Qi Demon Trap

With an uneasy mood, Zhu Jingchen let the Qi Demon hug him, flew high in the air all the way, and went straight to the palace.

"Father must be fine." He murmured in a low voice.

"Don't worry, with the deity here, the emperor will be fine." The big hand of the Qi Demon wrapped his cold palm.

In order to avoid scaring people, the Qi Demon used the invisibility technique to take him into the imperial bedroom in front of everyone.

At this moment it was time to light the lamps, the Empress had already returned to Fengxi Palace, and some eunuchs and court ladies were ordered by her to guard outside the palace to prevent unauthorized entry, so when the two entered the inner bedroom, there was no one around.

"Father!" Zhu Jingchen pushed away the Qi Demon, strode towards the dragon bed, and grabbed Father's hand.

It's a pity that the emperor kept his eyes closed all the time, no matter how much he shouted, he didn't respond, and his face was haggard and old.

"Let me come." The Qi Demon approached him quietly, and patted him on the shoulder twice.

"No matter what, we must save the father." Zhu Jingchen burst into tears, his star pupils were red and swollen.

The Qi Demon nodded, with five fingers covering the emperor's head, and several white lights shot out from his fingertips, quickly covering the emperor.

Zhu Jingchen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood aside, supported the bedpost, extremely nervous.

The white light slowly gathered towards the emperor's chest, something seemed to be wriggling under the dragon robe, and it moved faster and faster under the force of the white light.

"What is this?" Zhu Jingchen pointed at the dragon robe and exclaimed.

"Gu." The Qi Demon answered him while manipulating the white light.

Accompanied by his loud shout, white light wrapped Gu worms flew out from the emperor's slightly opened mouth, and fell into the hands of the Qi Demon.

"Hmm..." As soon as the Gu worm left the body, the emperor's eyelids moved, and Yoyo woke up.

"Father." Zhu Jingchen lay on the emperor's chest excitedly.

"You have crushed the emperor." Qi Demon sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Jingchen up from the emperor.

"Father, my son was agitated for a while, didn't he hurt you?" He said in a hurry, but seeing his father looking at him lovingly, his eyes turned red immediately, and tears welled up like springs.

"Emperor, don't worry, I'm fine." The emperor's face was not as pale as before, and he was much more energetic, but he didn't have the strength to sit up.

He hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's good that the father is fine, I scared my son to death."

"Who is this?" The emperor noticed the existence of the Qi Demon with sharp eyes.

The Qi Demon didn't wait for Zhu Jingchen to speak, and cupped his hands towards the emperor, saying, "I have seen the emperor against heaven."

He is a majestic Demon Lord, and he would usually disdain to salute human emperors, but the person in front of him is Jingchen's father, who can also be regarded as his future father-in-law, so he should be more polite.

"He is the savior of my son, and he was the one who lifted the Gu technique for my father just now. However, he has been living in the mountains, and he is not very clear about some rules in the palace. Please don't be offended by my father." Zhu Jingchen hurriedly stood up and explained to him. identity of.

"It's okay, sit down." The emperor looked at him carefully, nodding while watching.

Although the hair color and eyes are different from ordinary people, but his appearance is really outstanding, and he has saved Jingchen and his own life, his abilities are extraordinary, with such an expert staying by Jingchen's side, he doesn't have to worry anymore The queen and the crown prince are not good for Jingchen.

Before the Qi Demon could speak, Zhu Jingchen said first, "Thank you, Father." He pulled the Qi Demon to sit down.

"Your appearance is very strange. I have never seen a man with such an extraordinary bearing like you." The emperor was full of praise for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment, it's against nature to be born like this."

Zhu Jingchen couldn't help but look sideways at his modest attitude.

Qi demons have always been arrogant. When seeing him talk to people so politely, Zhu Jingchen naturally would not think that it was because he was facing the king of a country that the attitude of Qi demons changed. After all, the other party knew his identity and knowledge at the beginning. When it came to Brother Dahuang, he was still stubborn and arrogant. Could it be... because of himself?

In fact, he found that since the two had a relationship, although the Qi Demon sometimes still did his own way, he gave way to him in many small things, which moved him a little.

"Are your parents here?" the emperor asked again.

"No father and no mother."

"You're an orphan?!"

"Yes." One question and one answer, neither humble nor overbearing, this detached demeanor has already impressed the emperor.

