Rebirth and wait for death

It is still the same as in memory, even the plants and trees in the palace seem to maintain the same appearance as before.

The palace servants and guards seemed to be respectful, but in fact they all hid their own thoughts, calculating how to save their lives anytime and anywhere, and how to take people's lives silently.

In the end, Chuning was taken to the Zhengyuan Palace where the emperor was.

Here, it is still the same as before.The towering vermilion palace walls, the majestic palace gate, and the guards standing straight at the gate with knives made Chuning feel as if he had instantly returned to the time when he was called here for questioning a few years ago when he was just reborn.

Now, he has returned here again, but his identity is no longer that of a noble prince, but just a commoner.

At this moment, the closed door slowly opened from the inside, and a familiar figure walked out.

This person is the emperor's confidant, Eunuch Cui. Although his hair is completely white, his complexion is still rosy, with a healthy luster, his eyes are not sharp, but they are shining with wisdom. In illustration, this person is unfathomable.

Chu Ning glanced at him hastily and then quickly looked away, fearing that the eunuch who had always been sharp-eyed would recognize his true identity.

Chu Ning didn't dare to look at him, but he looked directly at Chuning, and said in a shrill voice: "It turns out that the Lord Chen Dao has arrived, and this is Mr. Lin, the successor of the medical sage. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, please. "

Hearing this long-lost voice, Chuning inevitably became more nervous.

The hand hidden in the sleeve secretly pinched the palm, and the tingling pain made Chuning's mind clearer, and he was no longer as nervous as before.

Following behind Chen Dao, he walked in with his head down.

After walking a few steps, Chen Dao knelt down on one knee and said, "Chen Dao, Lord of Yangcheng, I greet Your Majesty!"

Chu Ning frowned, and hurriedly knelt down: "Caomin Lin Ning, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Pingshen," the emperor's voice sounded full of air, but with the usual indifference.

After the two got up, he said again: "Give me a seat."

Chen Dao bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sitting down."

Chuning had no choice but to salute accordingly.

After sitting down, Chuning raised his head and looked at the emperor.

Then, he couldn't help frowning, and the alarm bells rang out in his heart.

Chuning found that the emperor was looking at him with burning eyes.

Seeing that Chu Ning looked different, the emperor who had been watching him suddenly raised a smile: "What? It's just been out for three years, and even your father doesn't recognize him?"

Chu Ning was startled suddenly when he heard the words, as if a turbulent wave was set off in his heart, he could no longer calm down, panicked in his heart, and accidentally knocked down the teacup with his hand.

The crisp sound of porcelain shattering came from under his feet, hot water splashed out, and a large part of Chuning's trousers was splashed, but Chuning had no time to take care of it. He looked at the emperor in astonishment, with a look of panic on his face: "You know ?”

"What? Do you think you can hide it from me?" The emperor smiled again, but his face was mocking, "When you left with Mo Fan three years ago, I knew that you were not dead."

"So, you let Chen Dao take me into the palace because you knew it was me?" Chu Ning said, looking at Chen Dao with an ugly expression.He now understands that Chen Dao did not bring him into the palace just for the sake of immortality.

"That's right." The emperor replied without hesitation, "Then do you know why I asked Chen Dao to take you into the palace?"

Maybe it was because everything was said, Chu Ning's face was no longer flustered at the beginning. He looked at the emperor with a calm expression, and after a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "Since you would acquiesce in the death of the 'Fifth Prince' back then, why don't you let him die?" Mo Fan brought me out of the palace, and Chen Dao deliberately brought me into the palace this time, so naturally it wasn’t for my son. If I’m right, you’re doing it for the technique of immortality, right?”

"You are indeed right, you are worthy of being my son. At the beginning, I saw that you had no intention of staying in the palace, so I acquiesced to your death, and let Mo Fan take you away. If it is not a last resort, I will not bother you again. It's a pity that I have to bother you about something right now."

"What is it?" Chuning frowned, feeling that things seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

"I want Mo Fan to refine the elixir of life for me."

After hearing the emperor's word for word, Chuning's expression changed instantly.

77 house arrest

Chu Ning's face became very ugly. He thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that the emperor came to him because of Mo Fan!

Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, Chuning already understood that he had become a hostage used by the emperor to blackmail Mo Fan!

The imperial court colluded with the martial arts righteousness to deal with the cult, but now it seems that it is actually just a means used by the emperor to restrain Mo Fan.

