As Shen Ci expected, Lu Shuo became emotionally unstable when he found out about this incident.

With a sullen face, he summoned all the imperial physicians in the palace to see Shen Ci.

After a long silence, an old imperial doctor reported to him tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager does have symptoms of being poisoned in her body..."

The line of Lu Shuo's lips was stretched straight instantly, and his hands were hanging on his legs, clenched into fists so hard that they turned white.

Listening to the voice of rising darkening value in his ears, Shen Ci felt a little headache, he took Lu Shuo's tightly clenched hand: "Calm down first."

"I can't calm down." Lu Shuo held his hand, turned around and hugged Shen Ci, his voice was trembling, and he said coldly, "Father Jun, I will definitely cure you."

Soon, Shen Ci heard that Lu Shuo had gone to the prison, and brought Song Xiu alone for interrogation.

Song Xiu's miserable howls resounded all night in the prison. He was tortured so badly that he couldn't speak anymore, and cried bitterly and begged Lu Shuo to let him go.

But when Lu Shuo pinched his neck and asked where the antidote was, Song Xiu faltered again, and finally, after seeing the next torture device, he cried bitterly and said that there was no cure for the poison, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The blackening value keeps rising.

Shen Ci pressed her temples, feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Maybe he shouldn't have told Lu Shuo, so at least Lu Shuo could live happily for a few years without any worries.

In the next few years, Lu Shuo did his best to find an antidote for Shen Ci. He not only posted reward notices all over the country, but also sent people out to search for it non-stop throughout the year. He also rushed to investigate as soon as he got the news.

But there has been no result.

On this day, Shen Ci opened his eyes.

"Father Jun is awake?" Sensing his movement, Lu Shuo quickly put down the memorial in his hand, walked to his bedside, and asked gently.

Shen Ci replied sleepily, and her eyelids drooped involuntarily.

The closer he was to 30 years old, the more he could feel that his spirit was getting more and more exhausted. The poison seemed to be constantly eroding his brain nerves.

As Song Xiu said, no matter how well the body is maintained, it cannot resist the spread of toxicity.

Lu Shuo was afraid that Shen Ci would not be able to fall asleep one day, so even if he was sleepy, he would wake him up for a while.

He picked up Shen Ci, carefully hugged him in his arms, and gently followed his back to wake him up.

After a long time this time, Shen Ci was still sleepy.

Just when he was about to fall asleep again, Shen Ci heard a rustling sound, it seemed that Lu Shuo went to get something.A few seconds later, he felt that the hem of his clothes was lifted off his thigh, and something was printed on it.

Shen Ci regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and saw Lu Shuo covering his leg with a jade seal.

The jade seal was removed, and the scarlet mark appeared on Shen Ci's snow-white thigh skin, and the color was particularly vivid under the contrast.

Shen Ci rubbed her eyes, hung on Lu Shuo's body like she had no bones, and asked in a lazily tone:

"Why did you put the jade seal on me?"

"In this way, Father Jun is mine." Lu Shuo put away the jade seal and said solemnly.

Shen Ci laughed: "It's a big treason."

"That's what Junfu can do." In the past few years, the relationship between the two people has almost been acquiesced, Lu Shuo kissed him on the neck again, and then said, "Junfu, get up and eat, and my son has learned a new lesson. Let’s try some dishes, Father Jun will help my son taste the taste.”

"Okay." After being so troubled, Shen Ci was fully awake. He yawned lazily, was hugged by Lu Shuo again, changed his clothes, and sat on the dining table after washing.

Lu Shuo's craftsmanship has always been very good.

Shen Ci took a chopstick of fish and put it in his mouth, the fish was tender and delicious, not oily or greasy, very warm to the stomach.

"How does your father taste?" Lu Shuo sat across from him and looked over.

Shen Ci took another chopstick, and praised without hesitation: "It's delicious."

Lu Shuo smiled: "It's as long as Jun father likes it."

Halfway through the meal, someone from the palace outside came to report the latest news about finding the antidote.

Lu Shuo's expression didn't change much. He had already experienced too much disappointment. After learning that it was indeed false news, he hummed with a normal expression, waved his hand, and let the palace servants back out.

"Are you still looking?" After the palace servants left, Shen Ci put down the chopsticks and looked at him.