"Forgive me, you saved Chen'er and me, what reward do you want?"

"Is everything okay?" The Qi Demon glanced at Zhu Jingchen intentionally or unintentionally, but in exchange for a stare from the other party.

It seems that he has really doted on Jingchen recently, and he is not afraid of him at all!The Qi Demon was not angry, but rather amused.

"Just mention it, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."

"If you can't even handle the housework well, you can boast so much, it's inevitable that you will have doubts." Qi Mo sneered.

Thinking of yesterday, his heart became cold. If he hadn't cast a spell on the white bead, Jing Chen would have been killed long ago!

And all of this is thanks to the human emperor in front of him.If he hadn't tolerated adultery and was indecisive in doing things, his wife and children had the courage to climb on top of him and do so many outrageous things!

"This..." The emperor was so embarrassed that he blushed.

"Guardian, don't talk about it." Zhu Jingchen hurriedly stopped.

"You're right, I'm sorry for Jingchen, I'll deal with the queen and the prince immediately." The emperor regained his normal expression, looking at Zhu Jingchen with eyes full of guilt.

His most beloved woman died unexpectedly. Not only did he fail to avenge her, even the only son she left to him almost died again and again.

Yes, he knew that the death of Aifei had nothing to do with the queen, but most of the officials in the court were uncles, so he couldn't touch her easily.

But what he had endured for many years was that the empress got worse. In order for the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly, the empress not only dealt with Jingchen, but also played tricks on him, her husband!

After being struck by the gu, he was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. The queen was sure that he was under control, and became more and more unscrupulous in front of him. When he was in a daze, he even heard the mother and son discussing how to deal with other princes and eradicate dissidents.

What Ni Tian said was right, it was he who indulged the mother and son that caused them to make the palace and the court into a mess, and he couldn't tolerate it any longer!

"Come on, bring the queen here for me!"

The imperial guards and the imperial eunuch guarding outside the palace were all taken aback when they heard the emperor's angry cry, but soon returned to normal, and the commander of the imperial guards immediately led his men to the harem.

When the imperial guards left, all the eunuchs rushed into the hall to see the emperor, but no one noticed that a young eunuch was missing.

Changle Palace

The queen was half lying on the couch, with one hand propped on the soft cushion under her body, and the prince was close to her ear, saying something, which made her giggle.

Suddenly, a little eunuch ran in in a panic, and said out of breath, "Mother, something is wrong." Looking carefully, he was the eunuch who disappeared from the dragon bed.

"Why are you panicking?" The queen's phoenix eyes were fixed, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She recognized this little eunuch as Eunuch Zhang's nephew. When she first entered the palace, she specially arranged to serve the emperor, just to control the movement around him.

"The emperor suddenly woke up and sent someone to arrest you." The little eunuch replied tremblingly.

"what?!"

"No, father must have known about it, queen mother, what should I do now!" The prince's face turned from green to white, anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Don't mess yourself up, let Ben Gong think about it." The queen held her forehead, feeling extremely headache.

How did things turn out like this?I thought it was safe, but I didn't expect the emperor to wake up. Damn it, she said a lot of things that shouldn't be said in front of him.

Moreover, witchcraft has always been the most taboo among the royal family, and now the evidence of the crime is convincing, the Li family and the crown prince can't even think about living.

Gritting her teeth secretly, the queen made a decision, "Now that things have come to an end, I will not stop doing anything. Prince, please inform your uncle as soon as possible, saying that the Dongchuang incident has happened, and ask him to second Fengcheng Wei's [-] troops, in the name of the Qing emperor's side." She We have to act first.

"Yes, my son will go right away." Zhu Jingyu hurried out.

The palace was in chaos, and there was no peace outside the palace. After the prime minister saw the prince, he immediately borrowed troops from his protégé Feng Chengwei and hurried to the palace.

The queen and the commander of the imperial guards were also at a stalemate. The commander of the imperial guards led the crowd to surround Fengxi Palace, but the queen remained unmoved.

"Qu Lang, I am the mother of the current dynasty, what crime should you commit if you offend me?"

The commander of the imperial guards said with a blank expression: "I am just following orders, my lord forgive me." Qu Lang stared at her in awe, and did not succumb to the queen's majesty.

"The emperor has long been out of his mind, you must not fall into other people's tricks." There was something in the queen's words, and she pointed her finger at Zhu Jingchen.

