In the cold palace.
Zhu Gaolie was still talking at length, and even began to quote scriptures to express his admiration for his imperial brother Zhu Gaozhen.
At this time, Peng An, who had calmed down, felt that he might have misunderstood Zhu Gaolie. As the supreme emperor, how could he endure such a shame and humiliation?
after all.
In the battle for the throne, it is not uncommon for fathers to kill their sons and brothers to kill their brothers. Even if you are defeated for a moment, as long as you are alive, you will have a chance to make a comeback!
Therefore, His Majesty's current performance must be to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time.
Just like he was before!
So, Peng An hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said: "Your Majesty, there are no outsiders here..."
"..."
Zhu Gaolie was suffocated at that time.
I thought to myself, after I have said all this, do you think I am giving you the ecstasy soup?
So, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Daban, this is what I really think."
"I know it, I know it!"
Peng An nodded repeatedly.
He thought to himself, it seems that after this incident, His Majesty has obviously become more cautious and cautious.
However, Zhu Gaoyan dared to let His Majesty go. He must have had a handle on His Majesty and had countermeasures to make His Majesty behave so cautiously and tread on thin ice!
Even... he has a strong fear of Zhu Gaoyan!
"It seems that it is time for me, Peng An, to serve His Majesty to the death!"
Peng An secretly made up his mind to help Zhu Gaolie cheer up and regain the country that belongs to His Majesty!
correct!
He suddenly remembered something, and that was the Life-Defending Heavenly Pill!
Now that my birthday is approaching, I am afraid that this elixir will be finished soon, or it may have already been completed!
"It's ridiculous that Zhu Gaozhen is so arrogant that he released His Majesty as a puppet. It's better to use the trick. If we can get the Dingshou Tiandan and give it to His Majesty..."
"Then it's inevitable, great things can happen!"
Peng An felt that the blood that had cooled down just now was boiling again!
"However, we must proceed with caution in this matter and not be careless. Your Majesty now has a huge psychological shadow on Zhu Gaoyu, and I am afraid that he does not dare to use this elixir rashly, so I still have to take action!"
He made up his mind to get the Dingshou Tiandan and feed it to His Majesty himself!
Well, just pretend to be giving medicine!
When the time comes, Your Majesty will be able to rebuild the country and soar into the sky!
Here, Zhu Gaolie planned to visit the harem. After looking at Peng An's rather embarrassed appearance, he said: "My mate, you freshen up and change clothes first. I will go to the harem for a walk. You can come find me later." Bar!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Peng An took a look at himself and saw that he was indeed in a sorry state, so he nodded in agreement.
Zhu Gaolie then walked away.
Not long after leaving the cold palace, Zhu Gaolie sat on the chariot and hummed happily.
"My beloved concubine, are you okay?"
Tap tap tap.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from behind.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"
"Um?"
Zhu Gaolie followed the sound and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter!"
An old eunuch knelt down on the ground, walked forward on his knees, stopped about ten feet in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, Yingtianguan Lingxiaozi and all the founders of the alchemy lineage have come to offer elixirs to your majesty!"
"Oh? Offer pills?"
Zhu Gaolie didn't care, though. The Taoist sect had offered too many elixirs, so he waved his hand and said casually, "Let the Ministry of Rites accept it first, and then give them two Taoist secrets, and then send them away!"
The old eunuch was stunned.
That's the legendary magic pill, the Longevity-Defending Heavenly Pill, so how do you deal with it?
He observed Zhu Gaolie's nonchalant look and thought that His Majesty's move must have a deep meaning. Could it be that... what's wrong with this elixir?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The old eunuch's mind was spinning rapidly, but he remained calm. After bowing, he quickly left.
In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Ling Xiaozi and others were waiting at the entrance of the palace.
Ling Xiaozi's palms were sweating as he held the bottle of Dingshou Tiandan. He was still frightened by the near-death incident.
"However, all the founders have made great contributions to the success of the elixir this time. Not only will Emperor Ming give you a reward later, we can also successfully hand over the decree within the Tao. If all the founders can achieve Taoism in the future, my elixir lineage will be greatly prosperous!"
Ling Xiaozi looked at the people present and said respectfully.
"Not bad!"
"It's just a pity that Brother Zhong Yan fell before dawn!"
"However, Ling Xiaozi, you also have great achievements. You achieved it at a critical moment, and even combined the nine elixirs with your own efforts. From now on, you and I, the founders of the alchemy lineage, can treat each other as Taoist friends!"
Everyone spoke one after another.
After all, Ling Xiaozi not only successfully kept the Fen Dan when Jingjie was a disaster for Tianguan, but also completed the combined refining, which is naturally a great achievement. It is logical to be ranked with them!
But just when they were fully expecting a heavy reward from Emperor Ming, an old eunuch came quickly dragging the Minister of Rites.
The old eunuch looked at them and said: "Just give the elixir to the Minister of Rites. This is the Taoist secret given by your Majesty. You can go back after taking it!"
The coldness in his words was like a basin of water poured on Ling Xiaozi and others.
They were all confused.
How could he be treated so coldly!
This is the longevity-defining heavenly elixir, the holy elixir of nine tribulations, the legendary elixir that can not only determine longevity, but also resist the erosion of the imperial dragon energy!
They were in a daze, but the Minister of Rites was not in a daze.
He went up and snatched the medicine bottle from Ling Xiaozi's hand, and then put it into his arms.
"Your Majesty, you still trust me after all!"
The Minister of Rites thought happily.
Last time, because he participated in the performance of Yang Fan, the director of the West Factory, his Majesty unexpectedly issued a commendation order for this person, so that he was worried for a long time, fearing that His Majesty would liquidate him afterwards.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty would now entrust him with such a big matter as the Dingshou Tiandan, which shows His Majesty's trust!
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Ling Xiaozi and others could only comfort themselves when they saw the Dao Jue handed over by the old eunuch. Maybe this was some shocking Dao Jue!
After receiving the Taoist formula, a group of veteran Taoists all looked over and almost wanted to vomit blood!
"Air entrainment technique!"
"The Bigu Book!"
The former is a method for building the foundation of a Taoist sect, and the latter is a method for fasting and purifying the body. They almost tore through the pages of the book, and they were sure that this was an ordinary Taoist secret, not the supreme magic method they imagined at all!
Ling Xiaozi felt uneasy.
From Emperor Ming's strange cold reception, he felt a bit frightened and suspected that there might be some secret that he didn't know!
But the faces of the eight Alchemy Patriarchs turned black.
For a long time, they did not hesitate to stop their own practice, collect various precious medicinal materials, and refine it day and night, and finally made this elixir.
But now, give them two Tao-breaking techniques?
They hate it so much that their teeth are itching, but they are not stupid and can practice to this point. Many of them are not even born in one life, and their thoughts are naturally more serious.
"The current Emperor Ming's actions must have a deeper meaning!"
"It's so unpredictable!"
