Chapter 229 Lightning Strike
Three days passed in a flash, and the important officials of the court gathered at the gate of the Yangxin Palace again. This time, the Eighth Elder and his wife were also summoned.

Old Eighth was still unable to walk, so the Ministry of Industry provided him with a small wheelchair that even a woman like Guo Luoluo could push.

The concubines in the harem, headed by Yihuan, also put on makeup according to their ranks, looking serious and solemn.

Lao Jiu walked past Lao Ba slowly and without stopping, as if the person sitting there was an irrelevant person.

Lao Ba sighed: "Ninth brother, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Ba. I should die later than you, my brother." Lao Jiu blurted out.

Guo Luoluo glared at him angrily: "How do you talk to your brother?"

"Ninth brother is a prince of the first rank. I wonder what your title is, eighth sister-in-law?" The tenth brother asked from behind.

Guo Luoluo was speechless, and the eighth brother took over the conversation: "It's your eighth sister-in-law's fault. As an elder brother, you should apologize to your two younger brothers."

"Forget it, you guys take care of yourselves." The Tenth Master muttered and pulled the Ninth Master and the Thirteenth Master to stand together.

Master Mingjue put on his abbot's robes and slowly walked into the hall. The discussions in the room gradually disappeared.

Yinzhen said, "The imperial mausoleum caught fire a few days ago. I felt deeply that our ancestors had given us a warning. Fortunately, Master Mingjue was here and predicted the evil star in advance. I know you must be thinking in your hearts, how can you believe the theory of celestial signs?"

"I am also well-read. Starting from Zhuge Kongming, the art of Qimen Dunjia and Xingxiu became popular. I think we can neither believe everything nor not believe it, so I ask you to be a witness."

"Master, you have calculated that the evil star is now in the palace. I think it is not an unknown palace maid or eunuch, so I have invited all the palace masters to come. Now I ask the master to perform a ritual to bring down the punishment from heaven and put an end to the evil star's disaster."

When Mingjue heard this, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I am willing to use my entire life's power and merits to help the emperor eliminate this disaster."

Guo Luoluo's face was filled with defeat. This was not the script she expected. The emperor began to eliminate the evil star with such fanfare, and that evil star certainly could not be Ulanara.

Lao Ba felt the force on his shoulder and patted Guo Luoluo's hand to comfort her.

The fourth brother didn't want to be branded as someone who harmed his brothers, so he just found a high-sounding hat for himself.

Master Mingjue sat on a cushion, muttering to himself. As his chanting became louder and louder, Yihuan felt a breeze and looked up at the sky.

The sky seemed clear just now, but now the sun has hidden in the clouds and the sky is overcast.

"Monster! Show yourself!" Master Mingjue suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily.

A thick lightning bolt struck across the sky. Yihuan subconsciously closed her eyes and suddenly heard a woman's angry shout.

"do not want!"

Suddenly, the aroma of meat flashed through my nose, and a burnt smell spread. I half opened my eyes and saw that Lao Ba, who was in a wheelchair, was struck by lightning. He was shivering, and the light in his eyes was slowly disappearing.

Guo Luoluo rushed over and there was another loud noise in the sky. The two people who were very close to him were not spared and were struck by lightning again. This time, both of them were covered with sparks.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. The sparks spread quickly along the corners of their clothes and soon engulfed the two people hugging each other.

Guo Luoluo was still conscious. She laughed loudly: "I am the Demon Star. Hahaha, do you think there is only one Demon Star? Hahaha, Queen..."

Honghui frowned and was about to speak out to stop him.

Yinzhen took out a sharp dagger from his bosom and threw it out with force, hitting Guo Luoluo in the chest. She immediately vomited blood and could not speak a word. In front of everyone, the Eighth Brother and his wife died.

"Burn it." Yinzhen ordered, looking at the two people who had turned into charcoal.

It’s strange to say, but after the death of Old Eight and his wife, the clouds cleared and the moon became bright, and the weather gradually became clear again, as if the lightning and thunder just now were an illusion.

"Your Majesty, the evil star has been destroyed. I need to go back and practice seclusion to atone for my crime of leaking the secrets." Master Mingjue chanted the Buddha's name again, turned around and walked out of the palace.

"Old Nine, you lead the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue to renovate the imperial mausoleum to honor the spirits of our ancestors."

"My brother obeys the order."

"Okay, my dear ministers, you have watched the excitement for quite some time, so please go away."

Yihuan was the last one to stay. She looked at the wheelchair that was left there and wanted to touch it out of curiosity.

"Don't move!" Yinzhen said quickly, holding Yihuan's hand. "You dare to touch anything. Su Peisheng, send someone to destroy this thing."

"So the trick is in the wheelchair." Yihuan suddenly realized.

"You have a very flexible mind."

"Then how did the emperor know that the situation would change?"

"If the Imperial Astronomical Observatory can't even predict the weather accurately, then you can all go home and retire. I won't support people who only eat for free."

"What's going on with the evil star? Your Majesty, can you explain it to me this time?" Yihuan was still a little puzzled. She was a little concerned about Guo Luoluo's last unfinished sentence. Although everything seemed reasonable, it was very absurd overall, so absurd that it could be written into a storybook.

"Well, it's probably that the Eighth Brother thought of a way to frame me... that I am an evil star and made my throne unstable. I just took advantage of the other party's strength." Yinzhen looked at Yihuan and swallowed the words he wanted to ask.

"Really?" Yihuan felt something was wrong. She didn't ask any more questions and kept the doubt in her heart, preparing to go back and ask Honghui. Honghui always told her everything.

"We've finished watching this big show. I'm a little hungry. Let's go back and have dinner." Yinzhen took Yihuan for a walk back to Yikun Palace and took a nap before leaving.

Honghui received Yihuan's message and hesitated for a while before finally finding an opportunity to come.

"Honghui, please talk to mother about what is going on with this evil star. Is it related to me?" Yihuan asked straight to the point.

Honghui shook his head: "How could my mother think so? This demon star is just a means for the emperor to get rid of my eighth uncle. It is completely nonsense."

"Honghui, you have never lied to your mother since you were a child. It's the same this time, right?" Yihuan stared at Honghui and continued to ask.

"Mother! You are thinking wrongly. If you don't believe me, just ask the Emperor!" Honghui refuted again and again.

"You just touched your nose three times. It was the same when you took the blame for the little wolf. Honghui, you are really not good at lying." Yihuan looked at her child, who had grown up with her. She could tell at a glance whether he was telling a lie or not.

Honghui was silent for a moment, and suddenly his eyes turned red: "Mother, you are my mother, you were, you are, and you will be in the future."

After saying that, he walked away quickly.

Yihuan was stunned for a long while, and suddenly her eyes widened. What was this kid talking about? Did he know that I was not the original Ulanara Yihuan!
But how is this possible? !