"You are the traitor, you are the one who killed the emperor!" Zhu Jingchen angrily pointed at the queen and loudly reprimanded her.

He and the Qi Demon have been staying in the Dragon's Sleeping Room, but after waiting and waiting, they still can't see the Queen, so they come to see what happened.

In the end, he heard that the queen turned black and white, planted blame, and taught him how not to be angry? !

"There is no evidence, why do you say that the Ai family harmed the emperor?" The queen refused to admit it, and sneered back.

"This is the evidence." The Qi Demon arrived afterward, stretched out his palm, and a small green worm wriggled on it, which was the Gu worm that had just been taken from the emperor's body.

"It's just a disgusting bug, what's so strange about it." The queen's face turned pale, but she insisted on herself.

"Try it, and you will know whether it is rare or not."

With a flick of his finger, the Qi Demon cast a spell secretly and threw the Gu worm towards the queen, but the queen couldn't dodge in time, the Gu worm landed on her face and got in through her nose.

"Don't...don't!" The queen was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she knelt down covering her face.

In the blink of an eye, the empress lost her eyesight and started talking nonsense. The symptoms were exactly the same as before, and the imperial guards took the opportunity to tie the empress up.

When the prime minister and Zhu Jingyu arrived with their troops, they found that the general situation was over. Cui Shangshu led the general who protected the country and his soldiers into the palace to escort them, just in time to surround them.

After a fierce battle, the prince's faction was defeated and had no choice but to fight.

five days later

The empress and the prime minister were ordered to die, the three clans were punished, the crown prince was demoted as a commoner, and he would never be allowed to enter the capital. This news caused a sensation in the entire capital, and the common people talked about it.

The emperor then issued an order to announce several crimes committed by the queen and the prime minister, and quickly sent people to eliminate the remaining party of the prince's faction. The uproar finally calmed down.

"Third Highness... No, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please get up quickly." After the chief eunuch read out the imperial edict, he smiled and stepped forward to help Zhu Jingchen who was kneeling to receive the edict.

It took a while to come back to his senses, Zhu Jingchen immediately calmed down, and with a faint smile, he ordered his servants to bring the rewards, "Come here, there is a reward."

It turned out that the good news that Qi Demon said before was the canonization of the crown prince. He thought it would take a while, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Thank you for the reward, Prince Congratulations, I have something else to do, I'm going back to the palace first." The chief eunuch smiled and took the reward, congratulated him repeatedly, and left in a sedan chair.

It was night, Zhu Jingchen muttered to himself again to the portrait of his mother and concubine.

"Concubine Mother, are you relieved that your son has avenged you?" Knowing that the person in the painting would not answer him, he continued, "From now on, my son will be the prince, and the burden on his shoulders is quite heavy. No matter how many things the country does, my son will try his best to be a wise king in his limited life, making you smile forever."

Standing outside, Qi Demon couldn't help shaking his head with a smile when he heard what he said, strode in and hugged him from behind.

"His Royal Highness, I have come to congratulate you."

"Let go." Struggling to stand up, but was pressed down by the Qi Demon on the desk beside him, raising and lowering his hands.

Caressing his smooth belly and wrapping his legs around his waist, the Qi Demon gasped and said, "You got your wish, how can you thank me?"

"Thank you? You can take my life yuan away." He hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth slowly.

This was originally the reward he promised to the Qi Demon, so it doesn't make any difference if you take it early or take it late.

"Do you really want this deity to take away Shouyuan?" His pretty eyebrows squeezed into Chuan characters, and the Qi Demon was a little annoyed by his incomprehensible flair.

"Take it, the transaction has been completed." He slowly closed his eyes, deliberately ignoring the disappointment in his heart.

"Not waiting for you to sit on the throne?"

"Avenging my mother's feud is the most important thing. Besides, I'm already the prince. If there is no accident, the world will definitely be mine."

But even though he really wanted to continue living, once a gentleman said something, it was hard to follow.

"Okay, very good." Angry and laughing, Qi Mo stood up abruptly and pushed Zhu Jingchen away forcefully.

He was so mad, why did he encounter such a stubborn rock that didn't understand, he would have done it long ago if he wanted Shouyuan, so why should he talk to him?

I really want to knock his head open to see what is inside, if there is nothing but revenge!

"What's the matter with you?" Never seen him like this before, Zhu Jingchen got up and held Qi Demon's hand, but he ruthlessly threw it away.

