Emperor Que Shaohua

The news from the capital spread to the south of the Yangtze River. If in the past, King Yun was ordered to go to Suining and was about to exchange hostages with Yijin, such a major event, Langhuan would have reported it to the suzerain as soon as possible.But now that King Jing had just survived his critical illness, Zhu Jin didn't dare to disturb him rashly, so he had to find King Ning first, and the two of them went to ask the owner of Mengxian Valley together.

"No, just because it's a big deal, I can't tell Sect Master Jiang now." Xi Minghua said decisively, "Don't let him waste his mind, at least later, wait until the pulse condition stabilizes."

Luo Pingyuan and Zhu Jin looked at each other, neither of them objected.Zhu Jin pondered and said: "Although it is impossible to ask the lord for instructions, Yijin's move is full of deceit, we must always take precautions, and we must not let the Fourth Highness make any mistakes." However, with the end of the war and the suzerain coming south, Langhuan's main force is currently concentrated in the Jiangnan and Hunan areas, even Hengdao and Lingxu who are familiar with border warfare are no exception, rushing now, the movement is both loud and unavoidable.

"Don't worry too much." Xi Minghua's expression was not as dignified as his, and he smiled lightly: "Master Su and Master Yunbao have nothing to do recently, and they are wandering around the north. When they hear the news, they will try their best to protect the four. Your Highness Zhou Quan. Well, just to be on the safe side, let me write a letter to Xiao Su on behalf of Sect Master Jiang, and you can send someone to deliver it."

Lord Xi Gu and Pavilion Master Su are old friends for many years and close friends, so writing a letter is easy.Zhu Jin was very happy. When King Yun was still fighting Beiliao in Shao'an, he had received the help of Su Lingxue and Yun Yu, the masters of Xuanji Pavilion, many times. It would be great to have them take care of him.

The three of them discussed for a while, and when King Yun left, besides the shadow guard Xiao Huo, there were seven or eight dark guards drawn by Qin Shuang beside him, plus layers of soldiers and horses, so it should be safe.Luo Pingyuan pondered for a moment, and among his Jingyu Guards, Nie Jiluan had the best swordsmanship, and Qu Guanlan held the Fish Intestine Sword, so he summoned the two of them and ordered them to set off immediately and go straight to Suining to protect the Fourth Emperor Brother.He thought that when he and King Jing returned to Beijing, Luo Linpian should still be in Suining or on the way home, but even without strong support, he must get the antidote.

At this time, the Qingzhang of Hangzhou Mansion is coming to an end, King Jing recuperates from his illness under the diagnosis and treatment of Xi Minghua, and the young King Ning rekindles his fighting spirit, but he doesn't know that an unimaginable bad news is waiting in the not-too-distant future he.

From March to June, the four princes, King Jing, King Ning, King An, and King Yun, left Luocheng successively for different reasons, either going south or north. Only the prince Luo Wenxiao who was under house arrest in the East Palace remained And the little prince Luo Yunxiu who is only six years old.

Accustomed to the princes coming to the palace to greet each other from time to time, Emperor Tianyi felt somewhat uncomfortable, even the Chonghua Palace, where the palace officials and concubines shuttled back and forth, seemed to be lonely.He suddenly thought that when there are more sons, there will be quarrels and fights, and he has to beware of their disagreement, which can be said to be extremely annoying, but once they are not around, it will inevitably be unpleasant.What's more, the third prince has become Yi Jin's prisoner, and it's hard to say whether he can come back in full.

Not counting King Jing who made him restless, leaving aside the guilty prince and Prince An whose fate was uncertain, the emperor suddenly realized that there were only two adult princes Luo Linpian and Luo Pingyuan in the Tianyi Dynasty.Recently, his energy has not been as good as before, and he can't help but feel a little uneasy, remembering that Concubine Li, who was recently rumored to be happy, originally hoped to have a princess, but now he feels that the prince is more suitable.

Because of the accident of the third prince, the annual fog hunting had to be postponed. Emperor Tianyi was not feeling well, and his interest had already been lost. He wanted to simply cancel it, but another group of officials insisted that everything should go on as usual. In order not to let the villains of Yi and Jin succeed, thinking that we are weak.The emperor had no choice but to raise his spirits. Not long after King Yun left Beijing, the emperor's guard of honor was also guarded by three thousand forbidden troops, and he went through the Haimen in the north of the city to Wulan Mountain.

