She was very unhappy that someone had cheated her out of habit, but she couldn't let it go on in front of the Emperor.
Angry from the bottom of her heart, she used her spirit to send a sound transmission: "A Erqi, when I hand you over to the Emperor, you will attack his soul and kill him to make an idiot of himself."
Since he wanted to take the items from her, he had to be prepared to pay the price.
"Master, this probably won't do." A Erqi said with difficulty.
Hua Ruge asked doubtfully: "Why not?"
"The Emperor has the energy of a True Dragon to protect his body. It can destroy all evils. A soul form like mine is unable to attack him." A Erqi explained.
"A person like him has such a strong aura?" Hua Ruge asked in disbelief.
"All Emperors are blessed by the heavens with a dragon aura. The only difference between them is the difference in strength, Master." A Erqi replied respectfully.
Originally, the Soul-Sealing Talisman could not injure the emperor, but since he had not dared to touch it, and now that he felt that someone had broken the curse, the emperor was going to snatch it away.
Seeing that the emperor's expression was getting worse, Hua Ruge knew that he was at a disadvantage.
Hua Shengxiong laughed complacently. He really wanted Hua Ruge to go against the Emperor, no matter how capable she was, she wouldn't be able to live.
Hua Ruge clenched his teeth and thought, there will be a day when I make you two old things vomit a hundred times over.
As she thought of this, a smile appeared on her face as she said to the emperor,
"This commoner was just too worried about the emperor's safety. That's why I was so anxious. How could I not be willing, and ?"
The eunuch pushed open the door and interrupted Hua Ruge who was busy making up his excuse.
The emperor was very happy when he was suddenly interrupted. He said unhappily, "Didn't I say that no matter who it is, no one is allowed to disturb me?"
"Your Majesty, Battle King wishes to meet you. We have been waiting outside the study for a while now." The eunuch replied.
"Why didn't you say so earlier when your royal brother was here? Quick, invite him in." The Emperor spoke, his voice eager.
But when the eunuch mentioned the Battle King, Hua Ruge actually had a cold glint flashing across his eyes.
Looks like Tuoba Rui's power had long been feared by the old emperor. Once he found the chance, Tuoba Rui would be in danger.
Hua Ruge's expression did not change, and he secretly took note of it.
Tuoba Rui was draped with a black cloak, and his aura was stern and cold like an immortal. He gradually walked in and brought the cold air outside into the warm room, causing people to uncontrollably shiver.
"My younger brother greets you, imperial brother." Tuoba Rui bowed in greeting, but did not kneel.
Hua Ruge thought in his heart.
"Greetings Battle King." Hua Shengxiong also bowed.
His rank was only slightly lower than Tuoba Rui's, so he did not kneel.
"My royal brother, please excuse yourself. Why didn't you get someone to inform me earlier? How about it? The wind and snow outside are freezing my body." The Emperor came out from behind the desk and said with concern.
"Thank you for your benevolence, royal brother. I, your servant, will listen outside. You want the Soul-Sealing Talisman?" Tuoba Rui raised his eyes and asked with a calm expression.
Hua Ruge suddenly understood, no wonder he appeared at this critical juncture, it was actually related to him.
When she tilted her head to look at him, she could only see the side of his face. Even when he was talking to the emperor, he had a calm expression.
"Does royal brother know these Soul-Sealing Talisman?" The emperor asked without batting an eyelid.
"Not only does Chendi know this is in Chendi's hands." Tuoba Rui said.
As some thoughts passed through Hua Ruge's mind, his body slightly stiffened.
No way, is he here to help?
"Why is it in your hands?" The Emperor frowned, slightly puzzled.
"Chendi did not tell you that Chendi and Hua Ruge got to know each other very early on, and that she gifted it to Chendi. Or else, does royal brother think that with her little cultivation, she can resist a curse?"
He spoke slowly and firmly, making people feel that he was not lying.
The imperial brother narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.
Hua Shengxiong knew that it was time for him to appear on stage, so he stepped forward and said: "Battle King and Hua Ruge are actually acquainted, I have never heard of anyone mentioning this before."
"Does This King need to report to the Duke of Hua, who I know?" Tuoba Rui's voice was low, causing everyone's hearts to tighten.
The gaze that was like a dark abyss was fixated on Hua Shengxiong's body, causing Hua Shengxiong to quickly lower his head and say, "I don't dare."
Tuoba Rui gave a cold snort, "It's good that you know that you don't dare, but don't be so arrogant and lose your sense of propriety when doing things."
This was a clear warning.
Hua Shengxiong swallowed his saliva. Even if he was used to being arrogant, he would not dare to say anything in front of Tuoba Rui.
Although Tuoba Rui was a junior, his strength was unfathomable and no one dared to easily offend him.
Hua Ruge wanted to cover his mouth, this person did not care about the situation at all, the Emperor's men were just reprimanding him like that, making him unable to step down from the stage.
"If little brother doesn't come, little brother won't know that royal brother is looking for this talisman. Since royal brother wants it, little brother will give it to you with both hands." Tuoba Rui said again.
