Chapter 285: There Are Always Traitors Who Want to Harm Me (3)
As soon as the waiter's voice fell, a large whimper suddenly sounded in the inner hall, and it was difficult for Meng Hui to hear the grief from these cries, but he saw joy in the micro-expressions of many people.
Among them are the original owner's father, three sisters, and a group of harem personnel and former ministers behind him...... If you round it up, you can say that everyone is present.
Meng Hui felt that the empress was very miserable, and seeing this situation, no one really wanted her to live.
At this moment, Meng Hui was almost certain that the empress must have done some angry things during her lifetime, but she forgot about it herself.
After getting up, the thin Great Emperor Ji took the lead and retreated to the side, and the second and third children and Meng Hui followed closely behind her, changing from a horizontal row to form a vertical row. The people in the hall moved and retreated to the sides, standing with their hands down.
After everyone stood up, a young man with a very bewitching appearance walked outside the door, followed by a group of coffin bearers.
The young man wore a wide white robe with a unique and strange embroidered ornament. Meng Hui swept his eyes and found that the shapes and strokes of these ornaments were slightly similar to the ancient runes used in the underworld and the heavenly court.
With just one bit of similarity, mortals in the yang world can use the ornament to exert a power beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
But compared to the real ancient runes, these ornaments are very much like imitations of a one- or two-year-old child, and for Meng Hui, the weak power emitted by the ornaments is almost nothing.
This man with an obviously unusual status is none other than the national teacher of the Great Concubine, Qi Kang.
Ji Luan doesn't have much impression of Qi Kang himself, he has always been elusive, and in order to maintain his mysterious image, he does not appear in the public eye.
Ji Luan only knew that the empress hated him very much, so disgusted that she wanted to abolish him many times. But since the founding of the dynasty, there has always been a national teacher, and no matter how powerful the empress is, she can't do anything to this otherworldly person.
The Great Concubine Dynasty has gone through forty-nine generations of empresses, but there are only three generations of national teachers, and the lifespan of each generation is hundreds of years. The national teacher calculates the destiny of heaven and the fortune of the country, and can interfere in national affairs if necessary.
The biggest difference between Qi Kang and the empress is that Qi Kang suggested that she break first and then stand up, and devote the strength of the country to launch a war to rebuild the prosperous world in the war. However, the empress felt that Qikang had bad intentions and wanted to take advantage of the war to seize power and subvert the rule of the Ji family.
Meng Hui didn't know what route the country should take at the moment, and it was not good to judge who was right and who was wrong between the empress and Qikang. Her mind swept over Qi Kang, and she found that this person's soul was stronger than ordinary people, and that was it.
Qi Kang's physical age was three hundred and fifty years old, and the reason why he was able to live so long was because of the runes on his clothes, not because of any strangeness about him.
If you take off the clothes on your body, you will last for ten minutes at most, and you will directly age quickly and die.
Beggar Kang muttered a mantra that no one could understand, and walked slowly from outside the door to the bed, his hands stretched out, and easily lifted the heavy body filled with mercury.
"It's really a good pretend......" Meng Hui complained silently, Qi Kang's hand caused the eyes of everyone present to widen, in their opinion, Qi Kang is simply an immortal who has fallen into the mortal dust.
The beggar led the empress to the middle of the inner sanctum, recited a mantra again, and then put the body into the coffin, waving his hand to let the coffin bearer leave.
"The Empress's Spirit has an order!" Qi Kang stood in the middle of the inner hall and shouted, and everyone present squatted down and bowed down again.
Meng Hui lay on the cold ground, feeling funny in his heart. Qi Kang is simply a big fool, if the empress's soul has an order, why don't you tell her in the underworld? I just want to say it to the person I hated the most in my life at this time!
"The Four Emperors Ji Luan, the destiny of heaven, should be the empress."
Meng Hui was walking in his mind, and he was so surprised that he almost hiccuped when he heard this, and the people around him were also inexplicable when they heard Qi Kang's words, and several emperors couldn't help but raise their heads and glared angrily.
Ji Luan has been a non-existent character since she was a child, and sometimes everyone even forgets that there is such a princess in the palace. I thought that the throne would fall to the Great Emperor Ji, and no matter how bad it was, the Second Emperor Ji and the Third Emperor Ji would also become.
No one set their sights on Ji Luan, but the national teacher appointed her.
Meng Huicai didn't believe that Qi Kang really calculated any "Mandate of Heaven", and the "True God Sticks" who could tell fortunes were all working in Heavenly Court, so why did he go to a mundane country to be a national teacher.
He designated Ji Luan, and he must have selfish intentions. But no matter how suspicious everyone was in their hearts, no matter how angry the other three emperors were, it was impossible for them to jump out and argue with him.
There is indeed a precedent for the national teacher to designate the next emperor in the Great Concubine Dynasty, Qi Kang's actions are legal, and he himself has the power to make mortals fearful, so everyone present can only keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts and dare not speak out.
Meng Hui had no choice but to get up and step forward and accept the "Destiny" smashed on his head. She hung her head and pursed her lips slightly, and reluctantly knelt in front of Qikang, who poked her forehead with one finger, as if she could point out a flower.
Meng Hui resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and lowered his head again in Qi Kang's slightly puzzled eyes.
"Your Majesty, you can get up."
"Oh......"
Meng Hui stood up slowly, tried his best to look at a loss, and looked weakly at Wan Ning, who had been demoted to become the emperor's father.
Wan Ning was a very gentle person, and he spoke softly, as if he was afraid that if he said it too much, he would alarm the dust in the air. He can't raise Ji Luan personally, but as the man with the highest rank in the harem, he can still meet his daughter often.
Seeing his daughter's confused expression, he hurriedly soothed her with his eyes, glanced at her and asked her to go out of the hall.
"Your Majesty?" Qi Kang took two steps forward, and a smile appeared on his beautiful face. "The sacrificial rite is ready."
Meng Hui tried his best to make a frightened and excited expression, turned around and said loudly: "All the secretaries are ...... Follow me to the altar of the festival! She stepped forward, only to see the three emperors with uneasy expressions, and angrily followed her out.
The Great Emperor Ji Ji Yuan quickened his pace and hurriedly caught up with Meng Hui, taboo the gaze swept by the national teacher, and slowly took half a step back, leaning into Meng Hui's ear, and his tone was neither light nor heavy. "If you don't want to follow the Empress, do you know what to do?"
Meng Hui glanced at her like a fool: "Of course I know." ”
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to know." She saw that Meng Hui's expression was not quite right, she frowned slightly, and then asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Meng Hui lowered his eyes and did not respond. Of course, she knew that Ji Kite was threatening her to abdicate, but if Qi Kang dared to make this decision, he must have his own considerations and preparations. Besides, when she got the throne, why did she politely push it out and give it to Ji Luan, and Ji Luan could still have a way to live?
It is natural for the empress to want to investigate the murder of the former emperor, and she can directly intervene in the tasks of keeping the imperial power of the concubine family and the internal and external affairs.
It's not only convenient for the task, but also sitting on the country, why not do it?
