OBS Chapter 406 Substitute
Chapter 406 Substitute
Feeling the old Taoist priest's urgency, Lu Xuan pricked up his ears.
"I've observed before that the Emperor Star is different. It's been replaced by the Pleiades of the White Tiger Constellations, and it lacks any of the Purple Star brilliance. But strangely, after the original Emperor Star fell, the Four Auxiliary Stars dimmed, and the Pleiades entered the Purple Star Constellation, it actually took on an extremely bright Emperor brilliance, as if it had taken most of the Four Auxiliary Stars!"
He was quite angry. "Xu Wenshan told me earlier that the new emperor had royal purple aura. He suspected it wasn't a demon star, so he needed to test it. But not long after testing it, he died!"
"So, this old Taoist speculates that the new emperor must have used Jiang Yuanfeng to set up a life-exchange technique. The person he exchanged his life with must be someone like the crown prince! Otherwise, there's no way that fake emperor would have the royal purple aura!"
At this moment, Lu Xuan felt something explode in his brain.
She didn't blink, but all the blood in her body seemed to explode at this moment.
She finally understood the reason that she had been unable to understand before!
She had long discovered that the emperor disliked the prince, but Jiang Yuanfeng and the emperor seemed to have had many disagreements over the prince.
Everyone was plotting to kill the prince, and Jiang Yuanfeng himself had also done it, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the Eastern Palace to remove the Yin Fu from his body. However, he didn't want him to die, and was determined to save his life!
Earlier in the secret passage, Jiang Yuanfeng had been protecting the prince, preventing the emperor from killing him, but he himself said that he could become stupid.
She was puzzled, and now, she finally found the reason!
Because he was worried that other Xuanmen people would find out, Jiang Yuanfeng forged the purple aura on the emperor. The source of the purple aura was obtained from the prince and the original emperor!
Niu San'er was about the same age as the real emperor, so if they were to exchange lives, it would have to be him and the emperor. However, since their birth dates were unknown, the probability of failure was extremely high.
Then the only way is to use the power of one of the blood relatives and let the blood relative sacrifice his or her own life as a sacrifice, so that the life can be successfully exchanged!
And Crown Prince Jiang Yan was the relative who was sacrificed!
Lu Xuan's pupils moved slightly, and he kept thinking in his mind.
In other words, it was Niu San'er who should have died. The original emperor must have discovered his infidelity, but because of the life exchange, Niu San'er survived, and the real emperor died! Then all the purple energy on the real emperor was transferred to him!
These years have passed too long, and the original owner has died, so the purple energy on Niu Saner's body has become increasingly thin. If he wants to maintain it at this time, he must find a way from other places.
Then it’s not difficult to guess.
The purple aura on Niu Saner came from Crown Prince Jiang Yan!
Jiang Yuanfeng helped him take away all the usable purple energy from the emperor first, but when a person dies, the light will go out, even if the life is exchanged, it cannot last for many years, so he had to transfer the purple energy from the blood relative who exchanged lives to protect the aura on his body.
Lu Xuan took a step back and almost stumbled and fell.
Including the formation in the imperial palace, the Qiankun Five Qi Formation makes sense!
Because he lacks the dragon yang energy, he must use the formation to support himself so that others will not notice his flaws.
Even if this formation will cause his offspring to wither and his harem to decline, from Jiang Yuanfeng's perspective, he must first maintain the appearance!
Xu Wenshan had already discovered all this!
And why did the emperor insist on making the third prince the crown prince? Because Jiang Xu was his Niu Saner's son, and the real crown prince was the child of the dead Jiang Muyao!
So...except for the prince, all the others are Niu Saner's children!
It is difficult for one tree to support the whole family. The royal bloodline has already withered away!
Seeing her body trembling and her face turning pale again, Jiang Xing couldn't help but pull her into his cloak.
"What happened?"
When the princess heard Xu Bai's name before, she was fine. How come she was so shocked in just a moment?
Lu Xuan raised her head tremblingly and looked at Jiang Xing's face that she had changed. A terrible idea sprouted in her mind.
Perhaps, she knew why Jiang Xing was the one with the most intense purple aura.
Now it seems that the only person left in the royal family who is still intact is Jiang Xing...
Lu Xuan did not answer Jiang Xing, but turned around and continued to stare at Baopuzi, who was shining with golden light in front of him.
"Master, you're right!" She wiped away the two tears that had just fallen from her face due to fear. "I've discovered that the man currently in high office is the one who replaced the true emperor. His name is Niu San'er, and he was originally just a stand-in trained by the Eastern Palace to die for the emperor!"
"Like Xu Wenshan back then, I never doubted he wasn't a true dragon, simply because he was constantly surrounded by purple energy. And now, I've gotten the answer I've been eluding from you! The purple energy he possessed was obtained by exchanging his life for the life of the True Emperor. By offering the current Crown Prince as a sacrifice, he not only successfully exchanged his life, but also stole the Crown Prince's purple energy!"
Now, Jiang Xing instantly understood what was going on.
His eyes suddenly fixed, and it felt like a huge rock shattered in his chest, causing the blood to rush all over his body.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared blankly at Lu Xuan, watching her looking into the vast void and revealing the answers to the mysteries that he could never solve under the huge conspiracy.
A huge conspiracy, a truth that has trapped him for fifteen years and made him dare not act rashly!
Just a farmer, a traitor from the Shenji Sect, and a fourth-rank official with high aspirations, the three of them joined forces and actually manipulated the entire Daliang court at their fingertips.
Everyone was fooled by them!
After hearing this, Baopuzi's eyes flashed with disappointment. He lowered his head and murmured a sneer as if in self-mockery, "It's too late. I didn't expect that you would find me so late..."
As he spoke, he looked into the vast void again and nodded in a daze. "You're right. If two people want to exchange their lives, if their birth dates are unknown or if their birth dates are not similar, the best medicine is the luck of their blood relatives. I guess the current crown prince doesn't have much time left to live..."
Although it sounded a bit depressing to say this, Lu Xuan knew that it was the truth.
But the fact does not mean that we should let things develop as they are.
The retribution that the wicked deserve and the compensation that the innocent deserve should all be taken back bit by bit!
After a while, she managed to regain some consciousness.
"Master, you died protecting the people and for the greater good of the world. You did so many good deeds in your life. I believe that's why your soul is filled with golden light. I now understand that it is all due to your merits in this life."
Baopuzi smiled helplessly and waved his hand: "What's the use? It's too late, you've come too late..."
"It's not too late!" Lu Xuan said urgently, "I will make all of this known to the world and return Daliang to its original track!"
The room was silent for a moment.
As if he had completed his mission, Lu Xuan looked at the soul in front of him that was glowing with golden light and seemed to be fading away.
Perhaps it was because there hadn't been anyone as kind in the sect since Nanny Yu, and for no apparent reason, she found herself wanting to keep Baopuzi's soul.
To confirm her thoughts, she thought for a moment and then said, "Master, can I ask you some other questions?"
"Master, please speak."
"I'd like to ask, twenty years ago, the old lady of the Song family's mansion and the wife of the Ji family came to Xuanyuan Temple to pray for blessings. You gave them both separate fortunes. You said the Song family was a family of great wealth and honor. But in reality, the Song family's title has long been stripped away and they are now struggling to make a living. And the young lady of the Ji family, who you said had bad luck, has become the empress and is the only one favored by the emperor. How do you explain all this?"
Looking at her intently, Baopuzi smiled, "Master, you shouldn't ask me this question. Your Xuanfa cultivation is superior to mine. You know the answer."
