Well, now who poisons the emperor has already had the biggest suspect.
But if the emperor is poisoned to death, the dragon vein cannot be broken.
Elder Cao glanced at Shi'er and took a step forward.
The imperial concubine froze for a moment and slowly turned her head. Seeing a silent person suddenly appearing behind her, she opened her eyes wide in horror.
"You..." This was not an ordinary woman after all, she calmed down immediately and did not shout loudly.
Of course, what she is doing now is shameful, and yelling is not good for her.
"You are..." Her tone was filled with a hint of disgust and fear, and more carefulness: "Who asked you to come?"
Qiuqiu was slightly stunned.
Elder Cao's way of showing up is definitely not something that ordinary people have. When the imperial concubine saw such a supernatural phenomenon, she did not shout out to ghosts, but instead asked, who asked you to come.
What does this mean? The imperial concubine must have dealt with people who are not ordinary people, and their relationship is unusual.
Did anyone manipulate her behind her when she did all this?
Elder Cao remained silent: "Have you done your business?"
It was indeed the old man's reaction, and he really didn't treat himself as an outsider. After he said this, it seemed as if someone had sent him. The purpose of the imperial concubine doing these things might be really revealed.
The imperial concubine looked back at the coffin and replied to Elder Cao, "The emperor has another son alive... but he was also infected with the same peach blossom poison as the emperor. Since a year ago, when the emperor was in a serious condition, he was to show his filial piety.
He had to taste the soup and medicine. Even if the poisoning was not as deep as the emperor, it would be delayed for a few months at most..."
Elder Cao usually smiles like Maitreya Buddha, but now he has a stern face. In the dim light, it really makes him feel a bit horrible.
He was so stern and did not speak, and the imperial concubine was a little nervous: "Please tell the priest that the third prince will definitely return to the capital to ascend the throne this month. I will find another way to do it. I will definitely ask him
The life."
It was indeed her who gave poison.
Elder Cao finally nodded slightly.
Someone is really manipulating the imperial concubine. Judging from what she said, even the poison was given to her.
Her respectful attitude towards the visitor was amazing. She was already a concubine. Judging from the conversation between the queen and her just now, the emperor must have loved her very much. When the emperor was still alive, she could compete with the queen and even suppress it.
Queen.
With her status, she is so respectful to the so-called Venerable and the subordinates sent by the Venerable.
Either she has a fatal handle in the hands of these people, or the existence of these people is above the imperial power.
Qiuqiu felt that both reasons might be possible.
"Empress?" Seeing Elder Cao squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. The Concubine tentatively stepped forward.
Elder Cao opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes was so shocked that the imperial concubine quickly took two steps back. Her back was pressed against the emperor's coffin.
"Don't misunderstand me, I just want to ask you about it."
Elder Cao asked in a voice, "What's the matter?"
"I have done everything the Venerable ordered. But now the queen is powerful and Chen is supporting him outside... I am alone and I can't shake them. I wonder if the Venerable can..."
"The Venerable has his own opinion on this matter."
The imperial concubine hurriedly lowered her head: "Yes, yes."
Elder Cao stopped when he saw it was good. If he continued, he was afraid that something would go wrong and arouse the suspicion of the imperial concubine.
When the imperial concubine raised her head, she found that the person in front of her had disappeared from her eyes just now.
She was shocked and wondered, looking around and called out twice: "Negotiable?Negotiable?"
After waiting for a while, she didn't listen to the response, she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt like she had suddenly removed her bones. She sat softly against the coffin and raised her hand to cover her face.
Qiuqiu heard her laugh dryly.
No, it's not laughing, it's crying.
The sound still makes people feel sad.
But now no one dares to take her crying or laughing seriously. She just cried in front of the queen so heartbroken that she seemed to be in a state of mind. But in a blink of an eye, she became more observant than them.
The man was calm, which made the old guys who were cultivating immortals feel like they were being slapped.
The imperial concubine didn't stay here for a long time, so she pushed the lid back to the original place and walked out a little staggeringly.
Elder Cao touched his beard, and he couldn't tell that the smiling fat elder had good acting skills, and he successfully talked a lot from the imperial concubine.
"Peach Blossom Poison?" Elder Cao frowned and thought hard: "Peach Blossom Poison? What kind of poison is this?"
As the saying goes, medicine and poison are not separated. Elder Cao specializes in herb cultivation. He knows herbs, and of course he also has a certain understanding of poisonous herbs. But this peach blossom poison sounds like familiarity, but if you think about it carefully, you will think about it.
Not sure where the origin is.
Where have you heard of it?
Elder Cao also knows several kinds of strange poisons that can be poisoned quietly for four or five years before they die. But none of them has anything to do with peach blossoms.
It seems that this trip to the palace has not come in vain.
