According to common sense, when you have an audience with the emperor, you should go outside the palace before the eunuch goes in to report, so as not to keep your majesty waiting for too long.
But the situation is different now.
The original identity of Di Xin was so mysterious that neither the emperor nor the old eunuch could treat him as an ordinary Dali person.
This is an equal relationship.
And based on the old emperor's current condition, although the situation has improved after using coal stoves for heating, it is still much worse than ordinary people.
He was not always in the mood to see anyone.
If after Di Xin passes away, but cannot see each other due to the old emperor's condition, he will have no choice but to return to the side hall and continue waiting.
In order to prevent him from making this trip in vain or even more, it was natural for the old eunuch to go and check on the old emperor's condition first.
The left and right side halls and the bedroom are not far apart, so there is not much time difference.
As for waiting for the old emperor to recover and then go to the palace to see him another day, that is impossible.
Taking over the identity of a prince in a way that no one knows, and also gaining access to artistic memories, this is a bit too scary in everyone's eyes.
Therefore, although the old emperor would not take action against him until his identity was exposed, it was impossible to let him out of the palace until certain doubts were solved.
If the old emperor's mental state continues to be bad, Di Xin will have to wait in the palace.
If one day doesn't work, just two days; if two days doesn't work, then three days.
In short, until the old emperor was willing to let him go, he could only be kept under house arrest in the palace in disguise.
While taking a bath, Emperor Xin had already noticed that at least six court ministers were locking the side hall.
And this does not include the old eunuch who has been waiting beside him.
The seven second-level experts had the same number, but their overall strength was much stronger than that of the team that had been chasing him a few days ago.
Di Xin didn't know whether to be happy or otherwise when he was treated with such dignity even though he acted like a useless person with all his foundation destroyed to the outside world.
However, he had no intention of breaking into the palace, so he was not nervous.
When the old emperor exposed his identity and did not immediately jump out from behind the screen with three hundred swords and axes to chop him, Di Xin felt that his opportunity had come.
The old emperor is a target that can be won over.
In order not to push the old emperor into the opposite direction, some things naturally needed to be confessed.
Although the old emperor was only a local resident of the Ancient Moon Realm, the throne of Dali was enough for him to stand on an equal footing with all the realm lords under the current conditions.
When the old emperor realized some truth with his own power, he could no longer use the same methods to fool children.
Openness and honesty are a must.
But as for how open and honest it is, it depends on the subsequent communication between the two people.
…
Along the corridor, Di Xin followed the old eunuch and came to the entrance of the emperor's palace again.
He took off his cloak and handed it over to the little eunuch guarding the door again.
Then, after waiting for the old eunuch's announcement again, he once again stepped into the furnace-like palace.
Even though he had already felt it once, the first thing Di Xin felt after entering the palace was still heat.
But because he had already experienced it once, although he felt like burning, he was more accustomed to it than the last time.
The old eunuch who came out again did not follow Di Xin into the hall again.
He waved slightly at the door of the palace. I don't know which batch of eunuchs and maids were in the palace today. After filling the new coal into the coal stove, they left the palace in an orderly manner with the ashes swept out and sweat all over their bodies.
In the palace, Di Xin and the old emperor were left alone again.
Di Xin stepped into the bed and discovered that there was an extra seat here.
"Thank you very much."
Di Xin smiled slightly and sat down without waiting for the old emperor to speak.
Old Emperor:......
As a habit, when I opened my mouth to offer a seat, my words got stuck in my throat.
After being stunned for a moment, the old emperor came to his senses, chuckled helplessly, and went directly to the topic.
"I wonder if you can answer my question just now?"
A frightening light seemed to appear in his cloudy eyes, and he asked: "Besides this world, is there really another world?"
"Is that world the upper world where immortals live as mentioned in the classics?"
Di Xin shook his head slightly and said: "There are indeed other worlds, and I don't know one yet, but there is no so-called upper world of immortals in the Ancient Moon Realm."
"What's the meaning?"
The old emperor was really confused this time.
But the first thing he asked was this question: "Also, what does the Ancient Moon Realm mean?"
Di Xin was not impatient and slowly explained: "The Ancient Moon Realm is the world you live in."
The previous development of the ancient moon world was still limited to this land. There was no concept of planets and universes, and the idea of a round sky and a square earth was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In fact, the entire universe, including this planet, falls within the scope of the ancient moon world.
If he even explained these things, it would only bring more doubts to the old emperor.
In order to prevent some temporarily unnecessary knowledge from confusing the old emperor even more, he stopped short of explaining the Ancient Moon Realm.
"Among them, including Da Li, the surrounding barbarians and even the Western lands far away on the other side, all belong to the category of the Ancient Moon Realm."
After the old emperor understood, he continued: "You said that the Immortal Upper Realm, if it exists, is also a small world belonging to the Ancient Moon Realm."
"But there are no real immortals in the Ancient Moon World, so there is no corresponding small world."
The old emperor asked: "Then where did you come from?"
Di Xin said: "We?"
"We come from the same big world as the Ancient Moon Realm, so we are not affiliated."
Di Xin thought for a moment, then raised his hand to take a picture of a few pieces of coal that had not yet been filled in next to the nearest coal stove.
A magician who uses his mind to interfere with reality.
This is not a magical power, but an ordinary application after the power of the soul is strong.
With the power of his soul, Di Xin controlled a few pieces of coal to float in front of the old emperor.
"These coals are like big worlds. They are arranged disorderly in the entire void sea, without any connection or affiliation with each other."
"Even if one world disappears, it will not interfere with the operation of the other world."
He said: "Only creatures that have transcended the big world can cross the void sea and interact with other big worlds."
The old emperor did not ask what the Void Sea was. With his wisdom, after knowing the concept of the Ancient Moon Realm, he could easily understand the general meaning of the Void Sea by drawing inferences.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: "According to your statement, being able to transcend a large world should have the ability to navigate the world."
Di Xin nodded: "We generally call this kind of existence a Realm Lord."
The old emperor continued to ask; "So, whether it is you or other beings who occupy other people's bodies, they are all realm masters?"
Di Xin nodded again and corrected something: "To be precise, we are just a clone of the Realm Lord!"
