"Even if it is for the sake of this palace, if you do not give death to the king for a while, he will be exiled to another place and imprisoned. Moreover, once the King of Qi or the King of Shu ascends the throne, he will definitely be given death. There is no luck in this."
The hatred between the two kings and their grandson has been forged and can no longer be untied. Either you die or I live. Besides, the grandson still has the status of the son of the former prince. No matter who ascends the throne, they will not let it go. The king lives.
"No, based on my understanding of that old man, I'm afraid that in the future, when he is still in power, he will get rid of future troubles..."
Thinking of this, the queen turned pale and wanted to give instructions, but the words rolled around on the tip of her tongue before being swallowed back.
The queen who was silent continued to slowly stop walking in the palace.
"Fu'er..." The face of King Dai appeared in front of him. Strangely, another more unforgettable face of a young man overlapped with it.
Suddenly, the queen remembered the news that the prince had committed suicide and the whole family had been killed. It had been twenty years since the incident, and even the mother and son seemed to have become as smokeless as the prince.
But now, after receiving these words, the emotions that she had not had time to arouse back then were suddenly awakened. It was also a drizzling and miserable evening. When I heard the news, the strings of the Yaoqin in my hand suddenly broke, and my cut fingers were bloody.
"Fu'er, is it you? You finally sent the news to me..." The queen thought in confusion. Back then, when she heard the news, she had already mobilized and prepared to fight to the death, but Fu'er did not choose to tell the truth. She chose to commit suicide.
At that moment, the pain in her heart seemed to be confused with the rain in front of her.
"Empress..."
The low call made the queen suddenly turn away from the rainy scene twenty years ago. She was stunned for a long time before she realized that it was not twenty years ago, but twenty years later, and Fu'er had not conveyed her news. , but his only child was asking for help from him.
"Fu'er, the king is calmer, more decisive, and more like a king than you!"
The queen smelled the faint stench of blood, but looked at Jiao Lan who was beaten by the rain in the courtyard and sighed deeply.
To be honest, the emperor still has some affection for her. He has been in the cold war for more than ten years and has not abandoned her. Now he cares about her everywhere. Maybe she can take advantage of this.
Lowering her eyes and looking at the scriptures again, the queen stood up and put the wooden box containing the scriptures into the secret room where she stored some of the things she cared about more.
There was also a small box in the secret room. The queen opened the small lock and opened it gently. What she saw were a few papers on it that looked ordinary.
On this paper, there is a secret code that her Ah Fu once agreed with her. Although it has long been no longer needed, after her Ah Fu died and the queen couldn't survive, anything with Ah Fu's aura could make her Her desolate heart was slightly comforted, and she was no longer in pain all the time.
She stared at the paper and suddenly closed her eyes.
"Come here." After walking out of the secret room, the queen ordered the eunuch who had been waiting just now, and said coldly: "Go and send a message to Eunuch Zhao, saying, does he still remember the kindness of me and the prince? "
The eunuch didn't say anything else, he just responded: "Yes!"
Seeing that she was speechless, he took two steps back and disappeared into the corridor like a shadow.
The queen stood up and was silent.
Don't look at it. It seems that the palace has become Ma Shunde's world. It seems that Ma Shunde has really become the chief eunuch, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. But in fact, neither Eunuch Zhao nor the few old men who follow the emperor have rarely appeared. Eunuchs are the ones with deep roots in the palace.
Ma Shunde is a bit clever, but because of his greed, meanness and villainy, he doesn't have many die-hard loyalists. Now, most of Ma Shunde's surroundings are people who are in favor of others.
Although they are both eunuchs and love money, Eunuch Zhao at least knows how to repay kindness and repay hatred. Even if he is greedy for money, he has a sense of proportion. He will not leave only a little benefit to his subordinates like Ma Shunde and take the majority for himself.
The queen saw clearly that Eunuch Zhao, who was currently living in a house outside the palace to recuperate, had always been well aware of the affairs in the palace, and was afraid that he would come back again if given a chance.
"It's a pity that it's not twenty years ago after all. I can't help you much anymore."
"Only one chance."
"King Dai, are you sure of this destiny?" The queen stared at the rainy night in silence, her slightly pale eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her eyelids shimmered faintly.
Daiwangfu
It was late at night, and there were soldiers standing at important street entrances. The sound of watchmen's bangs could be heard in the distance, but Su Ziji did not go to rest. Instead, in the alchemy yard, he was staring at the furnace and ordering: "Open!"
"Yes!" Someone opened it, and as the fragrance of the elixir filled the air, Su Ziji took a step forward, took out one and looked at it carefully, and found that the elixir was round, as bright as cinnabar, and of perfect quality.
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half of a red sandalwood shadow floating in his field of vision with a faint green light, and a line of green characters appeared: "Successfully refined the Xuanyuan Dan, [External Alchemy] +1311, level 15 ( 1487/16000)”
There was also an influx of experience points for alchemy, which indicated that Su Ziji was really successful in alchemy this time.
But looking at it, Su Ziji's smile faded, and he quickly put down this one, and checked the other pills in turn. After looking at the results, he took one without caring about the risk, stretched his neck and swallowed it.
As soon as it entered the throat, a cool, fragrant elixir took effect. Su Ziji felt that his whole body was refreshed, as if his body was soaked in spring water, which was indescribably comfortable.
"Although this elixir is of great use, its most important function of transforming and concealing spiritual intelligence has failed. How is it possible? I have clearly grasped the opportunity!"
Su Ziji's expression was dull, with cold sweat breaking out all over his body: "Is this God's will? Are we really going to make a last ditch effort?"
"Chirp!" At this moment, a white figure pushed open the door, squeezed in through a crack, and shouted twice as soon as he entered, interrupting the atmosphere in the room.
"What's wrong?" Su Ziji woke up and saw it barking. He couldn't help but smile. Because the fox was his spy, he had placed dictionaries in several places where he usually stayed. At this time, he threw one to it. Let it point out what is to be said.
"The inspection of Wanglufang has basically been completed, so what's left is the Prince's Palace?" Looking at the combined content, Su Ziji fell silent.
It's too late. What is he lacking?
It would be inappropriate to search for alchemy scriptures or ask alchemists for advice. Not to mention that he was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. Even if he was not ordered to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, doing so at this juncture would only arouse more suspicion.
Just as Su Ziji's heart sank, the cold light in his eyelids gradually lit up, and footsteps came from outside, followed by the voice of Master Hui Dao: "Your Majesty, the grand array arranged in the palace is completed."
"Oh?" Su Ziji was startled, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through him, as if he had some realization.
