Unable to offend the villain, Shen Mochi found a corner in the dark and squatted down.
Before half a stick of incense had been burned in the hall, there was a purring sound, just like a cat.
Seeing the unsuspecting host 113 sleeping under the villain's nose, it wanted to hold its forehead. It was about to wake up the host when it heard a movement in the house.
Song Yuan, who was originally lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, took out a fire stick from under the pillow and lit it, then stood up and put on his coat.
When she walked to the door, she paused, glanced down at the young man on the ground, then pushed open the right door that was not blocked by the young man, and left the palace.
The palace door opened and closed, but Shen Mochi didn't notice it at all.
As soon as Song Yuan walked out of the palace, Shi Qi walked out of the darkness and knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, do you want to go to the underground palace?"
"Go to the underground palace." Song Yuan said calmly after putting out Huozhezi.
The underground palace is located below the study.
Go down the stone stairs from the secret passage. At the bottom of the stairs is a pool of medicine spring.
An old man with a white beard stood beside the medicinal spring. When he saw Song Yuan appear, he immediately came up to greet him. He had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness is much later than before today. Did something happen to you?"
"It's not a big deal, let's get started."
Song Yuan supported the saluting old man with his right hand, raised his left hand slightly, and placed the silk and satin around the medicinal spring to cover all the scenes in the medicinal spring.
At the same time, Shi Qi walked in with two pairs of handcuffs made of dark iron hinges: "Your Highness."
Taking the iron cuffs from Shi Qi's hand and putting them on skillfully, Song Yuan took off his outer shirt and walked to the medicine spring wearing only his middle coat.
The old man waited until he saw Song Yuan walking into the medicine spring before taking Shi Qi away. He did not forget to lock the iron door of the underground palace before leaving.
As for what will happen in the underground palace in the future, Tiemen cannot control it.
After retreating into the secret passage, Qi Qi frowned and said cautiously: "Yao Lao, when will your highness's situation get better?"
"It's almost time." The old man turned around with a kind smile and replied stroking his beard, "Your Highness will be able to control the Gu worms in your body five times at most. This is a happy event for His Highness."
Back then, the queen was vying for favor and was bewitched by others. Her body became increasingly weak and unable to have children. The prince became the queen's demon to relieve the poison.
In those years, the prince was in a pile of poisonous insects as soon as he woke up, and spent every day with the poisonous insects. Under such circumstances, His Highness had to endure the bites of the poisonous insects in his body to see the Taifu without being attacked. Found something wrong.
"His Royal Highness has finally overcome all these years of suffering."
"Yes." Seventeen's hand tightened on his side. What the prince has endured over the years will one day be returned from those people.
In the medicinal spring.
Song Yuan slowly took off her clothes, revealing her scarred skin. Black lines appeared on the surface of her skin, and these lines were full of wriggling poisonous insects.
The Gu worms bit and devoured her skin, because the fighting would occasionally cut open her skin and fall out. After the fallen Gu worms devoured the leader, they would bite open her skin and crawl back.
Soon a layer of scarlet appeared on the green medicinal spring, and the blood mixed with the medicinal water made the Gu insects in Song Yuan's body even more excited.
Song Yuan leaned against the edge of the pool, clenching her hands into fists. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, sweating profusely.
When she first became Cui Jiaoniang's medicine man, she simply refused to do anything and asked medicine boss Liu Xiansheng to directly use her to refine the gu.
Facts have proved that she made the right bet, which is why she has such unpredictable martial arts skills now.
Time passed little by little, and Liu Xiansheng and Shi Qi were not talking.
When a bell rang in the palace, Liu Xiansheng and Shi Qi immediately stood up straight and raised their ears, and there was a loud noise in the underground palace.
Song Yuan's eyes were blood red, and her black hair was forced to turn white by the chaotic internal force, dancing wildly behind her. The medicinal spring she was in exploded, and the spring water splashed and fell. The shackles on her body restrained her to prevent her from destroying the entire underground palace.
At this time, there was a little gold squirming in Song Yu's blood-red eyes. It was the golden Gu in her body that helped her suppress other Gu insects.