At the beginning, Chu Ning didn't think about this, and only thought that the imperial court would unite with the righteous martial arts, but because of Mo Fan's deliberate actions, the cult's behavior became more and more rampant, which made the imperial court feel jealous and had to get rid of this thorn in the flesh.

Now, knowing that the emperor already knew his true identity, Chuning understood that things were not as simple as he thought.

I just don't know what's going on with Mo Fan.

Thinking that he had become a bargaining chip used by the emperor to blackmail Mo Fan, Chuning felt depressed for a while.

On the one hand, it seems that he is too useless, not only as a hostage, but also on purpose, and on the other hand, he will feel that he is a big trouble to Mo Fan who will only cause trouble!

Not reconciled, Chuning said, "Why, do you think Mo Fan can refine some medicine of immortality? That thing is nothing more than an illusory legend and delusion, right?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor laughed triumphantly: "Since he can bring the dead back to life, of course he can refine the medicine of immortality."

Chuning wanted to say something more, but seeing the fiery and madness in the emperor's eyes, he had no choice but to keep silent.

He remembered that this person had already turned into a lunatic long ago, he had never been normal, and it was useless to say anything now.

Rather than annoy him and make his situation more difficult, it is better to think about how to deal with it.

However, as soon as he calmed down, Chuning remembered the purpose of coming here, and then he looked at the emperor who looked a little crazy, and decided to take this opportunity to ask the truth.

So, he asked: "Three years ago, were you instigating Xiaowanzi to poison me?"

Hearing this, the emperor looked at him with eyes that seemed to devour people, a little scary: "Yes, it is indeed an order from me. Unexpectedly, you actually knew."

Even though Mo Fan had already heard about this matter, Chuning never wanted to believe that Xiao Wanzi, whom he had trusted for many years, would actually belong to the emperor and even poisoned him!

"That little ball, has always been your confidant?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Chuning's murderous intent was rampant in his heart, thinking of Xiaowanzi who used to be by his side, he wished he could go back to the past and kill him with his own hands!

At this moment, Eunuch Cui came in suddenly, walked up to the emperor quietly, and whispered something in his ear.

Chu Ning didn't hear what Eunuch Cui said, but after he finished speaking, Chu Ning saw the emperor's expression change instantly.

Just when Chu Ning was guessing what Eunuch Cui said in his heart, the emperor looked at him: "These days, you should stay in the side hall of Zhengyuan Palace for the time being."

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Cui walked up to Chuning, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully, "Doctor Lin, please come with our family."

Chu Ning was not a fool, so naturally he would not offend the emperor again at this time, so he obediently followed Eunuch Cui out.

Zhengyuan Palace has always been heavily guarded by soldiers, but now the side hall where he is going to stay is heavily guarded. I don’t know how many people have been arranged in the open and in the dark. Chuning looked at the guards who were all terrified, and finally entered the side hall helplessly .

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the side hall, Xiaodouzi was already waiting here.

Eunuch Cui took him to the side hall, explained a few words and went out again.Here, apart from him and Xiaodouzi, there was no one else, obviously the emperor didn't want to make a scene known to everyone.

As soon as Eunuch Cui left, Chuning said to Feiyun, "The Emperor wants to get Mo Fan out of his way. If you can escape, you should escape first."

But Feiyun said: "I won't leave, since Mo Fan asked me to protect you by your side, what will you do if I leave? Mo Fan will not agree."

"But I'm worried..."

Feiyun interrupted him: "Then I will take you away tonight."

"Can you escape with me?"

Fei Yun was silent, and after a while he said: "If those people don't stop me, I can take you out."

Chuning was puzzled: "Those people? Who are those people? You mean those strange people?"

Other than that, Chuning couldn't think of anyone else who could stop Feiyun.

But I have to say that he is still very curious about those people's strange skills, and he also has some admiration.

However, Fei Yun said with a face full of disdain: "What a strange person, it's just a monster like me."

"Monster?" Chu Ning was astonished. He only thought that those people had learned heresy techniques, but who knew that none of them were human?

Could it be that this world is too unreal.

Before, he always thought that the so-called monsters and ghosts were all fabricated by people. The things in the storybook did not exist in reality. Who knew that there were so many monsters in the world he lived in?

So those ghosts, do they also exist?

Thinking of the description of ghosts in the book, Chuning shivered for no reason.

Hearing what Feiyun said, Chuning naturally no longer wanted to escape with Feiyun.

He doesn't really care about his own safety, the emperor naturally intends to use him as a bargaining chip, so naturally he won't let
