() In the inner palace, where the palace is, the setting sun sets and the afterglow slants to the west.

In the place in front of the palace that has not yet been built, there are already about three to four hundred palace maids and eunuchs standing there. The number of these beauties in palace costumes is smaller, but the largest number are the eunuchs from the Yellow Gate. Liu Jian walked through these people below several times, shaking his head.

He turned his head and returned to the tall eunuch.

Master B is right, there are three or four people who have disappeared, and the Zajia family can't find them."

"Bring him, her, and these two people into the palace and let the imperial doctor check their bodies."

Liu Jian said lightly, but the eunuch and palace maid who was named trembled slightly. Eunuch Xi shouted in a low voice. The two of them walked towards the entrance of the hall in a panic, with several guards controlling the left and right. At this time, the emperor was already surrounded by people.

A master inside, take very strict precautions.

"Happy Eunuch," Liu Jian did not rush back to the palace, but instead talked to the chief eunuch in the palace, "I am just a commoner. Although my emperor prefers to be called sir, I do not want to get involved in disputes.

中. I said this, my father-in-law should understand. "Don't worry, sir, the Zajia family belongs to the emperor." But the father-in-law Xi smiled slightly, saying that you don't have to worry too much. The emperor is young, and there are cliques in the court watching, Mr.

If you can assist the emperor, it will be a blessing to the country and the country. You will be given the title of wife and son, and you will establish an immortal reputation."

Although people's hearts were separated from each other, Liu Jian did not believe this person's words. This kind of drama of palace fighting was too demanding on the brain, and he felt that it was better to get drunk and lie on the lap of a beautiful woman.

"Please," Liu Jian made a Jianghu gesture, and Eunuch Xi shook his head, and the two of them led each other into the hall.

The little emperor walked around anxiously, waiting for the doctor's results.

The old imperial doctor with long white hair narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fingers placed on the wrist of the palace maid named by Liu Jian trembled slightly, as if he was diagnosing the pulse. "The breath is frivolous, the pulse is disordered, the blood is not smooth; the tongue coating is dark

Purple, blood in the throat means ulceration of the lungs and organs; life is not long."

The palace maid's face was pale, but she was also very miserable. She leaned on the desk and started crying.

Is this old Chinese medicine doctor reliable? How could it be so serious? Liu Jian frowned slightly, and then made some guesses. The person who gave the poppy must have bad intentions. If there is some slow poison mixed in it, it is possible.

.

The little emperor asked directly: "Is this caused by smoking this substance?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded and said: "If there are no other hidden diseases, it must be caused by this substance. Your Majesty, I have not been in the palace for the past few months, why are so many people taking this substance? This substance can be used as medicine, but ordinary people are not allowed to smoke it at will.

If you become addicted over time and cannot quit, your life may be in danger if you are physically weak."

These old guys always talk like this in front of everyone. Although their tone is respectful, they are more preachy, which may not be the duty of a minister. But at this moment, the little emperor's attention is on the boxes of 'rouge boxes'

, there was gradually some anger in his eyes, and he walked around there with his hands behind his back.

Liu Jian just breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he had nothing to do with himself. It was just that the emperor was angry and his body was scattered hundreds of miles away. He didn't know what the little emperor would do.

The entire hall was quiet, except for the deliberately suppressed sobs and the gradually gentle footsteps.

"Sir, you really saved me this time." The little emperor walked for a long time and then sighed with emotion, "Today, this incident has dampened my interest, so I can't get together with you anymore, so I'm going to go now.

, I will reward you again tomorrow."

"Common people, please retire." Liu Jian bowed down and bowed, then lowered his head and walked towards the palace door. Looking at the hundreds of palace ladies and eunuchs gathered outside the palace, he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. So he turned around and shouted: "Common people, I have something to report!"

The emperor, whose face was ashen and about to become angry, had not yet spoken, but was pushed back by Liu Jian's shouting. He could only say with a slightly calm face: "Sir, just say it, I listen."

"When destroying this thing, use lime instead of open fire." Liu Jian did not say this specifically for the purpose. Since the old imperial doctor knew about this thing, he naturally also knew how to destroy it. "The land of Lingnan is close to Nanyang.

I am afraid that the thing has spread to the local area, and local officials should be ordered to completely ban it. Anyone who smokes it will not necessarily die. As long as the person is pure and innocent, he can borrow this thing."

After saying this, he bowed to leave again. The emperor's face had become much kinder, and no longer looked like he was furious like Fang Cai.

Eunuch Xi gave Liu Jian a thumbs up, thinking it was self-evident, and Liu Jian walked out slowly, not having much nostalgia for it. But after walking a few steps, he heard a female voice calling him softly,

Let him just look sideways and wait. Sir," Princess Qingping bowed slightly to Liu Jian, doing the courtesy of a lady. Liu Jian returned the favor without showing too much respect. After all, she was a beautiful and lovely woman.

"Princess, I don't know what's going on."

