All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 120 The Old Monster in the Cold Palace
"Before? Don't you see it that way now?"

He said why he always felt something was wrong when he received the official document.

According to the emperor's reputation, this kind of task can't fall into their hands at all, but listening to the fifth brother now, it seems that he doesn't think of the emperor as he did before.

"Didn't the second brother not want to mention it? Why did you bring it up?"

Is the second brother testing him?
"I'm just asking, that day, in Qingheju, you were very abnormal."

Lu Feng said first, and drove the horse forward.

Nangong Fenglin was left in a daze, but he couldn't scold the emperor in front of him, even though his father told him afterwards that the emperor would definitely understand in a crisis situation.

Huo Guang was satisfied at first, but his own people did not take the lead. If Dong Zhuo's people took the credit, wouldn't it mean that Dong Zhuo would gain face?

The conflict between Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang was not only at the Golden Luan Hall, but even after the court was over, the two had quarreled with each other red-faced.

Dong Zhuo didn't mean to be happy, but instead had a gloomy face. Several times before and after, he sent people there, intending to break the smooth autumn harvest.

Although Lu Fengxian is his adopted son, if the credit does not belong to him, then it won't work.

Huo Guang was even more involved in it. It was really not easy for them to harvest the autumn harvest.

"Dong Zhuo, originally I was thinking about how to subdue Lu Fengxian, but I didn't expect you to push back. It's really great."

Lu Fengxian just entered the court and received a mission, Dong Zhuo needn't be so anxious, exposing his ambition prematurely would definitely chill Lu Fengxian's heart.

How could Lu Fengxian, a cautious person, fail to find out that all this was caused by his beloved foster father behind the scenes.

With Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang working together to make trouble, the autumn harvest was not easy. Fortunately, Ling Xiao asked Li Dequan to go secretly with the imperial decree and money, and this solved the difficulty.

Lu Fengxian had lingering fears, maybe it would be a serious crime of beheading, does the foster father really not care about his life?
After both Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang withdrew, it would be easier for them to do things.

Ling Xiao originally thought that he could relax for a while, and ran more frequently in Qingheju!

Zhuo Qing has already found a craftsman, and the drawings have been modified to be more perfect.

But when the tunnel was dug to the palace, it was discovered that all the ground beneath the palace was filled with boulders.

This is not the kind of brittle stone that has been weathered, but rather hard.

Ling Xiao held the candle in his hand. With this ancient technology and no tools, how easy is it to hollow out this tunnel?
However, when ancient emperors built palaces, they liked to build tunnels in the palace so that they could store their national power when enemies came.

After searching for so many days, I still haven't found the secret passage of the palace. The late emperor passed away early, and I didn't explain it to him. Could it be true?

"Sixth brother, if it really doesn't work, forget it. Hit it with a hammer. The sound is too loud, and it will definitely attract the attention of the palace."

"Besides, we don't know how big this boulder is? If the palace is dug up and collapses, it will be bad!"

The implication is that they want to give up the idea of ​​digging tunnels to the palace.

Ling Xiao took the blueprint again. On this road, it should be the Nangong Gate. If you bypass the Nangong Gate and enter from the Leng Palace, the foundation there is not so thick.

"Third brother, wait a little longer, let me think about it!"

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the sixth younger brother, but Zhuo Qing's family has money and can afford it.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Ling Xiao was not calm.

"Li Dequan, guard the Zichen Palace and say that I fell asleep."

After changing into the clothes of a young eunuch, he went to the cold palace.

The current emperor is licentious and innocent, but he cherishes beauties very much and will never be thrown into the cold palace.

On the way to Lenggong, there are few people, even if there are a few eunuchs, they are used to the days when no one cares about them.

"emperor!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the outside of the cold palace, which was tattered and covered with cobwebs, and the door was only half open.

Being called out like this, Ling Xiao was taken aback, and turned around to see that it was Lu Youjin.

"How did you follow here?"

The Leng Palace has always been rumored to be haunted by ghosts, and few court ladies come here.

"Seeing the emperor sneaking around by himself, he thought you were not safe, so he came here."

"What is there to see in the cold palace?"

Now that everyone is here, it is impossible for Ling Xiao to drive away.

Pointing to the door, motioned to go in.

The two just pushed open the old wooden door, because the door hadn't been pushed open for a long time, making a loud noise.

"Squeak!"

The little eunuch who was pruning flowers and plants in another area was so frightened that his voice trembled, and no one came over.

"What, what, who?"

"Ah, there's a ghost!"

Ling Xiao: "..."

Looking at the running figure of the little eunuch, he curled his lips, how could there be ghosts in this day and night?
It's just that no one cares about the cold palace, and several former concubines died, so there will inevitably be rumors.

Lu Youjin suddenly grabbed his sleeve tightly, with such strength that Ling Xiao frowned.

"what happened?"

Turning his head to look, he saw Lu Youjin's frightened expression, shrinking behind him all the time.

Could it be that there are ghosts?
Looking up, he met a disheveled face, and that person stared at him intently.

With gray hair and dirt hidden in his nails, he attacked Ling Xiao.

Grab the grass and pull Lu Youjin out of the way.

"There are no ghosts in this world at all. Who is here who hasn't reported their names?"

The purpose of speaking is to strengthen his courage. This person's clothes probably have lived in the cold palace for many years.

He has never dealt with people before, maybe he is a psychopath.

If his martial arts were any higher, he and Lu Youjin would be hanging here today. If they had known, they would have brought Li Dequan with them.

Li Dequan has gained weight recently, so he will definitely be able to hug this man's legs, and he and Lu Youjin can also run away, so now they can only put all their eggs in one basket.

"Ha ha!"

The old monster's voice was hoarse and deep as if it had been stone-milled.

However, there was no further attack.

Ling Xiao's eyebrows were full of hesitation. If he went in, he might find other things. If he hit here after the tunnel, he would definitely pass through the cold palace.

However, you can't put your life in the hands of the old monster. Since he can understand and speak, his sanity should be fine.

"I don't mean to offend, I just left something in the limbo, come and look for it!"

After saying that, follow the corner of the wall and there is a door on the left. If the old guy doesn't agree, he can escape quickly.

Lu Youjin only thought that the emperor was crazy, the old guy was so scary, and the emperor wanted to go into the cold palace to find things.

Just now he was reckless and tried to protect Ling Xiao, but when he saw the old monster, he was so scared that he got into Ling Xiao's arms.

"Your Majesty, let's go!"

"Snapped!"

Following her cries and prayers, the old monster moved quickly, closed the door, and approached the two of them.

Oops, this old monster knows martial arts!
