Emperor Yongchang didn't know what was going on. He felt like he smelled something after the wind blew by. His whole body felt weak for a moment, and he was carried away by Chu Ximo.
Concubine Jiang glanced at the concubine coldly, then glanced at Biyun and Nanny Jiang who were following closely behind her, and left.
When the concubine saw that the people were leaving in twos and threes, she felt unwilling and wanted to leave with her. Unexpectedly, Biyun and Aunt Jiang were standing beside her, and the girl who was originally following her had already disappeared.
Where has it gone?
"Your Majesty, you don't want to have dinner with the Emperor, let's go together!"
Biyun said, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, she took out a silver needle from her sleeve pocket and pierced the mute point on the palace concubine's body.
After she could no longer speak, she winked at Aunt Jiang, and the two of them carried her away like this.
When he returned to the imperial study, Chu Ximo closed the door first and reached out to touch the man's face.
"what you do?"
Seeing Chu Ximo's actions, Emperor Yongchang's voice began to tremble.
"Tell me, who are you, and where is my father?"
"You rebellious son, I am your father!"
Emperor Yongchang looked at Chu Ximo and stared at him fiercely.
Chu Ximo sneered and said, "Based on what you said, you are not my father."
After he finished speaking, when he touched the skin of Emperor Yongchang's ear, he felt something was wrong.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any traces.
The skin color of the ears is the same, but the feel is completely different. Isn’t it a fake mask?
When Biyun brought the palace concubine in, he heard Chu Ximo say: "Biyun, come here and take a look at this place."
Biyun took out a silver needle and pricked the palace concubine's sleeping point. When he saw that she was limp on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Master Liu, what's wrong?"
"Can you see if there is facial skin here? This skin feels different, but I can't tear it off no matter what."
When Biyun heard that Liu Ye also suspected the emperor, he felt a little relieved.
"Slave, take a look!" yyls
As she spoke, she stared at the two areas of skin carefully. After thinking about it, she took out the things she had put in the secret compartment and took out one of the bottles.
"This bottle of potion has some corrosive effects. It only takes one drop to cause the skin to burn and burst. Can this slave use it?"
When Emperor Yongchang heard this, his eyes narrowed and he began to struggle.
"I'll leave this person to you. No matter what, I must pull off his face today to see who he really is."
As Chu Ximo said this, he called Eunuch Ming in again.
Eunuch Ming didn't know why, and he bent over in fear: "King Mo!"
"Do you know what my father is doing these days?"
Eunuch Ming has always been the eunuch beside Emperor Yongchang. He has spent the longest time with the emperor and knows Emperor Yongchang best.
Logically speaking, if the emperor was replaced, he should have noticed it.
Eunuch Ming could not see what was going on inside. When he heard this, he knew that the situation was not good. He knelt down and kowtowed and said: "In recent days, the emperor has not been waited on when bathing or changing clothes. He also talks less.
Needless to say, even the sorrow between his brows has completely disappeared. The old slave once thought that it was because the prince was well, and King Mo and Princess Ruyi were there, so he relaxed like this."
Chu Ximo looked straight at him, trying to find any sign of lying in his eyes.
However, his gaze was so open that he could not find a trace of doubt.
"That person inside is not my father. Do you think, with the imperial study room surrounded by guards, how did they do it without alerting anyone?"
Eunuch Ming was startled when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "There is actually a secret passage in this imperial study room that can lead to other places. This is something that every emperor knows, and some in the harem also know it. If
If the people these days are not the emperor, then eight or nine times out of ten they were taken away through the secret passage."
"ah……"
Suddenly there was a scream, followed by a burning smell, and at the same time Biyun was heard saying: "Master Liu, the skin has been torn off, he is really not the emperor!"
Concubine Jiang looked at the strange man in front of her who looked to be in his thirties and looked pale, her whole body crumbling.
Sure enough, he is not the emperor. Why has he been so abnormal these days? Where is the emperor and why is he missing?
Chu Ximo and Eunuch Ming didn't care so much and walked towards the inner room.
This was the place where the emperor rested on weekdays, but at this moment, an unfamiliar man was lying on the ground rolling in pain.
If you look closely, you will see that his ears are half corroded and bleeding continuously.
Where the blood slid over, another horizontal groove was corroded.
The medicine Biyun was used by their secret guards to interrogate their enemies, but they never thought that it would be used on the false emperor today.
Eunuch Ming glanced at the fake emperor and quickly ran towards the bed.
I saw him move the jade pillow, reach out and press on one of the places, and soon he saw a passage appear in front of him.
"King Mo, this is it!"
Chu Ximo called Zhai and said, "You and Biyun go down and explore to see where it leads!"
"Yes, Master/Sixth Master!"
Concubine Jiang originally fell to the ground, but when she saw the secret passage, she quickly got up and wanted to go down there too.
"Concubine, please don't go."
Biyun is a careful person in her medical practice. After walking down a few steps, she said: "Sixth Master, there are traces of someone stepping here. From the footprints, it seems that it was not that long ago. I think it happened a few days ago.
"
Biyun held the fire certificate in her hand and looked at the messy footprints on the ground. She felt that there were at least three people.
This secret passage can accommodate two people walking side by side at the same time. When Zhai heard Biyun's words, he also lit up the fire seal he carried with him and observed it carefully.
"Follow the footprints and see where they lead."
Chu Ximo didn't go down yet. He still had to interrogate the fake emperor. Counting the time, his emperor brother was almost here.
An hour later, Chu Xixuan appeared in the imperial study room.
"Ah Mo, what happened?"
He faintly heard the sound of his mother and concubine crying from inside.
Chu Ximo didn't say anything, but just led him inside.
Chu Xixuan saw a fainted man wearing a dragon robe in front of him, and his mother-in-law was crying very sadly. In addition, a secret passage appeared on one side of the dragon bed, and in the other corner lay a woman wearing a palace concubine's attire.
I was horrified for a moment.
"Father is missing? When did it happen?"
During these days, Chu Xixuan and Chu Ximo were handing over the responsibilities of the palace and the city guard outside the capital, so he spent relatively little time walking to the imperial study. Even when he came, he glanced at his father in a hurry.
He left without saying a few words.
"As you can see, he has been replaced. According to the mother-in-law, it won't take many days. Now I will let Zhai and Biyun follow the secret passage to see where it leads. As for this person, please watch it, brother.
