Perhaps out of safety considerations, the furnishings in the Penglai Pavilion have been simplified in the past few days.Lu You only saw a table, a few chairs, and a floor-standing palace lantern, and the rest was a dragon couch, which was placed in the center without any support.

He walked over and saw Emperor Huiming lying on the bed and taking a nap.

In just a few days, the ruler of Daning seemed to have experienced thousands of hardships. His face was covered with wind and frost, and his temples were gray. If he ignored the luxurious clothes, he was not much different from ordinary mountain old men.

Two sons died and one son wasted.Foreign relatives and ministers intervene in politics, the queen's rooster is in charge of the morning, the harem is bleak and withered, and he is poisoned with strange and strange poisons... It seems that this emperor who is indifferent to the world and even a little timid can't find his inner truth in the escape. calm.

Looking back on the past, Lu You felt a little pitiful for Emperor Huiming.

If there is a theory of previous life and present life, this old man may be his father in the previous life.Father and son, monarch and minister, no matter which one is a very special bond.

But so what?Speaking of which, is it possible that he still has to recognize Empress Xiao as his mother?

Lu You dispelled the momentary trance in his heart, and turned his gaze to the closed grille window not far away.

You should still think about what direction the court situation will develop after the death of Emperor Huiming...

He was thinking to himself when his right hand, which was propped on the side of the bed, was suddenly grasped.

"...!"

Lu You immediately looked down, and Emperor Huiming opened his eyes at some point.

His eyes were protruding and bloodshot, which did not match his thin face.And the pupils are surprisingly small, as if they are always in terror.

Lu You met those eyes abruptly, naturally feeling apprehensive in his heart.He hurriedly wanted to salute, but he couldn't withdraw his hand.

Emperor Huiming firmly grasped Lu You's wrist, his chapped lips moved twice, and a hoarse voice came out.

"Yang...Yang'er?"

Lu You froze for a moment, shook his head softly and said, "Your Majesty, this humble minister is Lu You."

Emperor Huiming still opened his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't understand his explanation clearly.

"Yang'er...you disobedient bastard! Where have you been fooling around for such a long time?"

Having said that, he stopped abruptly, his eyebrows and beard tightly knit together.

"That's not right... Yang'er died a long time ago... He died in Huiqing Palace!"

Lu You thought that the emperor was quite sensible, but Emperor Huiming's next sentence made him speechless.

"So...you are Xu'er? Xu'er...you are finally willing to come back to see me! Xu'er, Xu'er...the people outside thought I was crazy, but in fact, I heard what they said clearly They all want to murder me! Xu'er, you have to protect me!"

Lu You saw that he was unconscious, no matter how much he explained, it might not help, but after thinking about it, he had another idea.

"...Father."

He would make mistakes, and said in a low voice: "My son is not filial, and has never been able to accompany my father. But my son knows that my father has been in poor health for these years and has to take medicine every day, and my uncles and brothers in the clan have similar pains." .Actually, the purpose of my child’s absence from the palace during this time is to find a solution... It’s just that the medicine should be used according to the symptoms. I beg you to give me some advice on how this disease was planted.”

Emperor Huiming opened his mouth stupidly, and listened to this fabricated reason very seriously.He thought about it slowly for a while, and then began to repeat three words.

"Nong... Nong Yulou, Nongyulou..."

Isn't Nongyu Building exactly the small island in the lake where Qi Yunchu once stayed?

Lu You remembered that the Nongyu Tower was built by the founding emperor of the Daning Dynasty, Taizu Zhao Huachun. The original intention was unknown, but successive emperors selected those young and beautiful teenagers from among the eunuchs and sent them to the Nongyu Tower.

How could the Gu poison in the body of this clan member be related to a long-abandoned Nanfeng building?

Just as Lu You was thinking, the force that had been holding onto his wrist suddenly became several times stronger!

"No, no..." Emperor Huiming's protruding eyes suddenly widened.

"Xu'er, Xu'er, you are already dead. You died on the boat in Donghai Pond... When they picked you up, I was standing by the side of Donghai Pond...My Xu'er, you are already dead, dead!"

He still remembers!Lu You suddenly became nervous.

Although the current Emperor Huiming is not something to be afraid of, it would still be inappropriate if someone knew that he was pretending to be Zhao Xu and slandering Emperor Huiming.

Or simply make Emperor Huiming faint, even if it is mentioned in the future, it will only be regarded as a fantasy dream by himself.

Just when Lu You was having a headache, Emperor Huiming calmed down again. He looked at Lu You with horror and fear.

"Could it be that you are here to pick me up? Xu'er... are you here to pick me up to go to the underworld?!"

Just as Lu You was about to answer, there was a sudden sharp pain on his wrist, and it turned out that Emperor Huiming twisted it nearly a circle, and firmly held the pulse door.

"No, no... I don't want to die yet! I'm fine, you... you go back, don't pester me anymore. Get out, get out!"

It is not difficult for Lu You to break free from the shackles of brute force. However, the opponent is a Ninth Five-Year Master after all. If there is even the slightest uncertainty, so that the dragon's body is injured, it will be a real "indiscriminate disaster".