Uneasy and stimulated by King An's captivity, Emperor Tianyi was particularly concerned about his own safety, and specially ordered Li Pinglan to go with him.This time, Concubine Rong was still accompanying her, with her little prince Yueyue, Princess Danyang Luo Xuening and son-in-law Lin Chen.

According to the usual practice, the Wulan hunting time is three days, and the round trip takes two days each, a total of seven days.However, perhaps the summer of Tianyi's 22nd year was doomed to be eventful, and on the third night of Yujia's departure from the city, the Chonghua Palace flooded.

No one knows how Concubine Han Guifei, who has been confined in Yunxiu Palace for nearly a year, walked out of the closed palace gate, walked through the imperial garden under the light of a crescent moon, and arrived at the Hanzhang Hall where the ancestors of the Luo family are enshrined. , And how did the guards, servants, and maids on duty at night enter the side hall without realizing it, spill several barrels of sesame oil dedicated to the ever-burning lamps on the tables and chairs, and then ignite them.

Even if the emperor is not around, the defense in the palace is the most relaxed time, and the middle of the night is the time when it is easiest to relax.

The fire first started from a corner of the west side hall of Hanzhang Hall. It is said that there was originally a small secret room in which only the emperor could enter.But this is limited to the private rumors of the palace people, and there is no way to confirm what is hidden inside, or even whether there is a secret room.After all, in the Chonghua Palace, every palace with a long history has its own stories and rumors.

The raging flames spread in the hall at an unbelievably fast speed, leaped up to the ridge of the glazed hall, and illuminated half of the night sky. The sound of emergency warning gongs resounded throughout the palace, and countless people woke up from their sleep.The maids who rushed to the scene first saw Concubine Han Guifei in a black embroidered gold dress with long hair hanging down, standing alone in the hot west side hall, laughing sadly, and the red flames reflected her once beautiful beauty. Decaying face, like a ghost in hell.

During the subsequent interrogation, the palace servants who witnessed the scene tremblingly said that the imperial concubine's frenzied and shrill laughter seemed to contain several names, which were Jiang Biyao, Luo Shenhua, and His Majesty's name.

Concubine Yi, the empress of Guiqiu Palace, was woken up by the noise outside, she put on her clothes and got up, and saw the flickering flames in the distance through the window, the palace maid Xingfen rushed out to inquire about the news, and came back after a while, half panicked Half excitedly whispering.

"Both the mother and the son are evil spirits, and they will hold people back when they are about to die." Concubine Yi whispered to herself, and suddenly raised her voice, "Burn it, burn it! The bitch surnamed Han should have died a long time ago! She thought that someone else's Even if the prince is killed, her insidious son will be able to ascend to the throne? Go ahead and dream!"

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Xingfen turned pale with fright, and hurriedly lowered her voice to dissuade, "Be careful not to hear too many people and pass it on..."

"The matter has come to this, what is this palace afraid of!" Concubine Yi sneered, "What is the crime of setting fire to the palace? Who doesn't know that she is determined to overpower the queen, and because of her shameful thoughts, even the late emperor dared to offend! If you pretend to be crazy, you won’t harm the whole family? A slut is a slut, whoever gets involved will be unlucky!"

"Niang Niang," Xingfen couldn't comprehend the meaning of her words, so she hurriedly persuaded, "Even Beiliao is no match for King Yun. The Fourth Highness will go in person, and the Third Highness will definitely return safely. Before that, You must take care, don't burn your body!"

"Who knows if he will try his best." Yi Fei murmured, but finally stopped.

King An stayed well in Luocheng, if it wasn't for the crown prince's secret instigation, why would he suddenly go to Suining and become a captive of Yijin?All these years, she had humbly obeyed Concubine Han, how many things she had done against her will, and how many risks Luo Junping had taken for the crown prince, and she ended up like this in the end.

Everyone knows that King Yun and King An are not on good terms, but when Luo Linpian is mentioned, Luo Junping is like a fighting cock with its feathers ruffled, with countless rifts accumulated since childhood, it is by no means a cold day.But now she can only place her meager hopes on the fourth prince, hoping that with King Yun's ability and cold and arrogant personality, she will not hold grudges against her son, and can rescue him back to Luo City alive.