In the past few years, while Lu Shuo was busy with state affairs, he had to take care of him, and at the same time he had to find an antidote, so busy that he was almost exhausted.

Shen Ci tried to persuade him, but seeing the little boy's lips pursed silently, his heart softened again.

Lu Shuo hummed, paused again, and then said, "Father Jun asked me to search for another year. If I haven't found a way to save Father Jun after one year, I will accompany Father Jun to travel around the world. ?"

Shen Ci understood the meaning of his words, after being stunned for two seconds, she smiled and asked as a joke:

"The throne is gone?"

Lu Shuo shook his head: "No, only Junfu."

After Lu Shuo's blackening value had risen to a certain level over the years, it suddenly dropped again.

He seemed to have figured out something.

Shen Ci vaguely guessed Lu Shuo's plan, but in the end she swallowed her words of persuasion, smiled, and said, "Forget it, it's up to you."

Fortunately, at the end of this year, Lu Shuo finally heard a piece of news.

He walked in quickly, and said to Shen Ci: "Father Jun, do you still remember that when we were at the border, the letter between Father Jun and I said that there is a herb that can cure all diseases growing in the northwest?"

Shen Ci put down the scroll in his hand, blinked twice: "You found it?"

"Well," Lu Shuo nodded, his eyes finally showing some joy, "I didn't find it before, but news came this morning that the herb was originally raised in Xuanyu Pavilion in the northwest. It was taken back by Xuanyu Pavilion. My son intends to leave tomorrow to seek medicine from Xuanyu Pavilion."

Hearing this name, Shen Ci paused slightly.

Xuanyu Pavilion, he vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar.

So I asked 888 in my mind, and soon, 888 gave him a reply.

It is the teacher of the original heroine.

The original text is a fantasy novel. The heroine is a Taoist priest who does not care about world affairs but has great righteousness in her heart. After learning that the world is under the cruel rule of a tyrant and the people are in dire straits, she is born to save the people from the fire and water. On the way, she meets a man with the same ideals and ambitions The Lord knows and loves each other.

Xuanyu Pavilion has always been out of touch with the world, and the rules are strict. The power and wealth in the world are nothing to them. Even if the emperor visits, they will not treat them differently.

Shen Ci frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

Lu Shuo went to ask for medicine, it should not be too smooth.

-

Although it had been expected, but after knowing the conditions proposed by Xuanyu Pavilion for seeking medicine, Shen Ci remained silent, and even faintly became angry in his heart.

Xuanyu Pavilion was built on ten thousand steps, and they asked Lu Shuo to worship and kowtow to go up the steps to visit Xuanyu Pavilion.

For a cultivator, the ten thousand steps are strenuous, let alone for ordinary people.Moreover, Xuanyu Pavilion requires not to stop and rest on the way. If there is a slight mistake, it will be regarded as dishonest. Even if you arrive at Xuanyu Pavilion, the door will not be opened.

This rule is not strict, it is already harsh.

If Lu Shuo really went, let alone whether the medicine could be obtained, the leg would be disabled first.

"He's really gone?" Hearing the news from the palace man, Shen Ci snapped down the scroll she was reading.

He has always shown others with a gentle and weak attitude. The palace servants have never seen his tough side, so they were taken aback, and cautiously replied: "Yes... His Majesty agreed immediately..."

Shen Ci clenched his hands, a little anger filled his heart, and cursed a fool in a low voice.

I don't know if the medicine can save him, so I am so anxious to work hard.

After being stunned for a while, Shen Ci slowly calmed down again.

He pressed his temple.

A trace of bewilderment filled his mind.

Seeing that he was silent, 888 asked worriedly, "What's the matter with you, host?"

"I don't quite understand." Shen Ci said after a pause.

888 blinked the small system light twice: "I don't understand what?"

Shen Ci was silent for a while, and spit out two words: "Lu Shuo."

Shen Ci really didn't understand why someone could give all his love so unreservedly.

Aren't you afraid that you will lose everything in the end?

Besides, Shen Ci felt that although she was good to Lu Shuo, her efforts were far from what he gave in return.

From the perspective of equivalence of interests, Lu Shuo is not worth doing this at all.

Shen Ci pursed her lower lip lightly.