Several people discussed it and decided to separate people to monitor the imperial concubine. Since someone was instructing her behind her back, it was time to collect her. If those people appeared, they could follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes. This person wanted to exterminate the royal bloodline.
, the fact that the dragon vein was cut off must have nothing to do with him.
Elder Cao and Guan Wei and others went along, and Shi'er and Qiuqiu worked together. Shi'er set up many formation talismans in the palace, and Qiuqiu followed him to help. So many formation talismans were placed in completely different directions, Qiuqiu
This person who had a half understanding could only judge that this formation should have been changed by the seven-star formation, but she was confused about how it changed.
Shi'er's fingers twitched in the air, and wisps of starlight sank into the dark night, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shi'er set up a formation and turned around and asked her, "Are you tired?"
Qiuqiu shook his head.
"Then I'll take you to a place."
Qiuqiu followed him with some confusion.
Where else to go?
They walked along the palace walls to the southeast and arrived at a deserted palace gate. Shi'er said, "It's here."
The door was a false cover and opened as soon as it was pushed.
This is Sitianjian.
Not far behind this yard is the observatory.
Usually, this place should be a clear water yamen, with few people. Now there are chaos and no one can care about it.
Shi'er took her hand and walked up to the observatory.
The stone platform is very flat and wide, with uneven underground, and is engraved with astrological images.
This is an extremely mysterious thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it seems ordinary to Shi'er and Qiuqiu.
"This should be the highest place in the entire palace."
Shi'er stroked her hair, pointed to the bottom and said, "Look."
Qiuqiu looked in the direction of his finger.
The Imperial Garden is at their feet.
They couldn't see clearly when they were in the garden just now. But now they jumped out of the room and saw everything. The lakes, rockery, and forests all looked very delicate. The palaces in the distance were next to each other, and the dark roofs were connected into one.
.
"Can you see something?"
Qiuqiu didn't know what Shi'er wanted her to see. She just honestly told her feelings.
"It's very neat...it's just that the traces of manual stacking are too heavy."
Shi'er nodded.
"Yes, these lakes and rockery are all done by manpower. The painter should have painted the patterns first, and then spent countless manpower to dig out the lakes and fill the mountains..."
This is no secret. Qiuqiu certainly understands it.
But why did Shi'er tell her this specifically?
When they were on the road, he also asked her to look down at the scene on the earth, just like now...
Qiuqiu had a vague guess in his heart, but, but...
She looked up at Shi'er.
"No way?"
"Why can't it?" Shi'er turned her head.
"The emperor can mobilize countless manpower and material resources to create such a garden for him. How can we know that this river and mountain. Didn't anyone draw the patterns and split the stones into mountains and rivers and draw the land into rivers?"
"That……"
Only gods can have such ability?
Then what? Qiuqiu still doesn’t understand.
She understood the metaphor of Shi'er, but she was half-believing and half-doubting at the moment.
If the land where she grew up and the mountains and rivers did not grow like this, but were deliberately arranged by the gods, what do the gods want to do?
It is understandable that the emperor made such an imperial garden, but they wanted to enjoy it. Ordinary people wanted to beautify their living environment, but they could only raise a few pots of flowers on the balcony. For the sake of their living conditions, they might even get two pots of thorny cactus to raise.
If you have the privilege, you can build a large garden for yourself that covers an area of dozens or even hundreds of acres.
Gods wouldn't think they were building a garden for themselves, right?
No, Qiuqiu suddenly thought of something.
What did she discuss with Shi'er that day?
Yes, they are discussing seals.
Where does the Demon Realm exist and why there are cracks that cause this problem.
She felt that she had grasped the point...but, it was still very vague.
Shi'er drew a few strokes in the air, and the lines of the flashing light of nothingness became coherent.
"Look, this is a mountain range in the north of the Central Plains." He did not stop and kept drawing.
There is also such a mountain range in the extreme south, and rivers running across the Central Plains. The ones that Shier painted are all big mountains, rivers and lakes.
These mountains, rivers and rivers usually look majestic and towering into the clouds, or rushing down to majestic momentum. But now Shi'er has removed all the appearance and branches, only retaining the trajectory of the plane lines.
Finally, the pattern consisting of these minimalist lines appeared in front of me.
Shi'er painted a big map like this, just like the array map he painted the sealed land that day.
Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide.
Could it be...
Did she grow up and live in the mountains, rivers and land she has grown up since childhood, and is it a huge formation?
How could this...be?
If this is really a formation...
When I saw the sealed land, Qiuqiu thought this way - maybe this is the largest and most complicated formation in the world.
But what about this in front of me now? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
ps: Momoda. The first update is given.
Today I choked on duck blood tofu and was choked by spicy oil. I coughed so hard that I vomited my lungs. My throat hurts like a knife cut. It took me a long time to get better. I'm so sorry. I won't eat this again next time
