Phoenix Arrives at the Scene
Seeking gold medals, seeking collections, seeking recommendations, seeking clicks, seeking comments, seeking red envelopes, seeking gifts, all kinds of requests, whatever you want, just throw it over!
Tonight's palace hall is a dazzling array of lights, a scene of music and dance rising to a crescendo.
The hall was filled with high-ranking officials from the imperial court. Apart from the Emperor, Empress and three princes, there were also ministers, generals, scholars and others, all gathered in one place. Those dignitaries chatted and laughed with each other, appearing to be harmonious on the surface, but who knows what thoughts they harbored in private.
This kind of banquet has happened more than once or twice. Whenever the emperor is in a good mood, such gatherings are common. However, since the current emperor fell ill, his temper has become increasingly unpredictable, so they have to be cautious in their words and actions.
Yi Ping sat in the main seat, ignoring the advice of the empress beside him, and indulged in drinking with joy. He, dressed in magnificent imperial attire, carried an air of majesty as a monarch, even if he was not a good emperor, but still did not allow others to look down on his imperial demeanor.
The queen sitting beside him, though not beautiful and slightly plump in figure, had a pair of especially gentle eyes like water, every move exuding the noble dignity of a motherly figure.
At the moment, their three children were sitting down, Yi Huang was busy taking care of the restless Yi Lin, while Yi Zhi sat alone in his seat, drinking and glancing around from time to time, as if looking for something.
Just when everyone present was getting excited about drinking.
"His Excellency Xie Zhide, Minister of War, has arrived——"
As the messenger's voice fell, the hubbub in the hall suddenly came to a stop.
Everyone stretched their necks to look outside the hall, but they were not looking at the Minister of War, but at the young divine doctor who had a slight reputation. It was said that this young divine doctor was not only the adopted daughter of the Princess of Pingyang, but also a beautiful woman like an immortal. The people present heard that the Emperor had also invited this young divine doctor, so they looked forward to tonight's finale even more.
As Xie Zhide appeared, the three people following him, including Su Yao, walked into the hall, and suddenly the crowd below let out a unanimous sigh at Su Yao.
What a beautiful woman!
Her hair was as black as ink, her eyes shone like stars, she looked no more than sixteen years old, wearing a white dress that seemed to be from another world, with skin as white and delicate as sheep's fat jade, her face was so beautiful that it seemed to be from heaven.
Su Ya's appearance immediately caused a stir among the dignitaries, followed by admiring, greedy, infatuated and adoring gazes that filled the hall.
No wonder everyone says that this young doctor's appearance is even more beautiful than Su Gui Fei, it's indeed not an exaggeration.
"See the Emperor."
Xie Zhī Dé made a kneeling bow, following local customs. Suō Yáo and the others also followed Xie Zhī Dé in paying respects to the holy one before them.
"No need for thanks." A thick and powerful voice full of momentum.
Su Ya slowly stood up, and when she lifted her head, she met a pair of eyes that were full of interest in sizing her up. The person was none other than Yi Ping, who was sitting opposite her. Yi Ping and Yi Kai looked somewhat similar, and even though he was already past fifty, his imperial majesty was not to be underestimated.
"Xie Zhide, is that person behind you the divine doctor introduced by Pingyang Wang to treat my illness?" A straightforward and questioning voice.
Xie Zhide bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is..." He raised one hand and pointed at Suo Yao behind him, "Miss Suo Yao, the little divine doctor who cured Prince Pingyang."
"Ah~" Yi Ping narrowed his eyes and sized up Su Ya below him, while Su Ya didn't dodge his gaze at all, letting him do so.
However, just now she took advantage of his inattention and also sized up this emperor. His body was covered with demonic energy, and although he looked healthy and energetic at the moment, it was clear that he was being controlled by someone else. The dense red demonic energy in his eyes must have been due to the fox demon's enchantment. It seemed that the current emperor was not possessed by the bloodthirsty gu worm, but rather was being controlled body and mind by a demon. If things continued like this, he would definitely be invaded by the demonic energy and die suddenly.
