But he has already taken the elixir sent by the Taoist priest of the Zhou family. How can he ascend to heaven? He can only become a demon!
But the figures at the door had already drifted away, leaving only the two young eunuchs who were smiling and explaining to their father-in-law that they had just promoted Emperor Ming——
"Your Majesty wants to disintegrate his corpse and ascend to heaven. The food in the human world is a hindrance to your Majesty. Your Majesty only needs water and the elixirs in the alchemy room."
The two young eunuchs said respectfully: "Yes!"
"No! No! Open the door quickly! I don't want to be dismembered, and I can't be promoted to immortality!" Emperor Ming took effect from the drug, and his whole mind was confused. He frantically scratched the doors and windows until his fingers were dripping with blood without even noticing.
But the two eunuchs outside the door stood indifferently: "Your Majesty, my servants will respectfully deliver your body to you."
...
"Master, have you given up on your previous plan and allowed His Majesty to 'dispose' the corpse so casually?" He and the father-in-law asked Cang Qiao in a low voice.
Cang Qiao chuckled: "Of course not. Watching His Majesty keep struggling between hope and despair is the fun of my boring life."
He paused and slowly fiddled with the beads in his hand: "Besides, the young lady is leaving, and I didn't want to do it so quickly, so as not to worry her on the road."
"But Your Majesty, you don't realize the kindness of your master. You stretched your hand too far and actually wanted to touch the young master." Eunuch Qi sighed.
He knew that the master had not "played enough" yet, and would not let His Majesty suffer all the hardships, and would not let His Majesty "become an immortal" so easily.
Cang Qiao smiled: "Yes, so I have changed my mind, so I will advance the plan so that Your Majesty can exhume the body as soon as possible."
He and the father-in-law thought for a while: "Then if your majesty plans to let the royal secret guards go to His Highness King Qin and the Zhou family to ask for help and let them rescue him, will you continue to let the secret guards do whatever they want?"
"Of course, if they don't move, how can we watch this big show? I have been planning for so long, and now I just come on stage with my voice. How can I let someone ruin a good thing?" Cang Qiao's slender eyes narrowed.
After the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the month, the court begins.
The government offices are open and all civil and military officials are returning to their posts.
After all, this year the court has two major things to do at the beginning of the year——
First, the King of Qin went out to mobilize the three armies.
Second, Concubine Ming is preparing to go to the southwest with a large amount of medicinal herbs and doctors.
After all, it's all between this "couple".
But at this juncture, His Majesty, the great emperor of the empire, began to cultivate immortality again, began to ignore the government affairs, and even publicized that if everything went well, he would "ascend to immortality."
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have become numb, and they can be brought down with just a few curses in secret, otherwise what else can they do?
Fortunately, Jiu Qiansui continued to come out to preside over the overall affairs of the government as usual, and there was no trouble.
...
"At least there is no big trouble on the surface." Mr. Hong, the first counselor beside King Qin, said to King Qin who was sitting at the top.
At this time, King Shangguan Hongye of Qin was already wearing cold light armor, with heavy arrows on his waist, and looked at his confidants sitting in the secret room with a gloomy expression.
"That monster Cang Qiao controls the government, and now he suddenly puts my father under house arrest. He doesn't give him food, but only water and pills. He clearly has evil intentions!"
Another counselor said: "Your Majesty is now protected by secret guards. In addition, your Majesty has been cultivating immortals all year round and is accustomed to fasting. There should be no worries about his life in the short term!"
Shangguan Hongye's face was complicated and filled with anger: "However, Cang Qiao's sudden action disrupted our actions and forced me to make a choice whether to save the driver or not!"
If he didn't rescue him, his father might not be able to support him at all. He would lead an army back from the border.
But if he comes to rescue him, he will definitely use his forces in the Forbidden Army and the secret troops in the capital camp to expose his plan to his father!
