Just as the thought in Dugu Yue's mind came to an end, the emperor's painful screams immediately stopped and disappeared.
Although the emperor was screaming in pain, he still knew clearly what had just happened, but he was unable to speak.
"Your Majesty, are you okay, Your Majesty?"
The commander of the imperial guards who was concerned about the emperor's condition suddenly stopped talking, and then asked incredulously: "You, are you your Majesty?"
The words were full of disbelief, as if he had seen something that subverted common sense, and his voice was trembling.
But at this time, hearing something wrong in the trembling voice of the guard commander, the other guards and guards with swords all turned their heads.
However, when they turned around, everyone was shocked on the spot. Their expressions were no better than those of the commander of the guards. They were in disbelief, shocked, and envious.
Because when they heard the emperor's screams and rushed in to escort him, the emperor was covering his face and rolling on the ground, so no one could see the emperor's face.
Just based on the clothes the emperor wore and the sound of his screams, he subconsciously thought he was the emperor.
But now, after the emperor stopped screaming and regained his composure, the guards no longer dared to confirm that he was the emperor.
Because at this time, the emperor suddenly became at least twenty years younger and looked like a young man in his early twenties.
The commander of the imperial guards who came into the Gu family was not Pang Wu, but a strong man in his forties or fifties who had reached the level of Lord Wu.
He was already a veteran in the palace, and was basically a playmate who grew up with the current emperor. Therefore, he had also seen the emperor's appearance when he was young twenty years ago, and that was why he dared to give a tentative shout.
.
The emperor didn't know all this yet. He just felt that after he took the middle-grade beauty elixir, there was a sharp, unbearable pain all over his body.
Although the pain lasted only a few breaths, he deeply understood how seconds felt like years.
After he had just recovered, he saw the ungrateful behavior of his own guards and bodyguards, especially the commander-in-chief, who was regarded as a brother to him in private, which made the emperor feel very angry.
So after the emperor heard the tentative inquiry from the great commander Li Yuankui, he responded angrily: "I'm not, are you?"
Although he had a close relationship with the emperor in private, this was after all a public occasion. Upon hearing the emperor's unkind rhetorical question, the commander-in-chief Li Yuankui said directly: "I don't dare. I made a mistake. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Duguyue felt a little excited for no reason when she saw the passionate relationship between the emperor and the great commander Li Yuankui.
I don't know if it was because she was a woman, but Dugu Yue also had a rotten girl side. The scene of the emperor's little boy lying in the arms of Li Yuankui's majestic body automatically appeared in his mind.
But then Duguyue felt a chill and quickly shook her head frantically to get rid of the image in her mind. This was too scary.
Duguyue didn't have much time, so she didn't want to wait for the emperor to notice the changes in his body, so he reminded him directly: "Your Majesty, you can ask the commander of the guards to tell you what changes have happened to you. I
My time is limited and I don’t have time to waste time here with you.”
When the emperor heard Dugu Yue's words, he wanted to get angry. After all, he just took a so-called middle-grade beauty-preserving pill, which almost made him miserable. How could he not be angry?
Just seeing Du Guyue's calm and composed expression, the anger in his heart was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Because Dugu Yue was still wearing the shining blue badge on his chest at this time, not to mention whether he could afford to offend him as a spiritual refiner.
It is said that from the intelligence he collected, Dugu Yue's terrifying force that was inconsistent with his own realm was a very big deterrent.
I'm afraid that even if all the palace guards and imperial guards gathered here, they wouldn't be able to stop his palms at all.
"Yuan Kui, is there any injury on my face?" After listening to Dugu Yue's suggestion, the emperor touched his face that was in agony just now, and then asked directly to his most trusted brother and subordinate.
Li Yuankui heard the inquiry and said the truth without thinking: "Your Majesty, not only are you not injured, but you are also much younger. You look about the same age as the second prince."
If the eldest prince said this at this time, the emperor would think that his son was trying to please him, so he said this. But since it was Li Yuankui who said this, the emperor had no doubt at all.
"Okay, okay." The emperor laughed heartily three times and said the word "ok" three times in a row, which showed how happy he was in his heart.
But then, the emperor also wanted to see his own face with his own eyes, so he called out: "Come here, bring me a bronze mirror. Everyone else should go down and don't be rude to Master Du."
"According to the order." All the guards, whether they were imperial guards or guards with swords, slowly retreated after receiving the emperor's order.
But just when Li Yuankui was about to withdraw at the end, the emperor suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
Hearing the emperor's rare expression, Li Yuankui stopped immediately, and the other guards who had not yet walked out of the palace also stopped at the same time.
This is the difference between the king and his ministers. If the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die. Therefore, even if the emperor calls his ministers back and forth just for entertainment, the ministers will feel uncomfortable in their hearts, but they still have no choice but to obey.
This was the case at this time. Even if the emperor just told them to retreat and suddenly stopped them, they still had to obey.
When the emperor saw this, he immediately spoke again and said: "Commander Li Yuankui will stay, and the rest will retreat."