He likes Lu Shuo, but this kind of love has always been separated by a thick layer of fog.

He has never thought deeply about the relationship between the two of them, he just wants to try it first, anyway, if something happens, just stop the loss in time.

Push the boat along the current and go with the flow.

But now, this layer of fog seems to be picked up and broken by Lu Shuo's straightforward and clear love.

Shen Ci closed the scroll in his hand silently, lost his concentration, and did not speak again.

-

After all, Lu Shuo kowtowed and knelt down the [-]-step staircase.

Knees grind on the rough stone steps that are still covered with gravel.

It is said that when he arrived in front of Xuanyu Pavilion, his knees had been ground to a bloody mess, but he still managed to reach the door of Xuanyu Pavilion, and calmly bowed to the closed door:

"Please Xuanyu Pavilion obey the promise and give me the medicinal materials."

Xuanyu Pavilion was finally moved by his sincerity, not only took out the medicine, but also carefully treated Lu Shuo's leg injury, and ordered the disciples in the pavilion to go back to the capital with him to see Shen Ci.

That disciple is an acquaintance.

It is the heroine of the original text, the eldest disciple of Xuanyu Pavilion, Qingyu.

She has a beautiful appearance and a quiet and introverted temperament. She is wearing a white robe and holds Buddha dust in her hand.

And when she saw Shen Ci, the first thing she said was: "You can't use this medicine."

At this time, the rest of the people have been screened away, and only the two of them are left in the room.

The disappointments in these years have been accumulated enough, Shen Ci is not too surprised by this result, but just has to ask one more question.

"Why?"

Qingyu looked at him: "You are not from this world."

The air was quiet for a second.

888 just stared blankly: "Su, the host, she can actually see that..."

Shen Ci narrowed her eyes for a while, and then made a lazy and casual smile: "Xuanyu Pavilion is really powerful."

"But people who are not in this world can't use this medicine?" He asked.

"No."

Qingyu shook her head.

Her eyes are clear, as if she can look straight into the depths of a person's soul.

She said quietly, "This medicine is so pure and pure that a soul with blood on its hands cannot take it."

Shen Ci remembered: "You mean Lu Shenchang?"

"It's not him," Qingyu said, "it's another person, who should be acquainted with the son himself."

Shen Ci paused.

"Reincarnation of karma, retribution is not good, if it is an ordinary revenge, it will be fine, but the method you used against that person is too tortured and vicious, the blood has soaked into your soul, and you can no longer use the elixir."

Hearing these words, the smile on Shen Ci's face gradually subsided.

He stared at Qingyu for a while, his eyes were deep, and after a while, he sighed again in a vague way: "Xuanyu Pavilion is really extraordinary, you can see it."

Although it was praise, but the tone was very cold.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Qingyu lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

After such a stalemate for almost a minute, Shen Ci calmed down the surrounding indifference that was about to turn into substance.

He leaned back on the slum and looked out the door.

Outside the door, Lu Shuo was waiting for the final result.

He himself didn't really care if he lived or not, but it was Lu Shuo who desperately begged for him, and he didn't want to disappoint this brat.

"Is there really no other way?" Shen Ci still looked at the door, and said in a calm tone, "He was asked by your Xuanyu Pavilion to kneel down the ten thousand steps. Is Xuanyu Pavilion planning to refuse?"

Qingyu followed his gaze and looked outside.

She lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then hesitated:

"The soul of the son outside has followed you for four lifetimes. Put his blood into this medicine, which may neutralize the medicine's properties and save your life."

-

The two talked again in the room, and Shen Ci got up to send Qingyu out.

Qingyu stopped him from getting up, and said in a calm and gentle voice, "You are not in good health, so don't move around. I will stay in the palace for a few days and help you decoct medicine."

Sitting on the bed, Shen Ci bowed slightly to her: "Then Daoist Lao Qingyu will be here."

Qingyu hummed and said nothing.

"It's just my son, please listen to my advice," she said, "Although I don't know what happened to you, I can't warn you about the past, but you can still pursue the coming ones. Don't be imprisoned by the paranoia in your heart anymore. Look ahead."

Shen Ci paused, then smiled at her, and returned the courtesy:

"Yes, thank you for your guidance."

-

As soon as Qingyu went out, Lu Shuo strode in, half-knelt beside Shen Ci's bed, and asked cautiously, "Father Jun, what's the matter?"

