Want to buy osmanthus (4)
The imperial physician frowned after taking the patient's pulse. "Your Majesty has been overly worried and practicing evil techniques, and has been holding the Empress all day. You have become too cold, and your body is seriously damaged."
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that time is running out."
The imperial physician lowered his head and spoke tremblingly.
The young man on the couch had a pale face, with a thin layer of sweat on his temples, and his long fingers were slightly bent as he scratched the tight quilt.
"Got it. Go on down."
Pei Yuanchi looked at his good brother who had fought side by side with him in the past and saw how he looked now: "Why are you doing this?"
…
Jin State.
The lights in the East Palace were on late at night. A man in a gorgeous robe sitting on the main seat in the main hall held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes in deep thought.
"Your Highness, the new emperor of Ning State has neglected state affairs, spending his days guarding the Empress's body. He is now bedridden and appears to be dying. The court is in turmoil, people's livelihood is in decline, and the treasury is empty. We should seize this opportunity to conquer him and expand the territory of our Jin State."
This was proposed by the staff of Helan Sheng, the Crown Prince of Jin.
"No rush, before that, we need to add another fuel to the fire."
Xiyao didn't know what he was going to do, but it was definitely not a good thing.
The woman stood aside in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Yao'er, come here." Song Jinsheng waved to Xiyao.
The woman walked over in small steps, very well behaved.
"Your Highness."
Ever since she knew her master's true identity, Xiyao dared not neglect him at all.
The man got angry and frowned slightly: "Your Highness, what do you mean by Crown Prince? To you, I will always be just your master."
He Lansheng gently stroked the back of the woman's hand.
Xiyao stiffened slightly, but still smiled faintly: "Yes, Master."
Only then did He Lansheng smile with satisfaction.
"I asked the kitchen to make your favorite snacks, come and eat them." The man's voice was gentle, completely different from the gloomy one he had just had when he was discussing matters.
Various pastries were placed on the small lacquered gold plates, but they were all filled with almond fillings.
Xiyao doesn't like it.
It’s not that I don’t like almond filling, but I don’t like the almond-filled pastry that Helan Sheng gave me.
The man had gentle eyes and looked at Xiyao with tenderness. From the looks of others, he seemed to be a good husband who loved his wife.
Xiyao didn't want to eat, but she didn't dare to refuse because it was her master's order.
Xiyao knew that if she disobeyed, Helan Sheng would be furious and even punish her.
"yes."
The delicate soft biscuit was filled with almond-flavored honey filling, which was sweet but not greasy and melted in the mouth. Xiyao's mouth was filled with the refreshing fragrance.
Suddenly, a kiss came, He Lansheng held Xiyao's head tightly, endlessly plundering the sweetness under her lips.
Xiyao was breathless, her cheeks quickly flushed. Their lips parted for a moment, their silver threads connected, and then another round of attacking the city ensued. The two soft lips, lingering and entangled, the woman wanted to withdraw but was strangled.
“Hmm, hmm, hmm.”
Xiyao is dying. If she doesn’t come out, she will faint.
Only then did He Lansheng let her go.
"It seems that Yao'er has been lazy in practicing martial arts, and she can't do it so soon." He Lansheng teased the woman with red cheeks.
Xiyao couldn't think of any rebuttal and could only glare at him hatefully.
Soon, Xiyao didn't want to see him anymore, so she ran out.
He Lansheng put away his smile and looked at the woman's back with a terribly gloomy expression.
…
Tang Xixu finally woke up after sleeping for two days. After dressing himself, he went to see Xu Ning.
The quiet stone cave was bitterly cold, and Tang Xixu was only wearing a thin robe.
The ice coffin was empty, and Xu Ning was nowhere to be found.
The emperor's expression suddenly changed and became gloomy and cold.
Everyone in the palace gathered in the inner hall, and the black-robed emperor sitting on the main throne rubbed his forehead lightly.
"Tell me the truth now, and I'll leave you with your body intact. Otherwise, you all know what I'll do to you."
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, their hearts were beating fast, they didn't know what was going on, and no one dared to say a word.
"Don't you know? That would be neglecting the Queen and deliberately failing in one's duty."
After a while, no one spoke.
"Then go and die. You can't do anything good while you're alive anyway. You know I never keep idle people."
The palace maids and eunuchs were horrified and looked around.
