Birds on the edge of the abyss 24
Shen Luli followed the young eunuch who came to greet him and walked slowly into the palace. He entered from Xuanwu Gate and was allowed to enter after going through many inspections.
The eunuch traveling with him was very smart and quick-witted. He kept talking about the surrounding scenery along the way with a bright smile, which brightened Shen Luli's depressed mood.
He didn't know how he got home last night. When he opened his eyes, it was already noon. Gold needles were inserted into the acupuncture points all over his body. Lan Huan was dozing off on the bench beside him. Shen Luli pushed him awake with trembling hands. The man held him down anxiously and asked him not to move.
But Shen Luli couldn't do it. Today was the day to see the emperor, and he couldn't refuse.
Lan Huan then reluctantly took out a pill and asked him to take it. He didn't know what kind of magic pill it was, but his body instantly felt much better. Shen Luli instantly regained his energy and spirit. He forced himself to wear the clothes for the audience with the emperor and got on the carriage to enter the palace.
Walking on the long palace road, looking at the crimson high walls on both sides and the bluestone slabs under his feet, Shen Luli clenched his sweaty hands, lowered his head and took a breath. Ministers were not allowed to ride in carriages when entering the palace. He walked for about half an hour. Even the best elixir could not support his body that had been weakened for a long time. He was almost unable to hold on.
His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with cement, and he couldn't take a single step. His back felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe. He was dazed as he watched the eunuch's figure gradually walking away and the voice in his ears gradually becoming distorted. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and wanted to ask for help.
But for some reason, I couldn't make a sound from my throat, as if someone was strangling me.
Finally, he fell to the side, but fell into a warm embrace the moment he landed. After being pulled up by his arms, Shen Luli regained some consciousness. He turned his eyes to the worried female official beside him, took a breath, lowered his head and said hoarsely
"Miss Leluo?"
"It's my servant. Is the young master okay?" Le Luo held Shen Luli firmly, his chassis was very stable, and his body was motionless.
"Nothing, thank you for your help, otherwise Peizi might have fallen to the ground and lost face." Shen Luli stood up, put a pair of white hands on Le Luo's shoulders, and stood up with a smile.
His beautiful face was exposed, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, his lips were red, and the breeze blew past, and it seemed that the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance.

"This slave deserves death. I didn't even notice that you were unwell." At this time, the eunuch who had walked away finally reacted and hurried to Shen Luli, kneeling down and kowtowed.
The sound of "bang bang bang" was so strong that his forehead was bleeding. The bright blood flowed down the bridge of his nose, cutting the ordinary face of the eunuch. Shen Luli's pupils shrank, and he bent over and retched a few times. He couldn't stand the smell or the sight of blood the most. When he saw it, his stomach instantly turned upside down.
But he had only drunk a small dish of porridge from last night until now. Now he couldn't vomit anything even if he retched. His stomach was empty as if there was a fire burning in it. Shen Luli pushed Le Luo's arm away, bent his head and spit out a mouthful of blood. Trembling, he reached into his arms and took out a small medicine bottle. He took out a pill from it and reluctantly swallowed it. Then his waist collapsed and he knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Heh...Heh..." Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Shen Luli took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, suppressing the blood that wanted to gush out. He shook his head at Chong Leluo, and his bright eyes were covered with red bloodshot. Shen Luli felt very uncomfortable.
Le Luo turned around and shouted at the eunuch to leave, then pulled Shen Luli up. Seeing how miserable he was, he couldn't help but put his slightly rough hands on his back.
She had seen Lan Huan make the pills that Shen Luli had just taken. This medicine was effective in saving lives and was worth a fortune. He couldn't even make five pills in a year, but Lan Huan gave them all to him, which showed his good intentions.
The vigorous internal force entered the body along the back, accelerating the volatilization of the medicinal effect. After a while, Shen Luli felt much better. He put away the white handkerchief, supported Le Luo's arm with a pale face and said
"The young lady actually knows martial arts. It turns out that His Highness is surrounded by talented people. Pei Zi is ashamed."
"Hehe, please don't tell anyone, if His Highness knows about it, I will be beaten." Le Luo said softly while supporting the frail sick beauty.
Shen Luli nodded and cleared his throat. Now that the medicine had taken effect and the cold wind had blown, his spirit had recovered a little, and his mind had become much clearer. He couldn't help but feel guilty for what had happened just now.
"Please rest assured, Miss. Peizi will not tell anyone."
"That's good," Le Luo said with a smile
With Le Luo's help, the two came all the way to Yongtai Palace. When they crossed the palace gate, Shen Luli glanced at the prince's carriage parked on the palace road outside, lowered his eyes, and slowly walked in.
All the way to the entrance of Ganquan Temple, before I could catch my breath, Hou Delin came down the steps and hurriedly came to meet me, and he started to blame me.
"Why are you so slow, Master Shen? Do you have to let His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait for you in person?"
Shen Luli opened his mouth and immediately apologized, "It was Peizi who neglected me. Please punish me, eunuch."
Hou Delin glanced triumphantly at the former noble and incomparable No. 1 son of Kyoto, then glanced coldly at Le Luo standing beside him, curled his lips, and said casually
"No need, hurry up and follow me into the palace to see the emperor. If you wait any longer, I will be punished!"
Le Luo's smiling eyes opened a crack, revealing a hint of murderous intent. She let go of Shen Luli's arm, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and straightened his clothes before saying softly:
"Sir, please don't miss the time. Come in quickly."
Shen Luli thanked him again and then entered the hall at Hou Delin's urging.
As soon as I stepped into the palace, the palace door was closed by the palace servants outside. At this time, the hall was filled with white gauze falling from the ceiling, which moved with the wind blowing in from the window.
Shen Luli frowned and took a step forward. The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of white gauze floating, which made him almost think he had come to the wrong place.
Because of the white gauze all around, Shen Luli was unsure of his direction and had to walk forward. Just after taking four or five steps, he heard a loud thump from behind him and someone fell to the ground. He turned around suddenly and saw no one there.
Shen Luli squeezed the cold sweat on his palms, and his whole body began to ache again. His fingernails dug into his palms. Shen Luli shouted calmly
"I, Chen Luli, come to pay my respects to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please show me the way."
In the empty hall, the sound traveled very far, but no one spoke for a long time. Shen Luli frowned, reached out and turned to push the palace door, but found that it could not be opened no matter what. He had no choice but to knock on the door and call the palace people to open the door.
But the suspicious thing was that there was no one outside, and the only response he received was the cold wind.