"Sir, you have saved my life this time, so you are waiting here specifically to thank me. The thief who paid tribute to me should be punished."

Princess Qingping seemed to be itching her teeth with hatred when she spoke, which made Liu Jian couldn't help but feel happy. This princess, who has passed the age of leaving the court but still hasn't recruited a consort, is quite cute. "It is inconvenient for ordinary people to talk about palace affairs.

If the princess talks about romance and poetry, ordinary people can handle it."

"This is what the gentleman said. A gentleman should act on his word. It would be great if he came to my palace tomorrow and said some poems."

Liu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He looked at His Royal Highness the Princess who was feeling proud for a while, but he could only say: "It depends on whether the Emperor will let the common people go. Your Highness is still addicted to smoking. He should exercise more restraint on weekdays and wait until he quits."

, then you will have no worries.”

"I understand," Princess Qingping smiled softly, but unconsciously changed her title, "Then sir, he will come to see me more often. If I die soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to him recite poems and lyrics anymore."

Liu Jian couldn't help but blink, seeing what this princess meant, but did she fall in love with him? He wished he could slap himself in the face, so that he could have a handsome body, and it had become his body's instinct to touch women and girls. This golden lotus could be touched at will.

The person you provoked was the emperor's biological sister. She was so expensive that she would definitely make herself uncomfortable by bringing her home.

"Sir, please pay more attention when walking in the capital," Princess Qingping suddenly lowered her voice and came close to Liu Jian to say something. This action fell into the eyes of the emperor who was looking here in the palace, and it seemed too intimate.

"It's best to bring more guards. Don't mess up the villain's plot. Tonight, sir, I will go back. Tomorrow I will ask the emperor to choose some guards for you."

"So, thank you for your kindness, princess." Liu Jian gave him a respectful salute. The princess quickly helped her, and put her jade hand on Liu Jian's arm. Feeling the softness of the little hand, she caught the little ones who were evasive and did not dare to look directly.

With eyes wide open, Liu Jian decisively turned his head away.

This is not a peach blossom debt, it came too soon. Thank you.

After leaving the palace gate and sitting on the soft sedan, I felt a chill on my neck and my palms were covered in cold sweat. If I accidentally fell into someone's conspiracy... the consequences are self-evident.

It was getting late, and the lanterns were already starting to go on. There was a busy market not far from the palace gate, and tourists were constantly coming and going at night.

The bearer carried Liu Jian and walked quickly. Maybe he was hungry after waiting all day, but not long after walking, Liu Jian, who calmed down, felt something strange.

There seems to be no movement outside...

Just as he was about to open the curtains to see where he had gone, he felt the soft sedan shake and fall to the ground, shaking him a bit.

Is there something wrong? Liu Jian opened the curtains and saw a cold light coming straight towards him. The hair on his body stood up unconsciously. But he reacted very quickly. He didn't feel that something was right, so he mobilized his inner energy to keep coming back. At this moment, he didn't do anything.

Fearful, he retracted his neck, stamped his feet suddenly, and his body rose into the sky in the sedan chair, smashing the soft sedan into pieces.

The four bearers holding knives were knocked back by the flying planks, and Liu Jian jumped half a foot, spun around in the air, and landed on the roof of a shop on one side.

Luo Yu Qinghong is a light kung fu method that has long since disappeared in the martial arts world, but Zhang Qing is extremely good at it, so he naturally taught it to his only junior disciple.

As if he were flying, he kept his composure. When Liu Jian was flying, he did not fall into the mundane world. That kind of mundane aura made the four "carriages" couldn't help but exclaim. "The wind is tight, pull!"

"With your level, you still engage in assassination?"

Liu Jian took out a folding fan from his arms and stood on the roof, laughing. The four people below looked at each other, turned around and ran to the side.

"Are you leaving?" Liu Jian snorted, flicked his folding fan, and several black lights chased the four people away. Then they heard several miserable howls, and the running people fell to the ground one after another, holding their left legs and shaking.

There were several fan bones inserted into their legs. Liu Jian usually thought about a lot of troubles about hidden weapons. Apart from being biased against flying needles, he was quite sophisticated in other matters.

Liu Jian raised the corner of his robe and used Qing Kung Fu to lower it. "Haha, I must have asked who took the photo of you, and you also..."

"Humph!" The four of them groaned in unison, and suddenly a trace of black blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths. Their bodies twitched, and they immediately fell to the ground. This was not the end, and they heard a squeaking sound, and the four people lying on the ground

White smoke billowed out from the person's body, like lime dissolved in water, and soon only his empty clothes were left fluttering in the wind.

Dead? No bones left?

Suicide is so professional? Wang Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel chills all over. Who could train four such dead warriors? Their martial arts were mediocre but they were very cruel to themselves. It was a rare feat.

He looked at the surrounding area and saw that it was a shop area near the city gate. It was deserted at this time. Liu Jian shook his head, put away the folding fan with a few missing ribs, and returned to Yuecheng to find a blacksmith to make it.

After a while, you can still use it gracefully.