"I'm crazy, I'm mad because of you! Well, I will take away 50 years of your life as you wish!" Pointing at the tip of his nose and growling, the Qi Demon cursed softly, taking his breath madly.

"Well……"

He was almost out of breath, his nose was full of the icy breath of the Qi Demon, his physical strength seemed to be drained, he could only hold the Qi Demon's arm to support his body, so as not to fall down.

Will his lifespan be taken away?

It's not as painful as imagined, but it's bitter between the lips and teeth, as if eating Coptis chinensis.

Feeling inexplicably lost in his heart, he wanted to grab something but couldn't, he clung tightly to the shoulder of the Qi Demon, entwining his lips and tongue with it.

This kiss was different from the past, the Qi Golem seemed to go crazy, biting his lips until he tasted the smell of blood.

"It hurts—" Stroking the corner of his red and swollen lips, he stared at the front in a daze.

When he came back to his senses, the room was empty, and there was no sign of Qi Demon.

Looking at the bronze mirror, his lips were red and swollen, and there were still a few streaks of blood. He was stunned by his own miserable appearance. Zhu Jingchen didn't leave the East Chamber all afternoon, and wanted to wait for the Qi Demon to come back and ask why he had to Treat him like this.

It's a pity that he waited for a day and a night, but the Qi Demon didn't show up again.

The next day

The third prince's mansion was overcrowded, Zhu Jingchen looked at the endless stream of guests, and kept congratulating him, but looked at the wound on his lip with a strange expression, one head and two big.

It stands to reason that he is going to enter the East Palace today, but the Qi Demon has never appeared, how could he have the intention to go to the East Palace.

Among the guests was a military officer who was straightforward and pointed at his sore spot in front of everyone and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with your mouth?"

"It was bitten by a cat." As soon as he said this, he wanted to bite off his tongue.

Will any cat jump on the owner's mouth and bite?Bite so deep...

If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many guests and the housekeeper couldn't handle it, he would not show his face and hide in the room early to avoid being laughed at by everyone.

"The cat in the prince's mansion is so fierce, please give the cat to the next official, the next official will definitely make it submissive."

"It's a stray cat." At this point, he had no choice but to continue talking nonsense with a blushing face.

"Wild cat..." The military officer was dumbfounded.

"Cough, I'm tired. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say." He was so embarrassed that he simply issued an order to evict the guest.

Zhu Jingchen waited for another night. Seeing that the sky was bright and the shadow of the Qi Demon hadn't been seen yet, he immediately straightened his clothes and rushed to the palace.

Facing his dying father, he felt very sad, and wished he could give his father all his life, but unfortunately he himself didn't have a good few years to live.

"Jingchen, I'm sorry for your mother and concubine, and I'm sorry for you too." Although the emperor's face was rosier than before, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Holding Father's hand tightly, he shook his head, "Father, don't say that, Mother's death has nothing to do with Father."

When hearing the empress's case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice also tortured his mother and concubine's death. The empress had pleaded guilty and confessed that the court lady she sent to murder his mother and concubine had long been drowned in the ancient well by her and turned into a A pile of bones.

"It's all due to the incompetence of the father. If the queen was not jealous, your mother and concubine would not have been killed..." Looking at the face similar to the woman he loves the most, the emperor stretched out his hand excitedly.

"Mother will not blame you."

"Tomorrow, I will go with you to worship your mother and concubine."

"Father, you are not in good health, you should rest more." Father's body is weak, how can he withstand the toss along the way?

The emperor resolutely said: "I know my body, I must go tomorrow, I want to see your mother and concubine for the last time before I die."

"Okay then, I'll order the imperial physician to accompany you tomorrow. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me." Unable to hold back his father, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Thanks to Ni Tian for what happened this time, I have already named him Marquis of Anding, and you should make good use of him in the future." The emperor changed the subject and brought it to Qi Demon.

"Hou An Ding?"

"I know that my fate is not long. With Ni Tian by your side, I can go with peace of mind." After touching the top of his head lightly, the emperor smiled calmly.

"No, father will live a long life." Zhu Jingchen couldn't help but have red eyes when he heard this.

"Stupid child, father knows the situation of father himself, life and death are fate, Jingchen, you have to understand."

Holding his father's cold hand back, he shouted excitedly: "No matter, father will live a long life."

"Okay, I'm so tired, you go down first." The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, with a smile on his lips.
