"Thank you so much, your Majesty. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will definitely repay your kindness to your Majesty!" Although Lu Jing was overjoyed, he also felt that the future was extremely difficult and dangerous. He might one day be "broken to pieces" as he said.
King Lu Xiang dipped his pen in ink and wrote on the special white sheepskin used to issue the "Edict of the King": "I order Hua Longyang to be the general of chariots and cavalry and also the minister of censorship, effective immediately." Then he stamped it with the emperor's jade seal and finished writing.
Later, King Lu Xiang said loudly: "Official clerk Zuo listens to the order!"
One of the two clerks outside the door came in and stood two steps away from the monarch's desk.
King Lu Xiang held up the "Appointment Letter" and said: "Immediately declare this "Appointment Letter" to the whole country, without any mistakes!" The clerk responded: "Yes!", then bowed down, took the appointment letter, and left with the order.
Afterwards, the monarch and his ministers chatted about the affairs of the court. Lu Jing listened very carefully and asked a question or two from time to time. King Lu Xiang patiently answered them one by one in detail.
Time passed quickly, and after an hour, Lu Jing felt a little hungry. At this time, a eunuch called outside the door: "Supervisor Shangshan, the tea is here!"
King Lu Xiang lived a more regular life. He was used to having breakfast in his bedroom at midnight every day, and having refreshments in the study at midnight. Since this became a regular rule, King Lu Xiang made a rule: when the eunuch brings breakfast, he only needs to wait outside the door.
Just shout and it can be sent in directly without King Lu Xiang’s permission.
The door was pushed open, and two young eunuchs in their twenties each carried a beautiful food box and walked into the "Renxin Hall". They first placed the food box on the large coffee table in the center of the room, and then opened the food box.
, brought out a total of four exquisite tea snacks, placed them neatly on the coffee table, then closed the lid of the food box, picked up the food box, and walked out respectfully backwards.
King Lu Xiang stood up and said to "Hua Longyang": "Let's have some refreshments first."
Lu Jing said: "Thank you, Mr. Guo." Then he stood up, walked backward to the coffee table, picked up the teapot that had already brewed a pot of precious fragrant tea, first filled a cup, then hesitated and poured it again.
Another cup.
King Lu Xiang smiled slightly, walked to the coffee table and sat down. He took a sip of fragrant tea, then picked up a piece of exquisite sesame oil cake and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and said vaguely: "Hua Qing, sit down too."
Eat a little, there's no one else here, don't be too reserved."
Lu Jing felt a touch of emotion in his heart, bowed and said: "Thank you, Lord!" Then he sat down, picked up another cup of tea and took a few sips, then looked at the beautiful refreshments. These snacks were shaped into various cute animals.
Or in the shape of flowers, the exquisite carvings make people admire them so much that they are reluctant to bite them into pieces and eat them.
King Lu Xiang looked at the cute appearance of "Hua Longyang", smiled, and continued to eat without saying anything. Lu Jing looked at it for a long time before picking up a piece of emerald green pig-shaped sugar-centered mung bean cake and putting it into his mouth. He
After chewing it two or three times, I soon realized that its taste was no worse than that of "Cuiyun Pavilion". I praised the cooking skills of "Shangshan Supervisor" in my heart, and couldn't help but think of the Hong who was bullied by Eunuch Fu.
The appearance of a steward.
He thought to himself: If he had entered the Shangshan Prison, he would have been able to do something for others, but the advantage is that he would often have the opportunity to steal food, haha!
Although it was delicious, Lu Jing did not dare to compete with the king to eat it, so although King Lu Xiang repeatedly asked "Hua Longyang" to eat more, in the end Lu Jing still only ate less than 40%, and more than 60%.
Cheng was eaten by King Lu Xiang.
After the tea was finished, King Lu Xiang wanted to go back to his palace to rest for a while as usual, so Lu Jing got up and left.
Lu Jing was escorted by four personal guards. As he walked towards his "Flower Palace" and thought about what to do next, he suddenly felt some pain in his lower abdomen. At first, he didn't care, but after entering the "Flower Palace"
, the abdominal pain gradually worsened and spread to the entire abdomen. Lu Jing felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked the guards to call the imperial doctor.
While waiting for the imperial doctor, Lu Jing's abdominal pain became more and more severe, and even began to spread to his chest and legs. Only then did he realize that this abdominal pain was not trivial. He must have been poisoned! So he hurriedly dug out the original document from the cabinet.
The red pills found on the real Hua Longyang were swallowed into the stomach together with water, and then he lay down on the bed and used his energy to drive away the poison.
Lu Jing used "internal vision" to see the red pills rapidly decomposing and spreading in his stomach, quickly entering the intestines, and being absorbed into the bloodstream by the intestinal wall. At the same time, he also saw the black "black witch demon power internal power" rushing from the Dantian
When it comes out, it first protects the liver, kidneys and heart, and then gradually attacks the gastrointestinal tract to expel the violent poison from the body.
Hua Longyang's red antidote is called "Chixia Lingdan", which is an extremely miraculous detoxification medicine. Coupled with Lu Jing's "Black Witch Demonic Skill Internal Power" which is as high as Martial Lord Level 4, only half an hour later,
All the toxins in the body are expelled from the pores of the skin with sweat.
After expelling the poison, Lu Jing felt hot all over and was sweating profusely. He quickly took off his clothes and jumped out of bed, picked up the large vase filled with water, drank more than a dozen sips of water, and then heard his own
There were the rapid footsteps of several people outside the bedroom.
He listened attentively and quickly confirmed that these people had low martial arts skills and had no ill intentions towards him.
Lu Jing put down the vase and walked outside the door. He saw two eunuchs and three guards rushing towards him. He recognized three of them as following King Lu Xiang.
"Report, report to Mr. Hua!" A middle-aged eunuch who was leading the team said as he ran, and soon arrived in front of Lu Jing. Seeing that these people were all in a panic, Lu Jing knew something was wrong and waited anxiously for them to say something.
Go down.
"The king, the king passed away just now!"
Although the eunuch's voice was quiet, it was like a thunderbolt in Lu Jing's ears!
"What?! The king has passed away?! King Lu, King Lu Xiang, has passed away?!" Lu Jing looked at the panicked faces of the eunuchs and guards and couldn't help shouting: "What's going on?! Say it quickly!!"
The middle-aged eunuch said with a sad face: "After the monarch left the study, he started to have abdominal pain before he even reached the bedroom. After we helped him into the bedroom, the monarch's abdominal pain became more and more severe. We quickly called the imperial doctor, but
Even before the imperial doctor arrives, the monarch is already dying..."
Lu Jing suddenly understood: the poison he had just been poisoned was most likely in the pastries or fragrant tea that he had eaten with King Lu Xiang. He had Hua Longyang's red detoxifying elixir, and his strong internal power could drive away the poison, so
He did not die; but King Lu Xiang’s martial arts skills were low and he ate more cakes and tea than he did, so he encountered a great disaster!
"Let's go! Go to the monarch's chamber!" Lu Jing said, not caring about his disheveled appearance, and rushed out first. He had just ran out three or five steps, and suddenly turned back, went to the cabinet in the house and picked up a small bottle containing the red antidote.
, and ran out. Two eunuchs and three guards followed, but their running speed was much slower than Lu Jing.
Along the way, everyone Lu Jing saw, including guards, eunuchs, maids, etc., were all as busy as headless flies, and even accidentally knocked over some things.
