Chapter 1854 You Scold the Emperor
Xiao Bai always felt that once the ghost messenger token was lent out, it might never be returned.
We can't just give it to them anymore.
But Lu Zhaoling covered her mouth with one hand and said something in a low voice that almost made Xiaobai jump up.
He stared at Lu Zhaoling with wide, ghostly eyes. "Really?"
What the senior sister told him was—
Old Ghost Tian might be able to find information about King Yama. He could find out faster if he had a token. Should we give it to him?
Lu Zhaoling said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"This, this is too..." I don't even know how to put it.
They couldn't find any information about Yama, but an old ghost did?
“Sometimes, unconventional methods might work better!” Lu Zhaoling said.
"If you don't give him the token, he might be stopped wherever he goes, and he'll be restricted at every turn. What if he misses a clue from the King of Hell?"
Xiao Bai is now wavering.
"But can Senior Sister guarantee his trustworthiness? He won't use the Ghost Messenger's token to do whatever he wants, will he?"
“Look into my eyes.” Lu Zhaoling pointed to her eyes.
Xiao Bai said blankly, "Senior Sister's eyes are quite beautiful."
Lu Zhaoling: "...I mean, I've always had a good eye! If Old Ghost Tian were the kind of guy who would dare to do anything reckless, would I have asked him for help when I met him? I would have arrested him and handed him over to you guys long ago!"
Xiao Bai nodded, "That's true."
"Shouldn't we inform the judge about this?"
Before, when the judge was not around, they could secretly make decisions. Now that the judge has returned, they can't overstep his authority, can they?
“He’ll agree; he knows Old Man Tian too. You take it first, and if he says anything later, I’ll take full responsibility,” Lu Zhaoling said.
At worst, she can just act like the senior sister.
Thinking about her relationship with the judge, Xiao Bai no longer had any reservations.
He went and retrieved a token, which he then gave to Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling quickly took the token and gave it to Tian Mancang.
"With this token, you can pass through even if you see the City God and other ghost messengers. But you can't use it recklessly. If anything goes wrong, I can't protect you."
Lu Zhaoling then "threatened" Tian Mancang again.
Holding the token, Old Man Tian was so excited he didn't know what to say.
His mind was filled with the thought, "My ancestors' graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!"
One day, he was actually able to wield the token of the Netherworld's Ghost Messenger and travel freely between the mortal and underworld realms!
He's really made something of himself!
Father and Mother, you've already been reincarnated long ago, your youngest son has really grown up to be capable!
It's a pity his parents have already been reincarnated, otherwise he would have gone back to show off!
"Did you hear that?" Lu Zhaoling waved her hand in front of him. "Take it easy, you're about to burst into tears?"
Old Tian came to his senses, quickly gripped the token, and bowed deeply to Lu Zhaoling.
"Thank you, Master! Please rest assured, Master, I will keep the token safe and will never misuse it! I will use it only when necessary and in the right place! I will definitely investigate the information thoroughly and live up to your expectations!"
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
She now suspects she has a certain quality that attracts these strange ghosts.
They're all so funny!
Tian Mancang went off in high spirits and with great determination.
Despite being shocked by the news he brought, Lu Zhaoling's mood wasn't too heavy.
But why hasn't Xiao Hei come back yet after being gone for so long?
Lu Zhaoling even considered sneaking into Purgatory to explore it.
She was able to endure it now because she had previously drawn a life-giving talisman on Zhou Shiyue's body.
If he dies, the Life-Giving Talisman will turn to ashes, and she will be able to sense it.
The fact that the Life-Giving Talisman is not moving at the moment at least indicates that he is not in immediate danger.
The night passed.
It was not yet dawn.
The officials were ready to go to court.
As everyone filed into the palace, Lord Chen looked around and spotted Imperial Censor Lin. He quickly ran towards him.
"Chen Deshan! Why are you running so fast?" A minister was bumped by him, his official hat was askew, he quickly straightened it and glared angrily at Lord Chen.
Lord Chen didn't even turn his head, pretending not to hear, and slipped over to the old Imperial Censor Lin, grabbing his sleeve.
Imperial Censor Lin turned his head and tried to flick his sleeve, but failed.
"Lord Chen, what kind of behavior is this?" Imperial Censor Lin said sternly.
Why are they pulling on his official robe sleeve?
Lord Chen pulled the old man out of the line and to the side to talk.
"Old Censor, are you ready with your speech for today?"
"What is this?" Imperial Censor Lin was bewildered. What kind of prepared speech was he supposed to give?
"You're going to be giving someone a piece of your mind today, aren't you?"
"What insults? What nonsense are you spouting? I always speak frankly and directly. If anyone has acted improperly or inappropriately, I will point it out clearly. This is to uphold the law and ensure that all officials act in accordance with the law..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Lord Chen waved his hand, interrupting him. "I know, I know. What I mean is, you should point out any wrong people or things today, right?"
"Which one are you referring to?"
“Please listen to me,” Lord Chen said in a low voice, “no matter who you originally wanted to talk about, put that aside for now and talk about that person first.”
He clasped his hands in a fist salute and faced the sky.
Imperial Censor Lin did not understand.
"Who?"
"That one!" Lord Chen raised his hand higher and clasped his hands towards the sky.
"Which one?"
"The Emperor!" Lord Chen couldn't help but raise his voice slightly.
He quickly covered his mouth and looked around, wondering if anyone had heard him.
He met Lin Rong's gaze.
Lin Rong remained calm and composed, which meant no one had heard him; otherwise, Lin Rong would have looked at him with utter contempt.
It's like looking at an idiot.
Lord Chen felt relieved, but when he turned around, he met Imperial Censor Lin's wide-eyed stare.
"Lord Chen, are you crazy or am I?" Imperial Censor Lin looked at him. "Why would I criticize the Emperor for no reason?"
"Because if you don't speak up about the Emperor today, someone else will stand up and criticize His Highness the Crown Prince. In that case, someone has to divert the attention. The Emperor hasn't woken up yet, you know that, right?"
"His Majesty is unable to hold court this morning?" Imperial Censor Lin was indeed unaware of this.
He originally thought that the Emperor would at least be helped out by Eunuch Qin to make an appearance today, and at most he would just sit on the dragon throne without saying a word, leaving the Crown Prince to speak.
He was unaware of how serious the emperor's condition was.
"Yes," said Lord Chen.
"Is it true that last night they said Prime Minister Shen wanted to temporarily assume power?"
Imperial Censor Lin did receive a little bit of a rumor yesterday, but he didn't quite believe it.
"You'll see in a moment." Lord Chen knew he couldn't say more at this point, nor did he have time to. "Anyway, I've already told you this. You'll have to see how things go later. You should at least help His Highness the Crown Prince, right?"
