Chapter 134 Ceremony

For a moment, Li Fu became dazed.

He couldn't help but think, if the note in the dream could appear in the real world, did that also mean that the person in the dream could also appear in the real world?

But at that time Li Fu just thought about it and did not think deeply about it.

Chu Ran still didn't show up until the next night.

This cannot be blamed on Chu Ran. It might be because he stayed up too late some time ago and did not rest well afterwards, which led to a decrease in immunity. Chu Ran thought that he would be fine after a good sleep. It turned out that "not being able to bear it" was just the body's ultimatum to Chu Ran. Chu Ran slept for a whole day and night and did not wake up until the morning of the third day.

When Chu Ran saw that he could sleep for so long, he was shocked at first, and then he started to get nervous.

I haven't seen Li Fu for two days in a row. Although I left a note for Li Fu on the first day, I don't know whether Li Fu can accept it.

After Chu Ran woke up, he hurriedly put on his clothes and socks, casually tied his hair up, put on his hat, and hurried to Qianxing Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qianxing Palace, Chu Ran saw Dong Quan standing at the door. Chu Ran lowered his head and walked towards Dong Quan quickly. He was still thinking about how to explain this matter to Dong Quan and how to inquire about Li Fu's situation indirectly without arousing suspicion.

Before Chu Ran could speak, Dong Quan said, "Are you awake?"

Chu Ran: “Ah…ah?”

Dong Quan looked confused. "We didn't assign you too much work, did we? Why are you so sleepy all day? If the Fifth Prince saw this, he would think we were bullying you."

"No, no..." Chu Ran smiled dryly.

Maybe for Li Dingning's sake, Dong Quan has been very caring towards Chu Ran. Although Chu Ran also works, it is all light work and not tiring... But doesn't Chu Ran need to stay up late at night to accompany someone, so he looks very tired.

"Okay, go to bed early at night from now on and don't go out and fool around." Dong Quan frowned.

Chu Ran: “…Oh, yes.”

There were many young eunuchs in the palace who had nothing to do at night and liked to gather together to gamble. Dong Quan probably thought Chu Ran went to gamble.

Dong Quan walked forward, and Chu Ran followed him happily, "Eunuch Dong, last night His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty did not sleep last night and went to court early this morning."

Chu Ran's eyes darkened.

Sure enough, something happened.

Forget it. There’s no point in thinking too much now. I’ll just explain it to him in the evening.

However, Li Fu did not come to Qianxing Palace the whole day. When it was getting dark, Dong Quan came to inform Chu Ran and asked him to go with him.

I don't know where they were going, I just know that after walking for a long time, Dong Quan brought Chu Ran to a spacious and secluded courtyard in the palace.

It was so late, but the yard was brightly lit with candles, and at the same time, strange noises were coming from the yard.

Dong Quan whispered to Chu Ran, "You go in with me, keep your voice down, and stand aside and watch. Don't move around or look around. Do you understand?"

Chu Ran nodded and whispered, "I understand."

Only then did Dong Quan feel at ease and took Chu Ran into the yard.

Chu Ran followed Dong Quanshen, walked around the side of the courtyard, and raised his head slightly secretly.

With his back to Chu Ran, there was a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, and a Taoist boy was following him. Chu Ran recognized these two people, they were Taoist priest Shou Zhen and his apprentice whom he had met before. The old Taoist priest was holding a dust whisk in his hand, and in front of him was an incense burner on the table. The old Taoist priest was waving the dust whisk in his hand, and mumbling something in his mouth.

Going further, there was a huge ice coffin placed in the middle of the yard. In front of the coffin was Li Fu, with half of his face hidden in the darkness.

Chu Ran was startled.

This scene was extremely similar to the scene Chu Ran had dreamed of before.

Who is in the ice coffin? Could it be... him?

Chu Ran just stood aside, watching quietly, as if he had already guessed who was lying in the coffin. Chu Ran didn't even dare to really raise his head and look at the coffin for confirmation.

The ceremony lasted for quite a long time, but Chu Ran didn't feel it was long at all. He just felt confused, especially when he saw the old Taoist priest waving his whisk around in a mysterious way. Chu Ran's emotions became even more complicated.

Finally, the old Taoist stopped, then raised his head, looking at the tall and upright emperor in front of him with his aged and cloudy eyes. The expression in his eyes seemed more like some kind of hint.

The ice coffin was half opened, and the emperor finally took his noble steps. His cold and sharp face left the darkness and appeared completely under the candlelight. Even so, his body was not affected by the warmth. He still exuded an lingering, bone-chilling coldness that made people feel terrified.

Li Fu stopped only when he reached the ice coffin.

Taoist Shouzhen waved his whisk, placed it on his arm, and reminded him slowly, "Your Majesty has a dragon body, you can ask others to do the work for you."

Li Fu did not say anything, but lowered his head and stared quietly at the person who was sleeping forever in the ice coffin.

He stretched out his hand, and Dong Quan immediately lowered his head and respectfully presented the dagger.

Li Fu took the dagger, then rolled up his dragon robe and cut his arm. Blood quickly flowed out from the wound and dripped into the ice coffin.

It's crazy.

Li Fu is really a lunatic!

No wonder that night I always felt that Li Fu's arm was bumpy. Chu Ran thought that it was the scar left by Li Fu in the previous battle. It turns out that this is how the scar came from!

What kind of ritual is this! He doesn't really think that if he does this, he will survive?!

Shit! Stop it! Do you have to bleed yourself dry?

Chu Ran almost couldn't control himself and wanted to rush forward to stop Li Fu.

Big idiot! Idiot Li Fu!

Li Fu is just a stupid idiot! A big fool!

Chu Ran cursed in his heart, why did he hurt himself like this! Even if he saw it, he would not be happy!

Finally, Li Fu stopped and put down his sleeves. Due to excessive blood loss, Li Fu's face became a little paler than before, but his expression did not change and his look was still cold and gloomy.

"Everyone, please step back." Li Fu said calmly.

Everyone in the yard retreated one after another, including the dead Taoist priest who made Chu Ran so angry that his teeth itched. Only Li Fu and Dong Quan were left in the yard.

Chu Ran followed the main force and walked out slowly, but he felt an indescribable sour feeling in his heart. He walked out of the yard and suddenly turned around. Through the gap of the slowly closing door, Chu Ran saw the young emperor bending his tall back and kissing her cold lips, which had long lost their temperature and sensation, devoutly and affectionately.
