It was already the coldest day of winter in Sanjiu. The heavy snowfall for several consecutive days had already stopped. The entire Tai Chi Palace was covered in silver and looked solemn and solemn.
In the emperor's chamber in the Wanshou Hall of the Inner Palace, the emperor himself was pale and already lying upright on the couch, motionless, looking as if he was dead.
At this time, four people gathered in front of the emperor's couch, including the left prime minister Huo Zheng, Lu Gonggong, Zhang Daoling, and the patriarch Ahlami.
I saw a slight sweat on the forehead of the leader of the Three-Eyed Clan, Ahrami, and a huge amount of spiritual power poured out of his right hand into the emperor's body. After a while, the emperor finally began to exhale slightly from his chest, seeming to be alive. Before he collapsed, The four people surrounding him finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
At this time, Ahrami warned everyone: "Okay! Stay calm, don't worry! There shouldn't be any big problems next. Your Majesty is already about to expire, and he was injured by the Guixu Pill before." , At this moment, the body is seriously overdrawn, and now I have taken the Panshen Pill, and the twitching effect is difficult to control. As long as I am fine after tonight, there will be no big problem. You can just wait for His Majesty to wake up."
Ahrami turned to look at Eunuch Lu and warned:
"There are still a few things you need to do, Eunuch Lu. Find some strong iron chains to tie His Majesty's limbs and waist, so that His Majesty won't wake up and kill innocent people. After Your Majesty wakes up, you can only eat raw meat for three meals a day, and no cooked food. The person who delivers the meal must wear full body armor and choose an experienced and steady person to deliver the meal."
Lu Liang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said: "Grand Chief, why is this true? Raw meat is fine for every meal, but I would never dare to tie up His Majesty's dragon-body old slave. This is a serious crime of disrespect."
Ahrami said: "Just do it like this. If Your Majesty wakes up, you will do what I asked you to do. The convulsive medicine is made from a rare kind of poisonous insect. It is very toxic and may cause infection." As for other people, if they are infected into this inner palace, I don’t know how many people will die. If something goes wrong, it will be a big mess, so you must be cautious. As long as you can get through this most dangerous stage, Your Majesty can still be here. Extend your life by a few years.”
Huo Zheng seemed to be complaining in his tone. Hearing this, he said: "Grand Chief, how can you use such a domineering elixir on Your Majesty? This... is too... unbelievable."
Before Ahrami could open his mouth to explain.
Eunuch Lu said with a sad face: "Huo Xiangguo, you may not know the reason. If Your Majesty doesn't take convulsant medicine, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this winter. If the patriarch hadn't been here to take care of him, I'm afraid... Your Majesty would have been there early." Long Yu has returned."
After he finished, Eunuch Lu wept secretly...
After Huo Zheng heard this, he was also shocked. He bowed respectfully to the patriarch and said, "I'm sorry. It was the humble minister who misunderstood the patriarch." He sighed again and again.
Ahrami waved her hand gently to show that she didn't care.
Huo Zheng suddenly remembered something important and asked: "Big Patriarch, I have another question, given the current situation, how much time will I have to buy for Your Majesty before Your Majesty wakes up?"
Ahrami said: "It will take at least about five months. As long as the transformation is completed, Your Majesty will be able to fully regain consciousness by then."
When Huo Zheng heard this, he looked sad and said, "Okay! I will try my best to buy time for Your Majesty."
At this time, Zhang Daoling saw the sad look on his face and asked, "Huo Xiangguo, is there anything difficult?"
Hearing this, Huo Zheng said: "The Imperial Master is unaware of something. His Majesty has never practiced in seclusion for such a long time. I'm afraid that as time goes by, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Cui Xiangguo will become suspicious and adopt the strategy of forcing the palace. Your Majesty is now With this appearance, I'm afraid the situation will get out of control."
Lu Liang raised his sleeves, wiped his tears, and said: "Now we are riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. Your Majesty's situation is worse than we imagined. Huo Xiangguo, I think that in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be taken. Your Majesty has your Majesty in the Wanshou Palace." If the tiger talisman given to us is not enough, the Prime Minister will take the initiative to mobilize the soldiers of the Northern Camp to guard the Taiji Palace. I believe that everything will be safe for the time being."
Huo Zheng heard the words and said: "Well! What Mr. Lu said is true. This is the last resort. We should not use weapons unless it is absolutely necessary. I have another plan. I will recall the princeling officials who were demoted from the capital by Your Majesty and reinstate them to their original posts. , this may be able to temporarily appease Cui Xiangguo, His Royal Highness and others."
Lu Liang nodded slightly and said: "Huo Xiangguo is still old enough to seek the country. This is the only choice for now. We really have no choice."
Huo Zheng took a look at His Majesty's breathing and calmed down, then said goodbye and left...
As winter turns to spring, everything revives. The unlucky guy Gongzi Sheng has been trapped here for eight months. In the new year, Yu'er and Yang Liu brought some exquisite pastries and other food from the inner palace to sit with him and have fun together. After all, it’s a holiday.
At this moment, Mu Sheng really missed his family, but on the contrary, there was no New Year's atmosphere in the Tai Chi Palace, and it seemed so quiet and strange.
At this time, Yang Liu said mysteriously: "Sir, I heard some bad rumors in the inner palace."
Mu Sheng's heart moved and he asked curiously: "Oh? What kind of rumors are they?"