Across many palaces, one can still discern the direction of the Hanzhang Hall where flames are rising into the sky. The pair of mother and son, one is as poisonous as a snake and the other is as cruel as a jackal, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

She took the brocade handkerchief from Xingfen and wiped the corners of her eyes, but she wiped more and more tears and couldn't stop.

In Zhiting Palace, Concubine Lian was also standing in front of the window, looking at the firelight under the night sky, her usually calm and calm face showed a rare solemnity.The woman who killed Empress Langhuan and was once powerful in the palace was finally buried in a sea of ​​flames, but it seemed that she wanted to take death as the price to take away the vitality that belonged to Jing Wang Luo Yanhua.Since the mid-autumn festival last year when she was forced to recuperate from her illness, Concubine Han has always behaved in an orderly manner. When the crown prince had an accident, it was reported that she was a little mentally disturbed after being stimulated, and she sometimes spoke madly. She and others were careless. She is scheming, but underestimated the resentment that has been entangled for more than ten years.

Perhaps Han Suyi has been a lunatic since a long time ago, and the queen has passed away long ago, but she is still fighting with each other all the time, putting jealousy and humiliation on Luo Shenhua.Winning over Jiang Biyao and letting Luo Wenxiao beat Luo Shenhua is the meaning of her life and death.

That night, there was chaos in the palace city, everyone was running and screaming, but Wu Yong, the general manager, and Li Pinglan, the commander, were not there. It rained suddenly in the middle of the night. I'm afraid not only the Xibian Hall will be reduced to ashes, but the entire Hanzhang Hall will be burned.

The fire in the palace once again shrouded the newly calm capital in an atmosphere of uneasiness. Even though we tried our best to calm the situation and reduce the impact, there were still many rumors in the city.Some people say that Concubine Han is good at witchcraft, and she is here to murder the clan and bring chaos to the country. Otherwise, it is not good to set fire to it. Why is Hanzhang Palace the one that was robbed?Some people recalled the past and said that Queen Langhuan died at the hands of the demon concubine, and it was because of this that the successive years of wars on the border occurred; Concubine is just a incidental accident;...

The burning of the Hanzhang Hall was more culpable than the fire in the Qingliang Hall and the Imperial Study Room where the emperor often went. Yuan Xusheng secretly complained, but he didn't dare to delay. At dawn, he sent a horse to Wulan Mountain to report the news, even though the fire did not affect the worshippers. The burning of the main hall of the clan's spiritual seat and the west side hall is also a big mess, which means that there will be bloody storms in the palace, and countless people will fall to the ground.He himself could not escape accountability, he only hoped that the timely rain in the second half of the night could be interpreted as God's protection, so that the emperor could alleviate some murderous intentions while saving face.

In the imperial tent of the Wulan paddock, Emperor Tianyi stared at the imperial guards kneeling on the ground, his expression changed from shock to anger, but he didn't attack immediately.He pondered, his eyes gradually became complicated and difficult to explain, and asked slowly: "Are you sure the west side hall was burned down, not the main hall, or other places?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's the West Pian Hall." The guard trembled and didn't know why, and replied in a trembling voice, "That's where the fire started, and it burned extremely from the beginning. But it was too late to save the palace and rescue the noble concubine; fortunately, it rained heavily, and the main hall and the east side hall were not affected."

"What kind of noble concubine, a lunatic and sinner who went out of the palace without permission, is also worthy of being a noble concubine!" Emperor Tianyi let out a sneer from his nostrils, and said solemnly, "But something happened after three days away. Don't think about hunting anymore. Go back and tell Yuan Xusheng, let him investigate for me, why did Hanzhang Palace suddenly leak, and who was involved? If I can't find Chou Yinmao when I go back, I will raise my head and see !"

Although the emperor's tone was weird, it didn't seem like he was going to convict heavily. The guard kept making noises, but he was slightly relieved, and hurried out.

Wu Yong's face turned pale at some point. He glanced at Li Pinglan, who was also standing beside him, and caught a trace of anger in Commander Li's calm eyes. Although it was short, it was like a stormy sea.

