The original boss left suddenly, leaving no one mentally prepared. After the fire, some said it was an accident, some said it was an enemy seeking revenge, and some said she was crazy. Among those who heard the news, Luo Xiuran was the calmest.
But now it seems that this is a backlash, and the stamina is even greater.
The original boss was gone and I could no longer ask about Luo Xiuran's life experience, but Luo Xiuran took the initiative to explain it to me.
His mother was indeed his father's wife, but she had a relationship with the king before they got married, and they had a child.
Moreover, the pregnancy was discovered only after the marriage. If this matter came to light, the whole family would be ruined.
The king could not recognize him, and his stepfather had to recognize him. His mother died of depression when he was a child. The secret of his life experience was told to him by his stepfather after his mother died.
Even after his mother's death, he could often hear the female relatives at home mocking and cursing his mother behind his back, and sometimes taking advantage of him.
He is a son of disgrace, an illegitimate son who is not expected by his parents and cannot be seen in the light of day.
His life experience is slightly similar to that of Bai Mudan. The difference is that during Bai Mudan's childhood and adolescence, he always lived in the love and pampering of the people around him.
Luo Xiuran's stepfather was very cold and harsh to him, always finding excuses to punish him by kneeling on the tiles.
The women in the backyard looked down upon him and never said anything malicious behind his back.
What his biological father can help him is to make him work hard to get ahead, so that he can naturally accept him as a confidant and give him power, money, and status in a way that is acceptable to the public.
The distortion of his native family caused him to grow up in a loveless environment.
He once thought that he did not have normal human feelings.
"I think you know how it feels."
"It's... not bad."
"Yes, even orphans have an easier time than me."
"There is no need to compare. The orphan's worry is life and death, not whether his parents love him or not."
I know that the original person had a difficult childhood. She had no time to worry about her parents because she could die at any time. All she thought about every day and every moment was how to survive.
No matter how miserable Luo Xiuran is, he is still a county king. He has lived in fine clothes since he was a child, and he is not in the same class as his original self.
There was no sympathy between the two.
He was talking and I was listening, just treating it as gossip and sighing and then passed it by.
The point is that he is crazy and it would be more troublesome for me to ascend the throne.
I have no relationship with the original boss, and I am not the heir she cultivated, and the original person is just a wage earner. I am not the original person, so why should I fulfill her boss’s ambitions?
I have my own plans and don't like to follow other people's plans.
But there was no need to get into trouble with Luo Xiuran at the moment. If he wanted to fulfill his lover's ideal, he should go into battle himself.
I persuaded him to stabilize the situation here first. He would be hesitant to tell me that the old king was poisoned because of his inner conflict and hesitation on whether to save his biological father.
He knew that I was a 'miracle doctor' and that I might have a way to detoxify the king.
But when the king wakes up, his plan to seize power will not go smoothly.
It is not difficult to let him wake up without preventing Luo Xiuran from seizing power.
Luo Xiuran was entangled, which meant that he didn't want the old monarch to lie in bed half alive until he died.
Although Emperor Shengyu was old and had already stepped into the coffin with one foot, as a son, he did not want his father's old age to end in this situation.
I understood his thoughts and said I had a solution.
We return to the palace. Luo Xiuran has a token that allows him to enter and exit the palace at will. The masters he ambushed in the city also appeared after he sent out the cloud-penetrating arrow signal.
He also has the token to mobilize troops inside and outside the imperial city.
He said that what Concubine Li had collected from the monarch was fake.
Luo Xiuran holds all the evidence of murdering the emperor and intending to rebel.
He summoned his ministers and led people into the palace, and captured Concubine Li, mother and son.
What else don't the people on the prince's side understand when they see the real token?
Luo Xiuran's identity is not a secret. Ordinary people don't know it, but there are seven or eight people in the ministers and harem who know about it.
My mission is to save Emperor Sheng Yu and go to his palace to detoxify him.
His dormitory was guarded openly by imperial guards and secretly protected by secret guards.
I took the form of martial arts and used my powers to challenge them all.
Not much time was used. Because they misjudged my 'martial arts', they fought me in close combat one after another, and I sucked away all their internal energy one by one.
If they find something wrong, they cannot escape. Their mission is to defend the palace.
I love how loyal they are and saves me a lot of time.
They lined up to rush forward to send their inner strength, and they lay down. There were four maids who knew martial arts in the palace.
I released Qi silk in advance to protect Emperor Sheng Yu. One of the palace ladies saw that the situation was not good and wanted to hit the old monarch first. Her dagger was blocked by the Qi silk shield, and the poisonous powder she spread was also blocked.
I fought with three other palace maids. They were very skilled as assassins, and the weapons they used were daggers and hidden weapons.
I reached out and slapped away one person's dagger, blocked another person's hidden weapon with my air shield, and raised my foot to kick the third palace maid.
She didn't have time to dodge and blocked it with her forearm, and her arm bones broke.
She used her inner strength, but this was the result. At this time, she already knew that there was a huge gap in strength between them and me, and this fight would definitely be lost.
So they took out wax pills that emitted poisonous smoke and squeezed them open, thinking that I would hide or take precautions.
But I didn't. Not only did I not hide, I also wrapped the wax ball with an air ball to prevent it from smoking.
I caught the three people who were in shock. They tried to escape, but were sucked by my 'Star Absorbing Technique' and fainted directly.
The fourth maid wanted to threaten me with Emperor Sheng Yu, but she found that Emperor Sheng Yu was protected by an invisible shield and she could not do it.
I finally caught her, knocked her unconscious and threw her out the door.
I walked to Sheng Yudi's bedside and gave him a comprehensive examination.
The toxins in his body were everywhere, integrated into every cell.
I can help him purify his cells, but this is very dangerous. His brain tissue and heart are also invaded by poisons.
When purifying poisons, there may be a very violent reaction. He is too old, just like those old and frail old people who need major operations. There is a high possibility that they will not be able to get off the operating table.
I told Luo Xiuran about the situation, and then went to the Prince's Mansion to look for clues.
The toxins contained in Sheng Yudi are for the purpose of addiction, not killing, and the charging time is particularly long. Therefore, I speculate that they extracted active cells from living creatures and fed them to Sheng Yudi.
If the living creatures are elsewhere, it is inconvenient to transport them and difficult to maintain cell viability.
Following this direction, I first went to the Prince's Mansion to search.
Luo Xiuran gave me another token, which allowed me to enter and leave any place in the capital at will. In the name of investigating the case, the officials could only cooperate and give me the green light to go all the way.
I sent secret guards to check the young prince's residence, and Luo Xiuran sent people to search Concubine Li's residence.
After checking, I determined that there was no problem with their residence, and then began to interrogate the employees in their house.
