Xia Houyuan protected Qiandiewu in this way, which shocked everyone on the scene into silence. They looked at them in stunned silence, and were frightened when they saw Xia Houyuan's blood left on the knife.

Xiao Zhou was the first to react and hurried forward. He didn't dare to touch Commander Chen's knife, let alone Xia Houyuan's hand. He was afraid that he would accidentally make the injury on Xia Houyuan's hand more serious. He said worriedly and anxiously: "

This, how about this

Is that good? Hurry, go and call the imperial doctor." After saying that, he found that Commander Chen's knife was still stuck, and cursed: "Commander Chen, why don't you put your knife away quickly?

Can we chop off the emperor’s hand?”

"This subordinate deserves to die, please punish me." Commander Chen took back the knife and knelt down to plead guilty, but he was still paying attention to Jimo Wuming's every move. As long as the mechanism in the secret room was not touched, everything would be fine.

Xia Houyuan ignored his hands and let the blood flow from them. He turned back to Qian Diewu and asked gently: "You're not hurt?"

Qian Diewu looked at Xia Houyuan's injured hand, secretly noted this feeling, took out a handkerchief, briefly bandaged it for him, and said with guilt: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, it's not worth it. Take care of yourself more in the future and find someone who is worth it."

Cherish those you love."

"I just did what I should do. You don't have to worry about it. Anyone with a sense of justice will save a pregnant woman."

admit.

What's the use of admitting it? It will only increase worries.

"You would have been a good emperor, but it's a pity..." It's a pity that you have a bad father.

"Don't worry, if what you said is true, I will handle it."

"I just hope that my husband is safe now. You can take care of the rest." In order to thank Xia Houyuan for taking action just now, Qian Diewu didn't want to make it too difficult for him, so she didn't force him to deal with the old emperor in any way.

.

"Wu Ming, haven't you found it yet?" Qiandiewu bandaged Xia Houyuan with a handkerchief and then put him aside and focused on Jimo Wu Ming. Seeing that he had been searching for a long time but could not find any results, she also

Go and look for it together.

There is no big difference between this house and other palaces in the palace. It is nothing but royal and luxurious. There are no secret rooms or compartments at all.

Jimo Wuming searched the whole house several times, but found nothing.

Qian Diewu also searched, but also found no clues.

Xia Houyuan has been worried since the beginning of Jimo Wuming's search, but now that he has not found any results, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, "How about it, you guys have to give up now, right?"

"The old guy personally admitted that Big Brother is in his hands, how could he not? The mechanism in the secret room must be too secret. I searched carefully several times." Jimo Wuming refused to give up and had to find out the reason.

But Xia Houyuan refused to give in, and said displeasedly: "Jimo Wuming, have you had enough? I am the king of a country after all. Letting you search the palace in the middle of the night has already given you a great deal of face. Why don't you push yourself further?"

"It's not that I'm trying too hard, it's that my eldest brother is here. If I can't find my eldest brother, I will never give up."

"Then I won't let you continue to do whatever you want."

"What if I just want to keep looking?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude." Xia Houyuan waved his sleeves forcefully and ordered: "Come here, take him down."

Jimo Wuming was not afraid of Xia Houyuan, so he took out his fan and prepared to fight.

Qian Diewu shouted: "Wait a minute." Then she walked up to Xia Houyuan and had a good talk with him: "I will let you confront someone. Then you will know the truth of the matter."

"Who?"

"You will know who it is in a moment." Qian Diewu said nothing for the time being, and ordered the guardian on the side, "Go tell Disha and ask her to bring the person here."

"Yes, madam." The nurse took the order and went out.

But the palace guards outside the door refused to let him go and blocked the courtyard.

Qian Diewu gave Xia Houyuan a look, indicating that he should solve the problem.

Xia Houyuan waved his hand gently and asked the guards to retreat.

But the guard did not retreat, but looked at Commander Chen who was kneeling on the ground, waiting for his order.

Because Commander Chen had injured Xia Houyuan just now, he was guilty at the moment and could not speak anymore, but he had to do something. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded to the guards to express his order.

After receiving the order, the guard released the nurse and then stood still.

Xia Houyuan saw this scene in his eyes, and suddenly felt that his status as an 'emperor' was still in name only, and he could not even order a single guard in the palace.

It seems that he has to put some thought into the harem, otherwise there will definitely be big trouble.

Qian Diewu is not blind, nor is she an idiot. She knows better than anyone what the implications are. Even if Commander Chen was present, she said it bluntly: "Your Majesty, since you are already the Ninth Five Emperor, you should make good use of it."

