Xin Zhuo did not know the little emperor's will. He was currently in the Longevity Palace, the residence of the Empress Dowager Mo.
Now that he has come to the Great Zhou, one is for the orders of the sect, the other is to practice the seven emotions and six desires, and the third is, of course, to stabilize the country of the Great Zhou. Frankly speaking, he doesn't want to ask how the Great Zhou is doing, and he is not prepared to carry out drastic reforms. , It is really boring to change the imperial court, but it is necessary to pave the way for the little emperor. The emperor is young and needs the help of his elders. Jiang Yuqi is no longer there. The then crown princess went to the Hehuan Holy Sect to practice. Empress Dowager Mo did her part. The candidate is just that she was originally in the Little Venerable realm. In recent years, she is afraid that her realm will be higher. She is only in her fifties, but she is seriously ill.
This made him feel a little strange.
Moreover, the Prime Minister Li Shentong is a master of the Lingtai Realm, the Queen is a Yangshi Triple Sea, and the six kings with different surnames are also Yangshi Realm. Although several people tried their best to hide it, they could not hide it from him.
You know, the top masters of the four Taiping sects are only in the Yinxu realm!
The origins of these people, what their intentions are, and whether they have anything to do with the evil sect, we need to take another look at.
Finally, when we arrived at Wanshou Palace, we noticed something unusual.
The huge palace is obviously decorated with festive and bright silk curtains, but the air is filled with a lifeless atmosphere.
The light was dim and the curtains were swaying. Several thin old eunuchs and maids stood beside the big red pillars with their heads lowered. They were obviously trying to squeeze out smiles, but they looked a little sinister.
The great eunuch beside the emperor, Eunuch Ma, had a chrysanthemum smile on his face and bowed his body to lead the way: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is recuperating in the inner palace."
Xin Zhuo didn't make a sound, just walked slowly and quietly, stretched out a finger and circled it in the air.
There is an extremely high level of chronic poisonous miasma in the air. If it stays here for a long time, the internal organs will be slowly invaded. Even an earthly immortal can become extremely ill and die soon.
Pretending to be casual, he asked: "Who is in charge of Wanshou Palace on weekdays?"
Eunuch Ma immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the female officer Cuicui, the internal history minister Shangguan Wan."
"Whose?" Xin Zhuo looked directly into the old eunuch's eyes.
Eunuch Ma was shocked by the look, his legs couldn't help but soften, he knelt down and gasped desperately: "Emperor, Empress!"
Xin Zhuo stopped talking, put his hands behind his back, and went straight to the inner hall.
The inner hall is filled with the fragrance of Chinese herbal medicine, which is refreshing. A white-haired old lady is lying on the huge phoenix bed, her eyes are closed and her breathing is weak.
Next to the bed, a female official with a straight back was kneeling. A string of Buddhist beads was coiled around her slender right hand, and she was muttering something. When she heard footsteps, she turned around sharply, and the fierceness in her eyes flashed away.
Eunuch Ma immediately shouted: "Bold, His Majesty the Emperor is here!"
Na Cuicui was startled for a moment, then she restrained all her aura, prostrated and bowed: "I pay my respects to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor!"
Xin Zhuo did not answer, nor even glanced at the woman. He sniffed his nose gently and said: "Platycodon frost dew, seven-tailed lotus, Houttuynia cordata..."
Eunuch Ma looked confused when he heard this.
But Cuicui's expression changed again and again.
The medicinal soup seems to be a warm and tonic substance, which is very suitable for the Empress Dowager's illness, but it has the opposite effect on the poisonous miasma in the air. I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will die in less than a month.
After Xin Zhuo finished reciting, he looked at the ten incense candles not far away, chuckled lightly, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of polar yang energy flickered, and the ten incense candles were extinguished instantly.
That Cuicui's face changed again.
Xin Zhuo had already walked to the bed, sat down, and looked at the old lady and the empress dowager.
As if she was aware of it, the old lady opened her eyes. She looked at him blankly at first, then her pupils shrank, and she grabbed his wrist fiercely, as if she had something to say, but couldn't.
"The old queen."
According to seniority, Xin Zhuo should call her aunt, but Ji Jiuwei no longer exists, everything is empty. He tapped several meridian points on her neck.
"Wow."
The old empress vomited out the bruised blood, feeling much relieved, and said in a hurried tone: "Yu Qing, it's good if you come back. Yu'er is pitiful. You become the emperor and make him the prince. You can guard this great Zhou Dynasty. The royal family is declining. Prince Nanling and his son They were also killed, and only the royal bloodline is left as a miscellaneous branch, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger!"