"Your Majesty, we servants really don't know."
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!" Some palace maids kowtowed immediately.
"What's going on?"
After hearing this, Pei Yuanchi put down what he was doing and hurried over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Tang Xixu looked coldly at the palace maid who was begging for mercy.
Pei Yuanchi said carefully, "Your Majesty, everyone in the palace knows that the Empress is the most noble woman in the world. Who would dare to neglect her?"
"My men said that a few young eunuchs teamed up with some men in black to kidnap the queen last night."
The eunuchs were brought up, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Xixu appeared in front of the young eunuch from the high seat three miles away.
"Click"
Tang Xixu broke the necks of the three men with his bare hands without any hesitation.
The palms of the remaining palace servants were sweating, and some were even shaking. They had never seen the young emperor look so cruel.
After the palace maids left, Pei Yuanchi said solemnly, "It's someone from Jin."
Tang Xixu sneered. If Pei Yuanchi hadn't told him, he would have forgotten that there was such a small country.
"I'm really tired of living."
Pei Yuanchi didn't want Tang Xixu to take it lightly.
"Helan Sheng is back. He has been made crown prince."
Tang Xixu raised his eyebrows: "So what if you are the Crown Prince? There is no one I cannot kill if I want to."
He Lansheng looked at the woman wading on the ice with an unusual expression.
"It's still a little worse than your mother's. It's a pity that this face is 80% similar to hers." He Lansheng gently stroked Xu Ning's face, the man looked obsessed.
Xiyao noticed He Lansheng's strange behavior these days, so she quietly followed him today.
The same woman's portraits hung throughout the secret room: some were taking a nap, some were appreciating the snow, some were drinking tea, and most were practicing martial arts. The woman was heroic, a heroine, and her face resembled Xu Ning's, yet also different. This woman was older, with a more composed look between her features.
Xiyao accidentally stepped on a branch and quickly covered her mouth.
"who?"
He Lansheng quickly realized that Xiyao was trying to escape, and the man was holding her shoulders tightly.
"It's me, Master." Xiyao was trembling with fear and panic.
He Lansheng calmed down and softened his tone: "So it's Yao'er. This is not the place for you to come. From now on, you can't come here without my permission. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Xiyao lowered her head and left.
He Lansheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and after a moment he went back and continued painting.
He Lansheng looked at Xu Ning's painting. The woman had a calm face, similar to Xu Ning but not like Xu Ning.
In the second year of Chengyuan, Emperor Gaozu Tangxi Xu gave up the throne to Prime Minister Pei Yuanchi, and the former Minister of Revenue Zhao Mingshang was promoted to Right Prime Minister, the first female prime minister in history, to assist the new emperor in handling state affairs.
From then on, Tang Xixu was called the Supreme Emperor and lived in the deep palace for a long time.
…
"Your Highness, something bad has happened! A rain of guns and stabbings are coming all the way in from outside the imperial city!" He Lansheng's guards came in in a panic.
He Lansheng said slowly, "Why are you panicking? He's just one person. How can the entire Eastern Palace or even the Jin Kingdom be afraid of him?"
Tang Xixu has reached the level of Grand Master, and his strength alone can match that of 5,000 elite soldiers. As for the State of Jin, it is a small country with few people. It is the remnant of the former Jin Dynasty. It has weak soldiers and horses, and its treasury is empty. It is difficult to resist such a powerful enemy.
The silver-white spear was stained with blood, and every shot was a fatality. The dark red palace walls were covered with blood, and the gray-white steps were filled with corpses. The young man walked all the way, with ice in his eyes, without a trace of warmth.
"ah"
"ah"
"ah!"
Along the way, palace maids and eunuchs fell down or died, no one escaped.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
A young eunuch ran all the way, but his speed was nowhere near as fast as the flying hidden weapon. Before he reached the palace gate, his throat was cut by the dart.
Another silver dart flew in front of the man in brocade robe, and He Lansheng barely grasped the tip of the knife with his long fingers.
"Where is my wife?"
The young man was very calm, his face expressionless, as if asking you, have you eaten today?
He Lansheng ignored him and started fighting with Tang Xixu.
Unexpectedly, within half a minute, He Lansheng was beaten to the ground.
The man in brocade robe quickly spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Tang Xixu unwillingly.