Shen Ci looked at his tense and restrained expression, rubbed his hair, and smiled: "Thank you Your Majesty, my body is probably saved."

A gleam of joy appeared in Lu Shuo's eyes. He had developed a taciturn personality since he was a lonely child, and it was the first time Shen Ci saw such a straightforward expression on his face.

Lu Shuo hugged him, buried his head in the socket of his neck and rubbed it against him: "It's as long as Father Jun is fine."

Shen Ci patted him on the back, and said with a smile, "You're still so clingy even though you're the emperor."

Lu Shuo kissed him: "I will always cling to Jun father."

"By the way," Shen Ci thought about it, and asked worriedly, "How's your leg?"

"Father, don't worry." Lu Shuo raised his head, hugged Shen Ci, and kissed him on the earlobe, "Xuanyu Pavilion's healing is very effective, and my son's leg is no longer seriously injured."

He said in a low voice: "My sons and ministers want to be with Junfu for a long time."

-

After taking Lu Shuo's blood and medicinal properties, Shen Ci's body really got better day by day.

When he was 40 years old, Lu Shuo chose a new crown prince from the clan, taught him for two years, and then handed over the country to him, and he took Shen Ci to travel together.

The DPRK and China have many speculations about the relationship between the two of them, but no one dares to speak out.

Fang Bai and Pei's father and mother know the inside story, but one has long been numb to seeing too much, and the other dotes on Pei Weixue very much, as long as his son is happy, he won't be upset The thing is very satisfactory.

Look, Father Pei thought proudly as he stroked his beard, they said that only the emperor could be worthy of their Wei Xue.

At the age of 54, Shen Ci and Lu Shuo returned to the palace.

Although I lived for more than [-] years by relying on medicine, this body still suffered from too many diseases and declined prematurely.

Shen Ci was lying on the bed, looking at the person with vague consciousness.

Lu Shuo sat down beside his bed as usual, took Shen Ci's hanging hand, and kissed lightly on the back of his hand.

"Father Jun." He said softly.

In these years, Shen Ci traveled the world together with him, helping the common people, his blackness value had already dropped to zero, and the gloom between his brows that had been condensed due to the encounters he had suffered as a teenager was no longer there, but was replaced by a steady and mature one.

Shen Ci responded, her voice was already very weak.

Lu Shuo gently straightened his somewhat messy hair with his fingers: "Father Jun, don't worry, I will follow you wherever Father Jun goes."

The attitude in his words was already very clear, Shen Ci smiled weakly, with a helpless tone.

"You..."

He wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. Before the medicine was found, Lu Shuo had already prepared the coffin for himself.

Shen Ci coughed slightly, thought for a while, and changed the topic.

"Lu Shuo."

Lu Shuo responded, and lowered his head to listen to his words: "My son is here."

Shen Ci looked at him, her eyes softened, and she asked softly, "Who are you?"

Lu Shuo looked at him inexplicably.

Shen Ci smiled, and wanted to raise his hand to rub his hair for the last time, but in the end he still had no strength.

He closed his eyes and his breathing gradually stopped.

The room fell silent.

Lu Shuo just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, feeling his body become completely cold, then slowly got up, closed his eyes, and kissed Shen Ci's closed eyelids.

……

Emperor Wu is a very legendary emperor in history.

During his reign, he carried out significant reforms, and his national power became more than ten times stronger than before, truly reaching the prosperity of Haiyan and Heqing.

After he never married in his whole life, he was buried together with his father-in-law after his death.

The vaguely ambiguous rumors between him and his father-in-law circulated in various unofficial histories, adding a touch of mystery to himself.

As time goes by, the exact facts are buried under the long river of history, leaving only rumors for future generations to speculate and pursue.

-

When Shen Ci woke up, she felt extremely dizzy, like a hangover symptom.

He rubbed his temples, opened his eyes, and saw not far away, a young man with the appearance of a little Taoist stared at him with his eyes wide open.

"Hey!" Seeing that Shen Ci opened his eyes, he was holding a mahogany sword in his hand, stumbling and spitting, "He, what evildoer, don't hurry up, catch him with nothing!"

Shen Ci: "..."

Shen Ci: "Huh?"