The emperor's expression eased a bit, but he still said, "Since it is my younger brother's item, how can I snatch it away from others? Furthermore, that curse is ferocious, I might not be able to take it."
He said that, but in truth, he was still afraid of Tuoba Rui.
"Royal brother is underestimating himself, but this thing is really powerful." Tuoba Rui did not give any more.
Hua Shengxiong clenched his teeth, he finally understood the situation, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Damn it!
When did she know Battle King?
Tuoba Rui's attitude was already very obvious. If he did not want to fall out, he could only let Hua Ruge go.
And now was not the time to fall out.
The emperor quickly let out a sigh of relief, and Tuoba Rui brought Hua Ruge out of the palace and onto a palanquin.
Tuoba Rui looked at Hua Ruge's furious look and said with a pained heart: "Aren't you fine now? Don't be so angry and ruin your body."
"I'm not angry with them. I say, Tuoba Rui, you don't have a brain, right?" Hua Ruge looked at him angrily.
Tuoba Rui was scolded for no reason, but his face showed shock for a moment.
Did he do something wrong?
He had saved her, saved her precious treasure, what else was there that he hadn't taken care of?
"It's just a mere talisman. I'll just take it out if they force me. Why are you joining in the fun?" Do you know that the Emperor is already very wary of you? If you continue to show off like this, he will find a chance to get rid of you.
Hua Ruge continued to retort.
Tuoba Rui pulled her hand, and fiercely pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly, and said with a face full of joy: "Are you saying that your treasure is not as important as me?"
The tip of Hua Ruge's nose was close to his, so much so that she could clearly see the wild joy in his eyes.
For someone so high and mighty like him, who didn't put anything in his eyes, how could he be so happy when he said something he cared about?
"Little Ge." he whispered.
Hua Ruge's ears turned red from his hot breathing.
"No matter what you pay, I will make sure you won't be harmed in the slightest." He lovingly held her face, speaking very earnestly.
"Don't play dumb. What are you going to do with it?" Hua Ruge endured his temptation.
Tuoba Rui reached out and pinched her nose: "Do you know that you look just like a housewife right now?"
"If you want to say it, don't say it." Hua Ruge turned his head and ignored him.
Tuoba Rui straightforwardly let her sit on his lap, slashing her face so that she would look at him, and said forcefully: "Just look at me and say it."
Hua Ruge looked at him helplessly and said, "Speak."
"Brother Huang has been afraid of me for many years. It can be said that there's not a moment when he doesn't want to kill me, but Daozheng needs me, so he wouldn't do that." Tuoba Rui said.
"But aren't you afraid that he'll be forced to kill you?" Hua Ruge still had doubts.
"Before my royal father died, he asked us to help his royal brother stabilize his foundation. I stayed to help him, it was just so that I would not disappoint his royal father's request. I did what I had to do, if he went too far, I would not sit still and wait for death."
His expression was calm, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
"You're really confident in yourself." Hua Ruge said.
Tuoba Rui looked at her and said, "If I can't even protect myself, what's there to say about protecting you?"
Without waiting for Hua Ruge to say anything, he once again pulled her and said: "It's not easy to get out, go eat at my place."
"Can I say that I'm not going? Hall of Sages is waiting to bestow me the title. " Hua Ruge asked weakly.
Tuoba Rui pulled back his face, "No way."
"Eat then eat, what is there to be angry about?" Hua Ruge muttered.
She had already made up her mind. In any case, those people who were going to the Battle King Manor would not blame her.
Tuoba Rui felt his heart soften when he saw that she looked like she was angry at her daughter-in-law. He hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
At the same time, in the royal study.
The emperor scolded Hua Shengxiong in anger: "Why didn't you investigate the location of the thing before coming to report? "Are you sincerely angry with me?"
As he spoke, he smashed a large vase behind him onto the ground.
Hua Shengxiong's heart was thrown into panic as he kneeled on the ground and said, "This subject knows his wrongs. I really didn't know that Hua Ruge even knew Battle King."
Both he and the emperor knew clearly in their hearts that today's matter was a variable and that the Battle King was helping Hua Ruge. That thing was basically's body.
Otherwise, why didn't she just say that she was in the hands of the Battle King previously?
However, the emperor was filled with anger. Who else could he scold but Hua Shengxiong?
"I don't know, I don't know. You don't know anything about the reason why This Emperor raised you." The Emperor continued to scold.
After all, Hua Shengxiong was an important subject of the imperial court.
The emperor continued to curse as he pounded on the table, "You used your Hall of Sages yesterday, and now you've made us suffer such humiliation. Tell me, what are you thinking?"
"This official knows his wrongs." Other than admitting his wrongs, Hua Shengxiong didn't know what else to say.
He had searched for a long time, but couldn't find out that Hua Ruge was actually protected by the Battle King.
"Go back and meditate for half a month. Reflect on it, I don't want to see you!" The Emperor waved him off.
Hua Shengxiong was helpless, last time when he was scolded, many ministers took a wait-and-see attitude, but now that it had not even been a day, he closed his eyes and thought about it, the influence on the Hua Family's reputation was not small.