Without the power in your hands, it will be difficult to convince others, let alone the world. A mere commander's orders are more courageous than yours. What's the point?"

Before Xia Houyuan could respond, Commander Chen strongly scolded Qiandiewu, "Qiandiewu, don't sow discord here. You are just a merchant's wife. It's not your turn to speak here."

"Yes, I am the wife of a businessman, but I am still your emperor's subject. Do you understand what it means that the people are more important than the king?"

"How can a pariah be compared with a saint, let alone the principle of being noble or inferior?"

"So you don't know how to be a king, let alone how to be a human being, so you have no right to make any remarks."

"Qiandiewu." Commander Chen gritted his teeth and glared at Qiandiewu. He really wanted to attack her again, but Xia Houyuan always warned him with his eyes that he could not do it.

This woman would be a disaster if she stayed.

Commander Chen's bad attitude towards Qian Diewu made Xia Houyuan very dissatisfied. However, Commander Chen was a popular figure around his father and was very loyal. He did not want to punish Commander Chen easily. After all, he would have to sell some face to his father.

We can't punish, so we can only give instructions: "Commander Chen, the eldest lady of Mo Castle is my honored guest today. I hope you will respect her."

"Your Majesty, they don't take the imperial power seriously at all, so why should you..."

"Shut up, I know what is right and wrong. If you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of them searching?"

"But..." Commander Chen couldn't argue, because there was indeed a huge secret here. If the living dead were exposed, the consequences would be serious.

At this time, a guard ran in in a panic and reported anxiously: "Report to your Majesty, the evil spirit of Mo Castle, she has..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Qian Diewu said on his behalf: "The person I want you to see is your father, and he is now a hostage in my hands."

As soon as these words came out, not only Commander Chen was furious, but also Xia Houyuan was a little angry, and asked in disbelief: "Die Wu, are you kidding me?"

He could allow her to run wild in the palace, but he couldn't stand her touching his father at will.

"Do you think I'm joking like this? Your father led a large number of living dead into Mo Castle tonight. We resisted in order to protect ourselves, but he was not as skilled as others, so he was captured by us. Why did your father

Begging for life, he claimed that Wuxuan was in his hands and was poisoned, and he could turn into a living dead at any time. Your Majesty, if it were you, what would you do? Is you stand there, waiting for others to kill you and destroy you?

Home?"

"impossible."

"It's impossible. You'll know after you confront your father."

Disha happened to escort the old emperor here, with the sword still on the old emperor's neck. She was wary of everyone around her. If anyone wanted to come to save the old emperor, she would definitely take action.

Sure enough, one of the guards rushed up and wanted to kill the Disha from behind.

Disha grabbed the old emperor's neck with his left hand, turned the sword in his right hand, and stabbed the person behind him directly. He stabbed the guard to death and then put the sword on the old emperor's neck.

The difference is that there is more red blood on the sword.

"Whoever dares to mess around, I will make a few cuts on him." Disha held the old emperor hostage and walked to Qian Diewu.

When the old emperor saw the bloody sword, he was even more frightened and panicked. He tremblingly ordered Xia Houyuan: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you save me quickly?"

"Father..." Xia Houyuan wanted to save the old emperor, but he also understood Disha's character. Disha was a man who kept his word and could kill without blood. For safety reasons, he had to talk to Qian Diewu first: "

Diewu, please let my father go first, and we can talk about it if there is anything you need."

"Your father is already a hopeless man. If we let him go, we will definitely die. I will not let my husband go until he is safe. Don't blame me for not giving you face. I am also forced by the situation.

"If you have no choice, please advise your father. As long as he is willing to let Wuxuan go, I promise to give him a way to survive." Qian Diewu said, no longer believing in the old emperor's bad character.

Xia Houyuan frowned and was a little angry, but what Qian Diewu said made sense, so he asked the old emperor: "Father, is Jimo Wuxuan really in your hands? Also, does the matter of the living dead have anything to do with you?

"

"They are spitting blood." The old emperor refused to admit it, and accused Qian Diewu and others of false accusations: "I just heard that Jimo Wuxuan got an elixir of immortality, so I wanted to go with him.

I asked for it, but when I arrived at Mo Castle, the place was already full of living dead. The people from Mo Castle thought I was the one who brought the living dead, so they arrested me."

"You're lying. It's obviously you who said that my eldest brother is in your hands." Jimo Wuming couldn't stand the old emperor's lying behavior and refuted angrily, wishing to tear his mouth open.

"That's because I was afraid that you would kill me, so I made up this lie. Jimo Wuxuan is not in my hands at all."
