Chapter 1877 Let him go see
What Lu Zhaoling wanted Sheng San Niangzi and the others to do was to promote the First Mystic Sect and for Sheng San Niangzi to visit the original site of the First Mystic Sect to see how difficult it would be to rebuild it.
At the same time, she selected a location in the capital city, intending to use it as the base for the First Mystic Sect in the capital, so as to recruit people or to make contact in the future.
After all, my master said that the original site of the First Mystic Sect was in the mountains, quite far from the capital.
Judging from her master's reaction and her previous dreams, Lu Zhaoling felt that the First Mystic Sect must have made a lot of contributions back then, so after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the Great Zhou should continue to have a place for the First Mystic Sect.
Lu Zhaoling assigned this task to Sheng San Niangzi, who was quite pleased.
Because Madam Sheng always thought the First Mystic Sect was exceptionally good. Because of Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting's existence, she considered it a very powerful sect. She thought that in the future, she would have the younger members of the Sheng family join the First Mystic Sect; in a way, she was doing something for her own family.
After entrusting the matter to Madam Sheng, Lu Zhaoling then spoke to her master and junior brothers about the Crown Prince. Yin Changxing and Yin Yunting overheard Lu Zhaoling's words and held a small meeting among themselves.
If they were to enter the palace to save the emperor, they would have to reveal their identities before the entire court and take responsibility for the emperor's life or death.
After all, he is the emperor. If all the people from the First Mystic Sect enter the palace and don't even have the ability to wake the emperor, the re-establishment of the First Mystic Sect will be unpopular. It won't spread its fame much, and might even destroy the reputation of the First Mystic Sect.
But if they enter the palace and revive the emperor, gaining this merit, it's unknown what the emperor's opinion of them will be, since it would clearly mean they are on the side of the Crown Prince.
What if they manage to revive the Emperor, only to be discarded after their usefulness is over? And once the Emperor is awake, how will the Crown Prince seize the throne? Although they may not need to be involved in this matter, the Emperor is a crucial link, and if they get involved, they won't be able to remain completely uninvolved.
However, they have an even more crucial figure on their side.
In Yin Changxing's view, Zhou Shiyue was more important than the emperor.
After listening to their concerns, Zhou Shiyue reassured them.
"Actually, you don't need to think too much about these things. All you need to do is wake the Emperor up after you enter the palace. But I have a slight hesitation. Ideally, after you wake the Emperor up, you should be able to roughly determine his lifespan and how much longer he has to live. This is actually what Crown Prince Guan's next move is to make."
However, Zhou Shiyue also knew that examining an emperor's fate in detail would have a significant impact on them. Previously, he had been absolutely unwilling to let Lu Zhaoling look at it, but now he felt that it was quite important, but it wouldn't be good to let anyone look at it.
Zhou Shiyue raised this question to see if they had any other solutions. Upon hearing Zhou Shiyue's concerns, Yin Yunting tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then I'll go and see. My current status is different, so it shouldn't matter."
Yin Yunting said that his identity was different, naturally because of his status as a judge.
Zhou Shiyue looked at Yin Changxing with a questioning look in his eyes, wanting to get his confirmation.
Yin Changxing looked Yin Yunting over and nodded.
"This might work."
Lu Zhaoling was still a little worried, "What if it doesn't work?"
Yin Yunting immediately laughed and said, "Little Black and Little White are both hoping for my death. If I find out that your reading of the Emperor's fate has actually affected my own lifespan, wouldn't that be perfect? I can return to the Netherworld and properly be my judge."
"You wish!" Lu Zhaoling had no intention of letting him return to the underworld like that.
"It shouldn't be," Yin Changxing said. "Because judging someone's fate is something that judges can do, so if he goes to look at the emperor's fate book, at most he'll suffer a little, but it won't really cost him his life."
He thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, we haven't seen the emperor's current situation with our own eyes yet. Perhaps the emperor's will has already run out, which means his reign as emperor is almost over. If that's the case, what can we do but look at his fate?"
Hearing him say that, Lu Zhaoling thought it made sense. Indeed, they hadn't seen the emperor yet and didn't know his current situation. They should go and see first.
"Then let's prepare to enter the palace first. I'll check how much of the Emperor's auspicious purple aura is left."
The Crown Prince must be getting impatient by now. Not only the Crown Prince, but countless officials and civil servants are anxiously waiting to see if the Emperor will wake up or fall into a deep sleep.
Now that they have made their decision, they should make arrangements with Zhou Shiyue to prepare for entering the palace.
However, there are quite a few people who share the same idea as the Crown Prince. Besides them, there are other people who are trying to find a way to enter the palace to see the Emperor.
For example, the old Duke and his men also found people.
Several other senior and elderly members of the imperial family, distrustful of the Crown Prince or the other imperial physicians, sought out doctors they trusted or members of the Taoist sects, all waiting for an opportunity to visit the Emperor's palace and examine him in person.
Some genuinely wanted to bring the emperor to his senses. But others harbored ulterior motives, hoping to take advantage of the situation and make things even more murky.
Some might even harbor more malicious intentions, hoping that once inside, they could put the emperor into a perpetual sleep and then pin the blame on the crown prince.
In this way, they could overthrow the crown prince and put their preferred candidate on the throne.
At this moment, everyone was holding their breath and mobilizing all the manpower they could.
Therefore, the security of the emperor's palace was increased several times over, and it was heavily guarded.
Although the Empress Dowager was injured, she knew the situation was not right, and she remained restless even in the Cining Palace. Every now and then, she would send a few people to harass the Crown Prince.
When the Empress Dowager heard that the Third Prince had returned to the capital, she also made a fuss about wanting him to come to the palace for a meeting, but how could the Crown Prince possibly grant her wish at this time?
After her requests were rejected several times, the Empress Dowager could only smash a few more pieces of porcelain in the Cining Palace.
She then sent someone to pressure Lin Rong to release Luo Qiu.
However, the Empress Dowager went too far, which angered Lin Rong, who then interrogated Luo Qiu harshly overnight.