Water and fire are ruthless, and only a few people inside and outside the palace city can understand what it means for the west side hall to be burned down.Along with the huge golden nanmu palace beams, brilliant glazed tiles, and simple and precious furnishings, there is also the secret room that only the emperor can enter, and the priceless treasure hidden in it-the antidote to eradicating the clear heart of the blue sea. What the Suzerain needs most.

The fire scene was full of burnt rubble, scorched marks and water marks all over the place. When Li Pinglan approached, the palace guards had cleared out more than a dozen corpses of maids in the palace, all of which were charred black and barely human.

"Based on the position and the gold ornaments on the head, the subordinates identified that this should be the skeleton of the noble concubine." Yuan Xusheng pointed to a separate one on the ground and said, "After counting, the ones who were burnt to death were the palace servants who were guarding the Hanzhang Palace that night. , some of them died while fighting the fire, and there was an extra corpse, which was probably the imperial concubine's personal brocade."

Li Pinglan didn't even look at it, but glanced at the broken and messy scene in front of him, and asked lightly: "Where's the guard on duty? Did I tell you to take good care of every plant and tree in Hanzhang Palace?"

A look of shame appeared on Yuan Xusheng's face. Commander Li had indeed given orders and confessed more than once. On weekdays, the people on duty were all the elite of the imperial guards. He said in a low voice: "The night before, the Duanwang Mansion and Rui Wang's Mansion encountered thieves sneaking into the manor. , frightened the female relatives, the two princes have already driven to Wulan Mountain, the mansion sent people to ask for help from the palace, and the subordinates temporarily assigned some people to go out."

First, Emperor Tianyi took all the masters away to escort them, and then happened to meet two palaces to ask for help, so he didn't want to lose face, and he dispatched the two guards who were in charge of patrolling the Hanzhang Palace that night; In exchange, the two were called by a group of servants half a quarter in advance to guess and drink, leaving a gap.The emperor and the immediate superior were not there, so it was natural for the people below to take the opportunity to be lazy and relax. As the deputy commander, he neglected to supervise.

"Where are the maids in Hanzhang Palace? Are you going to drink and gamble?" Li Pinglan asked.

"Two were encouraged to go out to have fun together, and the rest died in the fire. After inspection, they inhaled a lot of smoke and dust from their mouths and noses, and they were choked to death, but there was no sign of struggle. It should be in the fire. I was dizzy before the fire broke out." Yuan Xusheng continued to report, he didn't know if he was delusional, but as the conversation progressed, Li Pinglan seemed to be under invisible pressure, which made it difficult for him to breathe, and his voice unconsciously became lower and lower. "After a thorough investigation, there are no traces of foreign enemies invading the palace city. My subordinates speculate that the drug may have been carried and released by the imperial concubine. At present, all the palace officials from Yunxiu Palace and Hanzhang Palace, as well as other related persons, have been detained and are being interrogated one by one. .”

"You don't have to be scruples, and you don't have to look at who's affection, who participated in it, how much they know, and what they did, all have to be investigated." Li Pinglan said, "This matter is too involved, not only me and Manager Wu , Even His Majesty must give an explanation. Xu Sheng, you have done what you have to do, and you have to ask for the guilt, and wait for the punishment."

He sighed lightly: "A thousand days to defend against thieves will fall short, really, God's will is like a knife."

Yuan Xusheng agreed in a low voice, somewhat confused, but the cold sweat had already soaked through his underwear.It has been five years since he was promoted as deputy commander, and he has seen countless storms, but he has never felt Li Pinglan's emotions so clearly, which is a kind of desolation and helplessness hidden under deep anger.

In the southwest corner of Miyagi, Wu Yong sat in an armchair in the two-entry room separated by Zhu Qiang, looking expressionlessly at Zhang Chengjue who was kneeling on the ground.

"Master, this apprentice was blackmailed and used by the Han family, and he was blinded for a while." Zhang Chengjue cried bitterly, "They said that the bitch surnamed Han has been locked up for a long time, and if he wants to take a walk in the Imperial Garden, he just needs to do it conveniently. I will wipe out all the misunderstandings that have fallen in the past. The apprentice is confused. If you know that she is so bold as to set fire, you will not dare to let her step out of Yunxiu Palace even if you borrow 1 dog guts. Master, I was raised by you Yes, I beg you old man to save me!"

