Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 425: Bigger Powers At Play.

Hao Ren looked at the Crown Prince kneeling before him with deadpan eyes. He then looked at the side and asked, "Grandmaster Douglas, have you seen enough?"

The old man appeared on the wall of the courtyard and his face was twisted. He asked, "What the hell is going on here? He wasn't like this in the past."

Hao Ren nodded and replied, "He isn't any different now as well."

Douglas frowned and the young man turned to look at the Crown Prince before he said, "If you came out on your own, I will not pursue this matter, but if you made me move, I will destroy your entire force and I am not kidding. I despise parasites like you."

The voice was calm, but the crown prince shivered for a moment before he chuckled and said, "I dare you to kill me, and then we will see if you can walk out of here alive."

Hao Ren sighed and said, "Yin, come over."

Yin walked out of the house, she looked at Old Douglas and bowed to him in greeting before Hao Ren said, "Grandmaster Douglas, this is my daughter, Hao Yin."

The old man nodded with a faint smile and then Hao Ren said, "Open his neck and dig out the tick."

Yin frowned and she said, "I hate dealing with surgery, yet you always give me these tasks. I will tell Ma about this."

Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "You should still have some basic knowledge. I will buy you a new dress. Whatever color you want."

Yin blew a raspberry and said, "White."

Hao Ren shrugged and said, "As you command, Your Highness, now can you please extract that bug, it is moving around."

As soon as he said that, Yin took out some silver needles and flicked them onto the crown prince's neck. She took out a scalpel and asked, "Are we not going to wait for the Empress to come over? If we acted on our own, it would come back to bite."

Hao Ren sighed and said, "Grandmaster Douglas, may I trouble you to invite Her Majesty over? The thing that is causing the crown prince to act this way is a Yin Yang Gu. I will extract it right before her eyes. You can send someone else if you want to."

The old man took out a talisman and mumbled a few things before the paper shot from between his fingers and vanished in the direction of the Imperial Palace. Douglas asked, "Who could do this?"

Hao Ren looked at the old man and asked, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"

Douglas sighed and shook his head as he said, "One should not ask questions they don't want to find the answers to."

A few minutes passed, four figures appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. Hao Ren stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."

The figures belonged to the Empress and the three general. Who were followed by the old Imperial Physician who was panting a little. The empress asked with a cold face, "Grandmaster Hao, I hope that you have an explanation behind this."

Hao Ren sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince came to attack me and I only restrained him. If anything, I have the right to kill him as per the agreement earlier. Yet here you are questioning my motive."

His words directly doused the flames burning in the heart of the lady, and said, "Yin'er, dear, you can extract the tick."

Yin nodded and then she made a clean and quick incision with the scalpel and cut open the portion of the Crown Prince's nape. Then she took out a pair of forceps and expanded the bleeding incision before she used the other forceps to pinch onto something. The crown prince wailed, but Hao Ren waved his hand and the man was silenced.

Hao Ren said, "It was not the Crown Prince who was screaming, but the bug that has been manipulating him all this time."

Yin plucked out a worm that was about an inch big, and it emitted terrifying shrieks. Hao Ren held the forceps and said, "Go, ask Alka to prepare some tea for the guests, the night will be long."

Yin nodded and left the place without bothering about the people before her. Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "Have a seat, Your Majesty, let us talk."

The lady looked at her brother-in-law, and Hao Ren said, "He will be fine when he wakes up in a bit."

He flicked a pill directly into the Crown Prince's mouth and then only the Empress sat down. She looked at the obscure black worm that was wriggling between the forceps. Hao Ren said, "What you see is a Yin Gu, this thing if cultured properly can be implanted inside the target. Then gradually it will grow stronger and latch onto the nerve center of the host. Alone, this parasite is insignificant, but when coupled with the Yang Gu, this thing is the bane of even the world level cultivators."

The people were surprised, Hao Ren said, "The moment the Crown Prince came here, he wanted to kill me so that he could take over the throne from you. However, I could tell that something wasn't right, after all, had that been the case, the Crown Prince wouldn't have allowed me to heal you in the noon. So, I probed his body and discovered this little guy. This bug will only be active at night when the Yin in the surroundings is stronger. It is afraid of the sun and strong flames.

Well, so if someone has a Yang Gu in possession, they can use it to directly manipulate the host who has been planted with the Yin Gu. They can control the actions of the host from a million miles away without anyone knowing what is wrong ever."

His words caused the people to shiver, and the Empress mumbled, "Who would try to do such a thing? We have never harmed anyone."

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I have analyzed that as well, and it is very simple, that in your court there is no noble, no minister. You rely on your generals only if I am correct."

The lady nodded and Hao Ren sighed as he said, "You abolished the nobles and now they are treated the same as well. They could be the masterminds behind this ploy. However, it is still not easy to find the Yin and Yang gu like this unless there is someone who is very efficient at raising them. So, Your Majesty, do you have any suspects?"

The lady thought for a bit, she said, "Could it really be the nobles who dared to go to such lengths?"

The Imperial Physician turned to look at the generals and one of them sighed as she said, "Your Majesty, if we go by his idea, then there is only one family who could pull of something like this."

The Empress mumbled, "The Prime Minister Wang."

Hao Ren looked at them, and said, "If I kill this bug here, the person who raised it would die. Then we can extract the blood of that person from this bug and I have a way to make sure that his entire bloodline vanishes from the face of this world."

This time people were shocked. Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I am a very petty person, if someone harms me, I will make sure that they suffer a thorough defeat."

The Empress shook her head and said, "Grandmaster Hao, you don't have to use such a heavy hand. I will handle this matter myself. Thank you for saving me and my Brother-in-law."

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't be saying this, but the Crown Prince is of age, please find him a suitable candidate and settle his marriage."

The Empress didn't know what to say to this proposal all of a sudden but she nodded and then she turned to look at the Crown Prince who woke up and was looking at them all in a daze. He looked at his surroundings and said, "Where is this place? Huh, Mother, what are you doing here?"

The lady shook her head and said, "Xiao Jun, let's go back to the palace."

The young man came over to her in a subtle place. The Empress then looked up at Hao Ren and said, "Grandmaster Hao, thank you for your aid. The royal family owes you another favor."

The young man shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to say that, I only saved myself and I am grateful that you are not holding this against me."

The Empress nodded, and then the Imperial Physician stepped forward as he said, "Grandmaster Hao, can you give this bug to me?"

Hao Ren nodded and said, "Yes, you can take it, just make sure not to let it out of a sealed bottle or that would be hell."

Hao Ren had an inkling that the Empress know who was really behind all this and it was not just the former prime minister.