Yu'er also came forward and listened curiously. After getting along day and night for more than half a year, the relationship between the three of them seemed to have broken through the ordinary master-servant relationship. Mu Sheng was an easy-going person and didn't like to put on airs. After getting along for a long time, Yang Liu and Yu'er Er also gradually let down his guard, and the three of them could talk about everything.
Yang Liu looked solemn and said: "Young Master, I heard from my colleagues in the inner palace that from the Wanshou Palace, His Majesty's residence, there is always a faint beast roar that does not sound like a human voice. It makes people very scared. , the servants speculated whether His Majesty might have gone astray in his cultivation..."
Mu Sheng was shocked when he heard this. He really wanted to hide himself and run out immediately to see what was going on? When he thinks of the barrier specially set up for him outside the palace, hey! Forget it, I can only pull him down.
Mu Sheng whispered: "Yang Liu, don't you dare to say this nonsense. If anyone knows about it, this will be a crime of beheading!"
When Yang Liu heard what Young Master Sheng said, he also shrank his head subconsciously: "Young Master, slaves don't dare to mess around. I heard it with my own ears when I went to the Wanshou Palace on errands in the inner palace. At that time, I heard my colleagues chatting and I didn't believe it. As a result, I found an opportunity to run errands in the inner palace. I passed by His Majesty's palace and happened to hear that roar. Although the Wanshou Palace was heavily guarded and the slave was far away, it almost didn't scare the slave's soul out. So where? Is it a sound that a human can make? Young Master, I heard that you are also a monk, so your Majesty is not practicing some evil magic, right?"
Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either. Various sects and sects have different methods of practice. It may be some extraordinary means..."
When Mu Sheng heard what Yang Liu said, he was still shocked. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the extremely weird Pantheon Pill that His Majesty had given him.
Xin, the emperor didn’t really take that elixir, right? No way? This is too weird. Something must have happened in the inner palace, and it's definitely not the same. But I'm curious, and I can't get out. Hey...
Seeing that the two of them were dubious, Yang Liu leaned between them and lowered his voice: "I know one more thing."
Mu Sheng and Yu'er looked at each other and said in unison: "Hurry!"
Yang Liu said with a mysterious expression: "I went to the imperial kitchen to run an errand. I accidentally overheard the imperial chef preparing food for His Majesty complaining privately. I faintly heard a few words, Your Majesty tastes good... what kind of meat."
"Then I got curious too! So I secretly went to the imperial kitchen to take a look at the meals prepared for His Majesty. But the strange thing was that there was only a large copper basin. Seeing that there was no one around, the servant secretly opened the lid and took a look. Guess what?”
Yang Liu was deliberately betraying him. When he saw the fierce look in their eyes, he didn't dare to tease them. He got excited and said quickly:
"I saw a large basin of bloody raw meat. Your Majesty actually eats bloody raw meat for every meal. Can you imagine?"
No matter how well-informed Ren Musheng was, he was still stunned.
Yu'er seemed shocked and said, "How could His Majesty eat raw meat? This is impossible? His Majesty's monastic meals are usually vegetarian. How could this happen? Are you mistaken?"
Yang Liu's expression changed slightly and he said: "I will definitely not be mistaken. I saw this copper basin when I passed by the palace. This copper basin is usually carried into His Majesty's palace by two eunuchs wearing heavy armor. Only then will the terrifying roar of the beast stop shouting. I didn’t know what the copper basin was for before, but I never expected that it would be a basin of raw meat.”
Hearing this, Mu Sheng and Yu'er also looked at each other in shock. Only then did they understand that something big must have happened in the inner palace. However, everyone lived in the outer palace and were not core personnel. What the details were, they could only rely on imagination and imagination. Guessed.
After Mu Sheng heard this, he subconsciously muttered to himself: "The Ten Thousand God Pill..."
He now has a 70% to 80% guess in his mind that His Majesty must have taken this stuff and turned into something now. It doesn't matter if he is not a human being.
Yu'er asked in confusion: "Sir, what is the Ten Thousand God Pill?"
Mu Sheng came back to his senses, waved his hand and said: "Oh! It's nothing, it's a pill that I usually use in my daily practice..."
"Oh! I understand, slave..."
The three of them discussed it for half the time but did not come up with any results. They were just more curious about what happened in the inner palace...
Late at night, Gongzi Sheng looked at Yu'er beside him, who was almost exhausted and fell into a coma, feeling a little sorry.
Mu Sheng saw that even though Yu'er was asleep, she still looked pitifully aggrieved. With this look, Mu Sheng would not only not have the slightest pity for her, but would instead arouse a hidden desire for destruction in his heart. He just wanted to Eat up the beauty in front of you and squeeze it clean.
Mu Sheng was extremely satisfied with Yu'er. When the time came to leave the palace, he went to Yang Liu to complete the formalities. He also took Yu'er to Yucheng and officially became one of his favorites in the harem. He only took away a palace maid who was working as a handyman. With his newly conferred status as An Lehou, it’s not a big problem...
While Mu Sheng was lying on the couch and thinking wildly, there was a lot of noise outside the side hall, and he seemed to hear the footsteps of a group of people running around.
Mu Sheng was confused, what was he fussing about in the middle of the night? Are you going to stop letting people sleep?
He stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the inner room. He was about to open the door to see what was going on outside, but before he could reach the door, two warriors wearing armor rushed in in panic.
He recognized at a glance the two guardsmen who had been guarding outside the side hall to protect his "safety"...