"I'll ask you one last time, where is the person?"
The tip of the gun was pointed at Helan Sheng's face, and he could clearly feel the wind blowing from the tip of the gun.
He Lansheng stared at Tang Xixu and sneered: "Hahahaha, how would I know? Just guess."
"I remember I handed her over to a few eunuchs. They had a blast playing with her. I guess they've already..."
"vomit"
As the long penis penetrated him, blood flowed down the corner of his lips. He Lansheng laughed loudly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Tang Xixu jokingly, "Even if I die, you will still be a loser. I laugh at your stupidity. You have carefully planned for nearly ten years, but your revenge was wrongly avenged, and everything was in vain. In this game of chess, you are just a pawn, hahahahahaha——"
Tang Xixu retracted his gun and pinched He Lansheng's shoulders. "What did you just say?"
"What does this mean!"
The man on the ground chuckled, and died the next moment.
It was as if his soul had been sucked away, Tang Xixu's pupils became unfocused, and he wandered around aimlessly and distraught.
Blood rushed to his throat, and Tang Xixu caught it. It was black, like ink.
Tang Xixu sneered and shook his head, his heart dead.
Seeing that there was no one outside, a woman tiptoed out of the closet.
The tip of the gun was immediately placed on Xiyao's shoulder.
"Don't, don't kill me, I, I know where Xu Ning is."
Xiyao took Tang Xixu to find Xu Ning. Tang Xixu couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the painting in the secret room.
The young man held Xu Ning's body and set fire to the palace before leaving.
The emperor of Jin was bedridden, and all the concubines had long been sent to the imperial mausoleum by Helan Sheng to keep company with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp.
The fire was blazing fiercely, and many sleeping palace maids were woken up by the fire and rolled on the ground.
Tang Xixu's eyes were cold. When a dying man asked him for help, the young man remained indifferent, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
"I've helped you find her, please let me live!"
Tang Xixu couldn't hear what Xiyao was saying. Xu Ning's body was decaying and was not as intact as it was a month ago.
Her body is decaying and disappearing, and she can't come back.
It seemed as if everything had returned to the starting point, and was even worse than before. Tang Xixu was alone, like a wandering soul floating in this world.
The fire in the Jin imperial palace had not yet been extinguished, and countless soldiers in the city were killed or wounded.
The streets were suddenly empty. The buns in the bun shop were still steaming hot, and there were half-eaten noodles on the wooden table of the noodle shop. People fled in panic, some of them even without their scrotums.
“Ah” “Ah”
Tang Xixu was like a killing machine, repeating the same killing actions, his eyes lifeless and his pale face mostly splattered with blood.
"Woo-wah!" A child, who seemed to have been forgotten by his parents, was sitting in the middle of the street.
The child's cry was very loud, bringing some life to the chaotic dead city.
Tang Xixu squatted down gently, raised his hand to wipe the child's tears, and his long fingers brushed across the tender face. The tears disappeared, but the child's face was covered with blood.
[Alert! Alert!]
Since Xu Ning's death, his consciousness has been in chaos and his five senses have been blocked. The sudden alarm woke Xu Ning up.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Ning's mind was empty, he was sleeping soundly, smacking his lips.
[The main story progress bar has dropped to 60%! Please be alert, host!]
"What?!"
Xu Ning jumped up with a "whoosh", all sleepiness gone.
Guangyu replayed the scenes in the novel world after Xu Ning's death.
The young man did not remarry. Even though she was dead, Tang Xixu lived every day with Xu Ning's body as if he had just been married.
Day after day, the young emperor would draw eyebrows, tie hair, and dress a female corpse, and day after day, he would tell her interesting things that happened that day.
Something hard was breaking, and Xu Ning's heart was filling up bit by bit.
“Isn’t this a good life?”
Xu Ning couldn't see what was wrong.
[Because of your departure, he destroyed a city. Parallel world collapse warning!]
[Beep!]
[Beep!]
Then, the alarm continued to sound in the space where Xu Ning was.
The man in the picture had loose long hair. He was in his twenties, but for some reason his hair was mixed with black hair. He was holding a spear and killing people in the city. No one could stop him.
The only thing he was soft-hearted about was showing mercy to the young child.
Then the scene changed abruptly, and Tang Xixu appeared in a cave holding a decayed corpse.
