Eunuch Zhao flicked his horsetail whisk and shouted loudly, "Court is dismissed!"
After everyone had left, Eunuch Zhao glanced at the National Preceptor and the black figure on the ground, then turned to chase after His Majesty.
As they left the Golden Throne Hall, Eunuch Zhao hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the National Preceptor he..."
Sensing the unusual tone in Eunuch Zhao's voice, the Emperor frowned and said coldly, "What do you want to say!"
Seeing that His Majesty was angry, Eunuch Zhao quickly knelt on the ground, his body trembling. He truly embodied the saying "accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger."
Seeing this, the Emperor sighed, his expression returning to normal. He said, "The National Preceptor saved my people, and possesses such immense power. Moreover, the National Preceptor is a good person, and you are not allowed to speak ill of him!"
"Yes!"
Eunuch Zhao saw that His Majesty seemed to admire the National Preceptor very much. He swallowed, relieved that he hadn't finished his sentence just now, or he might have been banished from the palace by now...
Golden Throne Hall.
Ying Ya looked at the person on the ground, frowned, bent down, and picked him up, leaving the Golden Throne Hall.
Back at his National Preceptor's mansion, under the strange gazes of Ming Li and Su Ran, Ying Ya carried the man into his room...
"Sister... Did Master just... carry someone back?"
Ming Li nodded calmly, "Yes, and it was a man, and he carried him into his room..."
Su Ran, "Sister... Do you think, Master, he might be..." a closeted homosexual?
Ming Li, "..."
At this moment, in the room.
Ying Ya placed the Second Prince in his arms onto his bed and intended to go to his pharmacy to get medicine. However, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he was met with two pairs of eyes filled with strange curiosity...
Ying Ya thought of something, his mouth twitched, and he said, "It's not what you're thinking!"
Ming Li and Su Ran nodded, giving him a look that said, 'We understand, you don't need to explain.'
Ying Ya, "..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Just as the atmosphere became strange, a painful coughing sound suddenly came from the room, successfully breaking the eerie silence...
Hearing this, Ying Ya's expression turned serious. He temporarily ignored the two little brats, Ming Li and her brother, and hurried to his pharmacy, grabbing a pile of spiritual medicines. Yes, spiritual medicines, not ordinary ones.
Seeing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow, summoned the system, and asked, "Who is that man he carried back?"
The system scanned and replied, "Host, he is not human."
Ming Li, "..."
Meeting Ming Li's gaze, the system's mouth twitched. It quickly said, "Host, I didn't mean it like that. I mean, he is not human, he is a demon. And..." The system paused, then mysteriously continued, "That demon is the male lead's own brother, and he is very powerful."
Ming Li nodded, her gaze shifting towards Ying Ya's room. She said in a faint voice, "But he's dying right now."
Upon hearing this, the system checked the original plot and said, "In the original plot, he also died, killed by the male lead himself. The male lead was preparing to attack the demon realm, and he stepped forward to stop the male lead, and was then killed by the male lead."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and responded with a casual "oh" without any interest, then withdrew her gaze and went back to what she was doing.
In the room, Ying Ya managed to temporarily save the Second Prince's life using all his might. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Ying Ya frowned and asked, "Qing Chi, how did you become like this?"
The Second Prince, Qing Chi, saw Ying Ya by the bed and said weakly, "Hong... Hong Lin returned to the demon realm, and absorbed a lot of essence and luck from powerful demons. I wanted to stop him, but..."
The Demon Emperor?
Ying Ya frowned and asked, "Didn't he disappear tens of thousands of years ago?"
Qing Chi nodded weakly, "Yes, he indeed disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, but... he suddenly returned a while ago, and became very weak, as if he had suffered a serious injury..."
