The people kept a respectful distance from the ruins of the imperial city, while the imperial craftsmen and soldiers worked together to clean them up.
Strangely enough, this place seemed to be cursed, and the newly built tower was gone again.
Li Chunfeng came out of the mountain again and stayed at the ruins day and night, instructing his men to clean up the scene.
The thing is very strange, why the task of clearing the ruins was given to Li Chunfeng.
Shouldn't Daochang Li worry about the emperor's elixir of life? When did you stop caring about such trivial matters?
"Look carefully, don't miss anything." Li Chunfeng said.
"Daozhang Li." A voice interrupted. It was Princess Danyang's car passing by. It seemed like an unintentional greeting, but Princess Danyang's eyes were searching in the moonlight.
"your Highness."
Li Chunfeng turned around and bowed his hands.
Princess Danyang said: "I have something important to do when I receive the account, so why do I have to worry about such trivial matters here?"
Li Chunfeng replied: "I came here to search for something under the emperor's order."
"What?"
Li Chunfeng looked embarrassed and hesitated whether to say anything.
Princess Danyang smiled: "I'm just asking casually. Isn't Taoist Li unwilling to disclose even this information?"
Li Chunfeng thought about it and said, "It's okay to tell the princess, but it's just a legend. Whether it's true or not, we don't know yet."
"Oh?" Princess Danyang became more and more curious, "What legend?"
"When immortals in the world die, their golden elixir will remain in the world. This golden elixir may become the key to the elixir of longevity."
Princess Danyang's eyes lit up, she glanced around and asked cautiously: "So, there might be a magical golden elixir hidden under these ruins?"
"I don't know yet. After all, it is a legend. The matter of the golden elixir is too illusory. What is the truth? I will only know it after searching."
Princess Danyang nodded: "Taoist Li has been studying immortality for so long. It's rare to hear Taoist say so confidently. Is the golden elixir really so effective?"
"Of course, immortal things are not available in the human world. As long as you get them, you can get the elixir of immortality." After saying that, Li Chunfeng sighed again, "Hey, it's just a fantasy of a poor man. It is said that even if there is a golden elixir, it can transform into an immortal. There is only a 10% chance that the golden elixir will be left behind. Now that the immortal has been destroyed by the catastrophe, it has been reduced to ashes, and the chance of finding the golden elixir is slim."
"I see." Princess Danyang thought thoughtfully, and then smiled, "Daozhang Li continues to be busy, and I will leave first."
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Danyang's sedan slowly left, and a dark shadow gradually appeared next to the sedan.
The princess smiled at the sight and said slowly: "Can you hear me clearly?"
"Golden elixir..."
…
Three days later, Lingyan Pavilion was completed.
The original plan was that the emperor would personally deliver the painting to the attic and give the twenty-four heroes the highest honor.
But the ministers also knew that what happened in the imperial city three days ago had severely damaged the emperor's mind, and they didn't know whether the emperor would still be able to show up today.
Logically speaking, sending the portrait to the attic for enshrinement is just a process, and the emperor does not have to do it himself.
More symbolic than practical.
What's more important is that there was destruction on such a scale, and even a shocking sentence was left behind.
At this time, the emperor probably won't show up.
If even basic safety cannot be guaranteed, what else can we talk about?
Many ministers were waiting at the entrance of the palace. Looking back, they could see the ruins in the imperial city.
Bai Song was also among them, with Lord Zhang Liang and Zhang beside him.
The two of them together are eye-catching.
Many ministers are secretly thinking, are the two of them plotting something terrible again?
Zhang Liang is Bai Song's spokesperson in the court, and any disturbance in Bai Song deserves attention.
Someone quietly moved not far away from the two of them, pretending not to care, but actually eavesdropping on their exchange.
"Yu Han's body is gradually showing up. When can we find out whether he is a boy or a girl?"
"It's difficult to check, but it's not necessary to check."
"Aren't you a miracle doctor? Can't you find out such a trivial matter?"
"Master Zhang, do you want it to be a boy or a girl?"
"Of course it's a boy! I don't have anyone to inherit my family fortune, so I'm counting on Yu Han's children."
"That's probably a girl."
"impossible!"
"I like baby girls."
"It's a boy."
"girl."
The eavesdroppers were confused. What these two people were talking about was a little different from what they imagined.
The two bosses actually quarreled at the gate of the palace over having a boy or girl.
Perhaps the two people were making a little too much noise, so people around them turned their heads.
At this time, the door of the palace opened, and the emperor's cavalry team came in a mighty manner.
Seeing the emperor sitting among them, the ministers' expressions changed.
Everyone knelt down and saluted: "Long live the Emperor."
Today, Li Shimin was dressed up and ready. Although his face still showed fatigue, his eyes were domineering and majestic. With a wave of his hand, the team set off.
The team was traveling in great force, and Bai Song discovered a person from Luan Jia's team.
Then his jaw dropped.
"Xiao Wu?"
How...how could he be carried in a sedan chair among the emperor's team?
Bai Song's heart tightened, thinking that history was correcting, right?
Li Shimin can even attack such a young girl?
But upon closer inspection, something seemed wrong.
History is correcting, but not in another direction.
Xiaowu uses Princess Luanjia.
At this time, Xiao Wu on the sedan also saw Bai Song, stood up and waved vigorously: "Brother!"
The cry of "Brother" was clear and loud, attracting curious glances from the people around him.
Wu Xiaowu is a strange face, and traveling in a princess car is very eye-catching.
Everyone was puzzled, how could this little girl have the princess's companion? Who is she?
Why did the emperor bring her here today?
At this time, the father-in-law beside him said loudly: "This is the emperor's newly appointed Princess Ping An, and she is the emperor's righteous daughter."
It turned out to be the adopted daughter!
Everyone was stunned, but the treatment enjoyed by this adopted daughter was different.
There was no concubine in the harem, nor any prince except the prince, but only this princess.
What kind of special treatment is this?
It’s incredible to think about.
Seeing Xiao Wu waving to him, Bai Song glared at Xiao Wu fiercely.
Xiao Wu was so frightened that he quickly sat down and did not dare to look any further.
Entering the palace this time can be said to be self-inflicted, or it can be regarded as being instigated by others.
This elder brother has always opposed Xiao Wu's involvement in the palace, and the entire palace knows this.
And Xiaowu was curious why he couldn't go to the palace?
Thinking like this every day made her full of fantasy and curiosity about the high palace wall.
In addition, a sister-in-law told her that someone in the palace would be harmful to her brother, and now she needed a trustworthy person to enter the palace as an internal agent.
Accepting the mission of protecting her brother, Xiao Wu naturally obliged. Under the operation of the sister-in-law, someone quickly took her to the palace.
Xiao Wu thought that she would serve the emperor, but she didn't expect that the emperor would be so kind and accept her as his adopted daughter, but instead he would serve him.