"The golden Gu is stirring. Your Highness's medicinal spring was too short this time. I don't know if I can withstand the restlessness of the golden Gu." Liu Xiansheng's voice was filled with uneasiness.
This time the Golden Gu moved obviously faster than before. In the past, there would be such a big movement only half a quarter of an hour after the bell rang.
Taking a medicinal bath and letting the other Gu bugs kill each other first, so as not to arouse the murderous nature of the Golden Gu. All they did was to suppress the Gu King's backlash.
"Your Highness! Protect your heart and stabilize your Dantian first. There is not enough time for medicinal bath today, so it may be difficult for the golden Gu to calm down!"
"Seventeen, go and tell Li Fu that His Highness is not feeling well today and cannot go to court. Ask him to stay with the old emperor."
"Okay." Seventeen nodded, glanced worriedly in the direction of the underground palace, and quickly left the secret passage.
"After so many years, your Highness, you must hold still." Liu Xiansheng murmured. If His Highness hadn't gone crazy due to the restlessness of the Gu insect, he would have rushed in at this moment.
As her consciousness drifted, Song Yuan barely caught Liu Xiansheng's voice. With difficulty, she raised her hands to seal several of her big holes.
Three quarters of a hour.
Tai Chi Hall.
The old eunuch stood outside the palace and looked thoughtfully at the palace maid who walked into the palace to help the old emperor change clothes. Before he could think of anything, a black shadow passed by him.
Li Fu was startled, and raised his fly whisk to stop the shadow: "Be brave, your Majesty is changing clothes, and he bumped into the holy face, can you bear it?"
"Eunuch Li, I have something important to report to Your Majesty." The man who was stopped was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guard Commander.
Seeing Eunuch Li's hairless face, I broke out in a cold sweat. Afterwards, I realized that I almost broke into the emperor's palace without permission.
"I was patrolling near the East Palace last night. I saw General Shen taking General Shen and the two to the East Palace, so I followed him to have a look. I actually saw that the Shen family had joined the crown prince."
"Commander, don't be anxious. I'll talk to you later when I see His Majesty. If you are anxious, I will let you know first." Li Fu twisted his orchid finger and poked the shoulder of the commander of the Imperial Guard.
"Not urgent."
The man shook his head. He was just too excited to find out that the Shen family had formed a party with the prince for personal gain, so he came to Tai Chi Hall early in the morning. Now he was scolded by Eunuch Li and completely calmed down.
"Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Li's assistant, to tell His Majesty." After some thought, the man took out a silver coin from his waist and handed it to Eunuch Li.
Li Fu had served the old emperor for decades and was the emperor's most trusted person. It was better for him not to mess with the Shen family's collusion with the prince and let Li Fu handle it.
"Okay, don't worry, Commander. I will definitely tell your Majesty." Eunuch Li smiled happily with his money.
The man didn't stay long and turned to leave.
After seeing off the commander of the Imperial Guard, Li Fu threw the ingot of silver to the young eunuch behind him and said with a cold face: "If someone leaks what happened today to the emperor, the Zajia family will let your body lie across the moat tomorrow."
The little eunuch trembled and lowered his head: "Don't worry, godfather, anyone who heard about this today will take care of it."
"Smart, Zajia likes smart people like you."
While the two were talking, the emperor, who had already changed into his dragon robe, walked out of the Tai Chi Palace surrounded by his maids.
Li Fu withdrew his gaze from the young eunuch and walked towards the emperor. When he reached the emperor, he raised his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, just now the commander of the Imperial Guard came over and said that the prince is not feeling well today and will not come to the morning court."
"Then take a good rest."
The emperor put his hand on Eunuch Li's and was helped up to the dragon's door.
"Yuan'er, this child is not in good health. He gets sick every three days and gets sick every five days. Later, I will ask someone to send more supplements to the East Palace, and also send a few imperial doctors to take a look."
"Okay, are you asking Liu Xiansheng to go?"
"Well, just him." As a father, he still needs to know what's going on with Song Yuan's health.
"Yes, I will send someone to take care of it soon." The smile on Li Fu's face deepened.
After so many years, the emperor still does not trust His Highness the Crown Prince. Is this kind of vigilance worthy of an emperor?