After the emperor's order was issued, the imperial guards and guards with swords who had stopped in their tracks were finally able to leave the hall again.
After all the guards had retreated, the emperor's attitude towards Li Yuankui suddenly changed and he said: "Brother Yuankui, go help call all my unsatisfactory princes and tell them that no matter what happens, they must come here.
.”
Although the emperor had laid down his identity, with an outsider like Dugu Yue present, Li Yuankui still followed the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. When he heard the emperor's instructions, he responded directly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing Li Yuankui take the order and leave, the emperor sighed helplessly, as if talking to himself or complaining to Dugu Yue: "Yuankui is three years older than me, and I regard him as my brother."
, but he is too stubborn and is still unwilling to let go of these false courtesy of monarchs and ministers."
Although she didn't know what the emperor meant, Dugu Yue was silent and did not answer this sentence.
After a while, seeing that Li Yuankui had not invited the princes, Dugu Yue did not want to continue sitting and wasting time, so she asked the emperor about her doubts and asked: "Your Majesty, I just saw you obey.
After taking the middle-grade beauty-preserving pill, you looked very painful. Can you tell me that there was another person who took the middle-grade beauty-preserving pill before you, but she did not show any pain."
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and then asked in disbelief: "Have you never tried taking it yourself?"
I am afraid that in the eyes of anyone, women should be crazy for pursuing beauty. The same is true in the eyes of the emperor. He, a grown man, in order to rejuvenate and stay youthful forever, couldn't wait to take the beauty pill when he got it.
.
In order to preserve the beauty of her youth, a beautiful woman like Dugu Yue should have taken the elixir herself immediately after refining it.
That's why it seemed so incredible after Duguyue asked about the pain changes after taking the Zhuyongyan Dan.
Dugu Yue said with disdain: "What a fuss!"
"Report, Your Majesty! The bronze mirror has been fetched."
Before the emperor could answer Dugu Yue's doubts, at this moment, the guard who had been sent to get the bronze mirror came back.
"Um."
The emperor responded softly, accepted the bronze mirror brought by the guard, and then dismissed the guard who gave it to him.
The bronze mirrors of this world are not as blurry as the bronze mirrors of ancient times on Earth, but are similar to the mirrors of the 21st century.
Although the color of the skin and clothing is somewhat different from that of a real person due to the bronze mirror, the outline of the facial features of the person reflected in it is the same clear, and even the number of eyelashes can be counted.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have brought five princes."
After the emperor saw that he was indeed twenty years younger in appearance, Li Yuankui's voice came in again before Dugu Yue could continue to ask about the pain of taking the Zhu Rong Beauty Pill.
The next moment, Li Yuanba entered the hall with five princes, including Luo Qianren, whom Du Guyue had met once before.
Among the five princes, Luo Qianren is only ranked fourth, not even the youngest. The youngest prince is only eleven or twelve years old. Tetenono is standing aside, keeping a distance from the other four princes, as if
Very scared look.
If Dugu Yue didn't look at the karma on their bodies, just based on his first impression of these five princes, he would be that the eldest prince has a calm personality, is mature and prudent, and has the air of a general.
The second prince is confident and flamboyant, which fits the image of a noble and proud man, but he seems a bit immature.
The third prince is gentle and elegant, like a handsome young man in troubled times, but his shortcoming is that his appearance has not reached the level of a handsome young man.
As for the fourth prince Luo Qianren, whom she had a close relationship with before, Duguyue's first impression of him was that of a stalker, so we can not mention it for the time being.
Not to mention the fifth prince, who looked submissive and seemed to have been bullied a lot because of his status and age.
Of course, this is just the first impression, and Dugu Yue never relies on the first impression when looking at people. The causal lines and karma colors seen by Bu Tianshu are her standards for looking at a person.
In Dugu Yue's eyes, none of these five princes has clean hands, but the first three princes have more or less red karma on their bodies.
In particular, the third prince, who looks gentle and elegant, is simply a man with a beast's heart, and his karma is deeper than the karma of the other eldest princes and second princes combined.
At this time, the emperor was about to introduce Dugu Yue's identity to the five princes, and tell them something about Dugu Yue coming to choose the prince to teach.
Duguyue hurriedly winked at the emperor, telling him to ignore his presence and prevent him from revealing his intentions.
In fact, without the emperor knowing, Duguyue had already fully understood the character and temperament of the five princes.
Although Dugu Yue does not know the abilities that these princes are good at, Dugu Yue does not care about these. For her, no matter what ability, it can be carefully cultivated, and character is the main element that determines a wise king.
.
After Duguyue stopped the emperor from introducing the five princes to her, she fell silent without saying a word, waiting for the emperor and the five princes to exchange greetings and wait for them to leave.
As soon as the five princes left, Dugu Yue didn't mince words and said directly: "I choose the fourth prince."
The emperor did not doubt how Duguyue recognized who the fourth prince was. After all, in addition to the names the princes just called each other, their appearance and age could also be seen at a glance.
