Chapter 224 Frost
Lu Li, who was sleeping, had no idea what was happening outside.
Lu Li was stunned by the sudden change in the atmosphere of the palace.
Two days ago, the old emperor held a banquet to celebrate his birthday. Not long after the event, the old emperor suffered a stroke.
In fact, it was not traceable. In Lu Li's eyes, those pills containing mercury poisons and heavy metals exceeding the standard were sent to the Qianqing Palace in waves. After taking the pills, the old emperor felt that he was okay again, and the enchanting concubine coaxed the emperor. Drinking and having fun, no matter what you do, you are repeatedly jumping on the edge of death.
The Taoist man and the two Taoist boys, who were still very prosperous, were dragged out and beheaded when the emperor fell. Now their souls are on the way to drink Meng Po soup.
There was a big change in the palace, and no one dared to move. Chang Le and a group of envoys who were about to return to the fiefdom were directly detained, but no news was spread.
The old emperor suffered a stroke in his concubine's bed on the night he took the elixir. The news was concealed in time. The prince used the excuse of inviting everyone to participate in the spring hunt in half a month and asked people attending the birthday banquet from all over the place to stay.
This is also reasonable. The vassal king and the small subordinate countries have been watching with eager eyes. When they learn about the old emperor's stroke, they may take advantage of the chaos in the palace to fish in troubled waters and disturb the peace in the court.
The envoys didn't know what was going on, but it was a trip at public expense, and the Chu State still served them well with good food and drinks, so just stay.
Changle lived in the palace and sensed something unusual from the nervous expressions of the palace residents and the news that the old emperor did not attend the morning court.
The old emperor was not very diligent and often missed work in the morning. The next day, all the ministers suddenly learned that the emperor was ill and that the prince was supervising the country, and they felt that something was wrong.
I'm afraid things are going to change in the palace.
According to the rules, Chang Le had to visit the old emperor. As soon as she stepped into the Qianqing Palace, Prime Minister Ji stepped into the Yangxin Palace where the prince handled government affairs.
Changle lifted the heavy curtains, and the emperor lying on the bed had his mouth crooked and his eyes wide open, as if he could not rest in peace even after death.
Changle sat down by the couch and asked softly: "Grandpa Huang, are you okay?"
"Woooooooo..."
The old emperor's speech was unclear, as if he wanted to say something, but what came out was only a vague whine.
At this time, the eunuch came up with a bowl of dark medicine, and the bitter taste could be smelled from a distance.
Chang Le glanced at it, stepped away, and said comfortingly: "Grandpa Huang, you will definitely get well soon."
The eunuch put the spoon filled with medicine to the old emperor's lips. The old emperor suddenly became very excited, and kept saying "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo] [-
He dodged, but the medicine couldn't be fed in, and it spilled all over his chest. He choked, and his saliva dripped down crookedly.
The majesty of being an emperor cannot be seen at all.
The eunuch quickly put down the medicine bowl, wiped the dirt with a handkerchief, and earnestly advised: "Your Majesty, you have to drink the medicine to get better!
This medicine was prepared by the prince under the eyes of the imperial doctor, and he has tried it with a silver needle. You can rest assured that as long as you drink it, you will definitely be able to recover as before."
The old emperor was tired from struggling and was panting, but his whole body was still resisting the bowl of medicine. The eunuch dutifully fed the emperor the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, the old emperor was tired and closed his eyes tiredly. The eunuch helped him rest.
Seeing this, Chang Le said goodbye: "Grandpa Huang, please take care of yourself and have a good rest. Chang Le will come see you another day."
The old emperor who used to be so majestic was now paralyzed on the bed unable to do anything. This scene made Changle unforgettable for a long time. She left the Qianqing Palace with a heavy heart, and after a while, she walked side by side with Prime Minister Ji.
Chang Le walked slowly and silently. Prime Minister Ji looked sideways and said, "Princess, are you bored in the palace?"
Changle lowered his head and whispered: "I want to go home."
Prime Minister Ji was silent for a moment, then raised a smile and said: "Princess, the night view of the capital is also very lively, you can enjoy it."
Changle tilted his head: "Master Prime Minister, are you with me?"
"If you are the princess..." Facing those expectant eyes, Prime Minister Ji said warmly, "Of course."
…
Autumn is almost over, and the temperature in the underground palace, which is already low, has become even colder.
Sun Liling was trembling, and the rumbling outside had not stopped yet. It seemed that she would not be able to make the next move for a while.
They were sitting in the aisle. Opposite was the main tomb chamber, where the coffins were placed. On the left and right sides were the east and west chambers, as well as the ear chamber niches, etc.
Sun Liling took a look, and saw that it was full of cultural relics that were used to punish people. Every time she took a look, she would have a thrilling feeling of wearing a luxurious bracelet the next second.
The melon fields do not accept shoes, the plums do not trim their hair, Chu Hanxing has not moved, and Sun Liling does not dare. She even feels that it is a sin for her to stay here.
First of all, this is someone else's cemetery, just like a home. If someone breaks into the home for no reason, everyone will feel unhappy. It can be punished as a home invasion and robbery.
The second point is that this tomb is so large and has many burial objects. It is definitely not the tomb of a small person. It is very old and has definitely high historical value. If she moves around and steps on the mechanism and destroys the tomb, then she is
sinner.
There must have been an archaeological team conducting rescue excavations to make such a big noise about the cemetery collapsing. With them here, it would be difficult to tell by then.
From aspects such as life-changing, it can be seen that Sun Liling is a superstitious person. In addition, the underground palace is cold, which makes her feel a sinister feeling on her back. So she clasped her hands and murmured in a low voice: "We didn't break in on purpose, big brother and big sister."
Please do not blame me if there is any offense..."
Sun Liling kept mumbling, and Chu Hanxing summoned Chu Bai. The moment he saw her, Chu Bai jumped into her palm, and every hair exuded an aura of grievance.
Chu Hanxing pursed her lips: "Sorry."
Chu Bai's previous situation was actually very dangerous. He was swept against the wall by a burst of spiritual power, which made him vomit a few mouthfuls of blood. Fortunately, due to his bloodline, he was still alive and well and uninjured.
Chu Bai said angrily: "He is unsightly in black, he must be ugly, and his methods are also dirty. He has the ability to fight head-on!
He definitely doesn’t dare, that’s why he does such sneaky and dirty things, it’s so annoying!”
The reason why conspiracy is called conspiracy is because it is invisible and disgusting enough.
If he were open and aboveboard, he wouldn't need to wear a black cloak.
Chu Hanxing hummed softly. She didn't say that she would take revenge and let the man in black also suffer. She just silently opened her sealed spiritual veins.
Chu Bai suddenly felt waves of strong spiritual power mixed with Yin Qi coming from all directions, and was then introduced into his spiritual veins and Dantian by Chu Hanxing in large quantities.
Chu Bai was shocked. The spiritual energy mixed with death energy was not pure and was rejected by practitioners, but Chu Hanxing could actually absorb them all!
