In the palace, Di Xin, who had changed his appearance, followed the old eunuch towards the emperor's palace.
Along the way, we also encountered other patrolling guards, but due to the old eunuch's status as the chief internal officer, nothing went wrong.
The two of them entered the emperor's palace without any danger.
The nine large-scale coal stoves with carvings of dragons and phoenixes are still as usual, making the palace feel like a furnace. Even some fragile places have a burnt color because they are made of wood.
After more than two years of continuous baking, the lifespan of this palace has been greatly affected.
Di Xin sighed secretly in his heart.
After the old emperor recovers, the palace is more likely to be demolished and rebuilt than repaired.
"You're here."
The old emperor was lying on the dragon cave, still covered with a thick quilt, but if you look closer, you will find that his complexion is much better than before.
As the cold energy in his heart dissipated, the cold energy in his body could not be replenished as quickly as it dissipated.
And today is the last treatment.
Today, after the last trace of cold energy was removed from the old emperor's heart, the cold energy in his body truly became rootless.
Without the source and the supplement, the old emperor would truly have no worries about his life.
Just a little bit.
Di Xin said to the old emperor: "I checked last time after the treatment. It took too long for the cold air to enter the body. After you recover, although there will be no sequelae, the original cultivation level will be in such a long time."
As time goes by, Xia will probably lose everything."
The old emperor looked startled.
Although I had expected it, I was still a little sad after hearing Di Xin's words.
Regardless of his current age, after recovering, his first thing must be to regain the power that has been delegated for several years.
After taking office, he had no time to practice at all.
But soon, a look of relief appeared on his face.
Also, how could I not pay any price after lying in bed for so many years and suffering from the cold for such a long time?
Rather, now that he has the chance to recover, he is content.
You must know that he had already intended to die before, otherwise he would not have allowed the princes to fight to this extent.
The old emperor's face showed the domineering aura of an emperor: "Even if I have no cultivation, I am still the king of a country. Xiaowu, just do what you want, don't worry too much!"
A smile flashed in Di Xin's eyes.
The old emperor misunderstood. He said this not because he was worried that the old emperor would settle the score afterwards, but just to prepare him in advance.
After all, I am still used to the status of a superior, but now I meet an equal ally, and I am obviously a little inexperienced.
Di Xin did not open his mouth to correct him.
After the old emperor gradually got used to it, he knew how to get along with equal allies. Now this is just a trivial matter and not worth wasting your breath on.
Di Xin said: "Today is the last negotiation between the imperial court and foreign missions. King Cheng's energy has been delayed there. This is the best opportunity to help His Majesty remove the last trace of coldness from his body."
"In that case, let's get started without further ado!"
The old emperor also had no ink marks, but before Di Xin took action, he still asked: "No one doubted the previous reasons. It is enough for you to enter the palace as usual. Why do you need to add variables like now?"
"Of course it's to clear my mind."
Di Xin said: "Northern Xinjiang cannot be left without an owner for a day. When the negotiations are over and the foreign missions leave Beijing, it will be time for me to leave."
"but."
"After I left the capital, His Majesty's health began to improve at this time, and he was likely to be contacted by interested people. Therefore, I need an unknown charlatan to share my attention."
The old emperor was stunned for a moment and asked: "Are you leaving Beijing?"
Di Xin nodded and said: "When the cold energy in Your Majesty's heart is completely eliminated, the cold energy of those rootless things will no longer need me."
"I'm restricted everywhere in the capital, so it's better to go back early and make arrangements in advance."
"And as His Majesty's health improves, while taking back his power, if I still stay in the capital, it is very likely that I will arouse the suspicion of King Cheng."
As the coldness in the old emperor's body dissipates, the nine coal stoves in the palace will eventually lose their function.
It was impossible to completely hide the transfer of the eunuchs and maids in charge of the nine coal stoves, the coal consumed, etc. This meant that the old emperor could not hide the news that his health was improving.
The most he can do is delay it for a while and prevent others from knowing the extent of his recovery.
After all, the time taken by the old emperor to delegate power was too long.
Coupled with King Cheng's deployment in the capital over the years, even though the old emperor had a group of people loyal to him, if he wanted to regain all the power, he could only do it slowly.
At this time, Di Xin, who was a thorn in King Cheng's side, naturally wanted not to be in the capital, lest he irritate him and make him suspicious.
It would be bad if King Cheng was forced to make a desperate move.
After being in prison, King Cheng always thought that he was the one wearing the shoes and was cautious in everything, but in fact Di Xin was the one who really wore the shoes.
With the support of the old emperor, he wanted to use the power of the entire Dali to help him compete for the position of world leader of the Ancient Moon Realm. It was basically a certainty, and he naturally did not want to waste the power that should belong to him in vain.
It was also at this time that the old emperor heard about Di Xin's subsequent plans.
After thinking for a while, he didn't raise any objection.
According to his idea, after he took charge, he wanted to use the power of the emperor to directly suppress the ministers and support Emperor Xin to ascend to the position of prince.
Although this method is a bit violent, as an emperor of a dynasty, what he lacks most is domineering.
Even if it would cost some of the country's heritage, he still had the courage to defeat Shen Ke.
But Di Xin reminded him.
In order to win the battle that affects the entire Ancient Moon Realm, what Dali needs is not to maintain success, but to continuously develop.
Therefore, in order to have enough resources to support Dali's external development in the future, it is naturally better to take back power in a more relaxed way now.
Although it will inevitably waste some time.
But after the cold air in his body was eliminated, the old emperor continued to recover. What he did not lack was time.
"Just follow your plan!"
The old emperor said the last words in a low voice, then closed his eyes and waited for Di Xin's last treatment.
His last words were: "Xiaowu, you pursue stability too much."