Thinking of this, he could only shout loudly, wanting the eunuchs and Tianliang Xing outside to come and help dissuade them.However, it was too late to say it, only to hear a "click", and there was an indescribable pain in his wrist, which was already slightly twisted.

Lu You was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he instinctively slapped Emperor Huiming away, and withdrew his hand to check.

Emperor Huiming was patted back on the bed by him, and his head happened to hit the carved bed rails, and he let out a scream.But at this juncture, the door not far away was pushed open.

Things have come to this point, there is only play by ear.While being wary of Emperor Huiming, Lu You turned his head while clutching his wrist.

There were two people who came, one was Tianliang Xing, and the other was someone Lu You knew very well but hadn't seen for a long time.

"... Duke Qiu!"

During this period of time, Qi Yunchu stayed in Liuquan to investigate the voodoo chaos.Lu You almost forgot the reassuring and calm feeling when this person stood beside him.

After calming down for a while, he realized that the most urgent task was to stabilize the ill Emperor Huiming.

Lu You and Qi Yunchu assisted Tian Liangxing to insert silver needles into Emperor Huiming's Baihui, Fengfu, Tianzhu and other acupoints.After about half a cup of tea time, Emperor Huiming, who had been talking nonsense and dancing around, finally settled down, leaning on the dragon bed and shaking his body slightly.

"Your hand, come to me."

Tian Liangxing took Lu You's wrist to examine the injury carefully, and immediately frowned: "Although it's broken, it's not serious. Go outside, and I'll help you deal with it."

"Wait a minute, don't rush."

Lu You endured the pain, but turned his gaze to Qi Yunchu: "Mr. Qiu, why are you back? Is there something wrong with Liuquan City?"

Qi Yunchu shook his head, "I need you to pay more attention to what happened in Liuquan City in the future. I'm going back to the palace this time to say goodbye."

"Farewell?! That is to say, you are leaving Zichen Palace?"

But Qi Yunchu didn't answer directly, blocked Lu You away with one hand, walked to the dragon couch, knelt down without saluting, and just looked down at the dull Emperor Huiming.

"Your Majesty, Nan Jun is not dead."

Without warning, he revealed the truth that he had been concealing all along: "The carrion in Yunmeng Swamp was not Nan Jun, he was still alive."

Lu You knew the news a long time ago, and at this moment, he quickly observed the expression of Emperor Huiming - the old man who was still dumbfounded just now raised his eyebrows slightly at this moment.

"The little prince is not dead?" Tian Liangxing was also deeply surprised: "Then do you know where he is now?"

"I didn't know it before, but now I finally have some clues."

Qi Yunchu walked to the window and opened it to let fresh air flow into the dark room.

"Now I have very reliable news. He should be in Guirong, or hiding in the depths of Yunmeng Marsh. I want to find him and try my best to bring him back."

The clear sunlight in the autumn afternoon came in from behind him, so bright that it was impossible to see the expression on his face clearly.

However, Lu You guessed that Qi Yunchu must have a look on his face that he had never seen before.Before his full head of long hair turned into a snowflake, this kind of expression might appear more often on that handsome and flawless face.

"Nan... Nan Jun... is alive..."

Emperor Huiming, who had been silent since the acupuncture treatment, also made a fragmented sound at this time.

Lu You turned his head to take a closer look, and found that his pupils had recovered to be no different from ordinary people, and tears pooled in his eye sockets, and soon a drop fell down.

It was only then that Lu You realized that there was still a mistake in his calculation just now - not only Zhao Xu and Zhao Yang, but Zhao Nanxing was also Emperor Huiming's son.Knowing that King An Le is still alive, this may be the best news this old and sick father can hear at this moment.

However, even if Prince An Le was found back from Gui Rong, so what?

Zhao Jing is already the crown prince. Once Emperor Huiming dies, he will justifiably become the ruler of the Daning Dynasty... At that time, the return of Zhao Nanxing will probably bring about a bloodbath.

Thinking of this, Lu You couldn't help feeling worried.

At the same time, he heard the sound of the window being closed again.

Qi Yunchu, who was far away from the light, walked to the side of the dragon bed step by step.

He is tall and tall, with silver hair like snow, and looks like a banished fairy.Compared with him, Emperor Huiming looked like a dead man who had stepped into hell.

The two people with very different descriptions looked at each other silently.

Before speaking again, Qi Yunchu took a unique deep breath.

"Zhao Wei."

He actually boldly called Emperor Huiming by his first name.

"If you still remember that you are the emperor who shoulders the responsibility of the world, then show your unparalleled courage in this life and live until the day when Nan Jun returns. Otherwise... From the moment you die, Daning will never have a peaceful day. You will die because of your Zhao family, and all of us will have blood on our hands because of your incompetence..."

Emperor Huiming didn't speak.

He seemed to be tightly strangled by a pair of invisible big hands, but he shook his body slightly, trembling like a crumbling dead tree.