"That's right, since you entered the palace at the age of seven or eight, you have worshiped me as a master. I will send you to the inner school to read and study, teach you how to serve others, and tell you how to behave in the palace city, what money you can't take, what money You can't touch people like that." Wu Yong looked silent, staring at his face covered with tears and snot, "But I didn't teach you to lie to me, let alone stab your master from the back, you are self-taught! "

"Apprentice dare not, dare not, if you say that, I wish I could die immediately!" Zhang Chengjue tremblingly said, kneeling forward for half a step, as if he wanted to hug Wu Yong's leg, but he couldn't muster the courage .

"I've done everything, but you still say you don't dare?" Wu Yong's face showed a trace of impatience mixed with disgust, "Who asked Gao Muer to set up wine and gamble money? Why did you suddenly think of inviting Zhang Pingqiao, who is in charge of Hanzhang Palace?" , Zhao Kang and two guards? In order to lure them away, even the maids of the Shangyi Bureau participated, except you, Guanshi Zhang, who in the palace has such a big face?"

Zhang Chengjue's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to hide a few more words for himself, but when he met Wu Yong's cold eyes, he suddenly collapsed and cried loudly: "Master, I promised to help Concubine Han to stay alone in Hanzhang Hall For a while, but I really never expected that she would set fire to the throne. She only said that she would go to the late emperor's spiritual throne to prostrate and pray for the prince's protection; The west side hall prayed for a stick of incense, and the apprentice greeted me! Why there is sesame oil in the hall, I really don't know!"

He recklessly stepped forward on his knees and grabbed Wu Yong's clothes: "Small crimes deserve death, but I dare to swear to God that I will never harm your heart. I beg master to give me a hand. Commander Li has always been willing to give me a hand." Your face..."

"Shut up, you still have the face to mention Commander Li!" Wu Yong's face became very ugly, and he shouted, "Come on, pull him away!"

Hearing the sound, two servants came in and dragged the limp Zhang Chengjue to the side, and another person stepped forward to present the recorded confession.

Wu Yong took it over and looked at it again, then nodded slightly: "Let him draw a bet!" From the beginning to the end, he never asked what the Han family had to do with his apprentice, and that was no longer important.

After the betting was finished, he waved everyone out and looked at Zhang Chengjue, who was pale-faced: "You really don't have the guts to help others set fires, but you should know that Concubine Han Guifei has spent so much trouble, it is absolutely impossible just to pay homage to the spiritual throne." It was a waste of my teaching for many years. You are shrewd in small things, but you are lucky and don’t know how to advance or retreat at critical moments! Moreover, try to covet things that shouldn’t be coveted. It’s not that I don’t want to save you, but that the disaster is too great for our family to protect. "

He stood up slowly: "Commander Li will send someone to take you for interrogation in half an hour. There is a glass of poisonous wine and a dagger in this room, so you can do it yourself."

"Master!" Zhang Chengjue exclaimed, sharp and frightened.

Wu Yong didn't look back, his straight back was slightly curved, as if he had suddenly aged ten years: "Chengjue, don't say that master doesn't help you. I think Wu Yong entered the palace at the age of ten and worked hard for decades. Keep 157 chapters for yourself in the future

Concubine Han Guifei burned the Hanzhang Palace and died of suicide. When the news reached the East Palace, Luo Wenxiao froze in place at first, as if petrified. He raised his head abruptly, bursting into uncontrollable laughter.

The laughter was endless, filled the empty and deserted palace room, went straight to the ceiling, and almost spread throughout the entire Prince's Mansion. Listening carefully, it seemed to be quite joyful, with an indescribable sense of madness.

The attendants looked at each other in blank dismay, all with a chilling sense of fear. Could it be that His Royal Highness, like the imperial concubine, was over-stimulated and suffered from insanity?

Wen Yu approached bravely: "Your Highness, your mother has passed away, and you cannot be resurrected after death. Please mourn..."

"Haha, condolences, of course, hahaha!" Luo Wenxiao laughed loudly, "With such a mother and concubine, how can a son not mourn? Father is still waiting for my apology! Hahahaha!"

