Chapter 175 The Lantern is Poisonous
"It's our current Emperor Beiling." Zhao Hong took a mask and held it in his hand, saying, "He likes to go out and play, and so does the Imperial Master. He always goes out to play. This was decided in order to have fun with the people."
"So, this emperor seems to be quite good." Dong Ju pouted.
"Not really!" Zhao Hong shook his head.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Zhao Hong, and they always felt that this kid knew a lot.
"I grew up in the military camp with my mother and father since I was a child. My mother is good at making ingenious machines. My grandfather and his family were all skilled craftsmen in the palace. Many places in the palace were built by my grandfather and his family." Zhao Hong finished speaking, his eyes a little lonely.
Xiao Yin and Xiao Yue, who also grew up in the palace and experienced the expansion of the palace, knew that in such a palace, skilled craftsmen, especially those who designed the layout of the palace, would die when the work was completed. Therefore
, ordinary people with craftsmanship would stay away from the imperial city and would not be willing to enter the palace to do construction.
"What else do you know?" Xiao Yue walked over, bent down, helped Zhao Hong put on the mask, and asked.
"I also know that the emperor and the imperial teacher went to the streets in the past to find people." Zhao Hong said.
"Huh?" Xiao Yue was a little puzzled.
"The Imperial Master knows how to judge people. He has Yin-Yang eyes and can see people's blood through masks. As long as they like someone, that person will disappear. Even if he is fine at the time, he will be in trouble when he returns home." Zhao Hong said.
"Did your parents tell you about this, or who told you?" Xiao Yin asked.
Baby Ruoxi turned to look at this little brother.
"Little brother knows a lot. If that's the case, it seems that he is not an ordinary brother. But, why can't I see through him?" "
Is he just naturally smart? Or is he a soul entering the body?"
In the world of cultivating immortals, there is a saying that the soul enters the body. In order to temper it, it suffers from thunder tribulation, allowing the soul to enter the mortal body for cultivation.
If this is the case, Zhao Hong has been sick, but he is so smart, this matter can be explained.
After hearing what baby Ruoxi said, Xiaoyue glanced at her brother.
However, no matter what Zhao Hong's background is, they will accept him.
It is precisely because of Zhao Hong's special ability that Xiaoyue wants to keep him by her side.
Otherwise, as a princess with no shortage of servants to serve her, what does she want with a sick child?
"The Seven-Colored Palace is not a good thing. Everything they do is against the natural rules of human beings. Eternal life, immortality, invulnerability to swords and guns, these are all abnormal, so they must bring disaster to mankind." Yuan Hui said angrily when he mentioned the Seven-Colored Palace.
"My mother told me some of it, and I saw it myself." Zhao Hong nodded and said, "I have memories since I was a child. When my parents and I were still living on the streets of Beijing, my brother took me to the streets to play. I saw the national teacher kidnap a child. The child's family later found the child, but the child was no longer breathing, and all the blood on his body was gone."
"So, Beiling will still be lively at night? Isn't it very dangerous?" Dongju said.
"Yes, of course it will be lively. People still forget a lot. Everyone was still discussing the missing child the moment before, and continued to go out the next day." Zhao Hong said.
"It's not because they forget a lot, but because they feel that no matter what, these things will not fall on them." Xiao Yin said.
"This is even more interesting. If I guessed correctly, there were many wronged souls wandering in the palace in the afternoon. The Beiling Palace is damp, which is a good place to keep corpses. There must be a secret door in the palace. What is kept there?"
Thinking of this, Ruoxi frowned slightly, and her expression became serious.
"No, for the sake of the people, uncle and mother still have to take action!"
In the previous life, everyone said that she was a female devil, but she always protected the people. Even the silver earned from refining elixirs or hunting wild beasts in the mountains was used to help the people.
On the contrary, those hypocritical gentlemen, for their own selfishness, never cared about the lives of the people.
He talks a lot about morality, but he does the most disgusting things.
Her master was deceived because of his kindness. They only wanted to get the elixir he refined and his immortal cultivation secrets.
After nightfall, the group dispersed and left the tavern.
Xiao Yue took Zhao Hong, Nanny Jin, and
Master Jing En and said that he wanted to be alone, so he left early.
Xiao Yin was holding the baby Xiao Xier, followed by Eunuch Gao, Mo Jingyu and Bai Yu.
"This street is really lively."
Dong Ju was with Nanny Jin. She looked at the lanterns and the people passing by with curiosity.
"During the day, the streets are full of beggars, and everywhere is dilapidated and gray. It's so lively at night!" Dong Ju looked around and was quite curious.
"Follow us, don't get lost, there are many Tartars from Mobei among them, be careful!" said Nanny Jin.
"It seems that what they did is also convenient for the Tartars." Xiaoyue said.
On the other side, Xiaoyin was holding the baby, telling her about the scene on the street while walking.
"Xi'er, look, there is a lantern here, this lantern..."
"It's poisonous!"
Baby Ruoxi was very calm.
Xiaoyin twitched his mouth, and Baiyu on the side also saw that there was something different inside the lantern.
"How much is this lantern?" Baiyu stepped forward and asked.
"It's for children. Do you have children?" The person selling the lantern glanced at Baiyu and saw that he was tall and had a sword on his waist. Although his face could not be seen, his temperament could guess that this person was good at kung fu.
Therefore, he was unwilling to sell the lantern to the vendor.
"I want a lantern!" On the side, Mo Jingyu stepped forward and handed over a few copper coins.
"Okay, pick one." The vendor turned the cart with lanterns and let Mo Jingyu choose.
"This one!" Mo Jingyu stretched out his hand and pointed at a lantern.
"Okay, this one!" When the vendor took the lantern and gave it to Mo Jingyu, he also grabbed his hand.
"Biya!"
After leaving the lantern stall, baby Ruoxi poked her head out of her uncle's arms, pointed at little brother Jingyu and started talking in baby talk.
She was not sure if the little brother knew that the lantern was poisonous, and the lantern seller had just smeared medicine on his palm, a poison from the Western Regions that could make people sleepy.
"Such a simple poison is the easiest to be overlooked. Even if one's kung fu is very high, he is most afraid of a kitchen knife. Brother Jingyu, do you know that?" The baby was really worried.
