Sunset, dusk.

A line of flying birds passed by in a long formation at the end of the sky. When I raised my head, a crow flew over my head and landed on the eaves of a pavilion, making a croaking sound below.

As night approaches, the red sun paints the earth with a ray of color, but this ray of color is not bright, but gives people a depressing and deep feeling.

"Boom!"

The dusk drum suddenly sounded in the distance, making those who heard it even more nervous.

"Quack!"

Lord Linghua sat on the Dharma frame, raised his head and looked through the curtain at the croaking crow.

The people who were carrying the dharma frame, the people who were following around it, and the emperor's bodyguards who were guarding Zhou, were already anxious and hurried, because the sound of the dusk drum became more and more urgent.

The leading eunuch ran in front and looked behind him more and more impatiently. He did not dare to shout loudly, as if he was afraid that the figure on the scaffold would be unhappy, so he could only shout in a voice that could be heard by a few people around him.

"Hurry, hurry up."

Fajia passed through the tall city gates, the vast square, the endless aisles, and passed through palaces one after another.

It was almost getting dark, and this hurried team seemed to be lost in the endless buildings.

Everyone finally stopped. A group of people knelt on the ground. Wu Jin took out the pedals, and the witch helped Lord Linghua get off the throne.

The eunuch stepped forward with a low voice, hunched over and not daring to look at Lord Linghua.

"Jun Linghua, please come this way."

In the distance, two eunuchs and two palace maids came over with lanterns, standing at the front and back respectively, lighting the way for Lord Linghua.

Just like that, he passed through a tall red palace door and walked along the steps into a large hall decorated with palace lanterns.

The eunuchs pushed open several doors and knelt on the ground to welcome Lord Linghua as he walked up the steps. Pairs of eyes inside looked outside, but when their eyes touched the gorgeous moiré robes, they quickly lowered their gaze.

The concubines and internal officials stood up and saluted one after another.

However, Lord Linghua's divine gaze immediately passed through the layers of bead curtains and locked onto an old man who was lying on the couch, unable to get up, groaning in pain and sweating profusely.

"Da da da!"

Lord Linghua didn't say anything, and didn't salute like the others, and walked directly forward.

The eunuchs who were surrounding the emperor and constantly wiping his sweat immediately stood up, stepped aside and stood aside. Only the beautiful concubine sitting next to the emperor stood up to pay her respects, then sat down again and whispered.

The emperor said something next to him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Linghua has arrived."

The emperor finally turned his face sideways, his mouth trembling continuously, and the wrinkles on his old face kept shaking.

I wanted to speak, but it took me a long time to say a few words weakly, which could not be heard clearly.

At this time, the concubine beside her listened carefully and then conveyed it to others.

"Your Majesty said that I wanted to entertain Lord Linghua again today because I didn't want the old illness to relapse, but it's really embarrassing for heaven and humans to see the emperor in such a posture..."

I didn’t finish what I said, probably out of embarrassment!

After that, the concubine turned aside and listened to a few more words.

"Your Majesty also said that the doctors in the palace are incompetent and are helpless. The palace is full of incompetent people who take matters into their own hands and bother Linghua Lord to make such a trip."

After saying this, the emperor stopped talking.

It sounds like it's a small matter, but looking at the emperor's appearance, it doesn't seem to be something that can be summed up in just two words.

With tears streaming down her face, the concubine stood up and saluted Lord Linghua.

"Please also ask Lord Linghua to save your majesty!"

Lord Linghua saw this scene and said.

"I'm not a doctor, why do you want me to come here?"

The concubine said: "The palace doctor said that this disease is difficult to treat in the world and only immortals can cure it. We have no way, so we took it upon ourselves to ask Lord Linghua to make this trip."

Lord Linghua: "Since it is said that it is difficult to heal in the human world, why do you say that only immortals can understand it? You are not immortals, so how can you know the mysteries of immortals?"

The eunuch on the side said at this time: "A few days ago, the emperor's old illness recurred. It was the fairy medicine presented by Xihe County that cured the emperor's old illness. But yesterday, the emperor drank wine and got caught in the rain.

, it relapsed again today.”

The concubine washed her face with tears and fell to the ground: "Jun Linghua is a celestial being, a half-human and half-immortal being. If there is really a way, please save your majesty!"

