days, she would fall into an eternal sleep.
Cheng Cheng Shifei said that they hadn't found it in twenty years, so how could they find it in a short time?
"Even if we can't find it, we must!" The Godly Marquis roared, giving Cheng Cheng Shifei a big fright.
At this time.
Shangguan Haitang and Wan Sanqian entered the door, asking what had happened to the Godly Marquis.
The Godly Marquis changed his usual calm demeanor and blamed himself: "A wise man may make a mistake; I was negligent. I didn't expect the Heavenly Silkworm poison to trigger Suxin's premature aging."
"Shangguan Haitang, issue an order immediately! Find every single file related to the Heavenly Fragrant Bean, without exception. Also, find the third Heavenly Fragrant Bean before midnight tonight, or you will be executed without mercy!"
At this moment, the audience was also anxious for the Godly Marquis; they felt Zhu Zhu Wushi's deep love for Suxin.
But misfortune never comes singly; just at this time, the Emperor urgently summoned the Godly Marquis to the palace to inquire about the recent changes in the Dragon Guard Villa and the cause of Cao Cao Zhengchun's death.
When Zhu Zhu Wushi went to the palace, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but worry; she understood the Emperor's character.
This Emperor didn't look as incompetent as he appeared on the surface. To balance the power of the Dragon Guard Villa and the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis, he gave Cao Cao Zhengchun power as soon as he ascended the throne.
Now that Cao Cao Zhengchun was dead, the power of the Dragon Guard Villa and the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis within the Great Ming Dynasty was too strong, which would inevitably arouse more suspicion from the Emperor.
He could not tolerate the Dragon Guard Villa being the only one in power!
In fact, this was indeed the case.
Shangguan Haitang's guess was very correct.
Inside the palace.
Zhu Zhu Wushi presented in detail the crimes Cao Cao Zhengchun had committed over the years to the Emperor, arguing that this person was evil and deserved to die. He also recounted his own consistent loyalty and patriotism. As for Guihai Guihai Yidao killing the Emperor's brother-in-law and committing multiple bloody cases in the capital, it was just Cao Cao Zhengchun's one-sided story and not worth believing.
"This Prince feels there is a hidden story behind Guihai Yidao's matter." Zhu Zhu Wushi said with his back to the Emperor, his tone becoming somewhat firm, while the Emperor looked at Zhu Zhu Wushi with cold eyes.
The Emperor frowned slightly and asked: "You mean those people were not killed by Guihai Guihai Yidao?"
Zhu Zhu Wushi's tone was firm: "At least the brother-in-law was not killed by him."
"Evidence?"
"This Prince will definitely bring back enough evidence and Guihai Yidao to report!"
"Good! Then the Imperial Uncle should go back and recuperate early." A faint smile squeezed onto the Emperor's face.
Zhu Zhu Wushi bowed: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhu Wushi turned and left, but the smile on the Emperor's face gradually disappeared. When Zhu Zhu Wushi's figure completely left his sight, he said: "Old, cunning, and treacherous!"
The bullet comments surged like a tide:
"Damn! This incompetent emperor!"
"I'm so angry!"
"The Godly Marquis is so loyal, yet you don't believe him?"
"This Great Ming is doomed!"
"Poor Godly Marquis, so loyal and sincere to the country, yet he is treated like this by the Emperor. It's not worth it! It's really not worth it!"
"Cao Cao Zhengchun was right; this is an incompetent emperor!"
"Could it be that the Emperor knows his father is not of the Zhu bloodline? That's why he's so guarded against Zhu Zhu Wushi?"
"Impossible! If the Emperor knew, it would mean Zhu Wuhua also knew; it's impossible to leave an excellent talent of the Zhu family alive until now."
"It should be the art of kingship; these emperors are always very suspicious."
"However, this time when the Godly Marquis met the Emperor, his attitude was indeed much firmer than before. He didn't call himself a subject as before, but instead called himself 'this Prince' in front of the Emperor."
"He must be too angry. Suxin's life is in danger, yet the Emperor is suspicious of him at this time; even a gentle person has a temper, and now that Cao Cao Zhengchun is dead, the Godly Marquis has more confidence."
"..."
Everyone was guessing.
Speaking of which, when the audience on Earth first watched "The World's Number One," seeing the Emperor suspect Zhu Zhu Wushi, they would also think this Emperor was incompetent and feel indignant for Zhu Zhu Wushi.
The character's setup in the early stages was just too good—loyal, affectionate, and righteous—making people want to think of him in the direction of a conspirator.
In the drama, Zhu Zhu Wushi returned to the Dragon Guard Villa.
This was already the content of the 32nd episode, and there were three episodes left before the drama reached its finale.
Just after returning to the villa, Zhu Zhu Wushi heard exciting good news from Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang: after reading thousands of files overnight, they discovered the three Heavenly Fragrant Beans that had been offered to the previous Emperor, Zhu Wuhua.
One was bestowed upon the Godly Marquis Zhu Zhu Wushi.
Another was given to the Empress at the time, who is now the Empress Dowager, and was later stolen by Cao Cao Zhengchun from the Empress Dowager's palace to plot against the Godly Marquis.
As for the most critical third Heavenly Fragrant Bean, the files didn't mention a single word, but Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang guessed from this that the third Heavenly Fragrant Bean was also very likely given by the late Emperor to an important person by his side.
The possibility of it being Zhu Wuhua's most favored concubine, Consort Shu, was the greatest.