When Eunuch Ma behind him heard this, he immediately knelt down and trembled all over.
Female officer Cuicui lowered her head even further.
Xin Zhuo just smiled, his right hand flew mysteriously, patted the old queen's meridians, and fed her a pill.
The old Queen Mother was startled for a moment, then she became energetic in the blink of an eye, her hair returned to black, and she was obviously no more than fifty years old.
Xin Zhuo had already walked out with his hands behind his back: "I ordered Shui Qingliu and Zhuge Jun to enter the palace immediately to serve the Empress Dowager, and kill the female official Cuicui and the internal historian Shangguan Wan!"
The female officer Cuicui's face changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up with a fierce look on her face. She wrapped herself in the negative energy and went straight to the Empress Dowager. However, before she could get close, a beam of extremely positive energy penetrated her forehead, and blood splashed all over her forehead. On the bed, the dead body fell down with a "thud".
The frightened old lady was at a loss, and Eunuch Ma, who had just stood up, knelt down again.
After leaving the main hall, it was still snowing outside, but the Taiji Palace in front was much quieter. Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs were waiting with bows. A great eunuch came forward with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, please move to the Baji Palace. The Ministry of Rites and the Department of Internal Affairs have vacated the palace, and the servants have also finished cleaning it!"
Xin Zhuo nodded: "Let's go!"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs rushed forward, leading the way. A young and upright eunuch even came over to support Xin Zhuo's right arm.
Xin Zhuo looked at this person in surprise. At my age, I already need support from eunuchs? This is the rule even in the royal family. No one has ever been an emperor.
But he saw this person raised his head slightly, revealing a delicate and thin face under his tall hat, Jiang Xiaoyu, the true genius of Xuantian Sword Sect Yingyang Peak Tengjiao.
Xin Zhuo smiled: "When did you come in?"
"Come in early!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Xin really knows how to enjoy it!"
When selecting a successor to the headmaster, even if he entered the school a long time before Xin Zhuo and does serious things under the sect's orders, he must be called senior brother.
Xin Zhuo asked in confusion: "Enjoyment? I am the emperor of Zhou Dynasty. How can I talk about enjoyment?"
Jiang Xiaoyu said angrily: "The little emperor just ordered that all the most beautiful daughters of the most powerful families in the entire imperial capital be brought into the palace for you as concubines, a total of eighteen people, and even the queen's biological mother, the Third Lady... …”
Xin Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, saying: "This boy is so filial, my love for him is not in vain!"
This time it was Jiang Xiaoyu's turn to be stunned and said angrily: "Are you really enjoying it?"
Xin Zhuo spread his hands: "What else?"
Jiang Xiaoyu whispered: "We came earlier than you and have found out that Prime Minister Li Shentong, Queen Wei Qingqing and several kings with different surnames are most likely related to the Tianxie and Guiqing sects. How can Senior Brother Xin be greedy for pleasure? We should cut the knot quickly and kill them directly!"
"You also said that there is a high probability, and there is no definite evidence, so there is no point in relying on conjecture, right?"
Xin Zhuo patted him on the shoulder, "In the realm of Li Shen's psychic platform, I can't reach the third level of Yangshi Sea, and you guys can't reach the first level of Yangshi Sea. Jiang Yuwei is taller, but only the second level of Yangshi Sea. What can I beat you with?"
"Senior brother underestimates the ability of many of my disciples to cross the border and kill!"
Jiang Xiaoyu squinted his eyes and said, "You shouldn't have transferred Senior Brother Bai Yan, Feng Qiao'er and Senior Sister Li Sijuan out. According to my wishes, if we join forces for a sneak attack, we might kill him with one strike!"
Xin Zhuo said: "Li Shentong and the others think so too. Maybe they have more manpower. Young man, please be patient!"
"What the hell are you trying to calm down?"
Jiang Xiaoyu said angrily: "Don't you have any idea? You are here to enjoy it. It was your idea for the emperor to get a concubine for you. You just want to play with women!"
"Are you unfamiliar with me and envious of me?"
Xin Zhuo blinked: "Young beauties change seven in one night, are you jealous?"
"you……"
Jiang Xiaoyu was completely angry: "Be careful, I'll send a message to the sect to sue you!"
"Please!"
Xin Zhuo strode away.
These sect disciples are extremely talented and have good fighting skills, but they are still a little immature when it comes to intrigues.
Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. What is the situation in this court? How can one know what Su Wuji and those people are thinking?