He pushed Wen Yu aside forcefully, and staggered towards the outside of the hall: "Get out, get out, what do you do with me, my Highness can still fly out with wings!"

Seeing this scene, all the people in charge of the guards couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: It's really sitting at home behind closed doors, the disaster comes from the sky, and the situation is already in a precarious situation, and a mother concubine who has lost her mind and committed a felony is really not crazy It is also difficult.

No one could understand the true meaning of Luo Wenxiao's laughter, whether it was the indescribable mood, the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time, or the secret joy.

When he received the report, he remembered the eight words Han Guifei wrote on the table when she dipped in the tea: Given time, the antidote will be destroyed.

From a long time ago, he often had a strange question in his heart. Is the mother concubine doing her best to pave the way for him, or is he actually just a tool, being manipulated and used to help her achieve her wish?If it is said that the step-by-step road is walked by oneself, then at the beginning, who planted the seeds of jealousy in the bottom of my heart, let myself feel the supreme pleasure brought by power, taste the blood of grabbing, and drive him in the world. Make a choice at every fork in the road?

Today, he can see clearly that in Han Guifei's eyes, winning the battle with Jiang Biyao is more important than anything else, more than the rise and fall of the family, more than his own life, unscrupulous, fearless, As for his own son, the greatest value is to win Luo Yanhua for her.

The reason why he couldn't stop laughing was not that he couldn't accept it or felt sad, but on the contrary, he realized that he didn't care at all.When I heard that the West Side Hall was completely destroyed, unspeakable ecstasy welled up from the bottom of my heart, far overpowering the pain of losing my mother and the fear of being implicated.He is the prince, as long as he is not involved in treason, no matter how many faults he commits, he will not be guilty of death, but Prince Jing is doomed to die!Bi Haicheng's heart can't be eradicated, even if Emperor Tianyi is still willing to give medicine to suppress the poisonous hair in the middle of the month, how long can Luo Yanhua's body be delayed?It can be as short as a few months or half a year, but as long as two or three years, the greatest enemy in life will die in pain, but I am still alive.The moment he realized this, he and the dead Concubine Han connected with each other and saw each other thoroughly.He had never understood his concubine mother so well, and why didn't the other party have already understood himself?

Now, my side has rolled out all the chips, Concubine Han Gui lost her life, Wei Wuze died in the south of the Yangtze River, and together they pushed Luo Yanhua into a desperate situation; and the previous arrangement went smoothly as expected. Said, really reluctant to let go of the opportunity, and set up a murder trap for Luo Linpian at the border.Regardless of King Yun or King An's death in Suining, it is only good for him.

He has nothing to do but wait.Of course, we should grieve and accept the change with sorrow and pain, weep and apologize humbly and humbly, and wait to see the situation change and the good drama continue.Even if he can't keep the crown prince for the time being, he is still the second prince of Tianyi Dynasty, as long as there is no Prince Jing, everything will be long in the future.

Luo Wenxiao finally stopped his hysterical laughter, and wiped away the tears from his laughter with his sleeves. Compared with grief, his heart was brimming with anticipation and excitement at the moment, as well as a kind of carefree and unspeakable madness.Die, everyone is dead, only you can survive!Gradually, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his lips again, unfortunately, I really want to appreciate it with my own eyes, to see what kind of expression Luo Yanhua will have on his face when he learns that the antidote has been burned.

The information about Hanzhang's fire and Li Pinglan's letter were sent to Jiangnan by flying pigeons, like a thunderstorm on the ground, shocking everyone who knew it.

In the wing room, the teacup in Luo Pingyuan's hand fell to the ground with a clang and shattered: "Young Master Zhu, don't joke with me, how is this possible!"

With a sad expression, Zhu Jin handed over the crumpled silk book in his hand, and said bitterly: "Your Highness Fifth, I also hope it's just a joke, but Commander Li will not make a mistake."

Luo Pingyuan took it mechanically, still couldn't believe it for a moment, the handwriting on the letter danced before his eyes, every word was like a knife, piercing his heart and lungs with pain.His face became as pale as paper, and the silk book fell from his fingers: "No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! It's obviously the antidote for Brother Huang, why should it be gone?!"

There was unconscious anger and despair in the voice, as if caught off guard and suffered a serious injury, both Zhu Jin and Rong Feisheng were speechless, and they also couldn't respond to such a cruel blow.