Immediately, he saw that the entire palace was filled with people kneeling in darkness. In an instant, only Lord Linghua was left standing.

Mr. Linghua could tell at a glance that this was something he did on his own initiative.

This had obviously been thought of and prepared a long time ago, and as soon as she came here, he raised her up high.

but.

Lord Linghua is no longer a witch who just walked out of the sacred mountain. In the past few days, she has seen people who are better at acting than this. She has also seen all kinds of mortals and all kinds of human hearts.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't even shake my heart. I seemed to think that this was nothing unusual.

In a daze, she seemed to understand some of Yun Zhongjun's mentality and perspective on the world.

The good, the ugly, and the evil coexist in the human body. Whether you show your true feelings or pretend to act, the gods don't care, but focus on the consequences of everything.

She was thinking: "What would happen if the emperor died at this time?"

She thought again: "Why is she here?"

The army of the Northern Dynasty has just retreated, and Lord Linghua has only been in Huajing for the second day. Under this false prosperity is a dynasty that is devastated and in crisis. If the emperor dies, at least at this time, whether it is Lord Linghua or others,

None of them are fully prepared to take over and stabilize this dynasty.

And Lord Linghua came here to confer the title of Lord of Bafang Mountain, the god of the four directions, and to take over the control of the Shinto of the entire Wu Dynasty and even the entire land of Kyushu, so that everything would be under the control of Lord Yun Zhong

middle.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor could not die at this time, at least not until the earth gods were not spread throughout most counties in the Wu Dynasty.

The emperor's serious illness is actually an opportunity for Linghua Jun to do what he wants to do. He can use this as a reason to truly implement the things and ideas he mentioned to eunuch Tao before.

Lord Linghua looked at the eunuch beside him: "When did your Majesty get sick, what are the symptoms, and what is the so-called old disease?"

The eunuch was originally hunched over to face the Emperor. After hearing Lord Linghua's question, he quickly turned towards Lord Linghua, but his posture of hunched over looking at the floor tiles did not change.

Eunuch: "Your Majesty's illness last night was from back carbuncle, but other than that..."

Lord Linghua: "Besides that."

At this time, a palace medical officer stood up: "In addition, Your Majesty was caught in some rain yesterday, and external evil invaded. It should be a severe attack of paralysis, paralysis of the five limbs and joints, making it difficult to move."

Lord Linghua: "This sounds like it is really troublesome."

The emperor of the Wu Dynasty was not in the prime of life, and the onset of illness when a person is old is naturally different from when he was young.

Most illnesses occur at the same time, and the symptoms are intertwined, making it difficult to find the root cause and even more difficult to treat.

Therefore, these palace medical officers did not know how to treat some diseases. Even if they knew how to cure them, they did not dare to prescribe medicine casually. They were afraid that if the medicine was given, the disease would not be cured and the emperor would be unable to bear it.

In the end, I could only blame Lord Linghua.

Standing in the middle of the palace, surrounded by everyone kneeling on their knees, Lord Linghua looked at the emperor's figure through the bead curtain.

The sky outside is getting darker and darker, and the lights in the palace are getting brighter and brighter, each one swaying like the hearts of hundreds of people in the palace.

Lord Linghua's shadow is projected on the floor tiles, swaying with the candlelight.

"Well!"

"Uh uh uh..."

At this time, the emperor on the bed suddenly hissed.

It looks like I can't take a breath, and I really won't be able to hold on any longer.

And with the pained hissing of the emperor, the candlelight in the palace swayed more violently, and it seemed that the hearts of everyone kneeling on the ground were trembling more violently.

At this time, it seemed that Lord Linghua had finally made a decision.

Lord Linghua turned around and looked outside.

"Open the door."

After hearing Lord Linghua say this, the concubine immediately knelt down on the ground and said.

"Thank you Lord Linghua."

Then I saw everyone in the palace moving, including eunuchs and palace maids. Figures in the palace quickly stood up and ran towards the outside.

Everyone didn't ask, and opened the doors one after another in unison.

In front of Lord Linghua, tall vermilion doors opened one after another, leading to the outside layer by layer.

But when it opened to the outermost layer, Lord Linghua shouted.

"stop!"

The sound spread to the outside.