Luo Pingyuan didn't expect to hear any answers, he suddenly understood that there was nothing anyone could do, the fact had already happened, and the antidote that condensed all the hopes of everyone was really destroyed in a fire and burned by Concubine Han.What about the emperor?There are only more than three months to the deadline given by Xi Minghua!

A rush of hot blood rushed straight to the top of his head, he turned and ran out of the door, heading straight for King Jing's recuperating bedroom.

"Your Highness Fifth, the Lord is going to sleep..." Gu Yu and Bai Lu guarded the outside room, and they were shocked when they saw Prince Ning, who had been rejected recently, barging in with a pale face, for fear that he would offend the Lord again. .But there was no time to stop it, and the person had already entered in a blink of an eye.

The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, Luo Pingyuan subconsciously lightened his steps, approached the bed and saw Luo Yanhua lying on his side with his eyes closed, taking a quiet nap.Brother Huang's face was still pale, but compared to when he just woke up a few days ago, it was a little softer, and it was no longer as fragile as if it would break at the touch of a touch.As soon as I approached him lightly, I could feel the warm breath on his body. After careful medication these days, it was very easy for me to stop having a low fever from time to time.

Luo Pingyuan stared blankly at his clear and beautiful side face, feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.

His imperial brother never disappoints him. He begged him to wake up and not to leave, so he tried his best to wake up. Even though he was seriously ill, he was recovering bit by bit with difficulty.But those evil spirits wanted to climb up from hell to entangle him and snatch him away from him.

I remember that in Tianyuan, I heard Wei Wuze say to Qingluan that there are still some things to do, and it will take another ten and a half months to evacuate to the island; he also said that the Jiangnan gentry are useless, but luckily they didn't pin their hopes on them. The last hole card.

In order not to leave traces, You Mingdao did not directly attack, but harassed Prince Duan and Prince Rui's residences on the outside to distract the attention of the inner guards.With such an arrangement, all the crimes will fall on the dead Concubine Han Gui, and the prince who is under house arrest and suffering from the loss of his mother will appear innocent, and the entanglement will be minimized.

For a moment, King Ning's blood was poured into his pupils. If the emperor's brother died because of this, he would cut Luo Wenxiao into pieces and execute him Ling Chi.

Luo Yanhua felt a slight movement around him, but in recent days, in order to make the patient think less and sleep more, Xi Minghua added a few herbs to help sleep in the prescription, which made him dazed, and it took him a while to work hard. open your eyes.

"Pingyuan, what's the matter with you?" He asked in a low voice, his mind still a little dazed, "but what happened?"

"No, it's nothing." Luo Pingyuan hurriedly said as if awakened from a nightmare, "It's really nothing. I was too careless and disturbed you."

He exhausted all his life's concentration to keep himself from showing any strangeness, and said softly: "Brother Huang, I just miss you, so I sneak in and have a look. Go to sleep for a while, you...you need more rest."

He suppressed the sadness and panic in his heart, and hurriedly exited the bedroom.Even if it is hidden for a while, so what?

It seems that every time he encounters a problem, he always instinctively thinks of Prince Jing and relies on Brother Huang, but this time, he can only face it by himself, because Brother Huang is no longer able to realize his wish.Without an antidote, the cold poison will erode Luo Yanhua's body, regardless of anyone's will.

He knew that once the disease reached the advanced stage, the viscera and six internal organs would gradually lose their vitality, bleed and become stiff.Unimaginable pain and torment will befall the emperor brother.

Luo Pingyuan found Zhu and Rong again: "Young Master Zhu, Manager Rong, we need to find an antidote immediately. There is a fire in the palace, so there is no Xue Manqing in the world?"

Both Zhu Jin and Rong Feisheng nodded in agreement, but there was not much hope in their expressions.Rong Feisheng said: "Your Highness, the suzerain's antidote is the top priority of Langhuan. Since the beginning of last year, Huaibi Village has been looking for it in many ways. It is best to make friends and fellow martial artists. Whenever there is a slight possibility, they will ask for help one by one. However, the snowman green fruit is a rare treasure, and we have spent countless hours and energy, but so far it is difficult to find the opportunity."

With a heavy expression on his face, Zhu Jin also said slowly: "From Yunbao in Cangshan Mountain in the north, to Miaojiang in Yunnan and Guizhou in the south, Tangmen belongs to Tangmen, Penglai in the East China Sea, Qionghua in the South China Sea, Dali, Tubo, and Langhuan have all been inquired one by one; , Famous and upright sects such as Shaolin, Huashan, and Kongtong have not been missed, and to tell the truth, I have written letters to Cuiping Mountain to ask for help from Master Mo Zhenren, but I still can’t find it today.”

He sighed deeply: "My lord, because of Lang Huan being poisoned, he was restrained and humiliated by the emperor. If there was any other possibility, we would not place our hopes in the palace."

Following their narration, Luo Pingyuan felt that his heart could not help sinking into a bottomless abyss of ice cold, and that he would never see the light of day.After searching so hard, there was no result for a year and a half, and now, it is only three months.

"Since the situation has evolved to this point, we must put aside our past concerns," he gritted his teeth, "It's too slow to rely solely on Lang Huan's secret search. We must do our best and mobilize all our forces to have a chance to turn the impossible into possible."

"Your Highness the Fifth Highness means...?" Zhu Jin's heart moved, and he roughly understood his thoughts.

"Release the news, offer rewards to fellow Jianghu, so that more people can join in the search." Luo Pingyuan said, "No matter who it is, even a heinous devil, as long as he can find the snowman green fruit within the time limit, what can I, Luo Pingyuan, do?" Agree to all requests!"

Zhu Jin and Rong Feisheng looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. With King Ning's current status, making such a promise is not a joke.

"What His Royal Highness said is right, time is running out, all methods must be tried, and the reward order must be issued." Zhu Jin smiled bitterly, "It's just that His Highness's promise is a bit heavy, and it is still in the name of Langhuan Let's do it, don't want to know where the medicinal materials are, first cause an uproar in the government and the public, and let the Lord add more trouble."

Rong Feisheng also said: "The specific wording must also be cautious. People in the Jianghu are unpredictable. If you talk too much, sometimes it will lead to fighting and calculation, which will delay our original goal."

Luo Pingyuan was silent, in his mind, Brother Huang's illness was more serious than anything else, but he was inexperienced and had already made a big mistake because of his recklessness, so he had to consider other people's opinions.

He nodded slightly: "Alright, then it's not too late, let's do it right away, first spread the news, and see if there is a response."

On the third day of July in the 22nd year of Tianyi, Langhuan notified Jianghu and issued a reward order to obtain a medicinal material called Xuemanqingguo for the suzerain.The post stated that as long as any sect or individual can provide medicinal materials within the 10-day period, and on the premise of not violating the morals of the world, Langhuan will respond to any request; if they can provide reliable clues, help find it. Or Xueman Qingguo, the reward is [-] taels of silver.

As soon as this order came out, it spread across the Yangtze River north and south in one day, shaking both righteous and evil.According to martial arts rules, the reward for providing effective clues is usually one-tenth of the total reward. In other words, for a snowman green fruit, Lang Huan is willing to pay at least one million taels of silver, or meet the requirements of the same value, and the latter , are often priceless.The high specifications and the huge amount of this reward order are second to none in the Yuzhou Jianghu for more than a hundred years.

What kind of medicinal material is Xuemanqing? Why is it more valuable than thousand-year-old ginseng and nine-turn Ganoderma lucidum? Is it possible that it can bring the dead back to life?It has been widely heard that Jiang Hua, the suzerain of Langhuan, is in weak health. At the beginning of the year, it was widely rumored that he had a strange poison in his body, which seems to be true.It must be that the suzerain is in a critical condition, so Langhuan will change his usual low-key behavior and seek the life-sustaining elixir from the whole world.All of a sudden, people in the world were moved by the news. Within three days, Jinling Huaibizhuang received seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials and more than 20 clues, but after inspection, none of them were reliable. know.

Luo Pingyuan has never felt that time is so short and difficult.How long is one hundred days?One hundred days and nights, one thousand two hundred hours, four thousand eight hundred quarters.The stretching shadow of the corona, the drumming sounded in the streets and alleys in the middle of the night, the sound of Lingyin Temple rising in the morning
